This STARS Over Broadway" really
is an engaging stage revue, though
a bit overlong. 1t is peopled
by some talented performers, staged
in a manner that tends well toward
the spectacular and all sails along
glibly. The only mark we have
chalked up against Count Berni
Vici and his associates is for those
loud liberties taken with M. Ravels
"Bolero" by the talented all-girl
orchestra, for which they would get
the black spot II the rest Of their
doings were not so pleasant.
The featured player in stars
Over Broadway" is young Mitzi
Green, the child star who turned
out to be still a star when she be-
came a big girl. The best of her
moments is the one where she en-
ploys her talent for mimicry on a
Fannie Brice version of That Old

she can still sing the very daylights

which proves for itself that it still Is
a song worth lending an ear to.
There are other people, too, who
enliven the proceedings consider
ably, notaby Comedienne Terry

Cory, whose slapstick with fiddle
is familiar but none the less enjoy
able, and Lane and Lane, better

Palace Film
Gives Gable
Good Role
Idiots Delight
Is Held Over
Second Week

Romance gets the call over pac-
if1st doctrine in the screen version
OF idiots Delight" but Author Rob-
ert Sherwood gave the latter enough
emphasis in the picture held over at
the Palace to make it significant as
we'll as entertaining. On the whole
it is gusty, lusty affair, for the
most part excellently cast and splen-
didly produced. Mr.. Sherwood's s
oddly assorted characters are great
deal more fascinating than the usual
people you have been meeting in
movies and the tale spun around
them is attractive we'll beyond the
average. To ask any more probably
would be unreasonable, but that may
happen in the case of the relatively
few who would have preferred the
accent on pacifism be retained.
The picture presents Clark Gable
in the role of that vaudeville hoofer
who gets involved in love, war, bomb
ing and the artistic affairs of six
blond co-workers. It is one of the
authors finer characterizations and
Mr.. Gable gives it the works. Some
of his more worshipful fans may
regret his lack of dignity. his corny
dancing, and the others facets of the
part, but the majority will find it
one of his finest performances. In
the role of the blond siren, bogus
Russian princess who rose from
cornfed chorus girl to intimate COM
panionship with the worlds great
est munitions tycoon, Miss Shearer
has her confused and confusing
moments.
The object of idiots Delight"
has been modified to make the ro-
nance between this pair paramount,
but there are number of pertinent
asides implying that war is odious
and that dictators and war lords
are undesirable citizens. The play
practically named the dictators and
made no bones of the geography in
volved, but the movie proceeds cau-
tiously on both points.
Some very moving passages are
provided by the various skilled gen.
tlemen and ladies to whom the stu
dio has assigned the numerous roles.
One Of the best is that of Burgess
Meredith as the violent pacifist. Mr..
Meredith is back in the best Mere
dith groove. So are Joseph Schild-
kraut as the professional soldier,
Charles Coburn as the indignant
herr doktor whose cancer research
is interrupted by war, Edward
Arnold as the munitions manufac-
turer. The minor parts are played
with competence and Mr.. Gables
troupe, Les Blonds, are very good
and highly amusing. j. C.

Again
Mr.. Bogart
Runs Wild
Underworld Film
At the Met Gives
Him Action

No picture which. has Mr.. Hum
phrey Bogart impersonating a Pub
lie Enemy No. l who is guided
through his career of crime by a
Napoleon complex could be total
loss. But King of the Underworld"
the new film at the Metropolitan,
certainly tries hard Never. how
ever, does it floor Mr.. Bogart. 1t
is very fine to have Mr.. Bogart back
on the wrong side of the law, snarl-
ing his words from the corner of his
mouth, humping of with nary a
qualm any one who is dope enough
to stand in his way and generally
being a complete scoundrel. 1t is
great sport to watch him.
But even Mr.. Bogart's enthusi-
astic playing Of the villain does not
keep King of the Underworld"
from being much more than slightly
artificial It's elemental melodra-
matics have Kay Francis involved in
tracking down the gangster so she
can clear Aer maine and retain her
license to. practice medicine. James
Stephenson also is involved as an
author who wanders onto the scene
and gets mixed up in it all. They
finally track down Mr.. Rogart. We
half suspected all along that they
would.
But for all its lack of the subtle
touch this should prove just the
dish for those who like their melo-
drama straight and undisguised by
grenadine or fruit juices. King of
the Underworld" may lack many
things, but action and noise are not
among them. In fact, there hasn't
been so much gunplay since the last
time Humphrey Bogart tangled with
the forces of law and order. HIM.
