The gay, tender, frivolous charm
OF a Viennese waltz might strike one
as too elusive material for the mo-
ton picture camera, but that would
be before one had seen Masquerade
In Vienna" which, at long last, came
yesterday to the Little Theater. The
original film, of which the Amer
ican-made "Escapade" was an mex
act, spiritless copy, is photograph
Of Viennese waltz, with all its
romantic charm, its grace and its
artful comedy intact. 1t is some
thing not to be missed, a picture the
more haunting today because its
theme is the ghost of a Vienna which
no longer exists save in name.
The lightness and sparkle of MAS
querade in Vienna" derive from one
of those felicitous combinations of
excellent story. adroit direction, and
skilled cast. The latter Is headed by
Paula Wesley, petite brunette who,
when the picture was made in 1894
was besieged by Hollywood offers
which she politely, firmly, and prob
ably unwisely, turned down.
Miss Wessely's part, of course, is
that which Luise Rainer played in
"Escapade,' that of the simple, inno-
cent girl drawn into the middle of
what promises to be Vienna's great
est scandal, an affair involving some
of the gay capitals most urbane,
affable and highly placed citizens.
She makes of it one of the most
completely attractive screen por-
traits in months. thing of piquant
naivete which fully merits all the
compliments and prizes it won when
the picture was Europe's greatest
hit several years ago. :
Willy Forst, who directed Miss
Wesley and her talented associates
in this beguiling enterprise, keeps
his picture invariably gay without
losing its undertone of wistfulness.
1t Is a very delicate Job, one rich
in opportunities for mistakes. but
Mr.. Forst is far too wary a maker
of drama to be caught in any of
the traps laid by so treacherous a
plot. His task is to show what a
deep and innocent love, plus good
ness, can accomplish in the way of
a revolution among the shallow
casual habitues of Viennas cafe So
ciety. He makes something of it
that will surprise those who remem-
ber "Escapade" as a good story
which somehow went wrong in its
translation into English.

Dancer Has a Theory
About DictatOrs
And Dancing
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
Nimble-footed George Murphy, who
pondered social problems at Yale
before he became hoofer by pro-
fession. has a couple of kind of
new ideas about relationships and
the dance.
did you ever observe" asked
Murphy, cooking both feet on the
nearest desk, that dictators are
poor dancers? Incidentally, I never
knew a dancer who was dictatorial.
MY theory is that if only dicta-
tors like Hitler, Stain and Musso-
lini had been taught in their younger
days to dance they wouldn't be die
tators today-and there might be
no war"
Dancing, said Murphy, not only
provides a normal outlet for the
emotions, but it develops sense
