EFollies Girls
Star at Gayety

"The Girls From the Follies"
are at the Gayety this week and
have much to offer burleSque
patrons, in the way Of entertain
ment, fun and girls.
AS to the latter, the manage
ment is most generous, offering
three headliners In the persons
Of the mysterious "Tangara,"
whom we find is Ruby Foreman,
Ruth Peeler, and Betty Coulton.
Miss Peeler is q blond, and the
trio Is good to lock upon as well
as being talented. The ladies
Of the chorus also are most cap
able.
Comedy is doled out through
Walter Brown, Dutch comic, and
Johnny Crosby, Italian funster,
both Of whom have been seen
here before. Specially numbers
are interpolated by Anna Smith,
acrobatic dancer, and The Three
Black Aces" dark-skinned dancers
par excellence.
Frank Mallahan and Marvin
Harmon prove to be excellent
foilS for Brown and Crosby.

than on the player.
Skinner Is Star
Mr.. Skinner is Hail, the rascal
who begs aims at the mosque in
the name Of Allah but always
with a smile for the generous, a
curse for the careful. Years ago
one Johan killed the child Of
Hail and stole the wife and all
through the years that bitter
ness has increased in the heart
Of the beggar; even a lovely
daughter cannot make up to the
father the loss Of his son. Into
the mosque one day comes that
Johan, an old man almost help
less but with great wealth, and
Hail finds revenge very sweet,
more so probably because in his
desire to even scores he has faced
the agony Of torture and the
threat of death. In the end he
is banished from Bagdad but his
simple philosophy and ready wit
rise to the occasion and he Is
gay enough as he joins the
caravans bound for Mecca.
The cast in support of Mr..
Skinner is a notable one but with
the possible exception Of Sidney
Blackmer, who seems to have
found his niche on the talking
screen, is another of those regret
able cases Of adapting a role to
player rather than finding a
player suited to the role. Mary
Duncan makes little of the part
Of zaleekha nor are David Man
ners and Loretta Young, as the
lovers, much more than auto
nations acting under the guild
ance Of the director.
Good Stage Show
The stage offers a variety of
acts headlined by Charles Withers
and his famous old "Op'ry House."

LORETTA ASKS
TINY ROLE in
BIG FILMS

Loretta Young is a little girl
who has become a big star and
she wants to play little roles in
big pictures df necessary rather
than big roles in little pictures!
Untagle that and you have
quite a bit of information about
Mrs. Belzer's daughter and Sally
Blane'S sister.
That is one Of the several rea-
sons why Loretta is particularly
glad she played in "Kismet," the
most ambitious cinematic under
taking First National has launched
for many a year and now show
ing at Warmers Earl Theater.
The principal reason Loretta
rejoices in the role in KiSmet
of Marsinah, however, is that she
was able to work with Otis Skin
ner, who is perhaps more famous
for his beggar role Of Hail in
''KiSmet" than for any other
single part he has played in his
long career. And he has enacted
famous characterizations.
Duse occupies a pinnacle in
Loretta's row Of idols that no
one will displace. She has never
been so happy as she was when
one noted newspaper critic
writing of a role she played in a
picture called Fast Life" re-
marked rather casually: IF the
screen is to have a Duse, Loretta
Young is the most promising
candidate for the honor the
flickers have revealed"
But Otis Skinner has taken a
place with Charlie Murray, Lon

about talking pictures. Month

cameras ground out reels OF dar-
ing air battles-and the mimeo-

whet the appetite Of the fans for
this coming masterpiece.
Spectacular Film
This reviewer has no doubt
that Producer Hughes early dis
covered that he would have to
make up his mind as to whether
he wanted story or spectacle, and
he voted for spectacle. However,
whenever one becomes tired Of
seeing Zeppelin raids, breath tax

She is Jean Harlow, a new and

Not Much Story
The less said of the story the
better, and, besides, this is not a
plot picture, anyhow. The love
story is tossed in to relieve the
tension Of the real action-for the
true actors of "Hell's Angels"
are the airplanes Of 1917 type.
Theirs is the conflict, the comic
relief and the core of the drama.

The Washington times., 1930-12-29

Characters from life, some i'm
bued with the finer traits, others
succumbing to the frailties, but
all rising to supreme tests Of
nerve, as demands for strength
and courage bring forth these
sterling qualities.
This feature at Loew's Palace
begins with the early days be-
fore our nation entered the con-
flict. A group Of debutante girls
are enlisted as an Independent
unit to help "over there" Re
cruits from Throughout the States
augment their ranks. These girls
find their duties constitute such
work and effort as they never
before dreamed.
Two Love Stories
Two love stories thread through
the story, one between Babs, head
nurse, and a jolly Irishman, she
who keeps a level head despite
emotional unrest; and the other
between Joy, a beautiful young
girl, betrayed by one, a victim Of
the unnatural strain and excite
ment. This plot, very much IN
keeping with the trend Of the
tale, is smoothly unfolded, but
it is only a means Of p1ctur1ng
humanity caught in the whirllng,
swirling maelstrom which at
tended that not soon to be for
gotten tragedy of war.
June Walker, a Broadway star,
portrays the role Of BabS With
q fineness and capability which
does but make one wonder
whether she is only acting or
whether she Is re-living the ex-
perience. Anita Page is as lovely
a bit of femininity as graces
the screen, and as JOY, the young
girl who finds life too difficult, is
remarkable. Robert Montgomery,
Robert Ames. Marie Provost,
Helen Eddy, Hedda Hopper, and
Zasu Pitts, in supporting roles,
are all excellent.
