Screenplay by Norman Reilly Raine and Warren Duff, from novel by Jerome Odlum. Directed by William Keighley. Cast: James Cagney, George Raft, Jane Bryan, George Bancroft, Maxie Rosenbloom, Stanley Ridges, Alan Baxter, Victor Jory, John Wray, Edward Pawley, Willard Robertson, Emma Dunn, Paul Hurst, Louis Jean Heydt, Joe Downing. HOLLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 9.—It's like old times. Jail stuff, stern and grim. The jailers aren’t those benign symbols of law and order that movies are supposed to show. Theyre brutal mar- tinets, and their prisoners nearly go nuts. Strong stuff. Cagney plays the crusading reporter framed by crooked politi- cians. He goes to the big house along with Raft, a three-time loser doing 199 years. In prison, where twine-making is the specialty and affords interesting background, Cagney sees tough mugs and some not- so-tough broken in mind, primed to desperation. He assists Raft's spectacular escape from a courtroom where he is on trial for ‘murder of the prison stool-pigeon. The warden (Bancroft), less inhuman than his underlings, sends Cagney to the “hole” for months. Raft, at large, forgets his promise to find the crook who framed Cagney, but the reporter’s sweetheart (Bryan) shames him into action. Raft pursues a foolhardy scheme to get the framer—in the same prison where Cagney is going loco from “solitary.” Big jailbreak, action, excitement, guns, triumph of innocence. Cagney is tops as the victim, especially in some heavily dram- atic emotional stuff; Raft is good; Miss Bryan, an appealing actress, clicks in her best role. Question: Cagney is framed by being made to appear a drunk--driving killer. Innocent;*he “Come and Get It Has a Special Meaning . . Tasty food, efficient service and an. atmosphere truly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get It” . .. «“PERCY’S B e S e e i i B never asl 1o, d sobriety test. Why? Maybe because there wouldn’t have been any story if he'd thought of it. “BEAU GESTE.” Screenplay by Robert Cafson from novel by Percival Christopher Wren. Directed by William Wellman, Cast: Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, John Preston, Brian Donlevy, Susan Heyward, J. Carrol Naish, Albert Dekker, Broderick Crawford, Charles Barton, James Stephenson, Heather Thatcher, G. P. Hunt- ley, Jr., James Burke, Harold Huber, Donald 0’Connor, Billy Cook, Martin Spellman, David Holt, Ann Gillis. “Beau Geste” was a humdinger of the closing years of silence. The new talkie only reminds more strongly that silence, if not always golden, had plenty of points. The tale of three loving brothers—Beau, John and Digby Geste—who ran away to the Foreign Legion so that all would share blame for disappearance of Awnt Patricia’s jewel is still‘ an adventurous, exciting piece. But “Beau Geste” with dialogue sounds rather preposterous and much too theatrical, and the boys seem just a bit silly playing games about Vikings in the death- ridden Fort Zinderneuf. Brian Donlevy is a heavy to end the breed, and in at least one scene looks like Disney's wolf ravening for a pig feast, teeth and all. He is good at incredible badness. Also on the credit side: Spectacular desert fighting, peautiful scenery. Also Dekker, Naish, and the new Miss Heyward, who is attractive. “FRONTIER MARSHAL.” Screenplay by Sam Hellman from book by Stuart N. Lake. Directed by Allan Dawn. Cast: Ran- dolph Scott, Nancy Kelly, Cesar Romero, Binnie Barnes, John Carradine, Edward Norris, Eddie Foy, Jr., Ward Bond, Lon Chaney, Ar., Chris-Pin Martin, Joe Sawyer. This is a minor consideration of the epic story of Wyatt Earp, frontiersman of valor, and his life in Tombstone, Ariz, in the lawless days. It is a story deserving the treatment given «Jesse James,” but here it serves as the basis of just another west- ern. The picture, however, for its class has much to commend it. Picturesque background, abundant action, some comedy which tends to unbalance the pattern. i 5 i -
