Deep-Sea Thrills
In Picture at
Keith's

A story about $5,000,000 in
gold bullion on the floor of the
ocean and how a hard-boiled deep
sea diver plotted to get it and
live the life of Riley, is what
Below the Sea-" new RKO- Keith
picture offers.
It's a 10 Swerling fiction, fash,
ioned for Columbia pictures with
Ralph Bellamy and Fay Wray
featured. Mr.. Swerling writes
credible dialogue and knows the
value of love threads in his
screen yarns and so Below the
Sea" makes excellent entertain
ment even though you realize
early that the sur1y young sea
dog is eventually going to land
the society girl.
UnderSea Fortune
The plot begins back in 1917
when one of the German U-boats
with a rich load of the yellow
metal is sunk after a brush
with a camouflaged schooner.
Two men escape from the sub
marine before the craft is
swallowed up by the sea and one,
being an avaricious fellow, charts
the location of the derelict and
then pushes his companion over
a ledge.
The German sailor then plans
to salvage the sunken fortune.
He enlists Steve McCreary (Ralph
Bellamy), a deep sea diver with
courage and daring, hoping to
double-cross him out of his share
of the loot.
The first salvaging excursion
goes amiSs when the adventure
ship founders. Then the schemers
ally with a group of oceanic
scientists financed by a society
girl Gay 7Vray) and equipped
with every device for deep sea ex-
ploring. There is quite bit of
excitement and some graphic
marine shots before the voyage
ends with the ship pointed to-
wards home port-without the
gold.
Excellent Shorts
"Below the Sea-" has some
fascinating under water scenes
and a giant octupus fighting with
dive for it's big thrill. 1t is
well acted, too, by the featured
principals and Frederick Voge-
ding as the villainouS sailor.
On the supplementary program
is a pippin of a scrappy cartoon
in which the Hollywood artists
mimic some of the better known
screen stars and world celebrities.
A Masquaers short comedy is
also laughable embroidery. The
Pathe News with timely shots
completes the program.

Those Radio Acts

Every act developed by network
radio within the last two years
has been booked for the Wash
ington movie stages, with the
possible exception of Ed Wynn,
whose asking price was deemed
too high.
Every act from the air waves
also has delivered at the theater
box office. So I am told. Book
erS are eager for the radio en-
tertainers, but the networks have
failed utterly in developing new
talent. That's what the bookers
say, and they ought to know.
OF course I could start an
argument-and I love arguments
by inquiring why nobody has
booked Jessica Dragonette, finest
feminine voice that comes
through the loud speaker. Or
how about Frank Crummitt and
Julia Sanderson. with Julia'S
giggle and Franks mandolin? I
can't understand, either, why
Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut
Yankees are snubbed by the
Washington bookers. And what
ever became of the Eddie DowI-
ing-Rae Dooley joint booking
scheduled for Inauguration week?
AS for Will Rogers, he can do a
first-class vaudeville act and he
can be had, as they say. The
City Service Cavaliers, also. Oh,
well, I'm not a booker, just a
suggeSter. Maybe the fault isn't
all with radio.

"She's My Lille" have been Off
cially booked at the Fox although
he did his hard shoe dancing
and his falls for me as a special
guest star at the unemployment
benefit which I conducted back
in November 1880.
At that time a capacity audi
ence waited until 3 o'clock
in the morning to greet Mr..
Mahoney. He came over from
Baltimore where he was appear
ing with the Carroll Vanities and
his delayed presence was due to
Q blowout on the Baltimore pike.
Since then he has added that
xlophone tap dance to his roper
toire, stunt that brings down
the house and is so difficult
none of the vaudeville copy cats
have been able to steal it. A
worthy headliner and one who
always delivers.

Joan Meets the Bunch

Hollywood wires reached here
yesterday heralding the approach
of Joan Blondell, blonde Warner
Bros star. The telegraphic ad-
vices said that Miss Blondell was
the most regular" person on the
Warner Bros payroll, added fur
ther that she was the most
obliging and willing star of the
studios and that as such she was
entitled to the finest hospitality
the local w. B. organization could
offer.
Joan arrived right after the
kilograms and Frank La F'alce i'm
mediately set his publicity bureau
to work arranging a press recep-
ton. It will be held this after
noon in the Warner Bros club
rooms. AS perhaps you already
know Miss Blondell will open
personal appearance engagement
at the Earle on Friday.

And when Friday morning
rolled around, not only was she
in the studio to make her test
but Mr.. Black was there to
play straight for her. She had
simply applied the hysterical
treatment. This treatment was
invented by Eve and has been
used by wives ever since.
Although Mr.. Black was pres
ent, however, they tell me he
was as nasty straight man as
ever tried to kill a partners
lines.
The Nasty Villain
Mrs. Black was very coy
and very sweet and very
clinging, but Mr.. Black refused
to play his scene as it had
been written for him. He was
sore about the whole thing and
he made no effort to hide it.
When the test was completed
and they left the studio his
wife was on the verge of tears.
IT know I was all right" she
murmured, Il just know it.
But you-you were terrible.
You growled every line you
had. How was I supposed to
be at my best when. even
while I was making love to
you, you were growing at me.
Its a shame. that's what it
is. If nothing comes of this
test I can blame you for it.
My one big chance, and you
did your best to ruin it for
me-"
That's all there is to the
story. With the exception of
the fact that the vaudeville
team of Black and Black is q
thing of the past. For Mr.,
Black is now celebrated gang
ster hero on the screen, and
his wife has retired from the
stage.
That test did the trick.
