HOLLYWOOD, ¢al., April 9.—I'm afraid the gbservation isn't exactly original, but when two pictures in one week re-demon- strate its truth 4he proposition will bear repeating: the play’s the thing After viewing Wesley Ruggles' new production, “Too Many It is learned that radio commun-| ager Al Amnndson announc- ications at Oslo was interrupted by now in the but the Oslo radio station is all during Troops landed from German ships | achine guns are mount- — | Sea expecting ta| Husbands,” and being fairly amused thereby, T came awry with the let-down feeling iritely but best summarized by so-what. Here is an interesting sjtuatio) lost her husband to adventure. n. An attractive young wife has His passion for sailing, causing him to neglect her, has led to his supposed death at sea. Shortly thereafter she find: consolation in marriage to her late spouse’s best friend, whose neglect of her is directed toward work rather than boats, but leaves her equally stranded in loneliness. Then Husband No. 1 returns, very much aive, and Wife has to decide between him and Husband No. 2. Most of the film is concerned with her subsequent indecision, based laregly on her vast enjoyment of the concentrated wooings of two handsome men (Fred MacMurry and Melvyn Douglas) where before she had the attention of neither. Now she chooses one, now the other, and each time reverses herself. When this has gone on for a while, the suspicion arises that the gentlemen behind the camera are in as mych a quandary as the heroine or the audience, and are wondering what to do next to keep the thing going. In this distressing predicament they simply play the record again. When the business is re- solved finally by the law's intervention and it ie made clear that AT reception charming hestessess give thoug™ful guests who bring gifts of deliclous Van Duyn Candi Little sattentions meke a Try 1o Duuyn Tan Dy VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS Percy’s exclusively st the decision wasn't up to the heroine in the first place, what have you left? Much ado about nothing? I think so. | This is not to say that “Too Many Huspgnds” is 8 loss as light entertainment goes, No pictue. in which the talented Jean Arthur is perplexed can be marked off as wastage, and the film manages frequently to make the “problem” seem real despite its obvious artificiality. Then there is “Dr. Cyclops.”” This is Ernest. Schoedsack's fantasy dedicated to the proposition that trick and process pho- tography, if successfully accomplished, are enough in themselyes to keep an audience entertained, Perhaps this is so.. The story is that of & mad scientist who has discovered how to reduce living beings in size without killing them off. When he is annoyed by the curiosity of helpful fellow- scientists, he shrinks 'em. so there. And the little critters run | around helpless, in terror, shinnying up chair legs, hiding from | house cats. arduously climbing a stack of books, and sp on, in their efforts to escape. This is interesting until the novelty wears off, after which Albert Dekker’s performance 8s the madman stands out more than it did at first, which was enough~-but not enough to save a picture whose “horror” misfires and whose “suspense” is forced. Lest these protests sound too much like the complaints of a Jjaded film appetite, T cite hastily the fact that I found saving firtues in mm.mmxumu “Thuechnn for the Irish." ; muunmmmnnflm|m||mmmuuuunnmmunmmmmm|u IMORGAN MAKING RUSH TRIP OUT 10 SITKA MILL Boards Plane Here for Historic City Thomas Morgan, Manager of the Columbia Lumber Company. @ar- rived 1in Juneau on the steamer Alaska this morning with his busi- adjustor | steamer | morn- over- nadian ar- to secure fire insurance Perry Huff until after the Alaska had sailed Saturday ing, but hiring an airplane, took the Alaska near the Ca line, boarded the ship, and {rived here this morning.
