The stage show this week is headed
by Guy Lombardo, whose band,is un-
doubtedly the pride and Joy of the
youth of the land. He had only to
play one small note yesterday and the
audience broke into roars of approval.
Selections from Top Hat" followed
You Are My Lucky Star" and each
new number was followed by shouts
of applause. Mr.. Lombardo's music is
No. so far as popularity is con-
cerned and his reception yesterday
must have made him feel very fine,
indeed.
Other acts also had royal recep-
ton yeSterday-including that very
amusing team of Clifford and Marion
and Carter and Holmes. who had a
finale that is slightly rough but also
knockout.
"PROADWAY MELODY OF 1896" is
~ back in town again, this time
comfortably lodged at the Columbia.
A first very fat audience yesterday
greeted its return enthusiastically and
eyed the wonder-footed Miss Eleanor
Powell with joy-also the Ebsens, who,
to our way of thinking. occasionally
steal the finland Jack Benny and
Sid Silvers, who make very happy
pair The music, including the above
mentioned You Are My Lucky Star"
is swell. the dances out of sight, and
the book not so bad by half as you
expect it to be. On the whole. this
is one of the better musicals.

or so villainous or so terribly, terribly
sad-but romantic wiShal and smack
ing strongly of that gas-lit era when
beans came in on the Saturday night
platter and mother was never so happy
as when she saw marriage blossoming
in her daughters eyes.
The most popular character in this
seasons version of the old tear -jerker,
now playing at the Fox, is Martha
Perkins. Martha is played so elo-
quently by Margaret Hamilton that
she makes even the ice flow seem un-
important. and when Henry Fonda
(the hero) grabs Rochelle Hudson
(the heroine) off that cake of ice
you somehow are wondering more
about what Martha will think of all
this than what might have happened
to the girl.
The melodrama part of the film Is
disappointing Miss Gish was more
appealing on the ice than Miss Hud-
son. and you don't somehow get
worked up over the latter being poured
over the cliffs. Even if she did go
over-So what?
Well, anyway, the rest OF the pic
ture is grand. Miss Hudson is fine
in the wheat fields and at home;
Henry Fonda, who rose to sudden
fame in The Farmer Takes Wife"
is particularly agreeable on skates,

Story
And Comedy
At the Earle.
She Couldn't Take it"
Is Pot-pourri of Live
Elements.

CHE COULDN'T TAKE IT." which
yesterday descended upon the
Earle Theater, is combination Of
the one about the headstrong society
femme and the tough guy, rip-roar-
ing gangster opus, and crack
Drained two-reel comedy.
1t makes no pretense at being any
thing more or less than just that pot
pouryi, though, and it moves swiftly
and has some comedy, so it's enter
tanning enough.
1t has to do with the mad Van
Dykes, mother, daughter and son. At
the outset, daughter Van Dyke Is seen
bouncing along a country road, pur-
sued by at least IS motor cycle police
men who chase her right onto every
front page in town. In big type yet.
No sooner is she tossed in Jail than
the desk sergeant picks up the phone
to be informed there's something going
on up on Park avenue, which some
thing turns out to be the scion Of
the Van Dyke tribe doing human fly
act down the side of his apartment.
Cops catch him at the bottom and
escort him to his sisters side-on
page one.
Then mamma gets in some silly
trouble with the customs people for
forgetting to declare a valuable pearl
necklace and papa, who is respectable,
gets unhappy. He'll show 'em. by
heck. He shows them by refusing to
fight the Governments income tax
case and taking vacation in the
South-around Atlanta somewhere.
At this Government resort he meets
tough gang leader. decides to put
this hombre in charge Of his family
and dies of heart trouble.
Then the poor gangster chaps trou-
bles begin. mostly centering around
daughter Van Dyke. who hates him
to pieces she loves him so much. She
fixes it up with her gangster-g guard
she has started suit which will cut
off her share Of the estate, and when
she is kidnapped there is no end of
hullaballoo.
Our reformed tough guy comes
through. however, and climaxes the
picture by stealing police car and
getting the law to chase him to the
snatchboys' hangout. This chase is
done in the best slapstick tradition
with what must have been the entire
force Of the State police taking part
IN the wild ride. So it comes to the
end which you knew before the whole
thing started.
George Raft, Joan Bennett. Billie
Burke, Walter Connolly and Wallace
Ford are the principal participants
and Tay Garnett directed.
The Earle stage bill is uniformly en-
tertaiping. It's headed by Honeyboy
and Sassafras, popular radio clowns,
who appear in blackface to gag, sing
songs and win much approval from
the audience.
The Three Sailors bounce each other
about bit and do a burlesque of a
trio Of acrobatics that is tops. They're
plenty good. There's the Hal Menken
Revue. too. in which Mr.. Menken does
some Of the best dancing seen here
abouts in long time. and presents
a girl who does some clever Russian
acrobatic dances. three girls who sing
and boy who plays well upon various
stringed instruments.
The bill is opened by Ferry Convey,
the musical clown, who is a dizzy citi-
zen with a dizzy act If there ever was
one. Like the rest Of the performers,
he could have done even another en-
core yesterday evening. H. M.

Gable, as Fletcher Christian, and his
shipmates will naturally carry on, and
it will undoubtedly prove to be another
chapter in an outstanding screen
success.
Every actor has notions in the back
Of his head as to what he would
ike to play. Some of them are
right; others want the wrong thing
consistently. But when an actor ar
rives at that stage of success where
he buys all or a share Of the picture
or play in which he is the star, you
can pretty well agree that this man
knows what is good for him and is
willing to risk his own money on
it.
So with Leslie Howard. trying to buy
the rights of 1.-The Apple Tree" from
Frank Tuttle The role of Ashurst,
the fellow with the cracked kneecap
who was on a walking jaunt in
Galsworthys story. appeals to Leslie
Howard as an ideal vehicle for him
self. He would put Bette Davis in the
role Of Megan David.
Lawrence in Arabia" Is another
picture Howard wanted to make, and
Alexander Korda invited him to do
it, but The Petrified Forest" inter-
vened.
In London a play called "Noah"
is a current rage and Howard be-
lieves he could make it a favorite on
the screen. He would like to do
Ulysses in Homer's Odyssey" and
Hamlet. with Reinhardt directing.

$1,000, 900 picture They will not all
have Clark Gables, Franchot Tones

seafaring men. But, since ships in
the days of sail were fertile fields for
cruelty, with men spread-eagled,
lashed to the topmast, flogged to
death, or towed behind the ship like
a dory in a rough sea, you can rely
upon it that the cruelties of the
bounding main will be shown in ever
increasing fervor.
1t would be difficult, indeed, to find
anything better done in its medium
than the Capt. Bligh of Charles Laugh
ton; any herman role played with
more ability, more kindliness mingled
with stern moments and more charm
than Clark Cables Fletcher Chris
tian, masters mate: or anything more
delicately handled and underplayed
than Franchot Tones version of Mid
shipman Byam.
Along with all this, there is a per-
feet supporting cast. But through it
all and above it all is the seattle
wind-lashed might of that monstrous
deep which dominates the picture.
Director Frank Lloyd has obtained
some shots that are nothing short
of inspired. If fioggings and major

again there will be marine shots so
unforgetably lovely that they will
stay with you forever.
