Angel in the Wings" which near

your correspondent, is a select item
on Broadway for one splendid rea-
son. 1t offers the Hartmans In
quantity but without sacrifice Of
quality. They are on the stage for
whatever of two and one-half hours
is not needed for costume changes.
This is fine arrangement, for
while Hank Ladd and the others
who fill in are competent enough,
no one patiently can take the place
of the Hartmans.
The dance satire speciality which
made the team the pet of fashion,
able people in the night clubs is
only minor item in the Hartmans
revue. 1t merely opens the show.
After a few minutes of that, they
strip off those immaculate Park
avenue evening wardrobes and climb
into their new work clothes. These
latter include everything from ex-
plorers khaki shorts to college
dungarees and, In the shows most
jeering piece of satire, sleep outfits
which should strip the last illusion
from these breakfast with Tex-and
Jinx morning radio shows.
BY the time the Hartmans have
finished their good-natured ridicule
Of modern life, only the Hartmans
have a leg to stand on. This is an
intelligent piece of natural conser-
vation.
Angel in the Wings" which the
Hartmans promise to tour when it

New Musical Sings
of An Earlier Day
At the Capitol

What most people remember
about 1929 has nothing to do with
its songs. In fact these probably
will be surprised there were songs
of the period, for certainly there
was nothing to sing about.
Well, this is where goth Century
Fox is different. 1t does remember
the songs of 1929 and what is more
Lit has assembled them into a senti-
mental musical, You Were Meant
for Me-" It opened yesterday at
the Capitol theater, and, as such
things 60, it is an agreeable COM
position of the melodic, nostalgia
and the simple. Moreover, it as
sembles cast of handsome young
humans headed by Jeanne Grain
and Dan Daley, and then tosses
in Oscar Levant, probably for con-
ltrast.
The background of you Were
Meant for Me" Is principally a
series of middle western colleges
with sort of headquarters set up
at Bloomington, Ill, site of Illinois
Wesleyan. Peoria, Terre Haute
and a number of like places are
rung in, principally to illustrate
how name bands toured in those
days, but also to give the whole
thing a suitably wholesome flavor
The name band in this case is
presided over by Dan Daley. He
Is a charmer in a blue coat and
white f1annels and the night he
plays that prom engagement in
Bloomington, shy, sweet Miss Grain
falls in love with him. In their own
minds, the romance is to be the
unique love OF the period, but the
script writer's let them down. All
the latter have been able to
imagine Is another narrative of the
emotional hardships of two young
sters bouncing on the tides of pop
ular music. There have been two
dozen identical arrangements OF
their misunderstanding and re-
cancellations, although this one is
conducted as engagingly~ as any
could be.
Whatever revelations the Capt.
tolls picture has to make of 1925
music are concerned primarily with
showing that 1t has not changed
much since. In their softly syrupy
moments, Americans were singing
such ballads as the title song,
Good Night, Sweetheart" and "I1l
Get By" When they felt a tickling
in their toes, the band swung into
Crazy Rhythm" and when their
hearts turned coy, they dropped
into "Ain't Misbehavin'," and Amt
She Sweet"
Amt" was the very essence Of
humor in lyrics then and there is
no doubt it is a word that does
something for song.
Nor is there any that its songs do
just about everything for You
Were Meant for Me"

upon the teams unique gift fol
clowning, the Hartmans' sense thai
there are some imbecile things 60
ing on in the world which shoule
be pointed out to everybody.
They point eXpertly.
There is even hint of theil
ability to pass on this expertness in
diagnosis of humanity's frailties ir
their show. Listed abruptly among
the authors of material for "AngeI
in the Wings" is a young man called
Ted Luce. The truth is that he Is
the Hartmans' offspring, veteran
with a reluctance to appear to be
trading on the fanilys illustrious
reputation for comedy.

AS host and hostess of the Coro-
nets gay party, the Hartmans carry
on in the style that made them the
Nations leading cafe entertainers
They accept as their first duty the
necessity of creating the sense OF
intimacy. With Grace as the teams
fiuttery spokeswoman, and Paul as
a kind of eloquent imbecile masque
of mankind, they get that over in a
few minutes. Afterward every one
shares a fine, high evening.
1t is quite variety OF contem-
porary follies to which the Hart
mans give their attention. The high
point among these is attained in a
skit which demolishes these morn
ing -at-home breakfast programs
The point of the sketch, illustrated
with deadly pantomime by Paul, is
that even the participants in these
things can be made sick by their
bogus enthusiasm. The immediate
cause of his illness is a recipe ovel
which the rest of those on the pro-
gram are working up a proper syn
thetic rapture.
Trailer Trouble" perhaps the
runner-up item, deals with life in
one of those lethally snug shelters
in which ex-GIs carry on with their
college educations and with their
memories of the girls, some of whom
they could not leave behind In
Berlin.
All the Hartmans' hard-earned
knowledge of night club entertainers
and customers is hilariously wrapped
up in a skit which proves that it is
after all, more fun to initiate Hide
garde than to be Hildegarde. Scores
of imitators have raised serious
doubt of this, but the Hartmans
bring everything back to normal

To Get 0Ieo Measure

The important question of which

decided tomorrow.
The decision, to be made by Sem

reached Friday due to the log jam
over housing legislation. AS soon
as the housing question is settled,
