PHONE 34 o Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons “The Dawn Patrol.” Original story by John Monk Saunde Directed by Edmund Goulding. Errol Flynn (Courtney), Basil Rathbone (Major Brand), David Niven (Scott), Donald Crisp (Phipps). HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 7.—This film of aerial warfare over France in 1915 is at once a salute to courage and a powerful plea for peace. Originally filmed in 1930 with Richard Barthelmess and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in the present Flynn and Niven roles, “The Dawn Patrol” was one of Warner Bros.” most proftiable ven- tures., The current version, thanks to splendid performance, cogent writing and pointed direction, should do as well--aided per- haps by its new timeliness in this unsettled world. The Royal Flying Corps, ill-equipped with planes and its man- power down to the rawest of youthful recruits, is seen waging a gallant daily struggle against German aces Rathbone, commanding officer, is cracking under the strain. Grounded by duty, he must send up his fledgling fliers to almost certain death. He is sure he has only the scorn ol s Lwo aces, Flynn and Niven, daring comrades. When circumstances retire Rathbone and leave Flynn in com- mand, the latter soon understands. Realization of Rathbone's emotional torment becomes acute when it is his duty to send up—to death—-Niven’s kid brother. In the end, Flynn contrives gallantly to give up his own life for his friend. Spectacular aerial flights, bombings, narrow escapes point up the horrors of warfare, suggest greater horrors that may lie in new conflict. The quiet philosophy of Crisp, the horseplay and comedy 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 || r— of brave men always facing doom, the drama of scraped and rasping nerves make “The Dawn Patrol” poignantly memorable. “Kentucky.” Original story by John Taintor Foote. Directed by David Butler. Loretta Young, Richard Greene, ‘Walter Brennan. £ This saga of horse-racing has three superb performances—by Brennan, by the horseflesh beauties, and by the color camera. The story of a feud between two old Kentucky families, both stable owners, has the anticipated finale in the Kentucky Derby. Miss Young (never more beautiful) and Greene (ditto) are a Romeo and Juliet of the turf, and convincing enouglr in their roles, but it is Brennan as a supreme judge of horseflesh who steals ¥ the acting honors with the first legitimate interpretation of its kind the screen has seen. The romance, thé background, the comedy, the thrill finish combine to make “Kentucky” out- standing. Story by Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell. Directed by W. S. Van Dyke. Jeanette Mac- Donald, Nel: Eddy, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Florence Rice, Mischa Auer, Herman Bing, Reginald Gardiner, etc. Using Victor Herbert and other music, “Sweethearts” is the amusing tale of two stage stars, happily married, who can’t get away from their fame. Their families and the cotérie of syco- phants to their long-run production nearly drive them:to.the “peace” of Hollywood—and practically to divorce. It’s light- weight stuff, with song, comedy, romance, fashion display and brilliant spectacle intermingled to give every type of customer a run for his money. And it’s photographed—radiantly—in this constantly improving color. “Sweethearts.”
