NoveItyShow
For Earle

Novelty galore is promised
Earle Theater audiences IN
Harry Anglers worlds Fair
Revue" which will be the stage
attraction starting Friday.
Headliners of the show are 10
attractive young ladies who
dance. who skate, and who per.
form difficult diving feats in a
special tank to be constructed
on the stage. Dancing and skat-
ing are hardly novel; diving,
however, is something out OF
the usual stage show routine.
But, what is more, these young
ladies also disappear, right be-
fore your eyes. They go down
into the tank and presto!
Gone!
Presented by Lottie Mayer,
and featuring Lottie Mayer, jr,
these 10 girls are expected to
create a great deal of comment.
But they are not the only nov
city on this diversified program.
There is also DR.. Hoffman.
DR.. Hoffman, it seems, pos
sesseS a magic pitcher, from
which he can pour anything
from H-2-O to champagne. Pa
irons are invited by the amiable
doctor to name their drink;
whereupon the doctor gives his
pitcher a tilt and produces a
glass of the desired beverage
quicker than you can say bot
toms Up!"
The diving girls and the drink
making doctor are important
parts of a stage program which
includes also Art Frank, the Vet
eran Playboy, with Vivian Peter
son; the Virginians, popular
singers, and Burns, Moriarity
and Dell, who will present "A

aristocrat, trying vainly to make
her own way, although she
knows that her lungs are incur
ably touched. and her future
here will be short.
She takes part in the little
gaieties of the boys, and Robert
Taylor falls desperately in love
with her. Patricia feels it would
be folly to pursue. a romance
that consumes her, but Franchot
Tone advises, and induces, her
to marry his pal. And so does
Gotfried. Illness strikes her
down on the honeymoon.
Their little joys and sorrows
are artfully told, and with an
impelling simplicity. Gotfrled
is shot down by the mysterious
forces that are trying to cap
ture the government. Otto and
Erich spend their time tracking
down his assassin, and using all
their resources to help the
stricken Patricia. In the end
she realizes her brave fight, and
theirs, is a futile gesture against
destiny.
THREE ABLE MALES
Now all of this has been told
with considerable gaiety, and a
carefree spirit has been blended
into it's youth problem. These
three musketeers of peace see
much to laugh at, get their fun
as the world moves. They have
their moments of hopeleSSness,
and times when despair seems
dominant, but they are invari-
ably men of magnificent cour'
age.
1 can't think of three actors
in Hollywood who could have
done a better job in expressing
Otto, Erich and Gotfried-
than Franchot Tone, Robert
Taylor and Robert Young. These
are SuperlatiVe performances,
worthy of matching with the
poignant acting of Margaret
SULLIVAN.
Director Frank Borzage has
directed the tale with a fine
understanding of its soaring
tragedy, at the same time keep
ing in mind that joy is never
fugitive when hearts are young.
I think Three Comrades" is
one of the finest pieces of adult
entertainment that has issued
from Hollywood this season, and
it will be delight to those who
enjoy good acting. The picture
comes to LoeW's Palace Theater
screen Friday.

Erich (Robert Taylor, and Got
fried (Robert Young, returned
from the trenches, disillusioned,
but determined to be comrades
in peace, as they were in war.
They are little bewildered at
the state of the world, but set
themselves up as auto mechan-
les to try and get living, and
some happiness, out of a civil
lied routine. Franchot Tone is
the level-headed, clear thinker.
Robert Young is pictured as an
idealist who would keep his
country free of the new "isms"
and influences that threaten its
peace. Robert Taylor is an am
bilious dreamer.
Patricia is a war impoverished

SOME POIGNANT ACTING
1 am not among those who
read the original Remarque
novel, so that my appraisal OF
what flashed across the prev!eW
screen yesterday is of a great
love ,story-the affection, self
sacrifice and devotion that three
brave men expended on cour-
ageous soul who was doomed.
Some may be disappointed
that a powerful message OF So
cial significance and probing into
postwar conditions in Germany
are vaguely treated, while the
scenaristS concentrate attention
on a Camille-like story of frus-
tration. But as one who is
little tired of Europe's troubles
and it's war politics, I am salts
fled to take pure romance.
Here we have three valiant SOL
diers. Otto (Franchot Tone,
