Fats Waller, Star at Howard

Radios harmful little armfull-
the incompatible Fats Waller
with his ton of fun and his famed
band-opened for weeks run on
the featured spot of the bill at the
Howard Theater yesterday.
AS usual Waller needs no intro
duction. His face and mouth and
his rotund body with a few side
antics just answer any question.
He sings several hit numbers in
his mirthful style while his band
also presents some hot jazz and
swing music. "The st. Louis
Blues was we'll done by the boys
while Waller got a big hand for
doing Until the Real Thing
Comes Along" With Waller and
his band, their end of the show is
superb.
Jackie Mabley, a Washington
girl, who comes from AnacoStia
and reached the footlights via
Harlem, is handling the comedy
stuff on the other end of the bill
and does it in grand style. She
gives the crowd a thousand
laughs with her witty calculations.
She came in for encore and en-
core.

for orderly government. 1t takes
more to convert Fred MacMurray
and Lloyd Nolan; in fact the latter
dies with his boots on without be-
ing touched by reform.
Battles between the Rangers and
the Indians, an abundance Of high
and fancy shooting and a drum
head court conducted by Jim
Hawkins provide some of the high
lights of this feature.
Jack Oakie plays as though he
never took the whole thing very
seriously and that seems to be ex-
actly how the audience wanted it
yesterday. Fred MacMurray fits
capably the role of a sturdy
brigand and Lloyd Nolan served
well as the third member of the

the romantic interest and there

B. Sinclair and designed by 10
Mielziner.
"St. Helena" is a second play
from the pen of R. c. Sheriff.,
whose Journeys End" was one
of the outstanding dramas of the
decade. His collaboration. Jeanne
de Casalis, is known in London as
an actress and dramatist of note.
Although Washington has seen
Maurice Evans only as Romeo in
Katharine Cornell's production of
Romeo and Juliet" last season,
he proved his versatility later in
the spring by appearing in New
York as the Dauphin in "St.

Adverse on q
Third Week

No wonder Anthony Adverse"
has been brought to the Metro
pitan Theater after a record
breaking week at the Earle
audiences like the film and it
bids fair to mark up a bumper
business.
The picturizing Of the block
long novel by Hervey Allen is
also long-it runs more than
two hours-and manages to
catch quite bit of the story's
plot and characteriZationS.
Some have said the necessity to
provide screen entertainment Of
the usual length has resulted in
a rather episode film, but on
the whole the production does
credit to Warner Bros. and Di-
rector Mervyn Leroy, who faced
a real task in getting as much
Of the flavor of the book as pos
sible on to the screen.
Much has been written about
the performance of Fredric March
as Anthony, SO praise is merely
repetition. The same holds true
for Olivia de Havilland as Angela
and young Billy Mauch as An
thony when he was 10 years old.
The latter is particularly effective
in the scene depicting his arrival
at the home Of Mr.. Bonneyfeather.
Edmund Gwen does well by the
role of Bonneyfeather, while
Claude Rains turns in an accepta-
BILE Don Luis. Anita Louise, un-
fortunately, must die early in the
film, but her few appearances are
interesting.
To a great extent, the value of
Anthony Adverse" on the screen
lies in the beauty of individual
episodes, rather than the episodes
as a whole. Excellent direction
and good entertainment are pres
ent in the court scenes, the Afri-
can slave-trading scenes and many
others.
Due to the great length of the
feature picture-which is obviously
an entire show in itself-the sun
rounding bill includes only news

feel the pruning scissors.
o. MAGNIFICENT SCENES
William Anthony Mcguire wrote
this story founded upon the life
Of Florenz Ziegfeld and embel-
liShed it with decorative fiction.
It traces his career from the time
that he was the alert manager of
Sandow at the Chicago worlds fair
through the year of his colossal
New Amsterdam Theater successes
and the vicisSitudeS that hit him
just before death claimed him for
the ages.
Perhaps the most fascinating in
terlude in "The Great Ziegfeld" is
that which features the romance
between the great glorifier and
adorable Anna Held. It is made
tremendously appealing by the
beautiful and moving performance
Of Luise Rainer as the French
show girl. Here is charm and
warmth and heartbreak that rates
