“PLAY GIRL." Bristling with spicy situations and smart dialogue, and cleverly blending emotional drama with sophisticated comedy, “Play Girl,” which will be shown tonight, stars Kay Francis. Her role in "Play Girl’ presents her as a glamorous fortune hunter who has lived by her wits. Thanks to her cleverly planned breach of promise suits she had done right well for herself until, on her last two campaigns, she draws blanks. Although she does not look a day older than 30 (she is really 40), she feels she is getting passe. Struck with the brilliant idea of carrying on her man-baiting campaign by proxy, she takes a beautiful but penniless young girl of 19, teaches her all the tricks she knows for fleecing wealthy play boys, and together they form a unique partnership, cashing in on the girl's youth and beauty and her own experience. From New York to Chicago they cut a mighty swathe through the bankrolls of unsuspecting but susceptible males, while the young girl carries a secret love in her heart for a happy-go-lucky cowboy who changed a tyre for them on a highway months previously.
