the director thatlnuch OF the value
is lost. In other words, the author
and the director have created such
an overexaggerated prison atmo-
sphere. that much of the comedy Is
lost or side tracked. I may be all
wrong in this. I personally believe
that I am all wet" on my opinion
that the majority will vote it a
mighty funny picture. But I have
my opinion and am telling 1t to
the world.
Have heard a lot of praise for the
comedy in this picture, long before
I saw it. But I maintain that the
basis of all farce as well as bur-
lesque is realism.
In this prison yarn, two OF the
worse crooks in the pen go nuts
over the idea that they must be
cupids even in prison and they
make their escape to go out into
the wide wide world to help another
crooks sweetie who is about to be
cheated by another crook, one OF
the type not in the pen.
After their good deed for the day
is done, they return to prison just
in time to help one of the prison
baseball teams win over another
gang of prisoners.
Even Claire Luce as female
crook couldn't get me interested in
her sad face. The bitter pill of this
story to me is that both men and
women are housed in the same jail.
Tell me, Oh, tell me if you have
ever heard of a coed jail. That is
going Just a little too far in farce
to make me laugh and you know I
laugh easily.
Even William Collier Sr., as one
Of the big shots in the prison base
ball team, couldn't make me laugh.
Maybe I am hopeless and all out of
step, but this picture handed me
only q few laughs.
And yet I know people who have
lust about tumbled out of their seats
laughing at the overdrawn situa-
lions.
So be your own critic this time.
Now at the Apollo.

B0n1ar Cxan1er
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

If there is any doubt that people
in this city are hungry for good
music, it was forever erased yes
terday at the John Heron art in
stitute Sunday afternoon.
When I arrived every seat was
taken. men and women were stand
ing on the stairs, draped over the
balcony, sitting on the steps and
TANNED into side rooms.
Was just about going to dare to
climb up on horses back, mean
ing a work of art. when the horse
was saved from being treated an
animal of burden. I was directed
to little side room. And I was
thankful.
know it is most difficult and un-
satisfactory to discuss concert by
hearing it from another room.
There is bound to be a difference in
sound. At times l had the impress
sion, because 1 was not able to see
Bomar Cramer at the piano, that
was listening to radio concert. No
reflection because the greatest
artists are now heard on the air.
I consider Bomar Cramer one Of
the most intelligent and at the same
time a wonderful artist from the
standpoint of technique, among the
younger artists. Was told that
Cramer has been i'll and that
explains a certain nervousness which
l noticed And yet I probably
should not state that because I was
in another room and I know that
things sound differently.
I enjoyed the splendid way in
which he handled the delicate
beauty of Chopin in ten Etudes.
Here was complete mastery of the
piano and of the composer. That
one group alone was enough value
to please the hundreds of people
who were present.
I also had the thought is, a
civic shame that we do not have
civic auditorium where such great
artists as Bomar Cramer could be
presented to advantage to the artist
and to the satisfaction and comfort
Of a vast audience.
/ am finding no fault with the
Heron Art institute, am simply
recognizing the fact that the in
stitute was ten times too small yes
erday to accommodate those who
wanted to hear Cramer.

Maurice, is in her first leading part.
Frances Dee brings a grace and

Stuart Erwin gives a subdued

dumb, you know the type. o. P.
Heggie as the cafe owner and
Eugene Palette as the chef, both do
justice to their parts.
"Play Boy Of Paris" is fair enter

Lopez at times is a volcano of
cruelty and then he swings into
some periods of smart comedy re-
lief. I rather think that Huston
had a better conception of the play
than the director. Here is diff
cult play to bring to the talking
screen because there is so much
talking. Oh, there is a lot of gun
play and several pretty good chases
when the law gets after the bandit,
but so much talking precedes the
big moments on part of the minor
characters. Huston has a number
of punch lines anG his makeup is
splendid, but somehow he does not
seem to fit into the shoes of Lopez,
the Dragging but very human at
times bandit. Huston's Lopez will
kill anybody at the drop of the
hat, not to protect himself but to
bring happiness to men and women
who are in trouble. Lopez is quite
a battling character at all times.
Probably the outstanding bit of
work is done by o. P. Heggie, who
spills the beans by telling the truth
about everybody. Heggie was with
Blinn ON the stage and that of
course helps him to give a finely
drawn character of the crippled
uncle who talks himself out Of trou-
BILE and the others into trouble.
There are several good comedy
scenes especially when Lopez at
tempts to straighten out the affairs
of several love sick couples.
I admit that Huston does an in
telligent piece of acting, but to me
it doesn't seem to be just in his line.
Of course be your own judge, but
write and tell me about it.
Huston is a>good actor any place
but better in some places than
others.
Now at the Circle.

CHEvALIER BECOMES

A waiter who can sing, of all Won

rice Chevalier in "Playboy of
Paris" Rather unusual to say the
least, and a wide field for some good
comedy
And Maurice is funny in his own
way. Still there is something lack

is not the punch in this picture that
The Big Pond" contained. Some of

It might be the music. When we

Gre AMERY WAR
OF EAST SIDERS
GOES TO MAYOR
Civic Groups Cite Alleged
Violation of City
Zoning Law.

Battle of east side residents to
block the move Of the city plan
commission and the coming appeals
board to permit a creamery Of the
Benner Dairy Farms, Inc, to oper-
ate at 1O11 North Gladstone ave-
nue., a residential section, was car
ried to Mayor Reginald H. Sulli-
van today.
Letter of protest and resolution
opposing the city boards action was
sent to Sullivan and members of
the board by Sherman-Emerson
Civic League members.
The board Tuesday is to act on
a petition for use of the site for a
year after previously refusing a
permit for permanent use of the
structure.
Set Out Contentious
In the letter to Sullivan and the
board, the league members con-
tended:
The property is zoned for resi-
Dental purposes; creameries can
not be considered in residential
classification; creamery will at
tract "hordeS of flies" that will
carry disease; a smoke nuisance
will be created; stencil from sour
ing cream and other products is OBJ
jectionable; noise during the night
of milk trucks loading and unload
ing and rattle of milk bottles is not
conducive to sleep, and the use of
steam boiler and refrigeration ma
chinery will create distinct hazard
Of explosion.
Cite Purpose of Law
In closing the letter it was set
out that the creamery would lower
the neighborhood until persons
would be forced to move and that
the coming law was written to
protect districts from this sort of
imposition upon owners of resi-
Dental propert, and we believe the
coming board should uphold the law
in this case"
The leagues resolution set out
similar reasons for the opposition
to use of the site for a creamery.
