BY PATRICIA SIMMONS.


II there's any similarity between
the goings on at the Capitol this
week and reasonable state of
sanity, then deliver us from that
noble institution known as the
family.
Even mathematically speaking
there are few shortcomings in the
picture. If Three Is a Family" "
what would you call the addition of
sponging sister-in-law, a married
daughter, Navy son-in-laW on
leave, an assorted lot of grand
children as well as a few friends
dropping in to spend the night and
brand-neW maid at least every
two days? Reigning over this do
mestic madhouSe is Fay BANTER,
the mother executive, provider and
family brain trust. She brings home
the bacon while Charlie Ruggles,
the slightly hen-pecked husband,
stays home to humor the maid, feed
the gold fish and take care of the
grandchildren, alas, twin baby girls
with two pairs of lusty lungs.
Please don't get the idea the film
is complete loss. On the contrary,
there were some very funny episodes,
in fact one laugh sequence after the
other. Take, for instance, the scene
where the expectant father and his
little wife pore over alphabetical
name lists for the baby or where
Helen Broderick is forced out of her
room onto the living room couch to
make a place for the twins. Natu-
rally sufficient film footage is al
lotted to cover the usual bed -tussle
scene as Miss Broderick struggles
to make the covers stretch equally
both ways. Need we add that the
undertaking is not successful until
around O'Clock in the morning,
Just about the time some one else

balanced by what it gains of spice.
The 'HayeS office perhaps still is
shuddering at the kiss they ex-
change in a lonely mountaintop
cabin, and, for all we know, so are
Miss Raines and Wayne.
All the other trappings of the
routine western are there in the
same arreStlngly undiluted form.
There is the ruthless land -gra bber
who is trying to gobble up any
handy ranch and his favorite ap-
proach to a deal is hiring a gun
man to dispose of the current
owner. There are also the usual
rustlers, the card sharks, a funny
old stage coach driver who drinks
steadily enough to have died half
century before of ulcers. And,
threading her way hilariously
among them is dainty Miss Risdon

Members of the cast of Tall in

into the irreverent spirit of the
thing. Even Wayne. who has made
rich, honest living out of horse
opera, achieves fine disrespect for
1t, and for his past, by giving a
flnely exaggerated performance. He
has never been more laconic in
speech or action, and he spurns

Bobby Socks Ballad
BY DAN PARKER

- HAT, in Tin Pan Alley jabber-
wocky, explains the sensational
rise TO fame of Bobby Permane,
the Sinatra of the Saddle.
Bobby is the 20-year-old, wavy
haired, blond apprentice jockey with
the soulful blue eyes who has become
the bane of bookies and the pin-up
boy of the bobby.socks brigade ever
since he performed the remarkable
feat of riding five winners on each of
three consecutive days at the Tropical
Park meeting early in April.
This personable, five-foot, 100
pound son of two vaudeville troupers
who is now knocking them dead on
the Big Apple has way with horses
and women that he can't explain
Mares not only eat oats for him but
win for him at the right price. Fillies
go for him without urging. Colts
seem to obey him, too
And the bobby socks brigade Swoons
in a body with delighted squeals,
