After a rather nondescript ex- istence, including street fights and run-ins with police, Je settles down to the serious task of earn- boy. His sales become so enormous ithat he hires other boys to work under him. A successful new: . paper distributing agency eventu- ally materializes and Jerry finds himself growing wealthy and in- fluential. A rival, Wire Arnold, who oper- ates a race sheet syndicate, comes between Jerry and Mary Ellen— breaking up the romance. Jerry, disappointed, turns toward a so- ciety debutante, and his new life in the fashionable whirl coupled with mneglect of his business, |changes him completely. Seeking revenge on Arnold, Jerry ,instigatas a rival dope-sheet in an \effort to run him out of business. ‘Thls attempt also fails. Broken and | disillusioned, Jerry is about ready |to give up everything, but a swift culmination of events finally turns the tide. Mary Ellen, realizing her mistake, returns to him. Wire Ar- nold is defeated by his own ruth- |less plans to ruin Jerry. Hollywood Sights And Sounds Oy Rabbia Ceses “Confessions of a Nazi Spy.” Screenplay by Milton Krims and John Wexley. Directed by Anatole Litvak. Cast: Edward G. Rob- inson, Francis Lederer, George Sanders, Paul Lukas, Henry O'Neill, Dorothy Tree, Lya Lys, Grace Stafford, Celia Sibelius, Joe Sawyer, and others. Narration by John Deering. Cal.,, May 18—Hollywood's first admittedly pro-American, anti-dictator—is a novelty that Comes off, in fact, as an HOLLYWOOD, propaganda picture comes off hetter than you'd expect. engrossing and dramatic movie. It concerns the Nazi “spy ring” uncovered, and brought to trial in New York last year, and it covers the subject unflinchingly, with trip-hammer blows, asking for an American opinion aroused against the activities of the various Bunds as well as an awareness of the espionage system it defails. The style of presentation is that employed in the “March of Time” series and is effective for the material. The nominal star, Robinson, makes a belated appearance as federal investigator, after Lukas as a Bund leader, Lederer as an egomaniacal dimwit spy, and Sanders as a hardboiled Nazi have walked off with the masculine acting honors. Lya Lys, nominally the feminine lead, is seen only in a flash or two, and Dorothy Tree, as a spy, takes the feminine laurels. News-reel shots are effectively cut into the narrative. “Confessions” is bound to cause controversy, and on its fate depends the making of more anti-dictator films now pending. “Juarez.” Screenplay by John Huston, Aeneas MacKenzie, Wolfgang Reinhardt. Directed by William Dieterle. Cast: Paul Muni, Bette Davis, Brian Aherne, Claude Rains, John Garfield, [ SO itdoesn’tmatter.... which side of the bed you get out after a breakfast at Percy’s you're sure fo be sei for a big, gloriousday . . . PERCY’S e Donald Crisp, Joseph Calleia, Gale Sondergaard, Gilbert Roland, Henry O'Neill, Harry Davenport ,and others. This painstaking production of the story of Mexico’s national hero, Don Benito Juarez, has the dignity of a lecture on democ- racy, and it must be met half-way by any audience that wants the maximum of enjoyment available therein. ‘The unusually fine cast is headed by a Muni unrecognizable in make-up, a Davis who is emotionally stirring, and an Aherne who surmounts the handicap of some of the worst, but historically authentic, whiskers any actor ever had to fight. The theme of democracy, exemplified in unrelenting Juarez, is dominant. Tops in the supporting cast: Garfield as Juarez's general, Diaz. “Union Pacific.” Screenplay by Walter DeLeon, C. Gardner Sullivan and Jesse Lasky, Jr. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille. Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Akim Tamiroff, Robert Preston, Lynne Overman, Brian Donlevy, Robert Barrat, Anthony Quinn, Stanley Ridges, Henry Kolker, Re Toomey, J. M. Kerrigan, etc. “Dodge City,” an earlier glorified western of this type, had everything but the kitchen sink and Indians. “Union Pacific” has everything, plus Indians. Building of the first cross-country railroad is the background for a rousing, two-fisted melodrama of the old school, liberally interspersed with historical scenes. McCrea, the hero, is the trouble shooter along the line, out to fight and conquer the villain (Donlevy) who is paid to delay the road’s progress in any possible manner. Stanwyck is the en- gineer’s daughter who loves the hero but marries Bob Preston (per- sonable new find) to save the hero’s life. In the end, of course, when everything conceivable by DeMille has happened, love tri- umphs. But it's grand, spectacular stuff a good deal of the way. Included in the well-rounded cast are such screen luminaries as Ali- son Skipworth, Victor Varconi, Wil- liam Benedict, Gloria Rich, and many others.
