CHAS. CHAN GETS HIS MAN
THIS TIME AT OLYMPICS

TOUNT among death, taxes, grav-
ity and other inexorable mani
festations of the workings of fate,
Mr.. Charlie Cham. Mr. Chan never
fails Probably the only mistake he
ever has made was to have NOUS
tache that does not cover the middle
of his upper lip and at the same time
have a dozen or more sons, when the
Chinese feel sure that no Chinese
whose moustache does not cover the
center of his upper lip can have any
children, let alone dozen sons.
This, possibly, is not so much Of a
mistake, however, as 1t is the excep-
ton which proves the rule that Charlie
is always right.
In his newest cinema adventure at
LoeW's Columbia Charlie Chan at the
Olympics," he runs true to form even
as the film runs true to Charlie Chan
picture formula. He runs also far
afleld, putting his native Honolulu be-
hind him to dash via various airplanes
and a dirigible to Berlin and there,
with the aid of an army of Berlin
policemen, put an end to the dastardly
plot. Dastardly. by the way, refers
not to the plot of the picture. but to
the plot of certain mysterious for
eign powers" bent upon obtaining .
device which looks like an electric
clock and flies airplanes.
But don't you ever fear. Holly
wood is not going to let any mys-
terious foreign powers snag onto an
electric clock that flies airplanes
Not while Hollywood has Charlie
Chan. The scoundrels are captured,
by heck, after an imposing array Of
villains passes across the screen, al
ways one jump ahead Of Chan, two
jumps ahead of the audience and
three jumps ahead Of the director.
It's safe bet that even the script
writer didn't know until he was fin-
ished just who the real culprit was.
It's exciting and fun for the Chan
fans. Charlie is Warner GLAND, Of
course, or Warner GLAND is Charlie.
BY this time it's hard to figure which.
There are other people, too, includ-
ing c. Henry Gordon, Keye Luke and
Katherine De Mile. H. M.

ringer Tor the EQlth Maxwell case
(and it isn't), it still deals with the
plight OF girl who killed her pappy
rather than let him kill her. In do
ing so, it seems, she violated the prim-
itive code Of submiSSiveness by which
mountain children are supposed to
live. The hill people cannot forgive
her for that and her battle for justice
thereafter is a sadly losing one.
Save for the scenery and a few
members of the cast, everything that
passes before the cameras filming
Mountain Justice" is unlovely. But
the producers Of the picture, who have
learned to photograph a spade as a
spade, obviously feel they have some
thing highly dramatic. What is
more. they really have. Mountain
Justice" deserves high place in that
series Of pictures which undertakes to
prove that mans inhumanity to man"
isn't just neat phrase turned by Pope
in the book Of familiar quotations.
THERE is hiss of authenticity in
every swish Of that blacksnake
whip which pappy and daughter alter
nately use on each other. And,
whether or not it is an accurate pic
ture, it is good drama when those
mountain men decide to lynch the
girl after the jury has let her off
with 25 years for the crime of self
defense.
Josephine Hutchinson never was
more appealing, in the compassionate
sense of the word, than as the girl
who sought to bring enlightment to
the hills. Her excellent performance
is matched by that Of Robert Barrat
as the religious fanatic father who
combed the Bible for verses that Jus
tilted villainous conduct on the part
OF parents toward their children. None

blacksnake) is spared. His life is
a succession Of murderous RACES, all
OF them directed at the daughter who
came back from the outside world with
some substantial ideas for a larger
life In the mountains.
Mountain Justice" is filled with the
kind OF parts that any ambitious actor
or actress likes to play. In spite of its
dreary theme it even has comedy, most
OF 1t provided by Guy Kibbee. Marcia
Mae Jones has some excellent mo-
ments as the little sister and George
Brent attains the Brent. par in the
role Of the outstanding city chap who
finally hgets the gal after the mob
doesn't'eet her.

The gantlet is down from that

1t would be much better for you to go
see for yourself than trust us to tell
you the details of the story.
THE owner of the ghostly voice
is young Jack Haley, who is
decided asset to Hollywood. No
matinee idol, he still is an extremely
personable young man with an excel
lent voice, nice taste for comedy
and a way of being convincing in
everything he does.
Haley carries the major vocal re-
sponsibilities of Wake Up and Live"
but he does not have to 20 it entirely
alone. Alice Faye is always on hand
to fill any ears yearning for the sound
of torch ballad as only Miss Faye

Gordon and Revel provided the
music for Wake Up and Live" and
if you've been around lately, hearing
Not In a Million Years" and its
companion pieces, you know very well
they have done honey of job.
1t would be unfair to ignore the
fact that while the night-club decora-
ton in this picture is somewhat on
the f1orid side, there has been no
attempt on the part OF its makers
to evolve sets larger and more elabo-
rate than audiences ever have seen
before.

remotest idea where Mr.. Shaw and
his boys might be. They had reported
from Baltimore, explaining that an
effort to reach here from Pennsyl-
vania by bus had been thwarted by
an endless series of detours around
flooded roads
About 80 seconds before the curtain
went up on their headline act, the
musicians were in the theater but
still scrambling about looking for
music (none to be found. jerking
instruments out Of cases, adjusting
ties, hoping the stage hands would
be able to get chairs set up for them,
trying to forget that they were in for
a tough session after sleepless night.
Well, they made it, and they deserve
long eulogies for the courage that
carried them through. The perform
ance was no masterpiece, as what
could be without orchestrations, re-
hearsal, light cues? 1t was, and don't
forget it, good old-fashioned jam"

idea who would be doing what solo
next, switched their spots about like
mariners looking for castaWays in the

by the what-t -the-heck spirit of the
thing, had a very fine time indeed.
The other items on the vaudeville
bill this week are the Neiss troupe, a
moderate acrobatic turn with a
smash climax; Helen Charleston,
whose mimicry Of Maj. Bowes' anna

Film at Met.
Thunder in the City"
Near American
in Mood.
BY HARRY MACARTHUR,

- OONER or later the British cin-
ema makers are going to rise up
and become serious competition
~ in the worldwide entertain
ment mart. They have attempted for
a long time, Of course, but only on
few rare occasions have English photo
plays risen out Of their class to
status where they have been WORTH
while in London, Pago-Pago, Sche-
nectady, Washington, D. c.; Butte.
Mont, or any place you can name.
Thunder in the City" the new
photoplay at the Metropolitan is the
case in point. 1t is film which has
managed to attain something of a
universal mood and is not one OF those
duly paced British importations which
cause wonder whether our English
cousins don't know the difference
between good and bad photoplays or If
they just don't give hoot.
Mr.. Edward G. Robinson, the central
figure in this film, is surrounded by
a number Of performers who are just
too teddibly British, but somehow his
presence has diffused the whole with
pace brighter than the usual English
tempo and the complexion of the pic
ture smacks definitely of Hollywood.
The humor is in the Hollywood mood,
too.
The makers of the film seem to have
been on the side Of the Britons when
they made the cinema story of the
adventures OF an American who assails
dignifled British sales resistance with
American ballyhoo methods, for they
let him sell his ideas successfully, then
have British banker show him up in
smart business deal. They become
pretty satirical, as matter Of fact,
with this portrait Of chap who sells
by press-agentry and brass bands, but
bthe Robinson performance keeps the
character always sympathetic
The supporting characters, too, are
people who can keep the pictures
mood international instead Of British.
There are Luli Deste, whose face is
both new and lovely and whose shade
of an accent seems to hint at Vienna;
Nigel. Bruce, Constance Collier and
Ralph Richardson, principally, and
they're all good.
Thunder in the City" has a couple
Of moments, too, which contribute
their share toward understanding
between the English and Americans
and the contrast in thoughts and
manners is pretty successfully pre-
sented. 1t has its faults (such as hor-
ribly swank British settings, to be
sure, but Thunder in the City"
should prove entertaining to the Met s
patrons.
