So, Mr.. Andreson's prize play is
hustled out of doors, and when Ma
tionalites 60 to their orchestra chairs
next week they will be regaled with
a comedy that snatched our own Min
ma Gombel from the $3.50 ranks, and
tossed her pell-mell into fame. If
you think Mr.. Cochran has been
wrong in this move, read the script
of Both Your Houses" A view OF
it last season on Broadway convinces
us that it is just as well read as
played.
ONE of the actors you will soon see
~ in Manhattan Melodrama,' Will
liam Powell, deserves the good fortune
that has just been accorded him.
After a long period of batting about
from one studio to another, Mr.. Pow
ell has been signed by the M-G-M
studios on one of those nice long
strings which insureS him not only
long life on this lot, but also plenty
Of gravy.
Mr.. Powell's performance in Man
haitian Melodrama' is highly distin-
guished. 1t also reminds us that he is
one of the few Hollywood actors who
need have no fears, even though his
youth has left him. AS he advances
in years, Mr.. Powell also seems to
advance in wisdom. and he plays all
of his roles now with a calm aSsur-
ance and straightforward honesty
that is frankly relief from some OF
his erstwhile coy mannerisms. In
H. g +o ~
he even plays rings about Mr.. Gable
and that when he is haYing his
scenes with that exotic beauty Mirna

Just a little silly In other words, Mr.
Powell has a splendid knack of prov
ing not only how good he is-but how
second-rate are some of the so-called
great" thiS, as a matter of fact,
doesn't necessarily apply TO Mr..
Cable.
YOU will enjoy Murder at the

Paramount and Mr.. Carroll have de-
vised an elaborate entertainment that
IS new, handsome and average tune
full. They have also scurried around
and found some new faces. Proml-
nent among these are Kitty Carlisle,
Gertrude Michael IA handsome ShreW),
Carl Brisson and Dorothy Stickney,
who made Another Language" the
success it was on the stage. While Mr..
Brisson isn't given much more OF an
opportunity than to stand around and
look like cupid, his debut may be said
to be successful and as soon as he
refrains from showing all his molarS
when he sings he should be greatly
in demand.
A GENTLEMAN whom you should
want to see more often on the
screen is Alexander Woollcott. Mr..
Woollcott is that amazing raconteur
of excellent tales, who in the past two
years has probably become the most
popular intelligentSia on the market.

 ,Junge will be called on by the American Legion to try to check the fast-traveling Elks. But the Vets are badly crippled afield.
 The club. however, hasn't any intention of quitting. With it's back to the wall, they hope to stave off defeat tonight in the hope that by Sunday some of the missing players will be back Diringer, hard hitting catcher, and Novel;, who is leading the club in batting, both will be on hand then.
 This won't do any good, however, unless the Vets win tonight And Erskine ought to be in fine con- dition for his task The game should be battle between him and Junge.
