ing out of production. He Is. now
seen at the Metropolitan in the book
play based on w. r. Burnett's novel,
Dark Hazard" which is favored
with popularity.
In these stirring incidents, he is
associated with Genevieve Tobin,
whose ability enables her to make an
excellent partner for the man who is
never quite able to escape from his
early environment as master
gambler. Lighter phases of the story
are presented by the vivacious Glenda
Farrell, and the offering is one that
should interest theater audiences.
Action on the race tracks always gives
force to such story. partly because
the cameraman is able to make the
whole background realistic, and to
give the truthfulness that has never
been possible on the stage. The trio
Of featured members of the cast is a
capable group of we'll trained enter
tainers, and all contribute to a we'll
rounded piece of work
1t is especially interesting to watch
the various transitions of the chief
featured member of the company, as
he undergoes the experiences of the
confirmed gambler, who has had the
taste OF success, while he fights the
battle for a return to normal life.

Today Hollywood is up against a
similar difficulty. The nice big fat
gals needed to background Mae West
in 1T Amt No SIM" just can't be
found. They must be big-and
curvacious-and pretty good looking.
You see they must make Mae appear
curvacious. beautiful and alluring
when she stands out in front of them.
So they must eXaggerate her charms
by showing the more obvious in COM
parison.
They are to be the chorus In q
burlesque show of the 90s. Beef trust
types. Well {. . it's not impossible to
get a group of Founders out here,
but our average girl eligible for
cinema weighs ITO.
There is a growing tendency to ex-
press in print the idea that Mae West
is skidding in popular approval. It
is practically impossible to base your
allure on the very basic appeal of
Mae West and keep it living at fever
pitch forever. Nevertheless this
charmer has done pretty well, reviving
ostrich feathers, hips, and some other
long-neglected features of theater
entertainment.
La Mae is scheduled to make two
pictures a year for Paramount for
the next four years. Either the studio
will be stuck with a player whose
accoutrements will not survive such
a lengthy ballyhoo, or the player may
develop versatility 'and go in for
something with a more soulful appeal
Enny-hoo, our public likes everything
different in a very hearty and spon-

suffer you'll like the film which
opened yesterday at the Earle. The
plot is bit too mental for comfort,
and Miss Chatterton IS, of course,
continually uncomfortable. Never
theless, if you are interested in Paris
Grand Guignol, or in Edgar Allen
Poe. or in some of the better crop
OF current crime fiction, you'll be
pleased to see Miss ChattertOn get
it in the neck because she has
killed the rival for her husbands
affection, and you'll have time to
ruminate on what an awful little
creature she is and wonder why nus
band, Adolph Menjou, doesn't soak
her in the jaw.
All of this, however, the star and
Mr.. Menjou perform as though the
situations were the most natural in
the world. Mr.. Menjou sits back
and, for revenge watches his pretty
wife go to pieces before his very eyes
-muttering all the while sweet words
to the effect that she's going to die
and that he'll be there at the killing,
and eating long silent meals while
the waiter passes long silent trays.
Miss Chatterton's transformation
from a rollicking, yet jealous wife,
into a sad, dispirited kind of
maniac, is done very well indeed, even
though the role is akin to those
lachrymose things which hurried
Tallulah Bankhead into oblivion. We
don't dare mention that perhaps the
Warner Brothers. who have not had
an easy time with Miss Chatterton,
got their revenge by placing her in
such a dreary role. Yet, such
thought is occasionally uppermost, in
spite of the fact that she rises to
some very serviceable heights.
Every one else in town seems to
think that this is one of Miss Chat
terton's best pictures. so We are prob
ably wrong Still, such morbid
goings-on don't seem to us to be par
ticularly necessary to the screen.
THE Rimacs and Sngin' Sam are
L swell this week on the Earle'S
stage program But We don't blame
that lady for walking out on Irving
Edwards. We have somehow always
imagined that customers who go to
q theater should be spared the en-
barrassment of having to cope with
vaudeville wit thrust at them over the
footlights Mr.. Edwards humOr IS all
right when it keeps within the tradl-
tional limits of the stage. When,
however. it gets Qiterally) beyond
him. it is time to call it a day.
Singin' Sam received a young ova-
ton when he walked out on the stage
yesterday and his program is well
balanced with new songs and old
songs. The Rimacs are as red hot as
ever, offering carioca which prob
ably goes Flying Down to Rio one

MISS ANN HARDING, one of the

has a babe, as the saying goes, in

into the lap Of some unknoWns be-
cause its father has left her without
a wedding ring. Miss Harding is very

this role, although 1t is the sort OF
film which ladies will find very much
Evening star., 1934-03-10

to their liking 1t has excellent dia-
logne, smart photography and some
grand acting by Miss Harding Qf her
voice doesn't disturb you; by Tullio
Carminati, who is rapidly getting to
be one of the screens best players;
by Otto Kruger, as a nice young hus-
band; by young Dickie Moore and by
Give Brooke, who appears as an un-
shaved and bibulous bounder who in
variably pops up at the right moment
and invariably finds Miss Harding
sitting in the park.
The above is probably a frivolous
and unjust account of a film which
is really pretty good, although we
couldn't help wishing that its star,
for whose talents we have every ad-
rniration, would break down and not
be quite so good Since Miss Harding's
public, however, wishes her to be good,
and since it seems impossible for her
to be bad, the film presents its mes
sage with charm and imagination
the theme of a mother without her
babe being warmed over again pleas
antly by Sam Mintz.
Miss Harding is loved in this, not
only by her neo-husband, who is an
aviator and meets his death before
her very eyes; but by Mr.. Brooke,
who proposes to her every time he
gets back from one of his four-year
boat trips; by Mr.. Carminati, whose
fiery emotions prompt him to follow
her from Paris to New York, and
by Otto Kruger, who, fortunately,
has adopted Miss Hardings little boy.
The ending is a blending of true
virtue, since Mr.. Kruger is an able
young man and Miss Harding has
learned what it is to be a successful
interior decorator. Between them. as
the curtains come to a close, you can
imagine uneXampled prosperity and
a great deal of happiness, and you
have the feeling that that excellent
young actor, DiCkie Moore will grow
up to be a very fine young man.
Nice, sentimental stuff this-and
should be enjoyed by large audiences.
The fact that Miss Harding is a mite
too good shouldn't deter you from
seeing 1t.
4 S to the stage show-a word of
congratulations first to Henry
Nestor and Evelyn Tyner, whose
debut yesterday in the vaudeville
racket was an agreeable and welcome
surprise. Mr.. Nestor has a voice that
is stout and true and fills the theater
to the brim. AS soon as he learns
not to skip beat here and there, he
should be top-notcher. Miss Tyner,
too, knows how to handle the keys,
and she accompanies Mr.. Nestor with
dash and vim as well as playing her
own solo attractively Here's wishing
these neophytes luck and long life.
