producer Howard Hawks has as
sembled one of the most capable
casts you ever saw. Cary Grant is
the chief Of the band of daredevils,
a hard flying, hard drinking, lightly
loving crew. The distaff side of the
drama presents pretty, competent
Jean Arthur in a new kind of role.
q girl who fuses Sophistication and
simple wistfulness into a beautiful
combination for getting her man.
Another nice casting touch is the
resurrection of Richard Barthelmess
Mr. BarthelmeSs comes back from
the land of forgotten movie men to
play the role of a disSolute aviator
trying to re-establish himself in
polite society and he does it with
quite satisfying results.
All these rapscallions and a num-
ber of others, all appealing enough,
do their cute, quick and daring
tricks against background that

lays the brave fellows every possible
kind of stymie that permits the
cameraman to photograph thrill
flying Spectacular crashes, fires,
wild storms and other phenomena
designed to flip you right out of
your seat fairly abound in the script
Of the film. Mr.. Hawks has con-
trived them with great skill and
the fact that some of the best of
them simply had to be make-be-
lieve never penetrates conscious
ness In other, shorter words, it's
all very realistic.
There is a deal of comedy in
the affairs of these alluring people
and romance, too, rears its pretty
head behind almost every tropical
bush on the set. The hard-bitten
flyer who is Grant has plenty of
time for comedy and drama, but
love, which made a sap of him
once. is something for which he is
not in the mood in spite of Miss
Arthur's patent loveliness and her
practically profound tendency to
adore him.
Their affair makes nice little
conflict element for the drama when
there is a lull in the one between
the flyers and the storms. 1t is
very ably handled by both parties
to it. so ably by Grant that one
gets the notion that he is on his
way to being an alternative heart
ache for any feminine fans who may
have grown tired of yearning for
Clark Gable.

hard-drinking grandpappy of the
lass who gives the Kid tremors and
the latter two are very fine indeed
as the Cisco Kids cronies. We es-
pecially liked Mr.. Romero on ac-
count of his sad plight: the boss
will never let him kill anybody or
burn down house.
Gene Ford has turned up again
with another top-notch revue for
the Capitol's stage. It's called
Worlds Fair Flashes" but after
an opening chorus by the Rhythm
Rockets singing of Mr.. Whalen's
show, things go pretty circusy. Best
OF all are some novelties plucked
straight from the side-shoW busi-
ness-a gal who swallows swords
that long and another who escapes
from strait jacket while sus-
pended by her feet, both introduced
by real carnival barkers. It's mag
nificent.
More fun, too, than raft of
comedy acts you have seen is the
one done by the Gaudesmith Broth
ers. They have a trio of French
poodles which are slapstick comics
and that is something not to be
missed. And no cracks about who
called that comedian a dog?"
Also woven into this neatly staged
revue are the antics of Frank Gaby.

The Gorilla
Stars
The Rites
Old Thriller Is New
Vehicle for the
Comedy Trio

Maybe The Gorilla is the vehicle
the Ritz brothers have needed. At
any rate those who have thought
the title of the new picture at the
Columbia indicated the discovery Of
a fourth Ritz will find their antics
not SO painful in this film. There's
lot going on to keep your mind off
the Rites, for one thing, in this
both daffy and scary version of the
old thriller. But it will be best to
recommend The Gorilla" only to
those who find the Ritz comedy
style irresistible and not to those of
us who sit solemn and uncomforta-
BILE in the presence of gales of mer-
riment over some boiSterouS antic
of the trio.
For, after all, the Rites are the
Rites and, like opium, you either
take them or you don't: there's no
halfway point. This time the lads
are cast as three private detectives,
a situation which their fans in last
nights audience seem to have found
practically ecstatic. Around them
has been adapted The Gorilla" of
some years ago and much of the
time it is fine and frightful comedy.
1t is at its best when Patsy Kelly
is having the daylights scared out
Of her, when miscellaneous people
turn up in strange places, when hid
den panels slide, when hairy arms
reach out in the darkness to clutch
at Anita Louises lovely feminine
throat. when screams of horror tor
ture the air. And even some of the
Ritz encounters with the gorilla are
funnier than you might expect.
To help make the scary moments
scarier the Twentieth Century, Fox
studio has peopled The Gorilla"
with several citizens you always sus-
pect-Lionel Atwill. Bella Lugosi and
Joseph Calleia. It's some fun in
spite of the Rites Cor because of
them If you're on that side of the
argument. H. M.

Now honesty overcoming the Cisco

Trout Anglers Woes.
The Maryland trout season is a
week old now and some good and
some bad reports have been heard
Most frequent report is that the
State didn't plant as many fish as
it claimed in Hunting Creek up in
Frederick County. or if it did then
something must have happened to
them. The real trouble is that
10000 trout spread around the State
in all the stocked streams are far
from adequate to meet the demands
made by almost that number of
anglers.
About the same number of
fish are availa BILE for planting
from time to time during the
season. but even these added
do not make an impressive
total.
With conditions as they are. lots
of anglers and few fish. it is small
wonder that the available public
water is growing smaller year by
year. Wealthy sportsmen for their
own protection are buying and
leasing the good streams, stocking
them and closing them to the gen.
eral public. We common people
are left out in the cold on poor
streams with few and no fish. Trout
fishing today is highly synthetic and
it is necessary almost to follow the
hatchery truck around to get trout
or two.
In spite of the conditions. how
ever, 1t still is grand to be able to
get out on a stream, even though
we get no fish.
