HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 8.—It was something to see: Jack Crosby's streamlined, stalwart six-foot-two undulating and swing- ing in his own version of the hula. It came about this way. The girl from Hawaii, the Princess Luana (or “Miss Honolulu” when she first came from the islands), was leading 40 grass-skirted chorines in the dance. It was for a thing called “Hawaiian Nights” and I guess it was important. Jack Crosby, who is the dance director and no relation to Bing althought he worked on the step-stuff in Bings's “The Star- Maker,” thought it was important anyway. He kept calling, “Put some fire into it! be a regular hula! It's got to be modefn! That's it, SWING it!” Hula in swingtime, eh—and for the first time on any screen? Well, that's interesting. Luana and the gals semed to think so too. Luana halted, at last, to find out how. “You tell me—I do,” she told Crosby. “I can't tell you,” said Jack, “but I'll show you.” And he did, and it was (as above reported) something to see. He looked more like a graceful dinosaur than a dance director. The gals—and Luana—looked and then they had their turn to swing it, that's it, SWING it! No, no, no! It can't Swing it—with action! Dance directors seldom start out deliberately to be dance di- rectors, LeRoy Prinz, for instance, craved adventure, found it in the Foreign Legion, later in the air during the World War, before settling down to step-mastering. Busby Berkeley, who still can't dance, was an actor first. Jack Crosby was several other PO ygt N 54 “Cmne tmd Get lt” llas a Special Meaning Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere truly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get It” . . . | “«PERCY’S things—railroad fireman, miner and cowpuncher and boxer—before he began getting others to follow in his steps. He had a premonition of what was to come, however. He sensed rhythm, he says, in many things before he knew it would be his life work. Rhythm in the swing of the shovel and pick, rhythm in the choo-choo of the choo-choos, rhythm on the range where he rode herd. And when he took up boxing, where foot- work counted— A vaudeville agent saw him sparring, saw his footwork, saw him as a dancer, signed him up. For six years Crosby hoofed, and hoofed his way finally to Hollywood, where LeRoy Prinz found him and added him to his staff. Fairly recently he has branched out on his own. But he doesn’t dance weekends. Six years ago he married Irene Winder, who likes to hunt and fish and golf as much as he does. They live on a valley ranch—and when they can’t get away outdoors they follow the popular valley custom (inaugurated perhaps, by Edward Everett Horton) of adding more rooms to their house. About that “swingtime hula,” he says: “Hollywood won't stand for any rhythm done in the ‘formula of yesterday. It may be an old tune, but it has to be the dance of tomorrow—or no go.” CAPITOL COMEDY WILL END HERE THIS EVENING "Too Hot to Handle" Co- stars Myrna Loy and Clark Gable Five major thrills, reminiscent of five great news events, provide the background for the Clark Gable- Myrna Loy picturé, “Too Hot to | Handle,” ending tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre. They include the aerial bombing of Shanghai, the crash of a famed aviatrix's plane on a round-the- | world flight, the exposion of a my tery munitions ship, the disappear- ance and rescue of an American flier held as a white god by natives in the South American jungles, and a pitched battle between the New York police and a notorious two- |gun gangster barricaded in a tene- ment flat with a “tommy-gun.” A story of newsreelmen, Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon play rival newsreel cameramen and Myr- na Loy portrays the daring aviatrix. They are supported by Walter Con- nolly who plays Gable’s boss and Leo Carrillo as Gable’s sound man e 'Edythe Reilly Rowe Is Guest of Honor At TeLYesierday | A truly charming tea compliment- led a most gracious guest yesterday {afternoon when Mrs. Trevor Davis and Mrs. Waino Hendrickson en- ‘ tertained for Edythe-Reily Rowe, eminent cellist, who is visiting briefly in this city.
