some more lusty laughs ana then
spoils the good effect by two min
utes all to himself, which convince
you bit" actors should only do
"bitS."
Far and away the best acting in
THE King Steps Out" comes from
that grand trouper, Elizabeth Ris-
don, as the Dowager Empress.
Raymond Walburn, Frieda 1nneS-
court, George Hassell and Victor
Jory have the other important
roles.
Grace Moore sings these Kreis-
ler-Fields songs: STARS in My
Eyes" "Madly in Love-" Call to
Arms" "a very stirring soldier
number, Learn How to Lose, :"
THE End Begins" and the before
mentioned "Old Refrain" A gen.
erous quota of trins and cadenzas.
On Friday The King Steps
Out" has its world premiere at the
Earle, and Exchange Manager
Sam CALAMITY, of Columbia, will
bet a few straw hats it sets a new
box office record. Sam was right
about Deeds" so I won't bet him.
He is riding a Columbia lucky
streak.
ART GODFREY AS BOWES
Tonight expect to have a lotta
fun watching the Y. M. C. A. ANA
teurs just competing for glory in
the Mems gymnasium, Eighteenth
and G Streets. Old MarSe Arthur
Godfrey will be master of the
gong Or sumfin and your critic is
on the board of judges. OF course,
if any of the lads display big
league talent there is nothing to
prevent me from calling their bril-
lance to the attention OF Gene
Ford or Guy wonders.
Managing-direc tor Orangelo
Ratio of Loew's Palace Theater
leaves Georgetown Hospital today
for a convalescence at Atlantic
City, and here's hoping to see
him in the F Street lobby again
within a fortnight.
PICKFORD PARASOLS
Green parasols for critics. COM
pliments of Mary Pickford and
her lone Rainy Afternoon" I
wonder if that series of showers
yesterday afternoon was merely
ballyhoo for the picture coming
into the Fox on Friday.
BY the way. I heard the voice
of Mary Pickford Sunday after
noon introducing Francis Lederer
and Ida Lupino, who gave the
courtroom scene from the picture
And very funny. With the best
laughs over the radio seeming to
come from Hugh Herbert.
THE PRIZE ACTING
Winner of the 1885 Academy
gold medal for best acting will
probably have to beat Luise
Rainier, who has just been
awarded the laurel for best acting
in April by the Screen Actors
Guild of Hollywood. Second time
the Guild has singled her out for
decoration. Previous honor was
for "EScapade"
Preferring Miss Rainer's Anna
Held, the Guild softened the blow
for Bill Powell, THE Great Zieg-
fields" star, by giving him honor
able mention. Honorable mention,
too, to C. Aubrey Smith for his
Earl of Dorincourt in Little Lord
Fauntleroy," and to Henry
Stephenson for Mr.. HaviShan in
"Fauntleroy."
Twit me not about Charles Col
Inns, the dancing star of Dancing
Pirates" who can't seem to draw
them into R-K-O Keith's although
he is in a splendid color picture
and steps like a million. For
will remind you that Fred Astaire
in his first picture. Dancing
Lady," was ever so good but
M-G-M let him out.
Anybody who can dance like
Collins must find place in Holly
wood and I string with Louis So
Dol, that is if anybody is to give
Mr.. Astaire run for the dancing
money, it will be Dorothy Stones
husband.
Bill Hoyle will be interviewed to-
night by Bob Hurleigh over Sta
ton WOI, at e. listen tn nv
aide-de-campS.
