Ritz Brothers Back
To PLAY Columbia.

THESE few paragraphs are directed
to fans Of the Ritz Brothers, the
glorious lunatics. Both fans and
Ritzes, we meanD No one else will be
interested in the fact the Ritz
Brothers first starring vehicle, Life
Begins ut College" has now come
to the Columbia for its second F

zens who easily fall prey to the Ritz
buffoonery will be happy to know
they may see their favorites at clown
ing today, tomorrow and every day
through Thursday.
The reason this Il only for Ritz
fans Is because there is very little
to Life Begins ut College" but the
Ritz Brothers. There certainly isn't
any plot to the piece, unless you
can call the one about the guys who
win the foot ball game In the last

shouldn't you. because = lot Of other
people have in the past. But . pic

players and other things, in . COM
pletely hilarious manner. And If
the Rite Brothers are not enough to
arouse your risibilities (make you
laugh) there is Nat Pendleton, who
impersonates An Indian with 20 much
money to spend he has to have as
sistance. And il that IL not enough,
there is Joan Davis, who impersonstes

as defined by Mr.. Webster in lighter

slap-happy ending, and endowed also
with modicum of humor, contributed
by one John Oakie. Mr.. Oakie Is
quite prominent and quite funny dur
ing the earlier sequences; he is less
prominent and less funny during the
later sequences-which Is unfortunate,
for Mr.. Oakie ends up as the most
important feature Of the film.
The story (think-nothing -of-it note)
deals with an American concert singer
and his gold-digging girl friend who
deserts him for a wrestler when the
latter's manager declares that the con-
cert singer has little of this worlds
wealth (untrueD. The vocalist, who
happens to be John Boles, goes to

rows in alcohol, is advised by the erst-

He picks q night club entertainer
whose boy friend is an ace swordsman.
There is the beginning Of . duel,
ended when Oakie arrives in womAn's
garb to appeal to the Hungarian's
mother complex"
Mr.. Oakie has his moments, but not
enough of them. Chief fault Of the
production Is the absence of enough
humorously crazy lines to carry hu-
morously crazy plot. Mr.. Boles offers
properly sustained performance and
sings one song. Ida Lupino proves
acceptable in the role of the nitery
performer, as does Margot Graham As
the mercenary one. Eric Rhodes is
cast excellently as the conceited lover
and fencing champion, coaxing smiles
whenever he is speaking. Mr.. Oakie,
however, has the task of carrying"
the picture. He does well enough, but
the scenario boys (or girls) force him
to stagger from time to time.

tor in breaking down the wall the
court has reared between the once
married pair. No woman could stand
1t, but then no man could stand
either against the awful machina-
tions of Miss Dunno as she goes
about her little turn OF breaking up
the husbands wistful romance with
the girl he is trying to substitute
for her.
WHILE Miss Delmar's script gives
w Mr.. Grant some beautiful cracks
to make at her sex, she turns the
climax of the tale over to Miss Dunno
in a fashion that must please both
sexes. In one of the widest auto
mobile-motor cycle rides the screen
has yet produced she lands him in
an adjoining bed room with no lock
on the door, just an hour before
the interlocutory decree Of divorce Is
destined to become final. The pas
sage Of that hour is spared from
tedium by some very nice acting by
the two principals and adroit direc-
ton of Leo McCarey. 1t is q FORE
gone conclusion, of course, that Mr.
Grant will succumb Ito the situation,
of course). 1t is . nicely handled
rout which no one. except possibly
the younger children, should miss.

much for Grant and Miss Dunno In
divorce. He's = big factor in both
their marital bliss and their unmar-

however, Asia is not quite as good

of wholesome stupidity. Alexander
