German War Drive .
On Trans.Lux Screen

Spectacle comes this week to the
Trans-Lux-spectacle in an army
drive that Cecil B. De Mile couldn't
have staged with more impact. It's
in those official German photo
graphs of the Hitler military ma
chine driving into Poland, of ma
chimes and men, tanks and air
planes plunging forward unresisted.
They are propaganda pictures, no
doubt, these views of a German
army being greeted with cheers. But
the only propaganda in the shots
showing that cruiser (Which we
wouldn't try to spelD blazing away
point blank with all guns at Wester-
platte is propaganda for staying
away from places where they play
like that. There's more dramatic
news engendered by the war and
much of President Roosevelt's mes
sage to Congress is on the Trans
Lux screen.
On the American scene life goes
on. Draft-dodger Bergdon comes to
trial before a court-martial, the
Squalus finally comes to trial in a
dry dock, Helen Jacobs comes to
trial before Alice Marble, the Worlds
Fair comes to trial as Grover Whalen
sails to talk European nations into
keeping exhibits open, football teams
come to trial before coaches and q
lot of notables come to safety aboard
the S. S. Washington. Comic of the
week is Tony Galento: II hadda
fight dis guy to get to Louis. I'll
take him in two rounds"
The short subjects are a fine as
sortment, too. The Dionne quin-
tuplets and Alexander Woollcott
romp and play like any happy s.
year-olds in "Five Times Five" Dom
aid Duck suffers and suffers again
in Good Scouts" and there's a visit
to Florida man-made jungle with
some interesting notes on horticul-
ture and animal life. H. M.

Wizard of o. Back
At Columbia

"The Wizard OF o." the melodious
and technically miraculous screen
telling of L. Frank Baums immortal
story, came back for another week
on F street at the Columbia yester-
day. As this corner will keep on
saying as long as the picture keeps
on running, it is one of the most
finely imaginative pieces of work
yet accomplished by Hollywood. If
1t misses sometimes the spirit of the
Baum story, it compensates there
fore by bringing to life such fan
tastic phenomena as talking or
chards, flying monkeys, emerald
cities and, of course, those beguiling
creatures, the Tin Woodsman, the
Scarecrow, the Wizard, the Cow
ardly Lion, etc.
Its technical brilliance alone would
justify writing down the picture as q
must" And that it has many other
handsome qualities, including q par
ticularly happy musical score, is
something you must have heard too
many times already. J.. c.

All this pish and tush is mere

CATION plays 1t with a lift. And
Larry is the lad who adapted those
classics to the modern mood, or at
least to one of the younger modern
moods. It's an enjoyable mood as
he achieves 1t musically and with
an undertone Of jungle rhythm.
Now and then during the course
OF the show the Clinton music Is
relegated to the background for a
moment, once for the clever dances
OF Jack and June Blair, another
time for the Titan Trio, those lads
who perform some amazing feats
OF muscle control, and again for a

initiates. Fortunately, we felt at

Met Plays Host
TO Golden Bow

Clifford Odets' Golden Boy" the
story OF tempestuous young violin
ist whose artistic soul was knocked
cold in the prize-flght ring, resumed
its downtown run at the Metropoh-
tan yesterday. Modified to fit screen
requirements, the screen drama nev-
ertheless retains the qualities which
made the stage original such a Wig
orous success. The Odetsian flavor
is altered primarily in respect to
comedy content, and it is one re-
spect in which the film version is
the happier for the alteration. Mr..
Odets, it will be remembered, was
pretty remorseless in his attitude
that life does awful things to people
with artistic souls.
Director Reuben Mamoulian not
only defled the fates, but did it sue
cessfully when, in casting the pic
ture, he chose young william Holden
to play the part of Joe Bonaparte.
Mr.. Holden, assisted by such veter-
ans as Adolphe Menjou, Barbara
Stanwyck, Sam Levene and Joseph
Calleia, makes a highly dramatic
thing Of the circumstances which
destroyed young Mr.. Bonaparte.

Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes"
Is, in spite Of this. fairly enter
tanning mystery thriller, except that
the only person to whom it Is any
mystery is Mr.. S. Holmes. 1t has
all the usual elements of q yarn of
this sort-an assortment of sinister
leers, a hero whose actions can not
always be explained, dank fogs, hys-
terical screams, cryptic threatening
notes, lovely girl being bounded by
Death, wierd native funeral chant,
a murder, a near murder and some
suspenseful moments.
Only occasionally is it just plain
slow instead of suspenseful. And 1t
probably isn't too pat, though there
never is the slightest doubt as to the
ultimate destiny of any one of the
participants. You know without
even looking, for instance. that any
fiance Of Ida Lupino's. played by
Alan Marshal, Is no villain, even If
he does pocket q gun and follow q
man through an enshrouding fog.
The major complaint Is just the
first one made up there-that Sir
Arthur's Sherlock wouldn't have
fallen for an obvious plot that his
DR.. Watson could have penetrated,
even If Nigel Bruce's DR.. Watson
does not. It is downright painful
to watch Sherlock Holmes, the mas
ter, follow the false scent of a
murder plot while the criminal who
has threatened to commit the per-
feet crime goes quietly about the
business Of committing it. And when
finally he has enough evidence to
explain to a child Of what is
going on, this Sherlock stands and
talks to himself, wondering what it
is all about.
The Sherlock Holmes we used to
visit in Baker street knew the diff
ference between a legitimate clue
and a crank letter, too. Quick,
Watson, the needle He needs 1t.

Daughter, who loves pop, turns out
to be a bright, acidulous young
thing who puts the domestic situa-
ton In wondrously singing words

and brother. The son, torn between
a tendency to be q wealthy loafer
and an adolescent stuffed shirt, is
In q constant turmoil with every
one, most especially with the Gin
derella whom he regards as q tall
ented gold digger.
AS II all this warning between
the various members of the family
were not enough, the story intro
duces also q class conscious young
chauffeur who is always spouting
revolutionary doctrine when he Is
not insulting his employers for their
sin Of being rich.
The deftness of Fifth Avenue
Girl" as a piece Of storytelling is
nicely underscored In a number of
sequences. One of them is a park
bench scene which shows how RAM
pant romance Is on band-concert
nights. Another pictures the bitter
chauffeur singing "The Volga Boat
men" as a doleful protest against
being kept up late as he drives pop
and Cinderella through the wee
hours of dawning. Still another Is
a revolution in the kitchen when
the happy servants rebel against
the chauffeur when he crates once
too often on the subject of their
liberation from the bonds of do
mestic service.
About it all, including the capti-
waiting dialogue, there Is an as
sumption on Mr.. La Cava's part
that movie audiences are not too
dumb to appreciate wit and drollery.
He proves his point very nicely.
