Show Talent in Film
and on Stage.

RILLED as "a fleeting, flashing ar
ray of tantalizing titan beauty"
the Fox Theater'S feature flicker for
the next six days should not be pref
cradle to gentlemen such as crave
blonds, but neither the press agents
optimism nor gentlemens preferences
should cut much ice in respect to
'Redheads on Parade"
With John Boles continuing his
movie career as a singer of dittieS
and an attempt at histrionics, the lat
est musical to peddle its wares on F
street turns to three more minor Hol-
lywoodites tor the things needed to
put it across. Miss Dixie Lee mrs
Bing Crosby, glib-gifted newcomer
by the name of Jack Haley, and old
dependable Raymond Walburn join
hands to do as much as possible
with a production that has to deal
with the woes of an impoverished
movie unit in its roping in of a
crack-brained capitalist to back the
units effort to emerge from obscurity.
Because Miss Lee happens to own a
small interest in some bottled magic
for auburn-haired tresses, Impresario
Jack Haley and Movie Magnate Alan
Dlnehart offer hel as the bait to at
tract the manufacturer of this magic
into laying enough cash on the line
to produce film glorifying redheads.
When Scattered-cranium Raymond
Walburn, the big d-hair-restorer
man, gets an inkling that the coy
Miss Lee might not be riding on the
same sleigh with him in preference to
having Mr.. Boles shout ditties in her
ears he reneges. But when two COM
petitive manufacturers of a blond
magic for the gals of gentlemen's
preference, whose blue-ink figures are
running into red because of the film's S
advertisement of redheads, offer more
cash on the line to have the movie
stopped, the hoodwinked Mr.. Walburn
illnesses twice and slams another
grand to complete the ''filum.'
Very, very thin ice, says you, and
you are almost right. except that Miss
Lee and some 48 other redheads, sup
posedly representing the States of the
Union, are easy to look at, dance well
and dish out some first-rate entertain
ment with the all-important aid of
Messrs. Walburn, Haley, Dinehart and
Boles. One or two of the songs also
may bear repeating.
The Fox stage show opens with a
trio of young men who dance well
and two girls who dance not quite
SO we'll, in something called "Futur-
istic Rhythms" 1t gets better when
Jackie Heller of Ben Burnie training
wakes warmish to put across several
popular tunes for well-deserved en-

the antics of Al Trahan, who comes
back again to go through his Pade-
roughski routines with the patient
lady who never finished her aria.
Billy House, who has stored in a
few new gags, and a young lady
whose blond beauty doesn't harmonic
with the idea of the feature picture,
yet gives her every right for an Earl
Carroll front line, present few
scenes that get sufficient laughs to
bring down the curtain in fine style.

Still Popular
Academy Scenes and
Good Acting With
Local Interest.

" A NNAPOLIS FAREWELL" adept
ly limned character sketch of a
retired sea dog, authentic view of life
at the Naval Academy, and a mighty
good movie in other ways. yesterday
came back to the Metropolitan, where
few weeks ago it had its world pre-
miere prior to its first downtown week
at the Earle.
The film is literate and sincere. 1t
treats the Naval Academy as though
the academy we're a serious training
ground for officers and gentlemen, and
not playground where boys dress up
in white suits and waiL around for
June week, so they can go out and
make love by the Severn
This is lot more than can be said
Of some films which nave preceded
Annapolis Farewell" in dealing with
the service schools. and such treat
ment provides a splendid, authentic
background for Sir Guy Standings
well-nigh perfect character delinea-
ton.
Sir Guy comes off ia: better than
would any one less skilled in his crea-
ton of the retired commodore. who
trod the decks of the Congress at
Manila Bay and who is ever ready to
relive Dewey's battle. This old officer
is a first-class bore, living as he does
in his past. and forever poking his
nose into the affairs of the Nava!
Academy, but Sir Guy. with his superb
finesse. manages to keep his audience
from becoming bored with bore.
He is serious enough so that he
gains sympathy for the commodore in
stead of allowing him to become the
laughing stock of Annapolis Fare
wells" audiences. and yet inJects
enough of Skillfully placed humor so
that no one is overcome by an urge
to yaWn, when the long -winded old
duffer begins to unwind,
Annapolis Farewell belongs COM
pletely to the commodore. of course,
and without him there would not be
much left. The cinema does offer
splendid support. however. to Sir Guys
remarkable and brilliant characterize
ton. approaching with seriousness the
traditions Of the Navy and the task
of building admirals to run it.
In addition to the commodore and
the admiral development. there is
believable story enacted by Richard
Cromwell, Tom Brown. John Howard,
Rosalind Keith, Louise Beavers and
others, some very human comedy, and
a tear-jerking, but completely sincere
ending. Also there are numerous To-

BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, JR.
w WILL ROGERS must have
A had a lot of fun playing
wv the captain of the Clare
more Queen, in one OF the
two last pictures he completed before
his death. He must also have en-
joyed watching his good friend, Irwin
Cobb, settle down comfortably, and
properly, into the role of skipper on
the stern-wheeler Pride of Paducah.
Whatever pleasure he derived from
the film. he returns it twice over to
his audiences in the picture that
opened at Loew's Palace yesterday.
In our estimation Steamboat
Round the Bend" is one of the two
best cinemas Will Rogers ever made.
The other was Judge Priest" In
both he displayed talent for pathos
previously unsuspected and unher-
aided. He was no great tragedlan, or
even a comedian comparable to Chap
lin or Fields, but in those stories he
plowed a furroW of human emotion
much deeper than the strata Of the
wise crack.
No matter how kindly the man who
fashions it, the wise crack is essen
TALLY barbed. Will Rogers made a
fortune from that brand of wit, but
his good nature softened the bite of
everything he said. Nevertheless, in
Judge Priest" and Steamboat Round
the Bend" his humanity finds deeper
and more literate form of expression.
Make no mistake about the latest
Rogers film. 1t is a comedy-melo-
drama, at times farce. Its climax
is a rousing steamboat race between
the "Claremore Queen and the
pride of Paducah." We native
Paducahans WINGED to see the Okla
homa pilots win out, but none could
deny that the scene wherein Capt.
Rogers got up steam by stoking the
furnace with his patent medicine was
one of the most hilarious in the an
nails of screen farce.
There is also some clever lampoon-
ing brought off in Steamboat" Bur-
ton Churchill solemnly kids the
whiskers right off his role as river
going Billy Sunday, Eugene Palette
is superb as the quixotic sheriff who
can't resist talking about hanging
when he is conducting the marriage
ceremony of a condemned man, and
Stepin Fetchit is well above par in
the guise of a Calliope artist chris
tened David Begat Solomon.
