FRED ASTAIRE'S dancing continues
to be the most popular sport on
Fifteenth street. AS the hoofng star
of THE Gay Divorcee,' Astaire puts
life into one of R-K-O's best musical
comedies and become Immediately one
of Hollywood'S most popular young
men. He is aided in this by a grand
musical score. Ginger Rogers, who
trips after him as we'll as anybody
probably could; two very amusing
Erics eric Blore and Eric Rhodes)
and lot of ve:y pretty girls who do
something called KNOCK Knees"
with that ace comic, Edward Everett
Horton.
1t is time that Mr. Horton got what
is coming to HMM nice way. For
some lnexplicable reason he can pro-
woke laugh without doing more than
stand as straight and as dumb as fir
tree. Personally, we think he is the
funniest man in the movies-and he
plays rings around such an expert
actress as Alice Brady, who should
stop once and for all from playing
those scatter-brained, fat-head women.
Mr.. Astaire's dancing, Miss Rogers
looks, the music, that dance to Might
and Day." the much-plugged Con
tinental' number and Mr.. Blore say
ing "Whamsical" are definite reasons
why you will enjoy this film. But go
early, if you don't want to sit on some
body's lap.

in Pursued" an Entertain

Another movie villain who Is good

an up-and-coming young actress who
appears to be going places in cinema
land put enough punch in Pursued"
to make it pack more Of an entertain
ment wallop than the title and cast
would indicate. The picture is at
Loew's Columbia.
Victor Jory, with his hair plastered
around his forehead la Noah Beery,
greasy smirk and maddening drawl
demands nothing less than any good
bad mans applause-hisses; and in
case you are not familiar with Miss
Rosemary Ames, who reminds one Of
Marlene Dietrich and Loretta Young.
as far apart as the two may seem, be
about what it's all about. and that's
more than many players do.
AS Mona, casino entertainer at a
seaport of Borneo, where wild women
gold dig in the land the wild man
make famous, Miss Ames emulates a
lady Samaritan by taking in an
American Russell Hardie), left dying
on her doorstep after being waylaid
by hirelings of Beauregard Victor
Jory). During his convalescence, the
two fall in love despite the handicap
of temporary blindness on his part,
caused by a blow over the head.
The scenes in which Mona pretends
to her blinded lover that she is every
thing she is not give Miss Ames
splendid opportunities to trot out her
ability, and she skips nary an oppor-
tunity.
Hardie lends a youthful sincerity
to his role of an American who has
come to Borneo to take over his dead
fathers island plantation in face of
the sinister opposition Of Jory, who
has established himself as ruler Of
the island. Mr.. Jory also has de-
signs on Mona, but be that as it may,
it all ends on a happy key after one
grand fight.
Several shorts, including a comedy
and the usual newsreel, complete the

GRACE MOORE FILM
AT METROPOLITAN
zone Night of Love" to Remain
in Downtown for An
other Week.

When Miss Grace Moore trium-
phantly reached the end Of that last
aria in Madame Butterfly" last night
the audience at the Metropolitan
burst into applause That's the power
Of the voice and personality which
make "One Night of Love-" which is
to remain downtown for another week,
the grand entertainment it is and one
Of the finest films of the year.
The story of "One Night of Love" is
a simple one. 1t portrays Miss Moore
as the lass who loses a radio audi
ton, but sets forth for Italy to study.
There she meets, Unexpectedly and
after some struggling to get along,
with the greatest of operate voice
teachers, as played by Tullio Carmi-
natl. American suitor Lyle Talbot
enters the scene to attempt to lure
Miss Moore away from the arduous
training. She Is almost lured once,
returns, then leaves her tutor again
to almost flop in her New York debut,
but everything works out all right.
Simple, but done in a handsome and
highly effective manner.
AS Miss Moore's teacher and ulti-
mate lover. Mr. Carminati IS excellent.
His vibrant portrayal is another i'm
portant reason why "One Night OF
Love" is the thoroughly enjoyable film
it is. The leading players are assisted
by the fine performances of Luis AL
berni as Carminati's volatile pianist
assistant, and Jessie Ralph as Ange-
lima. Miss Moore's lady-in-waiting
Mona Barrie performs smoothly as
the feminine menace.
The only thing at all wrong with
"One Night of Love" is the title, which
would be much more apt on almost
any other picture, but everything else
is right" The only point left to be
cleared up Is this: Who in the world
won that radio addition Grace Moore
lost? h. NJ.

sibly will not draw a full breath until
he returns the gems to the safe from
which he took them.
Professional Hollywood knows little
or nothing about the 38-year-old
Hollywood extra, Rafael Lopez de
Onate, who has captured the 19-year-
old heart Of Ellen McAdoo. His film
operations have been small, yet, be-
cause every one who gets into pic
ture as atmosphere Immediately is
dubbed film actor, he comes into the
category.
Postponement Of the wedding plans
of the two and a deep silence from
all concerned in the matter would
lead one to believe that, even if De
Onate proves his contention that he
is a full-blooded Spaniard, the we'd
ding might still not come of, due to
financial difficulties.
Ruth Chatterton tells me that most
of the things she has played on the
stage are sadly outdated already. She
has reread some of the Barrie stuff
and finds it pretty well identified with
the past. I'm afraid to read Mary
Rose" she told me, Il don't want to
find it hopelessly dated. But some
one whose opinion value highly tells
me that it is not available for present
use."

a sweet German girl Before she was
imported to the Russian court as bride
of the quaint and idiotic Grand Duke
Peter. What with all the fur hats,
the gargoyles and the Empress Eliza
beth, however, demure little Cath
crime was thoroughly disillusioned.
Every time she tripped through the
stately palace halls, she saw the
shadows of some gargoyle or other
leering in the light. signifying no good
intentions of any one. Depressed,
perhaps, by the poor state of sculp-
ture in Russia, she conSoled herself
with political ambitions, guardsmen
and toying with wells.
She became bored with her spouse
Peter and his pop-eyed antics with a
brace and bit, boring holes all over the
house. She was annoyed by the rep
rehensible manners of Count Alexei,
who made love to her and then slipped
off for rendezvous with Empress Eliza
beth. So GATHERINGS heart hardened,
and all her strange conduct thereafter
is explained away by the film people
as the mere alterations of a sorrowful
soul.
When Peter unsubtely demonstrated
the particular method by which he
would like to be rid of her, Catherine
observed it was high time for action.
So, while she went galloping around
in mad circles followed by lot of
cavalry, one of her lovers throttled
the unhappy Tsar. Then the cavalry,
surely trained by Bill Robinson, put
its horses up and down stairs, rode
pell-mell through the palace halls and
somehow brought the picture to an
end on a note of magnificence,
triumph and despair. This, we as
sure you, is as much as we could do
in deciphering the eerie symbolism,
the meaningful mud models and
other paraphenalia of Mr.. Won Stern
berg's story. Told with abandon and
rich pretense, the film almost shames
Mr.. DeMille's goat milk movies, strik-
ing new high in the art of bedeck-
ing and beclouding the issue.
Miss Dietrich is invariably lovely in
her bows before the camera. although
she lacks any suggestion of the hearty,
vulgar and competent Catherine re-
cent historians have built in our
minds In the Dietrich version the
empress turns out to be a beautiful
doll, behaving in the grand manner OF
q light opera star rather than queen.
Sam Jaffe is, Of course, properly
maniacal as the Grand Duke Peter,
while John Lodge growls and looks
much more fierce than his Boston an

A George Arliss film may be enjoyed
by merely concentrating on its star.
However, in this case your patience is
taxed by an uninterrupted series of
family reunions in which Edna May
Oliver bawls, Miss Henry smiles, Miss
Janet Beecher looks neither one way
nor another, Frank Albertson looks
like he always looks, and Mr.. ArliSs
pouts, licks his lips, frowns and then,
at sight of Miss Henry, wrinkles him
self into smile.
The best of the picture comes when
ArliSs is dead. This is not however
the end of him. He has prepared a
cinema version of his will, speaking
his own words from the screen instead
of from the other world, and leaving
his miserable brother without so much
as penny, while he tosses his fortune
into Miss Henry's lap.
