Capt. Flagg
Puts To Sea
In New Film
Sea Devils" Unim-
pressive. "March of
Time" Scores.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr.

BY hObEhI d. fHlLLlfS, Jr.
w YITH all due respect to our
M friends of the United States
w Coast Guard, whose valor
and usefulness has become
legend in modern time, I cannot say
that the new picture at R-K-O-Keith's
this week celebrates their virtues in
any unforgettable fashion. With the
notable exception of THE Informer,"
it has been the consistent habit of
the film people to cast Victor Nc
Laglen in a series of Sergt. Quirt and
Capt. Flagg feudS. This time Mr..
McLaglen's opposition is Preston Fos-
ter and Sea Devils" Is concerned
with the activity of the Coast Guard
in breaking up icebergs, shattering
hearts and making mighty rescues at
sea.
A valid tale Of one of the most
exciting branches Of our armed forces
could be a better melodrama than
the next one, but Sea Devils" is
rigged to type and neither its gags
nor its characters are especially re-
freshing. In fact, there seems to be
something of confession inherent in
the plot. for it does not present Mr..
McLaglen as mighty brawler bat
tling some other lug for the affections
of girl. This time he is the father
of the heroine Uda Lupino), even
as the situation was fathered by many
another similar story, and his warfare
against Mr.. Foster is inspired by the
sentiments Of an irate parent con-
templating an unsatisfactory suitor for
his daughters hand.
The young man of whom Poppa
McLaglen approves is Donald Woods,
and could have told you at the be-
ginning of the first reel yesterday that
Mr.. Woods was going to be martyred
somewhere in the mix-up. He wore
that Z-2. high-powered, holier-than-
thou expression from the beginning
of the cinema until he was tucked
away in his grave and suitable tears
were shed over his sad and heroic
demise.
Sea Devils has what might be
called surprise ending. and during the
telling each principal character gets
honestly wet at least once. If that
will be any consolation to you.
For the majority of the citizens who
drift into Keith's this week the main
attraction probably will be the March

The band is the big feature of this
troupe and it is natural that it should
be. 1t is the one, you may have read,
that challenged the Marine Band to
play radio duel with it. The Marines
might have won had they accepted. but
it would have been a lot closer than
such battle would look on paper.
Whatever they look like and act like,
the girls do not sound like amateurs.
Natural aptitude. plus the amount and
type of drilling they have had shows
emphatically in their playing.
If they put on good show today,
and during the next week, the reason
for it probably will have been revealed

short of such striking merit that many
a reviewer preferred it to the major

with joy over the implications of the

Maxwell Anderson is just about twice

but in such comparison. OF course, it
must be remembered that Anderson

the like. They perform like profess
sionals but they haven't quite caught
the knack of acting like them.
They rehearsed yesterday afternoon
in a soundproof studio high up some
where in the interior of the Capitol
Theater. For all the skill with which
they went through their numbers, en-
semble and solo, they were more like a
high school or college group putting on
a show than they were like anything
you would see releasing in theater.
1t was not just matter of age, nor
dress, nor of the appearance OF a
shiny nose in this corner of the room
or that. 1t was more than that;
perhaps the newness of the whole
experience to members of the troupe.
They worked with an enthusiasm that
professional would envy because he
could not emulate it. Disillusionment
has not caught up with them. They
sail into a number with vitality that
Is positively dismaying.
When the director, a Mr.. Marx who

Marx. They like to learn and. ap-
parently, he likes to teach. Every
thing is pleasant. Correction IS
offered and accepted as it might be
in a college dramatic group. There
is not even an ounce of jealousy TO
give the thing a professional color.
Every one seems a bit bewildered at
being there. but very happy about it.
A trick and pleasant arrangement of
pennies From Heaven" was the chief
stumbling block at yesterday after
Moons rehearsal. Job might have
looked down with envy upon the
patience of the repetition of the piece.
AS if trying to play this popular num-
ber better than it ever has been played
before, the band and Marx went over
and over it. Let complicated bit of
phrasing offer difficulty to section
of the band ana everything else
stopped while that section learned
precisely how it should be done.
