Beethoven

Following the successful re-
turn engagement Of Grand
Illusion" which closes tonight,
the BelaSco Theater will present
Beethoven Concerto" a film
of talented youth and great
music.
Beethoven Concerto" is
story of two young violin prodi-
gieS, and their adventures as
rivals in a nationwide contest
held to choose the best original
cadenza for Beethoven'S classic
work. The cast Of the film, for
the most part, consists of juve-
nile actors, who are said to set
a new standard for child acting
generally.
None of the youngsters is a
professional performer, and the
result is a charming naturalness
that promises to make for re-
freshing and delightful enter
tainment.
Beethoven Concerto" as
might be expected, abounds in
great music, most of it by the
immortal composer whose great
work gives the picture its title.
There are also excerpts from
other compositions, including
the popular Bach "Chaconne."
However, with due respect to the
masters, the films particularly
interesting musical feature is
the score written for it by
Dunayevsky, brilliant European
song writer and pianist, named
by many musicians as perhaps
the closest rival of the late
George GerShwin.
He has contributed a musical
background for the picture that
adds much to its good humor
and cleverness. Not only are
the story and the acting witty
and laugh-provoking, but the
Dunayevsky tunes bring forth
chuckles throughout the film
because of their novel spirit.

melody with the piano tunes
which Frank Young will pound
out. Together they make a
combination that makes for
magical melody. And a team
that ought to prove a revelation
to local amusement seekers.
While both principals are best
known for their announcing
chores, each is an accomplished
musician. Prior to his asSocia-
ton with VOL some four years
ago Art Brown was featured
organist with the Loew Theater
in Norfolk and in other cities.
And one of the most popular in
that field. Collegue Young'S
pianoforte has been a joy to
listeners for a good many years.
These VOL musical "wows"
will further enliven the variety
vaudeville program which has
suffering Roscoe AteS as its
headliner.

Laurette Taylor, who will be
the star of the Command per-
formance of Outward Bound"
hasn't appeared in washington

Laurette didn't like the role,

ENGLISH HIT SCREENED
Hardie Meakin grabbed THE
Lady Vanishes" for Keith's on
the strength of Director Alfred
Hitchcock's decoration by the
New York Critics Circle. They
called it best direction OF
1888"
So RKC Keith's gets a fast
movie, that stems from a story
Alexander Woollcott used 10
tell and write about. You know
the legend in which a mother
disappears while travelling with
her daughter, the girl becoming
more terrified each hour over
her loss. completely baffled ana
almost insane, when everybody
even friends and hotel EN-
nl5yes. insist she was travelling
alone, unaccompanied by any
one. , :;
"The Lady Vanishes," IS a
bang-up treatment OF this type
of mystery thriller. 1t is last
as lightning in direction a1ter
a bungling start, compounds
suspense, keeps the camera alert
and alive. It is begged down
with British accents as thick as
cold molasses, but it hops, sklpS
and Jumps so lively, these Eng
lish examples of terrible dlctlon
are minor faults.
Some smart showmen say,
cit amt cricket for the American
SCREEN but Mr.. Meakin thinks
to the contrary, and SO does
Jim Brennan, his division man
ager, who made the deal with
Sam Wheeler of the Fox Ex'
change.
"The Lady VanisheS" comes
in after John Barrymore's The
Great Man Votes" departs, prob
ably on Saturday.
PRECIOUS RED BOOK
I am certainly deep in the
dept of Producer Cliff Reid OF
RKO-Radio's studio. He sends
to the department desk a hand
some bound working script Of
'The Great Man Votes.
Book presents the scenario eX-
actly as it was shot by Director
carson Kanin, and then to make
it the perfect gift, he had the
cast autograph the volume.
Names include Pandro S. Ber'
man (chief of RKO production)
John Barrymore, Virginia Weld,
Ter, Peter Holden, Donald Mac
Bride, Cliff Reid, Carson Kanin
and Author John Twist.
A valuable addition to any
library, and invaluable to those
who have a vague idea of some
day writing for the movies.

When the headmaSter abol-

there is mild rebellion, "Donk"
is charged with being unable to
uphold tradition, department
and scholastic law and order.

This is all ironed out neatly

SOME GOOD ACTING
Producer Milton Shubert as.

Edward Fielding plays "Donk"
with quiet force and conviction.
Betty Moran (Sister of Lois)
makes an impish Buttons" but
should practice eye control. Mar
celia Swanson as the maternal
aunt, Virginia Barton and Jane
Sterling play the other feminine
roles acceptably.
Best actor in Bachelor Born"
is Philip Tonge, who gives pre-

domineering dominic. Francis
Compton, Richard Temple, Jack
Merivale and Robert Mayors
also turn in good cards.
