New York, June 17.-Randomus-
ing: New York is the cardboard city.
$50 many people walk about with
sandwich board signs, advertising this
and that, including opinions on con-
troversial questions and plants a
gainst those indiscreet enough to have
hired them, that some thoroughfares
resemble waving forests of pickereer-
ing slogans. L wonder whether any
one, anywhere in the world at any
time, had an opinion changed by see
ing something on a piece of card
board worn on a gentlemans back or
waved aloft? Also, the stilt-walk-
ers and even the man with the light
ed tuxedo front, have emerged anew
into the local advertising ranks.

the liners chief officer and orders
him to attempt a new record ocean
crossing, though the ship is travel

The intriguing title of the Wan

than call attention to this I'M

torical in the plot.
The story in brief is that Of a
romance born amid strange cir

night in Paris. A multi-millionaire
American shipowner attempts to
prevent his wife from obtaining
divorce by compromising her with
his chauffeur. The plot very

handsome stranger. With neat

The present version differs lit
tie from previous ones, which Is
to say that it is a beguiling and
throbbing story. And you are
something less than human if the
struggle portrayed doesn't bring
the mist to your eyes.
Sentimental? OF course it is.
Just as most of the things in life
we hold dearest are sentimental
when viewed through alien eyes.
The characters and the locale
A Powerful Story
The characters and the locale
of Seventh Heaven" are colorful.
The scene is laid in a dingy quar-
ter of Paris during the stirring
days of 1914 and the awful war
years that followed. It is story
of conflict and sordidness, but it
is also a story of a love that never
wavered and Of a man who found
his God.
The beautiful strains Of Diane
are used as musical background
for the high spots of the play and
if this should serve to bring that
song back into general popularity
I will be glad, for it is beautiful
song.
Simone Simon, as Diane, does a
superb piece of work in the lead
ing role. Thoroughly convincing
as the frightened waif Of the Paris
streets, she plays with a more ma
tured depth of feeling than in her
previous appearances. In this film
she emerges as thoroughly ade-
quate to the demands Of her role.
James Stewart, as Chico, the
very remarkable fellow" is splen-
did. Excellent work in the sub
sidiary roles is contributed by
Jean Hersholt, Gregory Ratoff, J..
Edward Bromberg and John
Qualin.
Puppets Take HOnOrs
Yielding to numerous requests
the Capitol brings back to the
stage this week Salici's Puppets.
This act, the most remarkable
marionette performance ever seen
here, consists of 10 acts on a mini
allure stage where the puppets
stage a vaudeville show that is
miraculously life like. A lifted cur
tain during one Of the scenes
shows the operators controlling
the puppet actors.
Medley and Dupree appear in an
act of madcap merriment. Moth
ing that these comedians do makes
any sense, but it's all funny.
Frey and Braggiotti, known to
thousands Of radio listeners, give
a charming concert of piano duets.
Their rendition of Rachmaninoff' S
Prelude in C Sharp Minor deserves
the highest praise.
Kay, Katya and Kay present a
cleverly conceived dance routine.
Their work will appeal especially
to those interested in stage dane
ing professionally. for they present
some very pleasing original concep-
tions.

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
Actor MacMurray as the care
free musician who was always
ready for a new face or a craps
game but really loved Maggie
King. his cabaret partner, makes
the trumpeter likable, if selfish,
irresponsible.
It struck one who invariably
finds Carole Lombard an agree
able actress to watch that she
never took Maggie King very seri-
ously and expended little emotion
in making memorable the scene
which was the real thriller of the
play.
I refer to that highly charged
moment of rum and hysteria as
Maggie's real sweetheart goes
noisily beserk when he finds she
is about to marry his rival. Hal
Skelley did it in a dance of frenzy
