Ar+ie Shaw
Michigan
11raa,w


clarinet, we found ourselves sitting
In the Michigan Theater yesterday
listening TO laudable. audible rea-
sons why Artie Shaw Is one of the
most popular swing maestros.
Shaw and his band are appear
ing in person for the last week
before Artie has to report to the
navy. so all the Shaw fans had
better take last stop, to look and
listen to their favorite.
There is no doubt but what
Shaw plays a beautiful clarinet.
He's master of his instrument
and his arrangements are cleverly
devised so that he has plenty of
opportunity to display his singular
talents as soloist. For example the
lengthy and involved arrangement
OF "St. Louis Blues" with which
he closes practically becomes a
clarinet concerto.
The same thing is true with
Back Bay Bounce, Traffic jam
and with the famous Begin the
Beguine." which began his career.
all of which are featured in this
current show.
A FINE TRUMPET
In China Boy" Shaw steps out
of the spotlight 10 give his fine
trumpeter. Lee Castle. a chance 10
show what he can do somewhat in
the manner of the late Bunny
Berigan.
The girl soloist with the band is
young lady who sings Stormy
Weather" i'm a Harlem mood and
Somebody's Taking My Place. I"
during which she seems TO be
exceedingly cheerful over the fact
that her heart is broken.
A CLEVER COMEDIAN
Featured acts include Al Bernie,
that clever young comedian, whose
radio parodies are always amusing.
In this case he has a lot OF new
material and his gags are almost
as fresh as he is.
Light and facile young dancers
are Toy and Wing who also are
on the bill with some very agile
lroutines.
An important part OF every
Michigan stage show are those
swing overtures which Phil Bres-
toff and his band furnish. This
week. they start things rolling
with an arrangement OF the Rach-
maninoff C-Sharp-minor Prelude
which would even please Serge,
himself. since he is so fed up with
il the straight way. 10 Wohl does
the piano part, while Phil swings
a bold baton.
SEVEN AGES OF sTANWYCK
On the screen you will find The
Great Mans Lady" or The Poor
Mans Mrs. Methusalah." In IL
Barbara Stanwyck appears as an
ancient crone of some one hundred
years. who reflects on a long and
tedious career in which she was
the inspiration for one of our great
pioneers. namely Joel McCrea.
This sentimental and slightly
sloppy journey takes her as a
young girl from a respectable
Philadelphia home. through the
perils of the early West and finally
deposits her as mistress of a San
Francisco gambling resort Not
content with such luxurious fate
she must return TO be Mr.. Nc
Crea's guiding light again. even
though the dog left her expecting
twins on the eve of a Sacramento
food. It's all very touching, but
somehow we felt Older than Miss
Stanwyck az the end

Gold Rush
Hilarious
State

The clown OF the Klondike, the
Charlie Chaplin of The Gold
Rush" days. returns to delight us,
to cure our war nerves, TO shoe
away our Axis-monster megrims.
Yes. The Gold Rush." one of
Chaplin's greatest pictures has
been refined, re-edited and sup
piled with music and narration by
the prince of pantomime. himself.
II is on current view at the
Palm-State and it's just as funny
now, il not funnier than il was
20 years ago.
If anything can prove that
truth is stranger than a talking
picture, il is this silent classic"
which still has the power to pro-
woke paroxysms. following a
period during which the motion
picture has grown from side
show stepchild into the fifth larg-
lest industry in the United States.
OF course. this is chiefly due
TO the genius of Chaplin, a man
who made silent pictures talk"
long before anyone had ever heard
of sound"
ESSENCE. OF COMEDY
The addition of narrative has
done nothing 10 detract from
those wonderful little gestures,
those sly expressions and those
wonderful custard pie takes, while
music, scored by Chaplin himself,
| has only added 10 the pathos of
certain situations.
Sound heightens so many OF the
general effects, that the comedy
is almost over-emphasized insofar
as nice polite control of the guffaw
is concerned.
SOUND ADDITIONS
For example the hiccups in the
boot -devouring scene are now au-
dible, the music for the famous
dancing dinner roll" sequence is
sensational and the accompain-
ment for the dance hall business
lis perfect.
Chaplin, a talented musician,
himself, has done all this and it's
one of the best jobs OF dubbed
in sound we've ever encountered.
THE LONE FIGURE
The pathetic and indominitable
Little Fellow" is still a singular
and lone figure in the comedy his
tory of our films and one of the
wonderful things about this re-
issue of The Gold Rush" is that
il not only gives us who saw him
years ago a chance TO relive those
famous laughs, but il also offers
an opportunity for generation
TO whom Chaplin is only a legend
TO see him at his greatest.
Since this film Is Comparatively
short. a modern mystery, The
Falcon Takes Over" has been
added.
This has George Sanders and
Lynn Bari in plenty Of exciting
adventures with James Gleason
and Allen Jenkins TO supply the
comedy.

How TO Use
Sugar Substitutes

CORN SYRUP is only about
half as sweet as cane sugar,
and when used in baked prod
ucts gives a less sweet product
unless the amount is increased
considerably.
For mullins or sweetbreads
the corn syrup is added right
with the milk.
When corn syrup iS used in
cake froStingS the result is a
smooth. soft, rather sticky
frosting which stays soft and
moist. II will never harden or
become crystalliZed.
Maple sugar may be used just
like cane sugar and in equal
proportions.
