Now along comes werewolf Of
London" a strange story of a
legendary superstition concerning
the transformation Of men into
half animals and half humans
when the full moon appears.
The picture opens with a botan.
list, DR.. Glendon (Henry HulD +,
and an aid in the wilds Of Tibet,
hunting for a strange and rare
phosphorescent moon.flower-the
only antidote for the mysterious
wereWolf's bite. DR.. Glendon
finds the plant In a forbidden
valley, but he is bitten by a
werewolf.
Returning to London with the
plant, which he nurtures with
artificial moon rays, DR.. Glendon
knows that he is doomed to the
fate of being turned into a were
wolf. Just before his first trans
formation, two blooms are stolen.
DR.. Glendon can't prevent the
wolfish siege.
Then follows a series Of MUIR
ders, which the botanist commits
while in his savage-like state.
His fingers are turned into claws,
his teeth become fangs and hair
covers his body. The killings
terrorize London. Scotland Yard,
baffled, discredits eories of
werewolfery, however. The climax
finds the moonIght-driven scien-
fist out to kill his wife valerie
HobSon).
werewolf of London" is pri.
marily an adult attraction. The
hideousness of Henry Hull'S mas
terly makeup as a wolfish beast
will bring chills to sensitive
onlOokerS.

" Myrt- Marge
Headline at
The Fox

Paul Lukas adds new luster to
his fame as one Of Hollywood's
outstanding character actors with
his intelligent portrayal Of the
leading role in "Age Of Indiscre-
tion," now showing at Loew's Fox.
Despite the handicap of a pro-
nounced foreign accent Lukas has
risen to the front ranks by dint
Of his excellent work in a number
Of small character parts. He has
been especially fortunate in being
cast in sympathetic roles, invari-
ably playing the misunderstood,
maligned male-and the women
love it.
Remains Faithful
In cage Of Indiscretion," an
original story for the screen, he is
the devoted husband Of a cold, un-
appreciative woman and the dot
ing father Of youngster who
holds him in great regard.
The wife gives him up via the
Reno route for a weather. man,
but he goes plodding along still
faithful to her and obvious to the
charms of other women-including
his pretty secretary.
The climax of the picture comes
with the court fight for the pos
session of their little boy and it is
safe to say there is not a dry eye
in the house during the fathers
desperate battle to keep his son.
OF course, the success Of this emo.
tional scene is largely due to the
appeal Of little David Jack Holt
and May Robson, who plays the
tyrannical old woman who is be-
hind all the plotting for the
youngster. Young David gives a
remarkable performance through
out. His voice is as clear and
sharp as any of the grown actors.
Madge Evans plays the secre-
tary who is languishing for love,
and Helen Vinson gets an oppor-
tunity to wear some slick clothes
as the extravaganza wife.
Myrt and Marge
The stage show headlines Myrt
and Marge. They do a court room
episode from their radio sketch
with the assistance Of Clarence,
Jack Arnold and others familiar
to their large following. Myrt also
gives a first class imitation of Eva
Tanguay.
Eddie Jackson, Val Irving and
Billy Reeve sing and clown bit.
Jackson was formerly with
Schnozzle Durante. Their comedy
is only mildly amusing, or perhaps
we are hard to please.
Sammy Lewis and Patti Moore
are a little more successful in ex-
tracing laughs with their Skit,
"Love in the Rough"
Don Costello, with a troup Of
talented dancing midgets, opens
the bill.

Sing Sing enters the scene with

There is q love interest and an
exciting abduction Of the entire
band by a gang Of outlaws who
crave some music for their
hide-out.
George proves himself a hero,
wins the girl, the applause and
the theme song!
The old maestro is there with
all the lads, a complete program
of Gordon and Ravel songs and
the old, smoothe personality.
George Raft, ably assisted by
Grace Bradley, proves that the di'
rector was not wrong when he
mixed up the old Raft gunman'
act with some light foot work.
We repeat that Paul Whiteman
dominates the stage; its an all
Whiteman show done UP in fine
style and handed out with a gen
erous hand. Ramona, who plays

Bob Lawrence, baritone Of great

"42nd Street "
At MET"

Very interesting to review and
ponder over "42nd St." which,
after two years, is being revived
currently at the Metropolitan.
Upon leaving the theater one
has a definite conviction that
Warner Brothers Cor any other
company have never improved
upon this pioneer screen musical.
Tunes were never more artfully
blended with story sequence.
Back-stage atmosphere and plot
never held more tense interest.
True, Busby Berkeley ensembles
have ceased to be a novelty, but
here somehow (perhaps it's be.
cause all the numbers are so tune.
fuD they do not seem to intrude
or to be overdone.
It's nice to hear once again,
Shuttle Off to Buffalo" "'Forty-
Second ST., Getting To Be A
Habit With YOU and Young and
Healthy" Pleasant to see Dick
Powell and Ruby Keller being
launched on their paths to future
stardom. Exciting to view Warner
Baxter and Bebe Daniels giving
forth such histrionics as they've
never duplicated since. A novelty
to watch Ginger Rogers play a
comparatively obscure role. A
little startling to gaze upon what
are now such big names" all as
sembled in one cast, for George
Brent, Guy Kibbe, Ned Sparks.
Una Merkel and Allen jenkins are
also among those present. It's a
trifle shocking, too, to hear several
of the wise-crackS that would never
have passed the new deal in movie
censorship.
All in all, you should find it a
most agreeable and enjoyable ex'
perience seeing once again the pic
ture that started so many people
and things on their respective ways
to future fame. It's a production
that must Of necessity occupy an
important place in the history Of
Hollywood village.
A long, interesting newsreel and
"See America First" one Of a
series presenting historical progress
sion, comprise the supplementary
subjects. M. B.

Third Week

jeanette Macdonald and Nelson
Eddy in Naughty Marietta" have
been breaking records at Loew's
Columbia Theater and are being
held over for a third week.
In this Victor Herbert operetta
all of the enduring tunes Of the
original script have been retained
including Sweet Mystery Of Life, "
Failing In Love With Someone"
and other favorites.
Naughty Marietta" has the
most beautiful recording of Sooth-
ing music-and sturdy music, too
in the history of sound pictures.
It invites a second visit to hear
again something that fills the ear
pleasantly.
A program of good supple
mentary features including the
latest HearstrMetrotone News reel,
completes a film entertainment
that is close to Al.
