Gay sic Film
Now at Keith's

Universal studios have turned
out an entertaining and thor
oughly delightful musical film
under the title Of Moonlight and
Pretzels" which is now on view at
Keith'S.
Not claiming to be pretentiouS
or spectacular, the production
presents many well-known stage
and screen personalities, plus a
veritable bevy of girls, in a story
that is loaded with tuneful songs,
fast dancing and good comedy.
Roger Pryor, of the stage, has
his first screen role in this pic
ture and gives a good account of
himself as a young and struggling
song-Writer and producer, en-
deavoring to put on a show, with
all sorts of odds against him.
Sharing honors with Pryor are
Lillian Miles (where has that gal
been?), who possesses an unusal
singing voice and a decided flare
for comedy; and Leo Carrillo,
whose portrayal Of Greek
gambler proved his worth. Mary
Brian is the love interest, Herb
ert Rawlinson the menace (along
with several others).
Bernice Claire, Alexander Grey,
Richard King sing the song hits,
among them being But Is It
Love?" Dusty Shoes" Moonlight
and Pretzels," with a swell beer
garden scene; and many others.
The chorus girls are all lockers
and execute some intricate Bobby
Connolly routines. Jack Denny
and his band are the accompan-
lists. while Frank and Milt Britton
and their gang are seen in their
rough and tumble act.
With all this list Of credits,
probably some have been omitted,
for the film is full of performers,
all of whom do their bit to enter
tain. The simplest way is to say
that you'll like Moonlight and
Pretzels." incidentally, this re-
viewer may possibly be there, too.

very well done by Alma Harris,

voice to a happy entity. Betty

FILMS WILL DRAMATIC INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY ABROAD
Offers
A Movie Idea
Or Interest
By GEORGE SPELVIN

The Era" which Is Britaln'S
attempt to duplicate Variety"
has the idea Of promoting the
national welfare through a policy
for British films-that Of drama.
tizing the industrial recovery OF
the country.
The publication points out that
there are plenty, Of industries, and
that each one would gladly fur
nish the background for a film
which would sell confidence to
the nation, as interpreted in the
terms of several industries.
*kK
OF course, that sort of thing has
been done here after a fashion,
and there Is no reason 1Ohy It
should not be done again. Any,
thing the pictures could do to hop
up business recovery tOould TN
doubtedly be tDelconIed by General
johnson. And If action is OGnted,
the turmoil in his otDp domain at
the Commerce Department UouLd
provide plenty OF atmosphere.
There might be a ntoUie in the
doughty generals oUn campaign.
However that may be, the Brit
iSh idea seems reasonable, and
adaptable to the u. s. A. Of
course, after the slump has been
licked and everything is running
smoothly again, some bright lad
of the type of Ben Hecht, Charles
Macarthur or Moss Hart could
have a lot of fun with the same
theme. But it's no time for satire
now.
Screenings Of the week give
ground for the view that Wash
ington's movie public will see
some pretty fair pictures, begin
ming Friday.
At the Earle Tuesday George
Arliss's latest picture, "Voltaire,"
was previewed by local critics and
movie folk, most appreciatively.
Arliss, Doris Kenyon, Reginald
Owen and numerous others
appear in a strong cast that gives
vigorous portrayal Of the story. .

Helen Hayes, Robert Montgomery

Frankel's famous play, which has
been accorded excellent movie
treatment. It comes to the

Mary Rogers to
Use Pseudonym

Will Rogers daughter, Mary,
who was discovered on the Fox
lot acting under the pseudonym
of Mary Howard. and who de-
cided to revert to her fathers
name, has switched back again
to Mary Howard and will appear
in the role of Diana in my
Weakness" under her assumed
name.
II want to make good as an
unknown" she said, rather
than as Will Rogers daughter.
By the time MY Weakness is
released, people will forget all
about the fact that my iden-
tity was printed throughout the
country. If they decide that I
am all right as Mary Howard,
then perhaps I'll use my own
name in future pictures"

 WiU Be in PerIlarlt Fight

CLEVELAND, April IA clos CT race at the top, with the Cleve- land Indians furnishing stronger opposition to New York, Washing ton and Philadelphia, is the way General Manager Billy Evans sees the 1883 American league season.
 Again consigned to fourth place for the fourth consecutive year by most experts, the Indians have made no sensational trades nor ap- parently been greatly strengthened by high-priced purchases.
 Yet Evans confidently expects his club to prove stronger, though on the surface it is the same team that has played good ball in past seasons but developed weaknesses that prevented it being serious pennant contender.
 Strong Mound Staff
 Here is how the Cleveland offi- cial analyzes it, point by point.
 Pitching-With only one veteran among them, the pitching staff in cludes Willis Hudlin, Wesley Fer rell, Mel Harder, Clint Brown and Oral Hildebrand, may reasonably expect to improve for some years to come. Hudlin and Terrell have introduced some uncertainty into the situation by salary arguments.
 Catching-Roy Spencer, obtained in trade from Washington, is ex- pected to help the pitchers, and Frank Pytak, fine youngster, is expected to do an ever-increasing share of regular work.
 Three Promising Rockies
 Infield-C1evelano will have the advantage of Chalmers Cissells second base play from the first of the season this year. Johnny Bur nett apparently has found his niche at shortstop. There are three prom ising prospects, Harley Boss, who may give Eddie Morgan a battle at first;c Bad News" Hale, who is ready to step in at third any time Willie Kamm falters; and Billy Knickerbocker, a lively prospect at shortstop.
 Outfield-Evans thinks Joe Vos- mix, Earl Averill and Dick Porter make up the best outfield in base ball. He expects the teams de- fense to be frightened py shifting Vosmik to center field.

NEW YORK, April 11.-For the purpose of developing greater spirit of aggressiveness on the call fields and giving the game more of a customer appeal, John A. Heyd- Ter, President of the Natio nal League, yesterday appealed to play CTS to avoid fraternalizing with ri- vals and loafing at any stage of the forthcoming pennant race.
 President Heydler said baseball, which starts in the Major Leagues Wednesday of this week, is a pas time facing the acid test of popu- larity in competition with other amusementS.
 Heydler said the people are bud getting expenses regarding sports and amusements and will choose one that promises the most en- joyment. He declared baseball is the best amusement but it must be conducted on an aggreSSiyely competitive basis.

. watermelon. But give them time
 Lou's great play with Portland last season inspired a veteran Pa cific Coast League umpire to de- clare:
 Hes a second Ty Cobb. He's as fast as Cobb ever was, he can hit and throw and he has the same fighting spirit that made the old Georgia Peach the terror of : his time.
 T believe that kid would cut his brothers leg off to steal base. One day last year he gave the spikes to a second baseman, and when the fellow began to squawk Finney asked him if he thought they were playing tag
 The speaker was reminded that after all, Finney might have diffi- culty stealing first base.
 From Buffalo, Ala. Listen, you don't have to worry about that baby's hitting" came the retort. He can make that apple whistle tune on the way to the outfield. And can he throw? Why he can throw strike nine times out Icf ten from deep left"
 Lou halls from Buffalo, Ala, a town whose population largely is comprised of Finneys. He was play ing with Carrolton in the Georgia State League less than three years ago when the As bought him and Sugar" Cain, the pitcher, for $75O.
 He belongs to family of fine athletes. One brother, Hal, is a catcher with Pittsburgh. Lou didn't go to college.
 T had one brother who went to college and ruined his chances to make the big leagues, and wasn't going to make the same mistake, " he declared
 Finney, farmed out by Connie Mack, spent one year in the New York-Penn. league, with Harrisburg and York, before blossoming into the great player last season at Portland. He was little weak against southpaw pitching early last year, but he remedied that.
 Long Arms and Legs
 Every morning." said the same umpire who compared him to Cobb, "Finney hired all the left-handed kids in the neighborhood to pitch to him, and everyone who struck him out got a quarter. Many times I've seen him come to the plate in the afternoon with his hands full of blisters."
 Physically, Finney is something of an athletic freak. He's all arms and legs, with very little torso. His waist line and elbows almost are on the same level, and his legs seem almost deformity in size He gallops over an enormous
