Angel Merits
Second Week

"shopworn Angel" the poig-
nant tale of a doughboy and a
showgirl, opened its second
week at Loew's Palace yester.
day.
The story is not deep nor is
1t particularly novel, but humor
and pathos combine to make
this film worth seeing. The
splendid acting ability Of its
three principals also contribute
to its success.
Margaret SULLIVAN, as the
"Shopworn Angel" a night club
singer with a shady reputation,
gives a performance worthy of
her reputation, while James
Stewart, ingenious and sincere,
makes an excellent young
soldier from Texas, who falls in
love with the Showgirl.
The third member of the trio
is Walter Pidgeon, handsome
and versatile, who gives a good
performance as the Tilted Suitor.
In the supplementary pro-
gram is a Robert Benchley yarn
on how to raise a baby, and a
Crime Does Not Pay" drama,

The Sheik'

From a glance at the size Of
audience at the Columbia last
night one would never suspect
that '"The Shiek" was an
antique so far as moving pic
lures go.
AS we look back, it seems un-
believable that a picture could
be made to tell a story without
the now fully established con-
tribution of sound. Action had
to supplant words, and because
of this, scenes of "The Shiek"
seem grossly over acted. But
if they had used present day
technique, little would have
been told and Rudolph Valen-
tino would have been a failure.
Valentino and Agnes AyreS
have long since been removed
from the modern screen, but
there are two characters in the
film that we see every now and
then today. They are Adolphe
Menjou and Lucien Littlefield.
Menjou is the easiest recognized
of the two, Littlefield bearing
not a trace of what he is today.
Menjou is not only the best
dressed man, but he has the
mustache and that's what
counts, in those days as well as
now.
The motion picture industry
has been looking intenSively for
another drawing card that will
rival the famous Valentino, and
as yet they are unsuccessful.
But the memory of ''The Great
Lover" fingers on and people
still flock to see his image.
THE Lone Ranger" is hitting
the stretch with fourteenth
coming up and one to go.

TOREADOR RAVE
This is the tale Of a playwright
who went to Mexico to soak up
atmosphere and incidentally to
write q love story that would be
q perfect vehicle for the talents
of one Marilyn Joyce, glamor-
Gus Hollywood blonde, who fan
cies herself in love with the
playwright. In Mexico the
young man dictates day after
day to his secretary, trying to
put an idea into action, but it's
no use until his heart is caught
by a lovely native girl whose
songs Of love, gentle manner
and beauty captivate him COM
pletely; there is the difficulty
Of the Hollywood blonde but that
is taken care Of by the comic
element in the picture.
There is dancing, much Of the
languorous music of the tropics,
strumming Of guitars, even q
bullfight in which Martha Raye
is the toreador, and much Of the
moonlight, swaying palms and
breaking surf.
Dorothy Lamour, Ray Milland,
Bob Burns, Martha Raye, Bin
ME Barnes and a fine Marimba
band have a nice time playing
UP for US; it's a pleasant little
piece, nothing new except the
music.

talents run to limitations, OF
rather impersonations, for his

Herbie Holmes, MissisSippi's
Famous Musical Merchant, who
begins a weeks engagement Mon
day evening in the Ballrom, is
providing just the right tunes
for that recreation. The femi-
nine vocal end is well taken care
of by beautiful brunette Nancy

Most of the musicians are also
accomplished singers, and offer
Glee Club renditionS of collegi-
ate songs and the top flight IA
vorites of today.
Popular also these warm days
is the Crystal Pool at the big
resort, where men, women and
children may enjoy themselves
at small cost. Another innova-
ton is the World Cruise, which,
by means of streamlnied boats,
takes the visitor on "a trip
around the world.
Two other -Four Star" attrac-
tions are the Dodgem rides, with
new streamlined cars, and the
fast fleet of motor boats on the
waterway canal. The picnic
grounds at Glen Echo are draw
ing like a magnet, and entire
families are spending the day
under the shady trees with time
to sample all the new thrillerS,
plus the tried and true Coaster
Dips, Wip, Pretzel, Carrousel
and the barrels Of fun to be had
in the popular Midway.
The ride to Glen Echo via
street car, along the banks of
the Potomac, enables one to get
thoroughly cooled off before
reaching the park. Motorists
are assured of ample parking
space, the surface of which is
expertly macadamized, insuring
no damage from dust or dirt, to

TROPIC HOLIDAY" AT EARLE
Met Offers
Unusual
Thriller

Aside from being an extreme
ly interesting feature, when
Were You Born?" now at the
Metropolitan, seems uninten-
tionally to be a well written ad-
vertisement for the age old
science Of astrology.
If you have never succumbed
to the astrological fever you will
certainly have a bad case when
you walk out. Your temperature
should range between a 110 and
120, and no doctor will be able to
cure it. Yet we heartily recon-
mend Maxine, who personally
reads your horoscope in the
lobby of the theater. Her help
may be the cure.
CLEVERLY WRITTEN
It starts with a prologue con-
Quoted by the author, Manley
Hall, who runs through all of
the signs Of the Zodiac naming
the characteristics Of each sign.
His eyes are the Strangest ever
seen. It is impossible to with
draw your attention from them
throughout his discourse.
Cleverly written to include
characters that call for each
Zodiac sign so that the facts of
each may be enlarged upon, the
opening scene is aboard ship.
bound for San Francisco from
the Orient. Mary Lee Ling
(Anna May Wong), an eminent
astrologer, predicts the death
Of Philip Corey within two days,
and everyone says, "Poppycock."
Hokum, or no hokum, Corey
(JameS StephenSon) is found
dead within that time and her
prediction spreads. The police
suspect her, but with the help
Of Inspector Gregg (Charles
WILSON, she begins to draw
horoscopes OF eacn OF the SuS-
poets.
NOVEL METHOD
One by one she narrows the
suspects down until she finally
reaches the right conclusion and
the murderer.
The suspects include Corey's
partner, Frederick Cow; his
fiancee, Margaret Lindsay: his
mistress, his butler and numer-
GUS others.
The novel method in which a
story is presented woven into a
world of information on the
science Of astroIogy is decidedly
unique, and therefore holds the
interest profoundly.
It is heartily recommended!

VERY STELLA DALLAS

VERY STELLA DALLAS
When Barbara's fiance is
killed in an automobile crack-up
while she awaits him at the altar
her dilemma is further increased
by the unfortunate circum-
stance that she is, as the French
have it, slightly enceinte.
Herbert Marshall, exercising
that quiet charm which makes
every role of his sympathetic
one, portrays a young doctor
who comes to her assistance
after the baby is born.
Pointing out that she owes it
to her child he arranges for the
infants adoption by a married
couple, friends Of his, who will
give the boy home and name
on the condition that the mother
never see him again.
From this point on, the story
revolves around Barbara'S ef-
forts to rehabilitate herself and
regain custody of the child. It's
all very Stella Dallas, Barbara
never missing an opportunity to
look heroic and maintaining at
all times a proper Ruth Chat
terton air of martyrdom.
OTHERS IN CAST
Eventually she is reunited with
her boy and an orderly solu-
ton is obtained from a rather
tangled set of circumstances,
thanks mostly to Herbert Mar
shall and Binnie Barnes. The
blonde Binnie never looked more
beauteous, by the way, causing
lot of us to wonder when they
are going to give her a fairer
chance to display her acting as
we'll as physical gifts.
For Barbara Stanwyck it is
a return to the glamour girl"
roles which brought her fame.
Cesar Romero, Lynn Bari, Ian
Hunter. and John Russell are
others in the cast.
The stage show is headed by
Johnny Perkins as master Of GER
emonies with roly-poly Johnny
working very hard and releasing
some gags which are not too old,
not too new.
Ruth Petty is the shows stand
out and her speciality is rhythm.
Reminiscent of the earlier
Sophie Tucker she demonstrates
a free and easy Stage-preSence.
Her song style kept her on the
stage answering encoreS until
yesterdays performance ran far
behind schedule.
Bob King does a VentrlloqulSt
novelty act and the Titan Trio,
exponentS of the Body Beautiful
or Bernarr MacFadden school of
acting, perform some rhythm
tricks in slow motion.
jeanette Hackett, assisted by
chorus of 12, brings the bill to
a conclusion with some of her
graceful interpretations of the
