AS graceful and appealing as

One outstanding feature is a
young and good looking chorus.
These girls easily eclipse their
predecessors, not only in pulchri-

the daily chores.
Another bit that was especially
we'll liked was the whistling num-

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 4.
Universal still can't make up its
mind about a long-term contract
for Genevieve Tobin, but Carl
Laemmle, jr., wants her to do at
least one more picture.
Dainty, blond Miss "obin just
fits the feminine lead in Forgive
Us Our Sins" German novel
by Max Verbacher, which Uni
verSal has just bought. If she
wants it, the role is hers and the
U has its eye on Pauline Fred,
erick for another important part.
Hobart Henley will be sitting in
the directors chair when the
picture starts.
Nothing could be more for
tunate for Miss Tobin than to
have the Chevalier picture, "One
Hour With You," released just
as she is talking contract with
Universal. Under the direction of
Ernst Lubitsch, the actress gives
what is perhaps her best screen
performance to date. If U doesn't
take up her contract, therell be
no lack of offers from other
studios.

Six Vaudeville Acts EnIiven
New Keith Proqram

Six acts of vaudeville counter
balanced by Helen Twelvetrees
on the screen gives RKO-Keith
a program of no mean proper
tions with which to start the
cherry-blossom season in Wash
ington.
The very blonde Helen-of-the-
tragic-mouth is featured (What!
no stars?) in an involved bit of
drama titled Young Bride" in
which the heroine, a nice young
girl, librarian in the Children'S
department., meets young blow
about-toWn, falls for his eXtraVa-
CANT line of chatter and marries
him; her disillusionment is
swift when, the honeymoon over
and the rose-colored glasses put
away, she finds that her young
husband has a firm belief in his
ability to talk himself into mil
lion dollars with no greater eff
fort on his part than that per
sonality-plus. After much suffer
ing and much bitterness they
make it up and the young bride
becomes just another married
woman.
ROxy's Gang Stars
Miss Twelvetrees has not pro
gressed very far in character
delineation; there is a Sameness
to her emotional scenes which
hints of limited ability; our
hopes for this young lady are
by way of being blasted. Eric
Linden and Airline Judge with
Roscoe Ates and Cliff Edwards
make up the supporting princi-
pals, amusing, mostly capable.

Fine Acting Aids
Latest Film By

Gay, smart ana lmplSnly 0e-
bonair is "One Hour With You" J."
the latest Maurice Chevalier pic
ture which has tuneful music as
an added asset, and is to be en-
joyed at the Earle Theater.
The seasoned movie-goer will
recognize this most recent of the
Ernst Lubitsch directed features
as the 1882 version of THE Mar
riage Circle" which, in the days
of the silent flickerS began the
era of what are conveniently de-
scribed as sophisticated stories.
ROlicking Mood
Light and high spirited, "One
Hour With You" is saturated
with brilliant wit and pursueS its
merry way dropping sly and deft
sex innuendoe in dialogue voiced
in rhymed couplets. The music
of Oscar Straus is an integral
part of the romantic fluff, and
has been ingeniously woven into
the screen tale.
Mons. Chevalier turns to the
picture audience occasionally to
address then on the problems he
confrontS. What would you
do?" he inquiries rouguishly, and
seems satisfied the majority
would be as wickedly frail under
temptation as he proves. The
flimSy fiction is merely that of
a Partisan doctor, his attractive
and devoted wife and their best
friend. The latter, Mitzi, tries
and partially succeeds in involv-
ing the medico in a triangular
love affair that has embarrassing
results.
Has Fine Acting
The acting of the cast is what
makes "One Hour With You"
really distinguished Celluloid.
Mons. Chevalier pushes out his
lower lip frequently to offer songs
that advance the story and are
blessed with melody and lyrical
merit. You will find grins and
chuckles and full quota of the
charm and personality which
make the French artist an actor
whose frolicking in airy trifles
of this kind is genuine delight.
Jeanette Macdonald, whose
acting is steadily improving, is a
perfect foil for the star and sings
the Straus songs with blithe
gayety. Genevieve Tobin has
never appeared to better advan-
tage on the screen than in those
moments when she is coyly en-
snaring Mons. Chevalier. The
dry wit of Roland Young and
the droll comedy of Charles Rug
giles add immeasurably to the
amusement of this classic in
light fun.

was something of a revelation
to me. I never saw so many
people who didn't want me to
travel to so many places that
so many other people had sug-

to go to Norway and another

FRENCH LACK CASH
TO BALANCE BOOKS.
Must Borrow 100000, 900
This Year, Says Retiring
Budget Official.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star
PAFNS, February 20.-After five
years Of balanced budgets France will
be forced to have recourse to loans
amounting to probably S400,000000 in
order to balance the accounts for 1882,
according to Lucien Lamoureux, re-
porter general of the budget who re-
signed Friday. On paper the budget
shows balance of $600,000 Receipts
are estimated at $1,644 100000, while
expenditures are estimated at S1,643,-
100000. But Lamoureaux points out
this does not take into account the
railroads running deficit of S1O4, ,000,-
600 for 1881, which has by law to be
made good by the government. nor of
the $l20,000,0 900 needed for the first
section of the national equipment
project, nor the estimated S176,000,000
needed to supply the treasury with
current funds pending the inflow of
tax receipts, and which, in view of
the rapid decline which the returns are
showing, will probably end by being
absorbed entirely.
Thus the momentum which Poincare
In 1925 gave to the finances of France
has gradually spent itself until the
country finds itself faced with the old
situation, neglect of which in the early
twenties led to the collapse of the
franc. Even last year the budget was
balanced only by transferring nearly
$50 100000 in expenditures from the
budget to the sinking fund-which
Poincare fondly imagined he had made
foolproof - while bond conversions
whereby the sinking fund was to be
compensated were never made.

time, even a worse situation will pre-
