but before he can conclude that
Boyer is the other man the latter
turns the affair of honor into a
burglary Are we going too fast for
you? That is the speed and the
course of the film at any rate.
After Boyer has left, with the wife
and her jewels (this is pretty compli-
cated), Give remains behind to kill
the chauffeur so suspicion will be
directed against the burglar who, in
just few minutes, he concludes is
his wife's lover. He is right, but
little early.
From there on it gets more and
more dizzy without ever becoming
completely incomprehensible.

NJ BOYER is his old ineffably
tender self in this picture, an
utterly irresistible fellow. Especially
so to a woman who has suffered
through the years with cad like
Colin Give. It is hard to believe that
Give could have changed so much
since he was the heroic Stanhope in
Journeys End" but that probably is
what Hollywood does to chap. He
is splendidly vicious now.
Miss Arthur is coming along nicely
with her acting. She looks more
starry-eyed than ever in this Wistful
role and there's an aura of convic-
ton about most of the things she
does, even in such an incredible
yarn.
However, strive as they will, mem
bers of the cast look pretty pallid
as compared with the performance
of that iceberg. 1t strikes the ship,
breaks into a million pieces, which
60 slithering down decks, and gener-
ally behaves like one of the coldest
killers ever to reach the screen.
Those who have imagination enough
to go along with it will find the iceberg
an enchanting addition to cinema
melodrama. And they probably will
like History Is Made at Night" as a
highly diverting thing.
The usual array of short subjects
gives the audience time to catch its
breath before it has to 60 back to
the hum-drum world where it is easier
to believe what it sees.

''Maytinne"
m aims
At Palace
NJ G. M. Musical Is
Among Best of
It's Kind.

vt is rather arrogant type OF
lily-gilding to sing the praises of
"Maytime,' the super musical
i which entered its second week at
the Palace yesterday. "Maytime" can
do its own singing well enough to
satisfy the most discriminating taste.
M.-G.-M saw to that when it COM
missioned Jeannette Macdonald and
Nelson Eddy to sing and be sad in the
poignant operetta which has been
making every one happily melancholy
for two decades.
The Macdonald Eddy combination
seems destined to enlarge its audience
with this picture if there is any one
left who has not joined up.
Vocally, neither of them ever was
better, nor has either ever been more
happily cast. Miss Macdonald Is an
altogether convincing actress in her
role as the prima donna who put art
before love and then discovered, as the
story always goes, that the whole thing
was a terrible mistake. And, also on
the score of acting, Eddy shows
marked improvement as the happy
go-lucky chap who got his heart
broken. John Barrymore and Herman
Bing contribute Importantly, too, to
the telling of the "Maytime" story.
Herbert Stothart has made as many
amendments to the original score of
the operetta as have been made in the
libretto. That is great many amend
ments in the aggregate. The Sweet
heart" song is still the theme piece
but it is about the only item left of
the score which Romberg wrote so
long ago. The new music, however,
is quite up to the original standard.
Major weakness of "Maytime," If
one wants to split hairs. is its length.
Who knows, however, that any one
would spend any part of those two
hours and l3 minutes to better ad-
vantage? j. c.

picture, which Frank BorZage directed
for Walter Wanger. 1t is credible
enough, to be sure, when the mad
husband of the lovely Miss Arthur
attempts to frame her to halt their
divorce. 1t is all right, too, when the
first life is snuffed out by the enraged
Bruce Vail played by Colin Give.
But when a ship carrying 5000 per-
sons is sent crashing into an iceberg
just because someone stole his gal,
it all seems unreasonable. The Sc
quence involves some of the finest and
most dramatic photography anyone
ever has seen but it looks like stun
ming news reel shot that got pasted
In the wrong film.
Up to the point where the iceberg
steals the picture from Boyer and Miss
Arthur, they move right along with
a dramatic love story. 1t is a thing
of tenderness at one moment, extra
ordinary cruelty the next. In be-
tween, there is Leo Carrillo. Carrillo
is cast as CeSare, and plays the worlds
greatest chef to M. Boyer's worlds
greatest headwaiter. His is the COM
edy burden of the picture. His laughs
are of simple, Infectious variety
provoked by the butchery of American
slang by culinary artistic.
I'VE drown and you make wise
snaps" says Carrillo and the manner
Of his saying it makes it somehow
funny. There's comedy, too, in parts
of Miss Arthurs role, though it is
hard to believe she could find any
thing to laugh about in such spot
as she is in.
CENE TOWNE and Graham Baker,
authors of "Hisotry Is Made at
Night" start the story off at pretty
wild gallop when they show Mr.. Give
plotting to compromise his wife so
her nisi decree of divorce will be in
validated. The chauffeur is commits
stoned to do the dirty work; or is it.?
At any rate, he goes into Miss
Arthur's hotel room only to find
his professionally amorous advances
ended with a right to the jaw by
Boyer, who was standing on bal
cony outside the room and who never
was man to dodge his duty to a
lady in distress. The husband comes
back. finds the three of them there,

Swing High, Swing Low" is slap
happy tale, loosely, sometimes fam
boyantly played, by cast consisting
of four characters who were in search
of an author and found one. Maybe
two. Perhaps the reason the whole
business has such vast appeal is the
invigorating absence of actors and
actresses in the cast. Fred MacMurray
Is not an actor. Carole Lombard is
not an actress Ditto for Charles
Butterworth and Jean Dixon. They
are individuals, personalities, citizens
who have a certain line of chatter and
deliver it amusingly, gaily, to the
greater Joy of all who happen to be
within earshot.
The students of these things may
discover that MacMurray is still play

his first hit, THE Gilded Lily" They
might also note that Miss Lombard
hasn't changed very much since she
was Irene Bullock in MY Man God-
frey" Invent your own examples
at home to carry out the point about
Butterworth and Miss Dixon. The
important feature is that all four are
consistently diyerting in their present
cinematic plight, in spite Of some Of
the soupy sentimentality and not
music that the script pours around
them.
AS a comedienne, a torch singer,
q handsome lass well dressed and good
to look upon, Miss Lombard is
thoroughly satisfying. MacMurray,
the saxaphone player who became
q movie star, gets his revenge on
the brass section by initiating a hot
trumpet player, and making him at
times a bit of a noisy heel Mr..
Butterworth-ah there you have a

And Miss Dixon is just tough, tough

WOMAN,S REALM =
Your Children
By Olive Roberts BarGoa

It is Saturday and the children are home from school. Mrs. Ellis has a luncheon-bridge engagement, but first she has to do some shop ping. So she gets Reta to come in and stay with Hal and Dorothy. She very kindly leaves money for afternoon movies, and sees that there is plenty of food prepared for an ice lunch. In addition, every- thing is all ready to put the finish- ing touches to a six o'clock dinner because she knows that she will be late getting home.
 The Russian Ballet is in town, and MT. and Mrs. Ellis have tickets for the evening. So she suggests that Reta stay over and help with a taffy, pull, telling Hal and Dor othy to invite some of their friends in.
 Beyond Criticism, But
 In every way, Mrs. Ellis is a good manager and fine mother. Her children are well cared for and happy. This is an excellent way to arrange for the days she is going to be out, and .Reta has been care- fully selected and is dependable.
 Could there be any criticism of Mrs. Ellis? None, whatever. She needs time of her own to enjoy herself. Housekeeping and mother ing is a monotonous job.
 But with this good mother of at her party, let us talk about her behind her back.
 She belongs to a club, several of whose members are business women. They cannot play bridge or go of to luncheons through the week, so Saturday is their Roman holiday, naturally.
 And Father Ellis likes to do things Saturday night, because he does not have to get up Sundays.
 So Saturday is her day out al- most every week, just when the children are at home.
 What They're Missing
 It would not matter too much at that, except for the fact that this is one day the children are free to see things they cannot at- tend through the week. For ex- ample, not @ dozen blocks away is a museum, filled to bursting with fascinating birds and animals. A department on minerals, with uncut gems and varieties of marbles rocks and meteorites are a liberal education themselves. There are ajsles of huge cases depicting the races of the world in their natural habitats. A floor is devoted to glass, china and pottery.
 Then every Saturday there IS either children's concert in town or @ performance by the Childrens Theater Group. There is the Zoo and the Marionette show. Not any of these have Hal and Dorothy seen. They live on movies. II Mrs. Ellis could arrange to get a Subst'- tute on some of her club days, she really would enjoy taking the chil- dren out with her. Even on Satur- day nights, Daddy might arrange to include the children in some of his fun, If they are old enough to stay up until ten or eleven and the opera or ballet is suitable.

1t was necessary to establish that suit. It was also essential that trumps be drawn.
 If the trumps broke three and two, then by shortening his own trump holding he could still ruff one diamond in dummy, two clubs in his own hand and discard his heart loser while drawing the last adverse trump.
 Carrying out his plan, he return. ed q club and r,iffed. He then led Q small diamond to the queen, and returned another club. which he ruf1ed.
 He now laid down the king and queen of spades, 0vertaktilg the queen with the ace. Both opponents followed suit.

And she Is satisfied that with those. two qualities any woman can be a lady. Sympathy makes a woman want to put others, from the lowest to the highest, at ease.

 Intelligence also shows her how to look the part of 6 lady, and how to gain the boise we associate with the word.
 Miss Wilding told me that she has photographed titled ladies who had no notion of how to sit or walk gracefully, and who found hands and feet as much in the way as a self-conscious school girl.
 And that she has photographed girls who had gained position by their own charm and brains who moved with perfect assurance and gracefulness.
 All of which makes her think that even the appearance of 2 lady is not as much @ matter of blue blood as what goes on in the back of the brain.
