The picture, which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, presents Phil Regan as the engaging tenor who thought he was singing for the “moom pichers” only to learn that his voice was issuing ignomini- ously from the stout throat of one Paddy. the Pig, animated animal de luxe! The gal who lured him into the film deception has also lured him into matrimony, which makes things doubly difficult. But she is a pretty girl, and sweet, and she succeeds in taming her headstrong spouse and bringing him to her point of view. Jean Parker is charming in the leading feminine role (her popu- larity remains unchanged from year to year) for she consistently turns in a high grade performance.

Horace MacMahon again proves his A Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWOOD, June 28.—There’s been a lot of kidding be- cause Fritz Lang, the ex-continental movie director, is shooting such a typically American subject as “The Return of Frank James.” . . . The kidders forget that Lang, fresh from Europe, made a movie of American life for his first Hollywood _picture— and “Fury’ was one of the best vehicles Spencer Tracy ever had. . Lang rehearsed for his present effort by mnlunx an “Am- on his reading of Western history. . . . Since he came to Holly- erican wild western” in Germany years ngo—pretty sad, but based wood and became a citizen he has concentrated on the American West as a hobby—so the kidders may eat their words when ‘they see the film. ... There is a concentration at present, almost to the extént of a cycle, on the West'’s bad men as movie heroes: “The Dark Com- mand,” featuring Quantrell, the Kansas desperado; the Jamese (Jesse and Frank); and now the Dalton boys—mnot even mention- ing that “Destry” and “Buck Benny” have ridden again, and that the Cisco Kid rides on. . . . There’s no fun in eating broken movie glass any more. . . . It used to be made of candy—now they're usln‘ resin. . . .

Grimwood says thére Has been ‘a lot of argument over “jur- |;diction" in blood matters, but since early movie days the ward- robers, who used to apply the make-up also, have held on to the task, justified by the argument that blood covers the player's clothes as well as his skin. . . . Louise Beavers, the screen’s foremost “mammy” until Hattie McDaniel came along, is losing no time getting back into the fray. . She’s the smart maid in “No Time for Comedy,” and when William Keighley feels playful all he has to say is, “Come on, Louise, give me that Hattie McDaniel look!” . . . Just as one example of what movie producers are up against on “timely” subjects, there’s the re-issue of “Confeisions of a Nazi Spy.” ... Deemed daring at its original release in April, 1939, the picture is more timely now than any on the screen, especially in view of the “fifth column” scare, and yet it, too, seems rather tame and dated by contrast witth actual revela- tions of ‘Nazi infiltration in Norway, Ho!hnd and Beigium.
