Suspense in
Met Film
The Woman Alone''
Is Dramatic and
Gripping.

IF YOU'D like to help yourself to
man-sized portion of jitters,
chills and shakes, just take look
L at this Alfred Hitchcock directed
''The Woman Alone" now playing at
the Metropolitan.
When Oscar Homolka sends his
young brother-in-law traipsing across
London innocently Juggling a parcel
every one in the audience knows is
going to blow sky high at las pm,
there's not many an onlooker who can
remain calm and collected. The
youngster stops for all the things a
youngster is bound to stop for, takes
his time, and you find yourself hold
ing your breath and making quick
glances at the clock beside the Nets
screen, as if it could tell you how
much time 'the lad has.
"The Woman Alone" probably would
just be routine melodrama in other
hands, but not in Mr.. Hitchcocks. He
is a citizen who knows how to create
suspense. He can take grippingly
dramatic situation right up to the
breaking point and he knows when to
stop. He builds his suspense all the
way to the peak and never lets 1t slip
beyond into the utter melodrama that
brings laughter in the place Of keen
interest. That is the talent which
makes this picture something the
thriller fans shouldn't miss.
This tale of a man engaged in q
little quiet sabotage intended to ter
rify all Londoners, while his wife re-
mains innocent until she kills him
and marries a handsome lad from
Scotland Yard, proves, too, that the
Britons can make high-speed films.
The swift action, as well as the dra-
matte suspense, is another trade mark
of the fine Italian hand.of Mr.. Alfred
Hitchcock.
In addition to Mr. Homolka's con.
sistently sinister performance, "The
Woman Alone" is helped along its
path by Sylvia Sidney. John Loder
(the chap from the Yard) and Des-
mond Tester, the lad who totes the
bomb. H. M.

ing a piece of warfare as was that
storming Of Acre in 1.-THE Crusades."
THE entire cast, from the stars
down to the Indians (who are
mighty Indianish looking Indians, in
cidentally), performs "The Plains
man" with a high degree Of skill and
4 stimulation Of reality that is some
thing near to flawless. Gary Cooper,
as wild Bill" Hickock, has a role
to which he is admirably suited II the
descriptions Of Hickock are anything
like accurate. Lean, gangling, soft
spoken and hard-fisted he Is supposed
to have been, and that's the sort of
a fellow Cooper makes him-not a
bad man" but q patriot ready to
do battle at the drop Of hand
toward a holster. Cooper has done
a fine job.

Keith Film
AChallenge
To Society

IF SOCIETY Is not ashamed Of
itself after seeing ''You Only Live
Once" then it is precisely the
kind of stupid animal which the
film that opened at Keith's yesterday
would imply.
The smugness with which the non
criminal class may regard itself comes
of bad second best in this fllm, q
dramatic thing which deals with q
young couple driven t. despair, hunger,
robbery, murder and finally death,
when all they wanted in this world
was the right to live and love. Be-
cause of misguided, but never ma
ncious childhood, the youth had a
prison past. He wanted to go straight
when the girl and his apparent chance
to do so arrived, but society said mo"
in terms too ugly to be disbelieved.
So, because there was nothing else
to do. the lad went wrong again and
for love of him the girl went also.
The tone Of this picture, which
Walter Wanger made with the money
and the blessing o. United Artists, is
a continuous high-pitched snarl. It
is designed to shock complacent citi-
zens out of their complacency. If it
fails Of that, it nevertheless should
succeed in making most spectators
pause and think. Not all Of filmland's
product can hope to achieve that
much.
Henry Fonda is the youth who Is
not allowed to 60 straight. His part
Is one in which any good actor would
revel. It gives him a chance to run
the scale Of the emotions from tender
love for the girl to savage despair
over the ways of society in general.
If he hits a false note here and there
it Is lost in the General excellence Of
his performance.
Sylvia Sidney Is the girl who be.
lieves in Fonda's eddie Taylor"
More than that, she loves him. She
sticks by her faith and her love until
violent death overtakes them both
and she is convincine al the way.
There are other meritorious per-
formances in this film, notably those
of william Gargan, a prison chaplain;
Barton McLane, as a public defender
with a striking perception of right
and wrong, and Jean Dixon, who Is
her usually reliable self in the part
Of an elder sister. u. G. :

New Film
At Capitol
Has Drama
"Beloved Enemy" Is
Treated With
Sympathy.

HERE is ever drama in the con-
flict between devotion to q
woman and devotion to duty
Il The new motion picture at the
Capitol, Samuel Goldwyn's Beloved
Enemy" is no exception. It is an
engrossing cinema story, told with both
power and tenderness.
Power and tenderness, of course,
may not be exactly what you would
term sister emotions, but they both
can apply to a motion picture dealing
with romance and the Irish rebellion
The romance is treated with sympathy
and feeling and the bloody days OF
Erin's troubles certainly provide drama
that is forceful and moving.
This is not another "Informer" Mr.
Goldwyn has built out Of those trying
times, but it Is sincere story with
drama aplenty. Even though you know
all the time it is intelligent and
skillful cinema trickery, you can't help
but become exceedingly interested In
this case of the Irish leader in love
with an English girl and torn between
the cause and his heart.
The story, in this case, benefits
appreciably through the fact it is
performed with considerable integrity
by an accomplished cast. Brian
Ahene is an actor both capable
enough and sensitive enough to create
perfectly the lad with a blaze in
his soul for his Ireland and fire in his
heart for the girl he loved. It is
an intelligently conceived and warmly
alive characterization Aherne has
turned in.
Miss Merle Oberon, the girl in the
case. Is another motion picture per-
former who has the skill and the
feeling to create a screen character
who seems real. She does so here with
the utmost sympathy. There are
others, too-Colin Give and Donald
Crisp, particularly-whos seem to have
been plucked from the Ireland of the
time instead of from casting list.
Eleanor Holm (Jarrett) and Art
Jarrett headline the Capitol's stage
show, this time without benefit OF
Mr.. Jarrett,s orchestra. In all due
credit to the band Art had when he
last was here, it must be said that
Mr.. and Mrs. Jarrett get along quite
well without it. They sing pleasantly
(though Mr.. Jarrett's voice is a little
better than his swimming star wife's),
they clown bit about that Olympic
business, they seem to be very fond
of one another and yesterday evening
the customers liked them very much.
The rest Of the bill Is uniformly
enjoyable. There's some good dancing
some straight and some comedy. by
Ross Wyse, jr., and June Mann; there's
robust humor by Italian Comic Harry
Burns and his cohorts, and the Honey
family start the proceedings of with
their smoothly accomplished difficult
acrobatics. H M.

"PATIENCE" Is Received
WITH VIGOROUS ACCLAIM
| FRIDAY night audience which

= entirely ignored the fact that
Patience" Is not one of the most
popular of the Gilbert and Sullivan
operas possessed an apparently in
satiable appetite for it at the National
Theater last night. Its applause may
not have been the peak for the two
week engagement Of the D'Oyly
Carte company, but it was not far
from that lofty pinnacle.
Patience" is not the most singable
thing in the repertoire Of the COM
pany, but apparently its members
never had heard such thing for they
sang it with the same astonishing zest
that they do the simpler and more
familiar works.
It is satirical, Of course, but satire
that is garbed in such infectious good
humor that it turned out to be one
e< the most amusing Of the nine
operas.
One of the happiest things to be
said for Patience" Is that 1t has
Martyr Green in one Of his more
spirited moods. Mr.. Green Is the
"fleshly poet" Of the p:'ce and 1t is
a part in which he positively reves.
Few actors or singers revel more
appealingly than Mr.. Green.
Darrell Fancourt's bass voice and
basso figure decorate the part Of the
colonel, and his song in the first act
was one of the most enthusiastically
received bits Of the evening. When
Fancourt finished with the encores,
with the help of the chorus, there were
no possible variations.
Like its predecessors, Patience" is

Warner Bros. contrive to preach as
powerful a sermon as you are likely
to hear in months Of fllm-going.
"The Black Legion" Of course, is
more than a sermon. It Is q very
dramatic piece of photography pecu-
liarly designed to make the spectator
painfully aware that all is not perfect
In this best-of-all-possible worlds.
A foreword tells the audiences Of
"The Black Legion" that the whole
thing is entirely fictitious. You can
believe that if you want to, but If you
remember what the newspapers were
saying not so long ago about goings-on
in Michigan and other spots in the
Midwest you will find striking par
allel between those reports and what
happens in the Warner Bros latest
production. One would swear, in the
vague way that such things are
remembered, that the reporters who
wrote those stories wrote the script Of
'The Black Legion" The connection
Is at least that close.

as full Of deficiencies which permit
otherwise decent individuals to be
lured within the odious orbit Of ter
roristic groups and to be kept there
by a craven fear after they have
become aware Of the original error in
Joining. The implications Of "The
Black Legion" are that the human
species is base, stupid and cruel and
its eloquence is such that the spectator
comes away feeling that it Is not far
from correct.
Briefly, its story is that Of factory
worker who feels that he has been
treated unjustly when bright
co-worker, born of alien parents, is
promoted to the foremanship to which
the former aspired. At first, he is nat

1t Is fairly well known by this time
that De Mile started out to make a

that this wild Bill" Hickock was

As an expose Of the methods Of
such groups, the film Is one OF the
most remorseless things that Holly
wood has contrived. In its unpleasant
ness, however, it achieves fascina-
ton that many q film built around q
more pleasant subject could never hope
to achieve.
One Of the excellent reasons for
this circumstance Is Humphrey Bo-
CART. II you don't recognize the name.
he is the chap who played Duke
Mantee in 1.-THE Petrified Forest" In
his latest film Bogart gives per-
Torrance in nowise inferior to that
which enabled him almost to steal
his first picture from Leslie Howard.
Others in the cast who give excellent
performances are Erin O'Brien-Moore
as the wife of Bogart, Helen Flint
as a lady Of darkness and Samuel
Kinds as the judge. AS the agent OF
the intelligent society, Mr.. Hinds
speaks a piece at the end Of the film
which Is one Of the few things in It
designed to send the audience home
feeling it cannot be so bad, after all.
The Black Legion" is not a pretty
film. Indeed, 1t is quite the reverse.
But it makes effective drama just the
same.
MUSIC Is the dominant note Of the
A'A Earle's stage show. It would have
to be with Harry Reser and his radio
orchestra providing the headline act.
Mr.. Reser and his boys have been
around a long time now, filling
theaters and the ether with melody.
They have remained so long because
they know just what kind Of music
has the highest ear appeal. Particu-
larly is this true Of Reser himself.
If there is such thing as a banjo
virtuoso, Reser must be it. Yesterday
afternoons audience obviously felt
that way about it, and succeeding ones
will be no different.
Paul Gerrits, Vic and Lamar and
the Keene twins constitute three other
acts which with the feature and Reser
add up to bill that would not need
two-reel "Popeye" to be good. The
two-reeler, however, is thrown in for
extra measure, and it's very fine
"Popeye."
