or Muni's playing that eve Are
Not Alone" is such an engrossing
affair for all its somber nature. The
cast has been chosen with high skill
and among its other members,
young Jane Bryan gives the per-
formance Of career that has
famed with promise in her last sew
eral pictures.
Miss Bryan is Leni, the sweet,
honest, simple, unaffected compile
ment to the nature of the little doc
tor. Every color of the character,
its sincerity, its utter lack of sophis-
tication, its childlike gaiety, its un-
asking, natural affection for DR..
NeWcome, all these are caught in
the impersonation of the naive Aus
trian girl by the brightest of Warner
Bros. adolescents.
Sentiment is the essence of I'VE
Are Not Alone" but it never be-
comes sticky even in scenes which
must have made it a temptation.
Among these are that in which the
doctor rescues Leni after her at
tempted suicide, when they later
spend a day at an amusement park
with his unhappy, frightened child,
ana when the conventional, unlov-
Ing wife of the doctor unreasonable
orders Leni from their home where
She has worked SO happily and sue
cessfully as governess.
No conventional romance is that
between DR.. Newcome and the
Warm-hearted girl for in their COM
plete absence of self-awareness
neither recognizes the emotion that
exists between them. 1t is not until
the climactic trial scene, that the
fact Of their love is recognized and
admitted by the doctor in what is
the high point of the film.
1t is not to the credit of the pic
ture that it takes such a long and
devious route to reach an ending
after this point, but its sluggishness
here only slightly mars its merit.
II Is weakness that will be readily
forgotten, while DR.. Newcome is a
character who will remain long in
memory.
Eddie LeBaron's Orchestra, filling
the air with spirited Latin American
music, constitutes the Earle's stage
attraction this week. For those who
like that singing kind of swing, 1t
will prove worthy affair. For those
who don't, there will be a very con-
siderable screen feature for compen-
sation. This department belongs In
the latter group.
The dancing, also spirited. is the
chore Of Ted Rodriguez, a talented
Taper, and the LaConga dancers,
eight girls who go about their work
with admirable exuberance.
Mr.. LeBaron's soloist is Linda
Marshall, sturdy girl who performs
Jumping 1--WE" and Swing for Sale
In traditional swing style.

people who probably thought at
the time that they were making a
gay and engaging motion picture.
Anyhow the Capitols stage show,
"The Big Little Show" is a lively
and diverting affair, guaranteed to
entertain.
For stars, Gene Ford, who pro-
duced the revue, has imported
Harriet Hoctor, Sam Jack Kaufman,
Everett Marshall, some lesser
known but withal talented folk, and
all of their doings have been wov-
en- into smooth ensemble. Mr..
Kaufman, back here after an alb
sence of some years, is the chap
who does huch of the weaving to-
gether in his role of master of
ceremonies, a chore he commands
gracefully. His best contribution,
however, is the overture he con-
ducts-a version of the Poet and
Peasant" overture as it might sound
If Won Zuppe were modern COM
poser. It's masterpiece of mu-
sical hilarity when Mr.. Kaufman
clips his brass section in mid Swing
and you discover the strings carry
ing on faithfully through it all with
Won zuppe's original melody.
Miss Hoctor's two dances, as any
one would expect, are a delight to
the eye. A balletomane might wish
that copyright restrictions did not
force her to substitute an arrange
ment of "Speakeasy Bolero" for the
RaVel music on one occasion,
"Speakeasy" being not quite one
with her dance, in merit or in mood.
But this perhaps is quibbling, for in
each of her appearances it is ex-
citing to watch and marvel at that
technique which must make Miss
Hoctor' . something of Mischa
Elman of the ballet.
There's a lot more, too, to this
big Little Show" There is
clown named Renna, who brings off
some bright pantomimiory, there
are some diverting novelties by the
Rhythm Rockets, there are songs
land very fine ones you may be sure)
by Everett Marshall, there are some
musical doings by Ted Lester, there
Is slapstick of the better sort by
Marian Bellett and the English
brothers. And it is all topped off
with patriotic note, a practically
spectacular finale involving almost
the entire cast in the world premiere
OF song about the Western Hemis-
phere's favorite ocean, Atlantic,

Brahany, wartime secretary to

In Film
Palace Continues
Babes in Arms
Second Week

Babes in Arms" that musical Of
youthful zest which was such a
brilliant tonic for Broadway's hallu-
cination it was Hamlet, is on its
way to an equally happy destiny
as a movie starring Mickey Rooney
and Judy Garland. M-G-M's most
irrepressible pair proved far too
appealing to Palace customers to
get away without a second week.
That is where they can be found
by those who have not yet seen
the enormity of Mickey's talent,
revealed for the first time as cov-
ering singing, dancing, skill on the
drums, piano. bass fiddle directing
and mimicry. Those who have
thought of him in terms of his
Andy Hardy portraits are destined
for the surprise of their lives when
they see him cutting so many new
and creditable capers as the focal
point in Babes in Arms"
Mickey's antics, and those of the
other kids and their elders, are
strung along a substantial, If famil-
lar, story in the Palace film. 1t
is the tale of how a second genera
ton of vaudeville performers, on
the verge of being sent to a state
Institution because their parents
are out of work, whip up Broad
way success and drive the wolf
from q score of doors
A plot like that is just the thing
to give the Rooney lad field
day, not to mention that it offers
opportunity for a score of other
adolescent specialists to display
their talents. In addition to Judy,
this group includes June Preisser,
Betty James and Douglas McPhail,
the former an acrobatic dancer of
high skill, the latter two vocalists.

wood correspondent you read), who
discovers her husband (Tyrone
Power) is not true to her. He is
running around with his secretary,
impersonated by Wendy Barrie, and
we don't blame him, for Miss
Darnell, who showed such promise
in her first picture, this time per-
forms in rather juvenile manner,
which indicates the boys might have
had good dramatic expose of the
child-bride situation If they'd used
mountain tops instead Of pent-
houses for settings.
But be that as it may, this young
matron decides she will find out
what it is that secretaries have,
so becomes the amanuensis of an
architect named Warren William.
The climax Gf this really is a plot
is arrived at when the two men
make date to meet at a night
club, arrive dragging their secre-
taries behind them. Then in due
time Miss Darnell discovers Ty
never was really unfaithful, so lets
him out of the dog house and Mr..
William presumably must hire a
new secretary. We hope he thought

OF murder, and at last unjust exc
cution. All of them leave him un-
