fell through. The comedian

Charles Boyer and Jennifer
Jones have at long last been
brought together under the
magic spell of the fabulous Lu-
bitsch touch" to provide local
movie-goers with the gayest,
. most excitingly romantic screen
~event in years. "Cluny Brown"
the 20th Century-Fox film in
which they are starred, and
which is now showing at the
Paramount Theatre, stands head
and shoulders-laughs and ro-
mance-over anything this sea-
son has yet, or is likely to pro-
duce.
So plum pudding rich in sheer
entertainment is this wonderful
film treat, that this reviewer is
at a happy loss for starting
point from which to begin sing
ing its praises. Rarely has a
picture been peopled with so
many delightfully."- out-of-this-
world characters, or told so de-
liciously zany story as this
filInization of Margery Sharp's
best-selling novel. Rarely has a
picture been so skillfully cast or
.superbly acted. And, as for pro-
uction and direction, "Cluny
Brown" finds Ernst Lubitsch's s
sly genius for sparkling roman
tic comedy at the very peak of
perfection - which should be
more than enough for anybody'S
money.
AS the millions who read the
novel must know, "Cluny
Brown" is the story of two un-
predictable and uninhibited peo-
pie who don't belong" any,
where-eXcept in each others
arms. There's Cluny (Jennifer
Jones), whose irrepressible urge
to be lady plumber causes her
r uncle to exile her to a country
estate to serve in the less CLAM
orouS capacity of a ladies' maid.
And, there's Belinski (Charles
Boyer), a carefree and restless
refugee who harbors some start
, ling theories on the subject of
achieving happiness. Inevitably,
their paths cross and become en-
tangled in the most uproarious
series of situations that ever
splintered a funnybone.
How Cluny loses her chance
for a perfect marriage" with
the village pharmacist (thanks
to an untimely recurrence of her
plumbing urge); how BeIinski
inadvertently finds himself the
third member of a triangle in
volving his outraged host and
the latter's equally outraged
Wife-to-be; and how Cluny and
Belinski finally find each other
In the wackiest climax ever
screened, makes for high, fast
and solid entertainment from
a start to finish.

Stage Is Best
Path TO Films,
Advises Star

HOLLYWOOD-So you want
to be a movie actor?
Then, mister or miss-as the
case may be-if you want TO be
good actor you must make a
beeline for the nearest theater in
your vicinity, whether that be
New York City or Oshkosh. In
other words-get on the stage
and behind the footlights.
From One Who Knows
All this is the advice of Robert
Montgomery, a man who should
know since, after acting in fifty
motion pictures, he is now be-
hind the camera telling other
actors how to emote.
Montgomery is making his
bow as director in M-G-M's
Lady In The Lake, an exciting
mystery story in which he also
plays the star role. Having be-
gun his own career on the
Broadway stage, Bob has always
subscribed to the theory that
every actor must have some
stage training if he expects to
make a lasting success on the
screen.
During my sixteen years in
Hollywood" he says, Il have
seen a lot of actors come and go
With a few notable exceptions
the ones who have stayed are
the ones who once worked be,
fore live audiences from theatel
stages, Carson, Gable, Tracy
Hepburn, Colbert and Others
who have been at the top fol
years all got their start on the
stage" !"
Cameras Eye Sharp
According to Montgomery
stage training provides an actor
with the professional tools ht
will find a must when he step!
before the camera.
"On the stage an actor gains :
sense of timing which is abso
lutely essential in the movies
The all-seeing eye of the cam
era makes it necessary that
performer give even the flicke,
, of an eyelid the right timing,
he declares.
!, "It Is a business and require
constant Jtudy, application an
: a moderate amount of intelli
gence from the actor if he ex
r poets to be successful.
:, So, mister or miss, IL your
: planning on being a movie acto
: make a detour to the neares

Deoth Takes John PheIon

New York, Jan. 23-(UPl--Maj.- Gen. John J. Phelan, 73, long a stormy petrel in the boxing world, died at Polyclinic Hospital last night. He had been in poor health since receiving news of the deaths of his son and step-son in action last May.
 Phelan had been a member of the New York State Boxing Commits sion since it was set up after the Walker law legalized he sport in the state in 1920.
 He served as chairman of the commission from 1883 when James 4. Farley resigned and held the post until last year when Gov. Thomas E. Dewey named Eddie Eagan chairman. Phelan. a Demo- crat, was retained as a member of the commission.
 It was during his days as chair man that Phelan was the central figure in many boxing feuds. One of the most notable was with Gene Tunney, then heavyweight cham piOn Of the world.
 Ten days after Phelan was ad- ytsed last April that his step-son Lt.-Col. Richard H. Mattern had been killed in action in the Pacific, he was advised by the War Depart ment that his son, Lt.-Col. John q. Phelan, JF.. had been killed in ac- ton in Italy. His health began to fail rapidly after that.
 He is survived by his second wife and three daughters - Mrs. Jack Mara mad Mrs. George ROhFs, both { New York, and Mrs. Vrain Cum ningham of Washington, D. Q.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

 This years voting was the result of Q new system whereby the writers were requested to name 70 worthies ln a nominating pool. The 2l players receiving the most votes in the initial nominations were placed on e new balloting list and required 75 per cent of the final votes cast for election.
 Committee-Inembers on the Hall of Fame board were certain that this years new form of voting would install at least one candidate, but it appeared even less effective than the old form which required a candidate to receive 75 per cent of the total votes without @ pre- liminary nominating contest.
 Little Johnny Evers, the spark plug of the Cubs famous Tinker to Evers to Chance double play com- bine, was close at Chances heels with llO, and Miller Huggins, the aggressive Yankee manager of yes- teryear polled l06 votes.
 Ed walsh, one-tine Chicago White Sox spit-ball hurler, gained l06 also and Rube Waddell, the ec- centric Philadelphia Athletic and St. Louis Brown twirler. completed the top-five with 87 votes.
 Following Wadden came Clark Griffith, Washington Senator owner who was 6 star pitcher at one time. with 82 votes: Carl Hub bell, who now heads the New York Giants scouting system, 75 votes; Frankie Frisch, Pittsburg Pirate manager, 67 votes; Gordon (Adickey) Cochrane, 65 votes: Ro- bert Moses 0efty) Grove, 6i votes and Harold (Pie) Traynor, 53 votes.

 As a result the following men were installed into basebali's shrine:
