'LIoyds' Moves
Columbia

Hats off to Twentieth Century
Fox for their impressive and
thoroughly interesting production
"Lloyds of London" With the
aid of an outstanding array Of
talent they put over to an ap.
preciative audience a feeling OF
direct sincerity.
While boyhood chums Jonathan
Blake and Horatio Nelson form
a sacred pact that stands times
severe test until Nelson's death
at the battle of Trafalgar. The
character of this noble friendship
is born of the fundamental belief
all BritisherS hold dear, namely
that England expects every man
to do his duty.
How much of the film is truth
and how much is continuity written
in by a clever screen adaptor is
hard to say; however, the picture
stands a tribute to a mighty con-
cern. Lloyd's today represents the
monument to those men who, in
former times, showed a courage
unbeatable.
Costume pictures very often are
to be found guilty of the crime

Merry Lark At
The National

That merry lark, boy Meets
Girl" which Broadway has been
cheering for over a year, comes,
on its nationwide tour, to the Ma
tional Theater for a repeat en-
gagement of one week, starting
Monday night.
It's Hollywood holiday. What
this stage play doesn't do in the
way of joshing the films isn't to
be done. The cowboy ham, the
baby star, the studio mogulS, the
comic scenaristS, the strange song
writer's, the actors representative,
the hard boiled studio secretary
and even the movie extra will be
found in this jolly comedy. It's
all in fun.
George Abbott is the producer
and director. Abbott is currently
represented on Broadway as direc-
tor and co-author of Three Men
on a Horse" and producer of
Brother Rat" New York's latest
stage success.
Bella and Samuel Spewack are
the authors. For six years they
have been prominent on the Metro
lot, writing scenarios. Their char
acters in boy Meets Girl" are
drawn from real life, even as to
the songsmiths. Irving Berlin de-
clared that the tune writers of the
show are prototypes of two cele-
brated song makers.

FULL OF MUSIC

FULL OF MUSIC
It's one of those stories of the
show world, tinged with glamor,
CANNED with humor, Sprinkled
with tuneful, hummable song hits
and with an amusing situation
which starts the plot tumbling.
This is the case of the richest
girl in America whose every whim
indulged, couldn't take the ribbing
she was given in the hit show of
the season. The star of the piece
was also the principal sketch
writer, and his take off of the Car
aways struck a flame. OF course
the girl is very beautiful and when
she realizes what a poor sport she
is about the whole affair, she apol-
ogizes and they have a grt nd and
glorious evening with the star
promising to dignity the question
able act.
There is another woman, how
ever; the featured player in the
production who messes up the sit
uation almost hopelesSly, but OF
course it comes out nicely in the
end with an amusing finale.
There are some eXtravagant sets,
much music, loads Of laughs. Alice
Faye singing a heart-breaking
number about This Years Crop
of Kisses" and the beautiful Made
leine Carroll to look at. Made
leine doesn't really rate very much
as an actress, she seems so con-
scious of the frailty of her make
up, but she's nice to look at; Dick
Powell carries the load on is
shoulders and seems quite capable,
his is nice singing voice and he
knows the art of timing a song
number; Alice Faye does a good
job; Cora Witherspoon is excel
lent, George Barber. Walter Cat
lett, Alan Mowbray, Stepin Fetchit
add to a cast which evidently en-
joyed making this picture. The
Ritz Brothers are themselves,
crazy as ever and just as amusing.

of artificiality and a Stodginess
not easily overcome. This is not
the case in this production. Each
player whether his part be large
or small blends into a harmonious
pattern that makes the whole a
vitally alive panoramic sweep.
