SNciypOuy happy DII IIlludy, the
stage brfstles with excited performers,
all doing their best to make this week
the success that such a splurge of
things and people deserve.
You can dismiss Joe E. Browns new
film. "Six-Day Bike Rider" with a
laugh or two and the realization that
you have probably never seen so much
concentrated bike riding latter awhile
we began to wish for a horse. Mr.
Brown is Mr.. Brown-and Maxine
Doyle is Maxine Doyle-neither of
them doing more than customary.
However, Miss Doyle, back from
Hollywood all smiles, little flesh, pert
and attractively subdued. will surprise
you on the Stage-just as Audrey Sic
ber does in that unexpected dance.
Maxine sings little and dances lit
tie, and proves that when little girl
goes out into the world to make good
she not only must smile-but study as
well. The audience welcomed her
back to what she must now call her
home town" with enormous enthusi-
asm-so much so that one noted local
scribe was observed sitting in a cor
ner brushing away a tear-so stirred
was he by Maxines homecoming.
Guy Kibbie, who logically should
be the star this week, modestly steps
into second place in honor of Miss
Doyle, although the roar that he got
when he came out onto the stage in
dicated in what esteem he is held.
Mr.. Kibbie's act is very slight. He
doesn't. however, have to do much
being blessed with one of the most
ingratiating personalities on the
screen. You will be glad just to see
him smoke a cigar, hear him crack
a very old joke, and give him a great
big hand as he walks off:
The stage has many more items of
note. Paul Ash, who by now has
cut down his introductions and
learned what is what (Which he didn't
at the first show introduces the ex-
cellent Tom Gentry Orchestra; a lit
tie girl who should go places called
Ginger Pearson; some Sara Mildred
Strauss dancers, who almost walk into
you lap as they come down that
ramp; George Freems, who is almost
as good as George Arliss; Duf1n and
Draper, roughhouse dancers, who also
should be going places-and a Cali
fornia baritone. with especially po-
tent low notes, Lou Barrison.
You will also find that there are
gentlemen parading around on stills,
quartets of young ladies kicking up
their heels, fine Paul Ash arrange
ment of Bing Crosby's songs-and the
above mentioned Audrey Seiber, who's
dance is one of the welcome surprises
of this affair. Occasionally you will
find some pretty poor stuff. But on
the whole land we hear the show has
been shortenedD we should think most
of this would give the Earle Theater
a very happy birthday. Thank you!

Although you become impatient with
the so-called pot every now and
again, and wonder when the time is
coming for Alice Brady to settle down
and stop that insane giggling,: the film
has far stronger points than otherwise,
and you can forgive its failings when
the music is turned on and Astaire'S
feet start their action.
You have heard. of course. about
that new Continental number, which
the producers have plugged to the
skies. You have heard, and rightly,
that it is good (although not one-half
so potent as the "cariocaO. You
have heard that there is a number
called KNOCK K-neeZ," which dread
full title may be forgiven since the
knees belong mostly to that splendid
actor, Edward Everett Horton. You
have heard that Ginger Rogers is a
WOW and that Eric Blore's waiter
scenes are a howl But-one thing
you may not have heard-and that is
that the dance that Astaire and Miss
Rogers do to Night and Day. is the
most perfect exhibition of rhythmic
grace and whatnot that any stage or
screen has ever revealed.
This dance is not done with the
scenic embellishments and the myriad
limbs that add glamor to the 'conti-
mental" Dozens of handsome paired
dancers do not come out in bathing
togs and pajamas and get snarled up
in magnificent hodge podge. Nor is
there that continual embracing
throughout, which is the main reason
for the popularity of the Cont
mental"
1t is a quiet, we'll ordered dance
becoming informal only when the
participants jump over sofas and
chairS-and its beat and taps are
so perfect, and its music so true, that
you can almost believe that Mr.
Astaire and Miss Rogers are dancing
before you in your home parlor.
Next to this number is Astaire's
Needle in a Haystack," which seems
to have improved since the days when
he danced it on Broadway. Other
than that, there are small armies of
good looking girls. considerable humor
supplied by that ace nitwit. Mr.
Horton; Eric Blore, who mutters
"crumpits' with excellent feeling, and
Ginger Rogers, who does as we'll as
any good dancer could to keep up
with Astaire.
The music and Astaire's dancing
put this well up among musical films.
1t is no bombshell-but it is probably
as agreeable a thing of its kind as
you'll find this season.

Amos n Andy, Charles Correll and
Freeman Gosden to you, are known
TO perhaps more citizens of the United
States than any other team in the
show business. They have set all
manner of records for longevity, con-
tinuity and Whatn0t, surprising even
their we'll wishers by their vocal ver-
satility and ability to invent new
twists for an endleSsly unchanging
scene.
Some of these mysteries are par
TALLY and pleasantly explained by
their appearance this week at the Fox
where they are presented without
blackface in one of the most diverting
turns seen around the town in weeks.
Their act is based on revelation of
the teams broadcaSting tricks, show
ing the origins and evolution of
Brother Crawford, Kingf1sh, Lightnin
and the rest of their troupe. AS all
good mimicS should, these young men
warm to their audience and have it
sitting comfortably in the palm of their
hands a few minutes after they come
on. AS a matter of personal prefer
ence we'd choose to encounter the
gentlemen in question on the boards
rather than on the air.
The remainder of the stage bill in
cludes a clever ballet comique, Of
fered by Alexander and Santos, who
mix really excellent terpischore with
some deft ribbing of the same: Stone
and Lee, comedians, and the Stewart
Sisters and Chester Fredericks, a
versatile trio, apt to break into any
sort of routine, almost uniformly good.
The manufacturers of Have a
Heart" the film of the week, ap-
parently were determined to make a
lot of people tear their bleeding Irish
hearts out over the woes of one Flah-
erty, ice cream salesman, and his
little crippled sweetheart. They have
plastered every known trick of hokum
all over the silver sheet in an effort
to Jerk tears and more tears, but sue
ceeded only in bringing forth some
rather Saccharin stuff.
There are genuinely appealing ele-
rrentS in the Butler-De Sylvia story,
but the film people sidestep them in
favor of mere fireworks. Happily the
crimes this story perpetrates against
the abilities of Jean Parker and the
newer, latter Jimmy Dunn are offset
by two excellent comedy roles built
up for Stuart Erwin and Una Merkel.
Miss Merkel, who is always an odds
on bet for good performance. troupes
merrily through the role of friend and
companion to the unhappy heroine.
who falls off a balcony during a pre-
nuptial celebration, breaks her knee
and is condemned to be more or less
an invalid until she can raise enough
funds to get 1t all fixed again. Her
first flance skips out on her and she
next becomes involved with Peddler
Flaherty, who sells heart-shaped ice
cream gadgets on the street and gives
them away to kids.
Thereafter it is all very complicated
and, because of Miss Merkel and Mr..
Erwin, we repeat, occasionally ex-
tremely funny. 1t is, in fact, almost
possible to give the picture a strong
recommendation. simply to encourage

one of the more promising younger
actresses in Hollywood. Have a Heart"
