EVER since the news reel camera

Sort of makes you wonder just what
you have been laughing at.
There are other things on the
TransLux bill in addition to sweep
stakes winners who laugh last
though. There's everything from Al
Smith landing at Naples to pair

clip, incidentally, is where the COM

"Her Husband Lies
an Ambling Piece,
However.
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

- ONE day there is going to be ar
uprising. All of the directors
and scenario writers who leave
~ loose ends lying about at the
end of film are going to find them
selves faced by posse of irate fans
each bearing a basketful of loose ends
and yen to stuff loose ends down
somebody's throat.
Take this picture at the Metropoli-
tan, for instance. 1t is titled Her
Husband Lies probably because Ri
cardo Cortez (husband) lies dying in
the street at the finish. while Gail
Patrick (wife) is right inside grooming
q song about no more tears because
she remembers what love was like.
We're going back some time during
the week to see If the actors don t
change the ending so some one can
run in and tell Gail 1t doesn't seem
fair that she should have been cheated
out of one last word with Ricky. She
loved him really, even if she didn't
understand him.
But the loose end which is so trou-
blesome is the case of the frustrated
detective. In the course of this am
bling melodrama about gambler who
tried to give up the racket for his
wife, but found fate against him, there
is murder committed This detec-
tive VOWS that he will ferret out the
criminal by heck if it takes him the
rest of his days, and Furthermore he
doesn't want the actual gunman half
so much as he wants the guy who told
him whom to shoot. the head man.
So he's still looking for him.
The thugs later are hired by the
chap who has Cortez done in, so
maybe the director meant to point
out that justice finally would be done
inadvertently, that even a gamblers
death while his wife sang a tepid torch
song would be avenged. If he thought
his audiences would figure this out
without more explanation, Director
Edward Ludwig was giving them credit
for more intelligence than he gave
them credit for with the rest of the
picture.
One of the bright spots in Her
Husband Lies" is steely and thor
oughly convincing performance by
AKIN Tamiroff, who furnishes the
chief support to Miss Patrick and Mr..
Cortez, who are all right in the leads.
One of the dull spots is Tom Brown.
He is cute, though.

AFTERNOON that the old MOntg
admirers could hardly believe their
eyes. Some of them laughed as if it
were all make-believe when mur-
derous leer distorted his puckish fea-
lures into something never seen before
by man or beast.
Supplementing the screen entertain
ment is 'jibe" music, played by the
so-far undsputed king of jibe, Benny
Meroff. 1t is good music of its kind,
but for all the distinction of its name
1t sounded like swing to this pair of
ears. The Meroff act, good one, hit
higher mark in some of its incidental
features than in its major speciality
The film which introduces a new
Montgomery is fashioned from the
stage play of the same name, written
by Emlyn Williams, one more young
Englishman who has been caught in
the spell of killer psychology Mont
gomery, who saw the stage version in
London and was fascinated by it,
works with genuine fervor to make it
Impressive photodrama 1t is an in
teresting undertaking, but it does not
always come off. partly because of
Montgomery's law-abiding past and
partly because the playwrights mate
rials occasionally do not jell There
are dramatic high spots, however, that
have excellent entertainment value
They compensate to some degree for
those moments when you would like
to see the astonishing Montgomery
get on with the slaughter.
"NIGHT MUST FALL" casts Mont
gomery in part that is star
tling reversal of everything he has
done before His Bond street clothes
are gone. So is that urbanity which
delighted both sexes and all ages. The
old bitter sweetness has given way to
a murder psychosis. Those arms made
for holding heroines this time are just
supports for hands which itch to get
at ladies' throats. The facile lover
gone mad, metamorphoses into the
artful murderer.
On the whole it is an acting eX-
iiams had created with the subtlety
gomery a perfect answer to those
who regard him as typed. If Will
liams had created with the sublety
that Montgomery uses in interpret
ing. Might Must FALL might have
Evening star., 1937-06-05

been a masterpiece instead of an
lntermittently thrilling murder mys-
tsry.
You will like, too, the performance
of Dame May Witty as the rich
old female fox who fooled every one
INTO believing she was an invalid
while Montgomery was fooling her
into being strangled. 1t is a grand
character performance she gives in
the part which she played on the
stage.
Rosalind Russell has the toughest
assignment in this film. She is the
girl who suspects Montgomery of
those murderous impulses, suspects
, him indeed of the gruesome killing
OF his former employers wife. She
finds herself alternately repelled by
| and infatuated with, him and it
turns out to be part too imagina-
lively conceived for reduction to
| something one always can under
| stand.
M-G-M has provided the film with
commendable quality of direction
and setting. 1t is we'll worth seeing
if only because you are curious to
find out what's come over Montgom-
cry. Boy!
MEROFF'S band introduces "jibe"
music as an offshoot of swing
though just where the note of de-
parture occurs it is difficult to say.
1t sounded like swell swing to us,
not the supersomething implied in
the magic of the new name
The bands subordinate doings to-
tailed something like one of the best
stage offerings the Capitol has had
in weeks. Meroff has saturated his
set-up with versatility. If you doubt
that, just go around. see the boys
drop their instruments and start
dancing Pat Rooney's old She's the
Daughter of Julie O'Grady" number.
There is comedy. too, in virtually
everything Meroff and the lads do,
and pleasing novelty in an orchestral
arrangement that brings you the
news of the world through the ear.
Merof himself drives the thing to
one of the cleverest climaxes imagin-
able when he takes off Sonia Henie.
