By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal., March 5—Wonder if anybody else is get- biiter about that oft-heard comment on c ain movies? can the one that goes “It’s a great picture—but it's not ainment.” me that’s like saying, “Oh fine spinach—TI'll take Or the gals might put it, “What a smart, adorable hat, Of course I wouldn'’t be buried in it, but then—!" What T want to know is how a picture can be “great” and not be “entertainment.” If it isn't entertainment of one kind or an- other, then it isn't great, hear that remark about “The Grapes of Wrath.” r it about the new and splendid film' called “Dr. Magic Bullet.” And that brings us to the question, is this entertainment anyway?"” answer, ves, You may for each of us, must be personal. I know that I've sat and looked at some movies mnated as “good entertainment” and I've found plenty of time thout missing any of the film story of any intended sub- tleties cf the proceedings—to think about extraneous things. All I know is that a picture that doesn’'t hold my interest if not “entertainment” for me. When T see a “Grapes of Wrath” and for two hours I am ht in a celluloid spell that won't let me go, that keeps me there living a mere screen story and feeling it deeply, then that is “entertainment”—for me. As much “entertainment,” in a ense, as the delightful “Pinocchio” of Disney, or the frothiest of polite comedies. I feel the same way today about “Ehrlich,” For me, which is also a Qe NOwW AT That's thz reception charming hostessess glive thoughtful guests who bring gifts of deliclous Van Duyn Zandfes. Little lttentlons make you & "must come" yuest.. Try lu VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS Perey’s exclusively great picture, although in no sense comparable, either in theme or emotional forck, to “The Grapes of Wrath.” The Warner picture is a straightforward, completely honest biography of the German scientist whose work azainst diphtheria and syphilis has prevented untold human tragedy. Edward G. Robinson plays the character with such .deep understanding and skill that not once, viewing his performance, was I reminded of Robinson, the actor. The screenplay—by John Huston, Heinz Herald and Norman Burnside—is a masterpiece of compact dramatic narration. William Dieterle has directed it when an even surer hand than he displayed in “Pasteur” and “Zola,” memorable films which this one, in my estimation, sur- passes. It must be true that actors surpass themselves when given fine material, for here are perofrmances which Robinson, Otto Kruge and Montague Love—to name only a few—have never equaled. Ruth Gordon, in her second film, seems better in a less vital role than was hers in “Abe Lincoln in Illineis.” There is a new actor. Albert Basserman, who can give the establshed local picture-stealers a few lessons. His larceny here was sanc- tioned and applauded by the star himself. The story is simply that of a scientist’s quest for knowledge and medical cures, a quest hampered by misunderstandings, lack of sufficient funds, and organized skepticism and interference. Without obviously striking in the least, the picture works up tremendous drama, termenodus “heart,” and it commands un- flaggng attention. Sensation-seekers may think of it only as “that movie about syphilis.” Even thase, atfer seeing it, will take the emphasis off that item, so tastefully handled is the subject. - . - « Entertainment?

KILDARE” | " INFINAL SHOW | THIS EVENING Dramatic Picture atCapitol Theatre Is Starring Lew Ayres | Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore return as young Dr. Kildare and his mentor, the irascible old Dr, | Gillespie, in “Calling Dr. Kildare second of the medical-detecti | series, which ends tonight at the | Capitol Theater. 1 As in the first picture, Ayres turns detective and solves a mys- | tery, this time a murder case which !lands him in trouble with the po- lice when he conceals a wounded fugitive whom he believes inno- cent and eventually clears. But he lands in love with pretty Lana | Turner, to his disillusionment, and Barrymore solves his problems in a deft dramatic trick. A dramatic transfusion in a dark cellar hideout, the gripping scene where Barrymore heals a little lame boy, the disillusionment of the young doctor, and other roman- | tic scenes, comedy and thrill se- | quences are played against a back- ground of hospital life and its laboratories, penthouses, night clubs and hideouts of the underworld. | Harold S.
