Janet Gaynor and Robert Tay-

fire entertainers, so it is not sur
prising that their lightly amusing

desperation.

and final week at RKO-Keith's

This Hollywood version of the
famous ziegfeld musical which
derives from Edna Ferber's epic
story of the river gambler, Raw
enal, has been brought to the
screen with all of the vigor and
tunefulneSs of the stage produc-
ton.
Jerome Kern, composer of the
music, and oscar Hammerstein

James Whale stuck closely to

Glen Echo Parks Maestro Is q
FuII-FIedqed Lawyer

Phil O'Brien, the red-headed
Irish lad who directs Dave McWll-
liams' orchestra at Glen Echo
Park, is probably the most para
doxical musical maestro in Wash
ington.
To begin with, imagine an Irish
boy directing swing music in a
Spanish Ball Room. But then a
combination of the Spanish and
the Irish traditionally makes for
high dynamics, and the theory is
proven at Glen Echo.
Maestro O'Brien is also a full
fledged practicing lawyer. But
with that Irish gift of backing
gracefully into things. Phil makes
law his hobby. something to play
with when he's not too busy.
Swing music is the serious busi-
ness of Phil's life and working
out a new hot rhythm his idea
Of something real. something ear

cases come under the head of

player, is lending so much enjoy
able woofy-goofy business to the

Some people claim that 10 must

play construction and lines are
noticeable features of THE
Guardsman," the Metro-G -Goldwyn-
Mayer comedy which began
second week at the BelaSco
theater yesterday.
The situation of the story, by
Ferenc Molnar, the highly sophis-
ticated Hungarian dramatist, puts
an immediate strain on it's prin-
cipals. 1t concerns an actor who
is inSanely jealous of his wife,
and makes love to her in disguise,
in order to test her loyalty to
him.
The play was an enormous sue,
cess on the stage, and it has
been brought to equally success
full cinema fruition by the same
stars, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon-
tame.
Lunt shines both as the actor
and the amorous, deep-voiced
Russian CoSSack, and as the wife
with the enigmatic eyes, Lynn
Fontanne runs him a close race
for first honors.
"The Plow that Broke the
Plains" a Resettlement Admins
tration film, is one of the most
graphic fact pictures that has
ever been shown. It is, in brief, a
story of what has happened to
the Great Plains of the West.
Where once there was grass and
buffalo, and later. tremendous
fields of waving grain, there is
now a barren land: the beginning,
unless gigantic work is done, of
a great desert.
What the government has ac-
compliShed so far, and the need
for greater accomplishment, to re-
habilitate this tremendous terri
tory, is shown in such stark and
indiSputable facts as to lift the
picture far above any charges of
propaganda or politics. It is n
picture that all Americans, Of
every political faith. should see.
For it shows a condition in which
all Americans have a most vital
interest.

Legion Bonus

The National Press Club audi
torium will be the scene of a
Bonus Payoff" celebration, Spon.
Sored by members of the Ameri-
can Legion, which they have titled
a stag jamboree, on Friday eve
ming. June 10.
This affair will be set within
an atmosphere reminiscent of
World War days, embellished with
a flavor "Over There" to lend the
color tone.
Honored guests Of the evening
will include the editorial directors
of the local Hearst papers, who,
in the opinion of many veterans,
made their legislative fight for the
payment of the bonus a possibility.
The committee in charge of this
affair has been assured the COM
plete cooperation of the managers
of the downtown theaters in the
contribution of talent appearing
currently at their respective
houses.
Throug the courtesy of the local
broadcasting stations Gordon Hit
tenmark and Arthur Godfrey, Ar
thur Reilly and other ethereal
stars will appear on the entertain
ment program.
Other big names which sparkle
on the marqees have rendered
their acceptance to the invitations
sent out by the veterans commit
tee to help make their party a
success.
Plans are under way to have cer-
tificates of merit of the merican

in the District in recognition for
the splendid support given the Dis

A Robust Comedy
Joe E. Brown, in Sons O. Guns"
a robust and at times excruciating-
ly hilarious comedy, does as good
a chore as he has ever performed
for the screen.
Playing with Mr.. Brown are
three feminine leads, Joan Blon-
dell, as a French barmaid; Wini
Shaw. as a vampire (not the ORA
cula kind, and Beverly Roberts,
his fiancee-for a while.
The story center about the tribu-
lationS of an actor, selling Liberty
bonds to begin with, because this
was back in those pre-bonus days.
He becomes inadvertently, you
might say, attached to the Army
and goes on to romance and mar
tial glory.
Well Plotted Story
It has every essential Of the
usual Joe E. Brown comedy per-
fected to the nth degree. Aside
from its ccmical intent the film
has a much better integrated story
than is usual for a comedy and
the plot integrity is rather rigidly
observed. All of which means that
the comedy is much more enjoy
able. One doesn't feel at all as
if the gags had been dragged into
the thing willy-nilly.
Other Hollywood notables in
the cast include Eris Blore, who
does quite an exceptional bit as a
butler turned into leathery, nail
chewing sergeant.

FURY OPENS AT PALACE
YoshQBunChuk
Music Held
At Fox

Again the baby symphony OF 80,
with Yasha Bunchuk conducting,
dominates the new Fox program.
The cello section has been
moved UP on the stage and the vio-
lin strings moved into the pit, but
otherwise the musical picture pre-
sentS the same imposing arrange
ment as last week.
Bunchuks overture comprises Sc
lectionS from Victor HerbertS Pan
Americana, Caucasian Sketches"
by Ippolito Ivanow and the
"Marche Slave" by Tschaikowsky.
For an encore, a condescension to
the popular craze in a rhumba ar
rangement that sacrifices both
melody and dignity for tum-tum
rhythm.
Conductor Bunchuk works mar
vels with a limited instrumental
ton and his musical selections
have been artfully chosen to show
off his artists to the best advan-
tage.
FINE MUSIC
Talbot Haslett, another hold
over, sings a new group of songs.
On the runway he offers an origi-
nal arrangement of Whats the
Name of That Song" and That's
Why DarkieS Were Born" num-
bers which reveal the robust quail
ity of his well trained voice. For
an encore Lost" and off to q
great big hand.
That old vaudeville veteran,
Herb Williams, is loyal to his
laugh loaded act. He has the fall
apart piano which disgorges A
fuzzy cat, the gallows for his pet
annoyer, the Grover Cleveland
bathing suit, and his talk about
Conspiracy" and Them Bells"
His is a standard comedy act that,
despite familiarity, still possesses
plenty of punch.
The De Long sisters, three
clever acrobats, and Gold and
Bernie in dancing nonsense COM
plete the stage program.
Forgotten Faces" on the
screen, comes from a magazine
story by Richard Washburn
Child 1t is rather grim mix
ture that contains quite a bit OF
suspense and one of the "phoni-
est" finishes I have ever seen
tagged on to a Hollywood feature.
Herbert Marshall plays Harry
Ashton, a polite gambling gentle
man. who discovers that his wife
has been trifling and proceeds to
pay the cheater off with a bullet.
Thereafter Convict Ashton de-
votes his life to making sure that
his little daughter is brought up
beyond her mothers influence.
This he accomplishes by turning
her over to a policeman-pal who
sees that the child is adopted by
a good family.
A GRIM STORY
Gertrude Michael plays the
faithless mother who never lets up
in the quest for her. offspring
When she finally locates the girl
Papa Ashton is present to foil any
reconciliation, accepts a bullet and
dies nobly. while the wife falls
over high balcony in trying to
escape. If your Imagination is
good you can call this a happy
ending. Robert Cummings and
Jane Rhodes serve nicely in the
juvenile roles.
Herbert Marshall never cracks
a smile throughout the action and
his sober face grows a little tire
some. Gertrude Michael in her
first big dramatic part serves very
nicely. E. A. DUPONT directed.
The Movietone newsreel with
shots of the Cleveland convention
and the new COP. nominee
completes the program.
