Faithful Ernest Truck, who always
gets his laughs, does so with the
rather nondescript comedy with which
he is blessed in "Frederika." The art

In creating "Frederika," the authors
have not worried greatly about getting
the whole complex picture of the
German genius in their book. They
have taken the story of his tragic
love for the parsons daughter, whom
he could not marry because of his
duty to the state. In that way, they
have given Denis King a good part
and kept the whole thing on a simple,
pleasant plane. Miss Gleason, of
course, plays Frederika to Kings

THESE THREE" IS BACK
AT THE LITTLE THEATER
Whitewashed Theme of "The Chill
dren's Hour" Loses Little Of
Force of Stage Version.


THE effect of malicious gossip makes
for powerful drama. whether the
gossip is related to the theme of "The
Childrens Hour" or to the, shall we
say, whitewashed theme of These
Three" the motion picture being re-
vived this week at the Little Theater.
Translated from the stages 1.-The
Children's Hour" to the screens
"These Three" the drama loses little,
if any, of its force. 1t still makes you
want to slap that brat in the teeth
and mend her ways. 1t still makes
you want to get up there alongside
those people whose lives are being
ruined by lies and fight for them.
1t isn't cleaning" or an expurgat-
drama has undergone in its transpoSi-
ton from one medium to another, but
merely change in the theme so the
story would be accepted and under
stood in the Hays Office and in what is
shown as "the sticks" Lillian He'll
man has done an excellent job OF
adapting her play to the screen. In
the drama her interest seemed to be
principally in the effect all of the
events had upon the girl who finally
was driven to suicide, but in the
screen version her interest has widened
to take in everybody concerned.
This skill of Miss Hellman in
changing the focal point of her atten-
ton thus assures that there is no
loss in dramatic effect in making the
changes that had to be made. "T'hese
Three" is an engrossing film and it has
its moments when it arouses the same
intensity of feeling as the play did.
Toward the end its mood changes to
that of the cinema instead of the
stage and it gains its ends by aiming
at the heart rather than the mind,
but it still is an eminent photoplay.
"These Three" has been mounted
handsomely and it is acted authenti-
cally by Merle Oberon, Miriam Hop
kins and Joel McCrea. as the three" of
the title, and by Bonita Granville and
Marcia Mae Jones, who are especially
excellent as the brat and the girl
she bends to her will. H. M.

to trace back to the days when the
same group grew breathless over the
lighting of the Christmas tree.
That is the kind of show Fred
erika" is. A beautifully dressed Pc
riod piece, which derives its major
livelineSs from the vividness of its
costuming. The velvet and taffeta
industries surely must be back on
their feet as a result of all that spend
ing by the MesSrs. Shubert.
OF course there is more to this
operetta by Franz Lehar than the
sheen of gorgeous fabrics, draped in
appalling yardage over the hoops
which women wore in the eighteenth
century. There is music, instru-
mental and vocal; there is rather
poigant love story; there is dancing,
and there is enough humor to induce
a happy little gurgling laughter
These latter, however, come under the
heading of addenda to the lavish de-
cor of the show. The eye will re-
member the color when the ear has
gone on to other songs and stories.
A S TO the quality of the music, it
is always pleasant as Lehar mu-
sic is expected to be. 1t is not an
other Merry Widow" however.
There is not song that one will sing
walking up the aisle, not because none
is worth remembering, but rather that
all are a bit too intricate. Rising
Star" why Did You Kiss My Lips
Awake" and Romantic Fool sound
as if they should be the mummy kind
of song, but somehow they fail to
make the grade.
The singing is entrusted to Denis
King, Helen Gleason and George Ira
bert. The three of them cover lot
of notes in the course of the evening,
and on only one or two did there
seem to be a Schism between Herr
Jehar and his interpreters. One
such was when King and Trabert
failed to get together in an other
wise sparkling duet number. "a small
thing, indeed, but that is what one

picnic for former Askov people who
now live in the Twin Cities. A care

there are approximately 100 in this
group.

the Cities and a cordial invitation
is extended to everyone to join in this
festival.

A bill to extend for one year the

on Farm Land Bank loans was passed

In addition to maintaining the 312

The prospect of passing the pro-
posed Federal Reorganization bill,
thought unlikely some weeks ago,
seem much brighter at this time.
This legislation would carry out most
of the Presidents recommendations
for reorganization of the executive
departments with a view to cutting
expenditures and increasing the gen.
eral efficiency Of all branches of the
federal government
While there is still a wide differ
|ence Of opinion regarding details of
the Minimum Wage bill it is gen.
orally believed at this time that the
proposed legislation has better than
even chance of becoming law dur
ing this session.
Agitation for passage of legisla-
ton that would require a referendum
before a declaration of war was slim
ulated sharply during the week when
threatening war clouds arose over the
Far East as result of the Amur river
dispute between Russia and Japan.
Congressman Louis Ludlow of In
diana, leader in the fight for such
a referendum, expressed the opin-
ion that no one incident in recent
times has brought so sharply to the
attention of the world the threat
of another world war. 1t is the
opinion of the Indiana member that
no time should be lost in providing
the legal machinery which would
make it possible for the citizens to
decide whether this country shall
again become embroiled in a conflict
in Europe and Asia. The petition
