In the end, when the more
modern Virginia enters, a perox-
ided sophisticate, he realizes what
Amy's love has really meant.
It is Frances Fuller, as Amy,
who takes the greatest part of
acting honors in lone Sunday
Afternoon" She is by far the
most finished and most appealing
actress that has flashed on the
screen in many a day.
Gary Cooper plays Biff in his
usual, slightly wooden manner.
Fay Wray is Virginia, whose
transformation into a complete
hussy may seem trifle overdone.
Neil Hamilton has the role of the
overbearing Hugo. and Roscoe
Karns is the friend.
To miss "One Sunday After
noon" is to miss one of the most
refreshing pictures that Holly

Jack Holt Stars
In "Wrecker" "
At Columbia

''The Wrecker," starring JACK
Holt, George E. Stone, and Gene
We've Tobin, is a red-blooded
melodramatic venture interspersed
with a little pathos, a few laughs,
and a good sized splash of action.
Currently it is showing at Loew's
Columbia Theater. The virile
Holt puts goodly round Of en-
ergy into a role which might not
have Jared so well in less capable
hands. Graphic filming by the
director and author, Albert RogelI'
does much to mitigate an average
interesting story.
Regan CHolt) is in the wreck
ing business in a large Western
metropolis. Saving one Shapiro
from an untimely death, the two
eventually build up an enviable
partnership but not until a great
many incidents transpire. George
E. Stone, who always manages to
inject a mastery and finesse into
any given performance, adds i'm
measurably to the success OF this
film with one of his most gifted
characterizations. Genevieve To-
bin, beloved by Regan, but in
fatuated with Cummings (Sidney
Blackmer) is competent. Intent
only upon selfish gain, the woman
vacillates until the final grim eli
max when fate takes hand.
Greed, jealousy and Selfishness
are finally outdistanced by hon
esty, love and kindness.
A fashion show which is a de-
light to the feminine, and per-
haps masculine patron, too, Is
one Of the features Of the supple
mental program. Hearst Metro
tone has a widely diversified news
release notable in which are dem
onstrations for the NRA and
shots of the preparations for the
Byrd expedition to the South Pole.
A short comedy and Paramount
News winds up the program.

Two oil paintings hanging In
the pretentious country club set
that filled nearly an entire stage

Coward Had Early
Start as Dranatist t

The dramatic instinct expressed
itself in Noel Coward at the ten
der age of 7. At that time he
wrote a play and added to it an
unwritten highly emotional climax
by laying out his leading lady with
a spade because she wouldn't
speak her lines properly. The
leading lady was only 6!
Noel Coward has been a dram
atist ever since, also an actor
composer and producer. It Is as
dramatist and composer that he
will be found in Bitter Sweet"

Frances FuIIeI
Takes Honors
At Earle

Once in a blue moon the film
producers dare to make a picture
without trace of suggestiveness
or offensive situations. That this
type of story can be highly en-
tertaining Is demonstrated by
lone Sunday Afternoon" now on
the Earle screen.
An outstanding hit Of the New
York legitimate season, Zone
Sunday Afternoon" has been pic
turized with Gary Cooper, Fran
ces Fuller, Fay Wray and Neil
Hamilton in the leading roles.
It is a simple tale, Of love In
the nineties, love that Surmounted
all obstacles and triumphed in the
end. Told by the flashback
method, the film opens in the Of
flee of Biff Grimes, Small-town
dentist, on a Sunday afternoon
about 1912.
Biff and his friend are drinking,
reminiscing about the old days
when Hugo Barnstead enters
Hugo is the man who thWarted
Biff's courting of the town belle,
Virginia, by marrying her. While
serving Hugo as a dentist, Biff
who blames Hugo for his sup
posed incomplete life, remembers
the happenings of years ago.
Gay NinetieS Pictured
The horse cars, hayrides, and
other mementos of the nineties

Will Rogers as Doctor Bull at Fox;
Nine Frances Aida on Stage

With the homely sagacity Of
Will Rogers leading the screen
honorS and the charm and voice
of Madame Frances Aida top
ping the stage attraction, the
Fox ushers in a bill of high
merit.
Doctor Bull" Mr.. Rogers to
you, is a film which ignores mere
plot and action and develops
into a saga of one man, that
man a general practitioner in a
small town with its gossips, its
love affairs and its troubles. DR..
Bull goes his unassuming way
giving a pill here, castor oil
there, but most of all his tirelesS
energy, wit and wisdom.
Typical of all the Rogers pic
lures, but more pronounced, the
unobtrusive story forms a back
ground for Will and his unique
personality. He rambles through
his daily rounds becoming less
of the wit and more of the
character he portrays, until the
climax Of the story when he
brings the wrath of a certain
contingent of the townSpeople on
his head for an alleged neglect
of duty and tops this with win
ming medical fame through a
cure of paralysis with a cow
serum.
Don't misjudge this to be q
dose of sentimentality, we didn't
see a handkerchief in use all
afternoon. It is a human picture
with humor that tickleS the
corners of your lips and some
how gets mixed up in your
anatomy in the region of your
heart. BY all means visit DR..
Bull.

"BitterSweet'
Has Romance
and Music

Noel Coward's Bitter Sweet"
was one of the loveliest Of the
Ziegfeld musicals with Evelyn
Laye as its featured star. In Eng
land it enjoyed an even greater
success with Peggy Wood as Sari-
Marchioness of Shayne.
From the British and Dominion
Productions studio comes the film
version which was unreeled yes
terday at RKO-Keith's as the
main screen attraction. Bitter
Sweet" has many virtues includ.
ing a sad little romance, the
haunting theme melody of Com
poser Coward and quaint mid
Victorian costuming which seems
appropriate for the leiSurely story
telling.
Excellent British
I found it one of the finest pro-
ductions that has yet come from
Piccadilly. This is not overpower-
ing praise for very few good pic
lures from England have been ex-
hibited on the American screen.
Its main faults are uneven musi-
cal recording, the fact that the
singing is without distinction and
that whoever wrote the scenario
figured that everybody in the
audience must know exactly how
Sari became the MarchioneSS Of
Shayne and so the essential de.
tails could be skipped.
AS it Is the musical romance has
q storytelling technique reminis-
cent Of Smiling Through" Sari
Linden as the aging Marchioness,
observes a young couple, deeply in
love, but torn by indecision due to
the difference in social position.
So she tells them the story Of her
own pathetic romance. How she
ran away from a titled fiance on
the eve Of her wedding to even
tually marry her young music
teacher. Sari and Carl loved and
suffered together and just when
happiness seemed about to break
through he was killed resenting
the unwelcome embrace an Aus
trian officer forced upon his wife.
But Sari never regretted her mar
rlage and found JOY in its memo
ries. The young couple preSum-
ably are guided by Sari'S advice
that love is everything.
Soothing Melody
The star role of Bitter Sweet"
is acted by an English beauty,
Anna Neagle. She looks like Ann
Harding, has a good speaking
voice and an astonishing way of
trying to express emotions by flut-
tering or wringing her hands.
Apart from this overdone manner
ism her performance is good. Fer
naand Graavey, a Belgian actor
who resembles Ramon Novarro
plays Carl and does a neat job.
The comedy relief is provided by
Ivy st. Heller as cabaret SOU
brette who employees the extrava-
CANT continental fun methods for
her laughs.
Herbert Wilcox directed "Bitter
Sweet" smoothly. Most soothing
of the tunes is "1'll See You
Again." which has lingering
strains, the best recorded "Tokay,"
with it's robust drinking chorus.
On the supplementary program
is Jimmy Durante mixing fun and
patriotism in an NRA appeal, a
Krazy Kat cartoon with take-offs
of the radio stars and the Pathe
News Reel with striking shots of
the NRA parade in New York and
a two-minute speech by Owen
Young asking national support Of
the recovery program.

Cheats In Love
John Hayden is the big busi-
nessman. His father left him an
honorable and successful packing
business and he started to main
tain its high standards and tradi.
tions. Soon the press Of competi-
tion impelled him to stoop to un-
ethical practices. He meets Laura
Macdonald, an ambitious young
singer, and listens to her phi
losophy that there is nothing in
this world but money and success.
Soon he is head over heels in love
with the singer whose operatic
career he provides. His wife learns
of his deceit and their happiness
Is over.
Millionaire Hayden gets the
contract to supply the Spanish
War soldiers with canned meats.
He provides tainted goods and
swells the casualty lists. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt warns him
be will some day pay for his
heartlesS methods and eventually
has him indicted. But Hayden'S
lawyers secure an acquittal.
The Hayden business is eX-
panded. defies Government de.
crees and wakes fat on World
War profits. But the financial
whirlpool catches hlm and to add
to his woes the opera singer
demonstrates he was merely a
useful stepping s;ore. His wife
glories in his ieIcat and Hay
der takes a fast liner to escape
TO an alien country where lie
can take refuge from grand
juries.
Robinson Is Star
The story of Il Loved a
Woman" is told rather excit-
ingly in a series Of flashing cpl
sodic scenes. The influence Of
the current headlines and the
insult debacle are apparent IN
q tale that sticks closely 20 his
torical truths. -.
Eddie Robinson plays the meat
packer, and it is one Of his best
characterizations. How his hu-
manitarian impulses become warp
ed, how he becomes cheater in
love and business is graphically
depicted in well acted chapters.
He is forceful and dominant, but
less gruff and unpublished than as
Haw Tabor in his recent release.
Kay Francis as the opera singer
and Genevieve Tobin as the wife
contest for feminine honors and
Eddie Robinson's affection. It
is an interesting screen battle
with this critics laurel going to
Actress Tobin, who is good enough
to take one important scene right
away from the star. The direction
of Alfred Green is excellent
throughout.
A novelty is Kay Francis sing
ing Home On the Range" with
Actor Robinson blending his voice
for a duet chorus. The period
costuming, too, is something the
fair film fans will find intriguing.
