split could not wait to get it from
the Earle TO the Metropolitan. where
it opened yesterday That was very
wise Of Warner Bros, because this
picture starring Gary Cooper and
Claudette Colbert is one of the more
lterate comedies which has made its
appearance in the cycle of madcappery
which has grabbed Hollywood to its
caprlcious bosom within the past year.
If you did not see it at the Earle, you

represents, essentially, Mr.. Ernest
Lubitsch being quite grown up about
affairs of the heart. The theme, if it is
not made clear in that statement, is
one with which every one has to deal
sooner or later and seeing it from the
Lubitsch standpoint may prove helpful.
"Bluebeard's Eight Wife" introduces
Mr.. Cooper in the mood which was so
artfully disposed of by him in Mr..
Deeds Goes to Town" In this pic
ture, he is a poor rich chap who has
tried seven times to achieve happiness
In marriage. If Reno does not cheat
him, which it does six times, Heaven
does, which 1t does once That brings
Mr.. Cooper to Miss Claudette Colbert.

scious that he has one of the more

has found in its quest for piquant
comedy. What evoles may not be the
best possible fare for children. but it
Is likely to be amusing for adults who
are willing to accept the world for
what scientific knowledge insists it is.
Miss Colbert. as French miss. knows
how to deal with cases like Mr..
Cooper's. Through teaching him the
art OF yearning for the unattainable
she becomes attainable AS a result,
it ends happily as you knew it would

having to do with the picture relished
his opportunity to play in something

in his last picture, Angel" but it

this one.

Mr.. Hawks has used to best ad-

OF Miss Hepburn's technique. Where
her monotones have been merely
monotones in the past, they now are
devoted to fine comic contrasts. Her
severity has been turned into pleasant
insanity, and she has barred nothing
to achieve the finest effects of slap
stick.
The show is fundamentally a tale
Of misadventure between a lively, ir-
responsible girl and a semi-serious
scientist who thought he knew what
he wanted until he had been intro
duced into the sillier way of life.

Screen Writer Saws
Films Should Use
More Originals.

HELEN MEINARD1, screen writer
under contract to R-K-O Radio
Pictures, is in New York on a two
week vacation to see if Manhattan's
skyline and night spots have changed
materially since she left of novel
writing here year ago to concoct
film yarns.
Miss Meinardi prefers doing originals
to film treatments of originals-even
OF her own. She feels that Hollywood
is waking up to the fact that better
material can be secured by having
its screen writer's work on an original
idea than by adapting a story from
the stage or fiction, which means, she
says. working it at second hand.
Besides, if the movies are ever to
become an independent medium" she
thinks, Hollywood should lean less
on the stage and the publishing mar
ket and more on its own writers. There
is plenty of worthwhile talent there
waiting for the chance. The Broad
way stage and the book market cannot
supply all the needs of the screen in
Its search for unusual stories. hope
the day is not far off when Hollywood
producers will prefer working from
scratch on an original story to rework-
ing something intended for a different
medium"
R-K-O Radio loaned Miss Meinardi
to Sam Goldwyn, for whom she did
the original script of Sun Valley" to
be made soon with Jon Hall and
Andrea Leeds teamed On her return
to Hollywood. she expects to start work
on Highway to Romance" on the

I Met Him in Paris" was made into

THE big surprise of the Capitol's bill
this week, however, is not Warnings

are several familiar names in its cast,
but not one of them is the kind that
would make you stir out of your chair

just how commonplace it is can be

Judge Hardy, played by Lewis Stone,

process shooting is used to impose the
principal characters on such sets as
the Corcoran Art Gallery, Mount Ver-
non, the steps Of the Supreme Court,
the Lincoln Memorial and other local
institutions. Process shooting" if it
needs to be explained to make clear
why any one does not remember the
cast being here, involves shooting the
scene separately, then placing the
characters of the story against it in
Hollywood at some later date. 1t
looks very authentic.
Star Of the picture, even if no one
asks us, is Mickey Rooney. He is the
15-year-old son of the Hardys. a lad
trapped simultaneously in the throes
of love, culture, athletics and politics.
There also is a sister, bit older, who
is caught in the Vaccinations of a
gang of lobbyists and whose bump
kinishness puts her pop on rather
spot until the son shows him how to
get off.
The whole thing is much too simple
for any one to describe it, but it also
is amusing in its way. There are
some nice performances. too, in addi-
ton to those of young Rooney and
Stone. 1t looks much better on the
screen than any one could make it
look in type.
