PLAZA THEATRE

’ ‘ SUCH WOMEN ARE DANGEROUS. ’ ’ “Such Women are Dangerous,” a comedy-drama starring Warner Baxter, opens to-day at the Plaza Theatre. The film combines romance, intrigue and mystery, and presents Baxter in a role that is ideally suited to his personality. Baxter finds himself the target of the love-making of three charming feminine stars, Rosemary Ames, Rochelle Hudson and Mona Barrie. Baxter, as a handsome bachelor-novelist, is the admiration of nine million women readers, but three women are directly concerned with his private life. Ono of them, his secretary, seeks to protect him from the love of a young girl who aims to marry him, and also a married opera singer who is madly infatuated with him. The young girl commits suicide and the novelist is accused of the murder. It is reported that the humorous and exciting developments through which the novelist is extricated from this unfortunate situation provides a thoroughly amusing and interesting climax to the story. Rosemary Ames has the role of Helen Hallock, the novelist’s secretary faithful aide, loving him in secret but never becoming a nuisance in his private affairs; deeply, tenderly concerned over the dramatic turn in his life as his very life is menaced by the plot complications and cleverly helping him to extricate himself from the emotional and legal muddle—finally to arouse his realisation of his love for her. In “Such Women Are Dangerous,” she is one of the three women who love Warner Baxter and the one who plunges the novelist into very serious trouble —a murder charge. She is a highly emotional, love-struck young romanticist, determined to stop at nothing to get into his arms. This is by far her most important role to date and, from all reports, she does a splendid job of it. Mona Barrie brings the poise and acting skill of considerable experience into her screen work. She played an important role in “Carolina” with Janet Gaynor and recently completed the second feminine lead in “All Men Are Enemies.” In “Such Women Are Dangerous” she has the very important role of Wanda Paris, most glamorously alluring and voluptuous of t'he three women in the life of the romantic novelist. Which finally wins him? You’ll have to see rte picture to learn that.
