little Cousin Arne q choice Norwe-
gian swear word to ease the pain OF
a knee recently operated on.
There's Uncle Chris magnificent
departure from the world he had
roared through, deathbed scene
done with appreciative humor.
There Is Katrin's coming Of age, a
matter involving graduation pres
ent and a treasured heirloom, that
is quite touching. Finally there is
Katrin,s sale of her first story, and
mama's sad admission Of the lie
she has been living all these years.
All Of this is acted in an au-
thentic and favorsome San Fran
cisco OF circa 1910, town of hills
and cable cars. 1t is acted superbly
too. AS the remembered mama,
Irene Dunno gives a fine, under
standing performance, one, in fact
that might easily be called memoir
able. Barbara Bel Geddes Is most
refreshing and sensitive Katrin and
male moviegoers must be falling In
love with her in droves. If all girls
were as beautiful and alluring when
well scrubbed as Miss Bel Geddes,
Max Factor would be looking for a
new trade.
Others in the cast are almost
equally good. Oscar Homolka adds
a fine buster as Uncle Chris. Ed

timid Mr.. Thorkleson, proves to be

Philip Dorm, Sir Cedric Hardwicke,

The late, great French actor,
Harry Baur. often could turn out
the heaviest dramatics this side of
Emil Jannings, but in "Volpone" he
was having an actors broad comedy
field day. So was Louis Jouvet, an
other Frenchman of talent, playing
Mosca to Mr.. Baur's Volpone. The
result of their sparring now Is on
display at the Hippodrome In an
occasionally bawdy translation of
Ben Johnson's famed play.
Mr.. johnson being an early be-
lever in comedy which springs from
character, "Volpone" was a mighty
funny play. The adaptation, by a
pair of modern men of literary emf
nence, Jules Roman and Stefan
zweig, has turned it into mighty
funny screen play. 1t is not for ten
der eyes and ears, maybe, but 1t still
is funny.

It was an array of colorful char
acters that turned up around the
San Francisco home where Katrir,
the IT" of the title, was growing
up and dreaming of being a writer
in the early years of the century.
The most colorful, no doubt, was
bluff, loud, boisterous Uncle Chris,
who frightened the children until
they knew him and who was looked
upon by three of his neices with
distaste until he died and they
learned how he had spent his
money.
There was Mr.. Hyde, the roomer
who read to the family and finally
slipped away without paying his
