full time he is WARNER BAXTER
going to have in New York with
those yellowbackS burning a hole
in his pocket.
So he sets out in chase of the
willy outl =. But the Cisco Kid
is always just ahead of him and
Sergeant Mickey is just about
ready to give him up when fate
thrusts the outlaw in his grasp.
But then fate plays another
prank and the Cisco Kid is free
again headed for the border, re-
turning to Mexico to brighten
the lives of his sweethearts below
the Rio Grande who have been
desolate without him.
Warner Baxter is the ever
smiling Cisco Kid and Edmund
Lowe is Mickey Dunn. Both have
a way with the ladies, though the
Cisco Kid has the best of it lis
time. The girls simply can't resist
the love making of the handsome
desperate, especially Carmencita.
AS for the Cisco Kid he loves
them all but trusts not a one.
The picture is a bit slow in
getting under way and there is
somewhat too much love max
ing for a Western. Carmencita,
played by Conchita Montenegro,
has a way with her that you'll
like.

Fred Allen Tops
Trio in Gay
Revue

Anyone who saw the first ."Lit-
tie Show" during it's highly sue
cessful engagement in New York
will need no introduction to the
stars of '"Three's a Crowd" the
big musical revue which Max Cor
don will present in the National
Theater for one week beginning
Sunday night, with popular
matinee Wednesday and Satur-
day.
Clifton Webb, the suave dancer
comedian; Fred Allen. the droll
Observation-Disclosures, and
Libby Holman, the dangerous blues
singer, are together again this
year in '"Three's a Crowd"
The songs of 'Three's a Crowd"
are the work of Howard Dietz
and Arthur Schwartz, two young
writer's who wrote most of the
melodies in the first Little
Show" Mr.. Dietz, moreover, has
compiled and supervised all of his
material in Three a Crowd"
However, there are other au-
thors. Various sketches were writ
ten by Corey Ford, Newman Levy,
Groucho Marx and Fred Allen.
Hassard Short, who will always
be remembered for directing the
famous Music Box Revues, has
staged "Three's A Crowd" Al
bert johnson, who designed the
imaginative sets of Criminal
Code," has supplied the stage
designs while the costumes are
the work Of kivietts.
In addition to Mr.. Webb, Mr..
Allen, and Miss Holman, the cast
of "Three's a Crowd" includes
Tamara Geva, the dancer last
seen in "Whoopee"-the Cali
fornia Collegians, Joan Clement,
Helen Ault, Harriet Hamil, Fred
MacMurray. Percy Launders, Lou
Wood, Wally Cole, Portland
Hoffa, Allen Jones and others.

AAoV w y
''The Beloved Bachelor" is a
modernized version of Edward
Peple's stage play, "The Prince
Chap" It was done in the days
of the silent cinema by Thomas
Meighan.
FIayOred With Charm
This is one Of those stories
heavily loaded with charm but
not sufficiently charged with
bright incident or dialogue to
make it other than trite romance.
You have seen this fiction done
before, and better, in Daddy
Long Legs" and others Of the
Saccarine group.
It tells of Michael Morda,
talented sculptor, who has the
infant daughter of his model.
committed as an orphan into his
care and affection. The child
grows up into a handsome and
thoroughly lcvable young lady but
it takes the combined efforts of
the completely smitten Mitzi and
two of her step-uncles to con-
vince Michael that he has other
than a platonic interest in his
pretty ward.
Lukas Saves Role
Paul LukaS spends his dignified
talent on this transparent whimSy
and contriVeS to make it appeal
ing. I yearn for the day when
Lukas can bite into a real part
for, dialect and all, he has what
it takes to make a great actor.
Charlie Ruggles adds another
chapter to his alcoholic humors,
not quite as effective as his earlier
portraits because he deals al
together in mechanical dialogue.
Dorothy jordan is the attractive
ingenue and skps gaily through
q light part.
Good Dancing Team
On the stage in an adagio rou-
tine by Adler and Bradford which
is about the last word in exciting
tossing about of a Shapely siren.
The Trado twins offer their eccen-
trio comedy and dancing, the
acrobatics with Sylvia Miller and
Lee Barton Evans attending to
the vocal numbers. The revue is
beautifully costumed and lighted
to set off a group of Chester Hale
girls to the best effect.
The HearSt-Metrotone news has
some interesting library shots of
Thomas A. Edison besides the
usual fine topical views. A Hokum
short full of antique comedy and
Harry Borje's band in "A River
Symposium" completes a diversi-
fled program.
The Washington times., 1931-10-24

From the lurid stories of the
press and from the squeamish
tales of murder mystery horrors
comes a new and delightful COM
bination Of both in "A Danger
GUS Affair."" which opened last
night at R-K-O Keith's.
Exciting Narrative
It's all very well, you know.
for an enterprising young re-
porter to cook up news but
when one young man working
on a dead" beat tries to stir
up exciting tales for his sheet,
there are thefts, abductions and
murders - and incidentally an
amour.
Ralph Graves and Jack Holt
play in a team again and this
time they outdo themselves.
Ralph Graves, as a heretofore
indolent reporter and latterly a
star who scoops all the papers
in town with his wild idea of
cooking up a story. couldn't have
been better. He knows just when
to be scared of ghosts and just
when to laugh.
Holt As A Copper
His partner, Jack Holt, usually
the two-fisted hero, loses a bit
of his former braggadacio and
looms forth as a hard-poiled cop
per-needing something exciting
to happen in his territory-and
getting it.
Sally Blame, the heart interest,
does a rather good piece of act
ing. The supporting cast, some
of whom are murdered and some
of whom remain to be caught in
the claws of the law, is excellent.
