loved of the waterfront, hard
working, big-hearted Annie who
took her man for better or worse
and didn't squaWk when the tides
turned against her.
Norman Reilly Raines has made
a remarkable character study Of
the woman grown old before her
years, hardened by her struggle
against the sea and yet loving
that old tugboat second only to
her child. Drink made a weak
companion of her husband, and
their fate was in the hands Of
Annie, who ran the boat as a first
class skipper, tore her heart out
to see that her boy found his place
in the sun and took her mite Of
glory in his accomplishments. .,-
There is humor and pathos,
heart breaks and homely good-fun
in the play which Mervyn Leroy
has brought to the screen by lhi1
directorial ability. .
Marie Dressler and W.,
Beery, now billed as AmG "a,
SWeethearts, do not repeat their
success of Min and Bill' but give
more than enough to compensate
their devoted followers.
Marie lives her character, as
she always does, the grand
trouper she is, but ones impress
sion is that she is working too
hard, the effort is too great, she
is entitled to a more gentle mode
of expression. Wallace Beery is
the sh a m b in g, good-natured
creature Mr.. RaineS intended
Terry to be while Robert Young,
coming along rapidly these days,
and the fresh-sparkling Maureen

Adds Thrills
to Thrills
By GEORGE SPELVIN

The Warner Brothers and their
Earle Theater are doing right well
by the public this week, with a
good stage show, strong, we'll
constructed picture, and some re-
markably fine subsidiary attrac-
tions. Don't think you've seen the
whole bill when you've witnessed
the vaudeville and the feature.
There's plenty more, and all good.
William Powell is the luminary
in Private Detective g." which
tells the story of super-Sleuth
who, mixing in foreign affairs,
gets his fingers burned. Having
gotten in too deep, he can't be
reinstated in his confidential job,
and, reduced to desperate straits,
he muscles into a job in a mort
bund private detective agency.
Thanks to luck and a rack
eteering connection, things begin
to hum, and the agency soon
moves uptown. Powell, as Donald
Free, has some ethics about the
business, but his partner, getting
easy money for the first time,
has none. Then come the real
thrills, with gambling for high
stakes, killing. and more crimes
as an attempt to cover up.
1t will be most conducive to
the enjoyment of the picture not
to have too close an acquaintance
with the plot, but there's a happy
ending, with the villains getting
their just deserts and Free and the
girl, played by Margaret Lindsay,
working out their romance in due
course.
Natalie Moorhead returns to the
screen after long absence. Ar
thur Hohl and Gordon Westcott
are Grade A villains, though the
formers transformation from
drunken bum is a bit surprising.
Ruth Donnelly comes near steal
ing the picture with neat char
acterization.
Vaughn de Leath, radio song
stress, heads the vaudeville bill,
which also features Walter Dare
Wahl and his new partner, Emmett
Oldfield, in unique acrobatics and
comedy. Frank Gaby and
stoogie sing and clown, and
Johnny Pastime and his Dancing
Sweethearts offer an act of grace
and charm.
Richly Craig, jr.. offers another
amusing nut comedy, dealing with
his adventures in a movie studio.
but after "Once in Lifetime"
one is tempted to believe that
anything can happen there. An
other Bobby Jones golf feature,
How to Break co." is on the
program, and the news reel shows
Cuban shootings, the new dy-
maxion automobile, the big dam
in Czechoslovakia and other pic
lures of what's going on.
Maxine Doyle and Ere dy
Clark's BUTTERFLY overture round
out a we'll balanced bill.

Love in Tropics
Seen at Met

The poise and ease of Douglas
Fairbanks, jr., have served him
better in vehicles other than the
film translation of w. Somerset
Maugham's "The Narrow Cor
ner," which finds it's way to the
screen of the Metropolitan this
week.
The role of the harrassed Fred
Blake, taking to the high seas
under the guardianship of an un-
savory captain of pearling YES
sci to escape the consequences OF
a murder and the unWelcome at
tentions of a married woman
goes beyond the scope of the
genial Doug, jr's ability.
However, the film presents q
splendid opportunity for Dudley
Digges, Reginald owen and
Arthur Hohl to indulge in an un-
usual display of character studies
and for Ralph Bellamy to exer
else his very dependable facili-
ties. Digges as DR.. Saunders, a
reprebate philosopher and opium
smoker has the richer part but
we found that Mr.. owen in the
few brief and delightful moments
he was on the screen almost over
shadowed his past performances
Though the picture would moi
be classed under the heading o1
action it produces an illusion Of
fast motion through the rapid
sequence of events and the in
lection of storm at sea. Its con
clusion, too, carries through ir
this respect, with Fred's daring
race for freedom through the
treacherous reefs which guard the
island harbor.
No. film could wholly fail to in
terest when it places diversity
of characters in a place apart
from outside influences, away
from the rest of the world anc
lets the course of events involve
them all.
Subsidiary attractions include
Russ Columbo short subject
Pathe News, and "Breakwater'
for which we saw no excuse.

ARIZONA to Broadway" current
film feature at the Fox, reveals
Joan Bennett and James Dunn in
q fast-moving yarn whose incon-
sistencies, such as they are, tend
to be CLOSED over by the speed OF
the action. 1t is little difficult
to get the motivation of Smiley
played by Dunn-and one Won
ders, at the finish, just how much
double-crossing he intended at
various stages in the game.
However, double = crossing, In
these days, is getting to be the
accepted thing, and possibly 1t
doesn't matter much, after all.
Smiley first appears as an adjunct
to a medicine racket. playing a
Southwest carnival. In shat ca
pacity he meets a gal, who, of
course, is Joan Bennett, and
promises to save her brother, who
has cleaned out a bank-at the
instigation of some sharpers. His
medicine show pals help out.
They out-sWindle two of the
trimmers, who are easy, and then
run up against the third. who is
tough. Eventually the story works
into gang battle at the premiere
of Broadway musical show. with
the cops coming strong at the fin
ish. The gals brother gets the
gold, Smiley gets the gal, and the
medicine show boys get the air. To
which, of course, after those wide

Love,Advertisins
In Keith's s Film

The advertising business forms
the background of mo Marriage
Ties" starring Richard Dix, and
currently at Keith's.
The picture resolves itself into
a combination of an alleged ex-
pose of shady exploitation busi-
ness and a recountal of the love-
life of it's head.
AS a newspaperman who for
gets to cover the Dempsey -Tun-
ney fight due to an inebriated
episode, and lands a job with an
advertising agency, Dix is rather
lost in a dynamic. highpressured
sort of role. Elizabeth Allen, very
British accented, plays a young
unemployed girl, who lives, in a
more or less casual way, with
Dix, until he happens across an
other lady and proposes honor
able marriage to her.
Doris Kenyon is the other side
of the triangle. who forces the
gentleman to forget his creed of
liberty in love, only to remember
it in time, and cause Doris to
exit, via a convenient window.
What was intended to be a
light comedy is rather marred by
the ponderous direction, and the
trite ending. The added mix
ture of satirical exposure of mod
ern selling methods did not ring
true.
Alan D inc h art and Hilda
Vaughn turned in excellent Incl
dental performances, and Doris
Kenyon displayed her beautiful
features in many sequences.
