HIDEAWAY GIRL.’'
"Hideaway Girl," which will be shown tonight. presents Shirley Ross as the attractive suspect in a
jewel theft. She is forced by those circumstances to play the part of the wife of Cummings, a stranger she meets in her flight. Love between the two blooms until the tell-tale jewels are found on Miss Ross and Cummings is reluctantly forced to turn her over to the police. All the real culprits are brought to book before the final fadeout, however —and the whole story is set to music. There are several lunes of hit proportions in “Hideaway Girl.” sung both by Miss Raye and Miss Ross. These are "Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Liszt, "What Is Love?" "Two Birdies Up a Tree,” and “Dancing Into My Heart.”
The mighty forces of Nature conspire with the fury of a scorned woman to make “John Meade’s Lady,” the other feature, a great and powerful story with an important lesson for those who believe a woman’s love can be bought with gold. Edward Arnold, as John Meade, industrialist, uses the love borne him by Francine Larrimore to humiliate Gail Patrick, high-born society girl who was untrue to him. Then Nature, which he had violated in order to enrich himself, and the scorn of the girl who loved him, turn on him and make him pay dearly for the mistake he made in believing he could use a woman’s heart in his own selfish game.
