The Newspaper Women have de-

precedence for first come, first
served" Thus some Of Washingtons s
social big-wigs will find themselves
IN balcony seats when the RAYMOND
Massey film is unveiled for the first
time.
Proceeds Of the premiere benefit
are to be devoted toward the main
tenance Of bed in Children's Hos
pital and to the Newspaper Women's

Too Many Crooks
Spoil the Froth

Too many sophisticated and
slightly zany detectives and their
sophisticated and slightly zany wives
have chased crooks in the past few
years for the antics of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nick Charles to retain all their orig
lnal luster. But the formula, as it
is exemplf1ed in Another Thin
Man," now at Loew's Columbia for
a second downtown week, has not
become completely dull by any
means.
The script writer's and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles, who are, of course,
William Powell and Myrna 10y, have
seen to this. For this third film in
the series the scenarists have pro-
yided script which, while in the
same light vein as Of yore, is consid-
erably more on the dramatic side
than preceding Thin Man" affairs.
Maybe melodramatic would be a
better word, for this all becomes so
involved you are sure it never will
be solved and are not quite pre.
pared to believe 1t when it is, logical
though it may be.
The comic mood benefits more
from the playing of Miss 10y and
Mr.. Powell than from any fresh
ness or novelty it might have. This
is both because 1t does not have any
freshness or novelty and because
Miss 10y and Mr.. Powell have such
glib manner at this sort Of thing.
You may feel you have been here
before on several occasions, but it
is nice to have Mr.. Powell back in
the fold and Miss 10y Is many a
citizens idea of the woman who
could draw a guy back into the fold.

that of Lennie, played by CLANCY,
1r. Chaney not only fits the phys
ical specifications Of the role, but
Is sufficiently an adroit actor to
depict Lennie as a figure Of tragic
proportions, a monster only in sheer
bulk. Meredith's impersonation Of
the shrewd, sharp George who
stands between Lennie and the
world, who gives the latter under
standing and pity, Is q masterful
portrait; one Of those quiet pieces
OF understatement that vivifies the
character impressively. >.

Mae. Miss Field easily does her finest
plecesof screen work to date, an ex-
cellent fulf1llment of the promise
which she took from Broadway to
Hollywood. The same degree of skill
marks the work of the Group
Theater's Roman Bohnen as the
humble, frightened Candy, janitor
OF that ranch bunkhouse which pro-
vides the background of so much of
the pathos and violence of this
highly unusual screen story.
