Entertaining Evening
RED VODVIL NIGHT-Presented
by the New Theatre Magazine
at the Civic Repertory Theatre.

at the CIVIC Repertory Theatre.
THESE Sunday Theatre Nights,
1 whatever their shortcomings as
whole-and they have many
always manage to offer something
at least once during the evening
that gives the audience a genuine
dramatic thrill. This time, it was
the performance by the Ukrainian
Dram Group of their satiric review
sketch, "Oh Yeah"
In spite Of the handicap of Ian
guage, they communicated clearly
the meaning of their play by their
remarkable pantomime. I don't
know if this group is entirely COM
posed of amateurs, or whether their
standing is semi-professional, but
their ensemble acting, sustained and
expressive, could furnish m a N y
points to the Theatre of Broadway
which in this matter Of punctillous
direction is often sloppy and in
effectual. Outstanding in his part
was the comrade in the role of the
priest.
OF the Bunins and their puppets
we have already spoken in a pre-
vlous review. Their new sketch
Bones and Feathers" however,
failed to be impressive. The dog
gerel rhymes were stiff, a good line
was rare; with their two characters
reduced to symbols, the puppeteers
failed to Undue their little figures
with that precious human quality
which made last weeks sketches so
dear to the heart of the audience.
The 100 Percenter gave too much
evidence Of having been too quickly
prepared. 1t is good, swift, vaude-
vile, but except for John Brown,
the rest of the cast almost COM
pletely failed to catch the style of
acting which vaudeville requires.
And now, in the language of this
same vaudeville, We pass from the
sublime to the ridiculous: if Sophia
Delza's performance proved nothing
else, it did show the patience and
the good nature Of our worker audi
ence. Here and there, a guffaw
did break through the astonishment
that greeted this dancers per-
Torrance. And deServedly so. There
is no question here of esoteric n1ys-
terry Of the dance; Sophia Delazas
choreography is shapeless, her
movements childishly literal; as
vaudeville, it wasn't funny enough.
Of the rest, the contribution of
the Unity Theatre, while Of a
higher political caliber than that
of last week, still shows that this
group is badly in need of good
direction.
The musical part of the program
was furnished pleasantly enough by
the Pierre Degeyter Club Quartet
and the Italian Workers Club
Chorus. Nor must we fail to men
ton the amusing stunt of the New
Dance Group to boost the sale of
the New Theatre magazine.

WORLD Of THE
MOVIES
Cagney in a MIR Strike
THE ST. LOUIS KID, a Warner
production, with James Cagney,
at the Strand.
Reviewed by
DAVID PLATT

NO ONE can handle the police
~ force like James Cagney. Not
even Chaplin. They never know
when he's kidding them until it's
too late. Maybe that's why most of
Cagneys time in "St. Louis Kid
is spent behind the bars of a town
that has been hard hit by the milk
trust, for whom Cagney and his
friend Allen Jenkins do the truck
driving.
And thereby hangs tale that
for a moment looked as if it was
going to be an important story
about how the farmers, led by Gag
ney, outwitted the milk bosses and
their hired thugs. But no ,ch
luck. 1t soon gets of the track
and stays of, with ell honors to
the inin1itable James Cagney for
trying to set it straight. He tries
hard-but the picture is against
him all the time, lively and anus
ing as it is, what with Cagney's
head-butting and Patricia Ellis
face-slapping tactics all through the
evening.
For once, however, the farmers
are shown with some truth and
militancy in them. They actually
look as if they mean business on
the picket line until the armed
thugs start riding the milk through.
Then what might have been an in
tereSting social analysis becomes an
unbelievable underworld shocker.
Somewhere in the middle of the
him Cagney and Jenkins are or
dered-against their Will-to haul a
load of milk through the lines set
up by the farmers against the
bosses. AS result, they are mauled
by the farmers, sentenced to Jail by
the magistrate friend of the farm
erS, and fired from their Jobs for
befriending the farmers. Later one
of the militant picketers is killed
by milk thug and Cagney is held
for murder. The rest of the story
is banal. Cagney escapes the
clutches of the law, finds the
villain, thumbs his finger at the
milk trust, gets back in the good
graces Of the farmers, marries the
heroine-and fade out!
One Of these days Cagney NAV
md a film really worthy of his
talent!

JUST one glimpse of Grace Moore

altogether in films with titles like

presence, personality or voice. One

Il AIDES Money" is built up on
II the theory that if the situation
Of one married couple where the
wife's work supports the family and
the man does the housekeeping and
dreams, is funny, then three such
couples presented in one evening
under the same roof of a theatrical
rooming house ought to be three
times as funny.
For good measure, Mr.. Abbott
has also thrown in a seduced vir-
gin, horrible stabbing with a but
cher knife, horse race and a per-
sons life which depends on it,
deus ex maehina" by the name of
Mr.. Ginzberg, and a two-story set
showing four rooms, the Railways
and stairways of the house.
1t is needless to add, I suppose,
that all ends happily and for the
best in the last two minutes of the
third act, with the husbands going
to work in the same department
store where their wives are en-
ployed-Mr. Ginzberg's.
The people of Mr.. Abbott's play
are primarily unemployed actors
and vaudevillians. Some day, I
would like to take the author of
Ladies' Money" by the hand and
show him how the unemployed
actors and vaudevillians are &C
tually living in this fifth year of
the crisis. If the critics think the
rooming house which Courtney
Burr had built on the stage of the
Ethel Barrymore is unpleasant and
characteristic enough, I would like
them to see some of the rooms in
the cheaper boarding houses in the
theatrical district, where the pro
fessionsl" is starving in the grand
manner on the four meals a week
provided by the Actors Dinner Club,
while he waits to be evicted for
non-payment of rent.

A Wrong Practice.

This newspaper has been asked to
all attention to a provision of law that
apparently is unknown to some. II is
relative to the signing of petitions nom
mating candidates for office. Section
GIG of the Revised Codes of Montana,
1921, says in part: "No person must join
in nominating more than one person
for each office to be filled" Section
$50 says: ANY person or persons VIC
lating the provisions of this act :
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be pun-
ished by fine Of not less than $50
nor more than $3.50, or by imprison-
ment in the county jail not less than
aree months nor more than IL months
Or by both such fine and morrison
ment, in the discretion Of the court"
This prohibition and heavy penalty
is unknown to many and in some in
stances they have signed nominating
petitions for two or more persons can
didates for the same office.
