Oracle Fields
In Vigorous
We're Going to Be
Rich Opens at
Columbia.

7 T is vigorous and roistering pic
ture the British have sent over to
give American audiences their
first glimpse Of Great Britain's
Miss Oracle Fields. Miss Fields, it
turns out, is much more than just the
topnotch comedienne the English have
considered her for so long, here turn
ing her talents to straight drama with
more than few undertones of tragedy
and doing everything she has to do
exceedingly we'll.
We're Going to Be Rich" the new
tenant at Loew's Columbia. set in the
days Of gold in South Africa in the
1880s. tells vigorous and rough-and-
ready tale OF an entertainer whose
worthless husband continually invested
her money not wisely, but enthusiastic
cally. It's something Of the story of
the remaking of man and something
Of the story of woman's love that
lived through lot Of adversely and 10
all is done with considerable skill
Director Monte Banks, whom you
probably remember as a Aim comic
OF sometime back, directed and in
fused more than little power in
many Of his sequences. There's an old.
time prizefght scene that packs a
punch as hefty as that Of either of the
battlers and there are mob scenes
where excitement wakes high. The
pace Is slow on occasion and there are
spots where the editing is more care
less than bad. but all in all We're
Going to Be Rich" is picture of the
scene and times that you should enjoy
to the utmost
You are sure, at least, to enjoy the
antics Of Miss Fields, some Of her
comic songs being nothing short of
hilarious. Victor McLaglen Is the man
in the case. and he plays a role
tailored right to his measure with more
authenticity in his yigor than he has
displayed on some occasions of late

Metropolitan Shows
A jungle Picture.

THE principal celluloid item on the
Metropolitan's bill last night was
"Booloo." a film which might be sub
titled "Dodging Blowguns in Search
OF the White Tiger or so There, I'M
perial Exploration Society,"" 1t is a
travelog, and from it much can be
learned about the strange Sakai people
and the furred and feathered folk of
Malay. The Sakai people. according
to Paramount, worship a white tiger,
and. when he comes around looking
hungry. they serve him their most
beautiful maiden.
"Booloo' has almost everything for
which moviegoer might ask-in q
way. Romance: Jayne Regan being
very unhappy in London while her
flance is stalking the rare beast to re-
establish the honor of his late father
regarded as an eminent explorer until
he left the weird tale to be published.
Humor: Funny animals. Music
Tribal drums and chants. Stirring
drama: Six members of the British
armed forces arriving just as explorer
Colin Tapley Is about to be dispatched
by the medicine man with a poisoned
| dart.
All Of this doesn't make "Booloo" q
good picture. however, not even with
Mamo Clark to play the intended
sacrifice. The white folk are around
too much to make 1t 4 good travelog,
but the animals and sakai boys do
very we'll when they are given their
chances. The Metropolitan gets its
feature out of the way in quick order,
though. and the bargain shorts pro-
gram is run on to f1ll out the cycle,
its high light being another Floyd
Gibbons thriller. C.. A. M.

Oh ClueNA 1ADrlCdtlON, Stlll SCAckS up
as top-notch entertainment and there
has been q lot Of the human comedy
and tragedy that is life woven into 1t.
Adapted from Edith Ellis play,
white Collars" and an up-to-date
remake Of one Of M-G-Ms earliest
sound pictures, "Rich Man, Poor
Girl' is lifted out Of the groove and
given more than just q semblance Of
reality by story that is not too hack
neyed and by some characters whose
habits and emotions are honest and
authentic. The millionaire Of the
piece discovers the middle-class family
OF his secretary-fiancee will have none
Of what they consider charity" so
moves in with them to get their point
OF view. Led on by Cousin Henry's
eloquence in pleading the cause of the
great middle class that lives contin-
ually in the no mans land in the
everlasting strife between capital and
labor, the rich lad threatens to give
away his fortune. Then there's q
slightly phoney ending that leaves
every one happy.
All Of this is brought pretty happily
to life by the principal haracteriza-
tions and by the direction of Reinhold
Schunzel, who has done well by the
script on his first assignment in Hol-
lywood, except for couple of spots,
principally comedy sequence he
dragged out so far it hurts. The lead
ing role, of course. is Mr.. Young's
and he handles it competently. 1t GER
tainly Is good to see him come by a
good woman honestly for once.
But the supporting players are the
ones who really make their doings
count. There's tousled Lew Ayres,
for instance, who does a topping job
as the Cousin Henry. who is not ex-
actly radical but who feels it is high
time the meek middle class stopped
being meek and inherited some of the
earth from the smaller and more
vociferous classes.
And = couple of young lassies who
heretofore have been little more than
names on the MG-M contract list

in them by the studios talent scouts
Miss Hussey, 1t is reported, has been

ments with extreme skill and no doubt
Is headed for better things.

the last OF the cOuntry'S theaterS the
thing is bound to be rated as one Of
the better gangster film hits.
To achieve the new twist. which has
had the effect Of rejuvenating the cast
as nothing else could have done. the
authors of DR.. Clitterhouse's saga OF
sin have turned to medical science
They have provided the willy Mr.
Robinson with the resourceful brain
Of q great physician. sent him calmly
into a den Of ferociouS thieves, and
brought him home with some mighty
fine loot for that vast audience which
finds crime its favorite cellulold
subject
The Amazing DR.. Clitterhouse"
offers Robinson q kind of Jekyll-Hyde
role. A highly successful practitioner
of medicine, he finds himself fasci-
mated with the mental aspects OF
crime AS he sees it. the impulse is
a purely scientific one designed to
provide him with material for vol
ume which he hopes will have a vital
bearing upon criminology. Acting
upon the impulse. he gets f1rst-hand
information on his subject by pulling
four perfect robberies only to find
that he Is not such a darned good
criminal in that he does not know how
to dispose of the loot.
To learn that important side Of
the business. he gets into contact with
the top-ranking gang in New York
becomes its leader and thereafter goes
into q series Of fast-moving didos that
we are not going to tell you about
because the cast does it 50 much
better.
Anton Litvak, who can be very
artful director when he has the right
story, obviously regarded this As that
type. His handling Of cast and ma
terial keeps the suspense rightly con-
slant. but not 50 constant there are no
pauses for comedy relief Mr.. Litvak
even finds time. and place. to inject
into The Amazing DR.. Clitterhorse'
a romantic note that is nicely in keep
ing with the cerebral quality OF the
picture.
There are great many stethoscopes,
other laboratory paraphernalia, blood
pressure records, and snatches Of dia-
logue that sound like the last meeting
of the American Medical Association
but they serve only to make the Whole
scene more dramatic.
Mr.. Robinson is close to top form in
amazing cupidity as the physician who
carries his purely scientific criminal
career to the very logical conclusion of
finding out how a murderer feels. If
the mannerism of less highly edu-
Gated criminal creeps occasionally into
his performance, it Is never discon-

father of the fighter and a man with
great talent for Dragging is another
who makes a very interesting con-
tribution to- both the entertainment
and the revelations Of the film.
Most appealing role, next to that
81 Taylor's, is that of the dumbest
trainer in boxing history. It Is played
with his inevitable gusto by Lionel
Stander, who has not had such a
whale of lot of fun in half a dozen
pictures.
Romantic interest is provided once
again by Maureen O'Sullivan, whose
professional life and artistic talents
have been dedicated to Taylor by
M-G-M. Miss O'Sullivan handles her
task with steadily improving effective
ness
Being a fighter is groove into
which Taylor fits more snugly than
he did as a quarter-miler in "Yank
at Oxford" The unpracticed eye of
the moviegoer will detect no flaws in
Mr.. Taylor's equipment as a muscular
lad on his way to high and hard
to-reach place in what the sports
writer's call fiStiana. In marked con-
trast to the handsome chap who played
faint Armand to Miss Garbo's vi
brant Camille. Taylor makes his fight
sequences really exciting. 1t is pretty
clear that both he and the producing
company are deadly serious about
this business of building him into
something more substantial than an
animated Adonis.
The Crowd Roars" is not worth
as many bells as sound in the sock
sequences of the film. but it is one
of the best things Taylor has ever
done There is no need to pine away
if you do not see it. but you will be
missing something that is very sound
entertainment.
DETE SMITH fans, whose name Is
legion with those who 60 in for
understatement. will be very happy
to know that the potent mite who
specializes in short subjects is repre-
sented on the Palace bill this week
This time Mr.. Smith and his technique
wander into the field of anesthesia
and come back, as usual. with a
dramatic narrative that will give you
a new respect for selected short sub
/ jects.' A profoundly entertaining fell
low. Mr.. Smith.

Excellent Film of

- EIIEH OF 4NlHOOOC.
TION," which Charlie Nc
Carthy steals unblinkingly
from such star performers
as Adolphe Menjou and Andrea Leeds,
went into its second week at Keith's
yesterday. In stealing the picture,
with thesassistance Of another Bergen
dummy-who is as dumb as Charley
Is bright-the ventriloquist set accom-
plished one Of the neatest thefts Of
the year, for Letter of Introduction"
constitutes valuable haul. 1t Is
picture which begins with q punchy
story, profits by some Of John NJ
Stahl's best direction, and ends up as
something that resembles "Stage
Door" enough to make you catalogue
them together. With less skilled di-
rection and Interpretation it could
have seemed trite stuff, but it never
even comes close to that low level.
There Is a lot Of pathos in the tale
OF the ambitious girl who wants to
get on the stage through the medium
OF great actor-father, who is too
vain to admit the existence Of daugh-
ter. Miss Leeds and Mr.. Menjou play
that combination OF roles for all they
are worth. aided neatly by George
Murphy as the girls sweetheart, Ann
Sheridan as the fathers next BRIDE
to-be and Rita johnson as the girl
who loves Murphy. The situation has
q lot OF drama in it and Mr.. Stahl
comes up with the last gram of it.
The things one will remember long
est, however, are those in which the
impudence of Mccarthy comes ring
ing to the comic relief Of the basic
set-up. He starts rather slowly but
midway in the film, when the oafish
dummy Mortimer Is introduced, Char
ley hits his finest stride and there Is
no catching him.
Keith's program this week is sup
plemented by new edition of the
March Of Time" which concerns
itself primarily. and Interestingly, with
the traff1c safety problem. J.C.
