then he was in the clear, running

Thomas Item Tops
Trans.Lux Bill.

THE latest edition Of Lowell Thomas
Going Places" featurette consti-
tutes the most interesting item on the
Trans-Lux bill this week. One can
listen to Mr.. Thomas voice for more
than a few minutes without becom-
ing bored, and he has a pair of par
ticularly interesting subjects to talk
about this time. These two outstand-
ing sequences deal with the manu-
facture Of flexible fabrics from spun
glass and pearl culture, with empha-
Sis upon Mikimoto. who is recognized
as No. man in that line.
The camera has caught ancient
and modern modes of life in lux
Imposition in Singapore, and the shots
have been edited into an attractive
travelogue, Crossroads of the Orient"
filmed in color. The other short
subjects are I'm the SWIM" pictur-
ing almost every possible diving ma
neuver demonstrated by Olympic
champions with slow-motion being
utilized extensively, and THE Moth
and the Flame" Disney cartoon
dealing with love, devotion and peril
in the insect world.
Preparedness is emphasized in the
news department of the program with
air operations over New York City
and the rushing Of construction work
on submarines being shown. Among
the clips chosen from the product of
all newsreel companies are those pic
turing night preview Of the New
York Worlds Fair, the new Linbergh
home in Brittany, the debate over
saving the life of a Chicago baby
with an eye affection, summer FASH

for their bout, Cleveland's food crisis,

Bradna, Mr.. Stone and Miss Farrell.
Miss Bradna handles her first starring
role with considerable competence.
She is convincing actress. has a
singing voice which falls sweetly upon
the ear, her dancing is graceful and
light as spring breeze and her in
gratiating personality is far warmer
than some of the breezes we have had
the past few days. She does just as
well by Stolen Heaven" as it does
by her, which is very well, indeed.
Mr. Stone. in one of the best roles
he has had in while, plays the pianist
with both the feeling and the convic-
ton which help make that climax a
logical one; Miss Farrell adds comedy
relief in fine fashion and Porter Hall
contributes his bit. Mr.. Raymond is

ON THE Capitol's stage this week
you will find several excellent per-
formers; you will find, in fact, that
every one on the stage bill is at or
near the top in his or her own par

liner, Mr.. Phil Regain, in fine voice and
by this time, no doubt, singing his

about having been planted way up

He should know it is a treat to hear
him sing whether he is on the stage
or in the last row of the balcony, and
so should you.

some of the old favorites, all of them

Of them, that is, but the impersonation

matte moment. full of pathos. OF the
others you will like best. perhaps, the
large and formidable priraa donna and
that famous take-off of Mrs. Roosevelt
at the Girl Scout meeting.
For more comedy there are Carroll

and whose manner of presenting it is
fresh and witty: for dancing there is

In Old Chicago Stays
Another Week.

THERE'S nothing more to be said
about Mr.. Daryl Zanuck's Tn
Old Chicago" The picture now Is in
its second week at the Columbia, its
fourth week on F street, and II that
sort of box office reaction does not
convince you it is worth seeing, nothing
said here could convince you.
I'm Old Chicago" Is worth seeing
principally for the blaze MIR. Zanuck
and his cohorts have stirred up in
"the patch" and sent sweeping over
q city, for it is spectacle at its best,
one Of the most exciting Of the stirring
moments conjured up by Hollywood's
woodworking special effects men.
Other reasons for seeing the film
are Alice Brady's splendid perform
ance as the Mrs. OTeary, whose COW
is blamed for it all. and Don Ameche,
who is always convincing as the better
Of the O'Leary sons. The fictionalized
version OF Chicago's history, upon
which Mr.. Zanuck has hung his con-
fiagration, is diverting enough to hold
your attention until the sparks fly
and Tyrone Power and Alice Faye are
almost as good as the story.

.Lovette Choral Club
Is Heard in Varied
Spring Concert.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

A LARGE audience assembled last
evening in the Italian Garden Of
the Mayhower Hotel to hear the elev-
enth annual spring concert of the
Lovette Choral Club. Eva Whitford
Loveste director. The club was assist
ed by Hazel Cake, soprano, and Milton
Schwartz. violinist, who was accom-
panied by Sol Sax. Some of the num-
beers sung by the group were directed
by Francise Bass Wilson, assistant
director.
The tonal quality which the club
achieves is remarkably sweet and pure
and the pitch is true except when the
sopranos reach to the highest register,
but since the selections were well cho-
sen to suit the range of the voices
this happened only rarely. The vocal
sections Of the group are equally bal
anced. SO that the interharmony
brings fine matching Of tonal color.
The diction Is clear and feeling for
shadings well accentuated.
The varied program opened with
"Salutation," by Samuel Ricard
Grimes. which Is dedicated to the Ma
tional Federation Of Music Clubs, and
which the club sang recently at the
banquet during Music Week. It was
Immediately followed by an excerpt

Other outstanding numbers were
1.-THE Lotus Flower" Schumann-Claas-

Rose Maiden" by Sir Frederic Cow
an, and Stebbins' arrangement of
Grieg's "A Swan" Hageman's Christ
Went Up Into the Hills" was excellent
ly sung, with incidental solo by Phebe

the program was Bird Song" by
Pearl Curfan, sung by the group, with

Deanna Durbin Film
Stays On at Keith's.
n1Ihlic hi

THE public has taken to Deanna
Durbin's Mad About Music" in
. manner which is true delight to
every one who has been raving about
the young lady since her first picture
first was shown. and the film stays on
now for third week at R-K-O
Keith's. This is, Of course, as it should
be, for Mad About Music" is one of
the seasons truly delightful screen
diversions. Its story is pleasant
fabrication that tugs at the heart
strings, its music is music that is
pleasant to hear and its star is in
better voice than ever before, and per-
haps an improved actress.
It matters not that you know full
well that the story of Mad About
Music" Is pure hokum, for it Is so
skillfully done you almost believe it.
The yarn about little girl in board
ing school who is driven into produce
ing fictitious father about whom she
has been Boosting is aimed right at
the heart and it certainly hits its
mark. 1t all goes along the way you

know 1t will, but Miss Durbin and her
fellow players-principally Herbert
Marshall and Gail Patrick-make 1t
seem like something important and
more than once there will be room for
nothing in your heart and mind but
sympathy for little girl in large
predicament.
The musical embellishments, Of
course, are large part of Mad About
Music" for the cinema offers few
greater pleasures than listening to
Deanna Durbin lift that clear, sweet,
emotion-f1lled soprano in song and

Here she sings II Like to WHISTLE"
"Serenade to the Stars" Chapel Bells"
and scores her greatest singing triumph

and beautifully sung version of ave

much scope as survey Of the antics at

amount of strain that can be trans
mitted through the eyes to the heart
without occasioning tragic conse-
quences. for to feature surfeited with
skidding automobiles and trucks has
been added short subject which packs
a series of disasters intended to leave
the viewer quite limp and fulfilling
its purpose in more than adequate
style.
The feature picture is "Tip-Of
Girls and it deals with the people
who roam about waylaying interstate
trucks and stealing their cargoes. One

Mary Carlisle and Lloyd Nolan are
the stars, and they perform their act

though Mr.. Nolan is a Oman this
time, one waits for him to be revealed
as an ally Of the thugs or for him to
quit the service. Mr.. Nolan is not so
revealed nor does he go over to the
other side, and he performs naturally
as a servant of law and order, so there
is little point in starting an argyll

the boss of the hijackers to good effect,

Test Pilot Thrills
For a Third Week.

THERE seems to be a ready market
for thrills these days and excite
ment up among the clouds, for "Test
Pilot" now embarks upon a third week
at Loew's Palace. There are thrills and
excitement aplenty in TEST Pilot"
too; performances by airplanes and
cameramen which dwarf the per-
formances Of Spencer Tracy, Myrna
10y and Clark Gable, good as those
latter performances are.
1t is no real cause for complaint that
the story of TEST Pilot" lags consid-
erably every time it settles down on the
ground. for. just as you are about
either to give up or to start praying
for something to happen, it happens.
Director Victor Fleming does not keep
his cameras on the ground for long at
any one time, and when he takes them
IN the air he provides some of the
most thrilling moments the screen has
presented in many a season.
It is no matter, either, that you
know for sure some Of the exciting
airplane shots could have been made
no way but by trickery. When Clark
Gable, for instance, rips the wings of
a pursuit ship in a terminal-velocity
dive you are not thinking how the
shots were made, but you are sitting
on the edge of the seat wondering how
in the world he is ever going to fight
his way out against the slipstream and
save himself. When his motor conks
out in storm and he dives into clouds
with dead stick you will sigh with
relief just as though you were right
there in the plane as the clouds open
to show field below. They're tricks,
maybe, but they are mighty fine tricks.
Mr.. Spencer Tracy also has a few
tricks up his sleeve, stealing scene
after scene from Miss 10y, Mr.. Gable
and even Lionel Barrymore, getting
more out Of his role than ever was
l. written into it. II. M.
