Gail Patrick
Is MET" Star

Dangerous to Know" the
feature attraction at the Metro
politan this week, is aptly titled
for it records the exploits of
one of gangland's most notori-
Gus citizens who strives to crack
the shell of a conservative So
cial world to which he has no
right.
This is the story OF one Steve
Recka, hard in his dealings with
power, soft in his dealings with
beauty; Steve saw himself as
the Napoleon of the modern
world, powerful, feared, loved,
hated, with knowledge of the
Napoleonic defeat as his safe
guard; men are funny; they
make love to a woman, make a
woman love them and then
have the presumption to expect
a woman to think them right,
above reproach, in their ques-
tionable transactions. Such a
man was Steve Recka who
found that a quick-thinking de-
tective was more than a match
for him in his one moment
when he stood unguarded by
the woman who had been true
to him through all mis- up-and-
down life.
Akin Tamiroff whose best
work has been done before this
present film-play over-drama-
tizeS the role which is a bit
dog-eared with much handling;
Anna May Wong is the faith
ful one and Gail Patrick the
one desired; Lloyd Nolan and
Roscoe Karns play straight dra-
matte roles with Karns putting
the light touch in an otherwise
heavy piece.
A colorful revuette, in Tech
nicolor, in which we witness
the remaking of a Hollywood
beauty, a Floyd Gibbons adven.
ture story from life, and a
newsreel with all the highlights
OF current events picturized,
complete the program.-K. Y.

Anna NeoqIe
BeIOsCo Star

Look Out For Love" pre-
viewed at the late evening per-
formance, Friday, at the Belasco
Theater is an engaging film.
Anna Neagle, seen not long ago
in that picture Of the late Queen
Victoria, gives an even more
versatile portrayal as a young
singer.
A combination love interest
and musical production Of the
usual Cinderella variety Is
brought to the screen by the
Gaumont- British company. The
English do not have the lifting,
vibrant characteristics which
are a part Of any Hollywood
extravaganza. They have how
ever bound up a parcel in the
Look Out For Love" which
more nearly approximates the
American film Of similar type.
Miss Neagle Is q refreshing
person, not beautiful but pos
sessing great charm and a
facility for facial expression and
quick movement which makes
her acting most interesting.
Added to this she is a dancer Of
distinction and dominates the
two musical numbers, 'The Ewes
Of the World Are On You" and
Jingle Of the Jungle"
Tullio Carminati is very seri-
GUS as the gentleman who
finances the dancer through the
help of Father Donnelly. The
priest is well essayed by Horace
Hodges. Robert Douglas as
Nigel is the other man and q
rather pleasant change from
the American type.
A synchronized color cartoon,
"Who Killed Cock Robin" is
better than most and with
Movietone news rounds out an
engaging entertainment.

one of his feats is to steal the

from under the very nostrils Of
Gary Cooper. Yes, Basil Rath-
bone can play these sinister
mortals. Give him a flock OF

woe betide his foes.
The real swashbuckle, blood
and thunder arrives when Mar
co saves Kublai Khan's throne
from the Scheming Ahmed, and
Princess Kukachin for himself.

MICKEY AS JITTERBUG
Meeting Dennis O'Keefe at a
Swank cocktail party where she
has gone to deliver a dress and
where he has been sent by his
boss to deliver some steamship
tickets, they mistake each other
for members Of the upper crust.
Falling for one another like
1000 pounds Of bricks, they are
forced to keep UP their pretense
Of high-rank in both the social
and cash registers.
Despite some rough going the
pair eventually attain their OBJ
jective-a great big union for
two-but not before Mickey
Rooney has gotten in some hot
lickS on the clarinet and q st.
Bernard introduced who is the
largest thing since King Kong.
On the vaudeville platform,
Sammy Kaye proffers a most
pleasant program of orchestral
selections, some old, some new.
His vocalistS, Tommy Ryan and
the Three BaronS interpolats
several swingy rondelays which
are well executed.
Where Have We Met Be
FORE" Blue Heaven" Coffee
and Kisses" "Still Of the
Night" lone Rose" and an
Hawaiian medley kept the gal
lery gods in a fever Of excite
ment and rhythmania.

When he plays the swing
equivalent of Martha" Sammy
learns what any theater man.
ager in the land will attest
that the public has gone swing
crazy. AS they say in the pub
lic-relations department, the
applause was deafening.
The blonde Crane Sisters are
twins, trim, talented and terrific.
Rhythm dancing is their forte
and their feather footednesS
doesn't leave much to be said.

Vaudeville's traditional three
A's-animal acts and acrobats-

nonsense, and Robert Williams
and his dog Red Dust, the
most intelligent animal we have
seen since w. C. Fields sold his
talking canine to the bartender

New Program
At 7 rQns-Lux

The Trans-Lux brings news of
current interest from far and
near. The Japanese running
their big buses with charcoal
burners, the English enlisted
men parading before Queen
Mary, the "Preakness" run in
the pourdown at Pimlico last
Saturday, are but a suggestion
as to the scope.
Our Gang" makes an ap-
pearance in a short comedy
which turns out to be mildly
amusing, while the Duck builds
a mail-order boat, which intro.
duces a lighter note to the
program.
These new bathing suits of
bright colored rubber, which
are now the vogue at the
beaches, pools and which are
intriguing in a fashion SHOW,
are also shown in the making.
The exactness and effort which
is expended in accomplishing a
lastex suit makes an unusually
fascinating study.
Topping the sports, an excit-
ing race from Albany to New
York for the Hearst Trophy,
and a sailboat contest from
Miami to Nassau, put the water
entries well in the linelight,
summing up to a timely resume.

Five Acts Hit

five acts for the Earle stage

them into a Smooth-flowing

pany the screen showing Of
Robin Hood" Friday audiences
demonstrated with enthusiasm
their appreciation of a top-flight
bill. Robin Hood" was re-
viewed here yesterday.
Among the applause winners
were the Brown Twins, with a
twopiano version of Dark
Eyes; Carole Manners, whose
soprano showed to advantage in
"Ti-P-Tin" and other numbers,
and Bob Dupont, favorite jug.
gler, who all but stopped the
show in his first appearance. A
master Of timing, Dupont's turn
combines feats Of skill with real
comedy.
The Albertina Rasch Ballet
and let 1t be known that they
are ballet dancers and not line
girls-offer two very attractive
numbers, peasant dance and a
toe number. Both registered well.
The girls returned to add to the
picture Anger has staged for the
finale. Dressed in costumes Of
the Robin Hood period, the girls
provide an effective background
for the Bartell and Hurst adagio
foursome, in which the male per-
formers are garbed in Robin
Hood jackets.
Since archery is in the air
this week, the Earle's stage show
may be described as another hit

His name is not signed to 1t, but
