PRAISE FOR SHIRLEY
"Snow White and the Seven

cause Of its musical score, and,
second, because Of its comedy
invention.
My real regret is that one Of
Shirley Temples pictures is not
included in the laurel league.

for the Academy Award, as in
every way towering above her
ready-made fiction.
This brings us around to the
disappointments Of 1898. First

next, "You Can't Take It With
You" If there must be a third,

boy Meets Girl" violated one
of the Hays office strictest rules
of the production code: you
can't make fun about mother
hood. It was horrible miscast-
ing for Jimmy Cagney and Pat
O'Brien, a tenth-rate production
of q fourth-rate comedy.
"You Can't Take It With
You" tried to make believable
the phoniest Of philosophy.

Lionel Barrymore and all Of his

Open confession was MADE
here last week about the lack
Of accurate knowledge on the
value Of Western stars. Here's
a letter that provides a bit Of
information on the actors who
ride horses.
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
II read with some misgivings
the part Of your column in the
Wednesday Times that told Of
the ballot naming twelve Holly
wood stars, and Of your views
In regard to the naming Of a
western star.
'YOu stated that your choice
was the Lone Ranger since
he was the only one you have
ever seen. If he is the only
westerner you have seen, then
is it fair to select him without
giving the others q trial?
There are, / believe, about
20 cowboy stars on the screen
today. Top ranking Of these
is, contrary to some beliefs, not
Gene Autry, but Buck Jones,
who has been q star for 20
years. Only one other male
actor has been able to equal
that record, Jack Holt, and MIR.
Holt is not making $4,000 .
week. Buck Jones is.
''It has been proved that the
Buck Jones Rangers has q
membership which for the past
five years has fluctuated be-
tween one and three million
boys!
'Mr. Jones is a man of I'M
usually high business sense. Dur
ing the years between 1884 and
1888 he produced, cO-direCted,
and supervised his own movies
for Universal, sometimes even
writing the original story, as in
the case Of Ride EN- Cowboy
and Cowboy and the Kid Dur
ing the aforementioned years
his popularity reached its high
est peak, as did the standards
for westerns.
'NOw, unfortunately, due to
the crude efforts of Republic
Studies to capitalize ON their

''THE CITADEL" NO. 1
Voting then, my honest con-

to 1.-THE Citadel" This is a
screen transcription Of DR.. A.
j. Cronin's novel, a picture that
is true to the author, reflects
the highest intelligence in cast
ing and direction, represents,
to me, the art of the industry in
its fullest expression.
Before I make a longer speech
on behalf of my selections, let
me name them, as follows:
l. "The Citadel" With Rob
ert Donat and ROsalind Russell.
2. marie AntOinette." With
Norma Shearer and Robert
Morley.
8. 'FOur Daughters" With
Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn.
4. Love Finds Andy Hardy"

S. "AIexander's Ragtime
Band" With Alice Faye and
Don Ameche.
6. Conquest" With Greta
Carlo and Charles Boyer.
!. Adventures of Robin
Hood" With Enrol Flynn.
8. I'm Old Chicago" With
Alice Faye.
8. Mad About Music" With
Deanna Durbin.
10. "Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs." By Walt Dis
ney.
This is a list that is topheavy
with straight dramatic celluloid
in the top brackets, mainly
because when Hollywood turned
to music this year it was gen
orally second rate.
SOME GOOD COMEDY

Daughters" and Love Finds

ceived as second string In pro
duction offices, but which sent

"Alexander's Ragtime Band"

because it threaded the endur-
ing melodies Of Irving Berlin

made a blend that charmed Tin
