In addition to the travail, agreeably
amusing, into which the plot throws
Young, it also gives opportunity for
Eleanor Powell to turn in three of
the best dance numbers which she
has done in long time. One of
them is a rope-skipping tap and
another is the stair tap routine of
Bill Robinson. The latter is an ex-
cellent imitation, the hit of the
three. Bigger from the production
standpoint is the finale of the
dances, an elaborate combination of
the hula and Miss Powell's own in
dividual technique.
Not new is the comedy of Homo

Mr.. Young handles it is pleasant

practically an impossibility since
the most immature mind in the au-
dience knows that in that script the
hero invariably escapes. The in
terest evoked as substitute is that

difference between this and previous
versions of the same story is the
lack of indignation in it. The police
and prosecutor have to take some
Furnishing commentaries, but they
are presented mainly in the guise
of victims of ircumstance-quite
like the lads they railroad to the
last stop before electrocution. It
really is quite novel and pleasant
to see the situation treated more
with compassion than bitterness
1t enhances the grimness of the tale
and keeps the players from becom-

'Gunga Din Remains
At Keith s, Backed
By March of Time

Spectacle has hard time remem-
bering to be entertaining when it
comes out of Hollywood, but not
when the spectacle happens to be
"Gunga Din." which is in its third
week at Keith's. The old semi
classic tale of the gallant bhisti
comes from R-K-O as zone of its
mightiest accomplishments in pro-
viding audiences with violent action
and sound characterization. Inter-
larded is enough comedy to do con-
siderably more than relieve the ten
sion between the prodigious battles
involving the British forces and the
Indian natives. A new Maroh of
Time enhanced the interest of the
bill.
There are four outstanding per-
formances among the multitude of
characters which Ben Hecht and
Charles Macarthur wrote into their
screen drama. One of them is that
of Sam Jaffe as Din, the others
those Of Victor McLaglen, Cary
Grant and Douglas Fairbanks, jr.
The last three give the story the
zip Of Dumas Three Musketeers.
Their roles are those of three tough
and terrible sergeants in the Queens
army, men who fight and drink
fiercely and have a magnificent time
in the process of empire building.
"Gunga Din." so vastly concerned
with heroics, has little time for dal-
lance with the theme of love. The
subject Is not ignored, but it is given
the brush-oh, and not to the pic
lures disadvantage either.
"Gunga Din" is easy to recon-
mend, especially after the practice
we have had In recommending it
during the past two weeks. j. c.

the innocent lad as the murderer
and the deadly chain of circum-
stances is forged link by link from
that point on. Fonda gives the part
deal Of conviction. AS for the
others, Maureen O'Sullivan shows
further signs of improvement in the
part OF the fiancee of the innocent
man who surrenders everything to
find the clues which the police
missed. Another stock character is
that OF the human police lieutenant
who courts suspension-and gets it
for believing the prisoners side
of the story instead of that worked
up by his fellow officers. The heresy
is nicely handled by Ralph Bellamy.
The minstrAl show has just about
everything in it, variety Of special
ties that gives it agreeable move
ment except at such moment as the
interlocutor and the end men are
"joshing" as the idiom has it. The
Roxyettes get it of to a fast start
with good old strutting routine and
before it is over they do two others,
the best of which is a cake walk
which comes midway in the cere-
monies.
The vocal interludes are provided
by a double quartet, the Ambassa-
doris, whose selections are very much
like those of any other octet. Other
features include a scopish group of
vocal limitations by Bill Ames, the
best one of which seems to be that
of Jimmy Durante. Kay Hamilton
adds another facet to the stream
lining of the show by injecting some
swing vocauzations and Ray Royce
further animates it with some rather
violent tumbling acrobatics.
