Metropolitan's Film
Has Good Acting
and Live Plot

"CMART GIRL" Paramount film.
- which yesterday was installed at
the Metropolitan, Is passable COM
edy. made enjoyable because of the
mad antics of dialectician Joseph
Cawthorn, and the invigorating pres
ence Of Ida Lupino.
The tale Is a mad one about a
couple Of rich girls who are not rich any
longer after their father fails in bust
ness and puts himself out Of misery.
One Of them Gail Patrick marries
Kent Taylor, who is nice chap and
does not deserve this, while the other,
Miss Lupino. gets a job with Hat
maker Cawthorn and stays in love
with Taylor.
Miss Patrick finally gets her hus-
band mixed up in fake stock busi-
ness; herself mixed up romantically
with the promoter, and Miss Lupino
gets her boss mixed up in the oil
stock gag and into the tolls Of the
Department Of Justice, trying to save
Mr.. Taylor. Finally Mr.. Cawthorn
comes out ahead, getting out Of jail
and making a handsome profit in oil,
while Kent and Ida are merry allies.
OF course, it does not amount to two
whoops up a leaky rain barrel, but
it's funny and Director Aubrey Scotto
has not let the pace lag once.
The film starts out namely and ends
Just the same way, with the hour or
SO in between filled, for the most part
with merry gags.
Joseph Cawthorn. as was limited up
in the top paragraph, is the chief
promulgator Of the humor. He gets
the English language in such tangles
as no one else can.
Miss Lupino, though the piece is a
farce, which in the main just calls for
snappy reading of the lines, has an
opportunity to do some acting in the

In Annapolis Farewell" the Para
mount film about the United States
Naval Academy, which settled down
for week at the Earle yesterday after
receiving a brass band premiere
Thursday night at the Metropolitan.
Sir Guy manages this feat without any
apparent aid of wires, mirrors or
diversified sleeves. yet it Is really a
bit of magic. For undoubtedly no
man on earth can be so irritating
as a retired warrior, forever bent upon
recounting his military adventures.
And that is the essence of Commodore
Fitzhugh, simultaneously the hero and
the drone of Annapolis Farewell. "
He Is more rife with quotations, forti-
fications and remeniscence than Iris
tam Shandy's Uncle Toby, and that
about tells the story.
X X
THE entire thesis Of Annapolis
Farewell" Is far more grave than
of its predecessors dealing with the
life Of our midshipmen. 1t upholds
the ideals of loyalty and self-sacrif1ce
which are meant to be the prime
principles of an officer and a gentle
man, and it is not in the least shame
faced about the plain sentimentality
Of its closing scenes.
Following on the heels of so many
stories treating the academy and the
Navy as II both were kindergartens
for handsome clowns, that attitude
proves entirely refreshing. So does
the shifting of emphasis from out
worn romantic situations to the more
interesting problems of character de-
velopment in the future admirals.
There is a large and literate group
of persons who hold that all the ira
ditions and discipline of military serv-
ice are designed merely to delude men
into believing they are doing some
thing exalted when they stick Their
necks out in front of the enemy can

not mean to enter into debate with
that faction, but merely to convey
the notion that. granted the original
premise, the picture makes out q
stirring case for itself.
This cinema is not by any means

well, Tom Brown and Benny Baker,
and Rosalind Keith appears briefly
to inspire the old Commodore to trip
the light fantastic again at a June

all the Commodore's. Sir Guy never
attempts to escape the impression
that he is drawing sententious old

The South and Germany


When several southern gentlemen
Of the south representing the South
ern Amateur Athletic Union met at
New Orleans last week they found
nerve to reprimand Germany for her
prejudice against the Jewish popula-
ton of the country. Certainly Ger
many shouldn't discriminate against
the Jews, a race who helped make
tie German Empire what it is today
but the southern gentlemen should
be the last to make little Of it when
their hands are dripping with the
blood Of Negroes they have lynched
and burned at the stake. They are
asking that America stay out OF the
1886 Olympics at Berlin. It is true
that this would hurt the attendance
and the interest that would be mani
fest in the affair but in the end
America would suffer from the loss
of prestige in track and field sports.
With her brilliant Negro athletes
who would dominate the field against
the foreigners America will take her
share OF medals and first places
among the nations of the universe.
None Of the Negro athletes represent
the South where the men are asking
for withdrawal.

Louis Hailed AS
Greatest Fighter
Of All Times

New York, Sept. rs CWP)-Max
Baer, the Jewish boy Of Livermore,
California, who was once king of the
heavies and until Tuesday night a
leading contender was beaten into in
sensibiIity By the Brown Bomber Joe
Louis Of Detroit at Yankee Stadium
after 8 rounds and 2 minutes and so
seconds of the fourth.
The savage attack that Louis
launched in the opening round proved
to Be the downfall Of Baer. He Just
couldn't take those terrific blows 10
the face and midsection. Baer was
down in the third round twice. The
bell saved him from a third round
knockout after he had been knocked
cold 8 seconds before the bell sound
ed.
His friend, Jack Dempsey, \
heavyweight champion Of the world,
was in his corner and tried to en-
courage his friend to 60 in there and
fight, but it was to no avail. Every
time he tried it ne was mercilessly
punched by the Detroit lad. This
knockout was the first for Baer and
this marks his last fight. He is fin
ished and plans to enter the ranching
business in Arizona.
There were $4,000 persons in the
stadium who paid a total of S932,944
to see the massacre. The payment for
br~oadcasting privileges and the mo-
ton picture rights carried the figure
well over the million dollar mark.
This was the sixth largest gate in the
history Of the game
Joe was married a few hours be-
fore the fight and he maintained the
same poker face at the ceremony
which was performed up in Harlem by
the brides brother. The Bomber then
went to the stadium to keep his APP
pointment with Baer. When this was
finished, in eleven minutes he return
ed to Harlem with his bride. Louis
said Thursday that he and his bride
would sail for Europe next week. He
plans to take Mike Jacobs, promot-
er, along and face all corners In a
world tour which would include South
American countries as well as Eu-
rope.
All critics Of the game hail Louis
as the perfect fighting machine. Even
Jack Dempsey admitted that he was
the best that he had seen. The news
papermen from all parts Of the oun
try who were in attendance were
lavish in their praise Of Louis.
There was a grand time in Harlem
after the fight. The celebrants stay
ed out until dawn making whoopee
and despite the fact that more than
$50, 900 participated there were no in
juries.
Joe's mother did not attend the
fight. She listened To a broadcast and
she was elated at the result The next
