"Here Comes the
Navy"
RGtinQ: Splendid

Rating: Splendid
Produced by Warner Brothers. Star
ring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien.
Directed by Lloyd Bacon. Story by
Ben MarksOn. Screen play by Ben
MarksOn and Earl Baldwin. Photo
Eraphed by Arthur EdesOn. Super
Vised by Lou Edelman.
Using the tried-and-true for
mula which brought Metro-G Gold,
wyn-Mayer so much success in
exploiting the Army, Navy and
MarineS-and the same smart
alec system that both made and
broke William Haines, Warmers
burst forth with a dramatic and
exciting comedy bombshell of
entertainment.
Aided to a great extent by the
United States Navy, the film
proves to be a vastly interesting
travelogue with a typical Cap
tain Flagg and Sergeant Quirt
biff and bang argument routine
between Cagney and O'Brien.
Cagney is awfully tough-and
swell. Ditto for Pat O'Brien and
Lloyd Bacon's direction.

Adrienne Ames The new arti-
ficial bay will give Hollywood an
ocean play place half an hour
from town and about IS minutes
from Malibu Beach and a new
spree of boat buying is expected
among the film players. Dick
Arlen, Douglas MacLean and
many others of the craft-owners
will move their yachts and cruis-
ers from San Pedro to the har-
Dor when it is finished.
Among those who will join
Gary Cooper's yacht club are
Bruce Cabot and Adrienne Ames,
Johnny Weissmuller and Lupe
Velez. Bing Crosby is another.
He got the bug after jaunt with
Dick Arlen in his 42-foot cruiser.
Others in the Paramount lot in
line for the Cooper yacht club
are Cecil B. DeMille, Evelyn
Venable, who shippers sailing
ships; Boris Petroff, Buster
Crabbe and Carl Brisson. They
all own boats or are about to buy
them.
First to send in his applica-
ton was w. C. Fields, who owns
a row boat which he uses to row
across Toluca Lake to his golf
club. He met the first objection
that his boat should be engined
by offering to install Tammany
Young, his stooge. as the motive
power.
Gary Cooper's star boat will be
delivered in a few weeks. After
learning the finer points of sea-
manship, he will buy a bigger
craft.
