BartheImess Stars
In Earle Film

Heroes for sale," this weeks
screen feature at the Earle, is an
other instance of the use of cur
rent conditions, both social and
economic, to provide a running
background for the fiction of the
film. In this particular film, the
majority of the popular issues of
the day, beginning with the war
and running the gamut Of its
effects, have been incorporated in
a portrayal of moral theme Of
hope and faith in the future Of
the country.
Richard Barthelmess finds him.
self perfectly at home as the un-
sung hero. who in the war does
the work while others get unde-
served medals, and who continues
taking the "buck" until he be-
comes a self-inflicted forgotten
man devoting his fortune to char
ity. The role on the whole is just
a bit too heroic for popular taste.
Aline MacMahon contributes a
splendid performance in a role
which borders more on tragedy
than the usual comics expected
of her. Loretta Young is as
lovely as ever. though her role
from a dramatic standpoint is
unimportant. Gordon Westcott,
and Robert Barrat serve in
minor roles.
With Johnny Perkins mastering
the ceremonies with his rapid
fire monologue, the stage show
bursts forth with a Fourth of
July celebration of song and
dance. The Arnaut Brothers
score in their familiar clowning
and novel bird act. Ruth Petty,
an attractive blues singer: Betty
and Tom Wonder in some whirl-
wind dance action and the Hoff-
man Girls provide a full and
fast hour of entertainment. And
incidentally, the Merrie Melodies
cartoon is worth almost the price

Riddles Days "
Are Popular

Now that school days are ad-
journed and summer is Off
cially here, many parents are TAX
ing their children on the Wilson
Line trips to Mt. Vernon and new
Marshall Hall Park. With the
natural love that all children
have for a boat trip, it is little
wonder that the modern steamer,
City of Washington, carries hun
dreds daily up and down the
Potomac River.
Mondays have again been desig-
mated as Riddles Day on the
Wilson Line and every Monday
from now on the rates will be
cut in half to Marshall Hall Park
on the $50 and 1870 boats. Moth
ers, especially, enjoy these restful
trips because they know that on
the City of Washington trained
watchmen are constantly looking
after their rowing children.

Jean Harlow in
Love Picture
At Palace

The talents of Sam Wood, di-
rector, Anita Loos, author, and
Jean Harlow and Clark Gable,
stars, have been combined by
GMG to make a sizzling drama of
love, crime and the reform school.
Hold Your Man." a revamp-
ing of an old formula, is the story
Of Ruby, girl Of no particular
occupation, and Eddie, who re-
fuses to work with his brain while
his fingers are nimble. From their
first meeting, it's all over for both
Of them but, theusail sentence for
Eddie kills a man (unintentionally
but completely and runs away,
but they get Ruby and Ruby gets
two years.
Eddie hears, by questionable
methods, Of Ruby's distress and
comes through with a minister
and a delayed IT do" and then
goes to Sing Sing. Eventually
they make their peace with the
law and we seen them Cincinnati
bound to settle down to the
straight and narrow.
The work of Jean CPlatinum)
Harlow is on the upgrade, she
actually seems sincere in this
latest effort; and there is one
sequence in which she forgets
and lives her role. Clark Gable
grins out of the corner Of his
mouth, rants around in true (and
expected) Gable fashion, over
doing a very delicate scene in
which he pleads with a colored
minister. The stars are sup
ported by string Of names
which speak for themselves:
Stuart Erwin, Dorothy Burgess,
Elizabeth Patterson, Blanche
F'rederici and Theresa Harris.
Shorts include an Andy Clark
comic, Hearst Metrotone News
and a day with the circus, peek
behind the scenes at the Ringing
Brothers winter quarters.

A LoWIy Clerk

Mr.. Smiths job called for $40
a week. He was a clerk-and
a very lowly one at that. He
was soon the butt of every Of
flee joke. They abused him and
they laughed at him. But what
could the man do?
He needed that $40 a week
and he needed it badly. He
had wound up in the gutter at
New Orleans and he had a
horror of the same thing in
New York. The urge for liquor
was strong with him. But he
avoided it like a plague.
His firm, he knew, was prac-
t.cing just within the law. The
two gentlemen at the head of
the concern were, to all intents
and purposes, very moral and
upright citizens.
But, deep in their hearts,
+'ev wer absolute phNnies.
They knew very little about law
and they recognized in Mr..
Smith more knowledge than
both Of them had together. AS
If they were doing him favor,
they asked his opinion on Ger.
tain cases. And they quoted
his replies to clients as though
they, themselves, had consid-
cred the matters carefully.
He entered the office one
morning with his mind made
up. He was going to ask for
a raise. After all, hadn't the
bosses asked him many ques-
ton? Hadn't he given them
opinions that they, themselves,
had quoted?
He walked into the office
that was occupied by one Of
the partners. And he star"
mered out the fact that he
The Washington times., 1933-07-01

exacting role which has come her
way since stardom. 1t is clev-
erly etched portrait of girl who
makes the innate fineness in her
character triumph over a series
of misfortunes which would wreck
the ordinary life. Miss Young
in MARY" is always an appeal
ing figure.
Franchot Tone, newest of the
Hollywood favorites, turns in a
good score as the young lawyer
and Ricardo Cortez plays suave
but cruel villain. Una Markell,
Warren Hymer. Frank Conroy,
Charles Grapewin and Mike Den
lin have the other important
roles. In makeup and costume
treatment this is new Loretta
Young and I think the women
fans will like the change.
Good Stage Show
The best tribute I can pay
to Pat Rooney's act is to say
that I have reviewed it a score
of times and I still enjoy it. It
opens to the familiar strains of
daughter of Rosie O'Grady" and
goes through all the characteris-
tic nimbie Rooney stepping with
little comedy while he's catching
his breath. Young Pat is a big
help and is gradually absorbing
some of Pops showmanship.
Medley and Dupree have a
mad hodge podge of laughs. Joe
Morris and Dorothy Ryan add to
the days fun with a nonsense
sketch and the Paul Remos mid
gets blend acrobatics and comedy.
In fact, it's all a laugh show at
the Fox this week.
Hitler dominates the Movietone
news reel to mingled Kisses and
applause and Phil Lampkin has
an overture that needs only a
few firecrackers to make it a
real Fourth of July celebration.

"Whot Price Innocence?" Queries
Willard Mack at Keith's
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

by ANDNEW II. hELAEI
That sturdy master of literature
and the dramatic arts, Willard
Mack, uses the RKO Keith screen
this week to expound moral les
son and to show how he can
write. act and direct a picture.
must report that I enjoyed
my two-hour session with What
Price Innocence?" even in those
moments when Author Mack was
delivering his hygienic propa-
ganda and warning parents about
the solemn duty Of educating
their offspring on the facts Of
life.
What Author Mack portrays in
his story is middle-class family
with an adolescent son and
daughter. The boy is interested
in democracy and Mussolini.
Mamma is a whining neurotic who
figures her children are too well
bred to do anything common.
Ruth is a sensitive girl who longs
for understanding from her
mother, but is always told to hush
up when she seeks advice on love.
Papa is an easy-golng, henpecked
mate, satisfied if he can break
80 on the golf links.
Ruth gets in trouble and only
the kindly doctor is able to COM
fort her. But his sympathy is
not enough, and so she ends it
all in a country pond. Author
Mack thinks the mother is to
blame for not instructing the
child and guiding her through
life's perplexing passages.
What Price Innocence?" is a
well-acted picture with Willard
Mack drawing the choicest role,
that of the country doctor. His
medico Is human and tender and
voices good com mon sense
whenever he speaks. AS a di-
rector, Mr.. Mack submits a touch
of symbolism with his cat-and-
canary parallel.
It is as an author that I find
Mr.. Mack faltering. He has over
drawn his portrait of a thought
less mother to the point where
she is stupid in her smugness and
irritating in the assured attitude
she assumes toward her daugh-
ter. That grand trouper, Minna
Gombell, takes this character and
makes her so disagreeable and
cold it registers as a distortion.
The daughter, too, is so naively
innocent she is hard to swallow
as credible. Jean Parker, dandy
little ingenue who knows how to
emote, plays the child who meets
a tragic end about as good as
any young actress who comes
readily to mind. Ben Alexander,
Bryant Washburn and Louise
Beavers have the other important
roles.
On the supplementary program
is a Lambs Gambol skit, THE
Poor Fish," with the rubber
legged Leon Enrol injecting his
alcoholic humors and Lynn Over
man all dressed up as a mas
querading husSy. It has its funny
moments. The Pathe news reel
and a cartoon comedy complete
the program.

Smith," he said harshly, "I
think yoI have an unparalleled
nerve. You asking for more
money!
Il want you to understand
something. You're more or
less an object of charity around
here.
Instead of asking for more
money, you ought to be dowr
on your knees and thanking me
for my generosity. Now, get
out of here"
Goes on a Bat
Mr.. Smith backed out of the
office. He didn't go back to
his desk, however. He went
around the corner and took his
first drink in a long time.
Within an hour he was as drunk
as a fool.
Shortly after 3 o'clock that
afternoon Mr.. Smith staggered
into his office. But it was a
different Mr.. Smith. He seized
the sarcastic office boy by the
chin and hurled him against
the wall. He picked up a telc,
phone book and tossed it at
the phone girls head. And he
staggered into the boss office
and slammed the door.
Listen, you," he muttered.
I'm no dog. You get me? You
talked to me this mornin' like
I was a dirty dog, but I'm not,
See? You're the one that'sh

1t. I'm blazin' drunk. But ,ou're
the one that got ..le thish way.
And you're gonna listen to me-
The distinguished attorney
attempted to rise. A shove from
Mr.. Smith sent him spinning
half way across the room.
you're no lawyer, mister. I
know more in my little finger
than you and your partner
know altogether. And you treat
me like a dog. You! Where'd
you get that stuff from?"
Pretty soon the Superintend.
ent came in. And the partner.
And four or five other men.
They did not want to call the
police. 1t wouldn't have been
good policy.
Among them they tossed Mr..
Smith into the gutter. His fa-
vorite resting spot.
And this, suppose, should be
the end of the story. but it so
happens that it's not. That
drunk did not carry Mr.. Smith
to the Bellevue alcoholic ward.
1t gave him his courage back
instead. A day later, for the
first time since he arrived in
New York, he looked around
for a better job. And he found
one.
He's earning $75 a week now.
And he's happy.
It's funny how those thirgs
happen. One more good bat
and Les liable to wind up in
Congress.

The Washington times., 1933-07-01

Andrew. Il. Kelley wrote the story
which is told on the screen by
the flashback method. Mary
Martin is the girl, and as the pic
ture opens she is on trial for the
murder of an underworld gang
ster. AS she waits for the jury
to come in she muses. over her
unhappy life and the incidents
which led up to the tragedy are
portrayed.
Mary was one of those girls
who tried hard to go straight but
fate was always against her.
When Leo of the underworld
shows her a life of crime is
easier than looking for a job,
Mary takes the first false step.
But she is always unhappy, and
when an opportunity comes for
her to go straight accepts the as
sistance of young lawyer. Right
here her past comes up to tor
ment her, and rather than squeal
on her old pals she goes to the
penitentiary. Released, she tries
again to follow the road to recti-
tude, but Leo turns up and in
the end she kills him. 1t is her
loyal lawyer friend who works out
the happy ending.
