STERLING music by Sterling

summer season of dancing at the
Century ballroom this Saturday
and Sunday, June 3 and 4. Dance
fans and radio listeners have long
been partial to Sterling Young and
he has now the distinction of being
the hit of the Columbia Network
and Hollywood's most talked of
dance orchestra.
Young features smooth, flow
ing, rhythmic style, which coupled
with innumerable turns. tricks and
frills gives his orchestra a brand
of music easily distinguishable on
either the radio or in the dance
room. Featured in the band as
vocalists are: petite Bobby Ennis,
the southern songstress from Jack
son, Mississippi, and Ray Merrill,
popular crooner of the airways.
Young comes to Tacoma through
contract with the Music Corpora
ton of America and this will be his
only showing in the Northwest.
Following Young is Phil Harris
and his Jello program orchestra.

Dark Victory" Moves TO
The Blue Mouse for
Second Week

Two-thirds of Hollywood's night
clubbing is done right on the studio
sound stages, during working
hours.
AS a matter of fact, that's the
only kind many Of the screens
better known stars ever do. Bette
Davis, for example. spent As hours
on night club sets in scenes for her
latest Warner Bros. picture Dark
Victory" which moves to the Blue
Mouse theater for its second week
in Tacoma. That's more time than
she has spent in real night clubs
during the last five years.
Geraldine Fitzgerald. who took
part in the Ozark Victory" social
whirl with Miss Davis, has yet to
visit real Hollywood night spot.
Even the celebrities who do
mingle more in the Hollywood
night life and are listed as ''regu-
lars" at the clubs seldom make
more than one or two appearances
a week at their favorite haunts.
John Payne and Anne Shirley are
included in this group. 1t will take
Payne years, however, to run up a
real night club hourage to equal the
total he compiled in making just
one film-"Garden of the Moon"
Winner Take All" starring
Tony Martin and Gloria Stuart, is
also on the new Blue Mouse bill.

Mickey Rooney Wears Top Hat And Finds Night Club
Blond In New linn Titled The Hardys Ride High"
-Four Girls in White" Shares
Screen al Hamrick
House

Virginia Grey, daughter OF a
former Hollywood director. who
scored in glamour girl role in
idiots Delight with Norma
Shearer and Clark Gable, was cho-
sen to vamp Mickey Rooney in
THE Hardys Ride High" opening
today at the Music Box theater.
The picture was produced by
Neutrality-suspicious. with Lewis
Stone in his familiar role as Judge
Hardy. The film is the sixth of
series which has attained popular
ity for its portrayal of typical
American family.
More than 100 girls from %
states applied for the blond siren
role won by Miss Grey. Because
she appears to be about Mickey's
age when he meets her and later
shows up as a worldly sophisu-
cate. the role demanded versatility
beyond usual requirements.
The cast of THE Hardys Ride
High is the same as in previous
pictures of the series, with Cecilia
Parker, Fay Holden, Ann Ruther-
ford, Sara Haden and Don Castle.
George b. Seitz directed.
Sharing the screen at the Ham
rick house is -Four Girls in White"
starring Florence Rice, Una Mer-
KEEL, Ann Rutherford and Mary

'Pygmalion" is the name of Ber-
nard Shaw's first successful play
and it has been made into his first
authorized motion picture by Cab
riel Pascal. Pygmalion was a
NEUROLOGICAL character who dab
bled in sculpture. He made a
statue of his ideal woman, Galatea.
1t was so beautiful that he prayed
the gods to give it life. His wish
was granted. Leslie Howard and
Wendy Hitler play the leading roles
in Shaw's modern version of this
theme.

The only way to start out a
review of Confessions OF Nazi

the Roxy, is to say. of course. that
every American owes II to himself
to see the film unless he happens
to belong to one Of the Nazi bunds
and in that case he'd better go
anyway; he'll probably never get a
better chance to see himself as
Americans see him.

Probably 80 test wells in

Some may say that our business

understanding and that it needs
friends wherever it operates. 1t
therefore follows that tactful and
diplomatic handling of all these
matters is an indicated necessity.
