EMPRESS THEATRE
- "POSSESSED." The role of heroine of "Possessed" gives Jean Crawford a wide range of acting opportunities. She is seen as a factory worker who cannot reconcile herself to the poverty and drab existence of her class. Instead, she makes the most of her charm by going to New York, where she becomes intimate with Clark Gable in the role of a young millionaire with political ambitions. The love of Gable for Miss Crawford becomes a stumbling block when he aspires to become Governor'of his State. To render him free to execute a successful campaign, she consents to an engagement with a boy from her home town whom she does not love. But when at the nominating convention her name is made the butt of heckling propaganda, Miss Crawford resorts to more drastic measures, which results in a dramatic denouement of interesting consequences.
