John Ford and Jack Benny, and Miss Shirley Temple, will please rise and take bows. Have you bowed, Mr. Fard? Yes? Then let’s talk about why. It’s the way you directed “Submarine Patrol.” It does you proud, sir. ‘When you break it down, “Submarine Patrol” is just a story about a little wooden sub-chaser doing its work in the late big war. ‘The SC-599 is a chas and it chases. A chase, especially when you do it, and work in your usual suspense and action, is the stuff that made the movies great. You've got two great chases in “Sub- marine Patrol,” both sizzlers. But you weren't satisfied. You had to put people like Warren Hymer and Slim .Summerville and George E. Stone and J. Farrell MacDonald in the crew, and give them all lines and bits of business that make each one of them a bit of a star. You had to put Preston Foster in there as skipper, and just to show you how he felt. Preston turned in his best work since you handled him in “The Informer.” You made it all revolve around a romance, or maybe it’s the other way around. You made dimpled Richard Greene extremely likeable, and I think this new kid, Nancy Kelly, is going to be a star the more quickly because of your movie. She has spirit, and beauty, and she can act. Oh, you knew that? Well, it’s good to see George Bancroft in a sizeable part again, and Henry Armetta has never been funnier—or Elisha Cook, Jr, or Maxie Rosenbloom, for that matter. I like the way you workec in those sentimental strains, Mr. Ford. You donm’t recall? Weil, the scenes of the splinter-boat putting out to sea, with the muggs aboard thinking thoughts as B Tt on a nippy evening-=-- there's one sure way to get warmed up, inside you and out, drop into Percy's for an evening special treat of steaming chili, chop suey or noodles—at -Percy’s ——3 I liked your they pass that old Manhattan skyline duty-bound. whole movie, in fact, sir. . . . Just one little bow, Shirley, and then home to your spinach. “Just Around the Corner,” little girl, there’s a career as a grown-up actress waiting for you. “Just Around the Corner” is one of your best movies, certainly your best in many a hundred miles of celluloid. They've given you a smart little story, full of laughs, and Director Irving Cummings has given you wider rein than your talents usually receive. The tomboy in you comes out, young lady, and it's to the good. I've a hunch there's many a tired business man, however rich, who'd like to have you give a benefit for him. You had plenty of help, Shirley. Cummings, first, and then the romantic support of Charlie Farrell and Amanda Duff, who is new, nice, and pretty. I liked your teammate, Bennie Bartlett, and of cpurse Joan Davis and Bert Lahr, and crusty old Claude Gillingwater, Bill” Robinson and the rest. “Just Aound the Corner,” thanks to the Jot of you, is very much worth seeing. Mr, Benny? Just one bow, please—and who asked you anything about flavors? Oh, you don't néed a reason to take a bow? You just do. regardless? Oke, sir. But without you “Artists and Models Abroad” wouldn't be much more than an average musical. Yeah, I know Joan Bennett's pretty, and the Yacht Club Boys'sing, and Charley Grapewin and Mary Boland are great. But it's you, my shrinking violet, that make it all click With you, ‘even that display of outlandish dresses and stuff by the best designers is funny—but, maye it wasn't intended to be.
