stars maid when the financier
met her. He wooed Josie with
costly gifts, finally put up the
money to star her in "Tempta-
tons"
Nothing was too good for
Josie, indeed she is credited
with being the inspiration for
his Inflated movement on the
golden hordes of America. He
never won Josie, for she fell
heavily for his partner (Cary
Grant, and on his death bed
Colonel Fisk was to discover he
was an amateur in the love
game, while he was making
money.
Ed Arnold, smooth faced,
brings his hearty laugh and
his flair for bravado characters
to this role, and does, I think,
the best acting he has yet given
to the screen.
FRANCES IS COLD
I can't say so much for
Frances Farmer who flashed
into prominence for bang.up
work in Come and Get 1t" with
the same Mr.. Arnold. 1t is a cold,
patrician Josie that she brings
to life, little too dignified for
comfort and not such a cut-up
as imagine Josie Mansfield
was. To put it in a nutshell I was
hoping that Frances Farmer
would "get hot" Economically.
But she never did.
Usually I sit in the movie
bleachers and lead the cheering
for Jack Oakie. About this one,
we'll, the corner grocery critics
will have to decide whether he
was mlscast or was the life OF
Col. Fisk's party. He is presumed
to be a smart partner OF Col.
Fisk but, as ever, he is always
clowning, at his best when he
gets Fisk guards all tangled up
in military maneuvers.
Comic Jack gave me an I'm
comfortable feeling when they
asked him to be tragic. When
Col. Jim Fisk was dying nobly
l expected Oakie to pop up with
a wisecrack like: Boy, is he
doing a grand job Of dying,
ha, hap"
ROWDY AND COLORFUL
Donald Meek gives a good
impression as the meek Daniel
Drew, Clarence Kolb was good
as Colonel Vanderbilt, and Cary
Grant was pleasantly competent
as the other Fisk partner. Row.
land V. Lees direction is lively.
I recommend Toast of New
York" as a colorful, rowdy, bluff
and humorous reconstruction Of
an interesting period in Amer
ica's financial life. 1 doubt if
1t could ever get by the history
professors as an authentic scroll,
but it is downright good, if long
winded entertainment.

San Quentin
For Earle

With Pat OBrien starred and
such excellent players as Hum
phrey Bogart, Barton MacLane,
Joseph Sawyer and Ann Sheridan
in supporting roles, the First Ma
tional melodrama San quentin
has been scheduled as the next
feature attraction at the Earle
Theater Friday.
While the story is laid in and
about the famous penitentiary
that juts into San Francisco Bay,
it is not, the producers give as
surance, one Of those sorrowful
movies about condemned men
and last hours and that sort Of
thing.
There is no execution, there is
nothing Sobby about the picture.
1t is enlivened by many scenes
"outside"-even by a San Fran
cisco night club, where Miss
Sheridan is a singer who falls in
love with O'Brien, who is an ex'
army officer just appointed to be
captain of the yard at San Quen
tin.
1t Is simply a swiftly-movins
melodrama dealing with the pris
oners, the lives they lead-Some
good, some evil, even behind walls
and the officers who guarc
them.
Many of the scenes, it is said
were made at San Quentin itself
Others, done at the Warner
studios, take place in settings
copied exactly from the origina
locale.
The prison yard" wherein mucf
Of the action takes place, was re
constructed on an open space
near the studio which cover
$4,000 square feet Of territory.
Besides those named, the cas-
includes such players as Veda AM
Borg, Joseph King, James Rob
bins, Gordon Oliver, Garry Owen
Mare Lawrence and Max Wagner

is the last phase in the decay Of
a family of poor whiteS"-phyS-
ical and mental degenerates-
on a derelict plantation in Geor-
gia. Practically all the charac-
tiers are feebleminded, most are
imbeciles, three are entirely In
articulate. Some howl, some
whine, some whimper, and some
Snarl. They are all starving, all
hopeless, all mOribund; nothing
lives in any of them except the
baffled lust of the nymphOma-
MAC daughter and the old peas
ants crazy passion for land.
PRESUMABLY Mr.. Kirkland
must be believed if he says that
there are places where life is
lived on this animal plane. But
as q matter of dramatic criti.
cism there is nothing to be said
about it except that the subject
of drama is life, and not death.
1t Saddens q gloomy evening
to see such brilliant acting ex-
pended on the duStbin appeal
of this squalid story. Mr.. Hedley
Briggs as the brOken.dOWn father
Of the family, Simian, cunning,
hypOcritical, yet with surviving
glimmerS of what must once
have been sanity, achieves a re-
markable tour de force, and
Miss ROSalind AtkinsOn's rem
dering of the grey apathy of the
mother is in the same class.
"The other characters, even
those below the level of human
speech, are all played with dis
tinctiOn. But how much better
all this skill would have been
employed in giving a good rOus-
ing performance of 'CharIey'S
Aunt'!"
I agree with all Of it, except
that last snapper about "Char-
ley's Aunt" Too much "Charley's
Aunt" is what the English
movies are suffering from.

Ghost Train at
Cross Roads

The ghost walked. but it wasn't
pay day. 1t was a train that ex-
cited the audience. So, put the two
together and you have THE Ghost
Train" which was unfolded be-
| fore the eyes of a very appreciative
gathering Of drama lovers, at the
Cross Roads Theater, in nearby
Virginia, last night.
1.-THE Ghost Train" written by
Arnold Ridley, involves group of
people who, having been forced to
stop at a backwoods railroad sta
ton, near the Canadian border,
for the night, find themselves in
the midst of a country filled with
legends of Ghost Train" The
group make a vain effort to laugh
it off only to be thwarted by the
sudden appearance Of the mystic
Iron Hoss." The men set about
to clear up the unexplained facts,
and startling surprises come thick
and fast. All of which clears up
the matter, leaving the much
dazed party to go their way with
memories Of a nightmare still be-
fore their eyes.
Laurels for performance go to
Charles Hohein, who does a Splen-
did obstinate silly aWSs" of an
Englishman; to Bernice Bartl, who
carries Joe, her bird, on her haz-
ardous trip (she changes "hiS''
name to CLARA" after "she" lays
an egg and who portrays a fine,
drunken priSsy old maid, if you
can imagine one in that state; to
Marcella Bertram, who lends her
talented self in the portrayal Of a
very dramatic young lady who
holds all the cards to the mystery
She does a fine job, and we hope
to see more of her. In case some
