Mills Boys at

The Mills Brothers, four boys
and a guitar, the unique musical
team that has always been well
liked and welcomed by local
theatergoers, returned here yes

eral months to head the all-star
revue at the Howard Theater.
In their program Of entertain

ever. They bang out many Of
the old favorite numbers thaS
made them famous several years
ago in the usual Mills manner.
Also stepping in for joint
honors on the very step lively
bill is Claude Hopkins and his
band. Hopkins, a product Of

Skating Sonic
AtCoIumbio

Sonia Henie is one of the
luckiest stars in Hollywood.
Since her first appearance all
her pictures have been a success,
a record, of which, anyone in
filmdom should be envious.
my Lucky STAR" her current
tribute now at the Columbia, is
in keeping with all her past per-
formances. If there is any
change, it is that her skating
has improved and her person
ality increased.
Again she has been given bene-
fit of a charming simple story
that raises her from a bundle
wrapper to a mannequin for her
boss at a college where she was
given an opportunity to finish
her college education.
This gives her a chance to
demonstrate her ability to wear
clothes and a stab at the title
of being the only star to wear
so many different changes of
clothes in one picture.
At college these clothes turn
the girls against her, they think
ing she is a rich prude. Her
skating ability finally patches
up her campus friction, and set
ties a triangular dispute in
which she is involved as CORE
Spondent.
The picture is intermingled
with comedy and romance. Bud
dy Ebsen and Joan Davis draw
many laughs with their antics
and songs, while Richard Green,
Hollywood>s new find, gives
splendid support as Miss Henie's
own true love.
Cesar Romero as a play boy
son of a department store owner,
George Barber, presents one of
the best characterizations since
his attempted comeback.
Lew Lehr is shown in his short
entitled What Every Girl
Should Know" and Dick Tracy
continues on.

C0hQn's Revue.
OPENS MOndQv

More than ordinary interest
has been aroused by the an
nouncement that Sam H. Har-
ris will send his big musical hit.
I'D Rather be Right" starring
the inimitable George M. Co
han in the role of President
Roosevelt, to the National
Theater for an engagement of
one week, opening Monday
night.
No theatrical attraction in
recent years has been as widely
publicized as this hilarious and
laughable, but biting, satire of
the New Deal by George S.
kaufman and Moss Hart, with
music and lyrics by Richard
Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
IMPERSONATES F. D. r.
The President and all the
members of his cabinet are not
only called by their real names,
but are spoofed numerically,
and it might be mentioned, to
their credit, that most of them
have seen and enjoyed the en-
tertainment. It has been
pointed out, incidentally, that
nowhere else on the face of the
earth would such a lampoon Of
those in high places be permit.
tod ~. folorofod
In I'D Rather Be Right" a
love-sick boy can't get married
because his boss doesn't know
what is going to happen to the
country. He falls asleep, while
telling his troubles to his sweet
heart and dreams that President
Roosevelt walks into the park.
FULL OF DANCING
He appeals to the Executive,
who promises to see that the
boy and girl are married even
if he has to seek a third term to
do it. During this interview the
President makes this confes-
sion: THE trouble with this
country is, that I don't know
what the trouble with the coun-
try is"
The meetings Of the cabinet
and their suggestions to balance
the budget, the dozen or more
musical interpretations, and the
thrilling climax of the first act
wherein George Cohan goes into
his famous yankee Doodle"
dance while singing We're Co
ing to Balance the Budget" "
crowd the stage with the liveliest
entertainment set before the
public in many a day.

Champ Fan Letter
Is Sent Crawford

A letter received by Joan
Crawford set a new fan mail
record. The letter ran 312
hand-written pages, and came
from a fan in New York city.
The writer says that he has
watched the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer stars career and thought
she would like to read his dis
cuSSion of her picture roles. So,
with paper, pen, and ink, he
wrote the letter, said to be the
longest ever received by any
star.

Can't Take 1t
Atthe Met

"You Can't Take It With You"
has moved over to the Metro
politan after a two weeks run
at the Earle. The popularity OF
this hilarious comedy is readily
attested by the almost unprece-
dented crowds.
AS a "blue's chaser" Frank
Capra's picture for Columbia is
recommended without qualifica-
ton. This 1888 season will prob
ably offer few more enjoyable
films.
Lionel Barrymore is Grand
father Sycamore, who one day
caught up with an idea and
thereupon turned right around
and went back home to do just
exactly as he pleased. Also he
determined that every member
of his household should follow
this Utopian path.
The enlivening fun which
follows transmits itself to the
audience with rare success and
despite an impossible plot and
Incredible situations, "You Can't
Take 1t With You" turns out a
riot.
Edward Arnold Is second only
to the great Barrymore, giving

Robinson in II Am the Law"
Plus Jan Gorber's Bond

Big double measure of excite
ment at Warner Brothers Earle
where Edward G. Robinson
(screen) and Jan CARRIER (stage)
are sharing honors.
II Am The Law" is a film
play which will arouse all ages
and personalities for there is
romance mixed with emotional
drama, properly timed by
chuckles and perfectly paced by
excellent direction.
ON SIDE OF LAW
A representative American
city is being controlled by gang
sters, rackets control legitimate
business, the small merchant is
being forced to bankruptcy by
the threats and destructive
measures of hoodlums; from
this near-chaos courage, power
and a thorough knowledge of
the law in the person of one
John Lindsay rises to force the
city to realization Of its danger;
he has been given leave from his
position as professor of law at
the university, lea:'e which was
to be spent in leisurely travel,
rest, recreation; his plans were
completely disrupted by his de-
sire to lend his talents to the rid
dance of underworld power.
Finding that his efforts are
underrated by the city council.
he calls in his alumni and they
work out a plan which wins. but
not before hardShips, death and
near collapse have played their
part in the plot.
The amazing particular of the
play is Edward G. Robinson,
once the screens toughest char.
acter, as the hero, full of fight
as always but on the right side,
outcheating the cheaters, even
doing the "big apple" as part Of
his reform. He is a fine actor,
one of the best, and this is evi-
IDENTIFY screen role much to his
liking. In support are such
good players as John Beal, Bar
bara O'Neil, Wendy Barrie and
Otto Kruger, smooth, polished
actor.
JAN CARRIER BAND
The stage is completely taken
over by Jan CARRIER and his out
fit which includes Rudy Rudi-
sill, an ivory addict with rhythm
in his fingers, and Lee Bennett,
a young man who sings well but
smiles too little; featured is Pa
tricia Norman who popularized
the fasci n a ting "Old Man
Nose" plus Lorraine and Rog-
nan, eccentric dancers, who
poke fun at the waltz; Serge
Flash, juggler, rounds out a pro-
gram which covers the distance
between the enchanting tunes Of
the CARRIER orchestra and the
rip-roaring action of Mr.. Robin
son.
A packed house approved with
applause the entire bill.

Here is a story full of in
credibilities, and sometimes re-
sorting to Mack Sennett tricks,
but it is a good vehicle in which
to roll the Dionnes in front OF

RICH IN DANCING

pounding done to the music of

close the entertainment with
a colorful shawl speciality, that
cements their reputation as tip
top precision steppers.
From the English music halls
come Frederick Sylvester and
his nephews. The nephews are
midgetS, and skilled acrobats,
with their diversified routine,
including head-balancing and a
touch of the Lambeth Walk.
Very good.
Gale and Carson in eccentric
dancing, and the rhumba and
swing music of the Rimacs with
their Muchachos, completes a
fast entertainment.

Clark Gable is his usual virile
self, to the delight of all the
