"Ijgly as q Mud Fence"

Some of the settlers Of the Middle
West tried to make fences Of sod.
Sod houses had been found prac-
teal. Fences were not, since they
had no roofs to protect them. They
soon became unsightly lines OF mud
and tangled roots. A person or thing
which is homely. is therefore lik-
cned tc a mud fence.

bride Wore Red"
Back at the Columbia.
THE BRIDE WORE RED" adapted

THE BRIDE WORE RED" adapted
from the works of Ferenc Molnar
for the special talents of Joan Craw-
ford, returned to the Columbia yes
terday for a week to supplement the
pair it recently played at the Palace.
In it Miss Crawford plays the part
of a hard-boiled water front girl in
whom the mountains (where she is
taken by an old roue) brings out a
wistful streak at least Q yards wide.
For all the Crawfordlike sound OF the
character, her portrayal of 1t hardly
is reminiscent of some of her more
substantial accomplishments in the
past. There are times when she seems
just to be moping through it, only
to take brace here and there when
the dialogue becomes bitter. 1t is an
uneven performance in an uneven bit
of playwriting.
M-G-M, as BELTS its attitude to-
ward one of its more glamorous stars,
has dressed up 1.-THE Bride Wore Red"
in fashion that makes it scenic worth
almost atone for its other weaknesses.
Whatever its Alps are made of, they
are mighty fine looking Alps and nice
for studying If, and when, your mind
wanders from the story.
There are some above-average short
subjects to assist Miss Crawford and
the Alps. j. C.

Mccarthy Bit Tops
Trans-Lux Bill.

TT WAS several years ago that the
Messrs. Warner decided to make a
few short subjects featuring a Mr..
Edgar Bergen and his dummy,
yclept Charlie Mccarthy. Mr.. Bergen
and wooden stooge were, at the time,
engaged in touring the vaudeville cir
cult. The shorts were peddled with
some success about the country, placed
in their tins after while, filed. Since
Charlie Mccarthy has become a top
flight radio personality (credit Rudy
vallee}, however, the Messrs. Warner
have busted off those tins and sent
out prints to eager exhibitors. All of
which is but prelude to the announce
ment that Mr.. Roland Robbins of the
Trans-Lux Is one of those eager ex-
hibitors and that his current program
is highhghted by Double Talk" an
entertaining comedy starring Mr.. Nc
Carthy and boss.
Other features are Crossing the
Sahara" travelogue dealing with
crossing the Sahara, and Woodland
Cafe" a color cartoon presenting the
folk of the forest as they step out
for an evenings fun. Swing music
as it should be swung is to be heard
in slunptuous measure during this one.
That periodic feature of the newsreels
is back this week-the sweepstakes
winners, telling how they feel or what
they are going to do with the wealth.
Other shots picture the latest crea-
tiors in the world of motor cars on
display in New York City, G-men
tracking down the elixer that caused
death where it was supposed to cure,
latest views of the business in the
Orient, Lew Lehr describing the Win

the very sight OF her vitalizing smile.
For them, Heidi no doubt has
much to offer, but those who seek more
than saccharine in the cinema will
never be able to find 1t under the
corralline blush of sweetness and light
surrounding Daryl zanuck's diminu-
tive Duse. Pictures about little girls,
even little girls named Shirley Temple,
who smile prettily and bring love and
tenderness to the hearts of gruff old
men are not exactly examples of Hol-
lywood at its most discerning. And
the plot movement Of Heidi is too
obvious and too stilted much of the
time for it to merit any great consid-
Grafton on its own as motion picture.
But Heidi" we admit, cannot be
considered an ordinary motion picture.
It's Shirley Temple entertainment,
which puts 1t in class apart. The
kiddies (who have made the play
Heidi" a Children's Theater stand
by) won't care If NANNY and pappy
know what Is going to happen next.

they will be right with her when she

THE Capitol's stage bill is headlined
by one of the most entertaining
advertisements to be found on the
country's vaudeville boards. the Salici
Puppets. If you've seen them before
you know you can see them again with
just as much relish, and If you haven't
seen them there's treat in store for
you. The favorites of other appear
ances are back again-the chap who
plays that piano solo, the fellow who
lights and smokes cigarette, and
the others-and there's a newcomer
apparently recruited from Fanchon
and Marco ranks) who's destined to
be Salici star, a young lady who
stands atop a large ball, walks it
across a teeter board. The Salici
Puppets are bright moment you

BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, Jr.

" 40 cdlQ bildJ tilC OOC E. olOWh
fans are never. never disappointed
in his pictures, no matter how
i they come along, willy nilly.
Always the sight of their idol opening
his mighty mush to let forth stu
pendous yell is sufficient unto the day
for them, and so be it. For the conso-
lation of persons enjoying that almost
fanatical peace of mind anent Mr..
Brown, it is pleasure to report that
in his latest picture called Fit for a
King" he performs his customary
routine, which is perhaps one of the
most enduring, slapstick vaudeville
acts ever known in show business.
The picture which opened at R-K-O
Keith's yesterday finds Mr. Brown dis
guised as a foreign correspondent,
mantle he wears with due fiippancy.
Unlike most expatriate scribblers, who
go around writing about the mutter-
ings of dictators and the beauties of
the continent, Mr. Brown devotes his
time to some highly slap-happy in
trigue, involving princess, q prime
minister, a plot, a revolution, and,
naturally, the correspondents daily
publication. For a while yesterday it
also involved us, as we came in late
and had quite time figuring out the
score, but that problem soon passed
vanished into cheerful preoccupa-
ton with watching Mr.. Brown trying
to ride bicycle between the rails of
q railroad track.
Others in the picture-Helen Mack,
as the princess, and Paul Kelly, who
hasn't been seen around recently half
as much as he deserves
Whatever your sentiments about
Col Brown as a comedian-and the
whole issue is partisan one, divided
into three camps, the pros, the cons
and the semi-pros-the auxiliary at
Keith's this week cries out for at
tention.
First, there is March of Time. and
second, Walt Disney color cartoon.
This again gets into the realm of de-
bate, for there are those who contend
that one should never say "and second"
Disney piece. Oh well, have it this
way or that, the March Of Time reel
is an especially clever one, and the
cartoon has in its cast of characters
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the
other immortal stars who think so
much of their art they wouldn't take
$1,000 week at any price. (This,
incidentally, may have some bearing
on Mr.. Thurber's famous case of the
two people who got a divorce because
they couldn't decide whether or not
Donald Duck was greater than Garbo)

week at Warner Bros Metropolitan
Theater, where long may it wave.
The Awful Truth" again brings
us Irene Dunno as a comedienne. no

she was in her first outing in that

suave comedy technique he used in

Frank Capra struck in Lost Horizon. %
McCarey Is not exactly a novice.
He has directed all manner of pic

of Red Gap" and THE Milky Way"
But he is definitely the sensation of
this production. He never loses his
grip on story, characters, situation,
or stops throwing under all of them
flrecrackers of shrewd direction. The
only place in which he has misjudged
his audiences was in some sequences
where he piled the laughs on SO
thick it Is impossible to hear all the

Other high points include the ap-
pearance of Ralph Bellsmy as good
hearted country boy In tough spot.

vitality that encourages the belief
she, too. will go on forever.
1t is careful casting, indeed, through
out the picture which helps it over
some OF the more standardized mo-
ments in its dizzy course. At the mid
way point, for instance, when another
freak character is needed to whip up
new froth of interest, who bobs up
but Hugh Herbert. He is q kind of
mildewed poet who provides shelter
for the rich young rebel F1ynn) and
the blond commander of the revolt
miss BlondelD. A secondary love
affair is handled by Dick Foran, who,
it is funny to say, plays Harvard
man to Beverly Roberts fascination
for Foran's kind of fellow. Mr.. Foran
has nearly always been a cowboy, a
copy or labor agitator before, and
it is kind of funny to see him in
part with Harvard engineering de-
gree attached to it.
You can and will do lot of laugh
ing at the antics through which
Michael Curtiz has put his players
in this tale of war between a grand
mother and blond for dominance
over the perfect specimen. Naturally
the blond wins, as blonds usually do,
but not without tremendous con-
sumption Of energy on every ones
part.
RLOCK and Sully, Mr.. and Mrs. in
spite Of those names, headline the
new stage bill. They have been doing
that to many bills in many places
for number of years, but they still
can lift laughter out of material that
is not the freshest you ever have heard
That takes an adroit method, which Is
what Block and Sully always seem to
have in their badinage.
Marjorie Gainsborough, billed as the
golden-voiced soprano, is back for a
return engagement at the Earle, and
every one seemed glad both to see and
to hear her.
For grace and beauty the stage show
offers Harris, Claire and Shannon,
who prove that one man can dance
divinely with two women at the same
time. 1t really is an effective num-
ber. made the more so by the presence
of a couple of vocalists who sing
pleasantly between the changes in cos
tune. The four Ortons complete the
bill.
