Rough Old Bowery Reborn
Tn Picture at the Palace
Wallace Beery. Jackie Cooper and George Raft in
Excellent Characterizations- three
Little Pigs" Are Back Again.

DUBL1C1zED from here to there
u washington to Hollywood) by
Bowery parties, the initial pro-
duction Of the new goth Gen.
tury Co. 1.-THE Bowery" drew
quite a crowd Of late hlm-goers in its
preview showing at the Palace, midnight
last night.
In many ways this new film pro-
duced by the newest Of Hollywood pro-
duction companies, headed by Daryl
Zanuck and backed by millions, re-
sembles the old ry-Cooper film
THE Champ" In as many or more
ways, however, it Is a much better film.
The similarity venturing little further
than period, type Of characterization
and teamship Of Beery and Cooper.
THE Bowery," the "liveliest mile on
the face Of the globe" actually comes
to life and brings with 1t Of the dear
dead songs Of long ago, such as Little
Annie Rooney" Considering that the
Bowery Of yesteryear was the 'liveliest
mile" any attempt to bring 1t back
needs must be lusty, raucous and melo-
dramatic. This film Is all Of these In
the best Wallace Beery and George
Raft style. It Is melodramatic, having
at least three anti-climaxes.
Though Beery and Jackie Cooper
share equally the glory Of their re
spectivs parts, it Is the Steve Brodie
Of George Raft that puts the finishing
touch to the film. And, 1t Is that
Steve Brodie. who comes as near to
taking, the film from Beery as he did
to taking everything that Beery's char
acterization, Chuck Conners, had, In
cluding his girl and his saloon.
There IS enough melodrama ana
enough rough and tumble fighting,

Most nervous of all branches of the
industry have been the local agents,
whose commissions on artists contracted
and stories sold have run into flne
figures Several of the local agents
have built homes that are show places
about here. They drive in the highest
priced cars, own the most extensive
beach houses, and altogether clear neat neat
ly on that 10 per cent OF the players
or authors work. They have done
much to run Hollywood prices up to the
high altitude they occupy at present.
They are the go-between and dispute
settlers of this industry. and some OF
them make larger incomes than the

"A Mans Castle" the picture which
Frank BorZage directed and which pre-
sents Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young
in the romantic setting of the shacks
of Hoover City" lives up to its bally-
hoo as presented in rough prevlew the
other night. With sufficient cutting to
insure correct tempo and the little pol
ishing and editing which all pictures
receive after audience reactions are OBJ
served, 1t should emerge as one OF the
seasons greatest human interest yarns.
Spencer Tracy is forging rapidly
ahead and will be one of the big names
of the industry shortly. His unusual
personality-absence of the pulchritude
which We associate with most picture
stars-and unquestioned acting ability
will make his popularity a Sure-fre

who holds a unique position in Holly

and anything that comes to hand) to
last one q year. It Is so thoroughly
enjoyable through the efforts Of the
leading three, Beery, Raft and Cooper,
however, that melodrama Is either for
gotten or forgiven. No other three
actors could possibly have done as well,
been more fitted to their parts or made
one film as roughly humorous.
Fay Wray, whose career has ranged
from being chased by monsters to being
slapped by George Raft, is also in the
film, along with little Pert Kelton, who
broke into the 1imelight through her
work in BED Of Roses" Though Miss
Kelton dances and sings In very en-
gaging way, leading the beef trust" In
all her slimness, she does not seem to
be as much at home on the Bowery as
she would in the chorus Of the Follies.
Last night also marked the return Of
that Walt Disney Silly Symphony, "The
Three Little Pigs" which contains the
tuneful ditty that one cannot escape
hearing, or after hearing, escape
whistling or singing. THE Big Bad
Wolf" has become hit song Of today.
We venture to say, judging from re-
marks heard about the Palace, that as
many came to see The Three Little
Pigs" as did to see THE Bowery."

Nevertheless, even if this picture
(Which had its first days showing at
R-K-O keith'S yesterday diSsapoints
those who followed Miss VickerS along
her adventurous and often distressing
career, it should not displease those who
are on the lockout for first-rate acting
and imaginative directing. Miss Dunno
is as handsome as ever, as quiet and
dignified and as much at her ease. Even
when she is witnessing those brutal
prison scenes she refrains from getting
herself all snarled up emotionally and
carries along her torch as social
worker with genteel aplomb.
Possibly it is this geniality and quiet
ness that makes Miss Dunne's Ann
study more of herself than it does OF
Mr. Lewis heroine. There is no use
in being as vivid about the lady in pic
ture form as there was in fiction. Many
of the trials that Ann went through are
not for camera purposes, and the battles
that she had with the underworld as
we'll as with the upper crust ere often
better concealed than revealed.
Mr.. Lewis, however, never intended
Ann to be as soft as she is in this.
You cannot possibly imagine that she
did more than moderate amount OF
suffering Even after she has been de-
serted by the captain Bruce Cabot,

while she appears to be chagrined, she
never buckles down to the genuine
grief that it is presumable she must
have had. She looks unhappy, says she
is unhappy and grieves over her lost
child, but she never gives way to that
torturing miserablenesS which it is GER
tain the author intended should be part
Of her b@rden.
There are scenes in this picture,
however, and situations, and the carry
ing out by the actors of these situations
which are worth while and which
should please women particularly AS
advertised. it is probably "a great
woman's picture" 1t is this because it
has that comfortable philosophy which
says that while woman may struggle
and promote herself and work and
have what Is called a. career" when
you come right down to it it IS her
home, her man and her child that
counts-and to blazes with the rest.
Miss Dunno drives this home in the
last few minutes with charm and grace,
and Walter Hustons performance, al
Though there's less of it, is certainly on
a par with Miss Dunne's. Edna May

ing her, and Bruce Cabot NR-K-O's

SEA ELEPHANTS reach
length of 20 feet, and an enor-
nous supply of food is needed to
nourish the huge body. In ZOOS
they are fed every two hours.
Some idea of the animals size
can be gained from the fact that,
while lying flat on its stomach,
the sea-elephant can raise its
head almost seven feet in the air.
