Bill Powell Gets a Goofy Role

Ever since Bill Powell mixed
highballS and murders and fun to
turn out the sparkling screen
cocktail called 1.-THE Thin Man, %
almost every studio in Hollywood
has tried to copy the success
recipe.
RKO-Radio is closest to the
same kind of a hit in THE Elk
Mrs. Bradford" a picture full of
murder and madcap and whimsy,
with the laughs coming whenever
you are tempted to take it all
too seriously.
Melodramatic farce is what
suppose it should be called, and
I hope to see it again with an
overflow audience at Fifteenth
Street. For the little group of
critics who saw it yesterday at the
Fox Exchange unbuttoned one or
two lusty outlaws and quite a few
polite filters.
Yes, I think 1.-THE Ex-Mrs. Brad
ford" is destined to be one of
those pictures where Hardie
Meakin won't have to guess about
Q second week. It appears to have
the requisites Of an easy holdover.
Bill Powell is a very sophisti-
Gated surgeon with yen to solve
murder mysteries. He has practi-
cally given up his pursuit of crime,
but his ex-wife turns up trying
to collect alimony and soon has
him knee-deep in a race track
death that appears to defy solu-
ton.
It would be stretching the truth
TO the bursting point to say that
Jean Arthur makes as good a
sophisticated pal for smooth Will
liam Powell as does Myrna 10y.
Not by quite a bit Of polish and
considerably less nonchalance.
However, Jean Arthur has o
gorgeous Dulcy-like role. She blum
ders along and helps the surgeon
Hawkshaw find the right answer
and the candidate for the gallows.
In the process she twice baShes
the Powell skull by mistake and
you sometimes wonder why MIR.
Powell in his conscious moments
didn't add a new murder oy
throwing her out the window and
pleading "justifiable. nuisance"
Indeed, it's all very exciting
nonsense and If you try to solve
it as neatly as a crossword puzzle
you are liable to wind up with
a couple Of spare pieces that don't
fit. For instance, I can't yet con-
ceive of modern newspapers max
ing an eight-column banner line
about a famous surgeon being
murdered, while the same sur.
geon reads his obituaries as he
munches his grapefruit.
Mr.. Powell gives a very slick
performance and he Is hand
Somely supported. On the whole
] think you can buy "The Ex-Mrs.
Bradford" and be almost certain

RAPID FIRE SUCCESS
Raymond Trotter, youthful
Philadelphia, made his first radio
appearance Sunday evening with
Major Bowes. Less than "a hours
later-yesterday afternoon, to be
exact-he had travelled to Wash
ington and made his stage debut
with the All-Star Troupe Of Major
BoweS' Amateurs who opened their
local engagement at the Earle
Theater on Friday.
Raymond won his position with
the troupe through a unique &C.
complishment he learned as a
hobby. He tap dances at the same
time he plays the violin!
At his first appearance yester-
day, in the second show, he had
a large audience backstage. All
of the other amateurs crowded
around the wings to watch the
newcomer perform. He won their
approval as well as that Of an en-
thusiastic audience.

Gently directed.
SUPERB SUPPORT
The Nazimova performance Is q
moving and carefully etched study
of sustained misery, haunting in
it's realism, impressive in its quiet
subtletieS, always commanding as
a presence.
Mckay Morris has one of the
finest voices on the American
stage, musical in quality, rich in
volume and clarity. AS Pastor
ManderS the acto.: has splendid
opportunity to exhibit the full
measure of his talent and I rate
his performance with the seasons
finest.
For the exacting role OF the tor
tured Oswald the Nazimova cast
has Harry Ellerbe, a young actor
who showed great promise in
George Kelly's Phillip Goes Forth"
and whose art has ripened with
the added years. Here is another
Grade A voice and q thespian Ca
pacity to melt into q tenSely emo
tional role and give it both fire
and force.
Excellent in extremely impor-
tant supporting roles were Beatrice
De Neergard and Raymond O'Brien.
It will prove a &C: Mort and q
Joy to the balcony patrons of the
National Theater to know that
Nazimova and her company send
every line to the far reaches of
an ample playhouse.
Ghosts" played 10 weeks on
Broadway earlier in the season
and is going back next Monday
night. The Ibsen play is just COM
pleting q coaSt-to-coaSt tour and
that it has been one of the SEN
Sational surprise successes of the
current season can be readily
traced to the worthy production
Of an enduring drama.
