“When Ladies Meet” Plays Return Season

ANN HARDING CO-STARRED WITH ROBERT MONTGOMERY (Regent: Screening Wednesday next.) “When Ladies Meet” is most enjoyable screen fare which affords Ann Harding and Robert Montgomery the kind of roles we enjoy them most in and also brings to us a supporting cast of unexcelled adequacy. Adapted from tho Rachel Crothers stage play, the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture presents a novel angle on the old romantic triangle. It concerns a wife who know 3 her husband philanders and a young man who is worried because he finds his sweetheart playing a dangerous game with tho married man. Ho engineers the two women into a meeting that brings a result he has hopefully and gleefully anticipated. Harry Beaumont directed the picture with a fine vision and has given it a pictorial beauty in otherwise static settings. The sets have been executed with unique treatment and are among the most interesting ever seen on the screen. The camera work is equally impressive and adds much to the enjoyment of the picture as a whole. Miss Harding plays the part of the wife and Montgomery is the young man who is behind the scenes in the domestic turmoil. Myrna Loy is the girl of his interest and Alice Brady returns to the screen to triumph in a grand comedy role. Frank Morgan is tho husband and the cast is completed by Martin Burton and Luis AlbernL
