for something to happen, there is a
fade-out and you begin on something
else Just as you are getting ready
to enjoy Oracle Allen, Miss Allen is
turned off. Just as you begin to think
"this is likely to be pretty funny" the
fun is removed and in its place you
find Dick Arlen emoting seriously about
the joys and the sorrows Of campus
life.
1t will be another century or so, Of
course, before there is new plot writ
ten for college story. Yet, If you
can detect one little minute Of college
Humor's" plot which hasn't been used
before you may be given the Palace
Theater in toto.
What is new and paSsably enter
tanning is the light way in which songs
and sketches are introduced, even If
they don't make sense. You will enjoy,
for instance, Bing Crosby, as a pro-
fessor, teaching his class to Learn
How to Groom" You will enjoy any
thing the blonde Miss Carlisle does
And you will enjoy sight of other pretty
ladies, such as Mary Kornman (grown
up since her "Our Gang days. and
Iona Andre.
When, however, the old foot ball
business comes creeping in, when hero
Arlen gets himself a bit ''plastered"
and has to be stuck under the shower
when all the old campus gags show
their ears again you will feel at bit sad.
After all the fuss made over this
picture it seems reasonable to suppose
that it might have been a notch or
SO better. It isn't poor 1t just isn't
as good as we had suspected it
might be.

REVEALS THE
| SECRETS OF
! OLD INDIA
Picture at Keith's
Goes In for the
Mysteries.

Mystic India, land Of people of many
religions, speaks through the voice OF
Richard Halliburton on the screen of
R-K-O Keith's this week The ancient
lore of these religions has ever called
to the white mans indefatiguable curl
osity. Today, even when the people
have the championship Of the Mahatma
Ghandt, the picture brings to light
India's deplorable conditions. Today
we have the cameras of the world
delving into the many mysteries Of that
in its social problems.
india Speaks" Is an excellent pho
tographic record of this land and its
religions and customs, however, one
slider it may have had to be made to ap-
peal to a public that insists on having
its curiosity appeased and its horror
aroused So it is that India Speaks
was made into q film with many reels
Of the terrible tortures these people
undergo In religious frenzy, sidewalk
scenes Of the beggars, who line the
streets Of the cities. the horrors Of
their (what seems to us) uncivilized
customs of burning the dead along the
Ganges River, and the strange rituals
of their religion.
But there are many scenes of beauty.
Of gardens of the Shalimar. the beauty
Of which has been mmortalized in
poem and song, and of an exciting lion
hunt and q fight between this king of
the jungle and a Bengal tiger, as well
as remarkable shots of the vampire bat
asleep. and in fight in such swarms as
to darken the skies overhead.
Composed in the form Of travel
film with an interpreter explaining
each of the scenes In very interesting
dialogue, this film, produced by Walter
Futter and made up from many parts
Of his well known travel-talk shorts,
offer much in the way Of enlightment
on one phase of the East Indian Gus
toms and beliefs. j. N. H.

ing and highly entertaining qualities.
1t is yet that light, scintillating musical
comedy advertisement, filled with those
dance routines that are really different
in composition and music one wants
to sing or whistle. Shot from every
studio angle possible, these graceful
dancers offer everything in the way of
dance rhythm.
Not only does this elaborate extrava-
ganza have excellence in dance routines
and music, it has cast which Warner
Bros. will have difficult time to dupi-
cate or gather together again. There
is the personable Dick Powell, a radio
find whose singing never seems to be-
come tiresome; Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Al
Jolson), who, regrettably, may not do
another film for a long time; Joan
Blondell, more attractive in every new
film (watch for her Forgotten Man"
number, and Warren William, an ex-
cellent Boston blue blood who succumbs
to love of show girl Added to these
Is Aline MacMahon, comedienne, whose
efforts really amuse; Guy Kibbee,
reminiscing on his younger days; a tow
headed youngster whose Joe Cook-ian
antics bring as many laughs as those
Of the featured comedy stars, and Ned
Sparks, an exceptional out-of- f-the-side-
f-mouth-talking theatrical agent.
As Is usual with musical comedies,
there is a story intermingled with its
dancing and singing, and it Is the usual
story with backstage angle, but some

Much College Humor and
A Fair Share of Romance
Campus Affairs Do Not Live Up to Their Ballyhoo
and the Hero of The Man Love- Is
Shot Too Late in Life
By E. de S. Melcher.

THE best part of IT Love That Man,
the new Paramount Aim at War
ner's Earle, is the playing Of Show
Boat" Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim
can't help lovin' that man" theme song
which you hear every time Nancy Carol
walks on the scene. BY closing your
eyes and leaning away back in your
chair you will recall the dusky-eyed
Helen Morgan sitting on top Of that
piano and pouring out her all in one
of the most provocative of modern jazz
ballads.
If you wake up. of course, the illu-
sion will be broken, since Miss Carol is
no Helen Morgan and the film is a
curious tumble of almost every bit Of
Ladies, however, who feel that Edmund
Lowe (slightly heavier than the aver
age run of shieks) is a gentleman who
they would like to wrap up and take
home In their pockets, may be pleased
at some of the goings-cn.
Mr.. Lowe plays the part Of q COM
plete bounder. Miss Carol Is seen as
lady who 'loves that man" for no
earthly reason that we can think Of.
Lowe is frisky confidence man" who
robS people out of any amount of money
he can get his fingers on. Crooked
as the day is long, mad, bad and con-
tinually running away from things, he
is the least admirable of men.
Miss Carol, however, takes one look
at him, and, giving up her Bowery mis-
sion work, runs all over the country
after him. She marries him in the
final scene, when somebody has shot
him and done what should have been
done at the beginning of the film.
Some of the first part of the picture
is amusing. But when they drag in the
glass coffins and the lady has a baby
at the wrong moment, it's time to
call it day
THE Earle stage show, however,
makes up for some of the pictures
faults. Headed by that excellent team
of Mitchell and Durant, two splendid
acrobatic funnymen who work hard
and are just as well received as they
were in this seasons "Vanities," the
show also includes the Three Stewart
Sisters, who are given big hand (due
mainly to a flrst-rate Joe Penner i'm
itation by the chief sister,; those well
known ventriloquiSts, Walters and Wal
ters, and Dick and Edith Barstow, who
do some Of the fanciest dancing seen
here this season. You will really get
kick watching the Barstows slide up
and down those stairs on their toes
And you will also enjoy Mr. Mitchell
taking a poke at Mr.. Durant later in
the show, all of which, with Maxine
Doyle's droleries to tell you what it's
all about, should give you very merry
time.
