The simple happiness, hard
wrought and eagerly guarded, of
the countless thousands of New
York's east side is the basis of a
story which played the stage as
successful drama under the title
"Mendel, Inc" but which takes
1.-The Heart of New York" as a
title for cinematic purposes.
Mervyn Leroy has taken this
piece and made a screen play
which has the essentials of good
screen entertainment and if there
seems a strong suggestion of "Hu-
moresque," I'VE Americans" and
other stories of the street mer.

this similarity to authenticity Of

Mendel Is an easy going man,
content to let his family take life
as they see it while he works on
inventions destined to save labor.
He hands out proverbs rather than
the necessary rent money and
finds financial backing in a JAM

Appealing Story
About Town S
Bad Boy

Flaming youth had its day in
filmdom and then grew up to prob
lens of divorce, depression and
prohibition. In the quick and
painful rush to maturity a new
generation was trampled to obliv-
ion. Young America" does not
bespeak a new era in movie circles
but it has brought to light the i'm
portant, if neglected, juvenile in
an appealing story of 1.-The worst
boy in town"
Young Art Simpson CTommy
Conlon), is always wrong. If he
does one thing he gets a beating
and if he doesn't he gets worse
one. Due to a habit of moving
cars other than his own, from
the vicinity of fire plugs, he is
brought to the attention Of the
juvenile court. Judge Blake,
(Ralph Bellamy), has a rare I'M
derstanding of boyhood and dis
misses the case against Art. But
trouble follows in his footsteps
and he is again apprehended
when he breaks into a drug store
to procure medicine for Grandma
BeamiSh, the grandmother of his
best friend. Having attracted the
interest of Mrs. Doray, Doris
Keryon), she offers to act as his
guardian when he is placed on
probation for his miSdemeanorS.
Al realizes that he is causing a
rift between his guardian and her
husband, Spencer Tracy, and
leaves only to become instrument
tai in saving the husbands life.
His heroic action reinStateS him
in their home, an adopted son.
COnIOn Is Star
Tommy Conlon takes the honors
of the picture. This handsome
boy, with his naturalness and
charm, left a few damp eyes in
his audience and stirred a ma
ternal instinct. The male re-
action cannot be vouched for.

as usual, with his dry speech and

of note in the cast are Beryl
Mercer, Doris Kenyon, and Sarah
Padden.
On the stage Fanchon and
Marcho present Greetings" Idea,
with Phil Lampkin starting the
festivities with his exuberant di-
rection of the overture. Del Chain
takes the stand and, with his
nonsensical monologue, serves as
master of ceremonies. The Col

Griffith, adagio dancers, and
Dorothy Theme unite in a pleas

Buster and Brown and their

Kedroff Quartet to
Sing Here, April 20

There are few stories in the
artistic world today that outrival
the true tragic background of the
famous Kedroff quartet of Rus
sian singers, now on it's farewell
tour in America, which will ap-
pear in concert here, Friday after
noon, April 20, at 4:40 o'clock in
the National Theater, under the
auspices of the Community Insti-
tute of Washington.
During the Russian revolution,
Nicholas Kedroff. the founder of
the quartet, was arrested for read
ing a poem in opposition to the
Bolshevik movement, but the trial,
repeated the poem so dramatical-
ly that the court became utterly
absorbed in it and released him

Great Cast in
Movie

If you like clever, amusing com.
edy, with spicy continental
flavor, This Is the Night" will
suit your taste perfectly. Of it's
type, it is the most entertaining
picture we have had locally, in
this reviewers opinion, since the
tremendously successful Monte
Carlo"-not even excepting the
most recent Chevalier hit.
Good Direction
Frank Tuttle has done a SUI
perb job of direction for this
film, which, in case anyone
should ask you, is at the Column
bia. 1t cannot escape comparison
with LubitSch for the impression
one gets on seeing the story un-
fold is that it is absolutely a
LubitSch yarn. In fact, it is
talkie version of the stage hit
Naughty Cinderella" in which
Irene Bordoni appeared some
seasons ago, and vastly better
job than that same stage version
from every point of view.
The story is not in the least
unusual. A young wife falls in
love with another man while
hubby is away, and when hubby
returns. the third angle of the tri-
angle has to produce a wife
pronto-and she has to be so
fascinating as to make any out
side interests on his part incred-
ible.
Excellent Cast
Roland Young is the Other
Man, Thelma TODD the beauti-
full but undutiful wife; Cary
Grant the wronged husband and
Lily Damita the naughty Cinder-
ella" Charles Ruggles plays the
role of Greek chorus, best friend
to all concerned. drinking COM
parion, gondola-jaunt promoter
and what have you.
A great cast, a corking good
picture, and a superb job of
direction. But if you want to
see the villain thrown off the
cliff, and he-men riding and
shooting, this is not the idea.
Nearer to that general program,
in fact, is the Laurel and Hardy
comedy on the current bill-a hi
larious story of the attempt to
clean up a house after a rough
party and before the wife gets
home. 1t can better be seen than
described. The newSreel and some
ideas on trout fishing round out.

But if you WON'T guess you
won't. Good-by, kid, and thanks
a million times"
He shook hands with both
the actor and the press agent.
He walked rapidly away, turned
the corner and disappeared.
The publicity man hailed a
passing cab by a shrill whistle.
TOO bad about that fellow"
the star confided as they
climbed into the machine. HE
really was a good guy in days
gone by.
Funny way of making a
touch though, wasn't it? He
didn't have to hand me all
that hokum about suicide. He
was beginning to sound like
a Hellinger column. I would
have given him the money
without all that.
. The publicity man tossed in
few words. And high time,
too.
Say" he offered, don't you
think he might be on the level
about that suicide? He didn't
sound any too cheerful to me-"
Not a chance" retorted the
actor rapidly. "Old j B
