All Star Show
At tHoWard

Lucky Millinder. that little dy-
manic personality of jazz baton
swingers, is back in town.
With his Mills Blue Rhythm
Band, the leader of many of the
Cotton Club parades opened as
the featured attraction on the
Howard Theater bill for this week
yesterday.
AS usual, Lucky and his boys
tune up in grand style with jazz
syncopation. They leave nothing
undone, going from the jungle
strains of Harlem to light SYM
phonic music. Edgar Hayes at the
piano, Chuck Richards, the golden
voice baritone, and Red, the king
of trumpeters, remain the high
light attractions of the band.
An unusually good show is aug
mented with the band. Maude
Russell, seldom seen here, leads the
chorus II some pleasing-tohear
numbers and is ably assisted by
Gypy Rocco, deep baritone.
Charles Wilder, a hoofer, gets a big
hand, while Bessie Smith, one of
the early day Blues singers, brings
back memories of the old days.
Wilton Crawley, contortionist, is
just about the riot of this end of
the bill. With a clarinet and
some unusual acrobatic stunts on
his head, the fellow is about the
best seen here at the T Street house
for many a moon. Crackshot
Hackley and Gallie de CASTOR
handle the blackface comic end
of the show.
On the screen Jackie Cooper is
featured in "Dinky." Tonight
there will be midnight show.

A large crowd Of taxpayers
greeted Thanks A Million" at
Loew's Palace last night.
It's safe bet, too, that no one
Of the crowd objected to having
paid the tax necessary to view his
Wise-cracking, faSt-moving musical
satire on Government and politics.
AS the man seated behind this re-
viewer said at the pictures con-
cluSion: This kind of stuff is
worth anybody's money"
All of which proves that poll
ticians and statesmen should get
together and think up ways and
means of making the citizens
happy. Thanks A Million" shows
that it can be done.
Full Of Tunes
And how do they do it? Well,
first by nominating for a States
governor a wholesome, fair and
square, singing chap named Dick
Powell; second, by electing Fred
Allen as his campaign manager;
third, by supplying The Yacht
Club Boys, Patsy Kelly, Raymond
Walburn, Rubinoff and Ann
Dvorak as de luxe governmental
aides.
Equip them all with lines and
situations as speedy as a trans
continental flier, with only an oc-
caSional slow down for excess dia-
logue, and music as tuneful as a
Gershwin Rhapsody and you have
the answer.
It's original, naturally. Having
a group of almost stranded actors
enliSting their services for q cam
paign to elect a governor. Ray
mond Walburn is the nominee but
he imbibes too freely one night
and Dick Powell has to deliver the
speech instead.
From then on Dick is the party's
choice and the peoples, too. How
could he help but be with a song
at every rally and only a 80 Sec
onds' length oratory?
Fred Aliens Debut
If there were more musicals like
this one Hollywood wouldn't have
to worry. And if every radio come
dian clicked like Fred Allen and
every comedienne were a Patsy
Kelly the movie magnateS could go
out and play golf all day. And,
again, how often is it that a sing
ing quartet like the Yacht Club
Boys can wham 'em and make a
movie audience applaud the way
they do here? Even Rubinoff
makes you feel he'll become a
movie star in this swell picture.
You don't frequently get three
hit tunes in one production. But
this time you do. Here they are:
Thanks Million" High on a
Hill Top" and Sugar Plum"
Paul Whiteman and band do a
number, too, with Ramona, called
Lady From New Orleans" It's
all right.
There should be more short sub
jects like The Perfect Tribute"
which heads the surrounding pro-
gram. It's impressive and beauti-
full and "Chic" Sale is pictorially
a fine Abraham Lincoln. There's
also a short newsreel and Gang
sters of the Deep" which is a
brief. exciting treatise on catch
ing sharks and whales.
In summary, to Loew's Palace
this week, the public can happlly
say, Thanks a Million"

ing clothes is unquestioned, there
has been always some doubt, at
least in this reviewers mind, of
Kay Francis capabilities as a
dramatic actress. This doubt has
been d!spelled after seeing the
glamorous Kay in Il Found Stella

tional appeal for women.
Mystery Actress
At the opening of the story
Stella Parish, an American actress,
is the toast Of England. All May
fair turns out for the opening Of
her new play, produced by
Stephen Norman paul Lukas).
An aura Of mystery has been built
up around the actress, apparently
to make her more alluring. She
never appears in public outside of
the theater and never grants in
terVieWs. None knows where she
lives.
The real reason for her aloof.
ness, however, is the fear of hav-
ing her past revealed and of hav-
ing her child find out that she
was born within prison walls, the
daughter of a convicted murder.

The opening night Of her new
show is great success and for
once Stella Parish has promised
to attend q dinner in her honor.
given by her producer, who is also
very much in love with her. But
Stella Parish does not show up at
the dinner. Instead, she sends a
note saying she is forced to leave
London at once.
The disappearance Of the first
actress in England is, of course
First Page sensation. Keith Lock
ridge, ace reporter of one of the
London papers, traces Stella Par
riSh. her daughter and the child's
nurse to a ship where they have
taken passage for America. He
crosses with them, determined to
get the story behind the actress
strange disappearance.
Weeping Episode
The reporters exposure of Stella
Parish wrecks her life and she is
forced to send her child away,
knowing that she is never to see
her again. This is the most touch
ing episode in the drama, and
Kay Francis gets the most out of
it without making the scene too
maudlin. The remainder of the
story deals with Stella Parish's ef-
forts to capitalize her notoriety
and the efforts Of her friends to
restore her to her child and to
her position on the stage.
Ian Hunter is effective as the
enterprising headline hunter, but
Paul LukaS is miscast as the love-
sick theatrical producer. Sybil
Jason is a promising little child
actress.
One of the better bands of the
ether waves provides the musical
background for the stage show at
the Earle this week. The Ted
Weems Orchestra plays some in
teresting arrangements of the
more popular numbers of the day.
Several of the boys in the band
oblige with vocal and solo instru-
mental selections. The audience
seemed to like particularly The
Wreck of the Old 97."

A badly physically beaten
Catholic University football team
hoped to return to outdoor drills
today following a steady rain
yesterday that kept the Cardinal
team secluded in the c. U. gym
Should the elements continue to
be inclement today. the un.
defeated and united Brookland
outfit will board the train to Chi

yesterday had originally been
planned by Coach Dutch Berg
man, but the rain postponed this
heavy drill until today.
Tomorrow at 4:30 o'clock the
c. U. eleven will leave for the
Windy City for the game with
De Paul University. The team
will arrive in Chicago Friday
morning and will work out at
the scene Of Saturdays conflict,
Friday afternoon. The tilt with
De Paul is slated for Soldiers
Field.
Homecoming Game
The game has been set aside
as the De Paul homecoming at
traction, which means that the
Cards will be in for a busy after
noon. Last Saturday the Blue
Demon opponents breezed through
a "breather" with Western State,
19-O, and consequently should be
in fair fettle for the c. U. IN

Just who will be groomed to
fill the positions left vacant by
the injured Cardinal stars has not

bergman. Posts that must be
plugged up with the best possible
material available from the re-
serve ranks include right halfback,
where the brilliant Irish Carroll
cavorted; left tackle, where Capt.
Ed Karpowich lines up, and tull'
back, where the ailing Bob Ma

Likely Subs
It is believed that either Bud

st. Mary's, in the tackle berth.
These lads are all sophomoreS
with the exception Of Glodeck,
and the fact that they have been
riding the bench throughout most
of the games played to date by
the Cards, have given them very
little experience, a prime necessity
for the likes of De Paul.
