John BOles, Cinema LOthuTiO,
Gives the Press Folk a Treat.


John BOLES came to washing
a. ton yesterday-a day ahead OF
schedule - and in suite that
stretched clear across the facade of
one of this city's most notable hotels,
entertained members of the local
theatrical press to d sumptuous
lunch. Mr.. Boles, Incidentally. will
appear tomorrow and the next six

Theater He will sing some of the
songs he has made famous - and
many more that he will make famous
by singing.
This idol" OF the stage and screen,
who conquered the local public last
year when he appeared on the same
stage, proved himself, as of yore,
one Of the real two-fsted heroes of
the screen. Tall. athletically built,
sunburned with the unsynthetic sun
of Malibu Beach, Calf, Mr.. Boles
spoke more about wrestling, the real
estate question in Hollywood, the
lure Of Washington and the noise Of
New York than he did about himself
and the talkies. When questioned
he admitted that he had just fin
ished Seed" the perturbation of

lunch with scarcely a mention of
himself, Mr.. Boles, with consid-
cradle urging. obliged by singing
two or three songs. This was the
especial high spot of a pleasant
early afternoon. "One Alone" and
suchlike romantic ditties we're sung
with the true feeling that few sing

hope to rival.

novels; neither are they all villains,
nor does one have to meet the right
person and find out that they aren't
what they seem, and go home with
a feeling that chop suey is really the
best dish Of them all.
The excuse for this film, which Is
far from a strong one, is to give
william Powell, one Of the smoother
bad men" of the screen, chance
to dabble a little in the game OF
bribery and extortion, and to have
him fall in love with Carole Lon-
baritone of the real blonde beauties
in and about Hollywood. Unfor-
tunately the sequences. move along
at snail's pace. And there Is not
so much as a near climax in the
entire picture. The dialogue sounds
like talk in a second-rate novel
and the characters, except for Guy
Kibbe, as the susceptible Uncle,
about as believable as AL Jolson
playing Alice in Wonderland.
Mr.. Powell, who takes his time
with every syllable until one wants
to shake him, is seen as an eX-
newspaper man, who lives very COM
fortably in Paris, printing a scandal
sheet and getting money out OF
people by warning them tif the bride
is large enough what may or may
not be printed When he meets the
right girl, of course, he wants to quit
the whole business. But that, like
every racketeering venture, is not SO
easy. He can't. And he doesn't. In
stead he is shooed away from Paris
by the local police. while the heroine
goes back to Pittsburgh and becomes
the wife of a normal American.
For the first time in perhaps
decade Mr.. Powell seems not effec-
tive in his role. The others, in spite
of the awkwsrdness of their lines,
get along adequately. Carole Lom-
bard dons new and prettier hat at
every step. Lawrence Grey smiles
the way he has in every picture,
Wynne Gibson should do very well
in something with more sense to 1t,
and Guy Kibbe is the best thing in
the whole long and insincere bust
ness.
