BE Mine Tonight"
Held Over at Rialto

The most delightful music that
has graced our screens in a long,
long time, and some melodious
singing by Jan Kiepura are the
chief entertainment assets of BE
Mine Tonight" which is remain
ing a second week at the Rialto,
and these same qualities go a
long way in turning a rather COM
monplace story and below par
humor into the pleasing picture
it is.
The plot tells of an opera
singer, tired of publicity and &C
claim, who takes a vacation in
Switzerland, and has another man
pose as himself. The daughter Of
the towns mayor finds out the
deception, and after numerous
mix-upS and misunderstandin dings,
the whole affair is Strengthened
out.
Interpolated with several tune
full numbers, sung principally by
Kiepura, who possesses a remark
ably fine voice, the film is en-
gaging and entertaining. Magda
Schneider is the pretty girl Of the
story, and Sonnie Hale, as the
imposter, provides humor that is
a bit too English for entire en-
joyment.
A newsreel, cartoon and Our
Gang comedy complete the bill.

/ lambs Will Bring All Star Show

The Lambs are finally set for
their all-star public gambol at the
National Theater, Washington,
next Sunday evening, April 30.
Just 42 years ago, the Lambs,
finding themselves hard pressed
for cash in the then depressed
times for the theater, decided to
let the public see for the first time
a big show made up from the diff
ferent skits they had given that
winter for their private gambols.
Tom Manning was the Collie
and Augustus Thomas, then . a
budding young playwright, was
the Boy. The latter put the show
on and did most Of the promotion
work. The idea took such root
that the Lambs have annually
duplicated this formula and in
many prosperous seasons they per-
formed for the delight of their
friends, while at other times they
gave the shows to raise funds to
help carry on their heavy ex-
penseS.
In keeping with their best ira
ditions and the spirit of the times,
they have pitched the tempo Of
the 1888 gambol in lighter vein
with a bit of romance and a touch
Of fantasy here and there to
brighten the period.
In all there are a full score of
these brilliant acts written by
such composers and authors as

II Duce Divides
Honors With
Mae Clarke

That amiable dictator, Benito
Mussolini, is glorified on the
R-K-O-Keith program this week
as one half Of the screen menu.
It's a well chosen collection Of
news reel library shots from the
career of a blacksmith's son who
has became, in slightly more than
decade, one Of the worlds most
important figures.
You don't have to agree with
II Duce's political principles or
his philosophy to enjoy this pic
ture "MusSolini Speaks" You
may take it as a student Of his
tory looking on genuine and
realistic portraits of a nation
undergoing momentous changes
under the eyes Of the camera.
The significance Of the pictures
is Interestingly interpreted by
Lowell Thomas who gives run
ming account of the events which
led up to II Duce's ascendancy
and some Of the policies he has
expounded and worked out as the
Dictator Of Italy. I found it mild
ly engaging, but too many fear
will believe that it belongs in the
high school classroom.
The feature picture is "Parole
Girl" It is reminder of with
in the Law in its fiction plot.
That is it tells the story Of a girl
who was sent to the Jail house
when she figured she was entitled
to another chance. Coming out Of
prison she determines to take
out on the department store Of
ficial who was responsible for tag
ging her as a convict.
Ralph Bellamy Is the depart
ment store executive, smart as
they make 'em in running his
establishment but absolutely
dumb in running his personal af-
fairs. It pains me to see Holly
wood casting Hale Hamilton as
a racketeer just as much as it
pains me to see that good actor,
Ferdinand Gotschalk miscast by
being assigned to the chief
comedy role.
AS it is Parole Girl" is made
worthwhile by the acting Of
Mae Clarke. Here, it seems to
me, is a Hollywood actress who
is coming along. I never could
see her in waterloo Bridge" and
some of the other pictures she
worked in for Universal. But
she had her hair bobbed for
Fast Workers. with John Gil
bert and in this feature it is
still bobbed and she is a very
attractive star and a good little
actress. Much better than the
role she is given to make real.

STAYS at Palace

'"The White Sister," as it un-
rolled on the screen at the Pal
ace at the start of it's second
week is a film which transcends
mere description, but then Miss
Helen Hayes does that and it is
her almost immortal touch that
lends to the beautiful love story
it's added power. Memory serves
us but vaguely in recalling the
silent version with Lillian Gish
and Ronald Colman, but never
theless it seems improbable that
Miss Gish could have achieved
the sheer beauty with which Miss
Hayes imbues her Angela. Pos
sibly a prejudiced viewpoint and
one in competition with years but
the impression still remains strong
and bids fair to remain equally
as strong with a background Of
time.
AS the ineffable spirit Of Helen
Hayes has done this, so does it
seem to work it's inspired effect
on the supporting players. Clark
Gable as the soldier lover, Clio
vanni, becomes less crude, more
sincere, and more capable of the
finer emotions which he is called
upon to portray. With Lewis
Stone, Louise Closer Hale, Ed
ward Arnold. and May Robson,
they are tried and true in all
roles and their respective contri-
buttons in the white Sister" are
no exceptions.
AS such this love story of the
sheltered girl and the soldier, and
later of the nun and the soldier
is one to be seen and remembered.
if not for the story which is
worthy in itself, then for Helen
Hayes and all that she represents,
an actress of our generation who
knows no age-H. w.

whom he thought were in need.
But when he was broke, Moral
was the naStiest individual that
ever stole a dime from q beg
gar.
Most of his money came from
the Bombay race track where
he was always an unwelcome
visitor.
During the progress Of the
race, he had one certain way
of always keeping in funds.
When-and if-his own bank
roll would disappear, Moral
would fix his eyes on a fell
low Hindu who might happen
to cash in on bet.
Say" he would murmur
softly, "lend me some money,
will you?"
The money was generally In
his hands Immediately. The
donor knew it was gone for
ever-but what was he to DOE"
And that's the way Little
Moral made his existence.
The natives Of Bombay who
could afford to attend thu
races knew that they would
be far, far better off With
Moral out of the way. The
man was a nuisance. But
what to do about it? WhG
among them would be bolG
enough to make the first movef
Finally, one Of the regular
customers at the track decide7
to see what he could do abou,
it. Meeting Moral one after"
noon as they were both on
their way to the track, the
gentleman in question told Mo-
raj in no uncertain words that
he was a nuisance at the track.
And why didn't he stay away?
One More Victim
Morals answer was to pull
his knife. It flashed upward
once, then downward. For this
vicious assault Moral was ar
rested and sentenced to prison.
In six years, Moral was a free
man again, but he found that
things had changed consider
ably. He looked the situation
over and then took himself to
Calcutta.
Immediately upon his arrival
he went directly to the race
track outside of Calcutta. There
he met an old friend of his.
He asked the friend for money,
but the friend merely shook his
head.
One word led to another.
Moral whipped out a knife that
he had obtained after his re-
lease from prison. The other
only smiled, and pulling a gun
from his pocket, pointed it at
Morals heart.
BE careful, man." he
breathed, you're pointing that
gun at the toughest fellow in

tough man yet that didn't meet

man. Now, you're the second

And Moral fell dead.

EN- ROUTE FROM CALCUT-
TIA, India, to RANGOON, Bur
ma.-Sitting on deck last night,
I was told the story Of Little
Moral. Moral Is dead now-ac-
cording to the purser of this
vessel who told me the yarn.
But among the natives Of Bom-
bay, the memory Of Little Moral
will linger for many years to
come. For he was the baddeSt
Of the bad.
His knife would flash on any
occasion. And his fists would
often fly for no reason at all.
He held murder cheaply, and
thieving was his occupation.
But all that he gained, he gave
away. And no one can really
ever hate a man like that. I
wish I had known Moral.
A Street Fight
Away back in 1910, two Hindus
engaged in q heated argument
Of some sort. Ones fist shot
forth, connected with the others
chin and the latter fell to the
ground. The victor laughed
loudly and walked on up one Of
Bombay's side streets.
No more than thirty seconds
later, very thin and very short
Hindu walked up to the chap
who had been hit, and who was
still resting easily on the ground.
"Who," he asked crisply in his
own tongue, els the toughest
fellow in this part Of the city?"
The beaten man pointed down
the street in the general direc-
tion Of the one who had put
him where he was.
There he goes," he mur-

derous arm to grab the stranger
by the collar, but he wasn't
quite fast enough. The arm was
showed aside, a fist flew upward
and Mohamet was on the
ground, completely out.
He had introduced himself.
Moral Was Tough
Where Moral came from
originally, no one ever did
find out. But one thing those
Hindus did learn from some
source or other. The man was
tough. At one time during
his career, he had been SEN
fenced to Jail in a small town
in India, for having plunged
a knife into another man where
it did not belong.
The hard labor that they i'm
posed upon him did not meet
with his approval. Accordingly,
he seized a knife one morning
while behind the bars and
deliberately chopped away the
middle finger of his left hand.
He lost the finger but he
won his point. The prison
authorities gave him no more
manual labor.
A keeper in the prison
sought to torment Moral in
the latter's cell. Opening the
door, he sought to cuff the.
prisoner about. Moral fought
back. The keeper drew his
gun. Moral lunged forward.
The gun fell to the floor.
Moral reached it first. A shot.
Another. And the keepe-.: fell
dead.
An investigation followed the
murder. Moral showed his
bruises and told of his beat
ings. Some influential person,
so the story goes, took pity
on the man.
AS a result, Moral received
no extra time for the killing
Of the keeper. Instead, when
some two years had passed,
he was pardoned completely.
It was after his release, that
he arrived in Bombay.
With money in his pocket, he
was a friend to all the world.
He would walk around the
toughest section Of the city,
