"Up the River" Keith Feature,

''Up the River" now doing a
stretch at RKO Keith's, is an
hilariously amusing piece in
which prison life is glorified no
end and a football squad featur-
ing numbers, not names, give
their all for dear old Rockwell.
Now, lads and lasSies, don't
confuse Rockwell with Yale or

rather tie it. in with Sing

It seems that there were a
couple of smart, chaps who
found the world an easy mark
for their cleverneSs; they were
adept at selling the Panama
Canal, leasing the toll conceS-
sion of the Hudson tunnel and
little items like that; smart
with the cards, also; they were
a perfect team with a system of
moves which baffled the police

So there is near tragedy when

Roy's Demons

of Floyd Ray and his Demons,
a band Of sepia horn tooters and
trumpes blowers who really go
to town. They opened at the
Howard yesterday and the re-
verberations are still heard
around T Street and vicinity.
Floyd Ray is new in the East,
although he was rated Cali

fine heated arrangements, and
the maestro has surrounded
himself with good specialities.
Among them are: Joe Alex

"Cheot" Held

"Story Of a Cheat" will bO

For some foreign pictures,
where speech is not essential to
understanding, awkward trans.
lation does not greatly detract.
But Sacha Guitry's "The Story

stamp.
More than an actor, more
than a director, Guitry is an art
iSt who works delicately with
words as well as gestures, de-
pending for much of his effect
on subtle innuendo, on comic
nuanceS of meaning, though not
neglecting at the same time
those basic and universal quail.

GOING PLACES AT EARLE
Dick Powell and Anito Louise
In Comedy With Music
On the Earle Screen

"Going Places" the comedy
which features the festive holi-
day bill at the Earle, is a stream
lined 1889 version Of "The Hot
tentot," which many movie
goers will recall.
Dick Powell is cast in the role
Edward Everett Horton made
famous, with lovely Anita Louise
as the reason why he becomes a
jockey in the Maryland Steeple-
chase. The film reaches its eli
max of fun and thrills in this
stirring race, which Powell wins,
of course, after a wild ride
aStride a spirited thoroughbred.
"JEEPERS CREEPERS"
"Going Places" not only con-
tains the humor of "The Hot
tentot," but also provides enter
tainment Of a type unknown in
the days of the original release.
"Satchelmouth" Armstrong and
Maxine "Loch Lomond" Sulli-
van are instrumental in keep
ing the picture paced to a swing
tempo.
"Jeepers Creepers," which
you can hear on any radio pro-
gram at the moment, is by way
Of being the hit tune of this
sprightly production as inter-
preted by Armstrong with his
trumpet and also by Jockey
Powell, the melody seems to
have a soothing effect on his
horse.
More original is "Mutiny in
the Nursery" in which most Of
the cast sing a lyric or two, and
in which all Of the old favorite
nursery rhymes are dressed up
in swing. The third tune Is
"Say It With a Kiss"
OTHERS IN CAST
In addition to Dick Powell,
who handles his role with his
usual ease and Anita Louise, the
cast of "C7oing Places" includes
Allen jenkins, Ronald Reagan,
Walter Catlett, Harold Huber,
Thurston Hall and Minna Com
bell.
"Going Places" Is light, laugh
filled entertainment, that fits
the holiday spirit to a T.
Velvety smooth are the stream
lined waltzes and graceful rou-
tines of Holland and Hart,
dancing headliners. Freddy
Dosh gets away from the con-
ventional in his clever group OF
limitations. They range from a
subway to an airport, which
gives an idea Of the novelty.
Harry Savoy dresses up his
line Of jokes with q smooth de-
livery, makes much Of a song
medley built for comedy pur-
poses. The team of Lowe, Hite
and Stanley is stepping up,
meaning it continues to grow in
entertainment stature, with all
sizes of laughs. Frank Hornaday,
called a Harry Anger "discov-
ery," proves to be a good micro
phone vocalist. The Roxyettes,
as usual, present three good
numbers.
