Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AvERILL

Raleigh, Aug. 19-At least one aft
ernoon's program at the North Car
DINA State Fair here will be thrill
ing and worth travelling almost any
distance to see, your correspondent is
willing to stake his reputation as
prophet and judge of good entertain
ment.
Manager j. S. Dorton has announc-
ed that Luck Teter and his He'll Driv-
ers will again do their stuff on the
track at the fair grounds. He didn't
say which afternoon of the October
Ills Fair Week will be set aside for
the Teterers, but whatever afternoon
it is, will be the best time to go.
All this is unsolicited praise for
Lucky and also unsolicited advice for
readers, if any, of this piece; and the
only excuse offered is that your cor
respondent saw the He'll Drivers last
wear and will let nothing short of
cyclone or an earthquake keep him
from going to see them again.
AS for the rest of the fair enter
tainment program, which Louis H.
Wilson, of the Department of Agri-
culture has already begun to bally-
hoo as sparkling, brilliant, outstand-
ing, daring, spine-tingling, breath
taking, attractive" and what have you
this deponent sayeth not.
There ought to be real enforcement
of the laws against some of the stuff
that was permitted on the Midway
last year-shows which were foul to
the point of downright disgusting OBJ
scenity.
But Dorton has announced a new
carnival-the Johnny j. Jones Elk
position-for this year, and perhaps it
will be different.
"The shortage of workers being re-
ported from many sections of the
State gives little credence to the gen
orally accepted plea that July and
August are dull months from the
standpoint of employment" says the
North Carolina State Employment
Service News.
Department of Conservation and
Development officials declare that
completion of a chain of State parks
from Cape Hatteras to the top of Mt.

Pilots Find War
Not Profitable.

WILLIAM A. WELLMAN, producer
director of Paramount's aviation
film, Men With Wings" now in pro-
duction at Metropolitan Airport, Van
Nuys, Calf, has received more than
a score of letters from pilots who
have signed to fight in China and
Spain, have found conditions highly
unsatisfactory and want to come home
to fly in motion pictures. They ask
for work as technical advisors, pilots
and mechanics.
Wellman said:
'These ex-patriates-soldiers of for
tune who have joined foreign forces
report that the deals they have made
have not been respected in any way.
"The pilots I am employing in
Men With Wings constantly are re-
ceiving similar offers, and I've had to
place my men under contract for the
duration of the picture to keep them
from flying away"
Wellman says that while the foreign
offers call for a cash payment of
$1,000, transportation, 1900 month
for flying and $1,000 bonus for each
plane brought down. the Americans
fighting on the other side report sal
aries ranging from $40 to 500
month. poor quarters, infrequent and
unsatisfactory meals, rundown equip
ment and no bonuses.
Wellman has 20 pilots under con-
tract, including Frank Clarke, Tex
Rankin, Howard Bait, Jerry Andrews,
Stanley Hicks, Walt Quinton, Herb
White, Ace Brugunier and Jerry
Phillips.

'Mayerling' Stays
At the BelaScO.

THE story of love that transcended
L all things continues to draw the
customers in droves to the Belasco
Theater, where the French film, MAY
erling," is well along into its second
week. It is an impelling love story
the French have woven about the
Rudolph of Hapsburg whose life ended
upon a tragic note because he was q
Hapsburg and could not marry the
girl of his choice. And it fairly leaps
to life on the screen under the minis
trations of Charles Boyer and Danielle
Darrieux. Boyer contributes one Of
the finest cinema characterizations he
ever has done in his portrait of the
prince who rebelled at being prince,
who did q good job of wrecking his
life until he met the little baroness
who could have made new man Of
him, who decided there was only one
way out when the crown made 1t ap-
parent he must forever forsake the
girl he loved. And Miss Darrieux, a
lovely lass who since has been i'm
ported by Hollywood, makes the bar
oness an appealing young lady. one
who easily could have been the center
Of the famed Mayerling mystery.
The makers Of the French picture
have chosen to ignore political motives
in their telling Of the story. Rudolph

'Follies' Stays
Second Week
At Palace
Goldwyn Film Full
Of Stars, Lavish
In Production.

IF MIR. GOODWIN was kidding
anybody with THE Goldwyn Fol-
lies" he took a long time about
doing it, The picture at the Pal
ace this week, second week it may
be said, runs on rather indefinitely,
trampling the gamut of extravaganza
to pulp. Pictorially handsome in its
technicolor trimmings, this produc-
ton Is merely too much of a good
thing. 1t has ballet, opera, vaudeville,
comedians, sembiance of plot, some
of the old backstage glamour that
Hollywood so loves to daub on with
tear-stained brush.
In the cast will be found everybody
except the Goldwyn publicity depart
ment. which was hiding just around
the corner waiting to loose barrage
of ballyhoo. Most deserving Of tall
adJectlves are Zorina, ballerina who
also has sense of comedy: Andrea
Leeds, who is taking up the long and
sugary smile where Janet Gaynor left
off: Helen Jepson, whose voice and
manner make the operatic scenes some
OF the best ever filmed.
This may or may not be a coinci-
dence, but the straight man. the fall
guy. in the picture is named Oliver
emotion picture producer, played by
Adolphe Menjou, which seems to be
the pet name for that role in every
recent technicolor picture. Note "A
Star Is Born" Nothing Sacred" now
the "Follies." Can't say that the point
proves anything. but there it is.
Ballets in the production are danced
by zorina with members of the Amer
ican Ballet Of New York. They are
beautifully staged and executed, but
lose some of their effect for reasons
too complicated to explore at this
time. Some day producers and direc-
tors will be persuaded to see the dance
as slightly different medium from
the drama or the cinema. and will
content themselves with photograph
ing it as it is. The form does not
seem to be adaptable to other treat
ment.
Comics in the musical are Charlie
Mccarthy and Edgar Bergen, Bobby
Clark, Phil Baker, the three Ritz
brothers. Charlie is in excellent form.
Clark hasn't much to do, Phil Baker
sells himself nicely in his first i'm
portant film role and the Ritz brothers
are funny as Russians and mermaids.
The rest Of the time they are only
noisy. R.B.P, Jr.

Sonia Henie Film
Now at Columbia.
Nov for third week Sonia Henie's

NOW for a third week Sonia Henie's
skates flash on the F street cinema
horizon, her Happy Landing" having
followed its fortnight at the Palace
with current week at Loew's Colum-
bia. It's q film right in the same
groove as the champion figure skaters
earlier efforts, q diverting piece, with
story which Is neither too original
nor too taxing upon the mind, with
plenty OF humor and plenty Of oppor-
tunity for Miss Henie to display her
particular talents on a pair Of keen
blades.
The story has to do with q young
Norwegian lass who falls in love with
a band leader, then takes some seven
reels Of celluloid to discover she is
really in love with his manager. The
humor is provided by a number Of
people, and is sprinkled rather gen.
erously about, the best of it being
Mr. Billy Gilbert's moment in a ham
burger stand. The opportunities for
Miss Henie to skate are rather plenti-
full, too, and once again she is per-
mitted to get out on slab Of ice all
alone. which is where she really
shines. H. M.

Robinson Plays
His Coolest at
Metropolitan.

In short subject that was sup
posed to lure people into seeing "A
Slight Case of Murder" Edward G
Robinson remarked that he had
played the piece for nothing, or prac-
tically nothing. He did, like fudge
(our own word for very hot place.
He played it for all the fun that
could be found in Damon Runyon
story, Howard Lindsay being the
ghost in the playwrighting end, swell
cast and one of the coolest, funniest
comedies that has been seen at the
Metropolitan Theater since THE Aw-
full Truth played out its week ends
there.
Nothing sensational about this
number. A few gangsters get shot in
the Saratoga house of an ex-beer
baron who had decided to go high So
ciety Well, of course, few stiffs
around the house were never sup
posed to be embarrassing to our lead
ers in the noble experiment, but they
happen to be here. Allen Jenkins
Edward Brophy and Jane Bryan help
along in their small way, and whoever
the chap is that was cast as the State
policeman should be awarded medal.
This is not a movie you will regret
seeing, and if you don't enjoy it, tele-
phone your specialist. You must have
forgotten what funny things hap
pened in the last 20 years.

Newsreels Feature
European Scene.

HE newsreel cameras being used
by European representatives should
require bit of oiling and adjusting
by now, for they have been working
overtime to capture the most INTEL
ligible picture of the swiftly moving
events on the Continent. The ANAL
gamated footage currently being shown
at the Trans-Lux proves that they
have fulfilled their mission capably.
Among the "clips" are those devoted
to the Lithuanian capitulation to
Poland, Gen. Frances claims of COM
plete victory in Spain. Reichfuhrer
Hitler's statement of policy in regard
to German nationals, Chancellor
Schuschnigg's efforts to preserve Aus
trian independence, German troops
crossing the Danube, hurried sessions
OF the British and French cabinets.
Other interesting shots from home
and abroad include views Of George
Bernard Shaw at 81, Cardinal Hayes
plea for peace, King George Of Eng
land riding in his grandfather's auto
mobile, former President Hoover in
Poland, the Chinese bombing of
Formosa, President Roosevelt speak
ing against "isms." making of choco-
late 1Abbits for Easter, the Kentucky
Derby favorites, Tommy Farr and
girl friend, latest fashions from Paris,
the Capitals cherry blossoms.
Short subjects are particularly en-
tertaining this week. Travel is repre-
sented by a color study Of Malayan
jungles and their inhabitants; early
American tombstone inscriptions are
presented in an oddities" reel;

COUNT BERNI VICI'S Spices of
1898" Is lavish and fast-moving
stage revue; that is, it should be fast
moving by now, after Capitol Manager
Charlie Kurtzman has done with his
pruning. At yesterdays first show the

trick lighting effects and all sorts of
novelties.

tertaining acts in vaudeville than the

1t, "Jezebel" up to certain point is
charming entertainment. That point
happens to be the climax in which
Miss Davis. as Julie, turns softie on
our highest ideals for her. It rather
let's the whole thing down, but not
seriously enough to keep any curious
customer from seeing how close
Warner Bros. came to making picture
that looks like Gone With the Wind"
travelling under an alias. And with
somewhat false whiskers, so to speak.
"Jezebel," from the play written by
the elder Owen Davis, is much more
than a practical joke played by the
Warmers on David o. Selznick, the
latter the chap who has staked an
unworked claim to the South of the
same period. AS its name implies, it
Is the tale of girl with drawl and
an arrogant way, girl who wants
her own way and is none too scrupu-
lous in her choice of method. If that
sounds like Scarlet OHara, then it
sounds like Scarlett O'Hara, but this
girls name still is Julie.
Miss Bette Davis who can act bit
beyond the limit of any script given
to her, makes no exception of the role
of the vixen Julie. In New Orleans,
her home town where women are sup
posed to be women, she turns out to
be heartless, beWitching, go-getting
female. Against a background of
chivalry, honor, hospitality and the
yellow fever epidemic of 1852. the
latter of which is mighty drar.a1ic
stuff as Director William Wyler has
handled it, Julie goes her ungallant
way. But, like Scarlett OHara (of
whom We could say before her" if
Mr.. Selznick had not daWdled), she
does not have her way entirely. The
idyllic love of her life, chap strangely
like the fine, upright Ashley Wilkes
played by Henry Fonda, deserts her
to become the husband of Amy MAR
garet Lindsay who is strangely like
the lovely Melanie of Gone With the
Wind
The climax of the drama, which is
the part we did not like because it
turned Julie suddenly into sissy when
there was nothing to indicate that
such a thing could happen. occurs
when Fonda falls victim to the yellow
fever. Humbly then, beaten by a
faltering, loving heart. Julie who has
been the essence of determined life,
wants only to go to the quarantine
camp, nurse her lost love and die with
him if that should be necessary. The
script will not le Miss Davis be as
strong as she might have been even
