1.-THE Firefy" Back
At Columbia.

TWENTY-FIVE years have done
nothing to the enchanting spell of

Frefly." which returned yesterday to
the Columbia with jeanette Mcdonald
and Allan Jones lending their talented
voices to the M-G-M edition of the
famous old operetta. One gets, indeed.
even more than the original Friml
score for Herbert Stothart, Metros
musical director, has added consider
able Of his own art. And, let it be said
for Mr.. Stothart, that one of his addi-
tions, The Donkey Serenade," is per-
haps the outstanding single feature of
the screen drama. Photographically as
well as vocally, it is something to re-
member.
THE Frefy" not only separates
the team OF Nelson Eddy and Miss
Macdonald, but also introduces the
latter in q departure from normal in
that she is permitted to dance. Quite
fetching she is, too, in this break with
the tradition that singers shall sing
and nothing else.
The tempo of ''The Firefly,' of
course, is hardly in keeping with that
OF current life. Its story, indeed, is told
at a tedious pace. The BACKGROUND. the
music, and the spirit of the perform
ers Is more than adequate atonement
however, for any torpor encountered in
the narration of its story. J.C.

Hold EN- Navy"
At Met, Another
Middle Win.

TT is our pleasant duty to report
that Hold EN-, Navy" the new
photoplay at Warmers Metropolis
- tan Theater. is the best Navy
football picture of the week. It is
the best partly because there is no
other Navy football picture. in town
this week, As far as We know, and
also because the plebe who cannot
take Naval Academy discipline until
he is shown the light does not come
through in the last ~ seconds Of play
and win the game from Army.
The plebe who cannot take Naval
Academy discipline until he is shown
the light Is there all right, but at the
time Navy wins the game from Army
in the last 81 seconds of play the
plebe who cannot take Naval Acad-
emy discipline until he is shown the
light is on guard duty for having
stuck his neck out so his rival, the
Nays star quarterback, could play
and win the game from Army in the
last 20 seconds Of play.
Maybe We had better try to be lucid
about it. When We entered the Met
ropolitan yesterday the plebe who
could not take Naval Academy dis
cipline until he was shown the lipht
was in the midst of incurring the
enmity of the upperclassman who was
the star quarterback, which means
ne was burning him plenty, because
ne was trying to steal the upper
classman's girl friend At the end of
the picture all was we'll because. the
star quarterback had been saved to
win the game from Army in the last
II seconds of play by the sacrifice of
the fellow who had been a plebe the
year before and who finally had seen
the light and given his all for the
Academy. And the fellow who had
finally seen the light had in his arms
the girl he had stolen from the quar-
terback
Maybe we have not been lucid about
it after all, but there is nothing fur
ther to report except that Lew Ayres
looks too old to be a plebe at An.
napolis and that We will gladly at
tempt to steal any one as delectable
as Mary Carlisle from any Navy quar-
terback, even If he is John Howard.

Ray Bolger, a good comedian but
still the best male dancer you can
think of Is not allowed to indulge in his

he does a tap routine that any novice

bers very well indeed. But they are
supposed to be in love and they never
really convince you Of the fact.
Always they seemed to be two special
lists of extraordinary merit lost in set
tings too big for any one really to
dominate.
Miss Powell's main contribution to
the entertainment is an acrobatic tap
number danced atop a series of drums.
Easily the biggest, there remains a
considerable question that 1t is the
best thing she ever has done.
The same judgment might be ap-
piled to the total picture, the un.
adulterated bigness of which probably
is the major justification for putting
1t down on your holiday program.
