THE POWELLS.
Although Joan Blondell and Dick Powell have been cast together many times in pictures, they have never had a chance to cavort the way they do in Paramounfs new comedy "I Want a Divorce." With a supporting cast numbering such capable performers as Gloria Dickson, Frank Fay, Jessie Ralph, and Conrad Nagel, Joan and Dick launch the story in a Divorce Court, where Joan's sister —Gloria Dickson —is getting a divorce. Joan helps things along with her testimony, and tells Dick how she hates to do it, convinced as she is that divorce breeds unhappiness. In a natural course of events, Joan and Dick are thrown together, and marry. Then comes fun— the disputes . faced by every . couple, sister-in-law arriving to chase hubby out of the other twin bed, and lots of things along those lines. It is a safe venture to say that the situations will seem familiar to lots of married couples. Frank Fay, screen and vaudeville star, is prominently cast, and Conrad Nagel is an old favourite.
