ton how Dark Hammock" works
out, but we who are notoriously
dull about such things began to
have an unshakeable conviction the
minute the young wife began to
concoct her witchs brew in the first
act.
The fault for that lies well be-
yond the acting of Miss Orr as the
young wife, Miss Landi, in fact of
all the rather competent people
who have been assembled in Dark
Hammock" The ladies, from the
star down to the corpulent colored
cook, look quite fetching in those

OF the men in the cast, you will
be pleased with Charles McClelland
as the kindly husband, Scott Moore
as the rustic physician and Arthur
Hunnicutt as the sheriff.
Another thing that will please
you is the set which Sam Leve de-
signed, one which suggests that

spired of the playwrights as the in
reduction of an old country doc
tor. a swamp-spawned medicine
man who has the beloved rogue
written all over him.
The play really gets going, how
ever, only when Miss Landi appears
on the scene. She is a young scien-
tist, employed by Yankee museum
to make a survey of bird, fish and
animal life in the Everglades to
help the Taft administration or
its program Of wild life conserva-
ton. For a young female scientist
of 1910, Miss Landi turns out to
have giddily curious mind and
every time she turns around in
Dark Hammock" her impression
Of something evil going on there
is intensified.
She is quite a pleasant charac-
ter for Miss Orr and Denham to
have thought up to do their detec-
tive work for them and her effort
to get at the heart of the mystery
is just amateurish enough to keep
the audience in suspense while she
and the wife stage their duel of
wits. Miss Wickes, a comically an
gular woman, Is rewarded with one
Of the plays richer secondary roles

panion to the young scientist. Her
amusement at the latter's effort to
solve the crime Is clearly calculated
to be infectious and Miss Wickes

American producers are worried

jump in exploiting the liberated
lands of Europe. The Hollywood
boys want their Uncle Sam to do
something about it-and quick-in

They allege the British industry

claim that country is now about to
pounce upon and swallow those
markets.
Hollywood was hit for total
revenue loss Of approximately 40 per
cent by closing Of foreign markets.

movie-hungry spots at the earliest

What the foreign market means
to just one producer, David O. Selz-
nick, is something to think about.

Selsnick can look forward to a gross

Movie Critics Best Police
In Movie Crime Detection

Maj. Edward J. Kelly and about
two dozen police officers yesterday
staked their crime-detecting ability
against that of four movie critics
and their wives, and the critics won.
The contest, accompanied by much
nead-scratching and grimacing, took
place at movie preyiew arranged
by the management of RKO-Keith's
Theater. A slip of paper signed by
Jay Carmody of The Star staff sug-
gested an answer closer to the solu-
ton than any turned in by the cop
pers. The wife of another critic
who went along to the proceedings
for the ride, also hit closely to the
mark. She blushed happily as she
meandered out with the rest of the
spectators, including Commissioner
John Russell Young, to attend a
buffet lunch in the Willard Hotel

more sure OF itself than 1T has any
right to be. 1t could be also that
merely neatly contrived melodrama
Of Dark Hammock's" kind is hope
lessly -overmatched against the eX-
citement of the world in general.
Its impact, at any rate, strikes us
as being very close to negligible and
unlikely to add anything to the
prestige of Meyer Davis and Sam
H. Grisman, its producers.
Miss Orr and Denham, couple
Of artful writer's who wrote WALL
flower" for the same sponsors last
season, are most refreshing in their
latest work in the choice of it's
background. Down in Florida, on
the Kissimmee plains which rise
out of the Everglades, they have
discovered morbidly sinister
locale. The heat Is sitting and the
humidity Is monstrous and that
people might react to them with
violence is unquestioned.
Having found this superbly evil
environment, the only plot the au-
thors Of Dark Hammock" could
devise to 60 with it was that hack
neyed one about the young bride
who is Systematically feeding poison
to her outstanding, gentle husband.
1t is her intention, of course, to
convert his estate into immediate
cash and go back to New York,
where she was shabby little ac-
tress, and live happily ever after
ward in luxury and sin. They have
infused the poisoning process with
a lot Of psychologist overtones and
they have been quite crafty in in
Producing some fetching local types
into their story 1t never ceases to
look synthetic, however, despite the
efforts of ELISA Landi, Mary
Wickes, Miss Orr and several other
competent members Of the cast.
t+
There Is none of the "whodunit"
flavor in Dark Hammock" a title
that comes from the name of the
cattleman's estate. The audience
knows all the time what is up be-
tween the young wife and her in
valid husband, is let in at the very
beginning upon her trick of making
deadly potion for him by pulver-
izing the heads Of sulphur matches,
adding water and then doping his
nightly eggnogs. The suspense
lies in whether she can get him
out of the way before he makes a
will leaving his money in trust for
her-which will spoil her fun-or
before the mysterious nature of his
illness can be discovered.
These are grim goings on, but the
authors of Dark Hammock" have
seen that they are artfully, almost
too artfully, relieved. There is a.
parade of comedy colored servants,
which was not nearly as much in
