"VIKA, VILLA!"
CONTINUES At
THECOLUMBIA
Popular Story of Mexi.
can Affairs Held for
Another Week.

The talents of Author Ben Hecht,
combined with those of Hollywood
Actor wallace Beery, have made of
Mexico's No. bandit, Pancho Villa,
one of the most colorful and swash-
buckling heroes to ever appear on the
screen. Throughout his life this Villa
cut a path of terror through the en-
slaved land of Mexico. Terror for
the terrorists, liberation for the poems.
And Hollywood's version of this life
Is that of rough but gay Lothario
and Robin Hood rolled into one.
The venerable walls of the Colum-
bia shook and reverberated with the
gunf1re Of the bandit guns which Villa
directed, both in the cause of banditry
and in the cause of Francisco MADEIRA,
| who became the martyred President
Of Mexico, when the Loew interests
brought viva, Villa" back to be shown
again. But they withstood the shock
and sent back silent cheers for this
swashbuckler, just as nearly every
one who saw it yesterday did, from
their seats.
Based partly on history, but with
the fiction of Ben Hecht reigning su-
preme, the film unfolds the life Of
Villa in such manner as to make
one wonder that he was not made the
President of the country from the
| first and an international hero-savior
for eternity. Wallace Beery plays this
fiction to the hilt, creating a figure
that will live in the minds of those
who have seen the film.
VILLA hanan h{c Ifa -
from the time he saw the reigning
faction have his father whipped to
death and later hanged in the public
square. Offsetting all the blood and
thunder, time has been given over to
the amours of this gay bandit and
to the almost unbelievable faith and
bond the man put upon friendship.
villa even went so far as to burn
and sack a town because his friend
(Stuart Erwin) during a drinking
bout had reported such to his news
paper. Small banditry might have
been the only career of Villa had it
not been for the love he held for
Francisco MADEIRA, who organized his
flock into an army to overthrow the
ruling power. Afterward Villa was
exiled, only to return with a blood
thirsty mob when he learned MADEIRA
had been murdered. They sacked and
pillaged from the Rio Grande to Mex
leo City, and after Villa had signed
the bill dear to the heart of MADEIRA,
ne retired and was later murdered.
Beery's Characterization of Villa is
upheld strongly by all other principals
who appear with him-Leo Garlic,
as his lieutenant in chief; Fay Wray,
who appears as the girl whose death
he indirectly caused, and Donald Cook,
| brother of the girl and who avenged
her death. j. N. H.

MURDER STORY
HOLDS SCREEN
At KEITH'S
THE Crime Doctor Stars
Otto Kruger as Detective
and Jealous Husband.

If you are one of those persons
who takes his moving picture shows
when he finds them, then pause for
once and consider the hour before
wandering into R-K-O Keith's, where
THE Crime Doctor" is the current
attraction.
Should you strike at random and
hit the murder thriller somewhere
between the fatal shot and the court
room scene. the chicanery of the
ending will be revealed to you before
the continuity can build you up to
the proper state of apprehension.
From the standpoint of the punctual,
THE Crime Doctor" is entertaining,
to say the least. Otto Kruger is
something more than competent. In
succession, he is a relentless detec-
tive, jealous husband. cold-blooded
murderer, a self-sacrihcing idealist
and a trickster. Kruger takes it all
in his stride. Perhaps he is at his
best as the husband whose jealousy
is breaking down his moral values
and crowding him to the outer edge
of sanity. The charm of Karen
Morley helps the audience to SYM
pathize with Kruger'S violent efforts
to hold his wife.
Nils Asther is convincing as the
bachelor author who found himself
facing a jury on a murder charge
while innocent of every crime except
the theft of another's wife. The vic
tim of the murder was a blackmailing
blond called Flynn, among other
things. The smoke of an automatic
happily blots her from the picture
without the more or less painful de-
tails coming to light.
While committing murder Kruger
is as cool as Hardie Meakin's air-con-
ditioning system, although the emo
tional aftermath is almost as tre-
mendous as Max Baer's right when
described by a radio announcer.
The sound news film which accom-
panieS the feature is highly audible.
1t would seem that the news reels
have gone vocal. There were three
speeches on subjects in behalf of
worthy causes. Time was (Within the
memory of some of the oldest inhabi-
tants) when news reels were things
of swift action, but now too often
the action stops when the sound COM
menceS, like Mark TWain'S Mississippi
steamboat that boasted such a big
whistle they had to stop the engine
to blow it. This opinion, however,
may be no more than the twisted
point of view of one who has been fed
too often on table d'hote pie and
oratory.
Another sidelight on Mr.. Meakin's
program is a sound reel trip to the
Worlds Fair, bigger and better than
ever" this year. They seem to have
moved all Europe, including the Swiss
Alps, to the shores of Lake Michigan
Whole towns have been reproduced in
detail, and improved upon in the way
of modern plumbing. The film is a
whole trip to the fair, with sound
accompaniment thrown in. WS.

Essentially the ancient and Oft
used story of the military spy forced
10 choose between love and duty
except that there are two spies and
two duties involved in this one-the
picture somehow rises far above its
trite beginnings and scars off into
glamorous dream of courage, daring,
romance, jasmine and Colonial COL
umns which, let it be confessed, en-
chant us much more than the cur
rent sagas of racketeers and taxi
dancers.
Never in its pictorially splendid and
Intelligently directed course does "Ope-
rator 13" as a cinematic whole reveal
the moderately banal plot structure
which underlies it. Where there are
strong points of suspense and action
in the tale, Richard Boleslavsky has
wrung them to the last drop. In the
weaker moments of his material, he
has CLOSED over the surface skill
fully with atmosphere and clever ar
tifices. In this successful task Marion
Davies, who never before appealed
to us, and Gary Cooper offer admir-
able aid. Their work as Operator
49," the actress who turned into a
Yankee spy, and Capt. Gaylord,
espionage agent for his beloved
South, sub, contributes generously to
the gaiety and sniffles, of nations.
Operator 13" was spy of a differ
ent order from the bizarre Matt Hari
of late Garbo fame. More winsome
than exotic, she devoted herself to
the Union cause in the spirit of ad-
venture, riSking a dangerous game for
the thrill of it. Miss Davies evolves
a pleasing characterization of the
role, fitting its moods accurately ex-
cept on the occasions when her
Southern dialogue is a bit overdrawn.
More important in this picture,
however, than the mere recounting of
her reconnaissance activities, her in
fatuation with the rebel Capt. Gay
lord, and the complications that be-
