NEW SHIVER
PICTURE ON
KEITH BILL
This One Is almost Guar
anteed to Cire You
the "Creeps.''

werewolf Of London" latest con-
tribution to the horror films by Uni
versal Studios, Hollywood's most pro-
life producer of shudder shadowplays,
which now is on display at R-K-O
Keith'S, seems to have all the grim
and griSly details. There are, for
your entertainment, man who
turns to monster. a series of partic-
ularly grueSome killings committed by
the unpleasant chap, and a continual
urge on the part of the monster to
do away with his wife, all punctuated
with screams of the victims and weird
hoWls of the werewolf.
A werewolf, according to one of the
lines in the script, is neither man nor
wolf, but satanical creature with
the worst qualities of both. and there
are a number of characteristics which
are not at all nice, divided between
wolves and men, If the present ex-
hibit Is to be taken as a criterion. BY
the light of the full moon, only. does
the TRANSPORTATION take place, but
when it does there emerges a hor-
rible looking creature. He scares the
very daylightS out of the family cat
and all the wolves at the ZOO. and
chaSeS blonds with all the elan of
Harpo Marx. This werewolf fellow
has to kill one person a night or his
disease will become permanent and
he will bloom all the time instead of
only by the cheerful light of the full
moon. His career is ended, however,
by a well-placed morsel of lead. so
everything ends happily and his wife
goes f1ving with the fellow who pro-
posed to heS when she was years
old.
The legion of addicts of these hair
raising photoplays never seem to worry
over the deftness. or lack of it, with
which the film is constructed. All
they care about is an opportunity to
sit upon the edge of the seat and
tenSely clasp their hands while chills
canter up and down their spines. which
opportunity is plentifully presented in
werewolf of London" The scenario
is clear and cohesive enough to tell its
story. even if it does jump about with
abandon, and the film is swiftly paced
and over almost before you realize it's
halfway through. OF course. there are
deficiencies, but what do they mat
ter-there's a werewolf on the proWl
and he's filled with lust for blood.
The film is played very we'll by a
thoroughly capable cast. Henry Hull,
playing the role of the scientist who
turns to the werewolf, is excellent, even
though he, perhaps. did have a better
opportunity to display his talents in
Tobacco Road" Valerie Hobson.
Warner GLAND, Spring Byington and
Lawrence Grant all perform adeptly.

The besides" came in the form of
three pairs of 'lindy hoppers" These
six dancing demons straight from
Harlem outdid themselves in the kind
of dances that are o. K. for theater
but hardly comfortable for the aver
age dance floor. One of the duSky
performers twirled his partner around
his head; another dropped her none
too gently on the floor, and third
wiggled like well known jelly and
almost throttled his partner in his
enthusiastic .limax But in all these
gyrations the dancers had their audi
ence cheering, whooping and Murray
ing, and to say that the Whiteman
show came to a rollicking end is to
put it mildly.
Some time before this Mr.. White
man had presented the popular Ra-
mona, who is well known already to
Earle audiences, in two solo selections:
A Park Avenue Fancy written by a
member of the orchestra, and well
written. too (his name was not given),
and Bob Lawrence, eX-WaShingtonlan,
whose voice is something TO write
home about. Mr.. Lawrence received a
giant ovation after he had been intro
duced as an oncoming Bing Crosby.
Morton Downey and whatnot-and
In spite of the burden placed on him
by such an introduction, he came
through with flying colors.
Ben Bernie and all his lads should
put in a petition not TO be placed on
the same bill with Mr.. Whiteman.
Their new film, Stolen Harmony" !"
not only comes as anti-climaX after all
the Whiteman music, but it makes the
musical deluge once or twice too
much. Mr.. Bernie'S lads play well
enough in this highly unimportant bit
of entertainment, but they are bur-
dened with a slimmer-than-a story
something about q bus tour and BAN
dts and with such actors as George
Rafters, who, so help me! may be a
good dancer. but has never even be-
gun TO be an actor.
With an Al star and with Mr.
Whiteman not present to take the
wind out of the Bernie sails, Stolen
Harmony" might be effective enter
tainment. AS it stands now it I'M
fortunately isn't. The thing to do in
this case is to take two days off and
see Bernie and Vhiteman separately.
Only be sure to see Whiteman last!

MAE WEST originally called her new

where she got that idea from nobody
knows. But there it is And it is
incorporated into Coin to Town"
now playing at the Palace, in song
which she sings out of one side of her
face and which is as rollicking and
robust as all of her vocal interludes.
Miss West is also as rolicking and
Evening star., 1935-05-25

robust personally as she is in all her
literary jauntS. Her conversation Is
curiouSly many sided and she never
says one thing without meaning two
and three. Depending on how you like
to interpret these sayings will depend
a good deal on how you like the film.
If you think that Mae is still terror
and that she should be whitewaShed
for some of her language then you
will march bravely out of the picture.
But if you believe her to be new
experiment in stage craftsmanship as
also that she occupies a unique niche
in the annals of the theater, then you
can admire her bravado, snikker at
her vocabulary and wish that you had
a member of the family who could so
thoroughly defy all of the conventions.
Coin To Town" Is not by any
means a She Done Him Wrong"
But it is typical Mae West-and that
means Mae West with couple of
strong guys thrown in for good or
bad measure. AS matter OF fact
there are six or seven guys-and she
becomes embroiled with them out

in Southampton. L. l., where she
SUDDENLY cracks out with a mean De-
lilah.
The singing of this Delilah dittie
is the high point of the film. Other

ian complications, a shooting or two.
and many fine clothes. All of which
always have their effect when the
rumors persist that Miss West only
drinks milk. never goes to a prize

OPERETTA STAYS
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
"Naughty Marietta" With Mel
son Eddy and jeanette
Mcdonald, at Columbia.

Music that hath charms to soothe
the savage breast of cinema fans
hath also wiles to lure them in large
numbers to the box Office, as the local
third-week holdover of Naughty
Marietta" will attest. Veteran of a
rousing welcome at the Fox and
vote of confidence in its second week
at LOews Columbia, the most pleas
ant of the current years musicals has
smashed TO smithereens the old prov
erb that said M-G-M couldn't make a
successful song fiesta for the films
With the astute w. S. Van Dyke
welding his directorial baton over two
brilliant voices, the studio evolved
the gayest dab of lyricism emblamed
in celluloid these many months. Some
smart fellow pulled out of hat one
Nelson Eddy, a hitherto neglected
baritone whose voice is stirring and
whose mimicry is acceptable, while
the feminine half Of the duets is sung
by jeanette Mcdonald, next to Grace
Moore the most attractive songster in
the business. Set free from her for
mer unfortunate mannerismS (perhapS
the escape also was effected by Van
Dyke, Miss Mcdonald is a gracious,
even resplendent heroine for the Vic
tor Herbert operetta. The plot is not
much, but the tunes are still in class

strange, for heretofore she had found
the self-revelations of men tiresome.
She told him quite a number of
things about herself-that her par
ents were dead, that she lived here
with her aunt, that she was not en-
gagged.

conversation.
She looked at him dreamily. why,

gan thinking about it. 1t was strange,
their humping together in the rain.
Presently: "I want to make q con-
fession,'' he told her softly.
Startled, she looked up at him, and
then quickly away, for his eyes were
making confession of their own.
I've been eating at Perry's for two
weeks he continued, and she looked
at him in surprise.
"W-why, I never noticed you,"
she said.
II noticed that" He smiled at her
again, and her eyes went quickly back
to the fire.
"The first time I saw you, some
thing clicked" he said softly. II

to figure out some way to meet you,

tice me, just left it up to fate. You
may not believe it, but fate brought
us together this afternoon"
Mona looked up at him then, her
heart missed beat. and she said
softly to herself, "Hurrah for fate!"
Some time later she offered to make
him cup of hot tea. She left the
room and went into the hallway,
headed for the kitchen. And then
she saw his umbrella lying forlornly
on the floor in puddle of water.
She eyed it tenderly for a moment
stopped and picked it up. Her fingers
went over it caressingly-and she
gave a small. startled cry. for some
thing had pricked her finger.
Her eyes went to the tip of the
umbrella, and she saw the small,
sharp pointed nail fixed securely
there. Unfurling the umbrella she
saw the peephole through which he
had been looking as he charged down
on her through the rain.
She hugged the umbrella tightly
against her body, s 1led softly, and
said again, "Hurrah 4or fate!"

of her umbrella high, so that there
might be nothing between him and
her wrath.
why don't you look where you're
going" she cried angrily
She looked down at her umbrella,
thinking morosely of the nickels and
dimes she had saved so long to get
it-and this was just the beginning
of the rainy season. She looked up.
The young man was regarding her
streaming face with woeful eyes. Il
I'm sorry" he apologized. II
wouldn't for the world
And then his eyes went to the tear
in her umbrella. He moved closer and
held his own protectingly over her.
Take mine" he begged. I've
ruined yours"
Mona stared straight into the blue
eyes which asked so humbly for for
giveness-and found herself smiling,
though rather ruefully The young
man matched her smile with one
somewhat broader
You'll never know how sorry I
am" he said. "but accidents will
happen, you know"
She eyed her umbrella sadly. "You
are very destructive young man
sternly.
He took her umbrella. folded it and
thrust it under his arm.
"I1l get you new one in the
morning" he promised. "a bigger
and better one. One that will pro-
tect you from the hardest rain, and
also from destructive young men,"
Mona glanced again at his clean
cut face and found herself smiling.
And wondered at it, for cashiering
in a restaurant had taught her not
to smile at young men. So many of
them seemed to think that friendly
smile was either an invitation or a
promise-or both.
IT couldn't think of letting you buy
me an umbrella" she said primly
Just don't think about it, then, -
he said, grinning, and added: "The
least can do now is to see you safely
and dryly home"
Mona looked down at her dress.
"Safely will have to do I'm afraid"
she added sadly-but not too sadly.
BY the time they reached her home
he was just as wet ss she was, and
she had learned that his name was
Jim Fielding, that he had been in
town only a month, that he was the
manager of a new store, that his
teeth were white and even. and that
he had smile that made you forget
you were wet and chilled to the bone.
At the door he apologized again.
