IT TITLE MISS BROADWAY" q

II TITLE MISS BROADWAY" a
lively piece starring Shirley
Temple, which probably all too many
persons missed when it ran only a

second stand on r street yesterday at
the Columbia. Despite the fact that
it Is a picture which surrounds Miss
Temple with lot Of long-established
clowns, the emphasis is entirely laid
upon the star, who sings, dances and
acts better than before. Undoubtedly
there will be a minority who will think
that Jimmy Durante, George Murphy

submerged by the writing and editing
OF the script of Little Miss Broad
way" but they will be dismissed by
the masses merely as funny people.
Her latest vehicle introduces Shirley
in the role Of angel to bunch of run

formers huddled against the storm OF
life in a theatrical hotel. That ar
rangement gives Director Irving Cum
mings an opportunity to present a
great many specially people in their
specialties, Mr. Durante as leader of

ented hoofer, etc. 1t also is ideally
suited to the introduction of Shirley
as a maturing tot who has picked up
some new tricks of singing and dane
ing, not to mention softening the heart
Of the stony old lady who owns the
hotel and hates its inmates.

Andy Hardy Picture
Hits New Level
Of Family Tale.
r Owe FINDS ANDY HARDY"
family serial picture which
turned out to be one Of the

- seasons brightest comedies
entered its second week at the Palace
yesterday. 1t represents Hollywood'a
discovery that there is something ex-
tremely human and humorous to be
found in adolescent love and it seri-
ously is to be questioned that Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer missed a single one OF
its comic values.
Love Finds Andy Hardy is a pic
ture that was bound to put young
Mickey Rooney not lower than second
place in the standing of screen juve-
niles. 1t introduces him as an har-
assed youngster, alternately bounding
and cropping his way through COM
plication of romance that eventually
involves at least three girls. It is fun
for the audience every step of the way,
regardless of what it Is for the con-
fused Mickey
BY making Judy Garland one of the
three girls the producers Of the picture
injected a pleasant element of music;
q note at its most pleasant when Miss
Garland wanders into a philosophical
number dealing with the tribulations
Of little girls too old for toys, too
young for boys"
The other Hardys, headed by the
always excellent Lewis Stone, Faye
Holden and the lovely Cecilia Parker,
are there to do their bits for the cause
Of the family film which achieves q
new stature in this case. J,C.

Walt Disney to Sell
Original Art for
"SnOw White. +"

The Walt Disney studios have signed
contract with the Courvoisier Art
Galleries Of San Francisco for the
worldwide distribution of original art
work not only from Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs" but from future
Disney feature productions and short
subjects as well.
The pictures, mounted by Disney
artists especially for this commercial
distribution. consist Of the painted
celluloids which are photographed to
create the finished productions.
Although approximately 475,000
paintings were photographed to create
the feature-length Snow White" only
some 1000 Of them will be put on
sale, as only the most suitable were
selected and the others DESTROYED.
Those destroyed were, in general, parts
Of action sequences where the figures
did not show up to advantage when
viewed as separate units.
Through the Courvoisier Galleries,
these originals will be distributed to
one outstanding art gallery in each
principal city in the world.
The studios entered into the con-
tract because Of the overwhelming de-
mand for the celluloids not only from
the general public, but from museums
and art collectors as well.
Present plans call for them to 60
on sale In September.
Future art work to be placed on sale
will include original paintings from
''Pinocchio" and "Bamhl," the next
two Disney full-lsngth productions.

Prize Movie
Of 1934Still
Funny
1t Happened One
Night Is Back
At Met.
By CHRIS MATHISEN.


THE motion picture that won
more of those coveted little
statuettes known as Academy
L Awards than any other item
to come out Of Hollywood Is back in
town. This particular motion picture
is 1T Happened One Night" and it
is being shown at the Metropolitan.
It was only few years ago that peo-
pie would say, Lets 60 see 1T Hap
pened One Night" instead of Lets
go to the movies" That was because
the film just stayed, and stayed and
stayed. That performance is enough
to cause any unfortunates who did
not see it to hurry to the Met For
the thousands who saw their duty in
1884, however. it should be reported
that the prize baby is in excellent
health, could snatch another batch Of
Oscars" if the rules didn't prevent.
This story of the rich young girl
trying to get to her husband with the
aid of a newspaper reporter and in
spite of her fathers detective force
and love of blossoming on an inter-
state bus and in tourist camp cabins
remains one Of the most consistently
amusing things to be brought to the
screen. Claudette Colbert and Clark
Gable combine in the most entertain
ing of heckling performances, of
course, there is the peerless direction
OF Frank Capra.
All those funny sequences are just
as funny as ever-the cooperation
that foiled two of papa's operatives,
Mr.. Gable posing as a gangster to
frighten Roscoe Karns into silence
after the latter has discovered Claud-
cites identity, Father Walter Con-
nolly's cigar-pufing, the demonstra-
ton Of unsuccessful and successful
hitch-hiking techniques, a bushel OF
others. TT Happened One Night
stands up; it still is excellent cellu-
loid. The treatment of q long, rocky
trail to happiness retains its power
to hold an audience most pleasantly
"must-see" again.

up into large hunks of laughter. A
great deal of the material which Mr..
Lloyd has strung together Is time
worn, or at best only half forgotten,
but the spirit with which it is han
died is a happy one.
Mr.. Lloyd, who ranks with the great
among dead-pan comics. starts slowly
In his new picture, but he still has
capacity for breakneck speed at the
wind-up. With large cast working
with him to the furious finish he
leaves you with very pleasant feel
ing toward q great many devices in
Aim humor which might be rated as
venerable.
On the stage is another nice prod
uct of Hollywood in the person Of
Frances Langford, who can make a
torch song tug at the heart as no one
else in cinema land and who enlivens
her personal appearance by dragging
New Husband Jon Hall from the wings
before her final number. Mr. Hall, you
will remember, was the much-abused
native hero Of THE Hurricane"
Professor Beware" goes back to the
old-chase situation for its fundamental
idea. It starts with the pursuit of a
superstitious Egyptologist (Mr. Lloyd
by a beautiful heiress phyllis Welch)
and before 1t ends the two of them
have been pursued madly by every
thing in the universe except a flock
of furious doves. Just to give you a
rough idea of the things that chase
the terrified professor let it be said
that in addition to the usual irate
father, sheriffs, motorcycle policemen
and railroad detectives, the list in
cludes sign painters. bootblacks, truck
drivers, sailors, lawyers, dock loafers,
longshoremen, etc. In hands less
skilled than those of Prof. Lloyd this
marathon might be one filled with
stock turnings, but after the picture
reaches the halfway mark, the entire
route seems new. Where the script,
by Delmar Dawes, has failed to be in
ventive the Lloyd technique has made
much Of the comic situation fresh.
The doleful looking Lloyd, who in
his career of turning worm has
thought up more humiliations for his
type of actor than any other indi-
vidual, has enjoyed the rich co-opera-
tion Of Paramount in surrounding
himself with talented supporting
cast. Topping it is Phyllis Welch, who

feel very good about it indeed when
the revolutionist Is sent back where
he came from and told that his party
can't help him get In the United
States, that I'VE may send the party
back to join you any day."
All of this Is of interest to those
who want the screen to free itself
from some of its shackles, for the in
clusion Of these and few other top
ical incidents Of their kind in "Gate-
way" seems step-a tentative baby
step maybe-but still step in the
right direction. The difficulty in the
case Of the current picture Is that a
dull and stupid and inconsequential
tale becomes the more dull and stupid
and inconsequential in comparison
with the vital background upon which
1t Is superimposed.
Gateway" is the story Of little
Irish immigrant girl (Arleen Whelan)
who gets into difficulties on the boat
and Is refused admittance until she
finally agrees to wed the reporter who
got her into all the trouble in the
first place. Don Ameche plays the
reporter, a war correspondent who Is
so sick unto death Of wars that he
loses his heart Immediately upon
seeing Miss Whelan's pretty face and
must marry with her, so maybe "Gate-
way" Is an indictment of war, too Mr..
Ameche (look who's defending him
now deserves better things. Miss
Whelan, that sterling actress, has
risen not one whit in dramatic stature,
1t must be reported, since kidnapped"
and If you saw that you know what
We mean. In fact the only bright
thing about the boy-meets-girl por-
ton Of Gateway" is that it has a part
which fits Binnie Barnes like one OF
her Sleekest gowns and which she
plays with all the verve of one of her
hats.
