The Cast.
Meet the People
Due in the Autumn

Meet the People" the youthful
musical revue which upset theatri-
cal tradition by beginning on the
wrong side of the continent and
crashing Broadway as a full-f1edged
hit, will be one of the early starters
of the new season when it sets out
on a tour of the principal American
and Canadian cities. 1t is scheduled
to play the National Theater dur
ing the autumn months.
There probably was never another
revue with quite the same history
as Meet the People" Broadway
is the birthplace of most musicals,
but Meet the People" started in
Hollywood. 1t all began as taunt
directed at those whose business it
is to discover talent and lure it into
the embrace of the movie studios
The boys and girls who came to
make up the cast of Meet the
People" had talent, as they subse-
Quctluly ucillOIlSll dUCu, UuJ llO lCCOS>
milton. And so they banded to-
gether to put on a revue which
would show them of at their best.
They were helped by some of the
best brains in the movie colony.
The sketches, lyrics and music were
contributed by many of the top
ranking writer's on the coast. The
revue finally opened on Christmas
night little more than year and
half ago. and it was a hit from
the start. In short order, Meet the
People" was forced to move from its
400-seat home to a theater whose
capacity was 1900. Even though
Meet the People" poked plenty of
fun at Hollywood, HOLLYWOOD liked
it enough to support it for more
than 40 weeks.
1t was inevitable that the time
would come when Meet the Peo-
pie" would pay its respects to Broad
way. En- route. it stopped in San
Francisco for eight weeks, Chicago
for II, and when it finally reached
New York it settled down for a
highly successful run of close to
half year.

Blood and Sand
At Columbia

Blood and Sand" which made
Rudolph Valentino what he was be-
fore he became what he is today,
has been pulled out of the files
again, this time as vehicle for
Tyrone Power. The new version at
the Columbia has the advantage of
technicolor, which is quite an ad-
vantage from the visual standpoint.
1t is not enough, however, to COM
pensate for the fact that Blasco
Vincente Ibanez' neurotic bull
fighter hardly seems the dramatic
fellow he did back in Valentines
day.
Participating with Power in the
spectacularly colored photography
are such people as Linda Darnell
and Rita Hayworth, both of whom
look charming in their different
ways. J. C,

I'm the Navy
HeldOver
AtKeith's
Abbott.C Costello
Team Aided by
Dick Powell

When thier first picture OF the
latest cycle played Keith's seven
months ago, Abbott and Costello
were just a couple of fellows with .
burlesque comedy style which was
misunderstood. Since that picture
Buck Privates," they have become
recognized as the brightest new
blood Hollywood has picked up in
a long time. In other words, they
have become a fad and 1t is the
thing to see them. Accordingly, their
second picture, I'm the Navy" holds
over a second week where the origi-
inal barely managed to last the
conventional seven days.
In its unpretentious, corny way
'In the Navy" is ornamented with
the same Abbott and Costello gags
as the original-gags at which you'll
laugh If the comedians have to break
their necks making the things funny
It has the additional virtue of q
wispy romantic angle which brings
Dick Powell into the cast and gives
him opportunity to sing couple OF
songs and lend touch of dignity
to some of the unrestrained goings-
on.
The Andrews sisters also are In
the picture with three Andrews sis
ters' type interruptions of the story
which will appeal to their following
Universal, which produced I'm the
Navy" obviously has reasoned that
a laugh is laugh these days regard
less of how one gets it,
The laughter is supplemented by
China Fights Back" a March OF
Time chapter which is no laughing
matter. but is highly dramatic ir
its way. j. G.

the new picture at the Metropol-
itan.
This is not to say that Under
ground" is just another action
drama in new setting. AS mat
ter of fact it probably would be
closest to the truth to call it no
more and no less than an item of
melodramatic propaganda, but that
is no indictment unless every bit OF
propaganda helping sustain s1me
hope for freedom some day is
wrong. For Underground" does
sing song of freedom, even though
it does bludgeon the senses almost
insensate with another picture of
some aspects of the scourge that Is
Nazism.
"Underground' tells the story of
Germanys secret radio, enemy of
the state" the gangster Gestapo
screams historically; true friend of
decency, its every martyrs heart
sings. 1t is not very pretty story;
the dread Gestapo is always too
close on the trail of the illegal"
broadcasters who fight freedoms
battle and the Gestapo has certain
wiles that none but the brave can
withstand. But a true story Of life
in Germany today could hardly be
told without brutality, and this Is,
if you will believe reliable corre-
spondentS who have brought the
story back to us. essentially true
report.
There is a secret underground
revolution, counter-revolution for
freedom, that is, against the bloody
revolution of nihilism. A small band
of the brave who believe in the
dignity of man dare the terrors Of
Nazi punishment to broadcast its
messages-by whispered word, by
handbills, by radio from Innocent
appearing trucks, from river boats,
or from other havens. briefly, before
flight from the Gestapo. In them
there is hope and in the opposition
to them there is warning to those
who prefer to read what they want
to read in their newspapers and to
listen to whomever they will on the
radio, even if it is Charles A. Lind

There is this in Germany and
there is this in Underground"
presented bluntly and grimly, but
always excitingly. Director Vincent
Sherman has phrased his message
in taut and dramatic terms.
Fortunate (or maybe intelligenD
casting has helped make Under
ground" worthwhile, too. The dra-
matte import of such an urgent
story is likely to come into conflict
with its actors if they are not care
full, so it is to the credit of these
players-principally Hollywood
newcomer named Kaaren Verne,
Philip Dorm and Jeffrey Lynn,
experts all--that they never stand
in front of the drama. but rather
become part of it. And some day,
some one is going to have to award
a medal to Martin Kosleck for brave
service in anti-Nazi pictures; so
brutal a picture does he paint of
a Gestapo chief that he must be
hating himself by this time.
