EARLE-"The Man 1 Love. :"

That woman is still the greatest
force behind the achievements of man
is the theme Of Paramount's all-talkie,
The Man I Love-" at the Earle this
week. The man is a prize fighter
played by Richard Arlen. and the wom-
an is Celia, played by Mary Brian.
Mary Brian sings her first song for
the screen, but this reviewer cannot
say that she does it WELL for her voice
is nearly drowned out by a music
machine used as accompaniment.
Other than to look sweet and pretty.
which she can do to satisfy the severest
critic, Marys part calls for little. On
the other hand, the part of Richard
Arlen calls for a combination, all of
which he has in his repertoire. He
plays the pugilist, the timid love maker,
The husband and the drunkafd.
Baclanova, who plays the part Of
society Va1np, also sings a number, and
it is the best bit of recording. Harry
Green and Jack Oakie provide sparkling
comedy throughout the picture. 1t is
an entertaining picture.
The story deals with an ambitious
young prize fighter who falls in love
with and marries the piano player in
music store. They go to New York
where he can get a chance at the big
time" but he fails to meet the require
ments in the eyes of McGovern, the
prize fight manager. However, he con-
tinues to train in the gym until he is
finally given chance to box the
champion for the entertainment of a
society dowager. His quick knockout
of the champion catches the eye of the
manager as well as of the society belle
Her flirtations lead to meetings and
finally to the separation of the pugiliSt
and his wife. Then his big chance
comes, a match for the championship
of the world. He is badly beaten in
the first rounds, but near the end of
the fight McGovern tells him of his
Wifes best wishes and of her love.
With this as an incentive, he left-jabs

FOX-"The Valiant"


| In the short and spasmodic history
of the sound picture THE Valiant"
looms as triumph and a promise. For
sheer dramatic power and for a truth
full handling of the human emotions, it
holds rank among the few great pic
lures that have been produced since the
cinema was recognized as an artistic
medium.
The triumph of "The Valiant" is two
fold First of all. it marks a step to-
ward sincerity and dramatic truth that
is rare in the movies; secondly, it is a
great personal achievement for its star,
Paul MUM
1t has dicarded all the ingredients of
So-called boX-office appeal-the spec
tacle, the glitter, the too beautiful star
and it has substituted the elements of
true art. sympathy. sincere emotion,
imagination and feeling. Paul MUM,
new to the screen, gives a performance
that sayors no little of genius. His work
has dreadful earnestness. grim
Sublety; the Valiant, cynic, an
idealist, above all a hero, becomes in
the hands of this distinguished actor,
an .unforgettable character.
And while none of the supporting cast
approaches the star in greatness of per-
Torrance, there is present in each char
Il
which is this pictures great bid. Mar
guerite Churchill, also new, does almost
fiawlesS work in her sympathetic and
living performance.
The Valiant" is the story of heroic
gesture, its appeal is essentially emo
tional and its pathos is heart-rending.
And yet. with all its opportunities for
,hokum," the thing never deviates from
dramatic truth. 1t is directly, even
swiftly told, but with subtlety and an
imaginative power that carries us back
into the past history of the hero" and
makes the past as strongly felt as the
present with which this picture deals.
1t could have been done without sub
titles In fact, their Use is wholly I'M
necessary and adds a didactic note with
their rather high-floWn moral epigrams
Also, the picture closes with an anti
climax that is not needed in a film that
on the whole pays credit to the public's
imagination.
But The Valiant" is a great picture
artistically and technically, and it
leaves powerful impression.
The stage show is remarkably good
with the IA "FoXettes" winning the
biggest ovation Of all in their clever
roller-skate dance. John Irving Fisher
IS here to do the mastering in a way
that somehow simply Stays" his fol-
lowing. The stage stars are all winners,
and there is variety and novelty in their
numbers. Fox Moyietone News COM

COLUAIBIA--"The Studio Murder
Mystery"

Sound recording of high order, eX-
cellent photography and a reasonably
dexterous handling of plot, recommend
The Studio Murder Mystery" at the
Columbia this week. to warm-weather
moviegoers. The picture moves at
good clip, the acting is capable in most
details and the solution of the crime is
no strain upon the intellect.
The formula is essentially that of all
the murder-mystery talkies to date, es-
pecially similar to THE Canary Murder
Case" The crime is committed under
circumstances that cause the spectator
to suspect the leading villain (here a
little too obvious), then motives are
planted against four or five other per-
sons who had good reason TO pine for
the victims demise, and the race to
solution is on. The man who holds the
fell secret is himself done away with
(again, as in 1.-The Canary Murder') q,
thus providing a crime upon crime.
In the present film the director of the
final solution is a wise-cracking movie
comic who leavens his astuteness with
wit.
Scenes taken on actual movie sets
are included, more than ordinarily in
teresting because OF the photography
and lighting With one or two eXcep-
tons, the voices of the chief players
reproduce with satisfying clearness.
The directorial work of Frank futile is

Cobolini, Starck
Say City Losing
In Airport Deal
BY w. L. PENDERGRAFT

The city OF Brownsville Is losing
ground every day it fails to sign q
contract with the Pan-American
Airways. Inc. for use of the NUM-
cipal airport as q terminal for the
Brownsville to Mexico City air
mail and passenger route, in the
opinion OF Commissioners John q.
Starck and j. A. Cobolini.
In "a statement to The Herald
Saturday these members of the city
commission reiterated their stand
that the contract as agreed on by
the city and the Pan-American aft
er the first day of consultation
should have been signed and that a
contract should be drawn imme-
diately to meet the desires Of the
air mail contractors and signed.
The preferential option clause. on
which Mayor "A. B. Cole and Com
missioner A. G. Hipp based their OBJ
jectionS TO signing the contract.
Starck and Cobolini think Is not vi
cious. They see in it only the pro-
lection which any business concern
would require before making the
investment which they propose on
the tract Of land they are seeking
to lease.
Have Temporary Lease
The American has asked a
lease on an acre and a half OF
ground which includes hangar No.
2, the last one built.
On temporary contract the Pan
American is paying the city $500
rental for use OF hangar No. 2 for
one year. The company also Is to
pay the city profit Of one and
one-half cents per gallon on all
gasoline used until the consump-
ton passes 10000 gallons q month.
After that period has been reached
the payment tc the city Is to be
one cent gallon.
In support Of their contention
that the city Is losing ground in its
negotiations with the concern,
Starck and Cobolini say the Pan
American now in asking that de-
probation be credited as a basis for
fixing q rental.
Get Gas Profit
The contract which they were
discussing and which they said
should have been signed. proposed
that the one and one-half acres OF
ground be leased for term Of IL
years and six months TO the Pam
American. the rental TO be the
