The rest are Sybil Jason, who, anybody
knows, is adorable; Frieda Inescourt,
a new ingenue named Ann Sheridan,
and Donald Crisp.
The Earle's stage show is graced by
pair Of novelties. if it isn't graced
by much else. Novelty number one is
Leila Moore, the young lady who makes
love to herself and takes both mascu-
line and feminine roles in her Dance
of the Lovers" Novelty number two
is Miss Cilly Feindt. who has a pair
Of horses which take turns fox-trot-
ting, one-stepping, two-stepping and
waltzing (no truckinD. They are such
clever horses.
The rest of the program Is con-
tributed by the Radio Ramblers, who
seem to be in great favor with local
audiences, for some reason or other,
and the Balabanow Revue, wherein
some people dance and sing and six
people play accordions. Six accordions
are at least five too many. H. M.

"DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND"
IS NEW "MET" PICTURE
It Has Richard Dix and Dolores
Del Rio, but Not a Great Deal
of Originality.

.
nEvIL'S PLAYGROUND" at the
Metropolitan this week is shown
for the first time under that name. In
the course Of its enduring career, it
has been called other names; some
times by producers, sometimes by
critics.
Whatever the picture lacks, which is
quite long list of important items, it
fairly teens with action. It races
through three planes of human ex-
istence, land, sea and air. The real
drama of the thing is that which takes
place under the surface Of an ocean
which is fairly glutted with subma-
rines.
Richard Dix is the "hero" (there's
nothing else to call him in a picture
like Devils Playground") and the
villainess is Dolores Del Rio. What
a sap she makes of MIR. Dix, hood
winking him into believing that she
is a good girl from the Imperial
Valley. She's bad girl who probably
does not even know how to spell I'M
perial Valley. OF course, it is possible
to be a good actress in bad girl part,
but Miss Del Rio is not in this particu-
lar one.
There is good photography in
Devils Playground and the picture
is always on the move It never seems
to get anywhere, however. except in
the critics hair. j. G.

MelOdrana
With Hun1Or
At the Earle
"Great O'Malley" Is
Good Opportunity
for Relaxing.

"HE Warner Bros. have a way of
making these so-called pro-
gram" pictures more than usu-
u ally entertaining. There's one
Of them at the Earle this week. It's
entitled 1.-THE Great O'Malley," and
it's a lot of hokum. It's such skillfully
blended hokum, however, that there's
absolutely nothing to do but relax and
enjoy yourself as it is unraveled.
1.-THE Great O'Malley" is the story
Of cop who believed in enforcing
every city ordinance from the first one
in the books, and who fairly thrived
on passing out summonses because
some poor tailor's awning was only S
feet inches from the sidewalk when
1t should be 6, or for other like
crimes. 1t was pretty clever idea on
the part of some one in the Warner
scenario department to think up this
hard-headed arm of the law-to-the-
letter, because the humanizing of him
makes for pleasant diversion.
There's melodrama to the tale and
there's plenty of humor. The melo-
drama, however, has been gracefully
kept within bounds and 1t never be-
comes so broad you snicker at 1t. And
the humor of THE Great O'Malley" is
pleasant and human humor that calls
for pleasant and human chuckles and
no rolling in the aisles.
Pat O'Brien is 1.-THE Great O'Mal-
ley" and he plays the role in the
manner that has come to be expected
OF Pat OBrien. It's an excellent and
workmanlike job, even if it isn't a
characterization created with deep
thought and understanding. There's
no place for deep thought and under
standing here. anyway. O'Malley is
Just a hard-headed Irishman who
lives by the rule book until a little
crippled girl shows him there's
place in the world for hearts.
Humphrey Bogart is on hand, too,
but it's only breather between better
things for him. Even so, he lends
plenty Of authenticity to the piece.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
FORMALLY OPENED HERE
Sultan Extends Official Greetings
in Exercises at Southeastern
University.

The Southeastern University School
OF Journalism, first of its kind in the
city, was formally opened last night
at exercises in the university, Eight
zenith and G streets.
In a brief address Engineer Com
missioner Dan I. Sultan extended the
official greetings of the District gov
ernment and said he welcomed the
establishment of such a course here
since Washington has become one of
the main news centers of the world.
Milton Anderson, former newspaper
man, who will conduct the course,
told the new students that newspaper
work is just as much a profession as
practicing law and medicine and has
the same code Of ethics. DR.. James A.
Bell. president Of the university, pre-

are acceptable entertainers, however,
capable of evoking shrek, groan or
an excited twitch from the more sus-
ceptible detective story readers. Fur
thermore, while only a few stalwarts
survive the ravages of manslaughter in
under Cover of Night" it must be
reported to its credit that the hero Of
the piece does not win the heroine, a
twist that was all right with me since
the hero was played by Edmund Lowe.
Instead the handsome heroine
(Florence Rice) devotes her home
work to one of the murder suspects
(Dean Jaeger, a young man who
proves that he never slew maid or
mentor at any time, although he con-
fesses that he did throw body or two
out of his apartment when he came
home and found them lying around
where other murderers had conked
them. This passion for tidiness is for
given by the police, but not before it
has provided Nat Pendleton an oppor-
tunity to give the works to the role of O
dumb cop, and Henry Daniel with the
chance to appear so ominous that had
he shouted boo" just once the Capitol
ushers would have been picking up
customers out of the sisles.

PRESUMABLY the main attraction
of the Capitol stage show this
week is Stepin Fetchit, the colored
film comedian. Perhaps he has
earned that status by this time, but
at the second show yesterday his rou-
tine was only intermittently compre-
hensible and not very funny when it
could be understood. The audience
seemed to be having more fun with
Wally Wards second-rate imitation Of
the old Al Trahan act, and certainly
was better pleased by Clyde McCoy's
swing band. The opener is a first
class circus act, with a man who
works impressively on the rings and
does some difficult stuff swinging by
his teeth: There is also a girl who is
o contortioniSt dancer.

Evening star., 1937-02-13

for the excellence Of "Lloyds of Lon
don." In the first place, it has a story
which seems to be out of the beaten
track. The tale Of lad who Is driven
by an insult to rise so high in the
world that the insulters will lick his
boots, and who achieves his ends, even
unto winning out in love, is one Of the
standard plots, Of course, but this has
something more. It has sincerity and
credibility, among several things.
IT LOYDS OF LONDON" has also a
cast Of performers well versed in
the ways Of making characters appear
in bold reliefs when imprinted in
shades Of gray and white on a strip Of
celluloid. Tyrone Power. jr., even
plays the central role with all the
enthusiasm and the smooth skill of a
seasoned cinema veteran, and he's
been seen in only couple Of pictures
before. He's good looking citizen, and
the combination of personality and
acting ability which he possesses
ought to carry him a goodly distance
in the film business.
Madeleine Carroll, Sir Guy Stand
ing, Freddie Bartholomew and C..
Aubrey Smith are some Of the other
people principally concerned with
these exciting goings on back in the
days when Britannia was concerned
with the problem of becoming the ruler
of the waves They are not r,aople Tn
turn in slouchy jobs, as you well know,
and they don't here. Neither do any
of the rest Of the players.
A MOTHER item which makes
= "Lloyds Of London" one of the
years outstanding photoplays Is the
broad background against which the
story of the rise Of Jonathan Blake
(Mr. Power), Is painted. It's this re-
counting Of turbulent sector Of the
history Of England which takes
'rLloyds" out of the ordinary class and
raises it nearer to the epic.
It's exciting and exceedingly inter-
estlng to watch Lloyds grow from its
coffee house beginnings, to see the
birth of the first news service, to look
on as man fights to aid Britain's sea
power by insuring her merchant
marine. Maybe it's all just brochure
for an insurance firm. but it is by far
the most worthwhile and entertaining
one over thought up by any insurance
firm.
