What a Life Series

Latest Hardy Film
At Columbia

Love is Andy Hardy's major ad-
venture. Further proof of that is
to be found in Andy Hardy Gets
Spring Fever" which returned yes
terday to the Columbia. Not quite
so comic as Love Finds Andy
Hardy" largely because love hits
with a harder wallop, the new film
is in much the same mood and cer-
tain to be received with the same
relish.
Instead of falling in love with
some one his own age, which would
be uncompromisingly funny, Andy
this time succumbs to the charms of
his drama teacher, a pretty, young
female who could not possibly
reciprocate but who knows how
those disappointments can hurt.
The experience is touched with
poignance, but just enough of it to
make the comedy that much more
fetching.
An untammed Mickey Rooney
runs the gamut of the emotions in
volved. The rest of the cast is the
same, Lewis Stone, Ann Ruther-
ford, ETC., with one notable addi-
ton in the person of Helen Gilbert.
They ought to be sure to keep Miss
Gilbert. She belongs. J.C.

Palace Film
Tracy
Role
Africa Adventure
Featured by
Stars Work

Spencer Tracy fans who may have
been wondering when the academy
award specialist would get another
adequate role will find the answer
in Stanley and Livingstone, now
in its second week at the Palace.
AS the reporter sent by the sensa-
tional James Gordon Bennett to
comb Africa for the missing mission
ary, DR.. David Livingstone, Tracy is
back in the form which makes him
the screens top actor. 1t is great
adventure, physical and spiritual, in
which the plot involves him. Ad-
venture stories are handled with
equal force by no one else whose
name comes to mind offhand. Such
was the confidence of Producer Dar-
ryl Zanuck in Tracys ability to carry
on without love interest that it was
subordinated virtually to the van
lshing point-might even have gone
past that point without hurting any
thing save that Nancy Kelly is the
girl.
The script sticks with marked sim
ceritv to the story that was one of
the Journalistic sensations of the
10Th century. 1t is the suspenseful
story of newspaper scribe sent into
the dark heart of Africa to find a
man whose discovery would and
did, make front-page drama of the
highest type The African scenes,
authentic to the smallest antelope,
make highly interesting contribu-
ton to the effectiveness of the pic
ture, showing that Stanley was up
against much more heroic set of
obstacles than the modern explorer
"Safari' was a tough word instead
of musical one in those stern days.
Nicely complementing the per-
formance of Tracy as the reporter is
that of Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the
missionary, Livingstone An inspired
man was this servant of the church,
an enormously practical Christian
and his manifold virtues are nicely
realized in Sir Cedric's interpreta-
ton
STANLEY and Livingstone is no
average screen play, particularly so
during that four-minute speech of
Tracy's which represents its climax
and one of the most difficult things
a screen player ever has tried to do.

she holds that position regularly.
DO I want to be an actress?"
says the blond Miss Sheridan. "Oh,
no; I have no ambitions in that

Miss Pickford's father and my
grandmother were sister and broth

got me my first chances to work in
films, but as time has gone on it
has been up to me to find my own

any Of those involved had had any
sense. That is the only manner in
which it resembles Shakespeare, of
course, for this is not tale to be
remembered a few hundred years
later, or even a few hundred days
later for that matter. 1t is a fine
cinematic hash, though, of a num-
ber of the standard film yarns. 1t
has the Cinderella legend, the one
about the rich scion who proved
he was man when the family for
tunes crashed, the one about the
brave young lass who proved she was
a lady in spite Of being a debutante
and several other familiar case his
tories.
Mostly it is about the Cinderella
girl, a taxi-dancer portrayed by
Lana Turner, a tasty Cinderella fo-
whom almost ANY Prince Charming
would buy glass slippers. She is
flung down among a nest of these
glamour girls, the debutantes, at
the house parties at Kingston, a
school resembling so closely the
popular conception of Princeton
that any Princeton lad who sees it
will be ready to slug us for saying
so. One deb is almost the college
widow, one is an out-and-out vixen,
another is very nice, still another is
just frantic and they all give taxi
dancer trouble of various sorts.
There is finally, or almost finally,
OF course, that moment when the
lass from the wrong side of the
tracks tells off all the others for
the shallow people they are. But
for all the triteness of much of
These Glamour Girls the direc-
tor IS. Sylvan Simon and the
cast have endowed it with some
brightness and made it amusing.
1t sparkles more like a raspberry
phosphate than champagne, may
be, but still it sparkles some.
In addition to Miss Turner, who
is more of a strain on the blood
pressure than on the eve, there
are some talented young people
among the players. Marsha Hunt,
for instance, has role which
should set her back on that road
to film success. She's the almost
college widow, better part than
she has had in many day, and to
her it yields all the comedy and all
the tragedy in it. Jane Bryan, Ann
Rutherford. Lew Ayres and Rich
ard Carlson are convincing. too.
And Anita Louise is such a vixen
you thoroughly dislike her and it
is acting when any one who looks
like Anita Louise can inspire that
kind of an emotion.

Cagney Tale

For Star
Prison Story Told
In Grim Terms
At Met

There probably never was a prison
whose system was as vicious as
that in which Jimmy Cagney suf-
fers in Each Dawn I Die" but the
picture which moved to the Metro

credible that there should be. The
whole crew of Warner Bros, most
hardened criminals-boys who have
played stripe wearers seemingly
Observation-Disclosures with the taut,
tortured Cagney to create the i'm
preston of verisimilitude. 1t is des-
perately grim, but as the best grim
film the company has yet pro-
duced, it merits attention.
Jerome Odlum's popular novel has
been tampered with virtually none
at all in the screen adaptati ton. To
obviate any possible criticism that it
is too harsh on the penal system,
a few asides have been interjected
to the effect that the prison is far
worse than the average In the
main, however, it is the unmodified
tale of an innocent reporter (sic) who
is railroaded to prison and then
morally slaughtered by the system
The modest comedy relief of Each
Dawn Die" is provided largely in
the form of a dumb cluck prisoner
played by Make Rosenblum, whose
complete justification by everything
occasions some humorous observa-
tions. In the long stretches be-
tween Makes comedy. however,
Cagney is busy with as remorseless
bit of character revelation as the
screen has seen in months. He is
capably assisted by George Raft,
Stanley Ridges, George Bancroft,

The result is a tragic mood that

its forcefulness as vehicle for Miss
