HONOLULU OPENS
 TODAY AT LOEW'S
Greatest Girl Dancer in World, Eleanor Powell,
 Better Than Ever

Opening today ct the Loew-poil Theater Is Q picture conceived, plan ned, and produced for just one pur- pose-to entertainl That, Is de- scriptive of Honolulu" the pie ture for which West Coast premiere audiences shouted for joy, just as every theater-goer will shout when they see the great musical unfold on. the silver screen.
 Co-starring in this Metro- Gold wyn-Mayer masterpiece are dancing star Eleanor Powell and Robert Young, and Honolulu" proves to be the perfect story for both of them. In picking the rest of the cast for this big hit, star rosters of screen and radio were checked and double- checked before the setup was com- plete.
 First Burns and Allen were land- cd for the top comedy roles. Then, one after another, were added, Rochester" sensational of the Jack Benny air show; Betty Jaynes and Douglas McPhail, hailed as the musical finds of the year for their sensational work in "sweethearts;" l" lovely Rita Johnson, Ann Morris and the brilliant new starlet, Jo Ann Savers, of "Young Dr. Kildare" fame.
 To hold the riotous pace of the story through the musical numbers the Kings Men Quartet of radio fame was signed to help Eleanor and Oracle do the vocal honors, and the most famous of all Hawai- ian native orchestras, Andy fona's Islanders, was selected to give the necessary authenticity to the musical background of the hula numbers.
 With the greatest girl dancer in the world, Eleanor Powell, doing her stuff, in the big production numbers the producers felt that none less than e champion should be trusted to lead tho intricate and difficult native dances. So alluring Kealoha Holt, selected in contest embrace ing all the islands as Hawaiis champion Hula dancer, was brought

Incidentally this marks the first time that the actual air strength of the United States navy hos ever been photographed.
 Interwoven with oil this there is 0 winning and thoroughly human tale of two brothers who arc both navy flyers, and there is 0 charna- ing love story which for the time threatens to develop Into tragic triangle but Is nicely resolved at the end.
 The work Of the large and dis- tingulshed cast is fully up to the material presented them for the display of their talents. Brent as the elder of the two brothers about whom the tale revolves, presents n heart-warming portrayal of oil that is best in the veteran navy flyer fully embued with the spirit and traditions of his service.

 Karoff Is present as highly re- spected honest surgeon who is him- self convicted of treason because he has treated the wounds of con- victed traitor who has escaped from authorities. Sentenced to Devils Is. land, he suffers through soul-har- rowing experiences, and tries un- successfully to escape.

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
London's Gift To Hollywood Likes Movies Better Than Anything Else In The World
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Hollywood Margaret Lockwood Is Inc most movie-struck actress l ever have met. It's nice to see someone of her importance who is so fond oi her work,
 It's educational, too, She had arrived from England only Q cou- ple of days before we had lunch In the 20th-FoX cafe, so we sat py the entrance where she could see everyone entering and leaving And Miss Lockwood excitedly Identified nearly everybody who passed, among them a lot Of hlt and character players whom this reporter didn't recognize at all'
 I ventured the lame observation that she must have seen Q lot oi pictures in England, She guessed that she had seen every film that came out of Hollywood, from super doopers to the lowliest B's, She went to the cimena every night, and loved it, She has the adulation Of . true fan for the peple who make flickers' AFTER SHIRLEY
 SHE'S FIRST
 This is a curIously detached at titude because Miss Lockwood hap pens to be quite an actress herself. She has appeared in some good plnys in London, and about 10 pic- lures, Last film was the excellent "The Lady VaniShcs," Daryl Hen- uck saw ono reel of 1t and cabled her to come right over and do Q couple of roles in Hollywood, dainsborough, the company holding her contract protested when 1t learned that the first part was Co be the romantic feminine lead In the next Shirley Temple flicker, 1t didn't want its up-and- coming star playing second fiddle to moppet,
 Tn reply, zanuek sent several hundreds words of sizzling msis- tence, He could do that because 20th-FoX happens to have $S0o0,- 900 of persuasive cash in Gains- borough Pictures. So she came right over and was seasick during the whole crossing She also Suf- fered from misgiylngs about how she'd be treated In Hollywood be- cause people had warned her re- gNrdIng the rom0nces that pub- licity departments arc always stir ring up for players, Sure enough, it wns suggested that she not say any thing about being married, so the first thing she mentioned Is her husband, Ills name is Rupest Leon and he sells steel, which is pretty good business in Europe these days. ODDLY ENOUGH
 SHE SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH
 Margaret Lockwood is Q silver spoon actress, anyway, but unlike Q lot Of British players she doesn't speak us though she still had it stuck in her throat somewhere. l thought that seeing so many Amer icnn pictures might have altered her diction, But she said no as long as five years ago, when she first at- tended the Royal Academy of Dra- matic Art, her Scotch mother

and confirms the excellent impress sion he recently made in Garden of the Moon." He enaets his role with on ingratiating sincerity that helps enormously to make effective the many scenes that reyolve about him.
 As the center of the romantic in- terest, Miss de Havilland makes it easy to understand why the young or of the two brothers falls in love with his elder brothers finaneee for she acts her part with all the warmth and charm that have come to be expected from her. Frank MeHugh, heading the supporting cast, gets one of his rare oppor- tunities to demonstrate that he is much more than Q mere comedian
 Also important in the supporting cast are Henry O'Neil, Victor Jory John Litel, and John Ridgely.
 On the same show is the gay and entertaining picture "The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt" starring Warren William and Ida Lupino with Rita Hayworth Virginia Weidler and Ralph Mor- gan. It concerns an international thief who battles to save his eoun- try from on international spy ring Packed witk romance, laughter and excitement it Is highly recommended for everyone.
 In addition to this excellent pros gram the management will present Lincoln in the White House." This extra attraction Is filmed entirely in beautiful teehnicolor and de- picts the history -making incidents which took place while Lincoln was President of the United States of America.
 The big show coming to the State on Tuesday will be comprised of slave Boys" with Anne Shirley in the chief role; also North of Shanghai" with James Craig, Betty Furness and Keye Luke.

 The great musical numbers In the production are already being sung by the nation, and featured on radio programs on the air, and soon you'll Do humming their haunting melo- dies.
 Tn Honolulu" Miss Powell per- forms four numbers. -.afid not one of them resembles any dance she has ever done before. Her Hymn To The Sun" number, based upon 0 traditional Hawaiian hula ritual that has come down through the ages to retain It's great significance with island lovers, is on innovation in the Powell repertoire that will have audiences gasping in amaze- ment. Only less sensational than this Is the Pair of New Shoes' number she does in imitation of Bill Robinson's famous stairs dance.
