Juneau, August 3. — Sunrise, 3:5¢ a.m.; sunset, 8:15 p.m. Hollywood Sights Axd Sowads By Robbls Cosa OLE A MILLION.” Screenplay by Nathanael West from story by Lester Cole. Directed by Frank Tuttle. Cast: George Raft, Claire Trevor, Dick Foram, Victor Jory, Henry Armetia, George Chandler, Irving Bacon, Tom Fadden; Robert Elliott, Joe Sawyer. HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 2—The boy who feuded with Para- mount over a succession of bad-boy roles has another here in a smoothly plotted, action-filled, and generally satisfying cops-and- robbers melodrama. o “I Stole a Million,” however, is on a higher level than most films of its type. Sound writing and forceful direction, together Wit e playing, give it & gripping emotional -and Pevaiclogical § appeal. b 4 Raft plays a good guy, albeit a weakling, who starts “going wrong” through a minor, unintentional infraction. Before he can do much about it, he is deep, and proceeds through weak- ness to get in deeper. He's a full-fledged fugitive by the time he meets Laura (Trevor), but he tries to go straight. The law closes in again after they are married, and the web of crime grows ever tighter, forcing the inevitably tragic finish. The crime-does-not-pay theme is carried out relentlessly, al- though with understanding of this particular criminal’s more sympathetic qualities. Raft is good in his assignment, Miss Trevor excellent in hers. “THE MAGNIFICENT FRAUI Screenplay by G‘llbert Gab- riel and Walter Ferris from story by Charles G. Booth. Directed by Robert Florey. Cast: Akim Tamiroff, Lloyd Nolan, Mary Boland, Patricia Morison, Ralph Forbes, Steffi Duna, Ernest Cos- sart, George Zucco, Robert Warwick, Frank Reicher. A French actor (Tamiroff), captured in a little tropical coun- try by a detective who has pursued him for seven years, is “ar- “Come and Get It” Has a Special Mecming Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere truly home-like sound the old call,of “Come and Get It . ,‘“PERCY’S rested” by the local gendarmes and presented with his greatest “role”: that of impersonating the country’s president (Tamiroff) who was bombed on the eve of an important American loan. Instigator of the fraud is a Chicago adventurer, aide of the deceased president (Nolan). The Chicago kid and the fiancee (Morison) of the American loan-maker (Forbes) fall for each other to give the picture a “romantic interest.” But that is beside the point, and the same may be said of the whole production. Compounded of elements ‘calculated to make for some inter- est and excitement, “The Magnificent ¥Fraud” seldom achieves either. Tamiroff, for one thing, seems to enjoy himself too thoroughly in his role. For another, the action is often slow and heavy, making for stretches of almost intolerable tedium. Miss Boland's double-meaning dialogue, incidentally, is as unnecessary as the character she plays,—apparently for comedy relief. On the brighter side, there’s Steffi Duna, exotically alive in and the superb Ernest Cossart as the detective. her few scenes, n fact the entire cast, have their moments. Nolan, Miss Morison, i “UNEXPECTED FATHER.” Screenplay by Leonard Spigel- gass and Charles Grayson. Directed by Charles Lamont. ‘Oast: Sandy Lee, Shirley Ross, Dennis 'O’Keefe, Mistha' Auer, Joy Hodges, Dorothy Arnold, Anne Gwynne, Anne Nagel, Donald Briggs, Ricard Lane, Paul Guilfoyle, Mayo Methot, Jane Darwell, Spencer Charters. This is a quickly continued follow-up on the pleasant recep- tion accorded Baby Sandy in-“East Side of Heaven.” When Sandy ' is on the screen, it is delightful. When she isn', it's just another § of those backstage yarns, with O'Keefe and Ross loving nnd squabbling over who shall keep the orphaned child, and Mischa | Auer trying, not too successfully with the material he Has, to be funny. Sandy, however, is compensation. ’ » -AIA"F - e L ot
