@HAT famous old home Of
moider. mystery and mis-
chance, the Metropolitan Thea
ter. has as its tenant this
week another of the Bulldog Drum
mond series, this one known as Bull
dog Drummond Comes Back" Just
where Capt Hugh C. Drummond had
been We cannot tell you, having been
off his correspondence list for some
time, but at least he's back again,
and rather restless about the whole
matter
This time he is pursued, harassed
but never daunted by couple of
zanies who resent the fact he was
responsible for sending to the gallows
some relative Of theirs. The zanies
in turn are chased by John Barry
more, cast as suave inspector in
Scotland Yard. whimsical fellow
given to Disgusting himself as a fish,
erman, bar fly, a smoothie, hero in
VOLTS clothing. Object of the chase
is to retrieve Capt. Drummond's
flance. who has been kidnapped by
the villain and villainess of the piece
The pursuit motif is carried out in
everything from rhyme to reason.
while the comedy relief. so necessary
to ease the strain of heavy melo-
drama. is supplies by E. E. Give and
| Reginald Denny. Mr.. Give has one
moment OF pure genius when. as a
gentleman's gentleman definitely op-
posed to matrimony. he is required to
remove the evening cape of Capt.
Drummond's lady fair. He handles it
like man who has been ordered to
cart away fine load of old, old fish.
Mr.. Barrymore has not been so
baleful of eye, so wild of mien in
many a picture. and evidently en-
]oyed his antics as abetted by the
makeup artists. The Bulldog Drum
mond OF this edition is John Howard
a plausible young man and poten-
TALLY good actor. but scarcely as
smooth as his famed predecessor
Ronald Colman. The heroine is
Louise Campbell, Of whom little is
seen, but that agreeable enough. As
Ior the villain interest, can't tell YOU
thing. The scoundrels disguised
themselves behind all manner of
Deards and wells and whatnot. and
scared the Stats out of us, but left no
clues as to their identity.

"Stella Dallas" Back
At Columbia.

THEY laughed when Samuel Gold
wyn sat down and decided to
make another version of Stella
Dallas" but their laughter turned to
good. honest tears when the picture
began return engagement at the
Columbia yesterday. There still is a
lot of power in this almost classic
tale of mother love and sacrifice and
1t is effectively disclosed in Barbara
Stanwyck's portrayal of the central
character. Miss Stanwyck, in fact,
gives the best performance of her
career.
The major criticism to be Brought
against the new Interpretation OF
Stellas moving story is that the
director could not let poignant enough
alone. He always had to make it
more poignant and sometimes ii
seems to be asking too much. That
weakness, however, is not great
enough to justify those who approve
of mother love in not going down to
see Miss Stanwyck doing so we'll. And
Ann Shirley as the daughter doing
even better. j. c.

Walter Wanger's Vogues of 1888,

There is color here aplenty-rich. gor-
geous, true tones that make "Vo9ues'
the most eye-appealing film to hi
town in many a moon. There are
warm deep reds and purples; there
are cool green's; there are splashes OF
many hues now and then thrown or
the screen that make you gasp al
their beauty.
The eye appeal of "Vogues' is fur.
ther enhanced by its fashions and the
models under the fashions. Hailed as
Hollywood's threat to Paris, the pic
ture is one colorful and beauteous
fashion parade from beginning to
end. There are gowns for cocktails
gowns for the afternoon, gowns fol-
the evening, gowns for eating in
gowns for going to the opera in
gowns for everything, and there are
hats and hats and hats and then
chapeaus. It's field day for the
feminine film fans.
And this style show of "Vogues'
shouldn't prove boring for the guys
who take the gals to see it because
all the gowns and all the chapeaus
are worn by the most photographed
girls in the world" And the girls
have never photographed lovelier. The
technicolor cameras make some oil
them downright luscious.
But eye appeal, it must be said, is
almost all the film has. If it were
not for the color and the fashions and
the girls it would be no understate-

neISel tne more thoroughly tndJ all
men are beasts, or fools, or just lit
tie boys at heart. Those implications
run all the way through the picture
and often they are contrived in a
form that manages to be deeply NOV
ing. When they are, it usually is Miss
Davis who makes them that way. Her
long practice in suffering, though
hardly in silence, turns out to be a
strangely saving grace at moments
when all seems about to be lost.
The Valentines day massacre in
Chicago is the springboard from which
the script writer leaped with this
latest armful of trouble for Miss Da-
Wis. When the picture opens, she is
the widow of one of the slain gang
Sters. She is trying to establish a
new and solid place for herself in
the world. The press, which Warmers
seem determined We all shall hate,
is doing its best to keep her from sue
cess, but her boss, misunderstood
husband, is the kind Of person who
can Illustrate the press single handed.
He is fine man, and Miss Davis
should have loved him. She does not.
Instead she loves wealthy weakling
who marries her, then goes home to
father because father says, Come
home" There's an annulment of the
marriage, baby, and all the other
elements that make up this familiar
vicious circle
X
VET, because of Miss Davis and Ian
Hunter. the picture is consider
ably better than its hackneyed plot.
1t attains conviction and suspense and
emotional impact in spite of your
determination not to be caught by
that combination of circumstances
again. There are intervals between
the conviction and suspense and tears
when one feels entirely free from it
all only to find ones self drawn back
into the thick of the disaster all over
again.
Henry Fonda, who has been giving
audiences the impression he was
Evening star., 1937-10-02

going places, still gives that impress
sion, only the places are not the
same at all. In Fonda's favor 1t
can be said that the script writer
could not have written it more ef-
fectively if his worst enemy were
going to play it. Mr.. Fonda's rich
young man is inept in his every
thought and gesture and Fonda
brings him to life with what seems
at times to be obvious distaste for
the whole thing.
AS the misunderstood husband, who
would like to have Miss Davis wreck
his home if she only would, Ian Hun
ter shows himself once more as a
capable actor. Anita Louise, War
ner's prettiest blond, is called upon
to do very little as the invalid wife
OF Fonda's weakling, but she Is espe-
cially lovely to look at in that wheel
chair.
1T is a very appealing child that
the studio has found to play the
aftermath Of that brief honeymoon Of
Miss Davis and Fonda. His name is
Dwane Day, which somehow seems a
shame since he looks just like a kid
named Butch
On the whole, Edward Goulding
who directed the picture and Miss
Davis are to be congratulated on
doing so much with so little that
was fresh from the standpoint of
entertainment.
Xavier Cugat and his band and
specialists contribute the vaudeville
portion Of the bill. Senor Cugat's
music is a proper blending of that

Suffer From Chiyb!nins?
Here's H0aU TO PreUeyst II

When another kind Of impulse goes
along these nerves, the muscles OF
the arteries relax, more blood goes
into them, and the foot gets red
and hot.
Impulses Feat and Cold
The impulses which cause these
changes are mostly heat and cold,
and the results are always, under
normal conditions of health, bene-
fetal and protective. But some
times the mechanism gets mixed
up, and impulses without any rec
ognizable or sensible cause go
down to the blood vessels. In one
of these conditions, which was de-
scribed by physician named
Raynaud, and is therefore called
"Raynaud's disease, the skin on
the toes, for no conceivable reason,
at times gets white and cold and
insensible. Attacks of this kind
may follow each other at short In
tervals until they become practl-
cally continuous, and the blood
supply is so fully cut off that the
skin decays from lack Of nutri-
tion-the condition Of gangrene.
The most curious feature Of this
disease is that it is symmetrical
both little toes, or both big toes,
for instance, will be the seat OF the
change. Obviously the mechanism
is that the arteries go into spasm,
but what causes that no one
knows.
A different condition, first de-
scribed by our American physician,
S. Weir Mitchell, goes by the jaw
breaking name, erthyromefalgia.
Here the foot Pushes and gets pur-
pie and painful.
Chilblains, obviously, Is a conoi-
ton somewhat like these, In that
the victim has unstable circulation
in the feet which is upset by colo
and damp. .
To attempt to improve TINS,
treatment before the onset OF colo
weather consists in a period OF eie-
walton of the feet for several min
utes several times during the day,
and morning and nightly use OF
contrast baths for the feet-put-
ting them first into very hot tnen
into very cold water.
