''HELLDORADO"
is WESTERN.
BUT GUNLESS
Not a Single Sis-ShOOter
in This Unusual Film
Story at Columbia.

"Helldorado," which opened yes
terday at the Columbia, seems to be
some sort of a new deal in West
erns, for there isn't a single six
shooter fired in the whole piece. There
are, however, a cloudburst, a gold
rush and a love affair, any one of
which means things will happen, and
consequently things happen when the
three ere combined
"Helldorado" has been made d.
verting and thoroughly enjoyable by
a motion picture making team which
gained fame back in the silent days.
Producer Jesse Lasky and Director
James Cruze. The film perhaps is
a bit unimportant for the undis-
puted talents of this pair, being little
more than a love story embellished
and abetted by the above-named
cloudburst and gold rush, taking place
in a 'eserted mining town, but it
Is pleasant entertainment withal.
The tale does not have those too
often seen frayed edges of hackneyed
treatment-it either is cleverly con-
trived and original or it is so old you

it seems to have newness you'll like.
A young man who has ambition and
dreams of big business Orchard
Arlen), a handsome and rich young
lady (Madge Evans), her f1anee
(Ralph Bellamy) and sundry others
are marooned in. this deserted He'll
dorado by a clourburst. Mr.. Arlen
and Miss Evans meet up with an an
cient character, the total population
Of Helldorado, who has long ago suf-
fered a mead injury and does not
know there's no one left in the village.
He mistakes Dick for his Dick's)
grandfather, his prospecting partner
now dead, and mentions the strike
they made Just before the grandfather
went East to get his bride, which in
terests Mr.. Arlen exceedingly. This is
going to become too technical to set
down on paper, so it will suffice to say
that Dick gets the gal and the mine
after much difficulty in both directions.
"Helldorado" has the advantage of
some grand comedy injected by Stepin
Fetchit. James Gleason also has
few bits for the Gleason fans, who are
legion, and Henry B. Walthal does a
fine job as the Helldorado population
of one. II. M.

They refer, of course, to Miss Davis
excellent work in "Of Human Bond
age" Somerset Maugham'S novel so
magnificentIy adapted to screen usage
by Lester Cohen. Just why she WASH
among those nominated for awards Is,
to the cinema set. one of those mys-
terious things that sometimes happen.
AS things stand, Claudette Colbert,
Grace Moore and Norma Shearer are
the three selected. And though each
of these girls has done excellent work
in the year past, Hollywood in gen
eral feels that they certainly didn't
excel the fine performance given by
Bette Davis.
At the present writing, Miss Davis
is about the only one in town who has
nothing to say on the subject.
How would you like to meet the
charming Helen Vinson at a smart
dinner party and then discover that
she keeps a series of notebooks, in
which she records her impressions OF
the personalities and idioSyncrasies OF
the people she meets?
This is exactly what Helen VinSon
does, and she excuses it by explaining
that in order to create a hfelike
model on the screen or stage, an
actress has to work from live model,
as it were
The live model in Miss Wilson's
case is you or you or you, depending
on whom she meets.
Clever caricaturists," she tells you,
always draw the faces of their models
in almost ridiculous exaggeration OF
one feature or another Yet. by those
exaggerations, one gets the feeling
of certain characteristics of the per-
son being drawn.
"This is exactly my philosophy First
1 break down a character in screen
play exactly as a caricaturist does.
Then I choose one outstanding or
dominating feature. And I make
lifelike caricature of the person with
this feature predominant. Only, in
stead of using pencil and paper, /
do it with my emotions, my reactions,
my whole being"
The comedians on Warmers lot are
getting Max Reinhardt down, slowly
but surely
Fancy attempting to make seri-
Gus picture, like "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" with such wags as
Hugh Herbert and Joe E. Brown in
the cast.
Hugh Herbert, for instance. had to
carry bucket across the stage in one
scene the other day. The rehearsal
went on as smooth as glass. But
when the actual take" was being
shot, for some mysterious reason,
Hugh Herbert's bucket was so heavy
Evening star., 1935-02-09

that the poor man could hardly carry
it across the stage.
1t had been filled with rocks at the
last moment. and though no one said
anything, Joe Brown had a peculiarly
innocent expression on his face at the
time
Then came the scene when Brown
had to eat handful of shelled fllbert
nuts. Here. again. everything went
well until the actual filming At that
time Brown popped a small Glove of
garlic into his mouth with the nuts
and had to swallow 1t, or spoil the
scene.
It was Hugh Herbert's turn to look
unconcerned and innocent.
But Director Max Reinhardt just
can't make such antics out. He is
more used to the European serious
ness with which actors take their
roles.

Placed in juxtapoSition to the pre-
ceding quartets played by the Brus-
sells Quartet. the gain in power Of ex-
preston and mastery of the technical
form are strikingly evident. The
smoothness with which the move
ments are woven together and the
harmony of idea throughout are ex-
cellent examples of the polish and
proficiency which he had attained.
The continual growth of Beethoven is
the remarkable characteristic of his
work, and no such clearly marked
progress is represented in the writings
of any other composer.
At one time the Quartet IN F
Major. op. SO, No. l." was considered
almost unplayable, and the story is
told of how one of the players when
first essaying it threw it on the floor
in a rage at the difficulties offered.
Since then the violin and cello tech
nique has advanced in great strides
and is more than equal to the de-
mands of the work. The Pro Arte
players gave it a beautiful reading,
particularly the Adagio with its love-
ly scoring for cello The mystery Of
Beethoven's inscription for this move
ment, "a weeping willow or acacia
tree over the grave of my brother"
whether written in irony or serious
ness, contains an indication of the
Noble and affecting character Of the
music.
A similar movement with still
greater emotional import is found in
the Motto Adagio" of the second
"Ouartette in E Minor" which the
artists gave with poignant tender
ness in a beautifully designed inter-
probation. The two Russian themes
which Beethoven introduced in COM
pliment to Count Andreas RasoumoW-
sky, Russian Ambassador at the
VienneSe court, art interviewer in the
final movement Of the "Quartette in
F. Major" and the allegretto Of the
E minor quartette.
The artists yesterday played with
a finer tone quality and better fidelity
to pitch than in any of the former
concerts. The blending of the en-
Semble between the instruments was
maintained without disturbance even
while accentuating the individual
variety of each number and each
movement. 1t was a particularly
satisfying concert both as regards the
merely mechanical presentation and
the greater musical demands of these
important works. The concerts are
being given through the courtesy of
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge and in
spite of the fact that they are being
presented over the air by the Colum-
bia Broadcasting Co. to the listeners
in their homes. every seat in the
auditorium was taken. This after
noon the third of this particular
group, the "Quartette in c Major"
and the "Quartette in E Flat Major,
Opus "a" will be played

SHORT REELS HOLD UP
METROPOLITAN'S BILL
Featured Picture, "Maybe It's
Love-" Fails to Produce the
Expected Laughs.

Maybe It's Love-" the piece de
resistance this week at the Metropoli-
tan, is no great shakes. Advertised as
hilarious comedy" most of its Jokes
fail to jell. One thing that can be
said in its favor is that it is consistent.
although some of its characters, cast
in other productions, can and have
turned in creditable performances.
However, the short subjects on the bill
manage TO pull the entire program up
above the level established by the
feature.
One of them, Paramount short
taken in the South American jungle,
is entertaining and interesting, with
pictures Of little known animals in ac-
ton. Another, "See, See, Senorita,"
has some good dance shots, presumably
in Spain, and is bright spot on the
program.
The feature picture deals with the
difficulties of young couple, Gloria
Stuart and Ross Alexander, in their
first year of married life. Their chief
trouble IS too much family.
AS may be supposed, the picture
ends with Gloria stamping her foot
and telling the family that when she
and her husband want to see them
they'll come to the family home. And
they probably live happily ever after.

AID POLICY HELD !.
PENSION BILL BOON
Borah Says Measure Is
More Needed Now
Than Ever.

Urging Federal aid to the States
in setting up old-age pension systems,
Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho,
pointed out yesterday such a course
is more essential than ever since
the administration determined to
turn back to the States and local
charity the task of providing for ap-
proximately 100000 "unemployables"
estimated to be en- the Federal relief
rolls.
THE Presidents message greatly
strengthens the cause of old-age pen
sions," said the Republican indie
pendent.
Both from a humanitarian and
economic view the Government will
be compelled to act" he said.
after four years of depression, a
large percentage of our elderly people
have exhausted their means; their
life savings are gone" said Borah,
whose own State has pension plan
paying S25 a month.
1T is too late for them to find
q place in the industrial world" he
added. Even if industrial conditions
were normal they could not find po-
sitionS.
The States are at present wholly
unprepared and many not able to
provide adequate pensions. Old-age
pension legislation ought to be re-
garded as a definite part of our pro-
gram. That is the logic of the
Presidents message"
