But some of them remain. These are

F1ossie isn't seen around the corner of the

with her gayety, her camaraderie, her dancing
energy.
Maybe Flossie is back in the q. s. A. No
body around Montparnasse appears to know
what has become Of her.

might ask. Surely somebody among those

the National Theater a chance to
enjoy the real humor of legend.
localized romance gave way before
the rush of that whimsical type OF
buoyance that creates for the child
audience a feeling. of good natured
satire.
This spirit is especially to be found
in the legends of our own language,
and gives to the well remembered
person of the nursery book a noisy
welcome whenever his odd type of
conducting himself is unfolded before

Dick Wilmington and His Cat" as
a Christmas offering, carried with it
the even greater holiday exaggera ton
of humor and personal satire that
attaches to its long history. The cat
was manufactured but all the rest of
the frolicsome band was represented
in the persons Of several leading actors
OF the New York organization.
Among the performances that
would attract the critical eye were
those of Wendell Whitten as Jack
Wilmington, Janet Burt as the mer-
chants daughter. John M O'Connor
as the sea captain, Dorothy Slaytor
as Susan the cook, Marion Albert as
the scullery boy and Philippa Bevans

'F0RSAKING ALL OTHERS
REMAINS AT THE PALACE
Farce With Joan Crawford, Clark
Gable, Robert Montgomery
and Charles Butterw orth.

The boisterous WITNESSES and farci-
cal inanities of 'Forsaking All Others"
remain at the Palace, and probably
will remain there for while unless
the likes and dislikes of movie-goers
take a sudden change.s
For M-G-M's Four Horsemen Of
Farce-Crawford. Gable, Montgomery
and Butterworth-have made a film
as entertaining as 1t is improbab Bile
and as filled with laughs as it is
lacking in solidity-the sort Of q film
which draws customers to the ticket
window and then sends them out
of the theater recommending what
they have seen. 1t has sparkling and
occasionally insulting (to the partic-
ipants, not the audience) lines and
cleverly contrived situations. most
notable Of which is the instance
wherein Joan Crawford gets stranded
at the altar. That is absolutely the
wrong place to strand Joan Craw-
ford.
1t matters not that the dramatis
personae of 'Forsaking All Others
are SO sophisticated to the point
Of being smart alecks that you would
resort to vigorous mayhem were you
to meet them on Connecticut avenue,
for they are tenants of a farce and
you will find few farces populated by
persons like the family next door.
(Of course, the family next door to
you may be the exception) At any rate
Crawford. Gable. Montgomery and
Butterworth. with help from some
others, manage to pack plenty of en-
tertainment into an hour and Is
minutes or so.
Charles Butterworth. one Of Holly
woods ace fllm-thefters. steals this
picture also, his inimitable drolleries
being responsible for most of the
more dizzy Of string of dizzy mo-
ments. Robert Montgomery plays a
gay smarty and a likable cad in q
gay and likable manner and his team
mate, Clark Gable, balances an ice
bag on his head and spanks Joan
Crawford with a hairbrush in true
Gable style Miss Crawford has much
fun with her role. and she Is beau
ttful and not beautiful on different
occasions. Billie Burke-a young and
handsome Billie-does what little she
has to do eXcellently. W. S. van Dyke
directed with a happy touch. H. M.
