Jimmy Durante Comedy Is HishIisht
OF Current Feature at Keith's

Long nosed Jimmy Durante and
the low geared Stuart Erwin make
a fine comedy and so "Palooka," !"
which opened on the Keith screen
yesterday, is q most amusing IS
minutes.
Comedian Durante was borrowed
from Metro Goldwyn to make this
Independent feature which stems
from a comic strip about prize
fighter who goes gay after winning
a championship on a fluke.
This sounds like a conventional
story formula and it is, but Mr..
Durante has such a bubbling ex-
uberance, such a facility for
racing pell nell with witty
speeches and such unctuous good
humor you are too busy laughing
to bother about its familiar ring.
Erwin is the fighter, Durante
the manager. Marjorie Rambeau
plays the graduate burlesque
queen who has settled down to an
urban life to raise her boy, Joe
Palooka, who suddenly decides
to become a fighter. Lupe Velez
is the brunette firecracker who
causes Palooka to forget about
training and other things. Mary
Carlise is the country sweetheart
and Robert Armstrong plays the
father of the aspiring middle
weight.
This very good cast assists the
two comedians and the finish of
"Palooka" is absolutely the best
farewell gag unreeled in quite a
spell. William Cagney, Jimmy's
brother, reveals he has possibil-
ties as light comedy actor.
I liked "Palooka" very much
and so will you unless you ex-
pect too much. Benjamin Stoloff
provides good direction.
There is an excellent Silly SYM
phony, "The China Shop" in
color and a very silly two-reel
comedy featuring Leon Enrol.

trayal of the Empress Eugene was
the principal offering of her third
program, presented at the Ma
tional Theater last evening. In
this she sketches the series Of
tragedies in the life of the consort
of Louis Napoleon, an adventurer
who chanced too much, and the
gorgeous costumes Of other days
lend glamour to a splendid in
depreciation.
A chance encounter in the BoiS

riage that made her an empress:
the disillusionment she found in
her lofty station; the wreck OF
the Second Empire at Sedan, and
the final disaster to her hopes in
the death of the Prince Imperial,
in the depths of Africa, lead to a
final scene, after the World War
in Paris, when the purpose of her
colorful career was finally brought
home to her.
Miss SINNERS artistry is re-
vealed admirably in this portrayal,
which she does not repeat during
her present engagement. here. To
night and Saturday evening she
will present The Loves of Charles
H." and the bill at tomorrow's
matinee is The Wives of Henry

Her Introductory sketches last
evening included "A Southern

elderly couple in a gondola IN

to young matrons, and a visualizar
ton of the hazards Of motoring

What would point out to an
swer the question which starts
this column is that personal ap-
pearances do destroy a certain
amount Of illusion and Of the de-
tached mystery which surrounds
the important acting figures in
Hollywood.
To make up for this the smart
entertainers should recognize an
obligation to appear at their very
best when they step out before
the visible audience. If they do
this their reputation will be en-
hanced rather than decreased. To
sum up, more have lost than have
gained by the personal appear
ance tours.

Mr.. Rosen has been anything
but idle on this work Of love and
hate, but has been holding UP the
production while waiting for 10,-
900 feet of authentic sound pic
lures Of Hitler activities and
scenes in Germany showing Hitler
in action and giving unusual
glimpSes Of how various peoples
have been treated by the Nazis.
All that remains for Rosen to do
is to write in the story.
If anything untoward should
happen to prevent the normal re-
lease of this particular opus (and
to date, more things have hap
pened to discourage that produc-
ton than any other), Mr.. Rosen
intimates that he will cut and re-
,, edit the imported film that he is
using and will roadshow it as pure
fact.

this might go through now because
Diana Wynyard, who just had her
option lifted by MGM has been
assigned the lead in Soviet" and
it will be her first picture on her
return from the Radio lot.
People out this way have had
their eyebrows lifted by a report
from London that Lily Damita-
the gal whose career left her no
time for marriage-has not only
had herself a husband but di-
vorced him all in the space of one
year. And that's as much informa-
ton as anyone has been able to
get. the name of the secretly mar
ried and divorced groom being as
much Of a mystery as the mar
riage itself. Miss Damita feels she's
been fooling the world with that
brick, but it sounds like just plain
fooling to us.

the story of one gal and some Of

somebody's bright guess that even
tually that title will be Biography

ought to have something like the
exquisite "Liebestodt" from Wag-

So the staff musical writer's
were promptly called in and given
the assignment of composing
something like "LiebeStodt." The
