Radio to Supplement
Work of Teacher, Says
Miss Bertha Palmer

Although education by radio never
will supplant the classroom teacher.
1t does offer her the help Of special
lists in some subjects and should be
coordinated with classroom work.
Miss Bertha Palmer, state superin-
tendent Of public instruction, said In
a radio address over KFYR last night.
Commenting on the first education
al program, broadcast last night
from six North Dakota stations, Miss
Palmer asked that schools now
equipped with radios notify her. Civ
ing information as to their equip
ment. Her idea is not to ask school
boards to buy receiving sets, she said,
but to offer educational programs 1t
times when they can be heard to ad-
vantage by children. Later, when
worth while programs are assured, 1t
might be in step with the times to in
stall radios in the schools, Miss Pal
mel said.
Recounting the progress Of radio
education, Miss Palmer said schools

HAS
FUN FROLIC
AT GAYETY

At the Gayety this week,
"FrivolitieS," with Frank Har-
court and Adeline, keeps up
the high standard of Mutual
attractions.
Adeline is billed as The
dancing sensation" and her
dancing is only exceeded by
her beauty.
Frank Harcourt's comedy is
prominent throughout the snow.
When he can't create laughs
with his lines, he draws them
with his actions. The produc-
ton was not lacking in good
singing, either. as it had in the
Frivolity Four, an unusually
good quartet. whose efforts che
audience appreciated to such
an extent that the applause
subsidized only after the next
scene was well under way.
James Hall and C. B. Hay
worth, in a speciality song,
made the house ring with
laughter. They also lent able
support to Mr.. Harcourt IN his
skits. The chorus was good
looking and peppy.

challenge the elder drama is
some of its filigree, Satirical
moods.
The point is that Devil May
Care" might easily be a mere
romantic chrome, movieized ac-
cording to a well-rutted for
mula. But it is not that. 1t
is a nineteenth century French
comedy by Eugene Scribe, in
which the quaint flavor of the
original has been retained with
real literary skill by those who
have adapted it. It is a SWaSh-
buckling tale of BonapartiSt
days, but all it's episodes are
done Ing the mood of non
chalant, insouciant make-be-
lieve. Even the love-making
seems to be in lavender; Ramon
Novarrosfor once is no Sheik of
commanding passion: he wins
his lady with Gallo wit and
gallantry, with airy graces
which seem, at times, to be
alien to his true dramatic style.
The action is sloW-paced, but
elf-assured; the story unfolds
with leisurely grace. and both
the acting and the direction
are exactly fitted to it's mood.
The songs are injected some
what arbitrarily, but this is
easily forgiven, inaSmuch as
Devil May Care" is always
threatening to invade the field
of Operetta. Novarro sings
well, but without real inSpira-
ton; the real singer of the
film is that expert manlcurist
OF sentimental melodies, Marion
Harris, whose work throughout
stands out brilliantly. Dorothy
Jordan, in the ingenue role, de-
serves honorable mention.
There are Albertina Rasch
dancers in a wind-up techni-
color ballet, charming and
colorful, and there is camera
work which is replete with
striking shots" and ocular sur
priSes. There are several
glimpses of the great Napoleon

ing lady in Welcome Danger"
as the lovable and sweet heroine.
The story is somewhat remi-
niScent OF the much more am
bilious production, Gentlemen
OF the Press" in that It deals
with the fatal flame possessed
by those who dedicate their life
dreams to the dailies. but here
the comparison ends. Night
Ride" was conceived solely to
make little boys hair stand on
end, and big boys forget their
daily duties.
The continuous excitement
begins when Joe stops by the
office to collect his best man.
and becomes SO engrossed in
discussing the profession he IS
late for his wedding. During
the ceremony a seventh news
sense feels a break and when a
telephone rings he forgetS to
say Il do" 1t is a break, and
the bridegroom, blushing with
"preSSitiS, daSheS to the scene
OF bloody bank robbery. Joe
risks everything to give his
paper the facts and promptly
finds himself caught in a ter
rifying trap.
This somewhat hackneyed
plot is lifted from the mediocre
by the fine acting of the ex-
perienced players. and there are
moments when the most blase
will respond to the stirring
intensity OF Schildkraut's emo
tionS. This handsome Austrian
actor can love with saccharine
sweetness, or hate to the point
OF varicoSe veins, both of which
he does, adding considerable
laurels to his Don Juan fame.
Beautiful Barbara Kent makes
a charming sweetheart and Ed
ward G.. Robinson an extremely
leering and loathsome gangster.
A Universal news reel accom-
panied by the popular voice of
Graham McNamee. two singing
novelties, an absurdly funny
comedy and a short orchestra
overture, enjoyed in the pleas
ing atmosphere of the spacious
Rialto Theater, form the sub
Sidiaries of this extremely lively
program.

Sally" Is Held For a
Second Week at Earle

Sally" is back in our alley,
and judging from the large
crowds which necessitated the
retention of the picture by the
Earle for the second week, she's
as popular with the "old gang"
as she was in the days when
four out of every five songs
had something about Sally in
their lyrics.
Marvellous Marilyn Miller, the
dancing heroine of the picture,
captures the hearts of the au-
dlence, just as she did a few
years back when she had the
title role in the stage offering.
The film is in. natural color
from start to finish and unlike
some color pictures, does not
tire the eye.
In spite of the Cinderella
theme, the show is sprightly
and refreshing through h out.
Sally. a waitress with an Unborn
tendency to dance, keeps smil-
ing in spite of her bad breaks;
luck can't always be bad, she
learns from Blair Farrell, a
rich youth, played by Alexander
Gray. He sings with a rich
voice and convinces her that
she should Look for the Silver
Lining" Miss Miller also dis
plays a good voice in wild
Rose" and If I'm Dreaming,
Don't Wake Me Too Soon."
There's plenty of comedy,
handled by Joe E. Brown. Ford

WILD ANIMAL
FEATURE AT
NATIONAL

Be in your seat when Across
the World With Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin johnson" starts at the
National Theater this week and
you will witness a most inter
esting adventure with history of
a past as contraSted with the
present, via the screen.
The Introductory reel is called
"Today-and Yesterday" and
the antique shots of McKinley's
Inauguration and the Wrigths
first public flight are among
the graphic films from the past
that command attention and
interest.
Accompanied on part of their
trip by three Boy Scouts, these
famous explorers and animal
hunters have turned on an in
teresting and unique production.
While some of the shots have
been seen in some Of their
other pictures. this production
incorporates the choice scenes
from past productions and in
addition offers a world of new
material that is both entertain
ing and interesting, even If it
is at times little revolving.
There are moments in the pic
ture that are thrilling. others
that are vastly instructive, and
others. while abhorrent in the
showing of the savage habits
of the strange people of these
strange lands. are thoroughly
absorbing. Mr.. and Mrs. John
son are animal hunters with
the camera rather than with
the gun, never shooting unless
it is for self-protection.
The party first visits the
Solomon Islands, where we meet
the cowardly head hunters.
Then on the Langa Langa
lagoon with it's devil-devil wor-
shippers, where we witness one
of their odd religious cere-
monies. On to the pygmy land,
and then to the New Hebrides
with its numerous ferocious
savages, said to be cannibalistic
and they certainly look it.
Through the Big Numbers Ter
ritory, where we meet the
monkey people.
The second half of the pic
ture is taken up with the ami
NAL scenes. Crossing the In
dian ocean. the party sails
down the Victoria Nile to Mid
die Africa, where there are
numerous interesting shots of
crocodiles, elephants. white
rhinoceros, giraffes. zebras, ga
ZelleS. cheeterS and. lastly lions,
which are caught devouring
their prey, which had been
planted so that the camera
could catch them in closeups.
Mrs. johnson is forced to kill
a couple of lions, while her hus-
band slaps a charging rhino. a
few feet from the camera. This
latter part of the trip is made
together with the three Boy
Scouts-Robert Douglas, jr.,
Douglas L. Oliver and David R.
Martin, jr.
The picture has been syn
chronized with an interesting
talk by Mr.. johnson, and a
slight continuity thread is run
through the various travel reels.
Intermission is filled with
personal appearance by Robert
Dick Douglas, now sophomore
at Georgetown College and one
of the youths who made the trip
into the African jungle last
summer. He makes a descrip-
lion of personal contact with
the King of Beasts, a vivid and
exciting narrative.

FOX FEATURE
ABOUNDS IN
LAUGHS

Harmony At Home" a de.
lightfully wholesome and real
istic portrayal of family life.
is the current screen attraction
at the Fox Theater. Because it
is so fundamentally picture
of the home life which most
of us can appreciate from ex-
perience, Harmony At Home"
quite naturally provides fasci-
mating entertainment. The
Movietone adaptation is from
Harry Delf's stage comedy sue
cess, THE Family Upstairs"
and it is enacted with the ut
most vim and effectiveness.
The veteran actor, William
Collier, ST., Joe Haller, the new"
superintendent at the mill and
erStWhile head of the house, is
superb. Many are the laughs
he gets in his efforts to pre-
serve harmony and many are
the SighS as he so frequently
shows the very human under
standing in difficult situations.
Though the show is his from
start to finish, the supporting
caste is particularly delightful.
Marguerite Churchill is a sweet
and charming daughter, Louise,
who sacrifices her opportunity
for enjoying the company of
masculine friends because her
ambitious mother always starts
right in marrying her off to
every eligible man who enters
the door. Elizabeth Patterson
is splendid as the mother,
though she does at times overdo
the thing. The same holds for
the younger sister, but these
are very minor criticisms.
Charles Eaton, the youthful son
OF the family is fine and some
OF the scenes between the
father and the boy afford the
most amusing bits of the play.
Rex Bell is satisfactory as the
Suitor and Dixie Lee and Dot
Farley are likewise adequate in
lesser roles.
HARMONY at Home" aho,,pde
in rich humor and laughter
provoking episodes. UnQuali-
tledly it is recommended for
young and old. as one of the
most sincere and refreshing
pictures of the year.
The stage show, too, is one
that appeals not only to chill
dren but to grown folk. In fact,
the whole family may find de-
Sirable entertainment at the
Fox this week. Fanchon g.

Leon BruSilof has arranged a
