Singapore Report
At the TranS.Lux

Comes now another camera re-
port on Britain's far-f1ung defenses,
an extensive affair which must be
called the headline story of the
new Trans-Lux news bill. Para
mount has sent a cameraman this
time to Singapore, to investigate
and report pictorially upon prepara-
tions for guarding that strategically
important base. His pictures are
no end reassuring-hinting at con-
siderable force in the Scottish, Aus
tralian and native Malayan troops
established to guard the supply
route for rubber and tin. There
are other news shots, too, of course,
occasional giimpAs of girl SWIM

further note on the lives of the

Robson Stirs
Audience
To Shouts
Wild Enthusiasm
Greets Singer in
Chinese Benefit
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Paul Robson, singing "Of Man
River" as an encore to his last
group, had the vast audience that
gathered to hear him last night in
Uline Arena shouting, whistling and
applauding with an enthusiasm that
broke all bounds. With his infec-
tious smile and friendly demeanor
he established an immediate con-
tact with the crowd, which repre-
Sented all classes of society in the
city, from Constitution Hall patrons
to the least musically inclined, who
turned out to hear him or to assist
the cause for which he donated his
services-aid to China.
The concert was under the aus
pices of the Washington Committee
for Aid to China, which paid tribute
to the famous baritone in a souvenir
program dedicated to him who
made this concert possible; who so
generously contributed his great
talent to the. relief of the Chinese
people; who has on so many occa-
sions proved his deep love and
affection for the peoples of all
lands"
The high lights of his program
were the numbers that spoke of war
and the suffering of people, such as
MoussorgSky's After the Battle"
The Prayer" arranged by j. En-
gel; Burleigh's arrangement of Go
Down Moses" and Joshua Fit the
Battle of Jericho" in Lawrence
Browns transcription. Mr.. Brown
was Mr.. Robeson's accompanist and
joined him in the singing of this
song. The fervor and dramatic in
tensity with which Mr. Robson
sang and the power and richness
of his voice stirred his listeners to
great demonstration.
Other numbers on his program
were Water Boy" Cecil Sharp's ar
rangement of the English folk song
20. No, John; the Russian folk song
Might" Gershwin's 1T Amt Neces-
sarily So" and Mr.. Browns arrange
ment of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" )"
The ampliflcation carried the sing
er's voice to the farthest corner of
the hall with clarity and allowed its
volume and emotional quality to be
fully realized. He sang from his
heart and reused his audience to the
highest enthusiasm with the genuine
character of his artistry.
Assisting on the program was a
chorus composed of the Washington
Peoples Chorus, the Tempo Choral
Society, the Municipal Male Chorus
and the Capitol Civic Male Chorus,
under the direction of Alfred Man.
ming. They were heard in Amer
ica," which opened the recital, and
with Mr.. Robson in the singing OF

Mortimer Graves, chairman Of the
Washington Committee for Aid to
China, spoke briefly in the inter-
mission, explaining the work being
done by the committee and intro
ducing John P. Davis, national Sec
retary of the National Negro Con-
gress, who made an address In be-

on this occasion is

The appeal of the Earle'S screen
drama is not in the novelty of its
casting, surprising as it is to find
that heroine and hero trapped by a
deeper and more abiding passion
than usual. 1t lies, rather, in the
superlative skill of every one con-
cerned In avoiding a hackneyed
overdone note in favor of one that
makes Penny Serenade' a tender,
moving, and far from sophisticated
love story. Beyond the acting OF
Miss DunneTand Grant, credit for
this happy result probably should be
equally divided between Director
George Stevens and Author Morrie
Ryskynd. They know their human
values too well to let a counterfeit
intrude upon any part of their pic
ture.
It must not be deduced that Miss
Dunno and Grant are denied a
chance to show samples OF their gay
old wares in Penny Serenade." 1t
opens. indeed, on the old note with
Grant once more the predatory
male. Miss Dunno the girl who puts
that look in his eyes. That mood
lasts until the two are we'll launched
upon a honeymoon in Japan, he an
irresponsible newspaperman, she a
bride who is full of responsibility.
Between the two of them, they
decide to adopt baby after one OF
those handy Japanese earthquakes
makes it impossible for them to have
q baby.
They do adopt one at the age OF
8 or 6 weeks. There follows every
thing that should follow, including
the discovery that neither of the two
has the slightest idea of how even
to give the infant a bath. 1t might
have been one of the most haCkneyed
scenes that ever crept into movie,
but because it is so we'll played, it is
anything but hackneyed. At least six
times thereafter, the film comes
close to being sheer saccarine only
to escape that fate because MISS
Dunno and Grant refuse to allow it
to become so.
It's most challenging moment,
among many, is that in which
Grant, the old comedian, stands be-
fore a Judge and pleads the case OF
the baby. In view of his past per-
formances, especially in such pic
Evening star., 1941-04-26

lures as MY Favorite Wife," there
is not a single moment in which
word might have thrown the whole
thing into the realm of comedy
Past performances, however, count
for nothing. Grant, indeed, makes
the whole thing one of the most
touching moments the screen has
seen in months, dramatic thing
quite far removed from the old COM
edy groove.
The supporting cast of Penny
Serenade' is one of those which ap-
parently has been chosen without
reference to anything other than
sheer skill. For one, there is Beulah
Bondi as the representative of the
adoption agency, Edgar Buchanan
as sort of dopey jack-o of -all-trades
who even can bathe babies in an
emergency.
Penny Serenade" may sound mu-
steal. but it is not. Miss Dunno, who
could do so if the script called for
it, sings not a single song, save at
the moment when she, Grant and
the others sing Happy Birthday"
1t is a grand picture, nevertheless.

one of those revues put together
with Harry Anger's excellent taste,
is one of the Earle's better attrac-
tions in recent weeks In addition
to Cook himself, not to mention one
of his rarest assortments of gagish
props. the cavalcade includes the
Roxyettes in two complicated rou-

always refreshing act, Lane and
Ward in an acrobatic dance rou-
tine, Sir Godfrey Hale in a vocal
