decorous actor. .".-
The life led by young Tom Edison
in M-G-M's new biographical fable
is something to subdue any one, Of
course, even Mickey Rooney. Never
were young Toms curiosity and in
genuity appreciated by any but his
mother and sister, the film would

agable by his unimaginative teacher.
The townspeople of Port Huron, in
cluding his father, consider Tom
"addled" and spend much of their
time jeering at him therefor.
His father takes the strap to him
and a railroad conductor four times
his size boxes his ears and tosses
him from train. We prefer to
think that the boyhood life of cur
greatest inventor was just little
less trying. Living through these
episodes which Mickey Rooney
faces would have marked Edison
psychologically for life and he never
would have invented anything, not
even pictures that move.

Second Week
For Grapes
At Palace

Since it is already set for posi-
ton on every 10-best list (unless
Hollywood turns out some magifi-
cent films during the remainder of
this year, it is not surprising to find
Grapes of Wrath" remaining at
Loew's Palace for a second week.
This is truly distinguished photo
play, one of which not only Daryl
Zanuck, the producer; Nunnally
johnson, the scenarist and asso-
ciate producer. and John Ford, the
director, but the entire cinema in
dustry may we'll be proud.
Turning John Steinbeck's dra-
matte novel about the tenant farm
ers who were driven to the aimlesS
wanderings of migratory workers
when their good earth blew away on
the busters" was no easy task. Ed
iting Mr.. Steinbeck's fortnight and
occasionally colorful language was
the easiest part of the job. No so
easy, however, was the business of
conforming to the spirit of the
original, the remorseless reporting
on the affairs of the 'Oakies,"
driven from their farms, driven
everywhere, finally in California
their promised land" driven by
fruit growers taking advantage of a
labor surplus at their orchard gates.
But Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Ford
have proved themselves equal to
the task and in Grapes of Wrath"
they have a film which truly adds
stature to the motion picture. 1t is
not pretty, for Mr.. Ford and his
players. Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell,
John Carradine and the others,
have created an impression of real
ism that would shake the very
foundations of an ivory tower. But
it is q beautiful film, this Grapes
of Wrath" from the standpoint of
its approach to perfection in the
telling of its story.
You will not like the story of the
Joad's fight westward to hope,
their flight ever from hunger,
their flight finally into nowhere as
the film leaves them bound for an
other orchard certain that this time
life will come back. 1t becomes
downright brutal on occasions, as a
matter of fact. But you owe it to
yourself to see "Grapes of Wrath"

Grace Moore
At BelascO
In'LOuise'

To bring Grace Moore back to
the cinema, the French have sur
rounded her with two of their more
able singers. Andre Pernet and
Georges Thill; placed the Paris
Symphony Orchestra in the record
ing studio with her, and plopped
her down in the middle of the film
version of Gustave Charpentier's
opera, Louise" The picture. which
opened last night at the Belasco
Theater, is a treat for music lovers.
M. Charpentier's score is a rich one,
richly played by the Paris Sym
phony, under the baton of Louis
Beydts. And these three people
in the leading roles-our Miss Moore
and Frances Messrs. Pernet and
Thill-sing them with considerable
enthusiasm.
1t is a treat for music lovers, all
right. But there is a suspicion
lurking somewhere around the type
writer here that, though there may
be a place for opera on the screen,
Louise" Is not exactly that opera.
Mr.. Deems Taylor, in his English
foreword to the film, says it is the
Oldest story in the world, a point
on which it is easy to agree with
such an eminent authority. The
oldest story in the world may be
all right on the opera stage, of
course, but the movies keep telling
us the oldest stories in the world
so often that each additional one
hurts
Louise" in case you, too, never
saw it before, is about poor but
lovely girl who def1es parental ire
to run off with a young composer
and become queen of the Mont
martre. When her father becomes

there Is not merit in young Tom

of merit. Charge its threatrics OF

remaining a soundly entertaining
geographically inspired drama, with
considerable humor and not too
much combined hokum and bathos
Mickey, as we may have hinted
back there, has turned in a sterling
performance, creating a likeable
young inventor-to-be in a manner
which should please the Edison fans
equally as much as the Rooney
fans. And he has done this to the
tune Of some fine supporting per-
formances, especially those of Fay
Banter as young Tom Edison's un-
derstanding mother, George Ban
croft as his misunderstanding IA
ther, and Virginia Weidler, who is
going to become one of our four
favorite actresses If she isn't very
careful.
Altogether these people out at
M-G-M have contrived an enjoyable
cinema fiction from fact and legend
remembered from Edisons early life,
But we still think it is a free trans
lation and that the hero's name
could be Horatio Alger just as aptly
as it is Tom Edison. And we do
not think any young lad of IS or
16, destined for greatness, ever
limited that greatness by saying to
his sister as they trudged down the
road to school: There are so many
things in this world I want to
know. That grass over there; why
is it green? Why isn't it purple
or black or Yellow" If he did,
we'll bet his sister wasn't inter-
ested.
Any stage show which promises
both the Ebsens and Marjorie
Gainsworth can be accepted as 80
per cent top-notch before it even
starts. And the Capitols stage
show this week has as its featured
performers Wilma and Buddy Ebsen
and Marjorie Gainsworth, not to
mention several other people who
are good too.
Not much more remains to be said
of Miss GainSworth's way with a
song here, until we receive a new
supply of laudatory adjectives to
replace those already used in de-
scribing her. Her program this
time ranges from musical comedy
to popular ballad to a lively ex-
hibition piece from the classics and
she certainly can sing a song. When
Miss G. wraps a high one around
the Capitol's chandelier and lets it
hang there, life is beautiful.
Life is beautiful, too, when the
Ebsens are around. one of the
brightest moments of recent months
being that when Buddy says Here
she is" and then Sister Wilma is
out there dancing again (And fie
on the first citizen who says 'Ebsens
make the heart grow fonder.")
Other things you should be told
about the Capitol stage show are
that Producer Gene Ford has
whipped up something magnificent
with cherry blossoms for the
Rhythm Rockets, that it has a ven
triloquist named Bob Neller whose

"Virginia City" Now
At METROPOLITAN

Lovers of the derring-do, the loud
and lusty and pictorially expansive
films wherein the action is fast
and furious and continuous, will now
find Virginia City" at the metro
politan for a second downtown
week. This is, you must have read
somewhere, the one about the S.
100000 gold shipment which was
scheduled to win the War Between
the States for the Confederacy, but
about which several other people
had different ideas.
One of the people with different
ideas in Virginia City" is that
veteran of Warner Bros most ex-
citing action, Mr.. Enrol Flynn. Mr..
Flynn is a Union officer and in this
capacity he causes no end of trouble
for Mr.. Randolph Scott of the Con-
federacy. The matter of the $5, 900, :
600 in gold is further complicated
by the lust for it of a fellow i'm
personated by Humphrey Bogart.
And the matter Of Mr. Flynn and
Mr.. Scott is considerably COM
plicated by the presence in Virginia
City (both the city and the flln) of
