Dunno, Cooper
At RiQIto

The program which opened yes
terday at the Rialto Theater is
composed, for its main part, of
two films, widely divergent IN
their dramatic fare, but both ex-
cellent as high entertainment.
Theodore Goes Wild" a film
that presents the glorious Irene
Dunno as a comedienne, is one
of the cleverest pieces of celluloid
that has ever come out of Holly
wood.
Ably assisting the star is Mel
vyn Douglas, who contributes a
highly entertaining characterize
ton as a sort of philosopher and
male busybody.
THE Virginian," based on Owen
Wister's epic of the days when
America was young and hand
some heroes carried guns on both
hips, offers Gary Cooper at his
best in the type of outdoor role
that made him famous.
Walter Huston, now the typical
American business man in most
of his roles, tests Gary's heroism
as Trampus, the villain of the
story. Mary Brian and Richard
Arlen complicate the romantic
episodes.
~ The bill is completed by short
reels and news.

Do You Prefer
Flynn With
Mustoche?

"Please, Mr.. Flynn. send me
a photograph of yourself, but
without a mustache. 1 like you,
but not your mustache."
Dear Mr.. Flynn-I have al
ways thought you very hand
some, but since / saw you in
Green Light 1 think you are
without a doubt the handSOmest
man on the screen. That mus
tache is just what you needed
to accent your extraordinary
good looks"
With these two paragraphs typi-
cal of his fan mail, what is a
screen star to do? 1t is part Of
his Job to please the public. And.
obviously, this is an issue that
cannot be straddled-you either
wear a mustache or you don't.
What Is Your Opinion?
With letters favoring or oppos-
ing the Flynn mustache coming
in daily, the Warner Brothers
studio is anxious to get as many
reactions as possible, so decision
can be made before Flynn makes
his next picture.
WashingtonianS have been asked
to express their opinions, and
guest tickets to see Another
Dawn" (Which opens this Friday
at the Earle) will be sent to those
who write the best letters, while
all letters will be forwarded to
Flynn at the Warner Studio, along
with the figures on the total Wash
ington vote.
What You Have To Do
Here is all you are asked to do:
Write a brief letter to Enrol Flynn,
and mail it to him in care of the
Earle Theater, Washington, before
midnight Saturday. Mention the
name of the newspaper in which
you read this story, and then tell
exactly how you feel about this
mustache matter.
A pair of guest tickets to see
Another Dawn" lin which Flynn
wears a mustache) will be sent to
the writer's of the five best letters
from readers of each of the five
Washington papers-or a total of

THE Last Train from Madrid, y
previewed Tuesday by quorum
of the city's reviewers, is a sharply
etched Story-or Stories-having
as a common basis the desire to
leave beleagured Madrid on the
last train. 1t is dramatic and
tragic by turns and possesses. in
at least two of its sequences, a
poignant touch that will tear at
your heart strings.
1t is only technically a war
story. The war indeed furnishes
the background and motivates the
tension under which the charac-
tiers in this film live and move.
But as a personal document OF
human souls torn by fear and
grief the story makes fair bid
for greatness.
Try Too Much
If it misses that category, it is
probably because the directors at
tempted to embrace too much
within the narrow limits of one
film. The episode concerning the
romance of Lew Ayres, playing the
role of an American newspaper
man, with the little Spanish girl,
for instance, is a charming and
tender love story, but contributes
nothing to the main theme Of the
play.
The bond Of loyalty existing
between Captain Alvarez and
Eduardo de Soto, played by Gill
bert Roland and Anthony Quinn,
respectively, could have been con-
centrated upon to the making of
better film.
Film To Be Popular
But, be these captious remarks
as they may, predict that THE
Last Train From Madrid" will be
a tremendous success with the
movie fans for it contains those
elements that appeal to all human
hearts.
The acting of this story is
superb. The performances of the
MeSsrs. Roland and Quinn are
peerless. Both give honest and
sympathetic portrayals. Olympic
Bradna, who has a touch of naivete
that will endear her to audiences,
does excellently as the little Span
iSh girl.

newspaperman, aviator and in.

The star crashes through with

Comedian Brown is worked very
hard, however, being almost con,
stantly before the camera.
Romantic Thread
Besides comedy, there is a heavy
romantic thread running through
this story, the heart interest being
supplied by Florence Rice. There
is excitement too. furnished by a
fight in midair when our hero
tangles with an airplane carrying
contraband.
Guy Kibbee, as the con man who
sold the town on some fake In
veStmentS, for which our hero is
blamed contributes an entertain.
ing sequence or two to the film.
Old Formula
The story follows the we'll
worked formula: Troubles begin TO
multiply on our poor hero'S head
almost from the beginning Of the
story. AS the complications grow
and the story moves forward. these
troubles increase. Ten minutes be-
fore the climax you begin to think
he might as well go jump in the
river and have it all over with.
But then. by one of those sudden
miracles with which Hollywood is
so inexhaustibly supplied. our hero
is suddenly indicated and every.
thing suddenly is all right.
But anyway it's good entertain
ment, funny, exciting and made
to order for the Joe Brown fans.

And here is Mr.. RoSoff's:
This thrilling saga of the salty
sea carries such deep conviction
and fine stirring emotion as to

The sterling performances of

Jack Dawn, head of the makeup
department at M-G-M while he
explained how he made up Luise

An interesting chap. this Jack
Dawn, who began his career as a
sculptor. His wife is Maria Shell

He is mighty proud over the way
he was able to build up his wife's

his art, has made her over into
physical perfection.
