 Screen Portrayal

The Loew-Poli theater is now presenting two-hit show, consist ing of "The Hoodlum Saint" and Breakfast in Hollywood"
 To the legion of Tom Breneman fans Breakfast in Hollywood" will be a sheer delight. Tn the film, the genial host dominates most of the footage-playing the good sa- maritan, the clown or cupid. He emerges as a lovable personality who hits the jackpot in his first screen role.
 Carrying the love interest are Bonita Granville and young Eddie Ryan who find romance through the good offices of Breneman. Time and again they are guided by him through the stormy seas that plague their courtShip. Beulah Bondi plays an 82-year old woman who achieves her hearts desire when she attends a Breakfast in Hollywood" broadcast and is presented with an orchid by Breneman because she is the oldest woman there. She, too, mas an integral part in the story as do Hedda Hopper, Raymond Wal burn, Billie Burke, and Zasu Pitts.
 The film is studded with out- standing musical contributions from romantic Andy Russell, who sings, If I had a Wishing Ring" Spike Jones and His City Slickers, again offer few hilarious numbers. The King Cole Trio round outt he mu- sical offerings.
 The HoOdlum Saint" brings William Powell and Esther Will Hams to the screen in the engross- ing story of man who loses faith in the world until he is won over by group of hoodlums who have been aided by their beliefs in Saint Dismas, patron of buns. The Splen- did work of Powell and Miss Will Hams is ably abetted by a number of sterling supporting perform ances, among them those of An gela Lansbury, James Gleason, Lewis Stone, Rags Ragland Frank McHugh and Slim Summer vile.

When Q yeWngSter is exposed, for Q week or two, to the fowery super latiyes that garnish all studio con- yersations, it's small wonder if his sense Of word values becomes dis torteG. Consider, for instance, six year-old Anthony Sydes, 2Oth Gen. tury-Fox's new child discovery. when he finished his first screen role last week and returned to school, his teacher asked him to tell the other children of his ex- periences. At home, that evening.
