You've known them both for | some time, but you've never really known them until you see the new |MGM film (their first together), | “Men in White.” In the words of | a recent news pispatch from their director, Richard Boleslavsky: They're Perfectly Matched “They are the complement of one another. Each brings out the latent | appeal of the other.” Gable's ex- | treme masculinity and the distinct | feminity of Myrna Loy, amount- {ing almost to a feline quality at | times, bring to the screen one of | the most romantic and dramatic | film teams of the season. But romantic appeal is not the |only aspect of “Men in White.” It |is in itself a gripping story, stark {in its unveiled realism—a story of |life in a great modern hospital. From the outstanding stage play of the season of the same name, “Men in White” is a beautifully told and enacted tale of the strug- ! gles of a young physician over cir- | cumstances that plunge him into love with an heiress and into a | liaison with a nurse, Barbara. The tragic role of Barbara, play- ed by lovely Elizabeth Allan, is | poignant and charged with pathos. 'In a ringing performance she plays |it to the hilt. Perhaps the chief |charm of “Men in White’ 'is its | all-around cast, as fine a group of actors as any single production has ever seen. Such ‘‘name as Jean Hersholt, Otto Gruger, C. Henry Gordon, Russell Hardie, Wallace Ford, Henry B.

Company oficials here today said that Knight plans to stay in Ju- |neau about two weeks. He is here 'on a “good will” mission and will call on several city shippe: By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Nov. 12—Ny- dai Westman’s mother beiieved in | the old adage’s association of idle minds and devil's workshops. So the Westmans, who had al- ways “done things" for generations pack, kept on doing things—and Nydia Westman keeps up the tra- dition in Hollywood today. On her mother's side Nydia ‘laims claims four generations of wctors behind her. Her mother vas Lily Wren, who acted and wrote and designed for the stage while her father, Theodore West- man,” acted and composed. It was a theatrical family, all right, and when children were born the Westmans took them along on their stage tours. “When they had only two chil-; dren, that is,"” explained Nydia, “when the two became four there were too many of us to be carried on the stage and we all had to settle down a little.” Whole Family Collaborates For a theatrical family they managed quite a bit of home life. Sometimes the whole family would collaborate on producing a play, writing it, staging it, making the “props” and costumes, acting in it, doing the music for it. “In the course of our travels,” related Nydia, “we lived in a num- ber of houses. We always had to do things to them, painting wood- work, papering walls—I love paper- ing—renovating furniture. We sim- ply never were satisfied with things as they were, and just had to be creative about them. Once I re- member we painted ourselves right out of the house, having locked the back door, so all we could do was to go to a movie and wait for the paint to dry!” Nydia fills in her spare time by taking art lessons. When “on the road” she would enroll in art class- es for one, two or three days in one city, then repeat in the next, and consequently her instruction has been rather varied as to tech- nique. Whenever a film is finished | now, she goes to art school im- mediately. Likes To Sketch People | Most of her family leaned toward writing, but Nydia’s interest in that direction extends to ‘“loving to sit in on stories.” | She has the opportunity because | her sister, Lolita Ann Westman, | is a playwright and scenarist.

HEADS CREAT CAST ON Genevieve Tobin, Colleen Moore, Others in ‘Suc- | cess at Any Price’ A triumph of characterization is seen in a film of unusual power chock-full of entertaining qualities, | this being “Success At Any Price,” the new RKO Radio Picture which opened at the Coliseum Theatre yesterday with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Genevieve Tobin, Frank Mor- | gan and Colleen Moore. | An expertly selected and per- | fectly balanced cast makes the story | intensely human and credible. Fair- | banks is magnificent in his trans- |ition from the poor boy of the slums who rises to power. Colleen Moore shows all of her old charm and a new depth of personality, and the screen is richer for her return. Genevieve Tobin as a be- witching luxury-loving siren is ex- quisite. Frank Morgan gives a sin- cere, finished performance n a sympathetic role; and Edward Ev- erett Horton lightens the drama with his inimitable comedy. Other roles are capably handled by Ny- dia Westman, Allen Vincent and Henry Kolker. “Success At Any Price,” concerns Jr., wrote plays and had pro- duced one before his death.
