Film Outlook
Is Bright
Next Week
Crawford Picture
And Musical
Coming.

TINE mid-January film situation
around this village looks ex-
tremely encouraging At least
two Of the new pictures due
Friday are preceded by praise. which
il not exactly ecstatic, at least Is
glowing.
One OF these is "Mannequin," the
new Joan Crawford vehicle. slated to
follow THE Hurricane" at Loew's
Palace. For some time now the
Crawford box Office draw, despite the
Joan Crawford Fan Club, whose mem
bers worship their goddess with aban-
doned and fanatic fervor, has been
waning, due entirely to the fact that
some Of her roles have not fit her any
better than would Primo Cameras
shoes.
Now, however. the M-G-M studio, or
mayhap Joan herself, for she Is re-
ported to have a word in choosing the
parts she attempts, has wised up to the
fact that Miss Crawford is q motion
picture personality more than she is
an actress. She can do some things
In the cinema extremely well, but on
the other hand there are a number
Of things she cannot do. She, for
instance. would no doubt like to
forget THE Bride Wore Red" as
quickly as possible
But "Mannequin," all the advance
reports would have you know, gives
Miss Crawford role much the same
as those on which she rose to popu-
larity. She Is cast again as the lowly
girl from the tenements, who rises
above her environment, and it is more
than just likely that she will re-
establish herself In that portion Of the
public favor from which she has
fallen. She probably has been kept
on her mettle while making Name
quin." too. for her leading man is
Spencer Tracy. one of Hollywoods
finest.
The other forthcoming film which
rides into town behind q wave of praise
from out Of town is Hollywood
Hotel" the new Dick Powell musical,
which comes to the Earle Friday. In
addition to Mr.. Powell it has Rose
mary Lane. We could consider that
sufficient recommendation and stop
right now except that some mention
should be made Of the musical score
Gncluding I'm Like a Fish Out of
Water" and "Silhouetted in the Moon
light'D and the presence OF Frances
Langford and the orchestras of Mr..
Benjamin Goodman and Raymond
Paige.
The Earle's stage bill to accompany
Hollywood Hotel" further dedicates
the Thirteenth street situation to the
cinema town, being headlined by
Comic Benny Baker Of the film fac
tories.
