Edward Everett Horton Makes Splendid Comedian

GENEVIEVE TOBIN STARS WITH HIM IN “UNCERTAIN LADY”

(Kosy: Screening To-day.)

When Edward Everett Horton started his career in motion pictures over a decade ago, his greatest ambition was to rival Charlie unapun m comedy worn. isow, after all the years that have passed, Horton still believes Chaplin the king of comedians. Horton has the' leading role in “Uncertain iiaay,” universal’s sopmsxicatea and gay drama. When a wife is faced with uncertainty about her husband, what should she do? The usual thing is to sue for divorce, but Genevieve Tobin finds a new and unusual method of dealing with

this situation in “Uncertain Lady.” According to Genevieve’s plan, when she discovers her husband is in love with another woman, she makes no scene whatsoever. On the contrary. She very charmingly invites the husband and the “other woman” to her office, and being a strictly business woman herself, outlines a strictly business proposition to her competitor.

The details of this astounding proposition provided one of tho most hilarious situations yet devised in a motion picture. The existing domestic triangle is soon complicated by the appearance of several ardent admirers of the wife, who in her bewilderment becomes a most uncertain lady. The picture, directed by Karl Freund from the play by Harry Segall, “Tho Behaviour of Mrs Crane,” has a cast headed by Genevieve Tobin and Edward Everett norton, with Renee Gadd, Paul Cavanagh, Mary Nash. George Meeker, Herbert Corlhell and Dorothy Peterson. Karl Freund directed.
