T EE TRACY, fast-talking, swift
moving screen star, plays the
star role in "Ill Tell the
IL World" now playing at the
Rialto Theater. Mr.. Tracy en-
acts correspondent for a big news
service, and the production, as it un-
folds around the unique personality
Of this unusual star recounts a re-
portorial dash to Europe on the trail
Of political upset that may mean
anything from war to romance. In
this instance, it Is both. Edward
Sedgwick directed the production
which was written by Lincoln
Quarberg and Lieut.. Comdr. Frank
Wead. In the supporting cast are
Gloria Stuart, Roger Pryor. Onslow
Stevens. Alec Francis, Lawrence
Grant, Willard Robertson, Dorothy
Granger and Leon Waycoff. The
Rialto completes this Tracy program
with selected short screen novelties,
together with the latest Universal
News, with Graham McNamee as the
talking reporter.
IN THE Radio Pictures comedy dra-
ma, "This Man Is Nine" at R-K-O
Keith's, Irene Dunno IS seen in an en-
tirely new type of role for her. In this
film, which was directed by John
Cromwell and which is an adaptation
Of the stage success, Love Flies in the
Window" the star appears as a re-
sourceful wife who not only
maneuvers to risk her husband to the
tentacles of a siren, but also fights
to recover him when he becomes a
victim. How the wife teaches her
errant mate an unforgettable lesson
is said to give new and unusual
twist to the story as well as to af-
ford the star an opportunity to dis
play her dramatic talents to the very
best advantage. The supporting cast
includes Constance Cummings, Halph
Bellamy, Sidney Blackmer, Kay
johnson, Charles Starrett, Louis
Mason and Vivian Tobin.
AS a special added attraction Keith's
offers This Is America" a vivid and
dramatic, as we'll as an emotionally
exciting record OF our country and
our people during the past two dec
ades.
Another added feature is the show

Very often these people are right.
1t is quite easy to walk into a cheap

lamentable plays. Jazz music can still
be enormously unpleasant and modern
art is in curious state of being upset
and revolutionary. However, it Is also
true that in certain instances the thea

within their brief lifetime have forged
so rapidly toward a higher level that
even such q loyal theater devotee as
Percy Hammond was able to say last
season that some films are better than

than that, while the radio Is neces-

We think, in other words, that some

speare would get such a shock as he
would have back In the rollicking
post-Shakespearean days, when the
theater was so lewd that 1t had to be
clamped down on. Nor do we think
he would be so chagrined as he would
have been had he arrived in those
days when Ten Nights In a Bar
room" was being presented with great
seriousness as major drama. Granted
that such plays had their effect, that
they moved audiences to tears and
spoke their message with bold en-
thusiasm. AS we look back at them
now we realize that they were theatric
and wooden and that the average pro-
ducer today would probably give them
the go-by.

to say that Mae West is vulgar and
that since she Is the most popular

over movie titles and give them what
Is called the bird" And it isn't
hard job to initiate the various cat
calls that the radio employs, and say
that so far as art" Is concerned, the
radio is stuff and nonsense"
The people who do this are usually
the people who know little about what
they are saying. They are, at any
rate, not familiar with the struggles
going on behind the lines and are
usually satisfied with having learned
from their university days that good
painting should be on the order Of
Titan: that Michaelangelo did well
with ST. Peters dome; that Beethoven
wrote good music and that Shake
speare wrote some pretty good
plays. In the spirit of exultation
for and Of the past they turn
on the radio and imagine that
Beethoven's ears would have sizzled
with indignation; trey look at modern
painting and imagine that Titan
would have curled up and died
