Wallace Beery Film
At the Columbia

Admirers Of Wallace Beery may
happily note today that the latest
episode in his cinema life, west
ern adventure in the securing OF
Death Valley for borax. entitled
"20-Mule Team" has now moved
to LoeW's Columbia for a second
week on F street. This is, we fee
compelled to say, an entertainment
that will be found engaging only
by those admirers of the gruff and
bombastic Mr.. Beery, remaining a
total loss to others. though we
hasten to add that we do find Mr.
Beery's rather skillful portrayal of
Wallace Beery diverting even yet on
a hot afternoon.
Fans of the grimy, face-smearing
shaggy, unkempt and "lovable
roughneck will have great fun in
deed as he busters through some
slightly nefarious deeds, finally un-
covers his heart of gold and helps
the nice boy claim his boraX de-
post and the hand of the ingenue
Those also above mentioned Others
will see in "20-Mule Team" merely
routine western which is none
the less routine for its substitution
OF borax claim jumping for more
familiar brands of claim jumping

somewhat startle both schools. be-

Peaceful views on the news front
are the launching of the new liner

Pianists Awarded
HOnors at Concert
BY ALICE EyERSMAN.

The final concert of the 14th piano
festival of the Washington Pianists'
Club last evening at Calvary Meth
odist Church concluded with the
awarding of badges of honor to six
young pianists who shared the three
recital programs of the festival be-
tween them. The awards were given
out by DR.. Katharine McReynolds
Morrison, founder of the club. who
took advantage of the intermission
to tell of the objectives of the club
She explained that each performer
was required to present three groups
of numbers covering the classic,
romantic and modern field of piano
composition with the ultramodern to
be used at the discretion of the
teachers. The performers are chosen
as representatives of the leading
teachers of the city.
The club has served as an incen-
tive to both teachers and pupils to
broaden their concepts of piano
playing by recitals through the year
where different points of interpre-
tation and performance could be
studied. The festival has revealed
a wealth of talent excellently pre-
pared in the many requirements for
public appearance, not the least of
which is the proper poise and man
ner of presentation.
Last evenings recital was climax
in the matter of type of program
as we'll as the introduction of two
pianists of exceptional polish in their
work The first part of the pro-
gram was given by HARLAN Meyer,
pupil of Alexander Sklarevski, whose
place at the second piano for the
concluding number was taken by
Betty Baum at Mr.. Sklarevski's re-
quest. The last half of the recital
was presented by Clarice Leiner
Levy, pupil of Benjamin Rather,
with Mr.. Rather playing the orches-
trail part of the first movement of
Beethoven's Emperor" concerto in
conclusion.
Miss Meyers program consisted of
Scarlatti's Sonata in D Major"
Bach's prelude and Fugue in F
Sharp Minor" Beethoven's Sonata
in E Major, Op 109,' Scriabin's
"Etude in C Sharp Major" Chopins
"Etude in c Sharp Minor, Op. 10.
No. 4, "Nocturne in Sharp Major"
and "Ballade in A Flat Major" and
the second and third movements of
Schumanns Concerto in A Minor"
Miss Meyer excelled in the matter
Of dynamics. shading and firm, elas-
tic technique which gave profess
sional finish to her playing.
More brilliant in style and emo
tional portrayal was the perform
ance of Miss Levy who, in addition
to a sparkling technique, has a
sensitive feeling in Interpretation.
Her program consisted of the Bach
prelude and Fugue in F Sharp
Major" Beethoven's Sonata in E
Flatt, Op. 81a," lies Adieux," !"
Chopin's "Nocturne in D Flat Major"
and "Polonaise in A Flat Major" and
the one movement of the Emperor"
concerto. She was enthusiastically
received and applauded, especially
after her fine performance of the
concerto, with the finished assist
ance of Mr.. Rather at the second
piano.
The other pianists, who performed
on Monday and Wednesday eve
nings, to receive the awards were
Charlton Meyer and Jean McCand-
lish, Rae Alice Elmer and Sally West.
The teachers represented were La

Based upon an original by Rich
ard Connell, an original which was
| turned into an amusing stage play
at Catholic University last year,
Brother Orchid" is the story of a
racketeer who reverses his past to
the extent of becoming member
OF monastery. Where the C. U.
play, by Leo Brady, was a charac-
ter study, however. the current
screen offering is comedy of sit
uation.
Robinson. at the beginning. is the
head of a gang which sells business
protection. When the story opens,
he is bored with the whole thing
abdicates in favor of his assistant
Humphrey Bogart. and goes to
Europe in order to acquire the cul-
ture he always has wanted Culture
costs money, and before the end of
year, having lost his wad, he re-
turns to resume leadership of the
old gang.
When it turns out not to want
him, he organizes a rival outfit,
only to be shot for his pains and end
up in monastery Mark Hellinger
who wrote the script, is given broad
opportunity to write some brilliantly
different dialogue under circum-
stances such as these, and he takes
full advantage of it. Contrast be-
tween the gangster vernacular and
the normally quiet speech of those
in the monastery is one of the film s
best features.
Love interest is provided by Ann
Sothern, dopey female with
romantic notions with reference to
Robinson. For all her devotion to
him, however, she never is able to
lead him to the altar. Her efforts
in this direction reach a high point
in a sequence in which. Stimulating
lnebriation. she calls him from a
night club to make peace between
the various members of the gang
If Miss Sothern ever did better Job
OF delivering comedy lines, it is not
matter of record.
Lloyd Bacon. who directed Broth
er orchid has done one of his more
adroit pieces of work. His char
acters are familiar types, but their
different situations and the speed
with which they move through them
constantly divert the audience from
aWareness of that fact. In addition
to Robinson and Miss Sothern. there
is excellent playing by number of
other of Warmers better gangsters,
Bogart, Allen Jenkins, Donald Crisp,
Cecil Kellaway. etc.
Cardini, the magician who can do
more tricks with cards and cigar
cites than any other sleight-of hand
man you know, headlines the stage
show which Harry Anger has ar
ranged for the current week. 1t is
the same act that he has done be-
fore, here and elsewhere, but it is
done with such sickness that its
familiarity makes no difference.
Lynn, Royce and Vanya are a
dance team full of comedy, Vic HYDE
does one-man band act, the
Roxyettes do two routines, a chime
bit being especially adroit, and the
Hollywood canine mimics complete
a stage show that is highly amusing.
