HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 13. — “EDISON, THE MAN.” Secreenplay by Talbot Jennings and Bradbury Foote from story by Dore Scharv and Hugo Butler. Directéd bv Clarerice Brown. Principals: Spencer Tracy, Rita Johnson, Lynne Overman, Charles Coburn, Gene Lockhart, Henry Travers, Felix Bressart, Peter Godfrey, Gene Reynolds. A startlingly familiar old man is honor guest at a banquet celelyating his congquest of darkness; he is Thomas Alva Edison, played by Spencer Tracy. So vivid is the recreation that those who knew Edison in life will be astounded. From this beginning the film cuts back to a review of the in- ventive genius's early struggles and achievements, culminating In hsi triumph with Mght. “Edison, the Man” is a final answer to any who still insist a biographical film, with a hgh educational content, cannot be loaded with entertainment. Fans who demand romance will find it here, for Edison’s meeting, wooing and marriage with Mary Stilwell (Johnson) is an integral part of the narrative. Miss Johnson brings to this role such sincerity as to explain why suddenly she has a waiting-list for her services Fans who demand suspense will find more than enough, for Edison has an uphill fight against tough obstacles; to win he works tirelessly. There is suspense in his search for the one element that will serve as filament for his lamp; there is terrific sus- pense in his final challenge—a fight against time for the successful lighting of a section of New York. Scripters and director (Clarence Brown's work is exception- ally imaginative) have collaborated to inject humor, human inci- PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT ® h s 8 sTopP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about.

Screenplay by William Anthony McGuire. Directed by Irving Cummings. Principals: Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Henry Fonda, Warren Willlam, Edward Arnold, Leo Carrillo, Helen Westley, Dorothy Peterson, Ernest Truex, Weber and Fields, Eddie Foy, Jr., Una O’Connor. The week uther excursion into biogiiphy, toasting the wasp- waisted actress beauty of the 90's, is less successful as a glorfica- tion of Lillian Russell than a spotlighting of Alice Faye and a recreation of the Russell period in New York. ‘This period, with its Champagne Charleys, horsecars, fabu- lous jewels and frills and feathers is one of American old-timers’ favorites. It is what present dowagers of the theatre mean when they say “the good old days.” These days are intriguingly pre- sented, complete with all details including Diamond Jim Brady, Weber and Fields, et al. Lillian, in the film, sings and acts surprisingly like Alice Faye and is vocally several bumps and swings ahead of her time. But Faye fans shouldn’t mind that; they probably would prefer Alice to yesterday's Lillian (if the latter could return in the flesh) and wonder what Gran'pa meant when he raved about the Russell oomph. Alice, aidéed by some authentic Russell gowns and trap- pings, including a jeweled corset, demonstrates plenty of that quality. ‘The screenplay simplies the Russell romances, eliminates the divorces, shows Lillian marrying Edward Solomon (Ameche, tooth- ily bad in a vague role), losing him to sudden death, later find- ing romance with Alexander Moore (Fonda, best performance in film), who has waited faithfully through the years. “Eiliin Ri a very glittery musical.
