what of a more elaborate musi-
cal enterprise than the previous
film starring these Broadway
notables. 1t is equally as swift
moving, tuneful and gay, is
handsomely staged and boasts a
number of good-looking lassies.
Gordon and Revel concocted a
half-dozen taltalizing rhythms,
of which Sweet Someone" and
IT Wanna Be in Winchell's Col
umn" are the most easily re-
membered.
SIlMONE SINGS
The big surprise of the pic.
ture, as everyone must know by
this time, is Simone Simon, who,
Hollywood suddenly discovered,
has a voice, a singing voice of
real appeal. Besides singing the
Gordon-Revel tunes, she tests
the full range of a very sweet
voice in the BELL Song" from
Lakme.
The story of Love and
Kisses" briefly concerns the das-
tardly attempt of Ben Bernie
and his pals to make Winchell
promote and publicize a French
singer who is in the employ of
Bernie. Walter gets wise to the
skullduggery, gives Bernie the
scare of this life and make him,
the maestro, look ridiculous in
his own night club.
Bert Lahr as Bernie'S Stooge
and Joan Davis as Winchell'S
Girl Friday are responsible for
as much of the hilarity as the
principals. Dick Baldwin, as
the young man from De Boise
who is trying to make good on
Broadway the hard way, plays
the romantic lead alongside ST.
none Simon.
FINE STAGE SHOW
The stage bill at the Capitol
this week proves as diverting as

Beavers Show

Featuring Louise Beavers, mo

Hollywood, the Beavers Revue
opened at the Howard Theater
yesterday with an array of the
hottest entertainers to don the
uptown house this year.
Miss Beavers, who broke into
the movie from her home town
at Cincinnati, Ohio, and now
has risen to the position OF the
most prominent sepia person

wins the audience with her dy-
manic presence. Buxom, she
adds the blues air to a trio of
hot numbers; assisted by the
Tommy Myles' Orchestra.
Others in the revue include
the red hot dance team Of the
Brown Jacks; a troop of Ha-

act of Chinese members of the
art of juggling and tumbling.

CoIbert-Boyer In "Tovorich"
At the Metropolitan

To miss "Tovarich," currently
at the Metropolitan for a return
engagement, would be casting
aside the chance to view one of
the most sophisticated, laughable
comedies that has appeared this
season.
1t is light and gay, but con-
tains that faint ring of drama.
Charles Boyer and Claudette Col
bert handle the numerous situa-
tions with ease and assurance,
neither under or over-playing,
which is more than can be said
of the supporting cast in several
instances.
1t is the madcap story of a
royal Russian couple who rather
than spend their fortune go to
work as butler and houSe-maid
for a rich Partisan banker
whose wife is fluttering social
butterfly"
The situations that arise be-
tween the son and daughter of
the household and this hard
working couple are responsible
for many laughable moments.
Son and father fall for Claudette
while mother and daughter fall
for Boyer.
All of which brings us to the
conclusion that the plot is some
what similar to my Man God
frey" only there are two bene-
factors of the family in the per-
sonage of the two stars.

On
Second Week

'"The Hurricane" spectacular
drama of the South Sea Islands,
is a vital and thrilling produc-
ton. Continuing a second week
at LoeW'S Palace Theater, this
epic storm film is one of the
most impressive the motion pic.
ture industry has yet turned
out, a powerful and telling love
tale of simple, primitive folk.
Terangi is a native son of one
of these islands, leader amongst
his people, a daring and lovable
man. Welded to the daughter
of the chief, he finds himself
outside the understanding of the
law until he is finally banished
to imprisonment, which stretches
on and on as he tries time and
again to escape. His ultimate
escape is the plot of the story.
Jon Hall has been given the
role of Terangi, which he makes
a living being. He displays ver-
satility in his charming acting,
his remarkable swimming. Dor
othy Lamour is his lovely wife,
the daughter of the chieftain
of the island.
The dramatic highlight is, of
course, the hurricane, which has
been Superbly filmed, but it
seems that the entire perform
ance has been built up to a
point of dramatic perfection,
which makes "The Hurricane"
one of the most fascinating the
season will produce.
Additional features include
Jimmy Fidler's novelty, film
stars of today and yesterday, a
news release and an animated
Betty Boop cartoon.
