Rose Marie Is
Held Over

"Rose Marie" holds over for q
second week as you surely knew it
would, for here is a musical which
combines lovely voices with excel
lent recording, beautiful photog-
raphy and a delightful story with
magnificent natural sets.
The story concerns itself with
the Royal Northwest Mounted. col
orful figures in the Canadian prov
inceS. It seems that an escaped
convict is being trailed; he is the
brother of a famous opera singer,
and when she hears Of his trouble,
she promptly cancels all engage
ments and goes up in the North
country to find him, guided by a
treacherouS half-breed; she be-
comes indebted to the mountie
who promptly falls in love with
her, though he knows he must
place duty above all, for the fugi-
tive brother had killed an officer
of the Northwest MountedS.
Romance, with tears, love songs
and laughter! This is Rose

craft, he's rather wooden when not
singing, but his voice makes up for
any hiStrionic shortcomings.
James Stewart, Allen Jones, Alan

There are many scenes in which
Mother Nature plays a leading role
and Woody Van Dyke, who di-
rected, did not miss an opportunity
to properly place his stars. The
Totem Pole Dance, the excerpts
from opera and even the Gilda
Gray sequence are so cleverly
handled that all fit nicely into the

Contor's Strike Ne Pink Is
Back at the Columbia

"Strike Me Pink" the sixth an
nual film Eddie Cantor has made
for Samuel Goldwyn, went into its
third Washington week at the Co
lumbia yesterday. The Cantor
fans are finding the Saucer-orbed
comic at his best in a lifting plot
that skips and jumps its way
through a series of gags" that
make this perhaps the best Of
Eddie'S screen contributions.
The comedian finds his express
sion in the role of q timid little
tailor in a small college town. He
takes a correspondence course in
the art Of being "a man instead
of a mouse" When he mixes with
a lovely girl and a tough gang OF
racketeers the fmS on. His antics
when under fire are worth the
price of admission alone.

themselves are well executed and
blend nicely with the rhythm pat

is fantasy, there Is enough satire
on American Babbitry to make it
thoroughly enjoyable for the do

The story tells Of Gne ancient

and wht the last Of the Glouries
dies without avenging the ancient
feud with the MacLaggans, the
restless ghost Of Murdoch Glourie

phantom promises no peace on

Auto Horn Toots to i.
Quiet Film Workers

Almost every kind Of signal -
whistles. bells. handclaps. sirens,
yells and whatnot - has been
tried in Hollywood studios to
order "quiet" on sets and warn
that cameras and sound record
ing are in operation.
The latest is the blowing Of a
toy auto horn, an innovation in
the filming of Walter Wanger'S
~duction, THE Moons Our
Home" with Margaret SULLIVAN,
Henry Fonda and Charles Butter
worth.
The horn blast, according to Di-
rector William Setter, makes i'm
possible an alibi by noisy people
on the set that they didn't know

as a monument to American enter
prise. Tie ghost moves with the
castle and herein lies much Of the
humor.
The Sherwood story pokeS
plenty Of fun at American fads
and fancies. The Broadway honor
parade for the ghost, the hordes
of newSpapermen turning the land
ing into an occasion, the radio

ing for the baronial halls and the
ballyhoo dedication Of the Florida
chain store castle, these are gentle
gibeS at our American extrava-

suspect that Mr.. Sherwood
restrained himself from a satiri-
cal holiday such as George s.
Kaufman enjoyed in 'Beggar on
Horseback" at the expense Of mod
ern business. Or else Director
Clair was too polite to use the
bludgeon with vigor. For the
Satirical scenes pull their punches,
although they are very effective.
One of the best of the subtle
touches-pointed I think directly
at Will HayS-is the voice Of a
grandfather ghost heard whenever
the Glourie phantom threatens
to become over-romantic or stray
from moral paths.
PULLS HIS PUNCHES
The dialogue is literate and
adult, preserves delightfully."- a
care-free comedy mood. However,
the compelling feature Of "GhoSt
Goes West" is in the imaginative
quality Of the direction. the sly
wit and the smooth story telling
of an unusual screen fiction.
Robert Donat plays both the
youthful Glourie and the ances-
trail ghost. The dual role makes
no vigorous demands on his tai
entS as an actor but he is young,
straight, handsome and romantic
enough to more than satisfy his
feminine following. Little Jean
Parker from Hollywood makes a
bewitching ingenue. Eugene Pal
lette is excellent in the other i'm
portant part, that Of an Ameri.
can tycoon. A horde Of good
English actors serve efficiently
the incidental characters
'"The Ghost Goes West" win be
enjoyed most by the So-called lin
CUISINE trade. Though every reg.

has q director who can be
counted with the worlds best.

News Behind the News
Faxed Poll Tax Receipts Senate
Committee Digs In Campaign
Expenditures PrObed

WAsHINGToN-Frst report of alleged ir
regularities to the Senate committee which will
investigate campaign expenditures has to DO
with thousands of purportedly faxed poll TAX
receipts in San Antonio Tex.
Pressure on the committee, chairman of
which is Senator Lonergan of Connecticut to IN
vestgate the charges has been strong, since the
congressional district involved is that of Repre-
sentative Maury Maverick, one of the most popu-
lar and valuable members of the house.
Maverick is having a hard fight for renomi-
naton-equvalent to reelection in this heavily
Democratic territory-because of the huge sums
of money being spent to defeat him.
1t is understood here that Maverick is one
of several congressman marked for political
death by power interests, as result OF his
active participation in the battle for the public
utilities holding company bill.
His most important antagonist is Ralph w.
Morrison OF Texas. q utility man, the only
political appointee to membership on the Fed
eral Reserve Board. Morrison is reported to
have expressed willingness to spend as much
as Sl50,000 to defeat Maverick and Is SAID al
ready to have spent tens CT thousands TO elect
Mavericks opponent in the primaries of July 25
.
Morrison recently submitted his resignation
from the Reserve Board, but Roosevelt thus far
has refused to accept it. Meanwhile the presi-
dent on his southern trip paid special visit TO
San Antonio and its Alamo Ito keep a promise
I made Maury Maverick" which meant as
strong an endorsement as president can give
a candidate in party primaries.
Morrisons chief claim to fame comes from
his successful handling Of the Hamilton Dam
power project on the Lower Colorado river,
which had been started, but left uncompeted,
by the insult interests After failing in at
tenlpts to get RFC and PWA loans for develop
ment, he got bill through the Texas legisla-
ture to create state power authority to take it
over.
Then it was fixed up for the power authori-
ty to get a S12500J000 loan and S7,500000 grant
from PWA Morrison is reported to have made
a profit of 100000 sale Of the dam to the
power authority, which bought it with PWA
funds.
Politicians of the major parties are keeping
quiet about the Union Party candidacy of Con-
gresham Lemke, backed by Father Coughlin,
and probably will continue to dc so.
Strangely, perhaps radicals who believe in
a third party of one kind or another are hurting
the bitterest denunciationS at Lemke.
Communists have charged that Lemke is
stooge for Landon and the Liberty League
The American Guardian of Oklahoma City,
leading Socialist weekly, charges that Lemke
has definitely tied his organization to the open
ly Fascist Third Party outfit of Newton Jen
kins in illinois," that he announced perfect
and that jenkins has appeared with uniformed
Nazis on the platform at official Nazi meetings,
is openly anti-Semitc, and favors hanging
labor agitators" to lampposts

out with a critical article entitled "Lemke:
Crackpot for President"

A HORSE ON US

Aviators are becoming fairly adept
debaters.
If you are one of those who believe
that flying is dangerous, give ear to
Dudley Steele, chairman of California
Legion aviation committee. Steele says
he has found that more people are killed
annually by mules in this country, than
by airplanes. Steele applying to argu-
ment the reasoning which determines
stress and drag in planes, declares that
the ratio of accidents is even more con-
vincing in view of the fact that the an
nual mule-miles is much less than the
annual air miles flown by U. S. private
planes.
The learned reasoning wins its point.
After all. satire will often accomplish
more than congressional investigation.
