ADVENTUREFILM
 AT LOEW-POLI'S
'WiId Geese Calling' Opens Engagement; Ben-
 nett, Fonda Co-Starred

20th Century Fox has made su- perb motion picture from an out standing novel. This is the unani- nous opinion of the critics who have reviewed Wild Geese Calling" which opens today at Loew Poli Theater for an engagement of four days. This is Stewart Edward Whites great ad- venture story of the Northwest.
 Henry Fonda, as the two-fisted lumberjack with love for the out doors, gives the finest performance of his career, even surpasSing his great portrayal of Tom load in @The Grapes of Wrath" And Joan Ben- nett, co-starring in the role of Sally, the dance hall queen, is superb in an entirely new kind of role.
 All the action, drama and romance of this fine story of the great North west, which was awarded the gold medal of the Commonwealth Club of California, as the outstanding novel written by a resident of the State in 194O, has been retained in the film. The interesting story of wan- dering John Murdock, played by Fonda, who meets and falls in love with Sally while looking for his friend Blackie has been faithfully followed.
 Marrying Sally, John takes her to Alaska, not knowing that she ard Blackie had been friends before he met her. Angry when he finds Blackie holding Sally in his arms, John assaults his friend, and leaves his wife, thus setting the stage for the unusual climax. Excellent sup port has been given the two stars by the supporting cast which in- cludeS Warren William, as Blackie, Ona Munson and Barton MacLane.
 For adventure, action and TO- nance, be sure to see Stewart Ed- ward Whites wild Geese Calling"
 Tense drama Iningles with com- edy and romance in "Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day." which completes the second half of this outstanding dou- ble hit program.

 They asked Mickey how he'd like to become an actor. He had never seen movie, except for Snow White" but he thought he'd like it. fine.
 A great part of the finished movies charm Is the fact that young MT. O,Donnell never quite realized what was going on. He was never camera-conscious. In fact, when he finally saw himself on the screen, he was torn be- tween pride in accomplishment and resentment at having had something put over on him.
 Adventure in the Bronx" con- cerns young man named Sweeney (Mickey), who with his toy ele- plant Bombo, decides to run away from home. Slipping out of the house at crack of dawn, he walks until he sees a fence. Fences are meant to be snuck under, so sneak under Sweeney does. Suddenly he finds himself in an animal-infested jungle (the zoo). Of course Sweeney isn't scared Of course not. But poor Bombo is petrified. The story relates, in Il minutes, what happens to Sweeney and how be- comes 8 man.

Mickey in real life is the exact opposite of the tinid Sweeney During the first days filming, he had to work 8 great deal in close proximity to a huge orang -utan. The camera man was a bit uneasy at first, fearing that the simian, tame enough though he might be, would be too rough with Mickey.
 OIeANG-UTAN GOT
 WORST OF DEAL
 By the days end, the camera man (who, incidentally, filmed many of Frank Bucks pictures in Africa was more than bit un- easy as to the stat eof. health of the orang whom Mickey had beaten and pummeled most of the afternoon.
 It took eight days to make the picture. That's a long time for a short, but the animal actors were often temperamental. So was Mickey. When it was all over, Mickey was disappointed. He still didn't have any uniform, like his pal Tommy Ryan.
 That's all fixed up now. Now Mickey has blue cap and blue overaIs, just like Tommy. In big red letters the overalls announce that Mickey is Junior Assistant Curator of Domestic Goats" Mickey won't talk very much about his work in the movies these days. But just ask him some time about Domestic Goats.

People on Broadway are on the look out for big names, especially in the midtown area, whose side streets house the theatres and the cafes.
 Even so, one must be adept at remembering features to recognize hurrying faces that are hidden by tall hats, cloaks and furs. I stood next to Joan Bennett not so long ago in a theatre lobby and never would have recognized her in the crush if my cigarette hadn't brush ed it's fire against her gown and prompted me to apologize. (Apolo- gizing is strictly old-fashioned and a hallmark of the provincial. But, somehow, it's habit that ten years in New York have failed to dint) However, Miss Bennett on this oc- casion was very sweet. She accepted the apology with brief little nod that meant she hadn't the least idea what I was talking about, but what ever it was it was .okay.

That Is When They Appear UnheraIded No Atten-

By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, May Two for Freuchen is a Scandinavian giant with wild mop of red beard, pierc- ing, direct eyes, and limp.
 This limp is part of his own Ice landic sage, for once in the Arctic, suffering from frost-bite, he cut off his own foot. His stature as an explorer is secure. His fame as an author is widespread, for he has written Arctic Adventure" "Es- kimo," and Greenland" books that have sold well and have found their way into the cinema.
 Coming out of a Times Square restaurant, I saw Freuchen climb out of cab and move, fully a head taller than the crowd, for three blocks down Roadway, his peculiar gait making him marked men in any crowd A few people glanced curiouSly at him but paid no par ticular notice Not soul recognized him.
 At first this seemed incredible, until I remembered that few New Workers recgnize celebrities on the street. It isn't that they are blase Probably it is because they never expect celebrities to be caught prom enading and so fail to recognize them when they come on them un- aWares.
 One afternoon before Macys I noticed Lawrence Tibbett as he sat, hands across his knees, in an open car He was trapped in traffic jam or at least ten minutes and no one, not even the cop who finally unsnarled the tieup and waved Tib- bet on his way, recognized him.
 Even the bare headed Lindbergh escapes undue attention As he left his wife's publishers, Harcourt- Brace, one rainy afternoon, de- scended the elevator with him. He walked across Madison Avenue, stood on the curb in front of the Ritz until the light changed, and though hundreds of pasersby could ] nave reached out and touched him, one seemed aware that there stood
 he first man in all history to fly m airplane nonstop from New York Paris.
 This unawareness of greatness is confined chiefly to daytime crowds, who have places to go, probably, and things on their minds. At night, when the sidewalks, the foyers and Hobbies are more largely populated by pleasure and celebrity hunters, there is this difference:
