Jack Holt Is
Nets Star

Apropos of the Easter holiday
when hosts of Washington school
children are seeking entertain
ment. the Metropolitan presents
"Unwelcome Stranger" featuring
Jackie Scarf and Jack Holt. A
race track story, with an orphan
in the spotlight, enough of pathos
and if thrills is assured to garner
an okay from the youngsters, at
least.
On the whole, the older folk
will probably regard it as just an
other wholesome film. Interest
ing in one respect, however, to see
young Master Scarf step out in a
different role. So often seen as
the spoiled little mink, mamma S
darling, that it is difficult to dis
associate him from the part,
Jackie proves that he is quite
competent to essay role requir-
ing no little acting ability. AS a
crippled orphan destined to be
passed by whenever adoptions are
in order, the child finally finds a
home for himself as a result of a
series of interesting incidents
which make up the better part of
the story. Of course, in the round
of a mildly entertaining plot,
which is climaxed by a race won
by none other than the crippled
youth, the whole happy ending is
assured.
Mona Barrie is very attractive
as Hollis wife, and Ralph Morgan
is entirely adequate as the stable
manager, while the remaining
cast fits in nicely.
Better Housing Flashes" some
excellent illustrative material for
the renovating plan of the Admin.
istration is we'll presented. Short
subjects, including Dixie Land
and an Edgar Kennedy comedy
complete the program. H. K.

Rogers Powell
Held Over

With Easter upon us, Manager
Meakin chose to hold over the
RKO picture, "Star of Midnight"
for a second weeks showing at
Keith's.
Gay, bibulous, Clay Dalzell, law,
yer about town, finds himself al.
ways the one to help out people
in any quandry and the center of
many a strange mix-up from which
he always energies smiling and
confident. He is the perfect Beau
Brummell and big brother to every
one along both Park Avenue and
Broadway. Into his already we'll
filled life comes a murder, the
mysterious disappearance of a
popular actress, and a few more
assorted hectic happenings.
Keyed to the light breezy pitch
that made the Thin Man" such
delightful treat this current Of
fering skips along with here and
there touches reminiscent of the
early triumph.
The whole affair is acted by
William Powell and Ginger Rogers
in their more sophisticated man
ner. Especial honors go to Powell's
lavish apartment with it's ultra
modern bathroom appointments
which play a tuneful part in the
picture. Powell, as the impeccable
lawyer, turns out another smooth
offering with Miss Rogers as an
excellent foil. The remaining cast
are well polished and fit in their
respective grooves.
A Pathe News, a Mickey Mouse
and a novelty dealing with the
Federal housing complete the eve
ning'S entertainment. D. M.

Richardson Team Stars In
Go Into Your Dance

Hfair claim to the title of worlds
greatest entertainer
Jolson is cast as Al Howard, the
"bad boy" of Broadway, whose
weakness for liquor, blondes end
brunettes has brought about mis-
! exile from the Big Stem" His
sister, played by Glenda Farrell,
il an effort to get him straight
ened out, hires Ruby Keeler, Tia
Juana night-club hoofer, to team
up with him.
There are three or four good
song numbers, the best of which
is about Quarter to Nine"
Jolson does this number as only
he can. A background of beau
tiful girls and spectacular staging
and lighting add UNNECESSARILY to
it's effectiveness.
Other enjoyable tunes include
Have an Old-Fashioned Cock
TAIL" by Ruby Keeler and a
chorus of Mae VESTS" casino
de Paree" and GO Into Your
Dance"
During the course of the pro-
duction Ruby Keeler does various
tyr~S of dancing but she plainly
excells in her speciality, the tap
dance.
Popular Oracle Barr enters her
third and final week as a head
liner of an excellent stage pro-
gram with a new cycle of songs
which includes the timely Easter
Parade" Oracle would stay on
indefinitely at the Earle if the
! customers had anything to say
about it.
The Three Little Words, new
combination of sweet-voiced radio
singers harmonic in their own
unique arrangements of popular
songs, accompanied by Herb Cook
at the piano.

BARTHELMESS AT FOX
Columbia Has
A Romantic
Operetta

"All The Kings Horses" Loew's
Columbia's current contribution
to the parade of screen musicals,
contains one of the most tuneful
and melodic scores to come out
of Hollywood. There are six
catchy song numbers, three of
which, "White Gardenia," Prince
Charming" and Dancing The
Vinennese," are entitled to the
"hit" classification.
These melodies have the advan-
tage of being put over" in good
voice and graceful style, by two
players, new to movie fans, Mary
Ellis and Carl Brisson. While Miss
Ellis is no Grace Moore, vocally.
and not the traditional movie
type, pictorially, her singing voice
is full and pleasing, and her
speaking voice positively perfect.
Excellent diction and poiSe bear
testimony to her long and success
full stage career.
For those of you who did not
see Mr.. BriSson in the screen yer.
sion of Earl CAROLS "Vanities,"
he has a charming personality,
sings and dances well, possesses
an European accent, is tall and
erect and has a smile reminiscent
of Thomas Meighan in his prime.
The plot is typical operetta fare,
having to do with the king and
queen of a mythical kingdom, a
movie star who looks like the
kings twin brother and ex'
changes places with the king (Mr.
Brisson plays the dual role, even
singing a duet with HIMSELF, vi.
emma in spring, lavish palace and
boudoir interiors, beer garden
and Edward Everett Horton. "The
Guardian" climax is used. That
is, did the queen know all the
time that the king was not the
king, but the movie idol?
Somehow, Mr.. Horton is all but
completely lost in the shuttle, Eu-
gene Palette holding down, very
capably. the brunt of the comedy.
There is only one son sequence IN
which an ensemble of chorus girls
and boys is used. That fact should
please most movie-goers.
The short subjects comprise a
special newSreel showing the ben
efits of the national housing act,
the usual interesting Hearst-Me-
trotone News, mediocre Tom
Howard comedy and Hollywood
On Parade, giving intimate
glimpses of the stars. M. B.

BolStered by very fine acting on
the part of Richard Barthelmess,
the central figure, the doomed
man, is never lost in the maze of
pSeudo-comic happenings in and
about the locale of the play.
The entire action takes place in
a theater; the lobby, the wash.
rooms, the lounge, even the check
boy, are brought prominently into
play in an attempt to muddle the
plot, but the desperate figure OF
the pale, nervous young man
linked to fate by handouts, is
clearly drawn by the author and
the actor.
Betrayed by a "squealer" the
convict had escaped only that he
might add another life to the
many he has already taken, this
one to be the self-professed friend
who gave him away.
The denouement is b o t h
amusing and tense for several
characters of no particular conse-
quence fit in and about the play.
Barthelmess is exceptionally
good; the supporting cast which
includes Helen Mack, Joe Morri-
son. Henry Travers, Gertrude
Michael, Henry Travers and Ros-
coe Harms turn in interesting &C
counts.
George Olsen and his music
makers, featuring Ethel Shutta,
Nita and Jack Carlton, Bobby
Berger, and others, contribute old
and new tunes. Ethel Shutta, a
happy entertainer, gives impress
sions, some excellent, some not
very good; the CARTONS do a
dreamy waltz number and then
brighten up the program with an
interpretative dance on Mood
Indigo; Berger. Dick Gardner,
Jack Clifford and Adrian Freiohe,
play and sing some clever bits.
Phil Lampkin has a delightful
overture in a Naughty Marietta"
medley followed by a seasonal
song number with Denny O'Moore
singing.
Newsreel and two short features

tends to do, in the path made
open by "Ah, Wilderness!" and
Mary of Scotland"
S. N. Behrman is the author,
Philip Moeller directed it and Lee
Simonson has provided the elab-
crate settings. The play is a
comedy, dealing with the hu.
morous side of quaint notions that
often become problems in the
minds of the populace.
Miss CoWl is said to give an
infinitely accomplished perform
ance, and John Halliday returns
to the stage from Hollywood to
portray an exiled music critic
like an actor and a gentleman,
The dialogue is credited by
critics as being "double-edged.'
In many circles "Rrain From
Heaven" is declared to be the
best of the Behrman works. It
could be called radiant pro
test" with an aromatic gracious
ness of wit and weu-distilled
wording"
Supporting Miss Cowl and Mr.
Halliday are Lily Cahill, Jay
Fassett, Judson Laire, Jose
Ruben, Hancey Castle, Marshall
Grant, Stats CotsWorth and
Alice John.
