TAYLOR - STANWYCK, AT PALACE MONDAY Stanwyck and Taylor Prove De • lightful Romantic Team TO PLAY IN “HIS BROTHER’S WIFE” ON OCTOBER 5 AND 6 It was peculiarly fortunate that when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer de termined to produce the picture called “His Brother’s Wife,” W. S. Van Dyke was available to direct it. The picture opens at the Palace theatre Monday night with Holly wood’s most ronjjantic team, Bar bara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor, heading a remarkably fine cast. Van Dyke, of course, is a veteran not only of the camera but of jungle adventure, and “His Brother’s Wife” is a drama of the tropic wild erness. Van Dyke has resorted to his indelible memory of the steam ing interior to produce an effect | of realism that is truly astounding. Robert Taylor, right now the: screen’s most popular young star j of the masculine ranks, has a daring! role that he portrays with the dar- j ing it demands. He appears as a scientific explorer who falls in love with a beautiful redheaded girl on his last fling in civilization. His brother urges the boy to for get the girl and carry on with his expedition. He agrees and in her rebellion the girl marries the broth er. Returning from the jungle the fever-haunted explorer finds him self in love with his brother’s wife. It would not be justice to reveal the climax but you may be assured that Taylor takes the girl back into the jungles with him. And there, in a desperate struggle against the mysterious forces of nature, he saves her life and wins her love. Barbara Stanwyck gives a delight ful performance.
