Sts. Peter and Paul Club Shades Favored North
 Enders lO-9
RECREATION

The last place Sts. Peter and Paul team rose up in defiance yesterday and in an 11-inning contest edged the league leading North End Pals, 10-9. This loss for the Pals drew up the Blessed Sacraments who had won yesterday over the Waterville nine, 17-l, into a tie for first pace in the Public Parks League. The Lib- erty Stars forfeited their game with the Aviglianese when they failed to appear with their full quota of men.
 Despite a run lead taken in the early innings, the Pals faltered and lost out to the Saints when the East Enders sneaked @ run across in the 11th inning for their surprise victory.
 Under a 21-hit spree, the Blessed Sacs, led by Joe Kalosky and Ralph Bradley, seemingly scored at will for their 17-1 win.

Overtime


 At the end of seven innings Over looks and Brooklyns had two runs apiece and that is how the game stood until the teams went Il in- nings, when four runs gave the Brooks much needed 6-3 win and a spot standing just a half-game behind the Thomas club. It was "Joe Strokalaitis Day" the Brooklyn club and fans giving Joe a watch and the proceeds of collection, but his pitching was matched pretty well by Frank Marcellus, ex-Wilby finger, who walked three men in the fifth, one with the bases loaded to force in a run. An error in the eleventh, on a ball lit to "Tochs" Martino brought :n Two runs and the ball game, two more scoring later while McGrath's single in the last half of the 11th was good for a score when Martino lost the ball in the outfield. Tn the third Strokalaitis retired the side on three pitched balls. Sum- mary.

Gale Sondergaard turning up to
sneer every time there is q slight
disorder.
You never can be certain, either,
that Mr.. Hope is coming through
this alive, If you would Judge from
the reaction toward him of every
one else in this gloomy house (the
mansion In the bayou not the Capt.
tol Theater). But Mr.. H. does come
through, very much alive. just as
he is what The Cat and the
Canary" needed. so is The Cat and
the Canary" what he has needed.
1t gives him a fine role and he has
a rollicking time.
Thanks to Jackie Heller, the
members Of the Ballet Intime and
several other people, the Capitol's
stage show this week is an engaging
vaudeville revue. Young Mr.. Heller
sings a whole raft Of popular songs,
everything from the lively Comes
Love" to the sweet, sad strains Of
South Of the Border" being highly
approved by the customers. The
four girls Of the Ballet Intime ap-
pear twice, with male partner for
their exotic Haitian dance and

Ravel's "Bolero," both numbers be-
ing exciting modern dance inter-
pretations.
The other people who make the
show bright are the Radio Ram
blers, whose comedy is comic and
the Four Franks, whose swing. in
strumental and danced, is swingy.

hasn't got q chance and the blood
curdling affairs on the Capitol
screen are fine fun.
This new version of THE Cat and
the Canary" seems, with the excep-
ton of the Hope touch. much the
same series of adventures as those
which once frightened the daylights
out Of Laura LaPlante and those
fans fearful for her safety. This
time it is Paulette Goddard who
goes quietly to bed only to leap not
so quietly from bed when a panel in
the wall slides back and q hand
reaches for her throat. Miss God
dard does not illumine this piece
with any great show of dramatic
talent, but she is capable enough
and she is the sort Of girl who
arouses some sympathy when hairy
claws reach for her swan-like
throat.
1t Is not necessary for Miss God
dard, or anyone else involved, to
arouse any great amount Of sympa-
thy, Of course. for The Cat and
the Canary" has become . comedy,
something of a rollicking Roadside
Theater melodrama, instead Of the
whodunit 1t once was. Even with
out having seen the original version
when 1t was a mystery thriller the
elementary student Of. the cinema
can discover the villain of "The Cat
and the Canary by that simple
process Of eliminating everyone but
the one person who appears inno-
cent.
Any one who is interested can do
this, that is, but there is little point
in worrying about 1t. None of the
people concerned seems to have
been very serious about these
affairs. from Director Elliott Nugent
down to the crocodiles in the bayou.
Mr.. Elliott has his people sinking

you certain that the next 10 feet

hilariously gruesome murder at

The Rains Came
At Columbia

For those who missed "The Rains
Came" at the Palace, let 1t be re-
corded that the Columbia has fallen
heir to the picture based upon Louis
Bromfield's popular tale of disaster
and dramatic people in Ranchipur,
India. Produced by goth Century,
Fox and starring Myrna 10y, George
Brent and Tyrone Power, the film
keeps excellent faith with Mr..
Bromfield's best seller. The fierce,
unremitting rains, the earthquake,
flood, fire, disease and other natural
phenomena offer violent competition
to the players involved. The latter,
however, managed to hold up their
end Of the story very capably.
In addition to introducing Miss
10y in the role of an unscrupulous
lady (well. she's Lady Esketh), the
picture is notable for its use Of new
conner Brenda Joyce. Miss Joyce is
very promising, but neither she nor
Miss 10y can keep the best bit OF
acting in the picture from that of
being Madame Ouspenskaya's i'm
personation of the aristocratic
Maharanee. J.C.

(Ameche), whose sole objective is
to make the kind Of pictures he
wants and the heck with everything
and everybody. Sometimes that
character has qualities which arouse
pity, if not affection and admira-
tion, but MIR. Ameche's artist never
manages to be more than q bull
headed bore.
In the early stages of his career
when he Is making her internation-
ally known as the most beautiful
catcher of custard pies in human
history, Miss Faye is in love with
the dope. After years Of giving
her, and the audience, the impress
sion that she is no more than q
pretty blob of talent for his camera,
he goes alcoholically daffy when
she marries some one else. In q
picture of lesser Importance, which
that story has made on numerous
occasions, what happened to
Ameche would not make much dif-
ference. That, it happens here is
irritating for It gets in the way of
things that are much more fas-
cinating.
The fact is that the essential
spirit of Hollywood Cavalcade" is
one of comedy and Ameche's part
intrudes upon it.
Miss Faye probably does her best
work, and certainly she is more
beautiful, in this technicolor tale of
Hollywood. No one ever looked 20
captivating dripping custard from
every feature, but that is not the
limit OF her contribution. She also
has opportunity to sing q few wisps
OF wistful music and to be dramatic
at erEant moments when heart
break is her parts need.
A great many facets of motion
picture making are Illuminated by
this most lavish Of Mr.. Zanuck 8
pictures. The production of silen:
pictures, the battle Of the movies
in the early days to lure stage per-
sonalities to the new entertainment
medium, the construction of gigan-
TIC plants, together with flashes OF
direction, the invention of sound.
etc., are shown. Even financing.
and, OF course, Hollywood social life
from the starvation days to the
opuient present, are touched upon.
These details tally up as interest
ing material for one of the most
ambitious films the industry has
made. And they make a highly en-
tertalnlng one even If it missed the
pinnacle Of its ambition.
