Mr.. Dies said number Of labor

blast"
Mr.. Roosevelt recently criticized
the committee for permitting itself
to be used in flagrantly unfair
and un-American attempt to inf1u-
ence an election"
Small Gifts Come In.
The Texan added that since Mr..
Roosevelt had taken public notice
of the investigation the committee
had received numerous contributions
ranging from 81 to $50.
Most of these offers came from
poor people who were disturbed by
the committees revelations" Mr..
Dies said.
The committee postponed until
tomorrow hearing scheduled for
today on alleged Communist activity

chairman said he expected to begin
tomorrow a series of hearings last

'Stablemates' Back
To Plav Columbia

Out of the vast stores of hokum
at its disposal M-G-M drew much
to give "Stablemates" the friendly
appeal of the familiar. The pic
ture, which has now turned up at
LoeW's Columbia for a second week
on F street, starts out being hokum
by being the one about the boy,
the horse and the man they re-
formed. 1t goes on being hokum by
continuing in this vein while the
affection between the lad and the
man grows and while the horse has
trouble with his feet. It ends up
still hokum when the horse no more
has athletes foot and wins the
great race, and every one is ever so
happy and sad, too, because the
grizzled old veterinary Is going to
Jail to pay his debt to society and
return an upright citizen.
All of these moments you have
seen before are handled so adroitly
by Director Sam Wood and his cast,
however, that "Stablemates" emerges
warm and pleasant screen en-
tertainment. And just as much as
there is due directional handling
for giving old scenes a fresh look,
there is credit due Mickey Rooney
and Wallace Beery for their fine
trouping in the leading roles. AS
team they complement each other
splendidly, and when they set to
work on bit of hefty melodra-
mates they can wrap an audience
up and take it home with them.
"Stablemates" is sentimental stun
indeed, but 1t is sentiment well
done. H. M.

Good Comedy

That very amusing account of life
at Virginia Military Institute, which
appeared on the stage two years ago
as Brother Rat" turns up on the
screen of the Metropolitan this week
as a pleasant film comedy. Bearing
the hallmark OF Warner Bros, it also
bears the names of several of its
more engaging young players.
Among them are Priscilla Lane, Jane
Wyman and Wayne Morris Yet,
while all of these are adequate, act
ing honors are carted away by a
newcomer from Broadway. Eddie
Albert is the young man who gives
the others lesson in acting and
gives the audience q characterize
ton which it is bound to rate as
one of the better things of recent
months at the movies.
Brother Rat" as every one should
know by this time, is no noble narra-
tive of how plastic youth is nodded
into magnificent soldier specimens.
Authored by pair of effervescent
alumni of V. M. l., it deals with the
hair-raising escapades of some of
the boys in the fields of romance,
athletics. scholarship and discipline
An oddly assorted bunch of affairs
II there ever was one.
Every one involved has a tempes-
tuous time of it, especially the audi
ence, which is never sure from one
moment to the next that the ebul-
lient life of the cadets involved will
not find its end in expulsion and
disgrace. That is a tribute not
merely to the artfulness of the orig
inal drama and its adaptation for
the films, but to the direction of
William Keighley, who keeps things
moving at a virtually delirious speed
As screen fare. Brother Rat" has
the impressive virtue of being fresh,
although the Hays Office has seen
to it that it is not SO darned fresh
as the play was on certain scientific
points. It still has all those spright-
ly young people, however, and the
way they scamper around on the
brink of disaster is one Of the most
animated films Of the season.

the excitement and shell fire there
is no more serious damage than a
couple of broken bones, some ner-
vousness and a lot of seasickness
Much of this Is entertaining, to be
sure, but 1t is no saga of the travails
of the boys on the sub-chasers and
1t Is not war, unless Gen. Sherman
was wrong. (Or right)
Director John Ford, an old hand
at manipulating fogs and suspense,
has turned several neat tricks here
and given Submarine PATROL a
few sequences that bristle with
tenseness. And when not dealing
with suspense or with action Mr.
Ford has managed, too, to prevent
boredom from taking the upper
hand
This is something it easily could
do in a yarn about a rich fellow
on sub-chaser in love with the
daughter of a freighter captain
and always getting poked in the
teeth by the girls pop In strange
places like italy and the Brooklyn
Navy Yard.
Whenever things begin to look
dull, however, Mr.. Ford and the
script writer's have run right back
to the good old S. C. 500 to hunt
for humor or action. Sometimes
they have not found it, but some
times-probably enough times-they
have. Once, at any rate, Mr. Ford
has contrived one of the most sus-
pense-filled sequences of this year,
when motion pictures are your best
entertainment. When, on a dark
and foggy night, the little splinter
boat sets out to sneak gingerly
through a mine field and track
down a submarine, you will find
excitement enough to put you on
the edge of your seat. And a
couple Of times you are likely to
find yourself tense, awaiting the ex-
plosion. just as If you didn't know
that Daryl Zanuck would bring
Mr.. Greene through safely to take
Miss Kelly off the freighter and
save her from a fate worse than
wedlock.
The playing Of all this is done
with varying degrees of merit
though every one concerned is ac-
ceptable. This Nancy Kelly looks
like one Of the best bets the cinema
has come upon recently, for she is
attractive, has a personality which
makes an impression and here dis
plays acting ability easily equal to
any Of the tasks given her If you
do not like her Immediately you're
crazy; or We are. Mr.. Greene is all
right. though none too impressive
and it is high time Mr.. Zanuck let
him grow a beard or gave him a
fright-wig or something.
Mr.. Bancroft is his usual vigorous
self vigorously, Preston Foster plays
naval lieutenant with integrity
and followers of Slim Summerville
John Carradine, Henry Armetta and
Warren Hymer will be glad to know
they are here.
There's just one warning that
should be made If you leave when
Mr.. Greene goes to dry-dock instead
of to his wedding you will be saved

1T is a KIND OF OlQ nome week CoHl-'

scribed by the family doctor than

THE Arkansas Traveller inclined
to be atmospheric rather than artful
as to story, introduces Bob Burns
as a solo star for the first time. He
demonstrates that he needs neither
a bazooka nor Martha Raye Tor are
those two synonymous? to carry
on very we'll in tale cut to mt his
homespun talents. In this one he
is a journeyman philosopher-hobo
to you-pausing to settle with dra-
matte simplicity the affairs OF a
woman publisher in a small town
where the politics are very ugly.
Before he has finished he not only
aas settled the difficulties of the
newspaper but has lifted the towns
political face 1t is a progression
of events that is handled with an
absence of pretentiousness that
makes it warm and nouriShlng
screen fare for all its plainness.
In making The Arkansas Trav-
elCl llClltol 1oIio itCill VA loo hAiASa
Mr.. Burns has the assistance of
number of effective players. Among
them are the ever reliable Fay Balm
ter. Irwin S. Cobb, John Beall, Jean
Parker and Porter Hall. Apart from
Miss Parker there is not an ounce
of glamour in carload of such
players. but its absence is something
for which to be grateful to Para
mount.
The characters which are ar
ranged so comfortably around Mr..
Burns in the picture are familiar
small town types. Miss Banter
plays the part of the widow of an
idealistic newspaperman. a woman
trying to keep the dead mans news
paper going and his children well
nourished. One of the children is
a daughter Miss Parker) who really
is in love with young Beall, the
crooked mayors very honest son,
but who thinks she might like the
creature comforts of marriage with
the towns political boss. Then
Evening star., 1938-11-12

there is the town constable, another
philosophic individual who injects
considerable humor into things be-
cause he is played by Mr. Cobb, who
has a way-of being very droll.
The remaining characters are
equally typical, even the worst OF
them having some redeeming charm,
which seems to be a quality of all
persons of nearness to the soil, at
least as they find their way into
motion pictures.
The climax Of THE Arkansas
Traveller" the recruiting of a hobo
army to build radio station just
in time to save the publishers
financial life, Is the most incredible
thing about it. BY the time it is
reached, however, the spirit of the
picture has so thoroughly absorbed
you that you are satisfied to have it
work out that way whether or not
it is reasonable.
Having no startling feature, un-
less it is Mr.. Burns without Martha
Raye or his bazooka, The Arkansas
Traveller" will prove pleasant enter
tainment for those who like simple,
unpretentious things. The Earle
probably will find out there are a
lot of such people before the films
run is ended
Don't think of Ted Lewis part of
the program as being old hat, al
though Mr.. Lewis still wears that
ancient (26 years old chapeau. He
answers his now famous question,
rs everybody happy?" by offering
a variety bill that is a neat mixture
of the old and new. His is band
that can turn from sweet to swing
without stripping a gear. 1t gets
around among the musical moods
without the smallest evidence OF
an arthritic twinge.
In putting together his revue Mr..
Lewis has corralled practically
everything. Tops is Snowfall
Whittier" who still acts very ef-
fectively as the boss shadow. The
comedy, satisfactory even if not sub
tie, is provided by Danny White,
whose pantomiming is an under
standing kind of thing and conse-
quently understandable without too
much straining
Dancing chores are handled with
grace and precision by the Gale
sextet, and the vocal balance,
apart from that OF the leathery
maestro, is dealt out by a lucious
quintet.
