Rogers Movie

'Tis with mixed emotions the
beloved Will Rogers is seen upon
the screen. Occasionally the
greievous loss sweeps over one, as
the always kindly and lovable
actor appears in his late picture,
Steamboat Round the Bend"
but, for the most part, he is the
living personality most of us have
so revered, and we can keep him
thus.
The Columbia Theater presents
Mr.. Rogers in one of his most
dramatic roles. It has been her.
aided as one of his best perform
ances, but no doubt each admirer
must make his own decision.
Irwin S. Cobb, humorist in his
own right; Anne Shirley and
Step'n Fetchit, and a group of the
best character players in Holly
wood, make this an engaging film.
Will owns a small riverboat on
the Mississippi, the fastest craft
upon the river, so he contends, but
Mr.. Cobb bets on his own, The
Pride of Paducah." A race to
Baton Rouge is, of course, the
highlight of the whole affair. but
the usual thread of romance and
suspense is interviewer into a sat
isfactory story. incidentally,
Stepin Fetchit is funnier than
ever before and, of course, Mr..
Cobb's droll characteristics like

situations.

Nell Gwyn' at
BeIasco

Proudly announcing dialogue by
King Charles II, Samuel Pepys
and Nell Gwyn, British and Do
minion Pictures Of London intro
duced the famous romance Of
Nell Gwyn" at a late preview
showing at the Belasco last night.
This English importation is
sumptuous and moving, witty and
subtle. It's settings are something
to shout about. Sir Cedric Hard
wicke as King Charles II is worth
writing home about. And Anna
Neagle as Mistress Nell gives a
performance that has so many
pros and cons it is worthy of a
debate in town hall.
Here is an actress as pretty as
they come, who frequently por-
trays the hoyden Gwyn as she
must surely have been. Yet there
is always evident in her pretend
ing an over Jealous effort to be
too coy-too definitely the vixen.
Often her voice is too shrill. Ere
quently she hints Of Katharine
Hepburn's manner and speech.
But she is always impressive and
moving and, to this reviewer,
came through with flying colors.
A fine dancer, too.
Sir Cedric Hardwicke as King
Charles, easily dominates all of
his scenes from his discovery of
Nell at the old Drury Lane The
ater, throughout their hectic ro-
nance to his death-bed sequence.
This last is touching and tragic
and should have been the pic.
ture's climax. But they've brought
in an unnecessary epilogue show
ing the dead Nell in her room
of poverty. The prologue could
also be eliminated as an improve
ment.
The Seventeenth Century at
mosphere is excellently preserved
and an enlightening episode is
that which depicts back-stage
antics in those times. Makeup
was known as grease" We also
learn that the women of the
olden days, just as today, pre-
ferred their gowns to be exclu-
sive models as proven by the
"dress battle" between Nell and
the Duchess of Portsmouth (nicely
played by a French actreSS
Jeanne De CaSaliS)

varied, interesting and educa-
tional. Comprising it are a news

BEERY-COOPER AT FOX
Beery-Jackie Cooper,
Co-Starred at the Fox

Let me say in the beginning
that both the picture and the
stage show at the Fox this week
rate a full quota of praise. This
fact, I hold, is noteworthy because
all too seldom one end of the bill
suffers by comparison with the
other. Not so this week.
The picture, "O'Shaughnessy's
Boy" in which Wallace Beery and
Jackie Cooper are starred, is one
that might have been easily
spoiled by over-emphasis. 1t is
just the sort of thing that might
have been muShy instead Of good.
To the actors and the director
an orchid apiece for the fine re-
straint and the genuine artistic
sense that made this picture a
good piece of entertainment in
stead of merely a tear-jerker.
This is not to say tn t
"O'Shaughnessy's Boy" doesn't
have its tender moments and
scenes at which one might well
cry a little, if inclined that way.
But such scenes are allotted their
proportionate part in the picture
and no more.
Jackie Cooper Stars
AS one of the charter movie
| goers of America 1 may be par
doned perhaps for venturing a
personal preference here. Wal
lace Beery, star of this picture,
has for many years been my IA
vorite. have never seen him do a
shoddy piece of work. His role In
the present film is not his great
est but he adds immeasurably to
the part.
Jackie Cooper Is very convinc-
ing as the son. To Sara Haden,
who played the part of the prim
and self-righteous aunt, full credit.
Hers was a very fine performance.
Little Spanky MacFarland is cute
in his part.
The picture is filled with excite
ment. The action, for the mos
part, takes place against a back
ground Of circus life and even the
occasional movie-goer will find it
entertaining throughout.
The battle of the father to win
the love of his estranged son is
easily a theme that might we'll
have been mishandled but you
will find here an understanding
and artistic treatment that will do
things to your heart.
Good Stage Show
Tito Guizar, featured on the
stage show, brings to his work a
very fine voice of great range. To
some of his numbers he plays his
own accompaniment on the guitar.
No musician, yet felt that his
numbers were not well chosen.
His voice is enjoyable, however,
even in the Spanish numbers.
The Gaylene Sisters present a
dance act that really takes top
rank for the season for acts of
this nature. The girls do some ex.
quisite numbers and their own
personal beauty adds a great deal
to a well staged and colorful act
They are assisted by some tap
dancers who merit mention.
Hall and Dennison present some
light comedy and some of the
most unique music you have
ever heard. The trick fiddle play
ing stands in a class by itself, il
you care for that sort of thing.
Mills, Kirk and Howard, trio
of funsters, put on some eccentric
comedy that really is comedy
Their sort of nuttiness goes big
with audiences and I confess
have a weakness for it myself.
Various subsidiary reels are also
shown, and the program, from
first to last, is enjoyable.
