Open Monday.

The big Shubert musical,
"Three Waltzes," direct from its
long run at the Majestic Thea
ter, in New York, and the first
operetta Of the season, opens
an engagement of a week at the
National Theater Monday with
an array of distinguished per-
formers recruited from opera,
screen, radio and the dramatic
as well as the lyrical stage.
These include Kitty Carlisle,
Michael Bartlett, Glenn Anders,
Marguerite sylvia, Ann Andrews,
Ruth Hammond, Rosie Moran
and a hundred other singers,
dancers and comedians, not to
make reference to professional
beauties.
Music from the creations of
the trio Of waltz kings-Johann
Strauss, ST., Johann Strauss,
jr., and Oscar Straus consti-
tuteS the background and out
standing feature Of the offering,
but it also is described as having
"a powerful romantic story,
spreading over three genera
tions and the period from 1865
to the present. This affords
unusual opportunity for color
full costuming, something that
is said to have been taken full
advantage of by Connie De
Pima.
The action sweeps from
Vienna in the gayeSt days Of
that one-time carefree capital
to Paris at the turn of the cen
tury and London of today. This,
in turn, permits the introduc-
ton of the dances Of those
locales and Of the periods, a
condition responsible for the
gayest kind Of performance

The colorful settings, three

Joy of Living" made by
RKO-Radio is the second Of
the Irene Dunno farce cycle,
and even as the first was a wal.
Looping hit, this seems more like
an error.
Instead Of Cary Grant, we
have Douglas Fairbanks, jr., as
the Dunno companion in goofi-
ness in the new picture at
Keith's. Now young Mr.. Fair
banks is not at his best in roles
that Bill Powell and Grant can
make appear credible, although
they are madcap.
Young Fairbanks has a toothy
smile, and what passes as
charm, for those whom it does
not impress as braShneSS and
conceit. His freshness to me is
irritating and Joy Of Living"
instead of being the gay conceit
intended becomes more Of a
gag-stuffed bore.
Jerome Kern supplied four
melodious songs and they are
the best things in the labored
comedy. introduced by Miss
Dunno they are "You Couldn't
Be Gutter" "Just Let Me Look at
YOU "a Heavenly Party" and
whats Good About Good

team fell down hard on this tale.
It is about q stage and radio star
who finds it difficult to get
along on $4,000 a week. Her
parasitic family use up much Of
her salary, the income tax man
takes more, and she discovers
that her wages are being at
tached for debt. How terrible.
Fairbanks, jr., plays a Boston
millionaire with some peculiar
philosophy on how life should be
lived. He believes, for instance,
in making himself a nuisance by
forcing his attentions on the
stage star who takes his fancy,

lading at the Earle Theater
lists Fernand Gravel and Car
ole Lombard in Fools for Scan
dal" as the screen entry, and
the adenoidal-toned Judy Can
ova on the side of the ledger
given over to stage business.
Under the heading of major
assets would come the deliriouS
bit of cinematic tomfoolery in
which Carole Lombard has been
selected to costar with Femand
Gravel, newest importa a t ion
from Left Bank theatrical cir
cleS. Monsieur Gravel is a sort
of Chevalier without music.
Carole appears an an Ameri-
can movie star who is doing the
Continent incognito. In the
course Of a visit to Montmartre
she meets up with an impover-
ished baron, Fernand Gravel,
ana his comrade in poverty, Al
len Jenkins.
A FAST COMEDY
The baron proceeds to show
the actress what little of Paris
he can on a limited bankroll.
Their bouleVard-and-cafe safari
comes to an abrupt end when
his pawnbroker seizeS Fernand's
one and only suit of clothes as
down payment on a previously
negotiated and slightly overdue
loan. Carole walks out on the
baron when he makes an ap-
pearance a Ia Bedouin, Swathed
in bed sheets.
Journeying to London, she
encounters a former sweetheart
who is still very much on the
manufacture. Ralph Bellamy
plays the role and his perform.
ance is one of the pictures
pleasant surprises. It is refresh
ing to see him burlesquing one
of those stodgy parts he has so
often played seriously.
The baron follows to Fog
bound-on-the- Thames and by
dint of some fast talking and an
ability to mix a mean batter of
crepeS Suzette lands the job of
chef in the actress menage.
From here on the mise en- scene
resembles nothing so much as a
rapid trip through Gallinger on
a bicycle.
GOOD STAGE SHOW
After some farcical scandals
which shock Staid Mayfair and
permit the stars to exhibit some
of their whackiest comedy tai
entS, Carole gives in, and at one
stroke the baron acquires a
matrimonial and sparring part
ner combined. Ralph Bellamy
emerges with acting laurels
alone to console him.
On the stage, there is some
h1ll-William entertainment in the
person of Judy Canova. Along
with sister Annie and brother
zeke she demonstrates the rea-
sons for the acts high Crosley
rating on the wireless. Their
offering is a collection of songs
and stories purveyed strictly in
the Ozark manner. Yesterdays
audience gave them a warm re-
ception, evincing throughout the
act a familiarity with their
