AT THE MOVIES | Tugboat Annie’ Tickles and Tugs ‘At Heartstrings Btory of Invincible ‘Lady Skipper’ Gets Laughs and Tears at Same Time Screen fans, who have been clam- ring for a return to the screen of Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery ever since “Min and Bill,” have their wish granted at the Paramount Thea- tre where “Tugboat Annie,” with the beloved Marie as the redoubtable fem- inine tugboat skipper of Puget Sound, 4s now playing. Based on Norman Reilly Raine’s Saturday Evening Post stories, film- ed on actual locales, with real thrills of ship rescues in storms, and the amazing feat of Beery who repairs a boiler, by going into a blazing fire- box at sea, the new Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer picture shows the pair in com- ical quarrels, mingled with episodes of poignant heart interest. Mervyn Le Roy, who directed “I Am ® Fugitive” and other hits, directed the picture, adapted to the screen personally by the author of the orig- inal stories. An elaborate cast in- cludes Robert Young and Maureen| OSullivan as the young lovers, Wil- lard Robertson, Tammany Young, Frankie Darro, Jack Pennick and Paul) Hurst in waterfront character roles. Clever camera work amid the mari-| time thrills, storms and adventures adds a tang of excitement to the vivid dew production.

Yet few literary works designed for the stage Possess the tense dramatic situations he has created. What modern play, for instance, boasts a more affecting bit of pathos than the death of little Nell, in “The Old Curiosity Shop?” What domestic drama can surpass David Copperfield's heart-breaking realization of the inadequacy of his child-wife, Dora? Not to mention “A Tale of Two Cities,” the most stir- ring romance that grew out of the French Revolution. But of all Dickens’ works, none Tuns the gamut of human emotions as completely as does Oliver Twist, which Monogram presents for the first time on the talking screen. This great human interest story, at the Capitol theater today and tomorrow, offers not only heart-breaking pathos, SURPRISED AGAIN!
