Directed by Henry King. Principals: Walter Brennan, Fay Bainter, Brenda Joyce, John Payne, Charles Ruggles, Hattie McDaniel, Marjoric Weaver, Sidney Blackmere, Ben Carter. Two' years ago 20th Century-Fox threw a technicolor light on horse-racing in “Kentucky,” giving Walter role with which he copped an academy award. does the same for “Maryland,” Carter—or lets him take it. Aside from the technicolor beauties of wood, field ‘and stream, the excitement and color of fox hunts and the climactic race, “Maryland” travels well-worn paths, innoculously and pleasantly leading up to the Big Rac What lifts it above routine are the sequences assigned to Carter and his Negro fellow actors, who play a generous part in the plot and give it a needed shot in the arm Carter (previously effective in “Little Old New York”) plays Shadrach, the unregenerate, dice-weak spouse of Hattie (McDan- ieD), cook in the Maryland manor of Sharlotte Danfield (Bainter). Charlotte is a born horse-lover, turned against horses by the rid- ing accident which killed her husband. She clears out her stables and dismisses her trainer (Brennan) who sets up his own farm conyeniently nearby for Charlotte’s son (Payne) and the train- er’s daughter (Joyce) to provide the romantic interest. Mamma’s horse-fear and son’s horse-love precipitate conflict on the big question of son’s riding Uncle Bill's prize entry in the Maryland Hunt Cup race. This is all well enough but “Maryland” spot- Brennan“a The present essay but throws the plum to one Ben really comes to life PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT sToP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! lbslylg premium, and in desperation turns to The picture runs the risk of offending here, when Shadrach is seduced by Dogface's rattllhg dice, Hattie's burial society shouting religion, but the sequences of Shadrach’s salvation are nevertheless a riot of comedy — and the “salvation” provides a good plot twist. The cup race, filmed at its last running, is exciting and beau- tiful, but Carter and company are still the hits of the show. Carter, by the way, is an actor only by avocation. His real busi- ness is agentry, and he collected fees from most of the Negro players in the film, . “ANDY BARDY MEETS DEBUTANTE.” Mickey Rooney, Lewis Stone, Fay Holden, Cecilia Parker, Judy Garland, Ann Rutherford, Diana Lewis. Best of the recent Hardy Family films, this one has Andy in straits arising from his claim that he knows a city glamour girl (Lewis). Script and treatment emphasize comedy and slight the more serious elements of recent Hardys, which is to the good. Garland, with a couple of songs and a good role, adds consid- erably to the entertainment quota of a sprightly drap-your-worflés movie, “MY LOVE CAME BACK.” Olivia de Hsvilhnfl Jeffrey Lynn, Eddie Albrrt Jane Wyman, Charles Wmnlnler. Good-humored, if strained, comedy of errors about a music student, her boy friend, and the rich old geezer with not entirely philantropic ideas in her direction, Full of good music, played straight and also in ingratiating -swingtime. Enjoyable, even though you don’t believe a frame of it. -« 'lIl|lllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIII!IIIIlIIIIIIIIIIllflllfllllllmlHlllllllllllllllllllll' : ‘(‘uw.s to | Again,” ending tonight at the Capi- | tol heatre.
