SAND HOGS AND
THEIR WORK
EXPLAINED
Victor McLaglen and Ed
mund LOupe Are Starred
in "Under Pressure"

In its explorations Of little-known
industries the cinema has now reached
the sandhog business, which consists
not of boarding sand. but of digging
tunnels underneath rivers, mountains
and other cavernous spots, where the
temperature is high, the air compressed
and the pay good. Under Pressure" ="
the melodramatic analysis of tunnel
ing currently on display at Loew's Co
lumbia, has chosen for its heroes your
old friends Capt Flagg Victor Nc
Laglen) and Sergt. Quirt Edmund
LoWe).
For the moment, however. the broil-
some boys have tossed aside their
epaulets and chevrons. and their shirts
in the bargain. to emulate two helfy
sandhogs, roofing away on one end of
a tunnel leading from New York to
Of all places Our muscle
bound heroes. who are known respec-
lively as Jumbo and Shocker in their
new civilian guise, started on the
Flatbush side of the river and
are trying TO dig away from
there as fast as they can. Ap-
preaching them from the New York
end is Nipper Moran and his ugly
crew. The object of the game is to see
who can reach the middle of the river
first, win lot of side bets between the
crews and have the privilege of push
ing the losing boss in the nose.
Between the episodes of fire. food
and pestilence which harass Jumbo,
Shocker and their muckers in this
race. the boys come upstairs into
sweet sunlight and sit around a beer
parlor explaining to Miss Florence
Rice. who is the handsomely inef-
fectual heroine Of the piece, all the
dangers of sand hogging This expo
Sition gets fairly tireSome at times,
but you will leave the Columbia full
of prescience anent the bends. the
staggers, the wobbles and other mala-
dies which beset the best of them
now and then.
In the course of their adventures
Jumbo and Shocker demonstrate how
to contract and cure each OF these
ailments, how to escape flames. ava
lanches and fights underground. In
fact, Under Pressure" is whatWithal
more instructive than entertaining. a
comment in which you will surely
agree when you hear that its comedy
consists of Mr.. McLaglen's humping
his head on low ceilings occasionally,
and its romance is predicated on the
idea that Shocker wants to marry
the beauteous heroine and retire to
a silver fox farm, far from the mad
ding throng.
The others noticeable in the cast
include Seigfried Rumann. Charles
Bickford and Marjorie Rambeau.
The program also includes The
March of Time" newSreel and other
shorts. r. B. p, Jr.

cialties. william E. Braithwaite, play

voice.
The plot revolves around the affairs

Love in Bloom" which yesterday
came to the Metropolitan, is a very
pleasant entertainment, made so by
a pleasant and unassuming love story
INDUCED in by Joe Morrison and
Dixie Lee and by some very catchy
tunes sung by these same two people,
and not greatly harmed by the pres
ence OF George Burns and Oracle
Allen.
1t is a tale of a girl who forsakes
her haphazard life with a travelling
carnival, operated by her inebriate
father, for the more haphazard life OF
a girl looking for job in New York.
Here she meets a nice young chap
also totally lacking of cash assets. and
the two get a job in a music store
which gives them an opportunity tC
sing the songs you have heard on
your radio. 1t also gives them an op-
portunity to fall in love and get mar
ried after the usual obstacles have
been overcome. 1t is more embellished
than that, of course, but it is no more
important.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, March % (P).
Southern industry made a bid for
representation on the expanded Ma
tional Recovery Board yesterday.
A telegram to President Roosevelt
from John E. Edgerton, president Of
the Southern States Industrial Coun-
Gil, asked that "in any reconstruction
of the National Recovery Board at
least one outstanding industrialist,
representative of Southern industry,
should be appointed as a member"
Edgerton declared that Southern
interests feel they have been neg
lected on code authorities" He said
that of a total membership of 3,186
on all codes up to June 7. 1884. only
298 members we're from the South and
that on most code governing bodies
Southern representatives were In the
minority.
He said that from 18 to 20 per cent
of the total value of manufactured
products in the country are turned
out in 13 Southern States. He added
that of 1854 code authorities 248 have
no Southern representation.

Cassini, both impersonated by M.
ChevalieI. 1t seems the resemblance
between Charlier and CaSsini was so
marked that the entertainers imper-
sonation Of the flnancier was the
great hit OF his repertoire. Needless
to say, Charters ability to be Cassini.
CaSsini's talent for being himself and
Chevalier's being either one at the
slightest provocation leads to no end
of amusing complications, so many,
in fact, that you may share our diff
Guilty in remembering which person
M. Chevalier intended to represent
at given moments. In both char
acterizations, however, Maurice turns
on the old charm, which for most
citizens Is sufficient without further
fandangoes. To bolster this best Of
Chevalier pictures the Twentieth
Century Co. enlisted Miss Ann Soth-
ern, who gives fiery representation
Of a girl who didn't want to be a
lady; Merle Oberon, the English eye
full. and Eric Blore, who does the
comic butler to perfection.
AS If you never could get enough
of laughing, the Fox also has i'm
ported this week that daffy and ex-
pert rib-tickler, Herb Williams, who
was last seen around town at the
National, forgetting lines and getting
laughs in The Farmer Takes
Wife" Mr.. Williams is one of the
most skillful comedians in vaudeville,
and behind your outlaws at his antics
on the Fox stage, don't you forget it.
He carries a useful assortment of
stooges with the act, and his famous
collapsible piano is still folding up
on schedule.
The second billing this week goes
to local talent, Talbot Hazlett, a
singer of extraordinary power but no
great stage personality, and Evelyn
Tyner, whose planistic gifts previous
ly have been broadcast to the world
via radio and theater. Mr.. Hazlett
has really fine voice, but we thought
two of his three songs trite and poorly
chosen. Miss Tyner's talents have
elected awe and praise from impor-
tant people, but again we did not care
for her choice of material The au-
dience. it may be added, applauded
them wildly.
The other two tunes are a bicycle
act and some numbers by the Danny
Dare Dancers. r. B. P, Jr.

quenchable comedy who makes

on Fifteenth street for a deserved
third week. the ace entertainment it
is. 1t is he who will send you from
Keith's with the gay feeling that
Roberta" is much better than it
really is.
Not that the fine Jerome Kern
musical is not a good film. There
are lot Of things about it to fill you
with glee, but there are also things
about it to make you sit upon your
chair waiting and hoping for some
thing to happen. The happy thing
about it is that something usually does
happen very soon, usually in The way
OF Mr. Astaire coming upon the scene.
And when Mr.. Astaire comes upon the
scene, everything is right with the
world.
Fred plays gayly and snappily in a
comedy role that fits him TO peItec-
ton, but above all he dances. He
works so fast in one number you can't
even see his feet. And that loutine
he has designed for 'Roberta's" finale
is just about the granddaddy and
peer of all dance routines, known and
unknown.
Other than Mr. Astaire in Roberta
and helping him make you overlook
the slower moments are Ginger
Rogers, Irene Dunno and a fashion
parade With hosts of handsome mod
els, some handsome gowns and some
atrocious gowns. which. however you
may like You won't soon forget the
totally beautiful Miss Dunno singing

you have difficulty remembering the
touches added by Miss Rogers who
deserves some sort of a medal for be-

4lGCh OuU dI CNC1y SOAAASL.
While the Fox company seldom
varies its Rogers formula, in this case
the cards have been stacked with the
greatest possible skill and the result
is the sort of good-natured entertain
ment that should tickle the fancy OF
everyone from to 80.
Rogers has never been in finer trim
than he is as this small town news
paper publisher whose crowning sue
cess comes when he proves that
Richard Cromwell didn't take that
$4,000 from the bank after all. He
goes through the film shaking his
head at the unkind words OF neigh
bors and bank presidents, harbors
Young Mr. Cromwell, who is looked
upon with scorn, and sees to it that
the lad falls in love with Rochelle
Hudson, a young lady who is. as they
say. an "oncomer" in the films.
Just where the title of the picture
fits in isn't quite clear. Except that
Rogers tells an old fogy that instead
of making up his mind to die. he
should scout around for rich widow
something which the fogy does. And
in the last scene you have the salts
faction of seeing Rogers not only
welcome the widow home. but tuck
her under his arm and do a rip
roaring fox-trot with her.
This philosophy should appeal to
those who are over 40 and are be-
ginning to think about the next world
II that crumpled up little old man
can go out and get snappy widow
with blonde hair and an agreeable
disposition, why then life beyond &C
should become not only a JOY but g
paradise.

o. K. as the boy, and Miss Rochelle
has two very satisfactory brown eyes.
MR.. ROGERS having plunged us
A'A into this cheerful mood, 1t is
easy to continue with reflections on
"Ruggles Of Red Gap" Just around
the corner. Here is the merriest
comedy of the year, acted by superla-
tive cast, and putting Charles Laugh
ton on the map as England's Charlie
Chaplin. While Mr.. Laughton's feet
and hands have little to do with it,
his facial expressions alone are worth
a trip to the Earle, and II you don't
split your sides when he does little
nipping with Ruggles at that cafe,
then you don't deserve to split your
sides at all.
"Ruggles" not only presents Laugh
ton in a new role, but it gives him
surprisingly effective dramatic scene
the recitation of that Gettysburg ad-
dress which you must already have
heard a good deal about. This is said
with such Evolutionary skill, with
such calm and such dignity. that
coming as it does in the midst Of a
hurly- -burly it is all the more ef1ec-
tive.
The story of valet masquerading
as an English lord is, of course, not
exactly new. But since it Is played
by Laughton and by Mary Boland.
Charles Ruggles. Maude Eburn and
Zasu Pitts, it often seems very fresh
indeed. Miss Pitts appears as Red
Gap kitchen queen who ensnared
Laughton by not only her looks but
her culinary skill, and who eventually
becomes Red Gaps foremost cuisln-
iere.
It's all swell fun.
The stage show features not only
those amazing acrobats. Park and
Clifford, who sent out the seasons
best Christmas cards, but also the
Eton Boys and Do-Re-Mi, Grace De
Faye g. Co., with Eddie Stuart and
Dot Donna and Teddy, as we'll as De

~ NE Of the great virtues OF the
new Aim at Loew's Fox Is
Y J that 1t Is as unlike its Pari-
sian namesake, the "Folies
Bergere," as possible. Where
as that lugubrious fantasia Of undress
used to break records In boredom every
week, the 1885 film version is lively
farce, wittily performed by Maurice
Chevalier, Merle Oberon. Ann Soth-
ern and some other capable farceurs.
When occasionally it bursts into
song, the Hollywood "Folies Bergere"
Is thoroughly pleasing. When 1t goes
into dance, it is merely another Gel
luloid extravaganza, replete with
chorus girls bobbing out Of straw hats,
umbrellas, lightning bolts and every
thing else up to and including the
kitchen sink Fortunately these trick
hooflng interludes, which have most
OF the cash customers frothing in their
bibs, are rare, being dragged in by

Eugene Charlier, part-time hero OF the
piece, really is a music hall singer.
The bulk of the play-if any
amount of such frothy stuff can be
said to constitute bulk-is more
