“Reckless Living,” Universal’s race track film of gamblers that features Ricardo Cortez, Mae Clarke, and Norman Foster, is tho attraction announced by tho Kosy for presentation to-day. Based upon last season’s stage hit, “On tho Up and Up,” the picture concerns the difficulties of a young wedded couple whom circumstauces force to act as a decoy for a group of race track gamblers. To complicate matters, the suave chief of the gamblers is more than kindly disposed toward the loving young wife, and tho young husband is the sort who makes many mistakes during the process of living. There arc exciting police raids and thrills'furnished by policemen, Robert Emmett O’Connor and Thomas Jackson. Slim Summerville and Marie Provost add the comedy, and Louis Nathoaux, Murray K.inncll, Russell Hopton, Perry Ivins, and Brooks Benedict play the “bookie” characters.

Pauline Moore, Universal’s 17-ycar-old “screen discovery,” makes her screen debut in “Reckless Living.” Tho little dark-eyed actress was playing small roles with the Ashbury Park, New Jersey, stock company, when Universal scouts gave her a test for pictures and immediately presented her with a ticket to Universal City and potential fame. Cyril Gardner was the director and Courtenay Terrett. and Tom Reed adapted the screen play from the Eva Iv Flint-Martha Madison play.
