War Flames Seen
At the Trans.Iux

The bitter drama of war, it seems
hardly necessary to say, is the drama
on the Trans-Lux screen this week.
Cities are bombed, the British Navy
and the Nazi air force battle, refu-
Gees are attacked, troops swing into
action, big French guns flame, Bel
gium is invaded, the Germans
clinch their gains in Norway. In
addition to these latest newsreel
accounts from more recent fronts,
Trans-Lux has also another ac-

Sherwood's bittersweet tale OF
love in wartime has been recast
considerably to fit the moral meas
urements of the screen. There is
no ground for complaint, however,
that the picture at the Palace IS a
mutilation of the original. Metro
Goodwin Mayer has seen to 1t that
it remained a story worthy OF its
star, an effective answer to those
who wondered what was left after
Scarlet. Well, there was Myra,
the little ballet dancer, as innocent
a victim as bitter fate ever chose
for its own. Miss Leigh makes her
one of the memorable characters
of the screen with a performance
that is the chief distinction of a
film that will break a million hearts.
waterloo Bridge" despite re-
visions, remains the story of pair
of lovers pitiably trapped in the
madness of war. 1t was the last
war-the one that was to have been
the last-which provides the back
ground of the poignant drama, but
the latest one has been cleverly in
terwoven into the movement of the
narrative.
Even had it not been, one war
is as good as another for show
ing what can happen to the most
innocent, lofty, dreaming individ-
uals. The one which is the sub
ject of Waterloo Bridge" brings
two young and completely charm
ing people. She, Myra, is lovely
young ballet dancer. He, Roy, is
a captain of artillery. Between
them springs up an idyllic love,
but before they can be married he
is called to the front. The girl is
dismissed from the ballet with a
loyal companion, Poverty lays des-
perate hanos upon them, against
which Myra fights desperately until
the report of the young mans death
reduces her to a despair in which,
unable to resist longer, she resorts
to the so-called "easiest way"
Inc eHeCt OF Inat SHOCK, now
ever, is nothing compared with that
which follows her discovery at the
wars end that the young man was
not killed, that he still loves her
and is determined to marry her
unaware of her sense of her un-
Worthiness.
The entire focus of the story is
upon Miss Leigh, who proves her
self eminently capable of catching
the sweetly innocent flavor of the
early romance and the haunted
harshness of its desperate later
phase.

ages of war upon the human spirit.
But to say so Is to quibble In view
of the fact that Miss Leigh's per-
formance is remarkably supported
by others. In addition to Taylor's
proof that he has come a long way
as an actor, the picture offers i'm
pressive playing by Virginia Field
in the role of a sacriflcial soiled

a martinez ballet mistress, Lucille

Miss Neagle as her charming, pretty
self after her success as character
actress in Victoria the Great" and
Edith Cavell," For all its nostalgia
appeal and Miss Neagle's unques-
toned talent for pert comedy,
Irene" is dated version Of the
Cinderella legend.
Producer-Director Herbert Wilcox,
R-K-O and Miss Neagle have not
ignored the recorded age of Irene"
There has been an obvious attempt
at some modernization of the story,
the major result of which is to pro-
vide it with two Prince Charmings,
one played by Ray Milland, the
other by Alan Marshal. Also to the
credit of the production, which is a
lustrous affair visually, there has
been no stinting on cast costs. In
addition to Milland, borrowed from
Paramount, Mr.. Wilcox supple
mented his bright star with such
capable performers as Roland
Young, May Robson, Billie Burke,
Arthur Treacher and Marsha Hunt.
Chief merit of Irene" at this late
date is that it presents Miss Neagle
in her first modern role since she
came to the attention of the Ameri-
can movie public. At long last, and
despite the skill with which she por-
trayed the queen of queens and the
most heroic figure of her sex during
World War I, she has an opportu-
nifty to be herself and the result is
decidedly to the credit of those in
volved in the enterprise.
With a dancing and singing skill
which has not been manifest since
she first came to this country as a
member of a Cochran revue, Miss
Neagle brings to life one of the more
impressive heroines of musical COM
edy. Irene O'Dare AS every one
should know by this time, Irene is
member of the melting pot, whose
fierce pride of self makes her a
phenomenal success as a model in
the dressmaking establishment of
Nine. Lucy.
The big change has to do more
with Nine. Lucy than with the
ODare youngster. Remembered or
not, Nine. Lucy in the original play
was mincing gentleman who has
given way in the current version to
gentleman who is capable of fall
ing in love with Irene and fighting
for her. 1t makes quite difference
Whatever he paid for it, Mr.. Will
cox has not allowed the excellence
of the old musical score to obsess
him on this occasion. He has had
the excellent judgment to recognize
the enduring charm of such melodies
as Castle of Dreams" Alice Blue
Gown" ETC., but when the music in
terferes with the flow of the story of
Irene, he has been brave enough to
discard it. The space thus opened
has been filled with Miss Neagle's
ability-to dramatic Irene as one of
the most charming Cinderellas this
generation has seen. J. C.

Ukrainian Chorus
Delights With Songs
BY ELENA De SAYN,

The American Ukrainian Con-
gress, which brought to Washing
ton more than 1000 persons, includ-
ing 300 delegates from all over the
United States, concluded with a
concert of Ukrainian music last
night at the Washington Hotel, pre-
sented by the Ukrainian Chorus
under the direction of Alexander
Koshetz, composer and promoter of
national art. This gathering was
a duplication of a past congress Is
years ago which was accompanied
by similar program Of songs. The
national costume of the women
added greatly to the color of the
group on the stage.
the vitality and the vigor of the
two nationalities found. an outlet
in song which poured forth from
young and healthy throats, blend
ing to perfection Mellowed and
polished by the skill of an outstand-
ing leader, the singing was distin-
guished by a rich quality of tone,
resonance, nuance and phrasing. all
of which was greeted with enthu-
siasm by a musical audience, repre-
sentative of an American-born
generation.
The interesting and varied pro-
gram included several Cossack and
battle songs for male chorus, rang
ing from the 18th century onward.
After the Intermission, there were
patriotic and folk songs for mixed
chorus and soil by Maria Hrebe-
netzka, soprano, who, in addition
to those scheduled, sang a few more
songs to make up for the absence
of Michael Holynsky, tenor, who
did not appear. Her high and bril-
liam voice filled the large hall and
her general delivery spoke of ex-
perience. A sameness in the type
of selections prevented one from
judging her versatility and her
greater ability to modulate her tones
in accordance with the meaning of
words. Nine. Hrebenetzka's printed
selections were ballad by Lysenko
entitled "Duma" and "Povernulash
z Hameriki Do Domu," by modern
composer, adapted for voice by
Michael Hrebenetzky.
An address was made by DR..
Halyczyn in the first part of the
program, who urged unity in bring
ing about Ukrainian independence.
Unfortunately, with the exception of
the singing of the "Star Spangled
Banner" by the chorus, there was
no other exhibition of patriotic
sentiments.

20 Mule Team
Story of Borax
And Villainy
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

Those concerned with the play
ing of "20-Mule Team" seem to
have entered into their chores So
berly, to have taken it all seriously,
SO we must infer that the intention
has been for us to accept it in the
same mood. Had any member of
the cast resorted even to slight
burlesque, just hint of it, we could
be certain that the new picture
at Loew's Capitol is a satire on
westerns full of virile people and
homespun dialogue.
The plot Of this latest episode in
Wallace Beery's cinema life GER
tainly is trite enough to be satire
on trite plots of westerns full Of
homespun people and virile dia-
logue. This time it is a borax claim
the villain is trying to jump. Mr..
Beery at first is of mind to help
the villain. later shows his heart
of gold and his love for Mar rj6rie
Rambeau by shooting the villain
in the interest of the young man
who had staked the claim. The
dialogue is just as fresh and
sparkling as the plot. t"Fresh and
sparkling. .'-EdD
Admirers of Mr.. Beery will find
this rather slow-moving Death
Valley drama enlivened consider
ably. of course. by his portrait of
a rumbling tumbleweed of the des-
ert with a fondness for a mule
named Buttercup. He plays WAL
lace Beery with all of that en-
thusiasm he customarily injects
into playing Wallace Beery, and that
does not mean we do not like it.
Leo GARLIC accounts for some hu-
morous moments, too, in his i'm
personation of Beery's Indian pal
with, incidentally, what seems to
be either Greek of Portuguese
dialect. 1t also is nice to have
Marjorie Rambeau back with us.
Capable as these people are, how
ever, they are no match for "20-
Mule Team It's just the sort of
turn of f-the-century drama that
would be fine out at the Roadside,
though.
The stage show at the Capitol
goes all the way from acrobatic
dogs to a spectacle involving the
burning at the stake of Joan of
Arc, with sundry stopovers between.
One of the stopovers is for Cyril
Smith, who is, SO far as this corner
is concerned at any rate, one of
the funniest fellows operating on
the vaudeville stages today. His
song about poor Anne Boleyn, who
wandered about with "her head
tucked under her arm" and his
tale of the two Englishmen and
the portrait of Gladstone are two
Of the brightest moments in any
stage show, including this one.
The acrobatic dogs, who are the
gang" part of Max and His Gang,
are fine, too. And you will enjoy
that time occupied by Frank Gaby,
the ventriloquist; the Gray family,
a group of nimble dancers; Helene
Denizon, who employs her ballet
skill in the impersonation of Joan
of Arc, and the Rhythm Rockets,
whose first number, a tricky pre-
cision affair, is especially well done.

Based upon an original screen
