Devil Docs
At Met

Evidently inspired by their ear
lier success, James Cagney and
Pat O'Brien return as the starring
duo in the Warner Brothers
Devil Dogs of the Air" now show
ing at the Metropolitan.
This story of a rockies enlist
ment in the United States Marine
Corps and his subsequent adven-
lures in finding out that life is
not his one long song and dance,
is we'll thought out and capably
directed. All the gallantry and
glamour that goes into this daily
life of the self-styled Devil Dogs
is put before one in an entertain
ing manner. Especial credit is
due the aerial photographer and
the scenes taken at North Island,
the San Diego (CalO base.
Cast as O'Toole, problem child
of the Marine base, James Gag
ney again delivers his breezy guy
type of role that has made him
the popular star that he is today.
His foil, Brannigan, is ably por.
trayed by Pat O'Brien with his
usual hard boiled character as
contrasted with the others cocki"
ness. Margaret Livingston and
Frank McHugh are able sup
porterS to the cast.
A Paramount news reel and the
Shoe String FollieS" complete a
surrounding bill making for worth
while entertainment. D. M.

Grace Moore
Acts Again

Columbia's long-heralded pro-
duction, Grace Moore's second
starring picture, ION Wings Of
Song" went into active production
at the studios this week.
Leo Garlic heads the support
ing cast. After 10 days of voice
tests and additions in which
hundreds of singers were heard,
choruses for the huge musical
numbers have been selected and
rehearsed for the critical ear Of
Victor Schertzinger, who will di-
rect the picture.
Actual recording is under way,
using the hill and dale method
which proved so effective in cap
turing the glorious Moore voice in
zone Night of Love-" Further i'm
provement in the sound recording
system is offered in device which
prevents blasting or overlooking
when the higher notes are
recorded.
Construction of sets and actual
shooting of scenes is now under
way with Schertzinger at the
baton and megaphone.

Held Over

"The Scarlet Pimpernel" began
a second weeks showing yesterday
at Keith's Theater. Leslie How
ard and Merle Oberon assume the
leading roles of this tale of the
cruel days under Robespierre of
France.
Mr.. Howard is an acknowledged
actor of the English stage. Miss
Oberon is a new performer before
American audience. Since the en-
tire dramatic story centers about
the person of the Scarlet Pimper-
mel (Leslie Howard, Of course) to
enjoy this picture one must ad-
mire Mr.. Towards technique.
Alexander Korda has directed,
which in itself is a means of say
ing that no minuteSt detail has
been overlooked, no effect too
difficult to accomplish, resulting
in a very beautifully staged pro-
duction.
A timely release of the awful ef-
fects of the rapid maelstrom in
Europe rushing toward autocratic
rule in so many countries is
enough to set our nation thinking.
The news release and an animated
cartoon, a little below average,
complete the program. H. K.

CoIman Stars
In olive
At Palace

Twentieth Century Pictures has
torn a page from British history
and in so doing has dramatized
one of the most brilliant careers
in the archives of the empire.
"Clive of India" currently at
Loew's Palace, is the story of one
Robert Give, restless clerk in
the office of the East India Com
pany, a privately owned trading
concern which enjoyed govern
ment protection; bored by the ap.
parently fruitless future, young
Robert tried twice at suicide, but
twice the gun damned, and so he
knew that he was destined for
great things.
His chance came when the
French, jealous of the prosperity
of English holdings, attack on an
unguarded front. Transferring
from the clerical force to the mill
tary, Give sweeps over India,
winning by sheer strategy against
tremendous odds.
Hailed as a hero, having had
wealth, honor and position placed
before him, he returns to England,
proud of his conquestS. England
takes him to her heart for while,
soon tires Of him and he returns
to conquer the rebellious North
India. Again fate favors him and
he again returns to England, this
time to settle with his lovely wife
on a country estate. His third
venture fails as his wife pre-
dicted and he returns broken
man to face scandal and public
defeat at the hands of his enemies,
but receives a token of gratitude
from his king.
Ronald Colman, sans muStache,
is a charmingly enegertic gentle
man who snaps out orders in one
moment and leans, in the next mo-
ment, to gently kiss the hand Of
his lovely wife. Loretta Young,
distractingly beautiful in the cos
tunes of the Eighteenth century,
plays the wife with equal charm.
The cast also includes such
names as C. Aubrey Smith, Lums-
Den Hare, Colin Give and Francis
Lister.
Shorts include a riotous comedy
with Laurel and Hardy, delight
full Mickey Mouse cartoon, in
which Mickey is a two-gun hero,
and Metrotone news with Edwin
c. Hill announcing.-K. Y.

Kay Francis Is EarIe's Star in
Livinq on Velvet !

Life lost it's meaning for Terry
Parker when by strange whim
of fate he escaped unscathed in
the airplane crash that cost the
lives Of his father, mother and
sister. His psychological reac.
tons to the tragedy form the
basis of the unusual film, Civ.
ing on Velvet" which is now be-
ing shown at the Earle.
Most people will find this story
extremely interesting, but some
will doubtless look upon it as an
other Hollywood brainstorm. In
any case it is bound to provoke
considerable comment.
After the airplane accident
nothing is heard from young
Parker for a year and then his
name begins appearing in the
headlines in connection with a
series of wild escapades. He pur-
posely disrupts an air circus with
his foolhardy stunt flying
because he doesn't like V forma-
lions. He gets a job in the
airmail and loses it when he
flies the mail to Montreal instead
of Chicago-because he tires of
the old route.
Brent Has Lead
He falls in love with the
fiancee of his best friend. The
girl, played by the stunning Kay
Francis, wants to marry him to
reform him, to fill the void in
the tragedy-stricken life. The
whimsical courtship of the crack
Drained flier is among the most
amusing episodes in the film and
shows Kay Francis at her best.
She gives up everything to marry
this irresponsible Wastrel and, as
was to be expected, he makes
botch of their married life. She
finally decides to give him up as
a bad job.
Many will dislike the conclu-
sion of the story, but it is doubt
full whether any type of happy
ending that could have been
evolved would suit many tastes.
Good Stage Show
George Brent has a difficult
role and gives an impressive per-
Torrance as Terry Parker. Kay
Francis as usual looks very fetch
ing in a variety of smart gowns,
but her acting lacks zest in the
final reels. Warren William is
excellent as the patient, compla-
cent friend.
The vaudeville program at the
Earle this week features the Dor
sey Brothers orchestra and Bob
Crosby. Brother Bob has Bing's
style of delivery Of popular songs
and was we'll received. Three tap
dancers, young and pretty, and
Kay Weber. sweet singer, ap-
pear with the band also.
One of the most unusual and
entertaining vaudeville acts is
offered by Paul Kirkland, who
dances up a ladder without any

Ballet Russo
Here Sunday

The return of the Monte Carlo
Ballet Russo to the National Thea
ter Sunday afternoon and evening
is cause for rejoicing among ballet
fans" and lovers of music drama,
combined with decor and dancing.
Six entirely different ballets will
be presented, and in all of them
the corps de ballet will play lead
ing part-for it is after all the
backbone" of the company.
Each dancer in the SO is called
upon to play numberless and
utterly dissimilar parts, and each
has an extensive repertoire at his
finger-tips. or perhaps one should
say "toe-tips."
Outstanding Figures
But there are several outstand.
ing figures in the Ballet Russo,
nevertheless, and among them are
Massine, an actor in every sense
of the word; David Lichine, Yurek
ShabelevSky, Roman j asinsk
Paul Petroff, and Roland Guerard.
There are, among the women, or
perhaps one should say, the girls;
for many of them are very young,
1rena Baronova, she of the clean
and flawleSs technique; Tamara
Toumanova, the beauty of the
ballet; Alexandra Danilova, Ia.

more than half the colorful stage
productions of the Russians rep

an actor and was playing his
first role when discovered by the
genius, Serge Diaghilev, on the
crowded stage of the Moscow
Theater. 1t was the beginning of
his career as a dancer, for dag.

1916, and he danced leading roles
in several ballets, including the
