There's Fun
In 'Blondie'
At the Met
Arthur Lake Has
Gay Role From
Comic Strip
By HARRY MACARTHUR.

An astrologer no doubt could
prove it was some berserk combina-
ton of the stars overhead on his
natal day that made it so. Any
how there seems to be something in
the forces that rule men which ties
Arthur Lake definitely and ire
vocably to comic strips. He got his
start in the business as Harold
Teen" Now Mr.. Lake is an accom-
plished cinema performer-not a
great actor, but still chap skilled
at light comedy. There should al
ways be good roles for him. but
lately he's only been flash on the
screen. In Blonde" the new pic
ture at the Metropolitan, however,
you will find Mr.. Lake back in his
stride, which is very brisk stride
indeed, playing the daylights out of
another comic strip role.
There is in Blonde" much that
you will find diverting and not a
little that you will find downright
hilarious. Followers of the comic
strip will find Arthur Lake Dag
wood Bumpstead to perfection,
Penny Singleton Blonde if there
ever was one, Larry Simms a very
fine Baby Dumping and a pooch
yclept Himself" who is wholly
admirable Daisy" Those who do
not know the comic strip from a
mad Thurber drawing (poor souls)
should still find much that they
will like in the adventures in home
life of pleasantly mad young
family.
Some bright moments have been
included in Richard Flourney's
screen play and Director Frank B.
Strayer and his cast have made the
most of them. No epic among COM
edies is Blonde" but you still will
have to be pretty well soured on
the world not to have a good time
with it. 1t becomes especially whim-
sical when Dagwood sets out to
promote the deal which will save
his furniture from a loan company
and gets to know the hard dealing
businessman who won't see sales
men when both of them become
engrossed in trying to repair
vacuum sweeper in a hotel lobby.
1t gets brightly whimsical number
of other times, too, injecting tur-
moil of various daft brands into the
Bumpstead household, all of which
turmoil makes for a lot of humor,
and good, human humor at that.
Accompanying Blonde" is "Ti-
tans of the Deep" Mr.. William
Beebe's adventure film photo
graphed from his "bathysphere" to
provide a vicarious thrill or two
for seekers after vicarious thrills.
You may or may not become as
excited about it all as Commentator
Lowell Thomas, but it's still a kick
to get several hundred feet below
the oceans surface and watch the
monsters that live there gnaw on
each other.

things you nave not nad q cndnce'
to investigate, opportunity never
knocked louder
A masterpiece of impudence and
irreverence, M. Guitrys drama
examines a card sharp from a
brand-new angle. The usual biog-
rapher of such character makes
him a singularly unworthy citizen,
an object of scorn. Not M. Guitry.
His "tricheur" needs none of the
authors pity, nor any of yours. He
is shown as a victim of capricious
providence, the product of ironical
circumstances, fellow who walks
the dark ways of life with laugh
ter and a philosophical mind. That's
Guitry for you, dramatist who can
make you forget all your moral
training to admire a character for
whom the slightest affection is a
downright sin.
Not only in the quality OF its
philosophy does THE Story of a
Cheat" depart from the normal
standard. 1t is technically different.
Much of the time M. Guitry uses
his actors as mere pantomimists.
Instead of the usual dialogue he en-
ploys a narrator who describes the
why and wherefore of the action.
The narrator, speaking from script,
which creates the impression that
nothing is sacred, speaks French.
That's no handicap, however, for
John Erskine has supplied English
subtitles. They are completely in
the witty spirit of the film and leave
no doubt as to what M. Guitry's
French means.
The mocking mood of the film is
off with the first shot. The cheat
is introduced in childhood. At the
age of IL, he has stolen some money
from his fathers desk to buy mar
bles. For that offense, he is denied
mushrooms for dinner The other
II members of the family eat them,
are poisoned. and die.
In that situation, fate has posed
a problem for the youngster. Did
he live because he was dishonest?
Did the other members of his fam
lily die because they were honest?
knowing which way you would
answer left to your own devices,
M. Guitry rushes right on from
there using his own devices. Before
anyone can say Jack Robinson, the

child is of on career which treats
wrong as right, and vice versa.
And what a career! As a page
boy, elevator operator, soldier, crou-
pier, jewel thief, card sharper and
lover, the cheat runs the gamut of
experience. His very action, some
times inspired by a twinge of con-
science as honest as man ever knew,
tends to emphasize that he is the
exception to the rule that right is
rewarded, wrong punished. In his
case, crime pays and every INSTALL
ment turns out to be a more droll
affair than the one which preceded
it. There's an end, Of course. but
to tell you what it Is would be cheat
ing.
The romantic episodes In which
the cheat is involved are treated
in a fashion which clearly indi-
Gates Guitry's debt to Balzac, an
earlier master of dollery. Two wom-
en- are important factors in the
life of the hero at the height of
his career. One is a jewel thief,
the other gambler. One is blond,
the other brunette and the latter
became his platonic wife.
From both he learned about life
to the accompaniment of some of
the most spicy and mocking narra-
tive and sub-titles. AS a specimen,
one might quote the question Can
I trust her when she isn't gam
bling?" which the cheat asks him.
self when deciding to marry the
darker of the ironically conceived
Isolts.
In the game of making you laugh
with him at everything you devoutly
believe, the impudent Guitry has
the assistance of an excellent cast.
Right behind the author director

formance come Rosine Derean, as
the pretty gem thief; Jacqueline
Delubac, the wife, and Marguerite
Moreno, as an elderly countess who
has a profound influence upon GER
tain aspects of the career of the
cheat as young man.
On the whole, THE Story of a

fare for the disenchanted, a group
which would not include the kiddies
