Roxyettes Now Get
The Bird-but Real

Those versatile, volatile lassies,
the l6 Earle Roxyettes, add an
other novelty item to their reper-
toire of dance routines. This new
est of Roxyette tricks, a routine
created especially for "Revels in
Rhythm" the new stage show at
the Earle, finds each of the girls
dancing with a live, gaily plumed
cockatoo on her arm.
And they really are. live birds. a
skeptical baokstager reporter, was led
into the far upper reaches Of the
Earle the other night and shown
the menagerie. Genuine cockatoos
there were in those cages. They
blinked and chartered happily to
prove 1t. A couple of them just
muttered.
Four of the birds, according to
Analyn Arden, who is in charge of
the Roxyettes here, are trained to
spread their wings at the proper
time to make this Dance of the
Cockatoos" more effective.
Those things have beautiful
beaks. Don't they bite?" Miss Arden
was asked.
Well she answered quietly, I'VE
hope not"
Anyhow, each bird has a name,
which probably indicates a fine
spirit of comradeship has grown up
between Roxyettes and cockatoos
and no biting will be done. On
either side.

praiseworthy accomplishments. It
still stands pat on that.
The picture, starring Don Ameche
and Loretta Young, is no dull recital
of how the telephone was invented.
There was nothing dull about any
aspect of DR.. Bells experience. His
concurrent struggle with the elusive
ness of electricity and obtuseness of
Gardner Hubbard who did not relish
an inventor for son-in-laW makes
for nice two-edged drama. The por-
trait of DR.. Bell by Lamar Trotti is
no idealized affair. The screen
dramatist presents the inventor as
energetic, unselfish. sensitive and
capable of deep sentiment, but it
also shows him as impatient, easily
discouraged and the possessor of
very pretty temper when the oc-
casion demanded.
While not over stressed, the
romance, thing of tenderness and
beauty, is given the emphasis it
deserves. The attachment between
the tempestuous young inventor and
the beautiful deaf girl was a dra-
matte thing and is played with
understanding by Miss Young and
Ameche. Through her loyalty and
encouragement, the girl who became
Mrs. Bell played a very considerable
part in the invention OF the tele-
phone.
The role of DR.. Bell is one of the
best ever assigned to Ameche and
II he runs into few inadequate
moments 1t probably is because 1t is
very hard to play so great a man
as the inventor of the telephone.
Miss Young, who is supported by
three other Youngs as the three
Hubbard sisters. gives an appealing
Interpretation of the girl to whom
sound was an alien thing. who had
to read his lips to know the feelings
Of her husbands heart.
Best individual performance in
the film is that of Henry Fonda as
Thomas Watson, DR.. Bells resource
full assistant. Most of the comedy
touches of the film are provided by
Fonda, whose job it is not only to
assist DR.. Bell in his flights among
the cosmic mysteries, but to provide
the pair with food and shelter, items
too mundane for the consideration
of the inventor.
