Edward Everett Horton makes the role of the slightly balmy theatrical producer stand out, and Nat Pendleton is good as the gang chief with the | soft heart and ear. Convincing | comedy villainy is contributed by Stanley Fields, Matt McHugh and Joe Sauers. The picture was direct- ed by William Seiter, who extract- ed the last drop of comedy from the many ludicrous situations. 0DD FELLOWS INSTALLATION At a2 meeting of Silver Bow LOdV(‘ No. A-2 1. O. O.

Howard the of direct and the manner of telling the story is so splendidly done. The shud- ders and creeks are managed with straint, rather than by flashy maneuvers and the matter of de- tail is expertly handled. The leading feminine role is en- acted by Miriam Jordan, who scor- ed well on the English stage before she came to the United States and was widely acclaimed by New York critics for her various performanc- es. Miss Jordan made her film de- but in “Six Hours To Live,” oppo- site Warner Baxter and John Boles. As Alice Faulkner in “Sher- lock Holmes,” she subdues Holmes v, giving a screen portrayal that is most effective. t Torrence plays the role of the super criminal, in a convincing manner that leaves lit- tle to be desired, while Reginald Owen makes a capable Dr. Watson. Herbert Mundin portrays a comedy | role of refreshing quality and oth- ers in the cast, who are eanal to the demands of their characteriza~- tions, are Stanley Fields, Howard Leeds, Roy D'Arcy, Brandon Hurst, Alan Mowbray, Montague Shaw and Lucien Prival. “Sherlock Holmes” is an exceed- ingly well made picture and as en- tertainment takes front rank among recent productions. e ATTENTION MOOSE All officers and members of L. 0.

This forceful dramatic star, whose former pic- tures,: such as “I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang,” “Scarf and. ‘“The World Changes,” have been screen sensations in the realm of the serious dnd the tragic, has at last turned to comedy. And what a comedian he is, you'll have to discover for yourself. The same dynamic and powerful qualities are es him securely as one of the most versatile stars of either stage or screen. He is truly a remarkable performer. As a matter of fact, “Hi, Nellie!” is not comedy alone. This fast- moving film possesses a tight, well knit dramatic story, as well as scores of laughs. But in the per- formances contributed by Muni and his supporting cast, and in the fine direction of Mervyn LeRoy, there is a crisp and breezy note which will endear the story to any audience. The hard-boiled managing edi- tor of a big metropolitan daily finds himself suddenly in hot water be- cause he has “fallen down” on the publisher's pet story. From his ace position on the newspaper, he is abruptly relegated to the “Love- lorn” column, where he must turn out a daily stint of balm for broken hearts. Not only that, but his by- | line is “Nellle Nelson.” How this | unlucky fellow, and good reporter, extricates himself from his difficul- ties by digging up the biggest news story of the decade provides a story of high entertainment \alue told at top speed.

The Carstens, composed of Mrs. Edith Bavard, Fred Barragar and H. L. Faulkner, won the first game last night by the narrow margin of four points. Then, the losers smashed through to their 37-point advantage in the second contest and tied things at one-all. But the third frame wa< a repetition of the first, the Carstens winning it by six points. Although the Parke-Davis can’t claim any title, it can get some consolation from the fact that it scored the most points last night, tallying 1306 to the win- ner’s 1,279, Joe Thibodeau, of the losers, was the high individual star, clicking 485.

TERRY SEES GREAT CLUB, FLAG BATTLE NEW YORK, Jan. 4—One Na- | tional League manager, at least, is‘ “‘set” for the 1935 flag fight, Bill Terry of the New York Giants. “Our deals at the league meet- ings accomplished just what we wanted,” was Terry's statement. “I consider the Giants as they stand now stronger than at any time since I became manager.” Considering the sensational fash- ion in which the Giants won the 1933 pennant and the world’s cham- pionship, this statement created a stir. It was made at a luncheon following the N. ‘ional League meeting, a social g ‘%ering at which Terry and the N York baseball writers discussed pians for the com; ing season and ineidentally dispell- led the widespread rumors of hos- | tility sald to exist between the Giants’ manager and his press as- sociates. “For one thing, we now have ade- quate reserve strength,” Terry pointed out. “Add that to our pitching, fielding and hitting and I honestly believe the Giants shape up better than they did year be- fore last. T don’t mean we are sure to win fhe pennant, but am con- fident we are going to be in the fight.” —e—— | The historical scuppernong vine, ' which Sir Walter Raleigh's first colonists found on Reanoke island, is there still.
