Year in and year out, these sleuthing gentry flourish on the screen, some of them surviving vehicles indifferent at best, and often a little less than mediocre. The reason? It's in any leading library, where sure mon makers are the mystery and detective tales. It's in the earlie: lure, and still the greatest, that modern pictures had to offer—the thrill of the chase. It's the same fatal fascination exercised by cowboy heroes larruping over the plains after the dirty foreman who copped the pap-uhs and the girl. The detective fellows do it in the drawing room, minus the horse, and generally they use their heads instead of a six-gun, but i'’s the same old chase. Philo Vance, the hardy fellow has jus. come back in the person of James Stephenson, this English actor’s first starring’ role in Hollywood. Philo started on the screen looking like William Powell, later changed his disguise to resemble Warren William, Basil Rathbone or Edmund Lowe. Stephenson is being “different” in “Philo Vance Comes Back.” Philo hitherto has been casual in his meanderings after crime; Stephenson’s Philo, as a member of the U. S. Secret Service, is much more active. Powell and Myrna Loy are in the midst of “Another Thin Man,” as Nick Charles and wife. There has been no change to date in this “Thin Man” teaming, probably could be none without THat's the reception charming hostessess give thoughtful guests who bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn Candfes. Little o g attentions make you & i o "mist come" guests Try itl ercy s VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS exclusively offending a large following. (Incidentally, Edward Ellis could have a chuckle about this “Thin Man” business. Ellis was the origical “Thin Man,” disposed of in the first picture of the series. , The tag has stuck, however, to Powell who is as puzzled about it as anybody.) sSherlgck Holmes, perennial off-and-on screen hero, is back and seemingly set for a series. (Rathbone and Nigel Bruce team- ed in “The Hound of the Baskervilles” and now in “The Adven- tures of Sherlock Holmes.”) Charlie Chan’s existence looked uncertain for a while when Warner Oland died, but Sidney Toler stepped successfully into the spot. Mr. Moto, poor fellow, ran smack into international politics and has been dropped—not, however, because he was a failure as a detective. Temporarily abandoned because in “Bulldog Drummond’s Bride” he won the girl—a procedure fatal to most detectives bar- ring Nick Charles—young Drummond (through nine films played by John Howard) is always subject to revival on the screen. Naney Drew, Detective (Bonita Granville), has had her ac- tivities curtailed somewhat but is by no means gone. Because the Warners are apparently serious about fighting double-bills, Nancy has been cropped to fou reel, supporting featurette length. Torchy Blane (once Glenda Farrell but now Jane Wyman) is no longer Torchy, but Torchy’s spirit lives on in “Lady Detective.” Melvyn Douglas last year popped up as a contender in movie . sleuthing circles when he made, with Joan Blondell, “There’s Always a Woman,” His serio-comic Sleuth Reardon followed that with “There’s That Woman Again” and tem- porarily went into eclipse. Douglas is a detective again, how- ever, in “The Incredible Mr. Williams"—again with Blondell. That’s the nice thing about movie crime-trailing. The detec- tive, just as in the raw-meat thrillers on the news-stands can be conked on the head but he can’t be killed. Not permanently. » | | - Sphg e Jwel Time parometer Temo Humidity wina Velocity = Weather ’ o et e dfmator | 8:30 pum. vesty .. 800 %~ % Omm Srercast 1 who has visited the Polish capital| 3:30 am. today ... 30.05 19 95 S 4 Lt.
