Irene Bordoni
Sings Again.

JUST for fun, which it certainly was,
tho drama department went down
in . comparative body last night to
hear Irene Bordoni In her opening
performance at the Cocoanut Grove.
Miss Bordoni, who must be several
days older In spite of her appear
ance, still can give \ song, or q tale
set to music, the inimitable touch
which once upon . recent time made
her name Justly famous.
Two modern songs, piece of recita-
tive about the plight Of q man and
maid on board ship, and Gas a re-
quest) do It Again." comprised her
opening program. There was about
all four Of them piquancy and spice
which Is peculiarly associated with
tho dark-eyed lady who not so long
ago starred in musicals at the Ma
tional Theater here.
Apart from her program, and while
awaiting the arrival of her accom-
panist whose plane got only as far as
Baltimore, Miss Bordoni admitted to
the press that it was pleasant to be
back again In Washington. As to
what she has been doing recently, it
has been entirely matter of reading,
and rejecting, plays. She still can
sing, but cannot talk, without that
accent, circumstance which she
finds distressing but which strikes the
interviewer as altogether charming.
And always has. J.C.

manage to have q lot Of fun to-
gether. They like the gay spots, mu-
sic, their children and each other.
The 11-year-old marriage Of Fred
ric March and Florence Eldridge Is 4
quiet, non-exciting affair that spells
permanency. They are both social
minded, and their Beverly Hills home
is the rendezvous Of visiting pink
tinged Europeans.

Dee-Joel McCrea are two home-loving
couples with seven years Of marriage
each behind them and 70 more in
front OF them-unless I'm greatly mis-
taken.
Irene Dunno Is content as Mrs.
Francis Grimm. Margaret Sullivan
has settled down nicely with third
husband Leland Hayward. Fred Mac
Murray has acted IS nurse for the
sick Lillian Lamont during one year
Of marriage. But seems to enjoy It.
DR.. Joel Pressman Is still in love with
wife Claudette Colbert. Claudette still
believes he's the only man in the
world for her. And there are many
other similar cases.

pletely and madly in love with her.
1t might turn out to be almost any,
thing, but with Lubitsch at the con-
trols, 1t becomes something of an
intelligent piece, drama that sets
out to prove woman can love two
men ct the same time.
II the tale has o. tendency to be a.
bit ssiIted and to bog down under is
own age now and then, Lubitscn Sill
can be forgiven for he has attempted
(and In large way succeeded) to
produce q film Of some distinction.
He may have gone q bit highbrow
some of the time, but his under
statement Is far better than the
melcdramaticS to which he might
have slipped, and he has given his
triangle story real LIE touch which
should be approved by discerning
f1lm fans. And, discerning or not,
all the women In the audience, we
suppose, can have q good time join
ing Marlene Dietrich in the anguish
Of heart divided against itself.
THE three principal players in the
= film, Miss Dietrich, Herbert Mar
shall and Melvyn Douglas, In addition
to the director, account for q large
part Of the success angle" attains as
a screen drama. They all take
things pretty calmly but they do
appear to be honest and sincere as
they delve into the familiar triangle
yarn, solving it naturally and not
bit spectacularly, Miss Dietrich
going to Vienna with her husband
(Mr. MarshalD, with poor Mr..
Douglas, for all we know, still stand
ing in that Paris salon Of miscellane-
GUS entertainment.
It isn't the best role Miss Dietrich
has had, but she does it with COM
mendable seductivity and it does give
her an opportunity to wear lashes so
long it must have tired her out to
keep her eyes open all day. The
characterizations Of the husband who
realizes the possibility that woman
can have two loves, by Marshall, and
the other man, by Douglas, add to
the believability Of the picture by stay
ing in that same mood of understate-
ment keynoted by the Lubitsch di-
rection.
It's all bit more heavy on the
drama side than pictures usually as
sociated with the Lubitsch name, but
there is a sophisticated tone to angel"
that gives it some life. There are
moments by Ernest Cossart, Edward
Everett Horton and Herbert Mundin,
Evening star., 1937-11-06

too, which tighten things nicely at
the proper moments.
THE Earle's stage show Is an eyeful
Of pulchritude and an earful OF
sweet music, what with Phil Spitalny
having brought his handsome and
talented all-girl 'Eour OF Charm"
orchestra to town again. The girls
are accomplished musicians ard their
arrangements have color and vcrve
and originality. Popular ballads Of
the day sound bit better under the
Hour Of Charm" touch and the girls
version of M. RavePs famed "Bolero"
Is something that shouldn't be missed.
The glee club even makes an ex-
tremcly bright moment Of "Johnny
"One-Note," a tune inat can be q bit
boring.
There are scads of speciaities, too
songs by Maxine, sweet and smooth
violin selections by Evelyn, novelty
songs by the Three Little Words,
clever tap dances by Dale Winthrop
and they all are good.

That Is, 1t has the makinss Of vitalized

words, the farmers owning oil land
are determined to lay . pipeline in
the face Of opposition on the part of
proprietors Of the iron horsie method

Motion Pictures Go
Back to the "Mobs."

MOTION pictures are going back to
the "mobs." Recent major Aims
show that big production scenes again
are using hundreds OF extras, as in
the silent days when every other pic
ture had its mob shots. The total
number OF extras used in the David
0. Selznick technicolor production,
Nothing Sacred" figured above $3.50
actor-days. In THE Prisoner OF
zenda" the actor-day total was $500.
In the huge Cafe Moderne set in
Nothing Sacred" several hundred
dress extras were grouped around the
modernistic tables. They received
instructions by means Of loud-speakers
strategically placed in the cross-beams
above the stages.

"PleaSe Don't"

SAN FRANCISCO policemen are the
most polite in the world, In the
opinion of Ray Milland, who today
cited this experience to prove it:
Before starting work in Paramount's
technicolor sea saga, "Ebb Tide" the
actor motored to San Francisco for a
week end and parked his car on one of
the Bay City's steep streets. The We
hicle slipped its brakes, climbed the
curbing and came to rest against the
building, blocking the sidewalk.
Under the windshield wiper Milland
found what appeared to be a traffic
ticket. But it was merely a polite note
signed by the officer on the beat. It
read:
please do not park on the sidewalk
when in San Francisco"

wife who eventually makes him see
the error Of his philosophy. Benchley's
good natured drunk, however, will be
found to be the most refreshing
character in the drama.
Among the other acceptable char
acter portraits in the fairly lavish pic
lure is the one played by Monty
Woolley. MI. (sic) Woolley, who
formerly was head OF the Yale drama
department. and still wears his beard
as badge Of undeniable distinction,
is cast as the head OF an art gallery.
His assignment is tribute to Holly
woods recognition of the Importance
OF the actor who injects scholarship
into his work.
& picture such as "Live, Love and
Learn" simply must have another
woman; the other woman. 1t has.
She Is played. more ornamentally than
anything else, by Helen Vinson who
again demonstrates her right to recog-
milton as one of the best-dressed wom-
en- of the screen.
Authors Of the script have borrowed
freely from previous comedies, bus
ride from "It Happened One Night"
and scores of other situations which
will have a familiar appearance. But
it is better picture than such a
free adaptation would indicate, a cir
cumstance which We still insist is due
to its Interpretation.

realizing the whole thing might be
silly in less talented hands.
It is more than suspicion in this
quarter that Benchley, the old shorts
man and critic, steals the picture
from the two stars to whom he is
supposed to be merely satellite. With
more than an amateurs sense OF how

TO be hsmpered by the fact that its
plot is not new. It's freshness comes
from its Interpretation, not from the
basic theme. II one would only stop
to think, he always would know
what was going to happen next, but
the pace Of the picture is such that
one has little time for thinking. And
the spirit of informality with which
1t is embued by its three major per-
formers (not to mention Fitzmaurice
again) gives the impression anything
might happen at any moment.
The living, loving and learning are
done by Miss Russell and Montgomery.
When they meet, as previously de-
scribed, he is an honest, young artist,
q man Of principle with a beautiful
scorn for money, fame and all the
other things which artists are sup
posed to hold in contempt. Miss
Russell is an heiress, but one who
is fed up with money and the things
1t will buy. Eventually, as you knew
all the time, their positions are COM
pletely reversed. He. loves money;
she hates it. He wants fame; she does
not He glories in being q society
pet; she would prefer him to be hers.
When the hour of parting comes,
Benchley, who cares only for food and
drink, especially the latter, sides with
the wife. The rest Of it should be
pretty clear.
Montgomery fans, who are going to
keep him in such sophisticated comedy
parts in spite of himself, are in honor
bound to like him as the young artist
whose head is turned by society's ac-
ceptance. Moreover, they will find

The Jean Arthur Frank j. Ross ro-
