Will Rogers g The Whole Show at the Fox. N _the final fade-out of “So This Is London,” now visible at the I Fox Theater, Will Rogers is singing “My Country 'Tis of Thee,” and that is the climax of a picture made continually funny by Mr. Rogers. Without him this film version of famous as a “star maker” ter of ceremontes. The tiny star, leading lady in “General Crack” and one of the major characters in “Under a Texas Moon,” delighted her audience with singing bits from the latter vehicle and with an original Spanish dance and mas- song cartoon, and the Earle news events round out the enugaljxmént. Jack Oakie Makes Fine Movie Star. JACK OAKIE'S place smong the immortals of the screen is now assured. His first fling as a star, entitled “The Social Lion.” currently on view at Warner's Metropolitan, is an Okian opus of the first rank. Based on a story by Octavus Roy Cohen, “Marco Himself,” the pic- ture may be described briefly as a “Shoe-lace Romance — or Marco Polo!" Amidst the first flickers of this ilm Oakie is discovered in a ring giving D. T, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1930. Oakie’s feet in the “fighting” scene. The last “short” is worth the whole film. E. de S. M.

His smile, his vkward manner, the crumpling ofs his hat and the geniality of his ex- pression, are visible constantly. One might easily say—and the movies haven't been always kind to Mr. Rogers—that this 15 his best The story concerns itself with a rich American family which. much against its will betakes itself to Eng- land. On the way over, while the family is busy being ill—and this part Rogers plays to a crisp—the son busies himself with falling in love with an English girl, and by the time he has reached England he announces that he is going to marry the girl—to the horror cf both fami- lies. From then on there is strife between all parties concerned. An amusing week end house gathering, however, leads to a happy ending, maneuvered by Mr. Roger: ‘The highspots of this picture are when Will Rogers is talking more or less to himself—soliloquizing, philoso- phying and adding much that was never written in the story. He has, however, excellent support. Maureen O’Sullivan, a fresh and invigorating personality from Ireland, is recom- mended as A-1 heroine material; Irene Rich is a mother most any one would like to have; Frank Al- bertson looks as though he might be real Yankee, and Lumsden Hare is good in a “silly aws” Englishman role. The stage show, “Hot Dominoe: is very tepid. One of Franchon and Marco's longest and dryest concoc- tions, it has only a very few reasons for being at all. Jess Libonati squeezes all he out of a xylo- phone; there is a Marionette show, good for the first half hour or so, and Whitestone & Polly do amusing things suspended from wires. But even with maestro Sam Jack Kauf- man presiding 1t cannot be especially recommended. It needs a large pair of shears and much weeding. ‘Will Rogers, though, is at the Fox this week—and how! E.DE S. M. Armida and Denny Pleases Patrons at the Earle. ARMTDA, the diminutive beauty from Old Mexico, won _her way again into the heart of Washing- tonians last night in her premier way and Charles Sabin, a protege of the late Maurice, join in the enjoy- able production. ~ Northway and Sabin's graceful dancing was re- warded heartily by the audienc They are billed as an added attrac- tion. Reginald Denny's picture, also on the bill, should remind Capital fans of the latest National ball player, Art Shires, since it's entitled “What a Man." It scores a great hit, al- though an old and overdone .play. There are many laughs, Denny and an excellent supporting cast pro- viding the reasons. The acting of all is above criticism. Denny, cast as the tramp who had seen better days, etc, having been an English officer and reared to be a gentleman, but hard times having fallen upon the family, comes through neatly in the dual role of comedian and lover. Forced into the beginning of a life of crime by the desire to help the proverbial aged mother who was & lady, Denny proves the hero's met- tle by quitting the liquor gang and getting a job as a chauffeur, The butler, an old first sergeant when Denny was a captain, enlivens the picture by good comedy work in his hatred of Denny, whom he doesn't recognize at first. You've guessed the ending—the hero falls in love with the boss’ daughter and there’s a fadeout in which the happy couple are about to be married. Only the acting saves the play, but there are many clever and origi- nal situations. The age of the main theme, however, is against the play. “Looney Tunes,” the animated in him all the time All this is admirable material for Oakie. His personality, effervescent- ly boyish, has never been more com- pletely corralled. He seems to fill a 8ap long vacant in filmdom. He is the personification of a typical Ameri- can brand of animal, native only to these shores. And he is helped along no end by “Skeets” Gallagher, who used to be half of the vaudeville team of Oakie and Gallagher, and was then as good a foil as he is now. Mary Brian 15 adequate in a small and sterotyped role and Olive Borden is more effective at the vampire “job” than she was in the old days as an orchidaceous heroine. Ann Seymour, in a Vitaphone va- riety, Graham McNamee doing well by The E\'vn!nn Star-Universal Newsreel, and “Evolution of Dance,” complete’ the program.
