Washington
Ballet Ends
Season
Request Program
Staged by Local
Dance Group
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

Practically exultant amidst the
comparative spaciousness of the
Roosevelt High School Auditorium s
stage, the Washington National
Ballet last night presented the last
of its Fridays at Nine" series,
which heretofore has called the in
innate King-Smith Playhouse home
And it is the pleasant duty of this
postscript to the season to report
that the finale was veritably tri-
umphant, that the largest audience
the group has faced yet was full
of enthusiasm.
Last evenings program being
composed principally of request
ballets, chosen by patrons as the
seasons favorites, the numbers, with
the exception of two new entr'a
and "Danse Macabre," which we
seem to have missed, have been re-
ported upon before in this depart
ment. The entracte not before
seen by the balletomanes who have
followed the local group are mo-
ments Of dancing which won con-
siderable approval. "Reverie," to

found Mary Day and Willard Van
Simons in some exceedingly grace
full doings, and La Masque Rouge"
was Marguerite Weighells bright
solo contribution.
"Danse Macabre," to the Saint
Saens music, of course, is, like all
of Lisa Gardeners choreography we
ever saw, definitely expressive and a
sensible translation of the music.
'Danse Macabre" may mean some
thing else to you but this episode
the story of group of young peo-
pie who dance in an old castle and
suddenly discover their master of
ceremonies is Deaths ever inter-
esting. And it is colorfully cos
tuned, performed we'll by Louise
Hawthorne, Miss Day, Marjorie
Mcgee, Alice Louise Hunter and
some others in the group.
Variety marked the rest of the
program, too. There were the
sprightly revival OF 1.-THE Magic
Flute" the purely classical dances
to Ravels "Danses Mobiles ct Senti-
mentales, the charming "Poeme," to
Chopin music; Miss GARDENERS gay
solo, lie Corrida," and that stirring
emotional drama, 'Melodrama, u
which Dorothy Radde Emory COM
posed for the group. And it all was
fine, the more so this time, no doubt,
because in addition to finding them
selves on a large stage the dancers
were accompanied by the Washing
ton Civic Orchestra, conducted by
DR.. Kurt Hetzel.

Bette Davis
Prize Film
Dark Victory Gets
Second Week at
The Earle

Dark Victory" which gives movie
audiences the opportunity to be ex-
quisitely and exaltedly sad and to
see Bette Davis In q performance
that probably will win her q third
Academy award. entered q second
week at the Earle yesterday. With
1t was held that nicely complement
tary stage show which is headlined
so pleasantly by Marion Talley.
In all her career, Miss Davis has
had no such rich opportunity to tear
into the emotions of her audiences.
She Is cast here IS rich, proud.
life-loving debutante doomed to
death in 10 short months as q result
Of q brain growth. In that interval
she must face and conquer . terrible
distate for dying, dissolve . pride
that keeps her wretched most of
the time, marry the man she loves
and distill what Is left of life until
she gets down to the very essence
Of happiness.
Any actress would welcome the
chance at q part like that, but few
could make Of 1t such . deeply NOV
ing portrait. When the picture
opens, Judith Traherne is q neu-
rotic hellion. q terrified, bad tenn
pered, willful vixen whose existence
is an unbroken cycle of hysteria
and alcoholism. It's ending finds
her transformed into an angel and
the audience reduced to pulp. A
very satisfied pulp, 1t should be
added.
Miss Davis fine role is not the
only one in the picture. A story
like that must have q large coterie
of appealing characters. This one
has, with George Brent doing an
excellent job as the medico-lover
Geraldine Fitzgerald as the de-
voted secretary and Ronald Reagan
as the sporting swain who loves and
loses.
The production of Dark Victory"
is entirely worthy of its potent story.
While the theme of the story Is
tragic, 1t never is allowed to become
morbid. Everybody concerned makes
q rather exalted thing Of the
heroine's inevitable death and the
tears it evokes are honestly earned
and gratefully bestowed.
The highly favorable comment
devoted to Miss Talley and the
other acts of the Earle's stage show
in this department last week applies
just as definitely today. 1t all makes
for that rare thing, two-week run
of which this Is the fourth In the
Earle's 10-year history. J.C.

Bert Wheeler Back
To Start Career
In Films Anew
BY the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD.
Bert Wheeler, after an absence
Of year and half from the screen
Is back at work again and starting
what amounts to a new career.
For IL years, three on Broadway
and nine in the movies, Wheeler
and the late Robert Woolsey worked
together as a comedy team. Dur
ing Woolsey's long illness, Bert
stayed away from the screen
Months after his partner died
Bert found courage enough to be-
gin all over.
His first single harness" film Is
called Lighthouse Harry" in which
he plays a cowboy who becomes q
WOW Of football player. It's new
stuff for Wheeler. No slapstick
such as he specialized in, and fol
the first time in his life he is using
a dialect-he's sort of a 'hill-billy
cowpuncher."
He says the character is more
definite, and, he hopes, more be-
lievable than the smart-cracking
cigar smoking fellow he played for
SO many years.

Once More
Returns
Good Ship Bounty
Sails the Sea
At Columbia

Once more the good ship Bounty
sets out to sea with a salt spray in
her face, a bone in her teeth and
good breeze spanking topsls. Once
more "Mutiny on the Bounty" turns
up on F street Cat the Columbia,
to prove it is rousing adventure
yarn. There probably is little point
in going very thoroughly into the
matter Of 'Mutiny" at this date-it
was one Of the best films of its time
and its time isn't up-but some re-
minder of its merits may be in order.
1t was directed by Frank Lloyd,
an adventure cinema expert, whose
sweeping strokes on a broad canvas
are just the technique demanded by
vigorous. rousing sea yarn like the
Nordhoff Hall novel. Forcefully,
often brutally, Mr.. Lloyd told the
story Of the cruel Capt. Bligh and
the Fletcher Christian who finally
rebelled, with no sugar coating to
hide the harshness of those days
aboard the Bounty. There's a light
touch of romance, to be sure, but
most of 1t is lashing and keel
hauling and spread-eagling and
starving and more lashing.
There's stirring melodrama to
'Mutiny on the Bounty" kept al
ways flaming by three vital char
acters played surprisingly well.
There's Charles Laughton's Capt.
Bligh, the sadist you hate bitterly for
his cruelty to the men under his
command and still admire complete
ly for his seamanship when he
brings an open boat across $500
miles Of sea. It's the characteriza-
ton which still is the basis for all
the vaudeville mimics' limitations of
Laughton, compliment, even If a
doubtful one. And there's Clark
Gables Fletcher Christian, hating
the cruelty, but fighting to keep
his temper in check and not turn
mutineer. And Franchot Tones
Roger Byam, torn between his hate
for Capt. Bligh's cruelty, his loyalty
to Christian and his loyalty to Great
Britain's navy and its traditions.
A fine trio they make and a fine
film Is "Mutiny on the Bounty" still
rousing drama after four years.

Cooper and Donlevy
Fare None Too Well
AS PrOSpectOrs

The dream Of desert prospectors
for half century came true for
Gary Cooper and Brian Donlevy-
for a few minutes.
They found one of those famous
"lost mines" that dot the South
western desert country, which are
Donlevy's hobby and on which he
is an authority of considerable note.
From the tower on the fort erected
on the crest of one of the tallest
sand peaks in the California dunes
for the filming Of Paramount's
Beau Geste," the actors, through
their binoculars, spotted what they
believed to be the only clue to the
location of the legendary Adams
mine.
Discovered decades ago by a pros
pector named Adams, who brought
out 100000 in nuggets on a pack
mule and then could never find his
way back, the mine is known to be
near an ancient stone corral erected
by Mexicans couple of centuries
ago.
Donlevy. familiar with the story,
was greatly excited when Cooper
first picked out the outline of q
stone structure almost buried by the
sand, several miles from the Beau
Geste" set.
In the morning Cooper and DON
levy rode out to the ruins. Their
excitement increased. They traced
out four walls of stone, and found
what appeared to be gate.
They began to dig. In . few
minutes the secret hidden by the
sands was laid bare, when their
shovels disclosed q legend. It read:

oped In the four years she has been
head of the terpsichore corps at
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. The young
lady has come a long way since she

tuosity.

show is managed by that energetic

the Refs brothers, and very well
managed 1t Is. The other acts,
which probably is no way to dis
pose Of them in view of the talent
they involve. include the singing of
young Tommy Martin and the in
tricate, tempestuous dancing of
Gaynor and Ross.
1t is. however, very definitely Miss
Powell's week.

The picture stars Walter Pidgeon
and Virginia Bruce, but there is no
question that the star of the pro-
gram is their commissary colleague,
Miss Powell Always a favorite here,
she will further ingratiate herself
with her Washington following. 1t
Is an excellent act Miss Powell has
developed, a concoction Of dancing
and merry chatter that is backed
by its own Hawaiian orchestra. In
addition to three skillfully danced
numbers, topped by hula in
Hawaiian costume, Miss Powell in
dulges in several minutes of agree
able banter. One of her non
dancing bits is an imitation of
Katharine Hepburn, well done de-
spite Miss Powells modest dis
claimer to being an imitator. An
other humorous note is tale told
out Of school about a date with
James Stewart, the old Princeton
string bean.
There are couple of novel fea-
lures about Society Lawyer" which
might be worked into a kind OF
overture to further scrutiny OF
Its merits. One is that it gives Miss
Bruce a change to sing. She al
