Music Makes
Film a Hit
Moonlight Sonata
Revived at the
Little
BY HARRY MACARTHUR,

Before further reporting on the
Lttle's new revival, let it first be
said that this is a picture If there
ever was one which deserves to be
recorded for posterity on some sort
Of time-resistant celluloid. Not be-
cause Moonlight Sonata" is any
great example of the cinema me-
dium-for it certainly is not that
but because 1t is the one film $50
far on which Paderewskis piano
genius is saved for future genera
tionS.
More than recording of the rare
artistry Of his music, Moonlight
Sonata" too, is a record OF Pader-
ewski's quiet, kindly, warm person.
ality. The photoplay also is a me-
dium in this case which triumphs
over the concert stage in one par
ticular-for here is opportunity to
watch those immortal hands at close
quarters as they make a being
vibrant with life of the wood and
steel and ivory Of musical instru-
ment. 1t is a rare treat to watch
and to listen as the master plays
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
Several times, Franz LISTS Sec
ond Hungarian Rhapsody" Chopin's s
"Polonaise in A Flat Major, Opus
53,' and his own "Minuet in G
Major"
The skeleton on which all of this
has been arranged is no credit to
the cinema, however, if it matters
It's just romance about the manner
in which Moonlight Sonata" brings
together a young man named
Charles Farrell and a young lady
named something else. Marie Tenn
pest is in it, too. But these people
and the story cans take away your
enjoyment of Paderewskis music
It's great. that's what it Is.
In addition to this concert which
is the best you'll ever get for any
number of times the price the Little s
bill includes an item titled North
Sea-" one of the best documentaries
the British have sent us. And that
Is saying something. North Sea-

and talents-the rumors are about
to come true on a local screen.
The picture is Rose of Washing
ton Square" The screen is that Of
the Palace.
In his latest film effort the young
man who was Ferdinand de Lesseps
in "Suez" comes all the way back
from international hero to just plain
heel. He is a craven weakling, TIE
object of true love Of which he is
completely unworthy. Mr.. Powers
women fans may continue to adore
him If they are filled with that in
stinct for pity which the psychol-
ogists say they have, but it will not
be the same old alteration.
Even that too-young look which
earned Mr.. Power the criticism of
so many realists disappears in Rose
OF Washington Square" He not
only looks downright unshaven and
unShorn, but wears the shabby
clothes which belong to no matinee
idol save one whose studio suddenly
regrets having overdone one ASPECT
VA Aiio ooA-oulCc appeal.
Access to all this wisdom relative
to Mr.. Power was acquired as a
result of the screening of the picture
yesterday.
Don't be discouraged. These three
words are a quick paraphrase of
young William Holden's philosophy
since he took over the leading male
role in Columbia's Golden Boy."
Mr.. Holden is getting very little
money-as money goes in Holly
wood-for playing a part so impor-
tant. The story is that he is work.
Ing for his contract pay, $50 a week.
The story does not stop there, how
ever, for it goes on to add that Mr..
Holden is extremely happy about it.
"A lot of people would pay" he
says, for the privilege of playing
this part. Who knows where it will
lead?"
That question remaining unan-
swered, Mr.. Holden sums the whole
thing up with:
1T just shows you should never
commit suicide"
See!

Lots of TOYS

II, during particularly demoraliz-
ing shopping tour, you've ever WON
dered how many toys there are in
a toy department, the property man
on R-K-O-Radio's Little Mother"
is the man you should see.
For sequence in which Ginger
Rogers, as a salesgirl in a toy de-
partment, meets David Niven, son
of the stores owner, R-K-O brought
the entire Christmas toy stock of a
large department store to the studio
There were, for example, 24O Dom
aid Ducks who waddled, quacked,
did everything but play bridge; 81
toy trains of various sizes; scores
of dolls, Teddy bears-including one
giant Teddy that stood" over 6
feet high-mechanical toys, lead
soldiers, scooters, autos, airplanes,
tricycles, wagons, games-a grand
total of more than $500 separate
items with a valuation of more than
$4,000.

nave gOt UOgeCner before. Inc en-
tertainment they offer is something
to see and to remember.
With no intention of taking credit
from those who interpreted the
Shavian Sneer at the military streak
IN man, this department finds itself
singularly full of admiration for Mr..
Shaw and the director of the play.
The admiration derives from the
teaching that Mr.. Shaw does not
need to be acted; that the only
thing necessary is that he be read
with intelligence. In the Civic's
presentation of arms and the
Man." that is what happens. Mr..
Strickland has taught his cast to
take Shaw at his word and not to
try to improve upon it, an accom-
pliShment that is the more remark
able in view of the fact that other
directors have failed to achieve as
much with professional players.
1t is a feat that makes the final
production of the Civic Theater sea-
son one of the more pleasant accom-
plishments of the year.
Among those of the cast who
learned their lessons so we'll that
Arms and the Man" becomes much
more than a fadeout are Yvonne
Kushner, Lansing Hall, Doris
Cooper, Morris Arkin, Murray Shee-
han and Norman Rose.
William Girvan's sets, which cover
such diversified terrain as a lady's
bedchamer, garden and a library
are up to his and the theater's
standards-both of which have been
demonstrated to be higher than
most community theaters achieve
Arms and the Man" merits at
tention even in period when the
outdoors clamors as loudly as it
does at this season.
For more than year there have
been rumors from Hollywood that
Tyrone Power would be given his
release from roles which tried to
make audiences believe he was 50
many of history's great heroes.
Originally inspired by the eventual
klndeSs which Metro Goodwin
Mayer showed Robert Taylor-an-

is another item which helps prove
Gilbert Seldes' contention that the
primary function of the motion pic
ture is to move; for of plot it has
little; OF movement, excitement if
you will, 1t has much. Very much.
1t Is the more thrilling, this 20
minutes or so of adventure, by rea-
son Of being factual instead of
something contrived by studio tech
nicians. The camerman set out to
take some routine pictures of the
North Sea from one of those North
Sea trawlers you've heard about,
then up came a storm and there
was the excitement and adventure.
