The hit songs from that gay
old musical. mo, No Nanette"
have been wrapped as prettily as
a $40 pound of candy in ''Tea for
Two" the Technicolor musical
which opened yesterday at the
Warner. In fact, the size and
brilllance of the package indicates
that Hollywood is getting it's old
confidence back.
This Tea for Two" is the work
of Warner Bros. whose top mu-
Sical team at the moment is Doris
Day and Gordon MacRae. They
are in the chief roles backed up
by such other members of the
varsity as Eve Arden, Billy De-
Wolfe, and S. z. Sakall, the latter
of whom is becoming virtually in
evitable.
Apart from the production law
ishness of it all-the costuming
is downright reckleSs-the best
thing about Tea for Two" is it's
music. 1t was the work of such
sure touch composers as Vincent
YoumanS, Irving Caesar and Ira
Gershwyn. This screen use of it
will acquaint a lot of new model
humans with the source of a few
popular song hits such as II Only
Have Eyes for YOU" IF You
Know What I Know" and Il
Want to Be Happy
These will now know that COM
posers were writing some mighty
solid tunes back in dads salad
days, an era at which some late
comers are inclined to scoff.
David Butler has directed ''Tea
for Two" with enough keeness to
know its book is the sheerest of
nonsense. Instead of trying to
sell the story of ar heiress who
wanted to back big musical pro-
duction, he has tried to bring it
off with such spirit that Che story
will be lost.
This he accomplisheS by putting
his big company in a handsome
suburban setting, banking flowers
around for Miss Days and Mac
Rae's songs, and clearing a big
enough area for Billy DeWolfe's
slapStick.
Actually the most engaging
areas of Tea for Two" are those
dominated by new screen dancer
Gene Nelson and a tall, red-head
Patricia Wymore, who has been
in the news lately as Enrol Flynn's
latest f1ancee. Nelson particu-
larly is a bright new talent who
gives brilliance to the well staged
dances of the musicals, especial
ly a number called Cray
Rhythm.

Local talent at it's enthusiastic
best and screen actors at their
professional best make the Capt.
tolls twin bill this week an
entertainment highlight.
On the stage is the 18th edition
of the late Gene Ford's Going
Native" revue and a colorful,
smartly paced show it is, too.
But to spare you any such thing
as boredom of sitting through e
routine movie while waiting for
Going Native" the Capitol has
as its screen attraction a corking
good detective yarn, Mystery
Street."
A lot of imagination has gone
into the staging of "Goinig Ma
tive" and it is apparent from the
tricky introduction, "On the
Beam" to the grand finale. Credit
for this, of course, belongs to
Carter Barron, Allan Zee, Joe,
Margolis and Kay Ford, who
supervised and produced the
show.
There seems to be more genuine
talent among the homefolks this
year, too. with operate baritone
Jack Stoll, impersonator Tommy
Allen and an acrobatic trio, The
Three Cliffs. particularly out
standing.
If there is a slow spot in the
show. it is that filled by magician
Ed Vernon. He is passable
enough magician, but his tricks,
in many instances, cannot be seen
and appreciated by the whole
audience.
Mervin Conn, an accordian
teacher here. should be, and is,
a master of his instrument. Par
ticularly effective is. Lady of
SPAIN" played on miniature
accordlan.
Stoll, as we said, seems destined
for bigger things, and Allen has a
genuine talent for mimicry. He
could use some better material,
though.
June Elliott sings in the ap-
parently accepted style of most
girl singers today, which could
be considered a compliment if you
like that kind of singing. Some
very good harmonica playing is
produced by the Al-Fred-Al trio,
and the Three Cliffs, as already
noted, do some amazing aero
battles for an amateur, or even
professional group.
Interspersed through the show
are four production numbers
which rate praise for their stag
ing, lighting and costuming. and
feature a chorus line which is
to be commended.
Particularly good is the grande
waltz ballet, featuring soloist
Ernest Suit and ballerina Lar
landa. F&
Going Native" is in the best
tradition of its originator. Gene

compliment it can receive.

THE CAST

Convicted" at the metropolitan
is a better melodrama than a grea
many more pretentious movie
that fall into the same category
1t breaks away so pleasantly from
the pattern of prison pictures tina
the only decent thing to do is for
give it for its few soap opera
touches.
Moreover, it is acted with in.
telligence by a Columbia cas-
headed by Broderick Crawford
Glenn Ford and Millard Mitchell
They are performers who obviously
appreciate a chance to show the
that convict life has it's occasional
lighter side. On the whole, they
give Convicted" sanity ano
honesty that commands it tc
every one sick of Sadism.
The Met feature, based upon a
Martin Flavin play, is the story
of a decent guy (Ford) who
slugged and killed a barroom
nuisance. The District Attorney
Crawford knows it is an acci-
dent that might happen to any
citizen spending a night in the
town. Nevertheless, despite his
only half hearted prosecution, the
nice kid goes to prison for one to
10 years.
A few years later, the D. A. be-
comes warden of the prison, thus
bringing together two decent
types ina situation that is dis
tinctly uncomfortable for both. 1t
also is dramatic in quite a diff
ferent, and considerably superior,
way to the arrangement of two
heels in the same situation.
The excitement of Convicted
centers in the clash of the codes
of Ford and Crawford. Each is
equally fixed in his basic loyalty,
in Ford's case to the friends he has
made in his Imprisonment, Craw-
ford's TO his duty as pubic SerV-
ant.
There are a lot more comedy
passages in the Met melodrama
than in most, cenJerlng mainly
in the tough. sly, wise-cracking
convict played by Mitchell. They
are not stressed at the expense of
truly exciting scenes, the best of
which is the prisoners revenge on
a stool pidgeon FranK Faylem
with a neat murder in the ward
ems Office.
The chance to act like human
beings in an environment which
has been pictured heretofore as
completely inhuman acts as a nice
inspiration to the cast of Con
victed" Ford, Crawford, Mitchell,
Faylen and half a dozen others
create more of drama in the pic
ture than dozen similar size per-
formers equipped with tommy
guns.

No Cause For Despair

The election results in the east and in other localities
where friends of the working people beaten by Labors
enemies give real cause for despair The results not
unexpected in informed Labor circles.
Of this much may be absolutely certain: Labor did
not vote its full strength In fact is doubtful half of
the and of Labor who could vote if they would
take the trouble registered This is true because Labor
has not organized for political action and when Labor
does organize has done the economic field results
will be far different may take another depression how
Of the enemies of Labor had the money and they
spent in huge chunks In Ohio where Taft passed the hat
all the country untold millions spent to reeect
him. and now from what he says he going out to get
with the Unions.
What happened in the last election is not important
after ALL What is much important is the lesson
should have learned If did not learn it, will do
later make mistake about that The enemies of the work
ing people determined to teach the lesson which
that to be successful either Unions political
tenders must organize organize That the key to the
situation.
Organized Labor, after ALL represents the hopes and
ideals of the people of America It's sole purpose
to raise the living standards of the toers. AS such
agency it cannot be defeated though may be turned back
again and again. Eventually inevitably Labor will win back
it's rights and the Tafts will not even be remembered

Thanks From The Railroads

Government subsidies pretty awful.
SO say the railroads of America. They conveniently
overlook the fact that the Government subsidized the rail
roads themselves in the 18th century by giving them out
right tenth of the land of the United States
return for that subsidy the railroads agreed to haul
government freight free of charge. Then they got bill
through Congress which allowed them to charge the Gov
eTnment one half of their regular rates.
And in the 10th Congress- their buddies Capitol Hill
okayed to let the rail lines charge Uncle Sam full
freight fare
Worst of all however, the railroad during World War IL
and before the law had been changed allowing them to
charge the u full freight rates instead of half the fare
made the taxpayers pay twice much for hauling and
other equipment charged for hauling grain say
furniture.
War material, said the railroads, Special equip
ment' Thus, it should be shipped at special price
That's the way the railroads of the country have thank
ed their Government for giving them millions and millions
of acres of land.

The NAM crowd continues to tell us that supply
