CLAUDETTE COLBERT
FEATURINC WITH MELVYN DOUGLAS IN "THE WISER SEX." "HER CONFESSIONS." Drama of the thoroughly modern typ'e is "The Wiser Sex," the talking edition of Clyde Fitch's play, "Her Confessions," which the Majestic Theatre will offer on Saturday, November 26. Claudette Colbert, perhaps the "most unscandalised" beauty of films, and an exquisite brunette who performed charmingly in "Manslaughter," "Secrets of a Secretary" and "The Smiling Lientenant," is featured in the new offering with Melvyn Douglas, young stage thespian, who made his ph'otoplay debut with Gloria Swanson in "To-night or Never." Others in the cast are Lilyan Tash'man, William Boyd, Effie Shannon, Ross Alexander, Franchot Tone and Douglas Dumbrille. The direction is by Berthold Viertel. Miss Colbert is cast as a charming lady of luxurious means, who gives up a European play tour to come to the reseue of Douglas. Douglas, who neglects his love duties to wash up an underworld blot on his city, has heen prettily framed into a murder charge through the untender gestures of Boyd and Miss Tashman, a former showgirl friend. Action is said to abound in drama and thrills, sustained right up to the elimax, in which Miss Colbert, obviously doomed for her "last ride," neatly turns the tables on the "brains" of th'e gangster element. ■
