SEASONS HIT
PICTURE BACK
ON THE SCREEN
1T Happened One Night
With Gable and Col.
bert, at Metropolitan.

When the Academy Of Motion Pic
ture Arts and Sciences made its selec-
tions recently of the years best actor,
actress, best directed picture, etc,
much comment, both pro and con,
was precipitated. The cons" would
do we'll to dash Immediately to the
Metropolitan where the picture. the
actor and the actress. "It Happened
One Night" Clark Gable and Claudette
Colbert are on display.
Those who disSented with the acad-
eny in its choices will see at least
that 1T Happened One Night" is a
much better film than they remem-
bered it to be when they voiced their
dissenticn. A large number probably
will withdraw their negative vote.
For this is q film with rich, living
humor and q story that is real and
alive. 1t is an age-old theme pre-
sented in very new and different
manner. 1t is story that starts out
with action and never stops moving
until the very end. Those who popu-
late the drama, too, are very much
alive and vital; they are real people
1T Happened One Night" If you
are one of those who did not see it
and for whom it was brought back,
presents a very mad bus ride from
Miami to New York, taken by a some
what pampered and extremely rich
young lady bent upon escaping her
father to get to a husband she has
never had a chance to live with, and
somewhat batty and extremely
forceful reporter. What with losing
luggage, missing buses, running out
of money and keeping out of the way
of detectives hot On the trail. they
have a gay old time getting to New
York. But they finally do, after "bor-
rowing" an ancient touring car from
a chap who tried to commit bit Of
larceny on Mr.. Gables bag.
You can guess most of the re-
mainder. Gable is very gruff and i'm
personal while he is looking out for
Miss Colbert. but somewhere in the
vicinity of Philadelphia they discover
they are in love. Then papa does
some discovering, and Claudette is of
to have formal wedding with her
husband -in-name- only, meanwhile un-
der the impression that Clark has run
out on her. But she gets only to the
altar and then startles all society by
sramming for the vicinity of Mr..
Gable.
1t is excellent entertainment. You
will be with those two young people,
hoping for their happiness, right up
until the lights go out in their honey
moon cabin. AS you watch 1T Hap
pened One Night" you will see why
Frank Capra won a prize award for
directing it, for the gentleman has
constructed his photoplay with orig
inality and keen understanding.
You will have also another oppor-
tunity to check up on Clark Gable and
Claudette Colbert and see why they
were chosen best actor and actress of
the year for their performances here
in. They certainly have made this
pampered, rich young lady and this
carefree, young reporter a couple of
human beings, whose manners and
actions are very plausible and very
real. Walter Connolly is here, too,
and though he did not win any acad-
emy prize, he turns in an excellent
performance. H. M

DUNBAR PLAYERS In
A SPLENDID COMEDY
"Dulcy" Is Well Staged and
Acted by Group of Local
Amateurs.

"Dulcy," hilarious comedy from the
pens of Marc Connoly and George
kaufman, was presented last evening
in Armstrong Auditorium by the Dun
bar Players.
Helen Sparks turned in the out
standing individual performance, tax
ing full advantage Of the role OF To-
ouacious Dulcinia Smith, well-mean-
ing though blundering person, whose
activities include attempts at requiting
young love, advancing her husband In
the business world and rehabilitatfng
indiscreet individuals who sign other
peoples names to their checks.
The week end party at which the
Oracle Allen-like Dulcy endeavors to
consummate the first two objectives
furnishes the locale for three pyro-
technical acts, amusing in the extreme
to the audience, but hardly so to the
characters. That Is, except Dulcin1a,
to whom life Is song to which she
does a dance.
Among the other ingredients OF this
dramaturgic pudding are c. Roger
Forbes, rheumatic capitalist, ably rem
dered by Herman Smith; Angela, his
daughter Lois Jones), whose affection
for q scenario writer John Harrison)
is frowned upon by pappy; Schuler
Van Dyke, an interesting chap. who
labors under the well-known "delusions
of grandeur" played by Clarence Pen
deleton, and a butler, late Of the big
house." well done by Nathaniel King.

"LET'S LIVE
TONIGHT" DIES
At THE DAWN
TulIio Carninati's Cine
ma "Build.up" Is Just
a Thing of CeIIuloid.

After producing two Of the most
beautiful golden yolks of recent years
in lone Night of Love" and 1T
Happened One Night" Columbia Pic
lures Corp. has laid an egg of another
sort. It is called Lets Live Tonight, "
and you'd never serve it to q friend
for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ostensibly an attempt to give Tullio
Carminati screen build-up on the
basis of his success in Zone Night of
Love-" the cinema at the Earle Thea
ter this week succeeds only in blast
ing that excellent Latin mimic's
chances Of achieving individual fame
in the world of celluloid. He may
serve in the future as an effective foil
for Miss Grace Moore or some other
established star, but 1t is doubtful If
anything less than a miracle will per-
suade the cash customers who drift
into Lets Live Tonight" to come
back crying for more Carminati.
Yet the fault hes not with the actor
himself, a seasoned and skilled per-
former. If you remember him in the
stage successes Strictly Dishonor-
able" and Music in the Air." in his
cinema with Miss Moore, you will
surely acknowledge that. Even in this
strange concoction labelled a mu-
sical romance" because it has theme
song and a Riviera accent, he man
ages now and then to be amusing.
It is hard work, though, merry
making in the graveyard of the last
decades plots, gags and characterize
tions, vast burial ground thoroughly
explored by Gene Markey before he
wrote the scenario to Lets Live To-
night" Nor are Carminati's futile
efforts to stay cheerful amid dramatic
ehouls especially helped by Lillian
Harvey, Luis Alberni or the assorted
others involved in this plush-mounted
tale of a gay boulevardier who finds
himself getting sentimental over one
of his amorous adventures.
While he is floating around India
on q yacht thinking about the new
lamb pot pie, she dasnes OF to the
Riviera and becomes engaged to a
lad who Is. unbeknownst to her, the
roue's brother. Get It? We might
be able to make this a lot clearer,
but nobody around here seems inter-
ested in sending over q cast sheet
and all those pet names by which
movie mill;onaires identify one an
other are entirely too tough to re-
member.
Remember Mitzi Green, who was,
so help us, q child actor in the worst
sense of the word? Well, Miss Green
has grown up and reformed. She
does keep on making faces, but the
faces are limitations of a lot more
famous maps you have seen in films,
and as mimic, the new Mitzi is ex-
cellent. She headlines the Earle stage
bill this week, singing ballad or two
and slyly counterfeiting George Ar
| Iss, Ed Wynn, Joe Penner, yea, every
one but the four Marx brothers.
The remainder of the bill is un-
usually we'll balanced, presenting
Grace Doro, whose pianistic tricks
stopped the first show yesterday;
Charlie Nelson and two partners, a
moderate comedy and music diversi-
fication, and the Hal Sands Revels OF
1885, terpischorean group including
two remarkably clever girl acrobatic
dancers. r. B. p, Jr.

When you see him as Joe Radek,
the "hunky" mine worker in this story
of Coalville, you will appreciate what
those years Of study in voice and
makeup have done for him. One
interesting thing: When you see a
MUM picture you see f1lm in which
every character is perfect. Paul MUM
Is an autocrat about this. He had one
bad adventure in films years ago. He
forgot pictures and went back to the
tneater. When he returned to the
world of screen work he did so with
the understanding that he would have
a voice in the choice and making of
his pictures.
BLACK Fury" is strong meat; but
II I were an academician, it's the sort
of thing that would get gold statu-
cite at the end Of the year-if gold
statuettes really mean anything.
Irving Ascher steps off the plane
in Hollywood and tells you he had
dinner in New York with so-and-so
the night before More interesting
still is what he has to relate about
Warner Brothers in England-for
Warner and First National English
made pictures are under Mr.. Ascher's
capable control.
First and foremost, Irving Ascher
tells me that there is world of Eng
lish countryside, of incompatible
beauty, that has not been photo
graphed as yet for American release
Here is point most Americans forget
They say, "one could never do with
out Hollywood-without the noun,
tains, the desert, the seacoast, and
so on" They do not realize it is
becoming more and more difficult to
find new scenery in Hollywood and its
place to death.
Ascher says all the outdoor camera
work in England is done in the three
months or so of good weather, which
suff1ce to cover the years needs. This
throws neat spike into the arguments
of those legislators in California who
say we need the mountains, desert
sea of this State in order to make
pictures.
Lionel Atwill told me recently that
he has worked here three and half
years since leaving the theater. In
that time he has made precisely two
scenes outdoors. Irving Ascher ex-
plains that. due to sound conditions,
new methods of picture making and
so on, the outdoor scene is practically
gone from picture-making.
Ascher also became interested in the
psychology of the British public.

merely shine in the limelight Of the

not made pictures for several years
now and who can 60 to a Hollywood

surge about the latest favorite, is mob

public. There's something nice in
the idea.

WILL ROGERS
REMAINS At
THE PALACE
"Lite Begins at 40" viii
Haze Another SeUen
Days on F Street.

"Life Begins at 49," another OF the
Fox company's series of Will Rogers
films that have proved immensely
popular because OF their human ap-
peal, clean fun and use of everyday
as story material. went
into its second week yesterday at
Loew's Palace, with the m-chewing
comedian continuing his slingshot
shooting at jaybirds and lamenting
q new-fangled can opener.
The present Rogers number, which
may be regarded as another episode
in . serial starring the California
Oklahoman and small-town life, ex-
cept for minor changes in the casts
here and there, is even funnier and
more entertaining than some of the
previous episodes"
With q general theme similar to the
homespun plots of other Rogers films
Life Begins at 49," like its pre-
decessors, deals with people in ar
average American town, again has
Will as the editor and publisher of q
weekly newspaper, again has him
helping two young lovers iron out
their difficulties and also again has
the wealthy politician who is humblec
by the towns plain citizen (Mr
Rogers) to make it all end as the
average American audience woule
have their movies end-happily.

the young girl, and Richard Cromwell
does likewise for the boy, who get!

Publisher. In place Of Stepin Fechi
as the comedy stooge, the angular slim
Summerville helps get the laughs BY
doing in Swayback chairs, whittlint
on desk drawers and demonstrating
what passes for hog-calling.
Will slips in his usual number o
spontaneous witticiSms now and agair
and otherwise acts like Will Rogers
while the piece moves entertainingly
along and ends just as you knew il
would.
The supplementary program include!
James Fitzpatrick "travelogue," 6

brings back the veteran cross-eyet
comedian, Ben Turpin, this time as

LITTLE SHIRLEY IS
BACK AT THE COLUMBIA
Child Actress Seems to Be About
as Popular as Ever in "The
Little Colonel"

Miss Shirley Temples whimsical ad-
ventures with Southern "kunnel,
pre-Laffoon style, are on exhibit here
again this week in THE Little Colonel, ''

WOW of Hollywood is forever threat
ened with the possibility that she will
become merely another precocious and
troublesome cinema child, but once
again she avoids that pitfal as regu-
larly as heroineS escape villains In
cinema land. Her venture among the
magnolias and Colonial architecture
would seem to suggest that no matter
what material they give Miss Temple
she will end up sitting pertly on top
of the world.
For The Little Colonel is not pre-

celebrities are given numbers which
they can handle. Mr.. Dunn and Miss
Faye fall in and out Of love all the
way through; Miss Roberti casts her
eyes with no displeasure on Cliff Ed
wards, and Mr.. Edwards reciprocates
with evident relish. The latter's best
moments, however. come when he is
dreaming about Having Been Born
Too Late" and imagines himself as a
Romeo, an Anthony and as Du Barry's
favorite boy friend. In these he plays
clown with that old Cliff Edwards
enthusiasm which used to make his
banjo playing one Of the more popu-
lar items around Broadway.
If these Scandals" tend to become
slightly tiresome it is only because
you always know what is coming next
in a George White show. There must
be a curtain held here and there by
handsomely draped and undraped fe-
males. There must be scene in
which George White can prove that
he's still a good dancer. There must
be a place Tor the leading man and
the leading woman to quarrel. And
there must be cabaretS, little ex-
citement and a happy ending.
These you get in Mr.. Whites second
photoplay venture. Miss Faye is very
blond and opens her mouth continu-
ally: Mr.. Dunn. a nice guy, does
nothing very veil; LYDIA Roberti gets
her man with gusto, and Eleanor
Powell does that dance which she has
done here on the Fox stage time and
time again. with great skill. Mr..
Whites three or four tunes are already
familiar. and the girls dance in and
out with grace and enthusiasm.
We still think, though, that Ned
Sparks is the star of the show. All
he has to do is 10 speak syllable and
the audience falls apart.
