Principals: Brian Angelus, Akim Tamiroff, Allyn Joslyn, William Demarest, Louis Jean Heydt, Steffi Duna. HOLLYWOOD, Written and dii Donlevy, Muri Fresh treatment and timely in theme, “The Great Mc- Ginty” tells the story of a city bum who got in with a crooked by if unconventional in machine and to be governor of a state Dan McGinty (Donlevy) came from a breadline to earn a few bucks voting, at $2 per vote. He voted so industriously that the Boss (Tamiroff) saw a future for him. He was as tough as the Boss, and took no back talk. Pretty soon Dan was a city slicker, and ripe for the mayor- on the reform ticket, To win women'’s votes, they figured, had to have a wife, and there was a nice girl (Angelus) who didn’t mind marrying him on a platonic basis. That was Dan’s first mistake. He fell for the dame and vice versa, and then when he won the governorship she talked him into trying to be honest. It was fatal. ‘That’s how you get the story as Big Dan, now a barkeep in tropic joint, tells it to a torrid rhumba cutie (Duna) and a suicide-bent youngster (Heydt) who had been dishonest for “one crazy minute” just as Dan for one crazy minute had been honest. There are no big names in the cast,-but there’s, more good acling than in a raft of epi The Angelus girl is strikingly good, Donlevy is a riot, Tamiroff and Demarest as the politicos are perfect. But the real star is Sturges, who wrote the story and PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT , s politica cesses rose, logical pro- alty he a sTOoP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! directed ¢he picture (his first) to brihg out every laugh, every satirical jibe, and every story value. “QUEEN OF DESTINY.” Anna Neagle, Anton Wal- breok, C. Aubrey Smith. Directed by Herbert Wilcox. As in “Victoria the Great,” Miss Neagle again triumphs in a charterization of the queen who gave her name to a golden era of British Empire progress. Not a “plotted” movie, but rather an episodic and authentie account of outstanding events in Victoria's reign, the film is im- pressive for its pageantry and performances, The young queen’s romance with Albert (Walbrook), his wise counsel through their married life until his death, make the more interesting portions. Done in color, in England, with the royal castles at the film’s disposal, it is an interesting contribution to move biography. “THE VILLAIN STILL PURSUED HER.” Hugh Herbert, Alan Mcwbray, Anita Louise, Buster Keaton, Joyce Compton, Richard Cromwell, Margaret Hamilton, Diane Fisher. sed on a century-old play, “The Fallen Saved,” and fflayed straizht, this is a novelty which doesn’t quite come off. The audience is invited to hiss the villain and cheer the virtuous, just .as in. various stage presentations reviving the lush over- acting and scenery-chewing of that period. What the screen lacks, and the theatre provides, is intimacy —and beer and pretzels during the show. It's pretty fuuny at times, but misses badly at others.
