Kanin's Direction
Makes Picture
Screen Gem

1t is the basic weakness of the
motion picture that it represents
the collaboration of too many too
diverse talents. Every now and
then, however. there comes along
a picture in which the talents Goa
lesce so happily that the result is
a remarkable screen drama Such
a one is They Knew What They
Wanted" the Charles Laughton-
Carole Lombard project which is
now in its second week at Keith's.
Here is a story of the passions
of a group Of little people. wrestling
their living from the soil, their SIM
pie happiness from friendship, un-
derstanding and love. II Is a search
ing and delicate investigation Of
these little lives, most especially
those of sanity middle-aged fruit
farmer, the young ex-waitress whom
he adores and the young ranch
foreman, who constitutes the final
bend in the tragic triangle. AS the
late Sidney Howard wrote it to win
a Pulitzer play prize in 1924, it
showed a younger couple unable to
cope with the basic passion, old
Tony alone possessed of philosophy
which enabled him to understand
and forgive. That is the way, in
its full drama, it comes to the screen
under Carson Kanin's direction.
AS old Tony. the excitable, lovable.
adoring, simple philosopher, Laugh
ton gives a rarely fine performance,
the first one in which he has por-
trayed a kindly character since Hol-
lywood learned what a fine villain
he could be- AS Amy, the girl who
wanted to be worthy Of Tony's love
but couldn't find the ability in her
simple, earthly nature, Miss Lom-
bard also is excellent.
For that matter. so are all the
others, especially William Gargan,
in this human tale toll with such
humaity by Kanin's skillful direc-
ton and Robert Ardrey's under
standing writing. J.C.

fly in the ointment in his elegant,

1t was a fight scene in a Michael

the sequence in which with millions

OF a lawless Judge in screen history,
THE Westerner' Is a nice slice of
screen entertainment
Samuel Goldwyn. who produced
the picture and kept it sealed in the
can for a whole semester. has
achieved an unusual thing in one
aspect Of his picture. Instead of
making it thing of teeming ac-
ton, thing Of more or less con-
slant gunfire, he has chosen to do
some fine character studies.
Best of the lot is Brennan's por-
trait of Judge Bean, an engaging
old scoundrel. who takes over the
administration of justice on his own
authority. A cattleman and natural
enemy of the grain farmer who tries
TO crash the grazing lands, the judge
spends his time alternately harass-
ing the homesteaders and worship
ing Lily Langtry. The fact that he
never has seen Miss Langtry, much
less met her, only deepens the
judges alteration. When everything
else fails a chance to drink her
health is about the only thing that
keeps him from hanging innocent
men or setting fire to the home

ROckne's Life
Gives Met
Film
Warmers Picture
Thorough Study
OF Great Coach

Whatever they remind others Of,
lives of great men suggest dramatic
and profitable motion pictures to
Warner Bros. Latest great life to
have that effect is that Of the late
Knute Rockne, the biggest name
in football, which is a very large
field in which to be the biggest
name. The resultant screen drama,
"Knute Rockne - All American"
now at the Metropolitan, is quite
worthy OF the man whose career
and memory it honors.
With Pat O'Brien in the title role
the picture is no mere sketch of
Rockne's life but rather a successful
effort to find the meaning of his
career in terms of his inspiration
to young America Its major en-
phasis naturally is upon Rockne' S
influence as a football coach. the
greatest in the history of the game.
But its enjoyment is not limited to
those interested in football. for this
is the drama of a great character
whose life covered a wider orbit
than the l00-yard rectangle which
fascinates Saturdays millions.
Rockne is shown also as a chap who
could have been a great research
chemist, who was fine student. an
awkward suitor, a loving but absent
minded husband. proud father, etc.
Football enthusiasts will be re-
warded with some neat expositions
of how Rockne achieved his ap-
parent miracles. some fine action
shots showing the miracles in mo-
ton.
The picture has been excellently
cast throughout, given the ring of
authenticity by keeping its few de-
partures from the text within the
realm of dramatic license. J.C.

tween-3Strike Up the Band" is one
of those affairs which will frighten
many ordinary mortals while it is
making the Mickey Rooney fans as
happy as they can be.
That's the only way to make an
estimate of the merits of this one.
If you admire the Rooney lad, if his
energies delight you instead of firing
you, you'll love Strike Up the

playing the drums, waxing philo-
sophie, wooing Judy Garland in the

melodrama and dancing the conga
