continuity and cohesiveness, staging
it all in one set, the lobby of this
Swell Hotel" And just as soon as
the people involved have the Ford
script rolling glibly from their
tongues this should be a bright
affair.
Guests who turn up in the lobby
include such people as Don Zelaya,
the Five Jewels and Rita and Ed
Oehmans. For bellhops there are the
20 Rhythm Rockets, who leave off
their bellhopping on occasion for
some neat precision dancing; the
desk clerk is George Beattie, who
leaves off his desk-clerking for a
comedy moment, and the telephone
operator is Kay Mayheld, who also
sings.
Best Of the performances staged
in the lobby of Mr.. Ford's hostelry is
Mr.. Zelaya's, both when he is at the
piano and when he is lecturing about
jitterbugs. The Jewels, who juggle
Indian clubs like mad, and the
Oehmans, who dance, have their
moments, too.

peculiarly designed to upset an In
dams poise.
A leaf taken from the book of
John Ford, one Of Hollywood's best
history teachers, helps to enhance
the value of another violent flare of
gunplay. 1t is the use of fog to con-
ceal the approach Of the frontier
force to Fort Pitt, a very pretty bit
of photography.
The romance which fights for a
place in the story of Allegheny Up
rising" becomes one of its comedy
elements whether or not it was in
tended that way, and one suspects 1t
was not. 1t is an affair between Miss
Trevor and Wayne. Being hoy
denish sort of person, with more
than touch of. the tigress, Miss
Trevor is constantly trying to divert
Wayne from his Indian-English
wars long enough to recognize that
she is mad about him. Wayne can
not be bothered, but the audience
Is not so fortunate for Miss Trevor
seems much more miscast than when
she is being the tough moll Of q
gangster. her usual role.
Comedy on the robust side is pro-
vided by a group Of frontier fighters,
and drinkers, played by such fellows
as Wilfrid Lawson, Moroni Olson,
Eddie Quillan and John F. Hamil-
ton. They are stock characters, but
not quite so stock as the low-life
villain played by Chats right Brian
Donlevy.

Metro Goldwyn- Mayer did a quite

Musical Comes to Life
When Mickey Takes Over

Presents Him in Constant

universal genius the screen has yet
unveiled. In "Babes in Arms" he
acts, he sings, he dances, he plays
piano, pounds drum, beats bass
fiddle, directs kid musical, imi-
tates Clark Gable, Lionel Barry
more, Eddie Leonard and President
Roosevelt. In fact he does every
thing but explain the Einstein
theory and write Walter Lippmans
column.
A better vehicle for demonstrat-
ing the versatility of the gnome-
like lad could not have been chosen
than this stage hit written by
Richard Rogers and Lorenz Har.,
and rewritten by Jack MCGOWAN
and Kay Van Ripper 1t goes the
limit in giving a youth of Mickey's
capabilities his fling, and if the
result leaves him anywhere below
the top in box Office standing, the
public demand for the boy has
been grossly miscalculated.
There are other youngsters, nat
urally, in Babes in Arms" a tai
ented slew of them headed by
Judy Garland, Betty Jaynes, June
Preisser and Douglas McPhail All
of them enter into the spirit of the
thing with an irresistible exuber-
ance, but for all their skill and
appeal, they make the merest
challenge to the complete DOM
nance Of M-G-M's most versatile
juvenile. Were it not for him, and
that succession of surprises which
he donates so emphatically, "Babes
in Arms" would be just another
musical.
Changes were necessary in the
original to turn the piece into a field
day for Mickey. Among the other
ends they accomplished were to give
1t a stronger story structure than it
enjoyed when it was charming the
hearts of New Workers with its
bright spirit of youth. The current
tale presents Mickey as the ring
leader of a gang of vaudeville chill
dren, kids bent upon turning their
love for the stage into means of
rescuing themselves and their has
been parents from the degradation
Of poverty.
Only two of the original tunes,
"Where or When" being the impor-
tant one, remain in the film adapta-
ton. A scad of new numbers, all in
the ebullient spirit of youth, have
been interpolated. They are the
creations of such talented people as
Nacio Herb Brown, Harold Arlen,
E. Y. Harburg and Arthur Freed.
The list includes everything from a
vigorous march tune to torch num-
ber, the latter designed especially
for Miss Garland.
Mickey's surprises begin with his
piano playing, which is good even
though it may be faxed, proceed
from there to his revelation of talent
as vocalist, bull fiddle beater and
subsequently dancer. Miss Gar
land and McPhail, the latter ca
pable baritone, can sing rings around
Mickey, but that is unimportant. 1t
is unimportant, too, that Miss Preis-
ser can dance him to the sidelines
in about minute of competition.
The thing that counts is that Mickey
is creditable in every one of his
manifestations of versatility.

Comedy occasionally rears its well
come face in the form Of a frontier
funny man, but not often enough to
save the drama from being a hunk
Of horse opera.
For its contribution to the course
in American history which the
movies have been teaching lately,
R-K-O selected the story of the pio-
neers of western Pennsylvania whose
life was constant double-header
with the Indians and the British.
The Indians and British, as every
one knows, were not formally allied
against the hardy farmers but the
effect was precisely the same as If
they had been. Between the fero-
city Of the former and the inapti-
tude of the latter, life for the from
tiersmen was constant turmoil.
All the Allegheny people wanted
to do was carve the wilderness into
a land capable of supporting COL
ony Of freedom lovers, place where
they could grow their crops and
drink their rum in peace. The stub
born British could not get 1t through
their heads that there was no hope
for such thing so long as craven,
cunning traders were allowed to slip
munitions and instruments Of war
to the savages. Naturally, there
fore, the simple, idealistic, peace
loving people simply had to revolt
against that kind of situation under
the leadership of laconic James
Smith (Wayne) who led one Of the
most non-sanguinary revolts in
American history.
** ~
Neil Swanson's heroic biography
Of the redoubtable Smith, "The First
Rebel" has provided the basis Of the
screen narrative directed by William
Setter. The film version places its
stress upon the fact that between
the Indians and the English, the
latter supposed to be friendly but
actually nothing Of the kind, the
settlers had time for nothing but
war.
That, of course, makes for action
but there is very little variety in it.
The single exception to the rule Of
all battles shall look alike is single
hand-to-hand encounter between
the settlers and the Indians. In
that one, the whites, with Tarzan-
like agility and cleverness, overcome
the superior redskin forces by the
expedient of dropping down upon
them from the trees, an approach
