NOR AT A SHEARER IN “RIPTIDE.” Incomparable Norma Shearer reaps new laurels as the gilded heroine of “Riptide,” her glamorous new Aletro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring vehicle which is coming to- the Alajestic Cinema tomorrow. In a daring role reminiscent of her triumphs in “Divorcee,” “Strangers Afay Kiss,” and “A Free Soul,” Miss Shearer plays the part of Lady Rexford, a girl who married a title and found to her dismay, that she had sacrificed the freedom and good times she laved so well. Appearance in her hour of marital discontent of a former New York sweetheart, provides motivation for the sensational romantic triangle upon which the film story is based. Edmund Goulding wrote and directed the sparkling production, giving the picture an elaborate mounting in pictorial interest as well as in supporting cast. Robert Afontgomery and Herbert Alarshall share loading man honours as the sweetheart and husband, respectively, both registering magnificently in these roles. Included in the cast arc Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Skeets Gallagher, Ralph Forbes, Lilvan Tashman, Arthur Jarrett, Earl Oxford, Helen Jerome Eddy, George K. Arthur, Baby Marilyn Spinnert, Phyllis Cochlan, Hiward Chaldecott, and Halliwell Hobbes.
