HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 27.— THE Screenplay by Grover Jones, Lionel Houser, F. Hugh Herbert from novel by W. R. Burnett. Directed by Raoul Walsh. Prin- cip: Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George Hayes, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, Raymond Walburn. DARK COMMAND.” There were wild and bloody doings in the Kar Territory just before and during the War Between the States. This film record, part fiction and part fact, utilizes those doings as a back- ground for an exciting large-scale “western.” After young Bob Seton from the Texas plains (Wayne) and darkly-handsome Will Cantrell, the Lawrence schoolmaster (Pid- geon), start their rivalry for Mary McCloud (Trevor), there's scarcely a foot of film in which action, action and more action is not the order. Even before that, the action is on—verbal and fistic and gun battles between settlers from North and South, for the Territory is a rehearsal ground for the national blood-letting that is to come, When Seton wins over Cantrell as town marshal, the school teacher turns to outlawry. Gun-runner, slave-smuggler, guer- rilla chieftain, Cantrell spreads terror over Kansas, marries the girl under false pretenses, is tracked down finally by stalwart Seton—but, not before his innocent wife has learned the truth, and not before his “dark command” has attacked and ravaged and burned the town of Lawrence for a spectacular climax A large canvas is painted here, filled with a grand sweep and flow of action which keeps dust flying and suspense high. There is comedy (mainly from Hayes as a frontier den doctor-barber and Walburn as a pompous judge), and there is plenty of ro- mance,: but action is dominant. If only skimpy motivation is NOW ¢ AT ing hostessess give thou, wl guests who bring, gifts of delicious van Duyn Candies. .Little sttentions make yow & *sust come” guest. Try It) Percy’s exclusively - CHOQCOLATES VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS provided for the villainies of Cantrell, the lack may be excused. With so much action, there wasn’t time for psychological probings. Ly MIT ALL CAME TRUE.” Screenplay by Michael Fessier, Lawrence Kimble, from novel by Loyis, Bromfield. Directed by Lewis Seiler. Principalss Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, Jeffrey Lynn, ZaSu Pitts, Una O'Connor, Jessie Busley, John Litel, Grant Mitchell, Feiiz Bressart. And it practically has come true, all the’ 've been saying about the O - - - - Girl. With a good yarn, about a gangster hiding out in a hoarding house peopled by quaint characters . Ann shows plenty of talent, plenty of oomph, and a new sincerity. For all that, it’s Humphrey Bogart (as the mugg) who takes the richest helping from the honors dish, playing a tough guy for comedy as effectively as. he ever did for menace. There are other delightful characters: Busley, as the boarding-house keeper who “creates” happy endings for her dreamed-up stories; Pitts, as the spinster who imagines herself followed by young men; Mitchell, as a corny poet; Bressart, as a seedy ham-magician; O'Connor, as Busley’s partner Upshot of the mugg's sojourn at the fading mansion: he turns it into a ght club, with some first-rate acts, and then takes the rap he fully had intended to throw off on Lynn, which leaves the hero and heroine free for romance. “SON OF THE NAVY.” Spellman. Nice sentimental cowedy about a stray (Spellman) who “adopts” a navy man as his father, embarrassing him no end but leading him inevitably into romance with the girl he “eathes” as a meddler. The tears are dipped up by the bucketful, but the laughs predominate, the youngster is good, and Parker and Dunn—although the sweethearts could have shouhd less for these tired ears.
