Crime doesn't pay except in Hol-
| lyWood where a couple of marquee
names, plus some pretty girls in
bathing suits, would seem sufficient
excuse for perpetrating any tale Of
human misdeedS.
Having a Wonderful Crime" at
the Earle this week, are such people
as Pat O'Brien, George Murphy and
cipals, few are likely to consider
it passable fun. It's too nonsensical
to be good escapist fare; too routine
to emerge as slapstick. If you want
to reconsider, however, there's al
ways Carole Lands.
Between murders, disappearing
magicians and water carnivals, Miss
Lands manages to put an extensive
wardrobe to proper use. A black
lace negligee, several decollete eve
ming jobs and a tWo-piece bathing
suit come in handy when director
Eddie Sutherland seems at a loss
what to DO next.
After all, there's such a thing as
running out of dead bodies The
problem in this case is solved by
having the same corpse pop up in
different places. One minute it turns
up in the hotel suite of newlyweds
Carole Lands and George Murphy
Five minutes later Miss Lands
chases it down laundry chute or
up fire escape. No one in the cast
appears to be particularly perturbed
by the zany proceedings. Frankly
George Zucco is the only one who
seems the least bit impressed with
the seriousness of his role. In case
you're interested, Mr.. Zucco plays
the body.

Murphy and O'Brien romp bravely
through the script, falling off lad

and running away from blood

centuating gestures and wise-crack-

ginning, O'Brien is left to divide

belong to Maureen O'Sulhvan. y
Most of the ape mans efforts at
Keith's this week are exerted to
keep faith with a mysterious tribe
of jungle women called Palmyrians.
Tarzan saves one of the lovely leop-
ard skinned lassies early in the
proceeding (Jane happens to be out
of town and when he delivers her
to the door, he's permitted to leave
the valley hideout on the promise
that he'll never disclose its secret
location.
Jane finally arrives back in Africa
from the outside world accompanied
by some nosey scientists. It doesn't
take much to see that these bows
are going to cause trouble. Sure
enough, it's not long before Tara n
has his hands full trying to dis
courage the scientists from bother
ing the Amazons who previously
made it quite clear that they had
no desire to be bothered A few of
the girls get out of control with
their bows and arrows but TarZan
takes care of that quick enough.
We would say that the way things
looked at the end of the picture
there might be another Tarzan
movie, maybe in two years or so.

dub her the Great" From their
standpoint, she is no less than that
and further proof of the point-if
1t were needed-is evident this week
on the screen of LoeW's Capitol. "A
Royal Scandal" is the title OF the
latest version of GATHERINGS story
and despite Marlene Dietrich, Mae
West and previous GATHERINGS this
one still has her farcical values.

you would expect of her in the

playing her broadest to make you

playing her broadest to make you
forget that fact.
The single novelty of the current
examination of GATHERINGS career
is it's tendency to present her in q
kindly light. In other hands thar
those involved, this could have beer
ridiculous. 1t is not here. She is
the same Catherine, in spite Of that
treatment, that she always has been
cunning. amorous, cruel, but re-
deemed in the end by the prospect
of one more romance.
GATHERINGS particular amour here
is that one centering in a young
lieutenant of the palace guard
played by William Eythe. He is a
fine, upright young man, you may
be sure. His only weakness is that
in spite of his furious loyalty to the
Czarina, he happens to be in love
with one of her young, beautiful
ladies in waiting. That bothers
Catherine very little, as why should
1t, until she is compelled by her own
better instincts to reward the young
man for having foiled a plot to
bounce her from the throne. The
only proper reward turns out to be
giving him back to the girl, or vice
versa, which Catherine does. 1t is
more than mere coincidence that
just at the moment of her gener-
osity an attractive French diplomat
arrives at the Russian court and
they two are quite taken by each
other.
In laying emphasis upon the
Czarlna'S amorouSness not the
same indelicate emphasis that Miss
West did earlier in the season in

Miss Bankhead, and the others in

over such imponderables as why
there are SO many peasants, why
young men in the Empress favor
feel compelled to issue proclama-
lions, and many another aspect of
being head of such a complicated
state.
A highly effective piece of sup
port is accorded Miss Bankhead in
her current screen venture by Mr..
Coburn. AS the wise, kindly chan
cellor, who has grown enormously
weary in the service of the lively
Empress, he cuts one of the more
comic figures of the season. By no
means left out of things, despite
the artfulness of the principals. are
Young Eythe, Anne Baxter, as the
spirited young lady in waiting, or

 One of the most popular and meritorious pieces of legislation enacted into law was the Anti Discrimination Bill of Rep. Ed ward Anderson, long time Coun- cilman and Mayor of Nome. It passed the House of Representa- tives 19 to 5 and the Senate II to 5, thus meeting with the ap- proval of 30 of the 40 members of the Legislature, only 10 dissent ing.
 There is nothing in this act that refers, even remotely to so- cial equality-it merely seeks to restore to those United States citi- zens, comprising half of the Ter ritory's population, that portion of their Constitutional rights that has been taken away from them by small minority of the white residents of Alaska-this was the opinion of thirds of the Leg islature.

 A great deal of credit for the passage of this forward looking legislation is due to Russell May nard, Director of the Department of Public Welfare, who negotiated the agreements with MT.
