In “The Boy Friend,” Bell's Metro-Goldwyn Mayer production now playing at the Palace Thea- tre, he has one of the most charm-| ing satires in years. While a great many people will understand the picture and enjoy it only in ‘the surface vein in which it would appear, of satire, carefully concealed, that will appeal to the discriminating. . “The Boy Friend” is a satire ou the etiguette book, in this case as “The Book' of Charm,” and it offers Bell dozens bf opportunities for the display of his, particular brand of humor. An | ellent script was made for Bell| by Alice, D. G. Miller from the play, “The Book of Charm,” by John A! Kirkpatrick. . Marceline Day and John Harron bave the leading roles, and Ward iCrane, Gertrude Astor, Elizabeth Patterson, Otto Hoffman, Gwen “Lee, Maidel Turner, George K. Arthur and others are 'in the cast.

Sills is perhaps ong ©of the ‘Screen’s greatest advocates of the happy ending, and declares that such is the onmly thing for pic- tures. “I cannot bring myself to be. Heve that we sHould have tragic endings in our pletures,” says Sills. “There really is far more HBappiness in life than there is tragedy. If there were not, well— f am of. the opinion that life would just cease to be.

Mamie Lou Goddard had prob- ably the most difficult feminine characterization to portray, and her impersondtion of the old maid sister Johu Gray was well carried. Her efforts to *“land” the Rev. Amos Meek, which final- ly resulted in her taking Tod, the butler, furnished much amuse- ment to the audience: Harry Sperling and *'Dutch” carried off the honors the male roles, Speriing, as the father, who faked the story of “King Boo Hoo” to cover up his good times in California, when he was supposed to have been in the South Sea Islands, played his in part nicely and hrought the houso| down when his moustache refused | to stay “pnt” in the firat.ect. An- other m. came from the audi- ence when C. H. MacSpadden, Steve Gray, John's son, appear on the scene and noticed his fath. decor ha disap- as on peared. | Playing in his usual easy man ner and with good stage presenca,’ “Dutch” Bernhofer, King Boa Hoo, furnished many laughs for his audience, while his songs: were all well rendered. His request for Maxine’s hand from her father and the consequences which fol lowed furnished m of the riment of the evening. Carrying one of the parts, that of Steve Gray, son of John Gray, C. H. MacSpadden’s worship of the “King,” with whom' leading he turned the tables on his fath-| er, wag one of the funny features of the two act play. Billy Biggs, as the Rev. Ames Meek, who in vain (until the con- clusion of the play) sought his Peerless Priscilla, was unbeatable as a preacher, and brought gales of laughter, which reached their peak during his love scene Priscilla. Nadja Vestal, who played part of Maxine, portrayed part well, and was well and ably assisted by Muriel Jarman, one of Juneau's latest “finds” took the role of Maxine’s friend and helped her put the over on John Gray. | numbors, " { scoops " i freight who | DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY MARCH 21, 1928. all be- and 'ln Juncau for some timo, ing. unusually well presented different than the usual run Members of the ensemble Singers—Helen Bernhofer, Judson, Belva Willi Krugness, Hazel Petrich @ Williams; Dancers—Ha Betty Barragar, Ren Zenia Kashavaroff, Dorothy Bakk Alice Merritt, Kathicen { Mock, Grace Megzitt, Verna Hur: ley and Edna Reindean “Dutch” appeared twice once sing 1 to “I'm the Kid That Built the Pyramid,” and ren- dered, with Nadja Vestal, a duet :ntitled “As Long as 1 Have You."
