BISH0PSCHV0Y
OF HUNGARY
VISITS D. {.

The Most Rev. Louis Schvoy,
Bishop of Alba Reale, Hungary,
was a washington visitor yestar-
day, stopping at the Hungarian
Legation on his nationwide trip
as the official representative of
the Hungarian hierarchy, in which
capacity he is inviting all Catholics
to the thirty-fourth International
Eucharistic Congress in Budapest
from May % to 81.
The Bishop has had an eX-
tremely active stay in this coun-
try, interviewing all Catholics
whom he believes interested IN
the forthcoming congress.
He already has seen Cardinal
O'Connell of Boston and Cardinal
Dougherty " Philadelphia, and
has arranged interviews with
Cardinal Hayes of New York and
Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago.
His Second Visit to U. S.
Bishop Schvoy is the represent
alive of Cardinal Seredy, composer
of the new canon by which the
church is governed. This is his
second visit to the United States.
In 1922, he was a papal chamber
lain performing missionary work
among Hungarian parishes.
The prelate estimated that be-
tween thirty and forty thousand
Americans would attend the con.
gress, with the usual thousands of
pilgrims augmented by many more
drawn by the festival, celebrating
the nine hundredth anniversary Of
the death of st. Stephens, first
Hungarian king.
Little Hope for Fascism
Questioned about Fascism and
NaziiSm in Hungary, the Bishop
said he did not believe they could
overcome the present regency Sys-
tenn of government. He added:
"While the State is always
helpful to the Church, we enjoy
q complete freedom of religion,
as do you in America"
Accompanying the Bishop were
the Right Rev. Elmer G. Eordough,
of Toledo, Ohio, and the Right
Rev. Paul Santha, of Saskatch-
evan, Canada, appointed by
Bishop Schrembs of Cleveland as
organizers of the Hungarian pill
grimage.

A Columbia Picture
Rating: TIP Top

Grace Moore's singing Of Min.
ME, the Moocher" Is only one Of
series Of pleasant surprises
which combine to make this pic
ture one of the most entertaining
seen here this season.
Written and directed by Robert
Riskin, whose "It Happened One
Night" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to
Town" will be remembered, this
gives every indication Of matching
those two in commercial poSsibiI-
tiles. An appealing, human.inter-
est romance, balanced by light
comedy, plus entertaining musical
sequences, provide varied material
which should hold the interest OF
any audience. '..%,..
In Mexico, Miss Moore, as a
charming Australian, undertakes
q marriage Of convenience with
Cary Grant, a vagabond, in order
to get into the United States.
Learning to love him, she fears she
will lose him when she needs him
most. He comes back to her as
she makes her appearance In

for an artistic and romantic tri.

The sequences leading to the
conclusion are clever in action and
dialogue, with Grant holding to
the. high pace set by Miss Moore,
who demonstrates unquestioned
dramatic and comedy ability. The
support of Aline MacMalon,
Stephenson, Thomas Mitchell,
Catherine Doucet, Luis Alberni,
Gerald Oliver Smith, Emma Dunn
and George Pierce is superior.
Miss Moore's singing Of Minnie
the Moocher" and ''1n the Gloar11.

has definitely discovered" Fran
cine Larrimore, high-rating stage

B. P. does more than just "tind"
stars. He puts them in intreduc-
tory stories that usually send them
before the public in proper fash
ion to bring back much applause
and acclaim. He did 1t with Clara
Bow, Sylvia Sidney, Edward Ar
mold, Newcomer John Trent and
countless others. Now, he has pre-
sented Miss Larrimore In an Cn-
usual but timely vehicle.
Although unlike her in appear
ance, Miss Larrimore does remind
one Of the late great Jeanne Eagels
in voice-a husky, emotional note
to stress tenSeneSs-and in ability
for switnesS in changing dramatic
tempo. She possesses a style that

Director Richard Wallace has
accomplished a neat megaphone
job. He told his robust story in q
robust manner, not forgetting sly
jabS in a comic vein. The result
is a production that is away from
the usual directorial ruts and is.
at all times, most interesting and
entertaining.
George Bancroft does a grand
piece Of work as Edward Arnold's
pal. If George continues with this
type Of acting, it won't be long
before his name is again IN the
stellar brackets. Arnold, of course,
is one Of my favoriteS. He has
yet to miss in q role, no matter
how difficult. And he does a
grand job in this.
Gail Patrick. John Trent, Aileen
