to be catered to accordingly. Al
most overnight the great majority OF
movie patrons have demanded enter
tainment of more substantial flavor.
A forceful Illustration of this new
trend is reflected in a group OF the
most pretentious films about to be
released-and in the endings that are
being fashioned for practically all
films of today. In both cases some
revolutionary shake-ups have been IN
order.
The orthodox romantic theme,
wherein boy meets girl, woos her and
wins her at the finish, Is no longer
considered the essential groundwork
for moneymaking picture.
Many doomed "Mutiny on the
Bounty" to dismal box-office death
because its boy-meets-girl angle was
neglected almost completely. On the
very eve of the productions start. as
sociates OF Louis B. Mayer, M-G-M
chief, begged him to have the script
rewritten in order to stress the sex
angle more prominently. The picture
went out as originally planned to be-
come the greatest profit maker in the

aged the studio to make Captains
Courageous, in which an elderly
woman is the only feminine member
of the troupe. That sexless adventure
tale Is listed among the company's
three best money pictures OF the cur
rent year.

trail Of profits LETT by "Mutiny

ducers to toss old formula standards

.Gigli's Debut
A Musical
Treat
Forever Yours" at
Little, Has Only
Songs, Though.
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.


LUSIC lovers no doubt will find
M a lot to their liking in For
ever Yours" now at the Little
= Theater for the first time In
Washington. 1t will be found on the
sound track, however, and not in the
part of the celluloid that is reflected
upon the screen.
The sound track carries the glorious
lyrical voice of Beniamino Gigli. re-
corded fiawlessly, and happily it car
ries that voice often. There's one
sequence that is truly musical treat.
It's one Of those "opera-star-on-world
tour" things, with programs bouncing
about, the globe spinning, crowds
cheering and whatnot, but you don't
have to look at it-you can close your
Martha" Faust" "Lohengrin," !"
"L'Africaine" and some others.
All in all, Gigli is permitted to bring
thrilling life to music from nine
operas ("Il Trovatore,' "Rigoletto, I"
"Mignon," La Favorita" and "Elisir
d'Amore" are the others), and he's
always bouncing in with the theme
song of the film, an italian love song
tiled "Forget-Me-Not" Those who
know say Gigli never has sung more
beautifully than he has into the micro
phones for Forever Yours" and one
OF those who does not know is willing
to agree with them on the grounds
that his voice is superb here and never
could have been much better.
But music is all Forever Yours"
has. 1t is strictly for listening to and
not for looking at. It would be swell
on the radio with the dialogue cut out.
1t is about lass who spends the first
third Of the picture boy-meets- -girling,
with fellow some British producer
has mistaken for a cinema heart
throb, the middle Of the film being a
guiding light and wife at the same
time to the singer portrayed by Senor
Gigli, the last third trying to decide
whether or not she should run away
to Australia with the fellow she loved
in the first place. She should have
run away with the assistant director
before the thing started and she would
have been lot happier.
And If the story didn't bog itself
down it still wouldn't be given a
chance by the players. Senior Gigli,
for all his voice, cuts no romantic
figure, and Miss Joan Gardner, while
she almost comes to life occasionally,
most Of the time is no better than the
others, who read their lines like efo-
cution students who have cut too
many classes.

That's the theme color of the new

1t has been said, however, that

the news has leaked out that the

most elaborate production sponsored
by Maxim Lowe In Calvert street
history.

The breakfast and Kain's music both

the Earle all week, will do his broad
casts from Wardman this evening and
tonight. There are two of them, of
course, the second one at midnight
growing out of the fact that they
have Pacific time in California instead
of Eastern daylight saving time.
What could be more natural than
Kain's band entertaining Heidt's band

that the infant was born without
eyeballs.
DR.. j. G. Bell, resident eye, ear,

James N. Greear, prominent sur
geon, who examined the child, said
that had normal eyeballs been
present it would have been posi-
bic to give the child sight by slit
ting the sealed lids. Commenting
on the case, DR.. Bell said:
"ThiS is an extremely rare
phenOmenOn-a baby born with
the absence Of eyeballS.. The
nature of the case makes it i'm
possible to graft normal eyebalIs
int the sockets, an operation
sometimes successful"
The child was born to Essie Mat

Says:

! often wonder why nm Far.
Iey'S pOstmen are so accurate
delivering monthly bills, but
when anything's lost in the
mails it's always something else.
For instance, there was the time
wrote a letter to Colonel Lind
bergh. never got an answer
ana at first I thought the
Colonel was SnOOty. Then l
learned that Oswald, in address
ing the envelope, had forgotten
to put an "h" at the end Of
Lindbergh's name. The post
man probably didn't know who
1t was for.
In fact, I remember a similar
instance a year ago. 1 sent a
special delivery to Pittsburgh
and forgot to put the "h" on the
end. The letter turned up in
Peoria, Ill. So 1 often wonder
what happens when a person
fcrgets to dot all the is on a
letter to Cincinnati. 1t must
cause quite a lot of confusion
among the postal clerks.
But when anyone posts Q bill
Farley's lads are like the Cana
dian mounted pOlice-they get
their man. A guy could address
a past-due notice to Knute Muir
ply, Hollywood, FlOrida-but on
the first of the month 1t would
turn up in my mail.
