'F00TLIGHT PARADE HELD
OVER FOR A SECOND WEEK
Dance Routines of Pictures Second
Half Are Marvels of
the Screen.

Dance Director Busby Berkeley, one
Of Hollywood's most original directors,
has used many unique camera angles
effectively in his routines and has
scored again in "Footlight Parade" the
latest Of the Warner Bros musical
extravaganzas, held over for a second
week at the Metropolitan.
Berkeley, when working out routines
for other musical productions, took ad-
vantage of the only one thing that
made the movie musical shows dancing
chorus stand out more effectively. He
filmed them from every possible angle,
from below, above and from the oblique.
Today when the camera angle Is no
longer new, he places his choruses in
huge swimming tanks, and instead of
using dance routine, photographs them
from above while they evolve in SYM
etrical figures.
This last bit Of originality Is used at
the end of 'Footlight Parade" which
has as plot the trials and tribulations
of a dance director who directs pro-
logues in movie houses. "Footlight Pa
rade" is not so much Of a musical as
one would expect, for the first part is
devoted almost entirely to carrying out
the plot, and it Is only at the last half
that 1t takes the semblance Of stand
ard musical. During this last part Ruby
Keeler and Dick Powell are heard and

die, If they have something to offer.
The entire detective staff Of the Fox

his wife's notion that Janet Gaynor

revealed the impoSter to be tall. dark
and slim, and quite the opposite Of
Janet Gaynor. But they did dig up
the fact that the supposer Miss Gaynor
had called at quite a few places in the
name of the star.
Then came the revelation that the
mystery calls-with cards-were being
| made by a girl employed by the local
theater running Janet Gaynor pic
ture. Every one relaxed-the poor
guy who had to make good with an
| irate wife; the studio, which felt it
had plenty of trouble coming If the
lady was not apprehended, and the
Gaynor who would rather pay her own
calls, thank you, and leave her own
calling cards The theater had found
| it a pretty expensive way of adver-
listing anyway, and were Just as glad
to call 1t of.

An attractive stage performance Is
given by the Fox, headed by Barney
Rapp and his New Englanders, with
three soloists, and the California Red
Heads, q dancing trio which Is above
the average. Other participants in the
main act are Faith Allen and Eddie
Ryan, singers, and Slim Moore, sepia
dancer. The work of this or
chestra, both in instrumental work and
singing, is well organized and effective,
with picturesque setting. Slim Timblin
puts humor into sermon based on the
city directory, while the Five Elgins are
good jugglers with hats and clubs, and
John Fogarty Is popular in songs.

headliners of the Earle stage show, dc
what no orchestra has done here fol
the past six years. They play music
so that you can recognize it, minus
the symphonic frills which have
branded other bands as egocentric show
offs. Mr.. Lombardo presents his music
with a minimum of display and q
maximum efficiency. He gets as much
sweet sound out of his saxophones as
DR.. Kinder does out of his violins. He
plays modern music without lacing il
with Tales of Hoffman" or Madame
Butterfly" and he makes even the much
overplayed Last Roundup sound
brand new. So surprised was yester-
days first audience, in fact, at the
novelty OF hearing plain music PLAYED
without any nonsense that it sat back
with the utmost satisfaction, applauded
with vigor and wouldn't let the Lom-
bardians go until they had played many

only as little as such subject needs
TO vary with each new season. 1t is,
however, smoothly acted and written
with a breeZiness that makes it a

plays the role Of famous coach, whose

Under this program, he proposes that
the Government absorb losses on ex-
ports making the difference between
the world price for wheat and the
American price, which has been 25 cents
and more a bushel higher for some time.
He believes it would be possible for
this country to offer wheat in Oriental

below domestic market prices, and that
expectation in this manner would assist
producers in this country.
