"Set to Music"
Will Open
Monday

Beatrice Lille will arrive at
the National Theater Monday
night as star of the gala enter
tainment promised in Noel Cow
ards new revue, "Set to Music"
The show, produced by John
c. Wilson, will remain in Wash
ington one week after Mondays
opening, then move on to New
York for what already is proph.
esied as an ardent welcome.
Original reports, weeks ago,
had it that Mr.. Coward had
written himself a part in his
newest Importation, but this
proved mildly exaggerated, since
Mr.. Coward felt that writing the
music. lyrics and sketches, and
staging the entire affair, was
representation enough for one
man.
Besides, 1t was to be Beatrice
Lilies sh w-especially de-
signed for her from beginning
to end.
That mad shopper for double
damask dinner napkins is no
stranger tc Coward footlight
pieces. She appeared with him
in "This Year of Grace" and
has made many of his subse-
quent songs and sketches his
toric. Her sparkling, copyright
ed wit also has contributed
much to- the success of such
memorable productions as THE
Chariot Revue" "She's My
Baby" '"The Little Show" and
"At Home Abroad" as well as
more recent screen hits.
In "Set to Music" Miss Lille
will have the support of an out
standing company of American
and English players, among
whom are Richard Haydn, the
comedian who scored in the re-
cent Lon don revue, Mine
Sharp; Eva Ortega. the sing
ing favorite of New York's smart
supper clubs: Penelope Dudley
Ward, of last seasons French
Without Tears: Moya Nugent.
Anthony Pelissier, and Kenneth
Carten, who appeared in ITO

cal successes, and Bronson Dud-

Those who like the Crosby

"Pocific Liner" With McLoqIen
Opens on Keith's Screen

Pacific Liner" showing cur
rently at Keith's, is one of those
thrilling romances Of the high
seas in which Victor Strong
Arm" McLaglen, beloved of the
hard-stoking men who keep up
the steam, runs the ship into
port two hours ahead Of Sched-
ule against almost insurmount-
able odds which would have
broken a less energetic man.
This is the story of a driving
engineer whose pride in his ship
and her record are more to him
than anything else known to
him; because of this he is nick
named the "Crusher" and has
a record along the Pacific Coast
as a man who can take his ship
through any hazard. He has
an eye for the ladies and in
true sailor tradition has quite
a list of phone numbers on both
sides of the ocean.
TROUBLE ON HIGH SEAS
There is a doctor, too, special
izing in tropical diseases who
has a yen for the lands down
under the Equator and who
ships on this voyage because he
Is unsettled, rowing. restless. The
girl in the case is nurse, known
to the doctor and loved by him,
whose place on shipboard is a
minor one until in the hold a
stowaway is discovered, only to
die Of Asiatic cholera. Keeping
the news from leaking above
deck where the passengers are
enjoying the mild, sunny cross
ing from the Orient, is the job
of the doctor, the nurse and,
above all, the engineer.
McLAGLEN EXCELS
The men die with horrible
suddenness and the crew is only
a skeleton force, merely suffi-
cient with the driving power of
the "crusher" to keep the inner
moving. Against death-defying
odds they reach San Francisco,
home, and the gloom aboard
ship, below deck, is lifted when
the Gin port" call is sounded.
Victor McLaglen - powerful,
hardboiled. amusing-plays his
usual 'gruff, soft-hearted role.
Barry Fitzgerald, delightful, does
much with a small role. Chester
Morris, Wendy Barrie, Alan
Hale, Halliwell Hobbs and John
Wray play with good attention
The Washington times., 1939-01-07

.. How he manages to redeem
himself in the eyes of the cadet
corps is entertainingly told. The
other players do their work skill
fully. Joan Fontaine, the coach'S
daughter, Tom Brown and Rich
ard Carlson. Hayward's loyal
roommates, and. Alan Curtis as
the upper-clasSman, whose girl
Hayward appropriates, all con.
tribute fine performances, with
Carlson's being exceedingly
good.
George Bruce wrote the screen

GOOD STAGE SHOW
Sara Ann McCabe brings g
beautiful smile, a better voice
and an ingratiating manner to
vaudeville, consequently her
song offerings are always some
thing to hear.
She sings the Cara Mott" aria
from "Rigoletto," Listen to the
Mocking Bird" in swingtime,
and one or two other coloratura
gems. Some of her notes go
higher than the Monument.

Heart Is Now
At Columbia

Much film footage has been
given over to the proverbial
"gigolo" who lives on his wits
and by being generously kind
where there was money con-
cerned, but The Young in
Heart" at the Columbia this
week, presents quartet-a fam
lily of them. Yes, candidly
speaking, that is what they are.
from father and mother to son
and daughter.
It is a gay piece Of work that
moves fast and contains ade-
quate comedy. All the situa-
tions involved arise from the fact
that the Carleton family are in
search of unearned wealth, and
when they find likely prospect,
they pounce upon their victim
like birds of prey, babbling all
their stories of the Riviera, Ma
pies and when they were in
India.
DELIGHTFUL COMEDY
There is one thing they for
get to figure on, trust; for the
trust Of an old lady, played ex-
cellently by Minnie Dupree, fl.
nally softens their ruthless
hearts to such a degree that
they go to work. A surprise
comes to them when they find
they have hidden talents, the ap-
plication of which sends them
far in their respective fields.
The direction of Richard Wal
lace, with the help of Douglas
Fairbanks, jr.. and Roland
Young, has given the film a
scene that climaxes the comedy.
Young marches to his first job
as If it was "the last mile" That
one scene will outlive the entire
picture.
In her first speaking role,
Paulette Goddard does an hon.
est. sincere bit of acting. She
probably won't be Scarlett
O'Hara, but she IS Leslie San
ders through and through here.
A SUPERB CAST
Janet Gaynor does well. but
seemed to be straining at the
barrier, while Richard Carlson,
Selznick's new find, shows his
aptitude for Scotch brogue.
If you have ever seen Billie
Burke in action on the screen
you have seen her in THE
Young In Heart" She has one
thing to her credit though, and
that is: The reason she is typed
is because Hollywood has moth
ing that can touch her when it
comes to a flighty, absent-mind-
ed female. She is the TOPS"

elogue" and a Robert Benchley

sent some thrilling feats on the
teeter boards. Up to this time
it looks like another vaudeville
show. then here comes the
clown.
Comedian Murray, with unc-
tous. manner and cigar, whips
over a few nifties, then intro
duces Seats Powell, a rhythmic
stooge who caught the fancy
of the opening day audience.
Then the Emcee produces a
clarinet for more funny buSi-
ness, climaxed by a composite
of all orchestra leaders playing
Tiger Rag"
Gene Austin at the piano,
with Coco on the guitar and
Candy on the bull fiddle, give
the program a melodious lift.
Such old-timers as "Melan-
choly Baby" and such new ones
as Two Sleepy People," pro-
jected with the soft string mel
ody music, clicked solidly.
Again Mr.. Murray esents
some humorous intrusions that
maintain the comedy mood Of
the proceedings.
A Scotch number by the RoX-
cites. with Helen Palmer doing
the solo, is followed by the
finale, ingeniously tricked UP to
use both principals and chorus
to close the curtains. The best
stage show in months, due pri-
marily to an emcee who kept
things rolling.
President Roosevelt's address
to Congress, as heard in tabloid
via the Paramount newsreel,
opens the show to a rousing
hand, and for an extra fillip
there is a Merrie elody
comedy.
