REBOUND

SOPHISTICATED COMEDY AND EXCELLENT DIALOGUE. MAJESTIC NEXT SATURDAY. "Rebound," RKO Pathe's pieture version of the Donald Ogden Stewart play which opens on Saturday at the Majestic Theatre is a well wi'itten and well acted, sophisticated comedy reminiscent of the Phillip Barry type of st'ory. Ii is not often that we have a chance of seeing a pieture that has a uniform quality of excellence in every phase. It usua'lly happens that if the dialogue is good, the actors cannot deliver it well — or if the actors are good, the story is poor. Here we have a charming story with excellent dialogue throughout and actors who know how to talk. Ina Claire, who plays the starring role, gives a performance that is well balanced and intelligent., She makes the most of the high spots of the pieture without over-acting in the slightest degree. She speaks her lines naturally. Just as she was on the stage, Miss Claire is a finished actress on the screen. An excellent supporting cast makes this hlm altogether an enjoyable one. Robert Williams, a stage actor of im-

portance, who appeared in the stage version of "Rebound," makes a charming "Johnnie." Robert Ames does well as Bill. Myrna Loy, who is good to look at and a good actress besides, is splendid as Evie. Hedda Hopper, Hale Hamilton, Walter Walker, Louise Closser Hale and Leigh Allen all give admirable performances.
