triangle robs them of any possible
sympathy.
Dedicated primarily to comedy
purposes, Strawberry Blond" ig-
nores the implications of its ro-
mantle interludes for long stretches
to have fun with the manners, the
dress and the customs of its period.
1t lets one in on such facts as girls
were regarded as fast" if they
stayed out after 1920, that going
on a bender" meant a foamy eve
ming in a beer parlor, that horses
and srrreys were quite inadequate
chariots of romance, and that
young men who did not pay their
livery stable bills had to clean up
the horses premises. Director
Raoul Walsh worked very hard to
make these items a nostalgically
amusing account of the films
period, but he cannot make one for
get other directors, and pictures,
have been there before him.
The climax to which all these
things lead might have been more
effective if it had not dallied so long
en- route. In it, Cagney, a full
fiedged dentist, has a chance for
revenge on the guy who stole his
strawberry blond, and worse still,
caused him to do a stretch Of five
years in prison. All he needs to do,
of course, is accidentally give the
ape an overdose of gas, and that
will be that.
Guess what he did?
Whatever Walsh was unable to
do by way of whipping his picture
into a paceful item is not without
its compensation in the stage show
which Harry Anger has put to-
gether this week. The ingredients
with which he worked included
such varied things as a japanese
acrobatic act correct us if we are
wrong, Mr.. Al. a Chinese vocalist,
Borrah Minivitch's harmoniCa band
and the RoXyettes. You cannot
make a unit show Of such an as
sorted group of performers, but the
only reason therefor is that you
are not Harry Anger. He did.
What he has accomplished with
the group adds up to a quite in
gratiating stage show Those Jap
aneSe Cor, are we still wrongO
acrobats, together with Hoo Shee,
prove the Orient is not without its
virtues, regardless of what page one
