The picture offers the boys ample
room for their antics. 1t is their
best full length feature, with plenty
of the operas music thrown in for
relief. Little Darla Hood looks like
another Shirley Temple, Antonio
Moreno is seen for the first time in
many months, and Jacqueline Wells
makes a good beginning as the he
rome.
The story concerns a princess,
kidnapped by a band OF gypsies. Aft
er IL years she finds her father. Left
by her original kidnaper, she is fos-
tered by Laurel and Hardy, mem
bers of the band who give up the
gypsy business.
Excellent Talent in Show

looks like Eddie Cantor and dances
adroitly, leads A. B. Marcus Re
vue Continental" on the stage. With
lavish sets, and many girls, this
show also contains excellent talent.
There are the Knight sisters, a
duo adagio team with something
new in their line; Harold Boyd the
anemic little comedian, and his Jig
Saws, in spotty comedy. Lee Sc
christ is back again with his &C
Gordon.
Ben McAtee is the chief comic
with the revue, with Sharon De-
Vries singing and playing the
straight roles. Lee Mason, who used
to sing at the Indiana, and Bob
White, whose home is Lebanon, sing
nicely in the show numbers and the
Gay Boys do some clever teeter-
board work.
Ha Cha San dances in little but
her silver paint. The Marcus flair
for elegant sets and costumes is
hard to beat. This show is one of
his best in recent seasons.

Carnation Is Named
for Harriet billiard

Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 29-The "Har-
riet billiard Carnation" is the new
est thing in horticulture. The flower
was named for the actress at the
Carnation show now in progress in
Rockefeller Center.
The Harriet Hilliard," originated
by S. j. Goddard of birmingham
Center, Mass, and grown by Paul
Brigham of Westboro, Mass, is an
off-shoot of the Ward carnation.
Miss billiards namesake is light
pink with dark pink stripes. The
new flower is not to be marketed
until next year.

Again he goes to Jail.
The girl gets job as cafe dane
er and when Charlie is released he,
too, is given a job in the cafe, as a
singing waiter. His waiting is con-
demned by the manager, but he is
given chance as a singer.
This is the scene which introduces
Chaplin'S voice to the screen for the
first time. He sings, not words, but
unintelligible sounds, in a skit which
IS the best in the show.
A success, he and the girl face
happiness together. Then comes
the juvenile officers to claim the
girl.
Fundamentals Are Same
In an old-fashioned chase, Charlie
and the girl escape, are last seen
shutting down a long road, the ia
nliliar Chaplin figure silhouetted
against the early morning sun.
All the old tricks of the Chaplin
trade are in Modern Times" It
is better produced, better filmed
than its predecessors, but the
fundamentals are the some.
Pie-toSsing, brick throwing, oil
squirting, these and other ludicrous
incidents add to the hilarity of the
film. One of the funniest scenes is
that in which Charlie, fold
ed and one roller skates pirouettes
closer and closer to the edge of
balustrade in the department store.
This has been done hundreds of
times on the screen but it's Just
tunnler than ever in Charles ar
tlStlc hands (and feet).
Music Is Excellent
You'll notice Chester Conklin
Henry Bergman, and Hank Mann.
without whom it would seem, a.
Chaplin picture could not be made.
The music which accompanies the
film, also written by Charlie, is ex-
cellent. Taking the place of dia-
log, the musical theme, nevertheless
is still tuneful, easy on the ear.
Some may find the use of titles in
place of dialog a bit tedious, but
we liked the idea for a change. 1t
places much more emphasis on the

Hose Hunters

If this isn't true, you can sue
Clark (call him Nimrod)
Gable: He tells about tramping
back from a fruitless hunting
trip and meeting a couple of
little boys loaded down with
rabbits. They had no dogs, no
gun, just a length of garden
hose. With that, they declared,
they had bagged the bunnies.
Gable asked for a demon
stration, and got it. They
searched for a rabbit hole and
pushed one end of the hose as
far back in the burrow as it
would go. Then one of the
kids yelled into the hose: Get
outa there, you-!" Out popped
a terrified rabbit, straight into
the clutches of the second
boy!
