Shirley Temple Film
Now at Columbia

Daryl Zanuck's saccharine queen,
little Shirley Temple, is spreading
her sweetness and light at the Co.
lumbia now, her latest, Just
Around the Corner" having moved
in there for its second F street
week. In all due fairness it must
be admitted that Shirley has been
given better script than many
she has had in the past, but, of
course, it has been many moons in
deed since Shirley did have script
that was worthy of her talents. To
be sure Just Around the Corner"
is not what you would call plausi-
BILE. even laughingly, but it does
give Shirley a role she can do we'll,
one she always has done well-in
fact, role which must be as IA
miliar to her as her particular brand
of breakfast food.
Just Around the Corner" can be
recommended, of course, to the
Shirley Temple fans. Those who
are not need be told only that Miss
Temple once more employs her en-
chanting personality for charm
ing irascible men out of their govt
and dyspepsia, interrupting this
only when the muse of the tap dance
comes upon her. There is some
comedy by Joan Davis. Bert Lair,
Cora Witherspoon and FRANKLIN
Pangborn and some romance by
Amanda Duff and Charles Eorrou

Trade Agreement

Final agreement on the United
States-Great Britain and United
States-Canada trade pacts features
the events filmed by newsreel
cameras now forming a part of the
Trans-Lux program. Among the
other clips devoted to affairs in this
country are those showing President
Roosevelt Inspecting Chickamauga
Dam, final stages of construction of
the Colorado River Tunnel, taking
over the Dollar Line by the Govern
ment and such contrasting matters
as Santa Claus, Ind, preparing for
the Christmas mail and the setting
OF Notwithstanding record.
Foreign shots include the burning
Of Canton, Chinese leaving Han
kow, shipping of five pandas to
London, discovery Of a new frozen
Arctic island. Lew Lehr makes a
few non-sensical comments con-
corning the ice-skating prowess Of
bear, the latest things in FASH
ions are shown and outstanding
football games of last weekend
snatch the usual large slice of news
footage.
Topping the shorts this week is
'The Brave Little Tailor" the

with the Ben Yost Varsity Goods, a

the electric chair, and with the
press looking for q sensation, Gag =
ney turns Yellow color which
harmonizes perfectly with his black
past even though it does not with
the heartless, vicious character he
has been.
There is humor as well as grim
ness in the unfolding of the story
of Angels With Dirty Faces" One
of the funniest things you have
seen in months is the sequence in
which Mr.. Cagney takes over as
referee of parish hall basket ball
game and teaches the kids that they
only think they are tough. In the
arts of gouging, seeking, kicking,
kneeing, ETC., he reveals a technique
that is so far beyond theirs that
they become discouraged into fair
play. That is the high light of the
Cagney course in etiquette for the
Dead Enders, but it is not the only
practical lesson he gives them.
Throughout the picture there are
innumerable touches which reveal
his toughness as vastly superior to
theirs.
The other characters in angels
With Dirty Faces" are rather stock
although we'll enough played. Ann
Sheridan is the girl, Humphrey b.
CART is q standard double crossing
racketeer. Mr.. O'Briens priest is
one of the best things he has done
lately, and the lesser parts are
played with the skill of long prac-
tice by the studios various cops
and robbers.
Harry Anger has provided Dead
End" background for a stage show
that is topped by sweet and swingy
Patricia Norman and nicely bal
anced in the other departments.
Miss Norman stops the show with
her vocal suite, which includes her
famous "OT Man Nose" interpreta-
ton. And she gets almost as much
applause when she turns to a couple
Of torch tunes.

If movie fans would be kind
enough to entertain the suggestion,
Gladys Swarthout, youthful, slim
and most attractive of the operate
stars, would like nothing quite so
much as to become one of their solid
favorites. She would quit concert
hall touring and the Metropolitan
Opera Co. She would devote herself
exclusively to motion picture acting.
She would promise, if necessary,
never again to raise her voice on
the screen.
Completing her last picture under
Paramount contract. calling for
$50 1000 each-this one frankly being
made on low budget, short shoot
ing schedule and pointing toward
the program-filler market - Miss
Swarthout suddenly finds herself
liking movie acting with an intensity
that would cause her to give up a
talent and a career she has been
training for since the age of IL.

Sausage Tree
(Kieglia pinnata)
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

by LILLIAN COA AAnE1.
Some one may well take this for a
giant "bolony" tree and exhibit it
at fair, claiming it is the ancestor
of the "hot-dog stand" We are
always on the alert to find out just
where and when the idea was born
of some of our profitable roadside
activities of the present time. Nat
urally such spectacle might have
given us start.
Because of its resemblance to the
very popular sausage, this unusual
native of the tropics is source OF
interest and wonderment to all who
have seen any members of it.
This tree, coming from land
where sunshine, rainfall and sum-
mer occur the whole year round,
has found spot In America where
these requirements can be approx
mated. South of Miami on one of
the narrow byroads you may find a
flourishing example of the native OF
South Africa. How did this tree get
in this special location? There are
many weird trees in Florida, and
as the climate is so genial and much
of the time very tropical in its
weather and moisture where the
jungles have not been cleared, con-
ditions are ideal for beautiful
growths as well as unusual ones.
The age of this tree is not known.
When you ask those who have seen
it, all kinds of guesses are given.
Trips from nearby towns are made
by automobiles for the express pur-
pose Of seeing the sausage tree and
cameras are taken along to prove
it is there.
The tree is in q hourishing condi-
ton and is almost 40 feet high and
has many heavy spreading branches.
The bark on the trunk Is rough and
very hard.
The flowers are beautiful, arriving
about the first of July or the latter
part Of June. They are irregularly
bell-shaped, over inches in length
and colored a deep reddish maroon.
There may be as many as six or
even ten on a very long pendulous
racine. Their form at once reveals
their kinship with the trumpet
creeper family. The insects come
in great numbers to crawl inside the
deep-throsted bells, where there is
to be found an abundance Of food.
The beautiful glossy leaves are
compound and are composed Of seven

fresh touches. Then there are Vir-
ginia Bruce and Fredric March to
play the leads in sufficiently spright-
ly style and Patsy Kelly to keep
banging away with her foolishment,
so it all adds up to an amusing
enough cinema.
There probably Is considerable
credit due these people just men,
toned, as a matter of fact, for it
takes a lot of doing to bring any
degree of effulgence to a yarn as
furnished with age as is this one
There is bound to be dreariness in
the heart at the outset when you
come upon the story Of the reporter
who is sent to interview the beaute-
GUS and headstrong heiress to an in
credible number of millions. Right
away the immediate future is vista
known to you as we'll as is the past.
You fear Immediately that history
is going to repeat itself; that the
reporter is going to write disparag-
ing words, which get into print
under his name after he falls in
love with the lass and she with him;
that their great misunderstanding
will last not quite so long as the
celluloid in the projection machine.
And There Goes My Heart" justifies
all those fears.
Happily, however, Mr.. March does
not libel the newspaper profession.
He gives the editor orders, of course,
and he keeps his hat on in the
Office, but then, there are some
newspaper shops where the boys
never take off their hats and coats
until the boss is gone for the day.
Anyhow no one in the business can
feel insulted by Mr.. MARGINS i'm
personation of reporter. He is
just a likable chap caught up by
two none too good stories-one the
one he is supposed to be working
on and the other the one he is
working in.
Miss Bruce also serves the tale
nicely, giving it support that eases
many of it's arthritic joints. Hers
is a most agreeable portrait of a
lass with much too much money,
and she makes it quite believable
that she would be happiest just
having a poor but honest reporters
slippers by the easy chair every
night. Miss Kelly. too, counts for
considerable fun. her best moment
being one where she becomes in
volved with a vibrating machine
And the script writers, Eddie Moran
and Jack Jevne, have had much to
do with making tale that's

sugar coating of bright dialogue in

toughness, here's their picture. Mr..
Cagney gives them the larruping of
a lifetime, one that administered
earlier might have prevented their
story from becoming so enduringly
fascinating to the movie-going
public.
An exciting affair the meeting
turns out to be, however, in spite
Of the fact that the script writer's
had to strain pretty hard to find
fresh twists for the story. How well
they succeeded, with lot of artful
cooperation on the part of Director
Michael Curtiz, is something to be
judged on the basis of individual
credulity. If yours is the kind that
will not be stretched to the breaking
point by Mr.. Cagney's sudden sane
LITIGATION in the last few feet of the
film, the picture will be fine for you.
Otherwise, you are likely to be left
with feeling of having been done
wrong Maybe acceptance of the
ending is what the title is intended
to achieve, namely conviction that
Mr.. Cagney was an angel all the
time, but one whose face was dirty.
If the major function of motion
picture is to move, and that is what
a lot of experts think, this one is
virtually perfect. Its action is
cyclonic from the opening when Mr..
Cagney is shown in his first INSIDE
meanor, the robbery of box car,
until he ends up in an electric chair.
The story makes him master crimi-
nal, with the usual intimations that
he is largely the victim of circum-
stance. That is implied in his asso-
citation with priest, played by Pat
O'Brien, who tries unavailingly to
save him after his first stretch sin
