Times Special
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Roundine
out a year which put new blood in
the veins of Broadway drama, Rob-
ert Garland, New York World Tele-
gram drama critic, has chosen his
"bests" of the theatrical world.
He lists the best plays of the sea-
son as: Awake and Sing" the
much-discussed Clifford Q d e S
drama; Dead End" the lively and
human story about kids by Sidney
Kingsley; 1.-THE Petrified Forest" by
Robert Sherwood, which Leslie How
ard is to turn out for the cinema
world soon; NOAH" by Andre Obey;
Pride and Prejudice" of which
even its producer, Max Gordon, is
proud, written by Helen Jerome;
boy Meets Girl" the larruping
comedy, best since "Once in Life
Time" and Blind Alley" by James
Warwick.
The last two of Mr.. Garland's
choice are Victoria Regina the
latest triumph piece for Helen
Hayes, by Laurence Hcusman, and
accent on Youth" by Samuel
Raphaelson, which made so gallant
a movie.

Bette Davis Weaves Her
Spell in Dangerous
at Circle.

Once again Bette Davis weaves q
spell about a man. pulling him
away from the girl he loves.
In Dangerous" at the Circle
today. Miss Davis plays the role
Of Joyce Heath, a has-besn
actress who, because she seemed to
put jinx on every one with whom
she came in contact, has forsaken
the stage, substituting serious
drinking.
One night while Summing with
his flancee, Don Bellows (Franchot
Tone) sees Miss Heath in a cheap
drink place.
Now it seems that seeing Miss
Heath on the stage when he was a
boy-the beauty, the majesty of her
performance had changed his whole
life, thus he is interested in her
fate from a purely impersonal
standpoint, of course).
Don realizes. when the truth is
known. that he has been a sucker.
He married his fiancee. and Joyce.
suddenly devoted, takes flowers to
her husband.
Bette Davis is no better than
usual. She does little more acting
and less posing, but it's pretty much
thrown away. Franchot Tone APP
pears to no direct advantage, as
Don. The best of the cast is Miss
Lindsay, who is coming up in the
movie world.
You may find some stimulus to
dulled nerves in Miss Davis tan
trums, or her so-called beguiling
ways with men. We didn't. (By

promise not to tell who had helped
him until the patient was dead. It's
childish, doesn't add to the story,
but it's Mr.. Douglas privilege.
Aside from the fact that it's
preachy and melodramatic. Mag
nificent ObsesSion" is entertaining.
1t gives Miss Dunno the best chance
she had had in some time and she
takes glorious advantage of it. The
episode in which she acts the part
of the blind girl is outstanding, but
is topped by the scenes she plays
While in the hospital. These hold
realism only actresses such as Miss
Dunno can inject.
Robert Taylor whips a bit more
comedy into the part of Bobby Mer-
rick, probably, than Mr.. Douglas
intended, but he is better than the
novels Mr.. Merrick. If there is
anything the matter with Mr.. Tay-
lor, it is that he's too good looking.
Where Credit Lies
We want to give credit to Sarah
Haden as Nancy Asford, the loyal
nurse, and to Betty Furness, who,
in the role of Joyce Hudson, does
by far her best work.
Charles Butterworth is his usual
dead-pan self, stealing many of the
scenes with adroit comedy. You'll
howl when he spends all night in a
sewer with only a bottle of whisky
for company. Mr.. Armetta, Mr..
Preacher and Mr.. Morgan appear
to the pictures advantage.
If THE Magnificent Obsession" is
sample of what Hollywood can do
with Mr.. Douglas novels, we would
suggest he let the movie men re-
write them before they go to press
It's splendid melodramatic pic
ture with plenty of places for weep
ing and mental swooning.

Double Film
Offered on
Loew's Bill
If You Could Only Cook Is
Screened With An
WiIderneSSp

When Loew's theater started the
double feature policy some time
ago, people were diffident. Manager
Ward Farar decided to throw his
best card on the table to combat
arguments against two feature pic
lures on the same program. His
best argument is such picture as
"If You Could Only Cook" accom-
panying "Ah, Wilderness!" this
week.
This picture, starring Herbert
Marshall and Jean Arthur, is not
another at Happened One Night,
although it is along that line. Mr..
Marshall, far from his usual screen
procedure of being the other man,
the sacrificing sutton, in If You
Could Only Cook" is a dashing
young automobile manufacturer,
seeking romance on a park bench.
He finds it in Jean Arthur. 1t takes
many yards of film for them to find
out they are IN love.
Then Things Start
The picture comes near to being
stolen by Lionel Stander, most
unesthetical looking youth (played
the poet in 1.-THE Scoundrer). Mr..
Stander lets his lower lip droop and
steals all the best lines. Leo Car
lilo, the dialect specialist, also is a
strong link in the picture.
1t all happens when Jim Buchan-
on, chairman of the board at the
Buchanon Motors Co., becomes fed
up with his board members, fed up
also with the fact that the girl he
is to marry doesn't fit his personal
pattern for a wife. He takes refuge
on park bench.
There he meets the disheartened
Miss Hawthorne (Jean Arthur, she

Mr.. Buchanon sleeps on the porch.
Everything appears smooth and
peaceful until Mr.. Flash (Mr. STAN
der) gets the lowdown on Mr.. Bu-
chanon's identity. He fathoms Mr.
Buchanon's role as butler. It is
almost curtains for Mr.. Buchanan
until he is forced into wedding-a
wedding, we add, which ultimately
proves to be just what he wants.
Miss Arthur never has been more
casually entertaining. She is cute,
