Jerome Film

Week Here
Passing of the Third

at BelaScO.

SSTHE Passing Of the Third
Floor Back" which remains
for a second week at the
Il BelaSco. has been brought
TO the screen with genuine artistry
by Conrad Veidt and Gaumont- Brit
ish Films
Both Mr.. Veidt's characterization
OF the stranger and the skill with
which Director Berthold Viertel has
collected his cast and brought out
their best contribute to satisfying
picturization of Jerome K. Jerome S
play.
Mr.. Veidt is one of the few actors
who could play the stranger Of Mr..
Jerome's piece in this day and age.
and make him at all believable. and
he here does a piece of acting which
Is a pleasure to see. He makes the
character an authentic, humble and
completely likable person.
A young lady named Rene Ray IS
another who contributes much to the
success OF the film. Her portrayal Of
Stasia, the little Slavey whose life
certainly was not song until the
stranger came along. Is work of art.
Her expressions and her varying
moods make the frustrated Stasia
one of the most interesting of group
Of mighty interesting characters.
There are others in the cast too,
who pitch in with a vim and vigor
and work out character portraits
worthy of being in the same film with
those Of Mr. Veidt and Miss Ray.
Beatrix Lehman as Miss Kite. Frank
Cellier as Wright, Anna Lee as Wv

At National
midsummer Nights
Dream" Has Won
High Praise.

MAX REINHARDT'S production for
A'A Warner Bros, of William Shakes
peare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
yesterday opened its second week at
the National 1t Is film which has
won high praise from almost all
quarters.
Mr.. Reinhardt has attempted to
bring the fantasy to the screen as
Shakespeare conceived it, and, while
nobody but Shakespeare could say
how close he has come to that, no one
will deny that his experiment has
turned out an imaginative and richly
beautiful photoplay.
He has humanized the classic. and
made 1t understandable to practically
every one who will come in contact
with it. He has brought forth plenty
Of fun from the rare comedy of the
piece He has made motion picture
you will have to admire. whether or
not you like your Shakespeare in this
new form.
Principal participant in the bard's
gay humors is Joe E. Brown, a chap
who started out as a song and dance
man, went to Hollywood to become
known as the man with the biggest
mouth in existence, and who now
blossoms forth as the kind of a clown
for whom lot of Shakespearean
comedy must have been intended.
Among the others you'll remember
are Anita Louise, whose almost un-
believable beauty makes Titania a
vision Of lovelineSs; Olivia de Havi-
land, who plays the same role in the
film which she had in Reinhardt's
Hollywood Bowl production and with
the same success; Victor Jory, who is
very much right as Oberon, and
Mickey Rooney, whose Puck you will
either approve highly or disapprove
enthusiastically.
Jimmy Cagney Hugh Herbert and
Frank McHugh also are present to
join Mr.. Brown in a hilarious rendi-
tion of the immortal tragedy of Pyra-
mus and Thisbe. Jean Muir. Dick
Powell and Ross Alexander are some
of the others in the cast.
Contributing to the beauty of Mr..
Reinhardt's undertaking are two i'm
aginative ballet sequences, staged by
Nijinska, and the music in which the
original Mendelssohn score has been
adapted and added to by Erich VOL
gang Korngcld. with considerable sue
cess. All in all, it's a very worthy

GAYETY OFFERS SHOW
OF GOOD AVERAGE ACTS
Wine, Women and Song" Has
Dancing Features Which
Deserve Attention.

RUDDY ABBOTT scores another of
his tops in Wine, Women and
Song" at the Gayety this week. Mr.
Abbott is smooth performer. and
1t is well that he is, for without him
the show would be sadly lacking in
appeal.
Together with Charles Robinson and
Harry LIE Van, who are the come
dians on this bill, these three manage
to keep the show going. Even the
rehearsal scene. which is as old as
burlesque. sparkles with new life un-
der their skillful handling.
Blond Annette leads the other half
Of the show with her speciality lIum-
bers. aided by Ann Valentine and
Cynthia Michel. All three have the
primary requisites for specially acts,
namely, generously exposed curves.
The team of Rogers and Rogers Is
a pair Of the best tap dancers on the
circuit. They do one tricky dance
routine to incredibly fast music that
gets them a big hand.
Ruth Coburn. a petite blond. has a
high, faint voice, that is peculiarly
appealing.
One of the less prominently billed
members Of the troupe is Miss Gould.
Almost childlike in appearance, she
waits demurely on stage until time for
her act. and then she goes into a toe
dance routine that is smooth. indeed
One wonders if the Gayety is trying
to inject little real dancing now and
then into the bill. for certainly Miss
Gould and the ballet dancer of last
week are striking variations from the
average routine

Supreme Court said that logic was
all wrong. Under the New Deals
contention, the court said, the whole
Constitutional distinction between
the Federal power to regulate COM

state power to regulate business

things the court has forbidden? A
Yes, that could be done by amend

Head of Family Jealous,

By LniteG Press
NEW YORK, May 30.-Police
ross-examined five children today
The Oldest, Sylvester Lantaric, Is,
conf. ed he had beaten his 3-year-
Old brother to death.
Sylvester made no admissions I'M
til confronted by two of his four
sisters, Josephine, II, and Mary, 8.
Then he admitted he was accIs-
toned to kicking and beating John
for punishment"
Large for his age, Sylvester told
his story over and over again, JuStl~
flying himself as best he could. De-
tectives found the motive. SylveS-
ter was jealous of John.
Five years ago the Lantarics
moved from New York to Walnut
port, Pa. In December, 1881, Jo-
seph. the father, disappeared. A
few weeks later his body was found
hanging from a tree in a woods. He
had been beaten and shot and ap-
parently was the victim of mob.
Relief officials provided the fam
lily with transportation back to New
York. Catholic charities provided
assistance.
Family Given Assistance
Sylvester Charles, now Is; jose
phine. Mary and Frances, now 8,
were placed in st. Dominick's
School, Blauvelt, N. Y, Cecilia, born
few months after her father was
lvnched, was placed in foundling's
home, and John was sent to a fam
ilv in the Bronx that wanted to care
for a baby. Mrs. Lantaric found a
lob and was encouraged to work
for eventual reunion of her family.
With the continued assistance OF
Catholic charities, the reunion came
last March. The family in the
Bronx gave up John reluctantly.
He had become a great favorite and
the childless couple wanted to adopt
him. Mrs. Iantaric was torn be-
tween her love for John and her
desire that he have everything life
could offer. Sylvester, a big boy,
was quite the man of the house. He
had said. mo, there will be no
adoption" and his mother gave in.
John came home, radiant, happy,
dressed in the f1nery the Bronx
family had provided. Immediately,
his sisters said, Sylvester began
kicking and beating him. A new
