'MUTINY OPENS AT PALACE
'Mutiny' Opens
With Gable,
Lauqhton

It's a grand pictureI With that
brief statement we sum up the en-.
tertainment value OF "Mutiny On
the Bounty" now playing at
Loew's Palace.
One hundred and fifty years
ago H.M.S. Bounty set out to sail
the South Seas; her mission was
a simple one; she was to trans
port breadfruit 3rees from the
luxurious growths Of Tahiti to the
less fertile isles Of the Pacific; the
voyage was to take the better part
of two years.
Full Of Action
From the moment the brave
little ship sailed out Of the har-
Dor Of Portsmouth fate took the
wheel. Her master was Captain
Bligh, a man Of Vicious temper,
born to conquer the sea; second
in command was Fletcher Chris
tian, a gentleman who chose the
sea because of his love Of adven.
ture; his was q better nature.
A motley crew, pre- ssed into the
kings service by force, was ruled
with an iron hand by Bligh; he
inflicted such mental and phySl.
cal agony upon the helpless men
that the good blood of Christian
boiled and so the I.1utiny which
made its mark in British mari
time history was the result Of his
understanding Of the men and his
unwillingness to let his superior
officer take advantage Of his
power,
Is Well Acted
Putting Bligh and those who
served him out upon the open sea
in a small boat, Christian turned
the Bounty ag ain owar d
Tahiti and found a measure of
peace, but with the coming of
ship, for Bligh had miraculouSly
reached land, the desperate band
slipped away into the night and
reached an uncharted island,
where they burned the Bounty
and watched the sea take her;
thus their last chain with Eng.
land and their past was broken;
they entered upon a new life of
their own.
Charles Laughton is Bligh in
the flesh and Clark Gable does a
noble job with the role Of Fletcher
Christian; Franchot Tone as the
midShipman who remained true
to his ideals, and almost lost his
life in disgrace, is excellent, his
statement before the trial board
is beautifully read. Herbert Nun.
din. Eddie Quillan, Dudley Digges
and Donald Crisp have the other
principal roles, while the camera.
man takes a bow for the beau
tiful scenic effects.
There are two short subjects to
complete the bill, Hearst Metro
tone newsreel and an hilarious
lecture by Robert Benchley on the
art Of going to sleep.
Another five-star program!

Hands Across Table at Fox;
Murray-Hope On Stage

A well directed, fast moving,
romantic comedy about the
frenzied efforts of a fair mani
curiSt to get rich quick via a sue
ceSSful marriage is the chief at
traction at Loew'S Fox this week.
Hands Across the Table" is
based upon a novel by Vina Del
mar, who generally manages to
get an unusual twist to her stories
of commonplace folks. Carole
Lombard is a perfect wise-crack
ing blonde barberSnop manicuriSt,
quite determined not to let love
interfere with her ambition to
wear ermine. But it is Fred Mac
Murray who manages to give the
tale a gay sophisticated air.
= MacMurray Excellent
AS Theodore Drew III, the
waStrel son Of a supposedly
wealthy family, MacMurray shows
an unusual flair for comedy. He
makes his initial appearance on
the scene playing hop scotch in
the corridor of the Swanky New
York hotel.
Regi Allen, the manicuriSt, looks
upon him with diSdain until she
discovers that he is one of the
400 and then she goes into action.
Here is her big chance. She in
vests her savings in a stunning
new frock and a marcelle and
they step out that evening for a
round of the night clubs which
ends up with her dragging the
apparent heir into her apartment
to sleep off the effects of too
much champagne. The eccentric
scion likes her apartment so much
that he decides to make it his
home for a while.
The manicurist discovers to her
dismay that her guest is not only
penniless but engaged to marry
the daughter of a pineapple king.
He is supposed to sail for Ber-
muda on a vacation but likes her
apartment so much that he de-
cideS to remain there a few days
ana help With the cooking.
Good Stage Show
The irrepressible Bob Hope
serves as master of ceremonies Of
an attractive stage show at the
Fox this week. j. Harold Murray,
an excellent singer, is one of the
main props of the bill. One of
his best numbers is "C'est La
Guerre." Dolores Reade also
does a number or two despite the
handicap of Bob Hope fluttering
before the microphone lying on
the stage before her and engaging
in diverse other antics to divert
her attention. The Shepard.
Cartons offer some snappy aero
batic dancing and the Five ElginS
toss around Indian clubs and hats
for your entertainment.

those roles where a woman's
heart affairs go amiSS, lends her
patrician beauty and a genuine
warmth to the part Of the Sorely
beset Duchess. Gary Cooper, too,
makes these love interludes real
moments of soft beauty.
Two clever juveniles, Dickie
Moore and Virginia Weidler, make
the early sequences appealing and
there is worthy support from
John Halliday, Ida Lupino, Ferdi-
nand Gottschalk and Douglas
Dunbrille.
Revue on Stage
The Earle moves Freddy Clark S

Beautifully Directed
It tells Of childish sweethearts
who call themselves "Mimsey''
and "Gogo." Separated when they
are 8, the affection shoulders
until the adult Peter Ibbetson,
now a successful architect, is
called to design racing stables
for the Duke of Towers. Then he
finds that the Duchess Of Towers
Is his Mimsey. Love is rekindled
and in an argument with the
Duke, who miSunderStandS the
relation, Peter kills him. There
after the story skips to the land
of illusion and the dreams by
which Peter, in prison, is able
TO have spiritual contact with his
beloved.
BY his directorial skill Mr..
Hathaway is able to conjure these
dream scenes so that they are
not only towering but create the
illusion Of reality.

The Last Outpost At the Met
Is An Exciting Western

Deferred a week in first show
ing, the Paramount picture, The
Last outpost" appears now at the
Metropolitan. A somewhat new
angle on the late World War is
brought to light in the conflict
of the Turks against the British.
Claude Rains heads a cast of
players doing an excellent piece
of acting as John Stevenson,
soldier of fortune and man of
mystery. Colorful scenes of stir
ring warfare offer moments of
tense excitement. A Betty Boop
animated cartoon, and a Para
mount NewSreel serve as the aux
iliarieS filling the bill.
Strongly reminiscent of Beau
GeSte" and Lost Patrol" the pic
ture is at its best depicting in the
initial sequence the flight of the
tribesmen lead by Stevenson.
Most effective and aided by
fine camera work this proves the
mainStay of another wise routine
triangle plot. TWO men, Steven
son and Michael Andrews, strike
up friendship which is an odd
one considering their contrasting
character. Because of a badly
hurt leg Andrews is sent to a hos
pital in Cairo, where throughout
his long conva1eScence he falls
in love with his nurse, Rosemary
Hayden.
Whey cannot realize their love,
however, as Nurse Hayden is
married. Later developments
prove that Stevenson is her long
missing husband. Additional out
breaks force the two men back
to warfare with the end finding
Stevenson mortally wounded,
which clears the way for his
friend.
Hackneyed fare and yet at times
remarkably vital and alive in its
more spectacular parts. The
jungle shots of the wild animals
Stampeding tend to contrast the
more implausible main theme.
Claude Rains gives force to his
role, and with Cary Grant to-
gether they portray real men at
grips with the more fundamental
elements. Gertrude Michael as
the leading lady proves an excel
lent object for the two mems
affection. D. M.

Rang, !" presented last night by mem bers of the Christian Endeavor so- ciety of the United church, was well received and the young people turn ed in some bits of good acting.
 The story has to tell of two young boys in woodchopper's home on a mountain thinking of the story of Christmas. In a nearby city there is a famous cathedral where the chimes will ring when a suitable of- fering is made. It relates in inter- esting style how the chimes which failed to ring when nobles and the wealth made valuable offerings, pealed out loudly when the boys made an offering of a few pennies.
 Rodney Vardon and Robert Rd- pert played the part of the boys. Barbara Holbrook took the part of a mysterious old woman. Other characters included: Priest, Noble Allen, Jr.; uncle, Samuel Meyers, Jr.; young nobleman, Samuel Mey- CTS, Jr.; rich young man, John Mo- Geeyer; lady of high station, Ruth Houseknecht; young girl, Martha McGeever; scholar, Robert Whitsitt; king, George Tucker; angel, Mar garet Clark.
