was to get a return match with
Louis, to whom he lost a close
10-round decision last winter.

"Thin Ice" Returns
To Play Columbia.
MISS SONIA HENIE probablv

MISS SONIA HENIE probably is
" very happy about it all. II she
paid any attention to the citizens who
shrugged her of as a lone picture
flash" when her first film was made,
the blond queen Of the ice has the last
laugh now. For her second starring
vehicle, Thin Ice" now at the Co.
lumbia for second week on F street,
finds Miss Henie better than she was
the first time. Her personality is
vibrant and salubrious and there is
a warmth about being familiar with
1t that makes up for the fact it is no
longer q new bright nugget you have
come upon in your cleaning through
the cinema's gravel.
Sonia has improved as an actress,
too. and gracefully carries the burden
placed upon her by her role as the
heroine Of light comedy romance
with music. Easily she walks of with
her share Of the honors in a cast
which includes such able film per-
formers as Tyrone Power, Raymond
Walburn and Arthur Preacher, and
skillfully she shoulders her share of
the burden Of the pleasant yarn about
q young prince who travelled incognito
and wooed and won lovely skating
instructres.
Thin Ice" is a completely enjoy
able light entertainment all the way
but it has its high lights that stand
out. Miss Henie's superbly graceful
skating, Joan Davis comedy song
turns and some of the comic sequences
contributed by Mr.. Walburn are things
you will remember. H M

and keep young Tommy straight with
the other. Joel McCrea is quite an
acceptable performer in the role Of
the former slum kid who became an
architect and starves with a fine
sense of moral values while trying
to keep a modicum of order among
the oncoming generation.
Humphrey Bogart plays Baby
Face" Martin, the greatest killer of
his time, to achieve one of his finest
effects since he was Duke Mantee
in THE Petrified Forest"
The six kids, who probably will be
referred to always that way, are
played by the six kids who gave such
splendid performances in the original
stage play. Other parts. of which
there are enough to stock small
sized city, are capably handled by
such persons as Wendy Barrie, Minor
Watson, Allen jenkins and Claire
Trevor. The latter, as the tainted
sweetheart of the killers lovely
dreams, gives an excellent perform
ance in one of the smaller but most
difficult characters in the drama.
THE action that takes place on the
odd stage of Dead End" moves
at pace which should satisfy the
most avid taste for thrills. In fol-
lowing a nearly literal translation
of the original Director William Wy
Ter has wasted not a moment in get
ting on with his story. The camera
gives to some Of his scenes greater
movement and force. one of them
the meeting between Baby Face"
and his school-days sweetheart, I'm
other the killing of Baby Face" by
the inexorable G-men. 1t misses the
excellence of the stage portrayal,
however, in the poignant, violent
meeting between the killer and his
mother.
The film can afford to miss even
at such an important moment, how
ever, for it has everything that goes
for superlative story telling.

Deanna's Musical
In Third Week

A FTER going into ecstatic Mysteries
over young Miss Deanna Durbin
IN her first film and watching it take
up mere week of R-K-O Keith's
time, it is extremely gratifying to see
the lass come along in her second
time out and turn in such a walloping
performance in grand vehicle, 100
Men and Girl" that it stays now for
a third week. II you have not vet
seen 100 Men and a Girl" you have
been cheating yourself out of one Of
the most entertaining of the years
nlms, IN fact one of the most enter
tanning musicals ever fabricated In the
Hollywood picture factories.
One Hundred Men and a Girl" has
none of the cliches which make this
months musical group of new faces
and new songs in last months musi-
cal and 1T has everything that makes
for enjoyment in the cinema. To be-
gin with, 1t has story that is warm
and human, a pleasant yarn about a
young girl who tries to find the proper
niche IN this world for a hundred
out-of-work symphony musicians, and
1t will warm the cookies of your heart.
In turn make you laugh and bring a
lump to your throat.
Musically the film is top-notch both
from the standpoint of selections in
cluded in the score and recording.
The screen has never sounded lovelier.
Leopold Stokowski is on hand, to play
himself with amazing ease and to
lead his Philadelphia Symphony in
some Of the most thrilling musical
moments ever to hit q sound track.
The music-including Mozart's "Alle-
luja," Liszt's Second Hungarian
Rhapsody" and selections from the
works of Wagner and Tschaikowsky-
Is an integral part of the story, too.
and not just something dragged in
by the heels. Mr.. Stokowski truly has
found the place for classical music on
the popular screen.
Yes, and Miss Durbin is some one
not only to write home about, but to
sing and dance in the streets about.
When she lifts her voice In song the
cinema Is giving you Of Its best. HIM.

intervals when the larger scop of the
camera seems to make it an even more
forceful snarl at the stupidity of the
nicer citizens.
In telling the story of fascinating
group of young hoodlums, and how
they grew in one of the ugliest neigh
borhoodS you ever saw, the screen
manages to preach powerful sermon
without ever failing in the function
of being entertaining. The locale of
the picture, like that of the play, is
one of the brightest dark thoughts any
playwright ever had. 1t is slum with
q sewer-flavored river that lies at the
feet, SO to speak, of those swank
apartment houses along the East River
In New York. The rich and poor are
neighbors, and what neighbors you
can best find out by getting down to
Loew's Palace right away
Central figures in the story. of
course, are the dirty, unkept kids in
the block gang. Out Of homes where
food is scarce, but vermin plentiful,
they gather in the shadows to learn
the arts of stealing, fighting, gam
bling and racketeering. They have
to battle life for everything they get
and the methods of fighting are those
which society nourishes to its enorm-
Gus regret. There's no obvious tend
erness for the kids on the part of the
playwright in Dead End" but he is
even more strong in his feeling of
condemnation of the circumstances
which victimize them.
TOMMY, Spit, NIFTY and others Of
the gang, boys more to be pitied
than censured, are like nothing else
you've ever seen on the screen, but
you will be glad to see them. There's
good as well as evil in them, and
laughter as well as tears in their story
as it unravels in the film.
Excellent casting, one of the Gold
wyn specialties, is all over the screen.

. courageous picture and
l. deceptive tone. It dares
to step outside the pretty
patterns Of Hollywood thought with
incredible vigor. At the same time, in
playing with tabooed ideas about
mans inhumanity to man, the new
f1lm at the Metropolitan Theater has
made the bold assumption that all
Americas evils are native to one
section.
BY implication the story fays lynch
ing, ambitious politicians who use
criminal trials 10 make their repu-
tations, the irresponsible sections Of
the press, which indulge in mob
batting, the meaner natures Of men
which make them lie and cheat and
dissemble to hurt one another. (Quite
large order Of flaying, what?) More
directly 1t attacks the sectional preju-
dices Of Southerners, suggesting that
they still relish nothing quite so much
as good old necktie party with q
Yankee as the guest of honor.
There has been some talk to the
effect that the Warner Bros. would
not dare exhibit this picture very
far south Of the Mason and Dixon
line. II they do follow that timorous
policy, they are losing the opportunity
to stir up more fuss than has been
seen around since Fort Sumter. No
Southerner who has lived in . small
town, or large one, can fail to
recognize here many, many authentic
revelations Of the lives and souls of
those who were his fellow townsmen.
Nor could he. by the same token, fail
to get a grim chuckle out of the
Northerner's idea that there are still
rebels lying in ambush for them.
At the core, They Won't Forget"
Is not SO much story about the South
as story about America. Like
Fury" it is unafraid in showing us
our country without benefit of glamour
and fancy makeup. If, perchance,
you think the sectional angle of the
Denhardt case in Kentucky
Some day, perhaps, you would like
to know about the plot? 1t is merely
a tale Of little Southern girl who
is murdered and an unhappy North
ern youth who is railroaded to death
by an ambitious prosecuting attorney.
With the possible exception of Claude
Rains, there is not box Office name
in the cast. And with the possible ex-
ception of Mr.. Rains, there is not
bad performance in the lot. The others
are Gloria Dickson. Otto Kruger, Ed
ward Norris and Allyn Joslyn.
If nothing else can persuade you
to see 1t, let me say that it provides
the best meat for argument we've
had since the Warburgs tried to ex-
plain the gold standard.

"War" Explained
At TranS.Lux.

A LTHouGH review Of the Trans
Lux newsreel array would appear
to be celluloid discussion of war and
its horrors for a number of weeks now,
the current bill presents more illum-
mating picture than usual. The
March of Time headlines the sub
sidiary array, presenting a back
ground offering possessed of the usual
March of Time conference, with China's
progress during the past decade de-
pict In concise fashion. The ex-
planatory tone of these reels persists,
and the bombing and shooting in the
Orient are explained most clearly
through the pictorial medium.
The regular edited news program
highlights foot ball, a subject about
which most of America is talking in
these days of chill and falling leaves,
but other sports activities have been
accorded recognition-college girls
learning the mysteries of jiu-jitsu,
JacQueLne cochran setting a new fly
Ing record, the international fishing
contest in Nova Scotia. There are
other items, of course, among them
Wall Streeters flying from home to
ONCE, the young Franklin Roosevelts
settling down after a European
honeymoon, The American Legion
participating in its annual session of
merriment in New York City, beauty
tips for the ladies from a HOLLYWOOD
expert.
In addition to the March of Time,
the short subject lineup offers a
pictorial treatment of Mexico's color
in costume. The seas numerous moods
are depicted in technicolor, and the
lighter touch is supplied by a color
cartoon, in which is demonstrated the
alleged aversion of wild animals for
harmony tn music. G. A. M.
