Danish Film Coming to Vogue.
By Osborne
@ Western Newspaper Union

The Danish film entitled 'Kongen
Bod" which will be shown at the
Vogue Theatre at Sandstone on Sep
TENDER S, is rated as one of the best
films that have come from Denmark;
it is produced by the Danish gov
eminent and is a representation of
conditions $50 years ago when the
Danish farmers and laborers gained
their freedom. The film was shown
in Omaha, Nebr., last week seven
times and in this connection the "Dan-
ish Pioneer" states that it is an out
standing film and beyond comparison
with anything that has hitherto come
from Denmark

'Oomph Girl Teams
With GeOr6e Raft

Fan interest in the possibilities
of George Raft and Ann Sheridan,
the "Oomph Girl" as a co-starring
team has led to the Warner Bros.
announcement that the players
would appear together for the first
time in "Torrid Zone" a story OF
the Central American banana in
dustry.
"Torrid Zone" was written by
Richard Macaulay, Jerry Wald and
Mark Hellinger, the last of whom
will also serve as associate producer
on the picture.
The growing prominence of Miss
Sheridan as result of her "Oomph
Girl" designation, and Each Dawn
Die" Rats latest release, are
credited with stimulating the inter-
est in the new team. Miss Sheridan
has risen from Oath to 1st place

The screen play, directed by Row.
land v. Lee, gets away to a crawl
ing start, during which it seeks to
make clear that young John Ran
dolph (Fairbanks) cannot escape
the family's destiny of entering the
colonial service regardless of his
flair for rebellion. He and his older
brother are sent, the latter on a
return trip after he thought he was
destined for home office service, to
the African Gold Coast. Operating
in the province, ostensibly as an
eccentric scientist studying ants, is
a munitions manufacturer. It is
pretty mysterious why he is there
and engaged in such pastime, and
the home Office wants to know the
answer. Somehow his presence is
not associated with the operation,
from no one knows where, of a
radio station that is inspiring acts
OF violence in all parts of the world,
acts which can lead only to war.
1t is in this area of the drama
that things begin to accelerate but
not as fast as might be expected
from material like that.
The young brother is the charac-
ter upon whom interest focuses.
He undoubtedly is the most in
credibly lazy and most incredibly
dumb young man who ever was
played by Douglas Fairbanks, jr.
His ineptness in losing the first
report which might have silenced
the radio station and his further
stupidity in bringing his older
brother disgrace are hardly to have
been expected Of lad so keen in
his colonial service examinations.
Authors of the tale neglect to ex-
plain-even by giving the chap a
touch of "the fever"-how he could
change so radically in such short
time. That. however. is not nearly
the oversight of which they are
guilty in converting the older
brother into an air corps officer
with no explanation at all. Maybe
the Randolphs were Just jacks of
all trades, however.
To the extent that they are per-
mitted the principal performers in
The Sun Never Sets" try to be
convincing. They are at their best
in those rare passages when they
have an opportunity to be comic,
especially Fairbanks and Melville
Cooper. The latter, as usual, is
very good as a clerical assistant to
the Randolphs. He does not, how
ever, manage to make believable
sequence in which he has to get
drunk to remember the text of
that valuable lost report.
Other old reliables who perform
we'll enough in THE Sun Never
Sets" are Lionel Atwill as the viii
famous ant expert. c. Aubrey Smith
as the retired old colonial servant
and the custodian of the Randolph
family traditions and Barbara
ONeill as the loyal, loving wife of
the elder Randolph son, whose sense
of duty was as great as his.
THE Sun Never Sets" is better if
you don't try to believe it.

CoT Iucy nave worked zeal OF

version of the old yarn about the

1t is amazing that they have been

ably a ring record. That is all right.
but the trouble is that it seems like
10 years on the screen.
The son who dislikes papa for
making mama so unhappy is not
introduced with the expected adroit-
ness of the Ruggles-Binyon cor
poration, either. With insufficient
groundwork laid he just turns up
OF a sudden, hating the old man,
and he seems more of brat de-
serving OF a slap in the Stats than
the psychologist product of a mar
riage in difficulties.
But for an of these complaints
Mr.. Ruggles and Mr.. Binyon have
turned Invitation to Happiness"
into acceptable screen fare. They
at least have managed to steer clear
OF the pitfalls of maudlinity, and
they have made an old tale an oc-
casionally dramatic one, even if you
do think this battler is dope who
deserves whatever he gets.
Invitation to Happiness is played
excellently by all those concerned.
