characters sing their lines in
Mother Goose fashion.
AS one who regards AL Jolson
as the greatest living entertainer,
am left without much to shout
about after seeing his latest pic
ture at Loew's Palace.
For one thing this musical phan.
taSy-that's what call it, since
it never approximateS reality-is
about a group Of no-accountS
whose fanciful roamings and at
tempts to be lyrically amusing fall
short of the bullseye. 1t is as II
few Of Mack Sennett'S comedians
escaped from their home grounds
and wandered over to help out
AL JolSon.
Patterned After Jimmy
The fanciful plot has a mayor
(patterned after Jimmy Walker)
with his best pal and SevereSt
critic the park minstrel known as
Bumper. It apears that every
time His Honor goes to the Cen
trail Park casino for a romantic
rendezvous he gets words of wis.
dom from Bumper and tosses him
a greenback as a reward. Their
friendship Is unusual, if hard to
understand. Well, the mayor and
his lady friend have a falling out,
she tries to end it all in the lake,
Bumper reScues her, she develops
amnesia and thus is true love
parted. In the end Bumper
brings the misunderstood lovers
together, makes a noble sacrifice
that is not quite as tear-inducing
as intended.

It seemed to me that the
authors IS. N. Behrman and Ben
Hecht) became so preoccupied in
cooking up this fiction they lost
sight of the fact it was intended
for the ace of singing comedians.
The song writing team of Rodgers
and Hart spent more time on
rhyming couplets than they did
on fitting AL Jolson with good
songs, so that while there is
plenty of music, Al has no WOW
song. Or no nanny song either.
The wistful and wide-eyed Harry
Langdon looked more at home in
"Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" than
any of the other actors. Frank
Morgan strives hardNwith an artifi-
cial role and Madge Evans makes
a pretty ingenue.

Nancy CAROLS
Latest Is at
The Earle

Nancy Carroll is on her way
back to the front rank with the
excellent work she provided in
Child of Manhattan" followed
by a sweet little performance in
Woman Accused" at the Earle
Theater this week.
Miss Carroll is much better
than her story, which, in spite
of its 10 distinguished authors,
is no better than it should be.
Put me down as against this
Hollywood plan of having 10
writer's on one picture. For while
nine of them may function as
smooth cogs in a fiction ma
chine, the odd fellow is enough
to gum up the works.
Battle of Wits
For example in Woman Ac-
cuSed" we have a good mystery
movie in which you know who
committed the murder and are
interested in seeing how smart
a detective-lawyer can be, sud-
denly turned into farcical mood
with mock trial on shipboard.
So good battle of wits is
wrecked because one author
thought the story needed comedy
relief.
Nancy plays Glenda O'Brien, a
penthouse beauty with a slightly
tarnished past who decided to 90
straight and marry Cary Grant.
But Louis Calhern Gin high favor
these days for cad roles) turns up
and will have none of it, since he
has enjoyed his affair with Nancy.
He threatens to have Cary Grant
bumped off, but Nancy stops that
by breaking his skull with a we'll
aimed blow from statue. Then
she hops off with her sWeetie on
one of those three-day ocean
cruises to escape justice and think
it over. A lawyer pursues her to
sea, but in the end decided it was
justifiable homicide.
1t is we'll acted, particularly by
John Halliday, Louis Calhern,
Irving Pichel, and, of course,
Nancy Carroll.
Cary Grant races with his lines
and disSipates the value of a good
role accordingly.
A sequence you will probably
enjoy shows a blackleg gangster
well raWhided, with Cary Grant
putting Drawn and enthusiasm
into his whip welding.

ArIiss Picture
Stays at Met

That delightful exponent of the
dramatic arts, Mr.. George Arliss,
enters his second week at the
Metropolitan in an entertaining
bit of fiction, The Kings Vaca-
ion"
With mention of Mr.. Arliss the
film itself becomes relatively un-
important. for it is his interpre-
tations which quicken the in
terest in anything which boasts
his name.
'."The Kings Vacation" is no
different. The story of a king
who abdicateS his throne, a
purely decorative one, for the
good of his people and his coun-
try to find that life is not quite
as he left it is not Ole that will
go down in the annals of film
history. But with George Arliss
as its king, the most discrimi-
mating of us will feel amply re-
paid by visit. Heightening the
excellence of the supporting cast
is Mrs. George Arliss, a charm
ing queen.

short which follows out def.
mite story. A Bosko animated,

set out to be the first to offer the

the most solid and prosper
ing studio in Hollywood, it
seems that Harry Cohen met
a charming lady who was q
widow. She was the widow Of
an immensely rich San Fran
ciscan, and Harry Cohen, who
was then sharing with brother
Jack the somewhat perilouS
profits of a small Indie" studio
in Hollywood's so-called "Pov-
erty Row" took long counsel
with himself and his bank
book before nervously asking
the charming widow to become
Mrs. Harry Cohen.
Well, they got married.
A notion, it seems, got firmly
lodged in Harry Cohen'S head.
It was that he would some
day offer his bride something
splendid, present, rich, unique
and spendthrift, something to
make that other fellow seem
like a piker.
The opportunity did not come
at once. First, Harry Cohen
made his first million, his Sec
ond, a few more. And then,
one weekend, he took a pleas
ure trip to San Diego. Friends
there took him down to the
yacht club for the day. They
cruised around the yacht
basin. Harry Cohen noticed
row of large yachts propped up
in the dry docks of a broker.
An inner voice told him that
he had found what he had
long been seeking.
The check was passed. A
crew was chartered. The big
yacht was repainted, floated,
brought down to San Pedro,
which is the Los Angeles and
Hollywood sea harbor.
Down to San Pedro
They motored down to San
Pedro. A speed boat was
waiting. The couple were
taken out into the yacht basin.
The newly purchased yacht
loomed dead ahead. Until the
speedboat touched the gang
plank of the yacht, Harry Co
hen withheld his great an
nouncement. Then, turning
to break the news to his lady,
he withheld it yet awhile. She
was pale, he noticed.
Feeling bad?" he sympa.
thized, regretting that in his
excitement he had forgotten to
bring a hip-flask. Can I get
you anything?"
yes"
He was stumped. He started
to explain about the hip-flask.
There's some in that side
board" Mrs. Cohen pointed
accurately at one of the locked
cupboards carpentered into the
wall beside the buffet. THE
key" she muttered, lis in the
middle drawer"
Automatically, Harry Cohen
obeyed instructions. The key
was in the drawer. 1t fitted
the sideboard lock. There was
a bottle behind the locked
door. 1t was a very old bottle.
Mrs. Cohen regained self-com-
mand.
Thank you, Harry"
Then only did a perplexing
thought strike the man who
is death on condolences in
Columbia pictures.
How did you know there
was a bottle in that cupboard,
dear?" he bewilderedly in
quired. "And the key, and"
"Oh, Harry!" replied Mrs.
Cohen bit regretfully. "This
is my old yacht-the one my
first husband gave me. 1 sold
it with the eState-to a broker
and"
And Harry Cohen still does
not approve of condolences
in Columbia pictures.
