HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, July 3 (N.AN.A) —Cyril Maude'’s first talking picture, “Grumpy,” which was a studio triumph when officials first glimpsed it, went over big with a group of local critics who privately viewed it last night. It convinces us that subtle comedy characterization minus the frankly vulgar lines, which have come to be an | inseparable part of most of our modern comedy, can keep an audience chuckling over the allotted time of a feature- length picture and leave it with a sense of refreshment and charm and !\!.;ur! of a magnificent exposition of ar The lovable old tartar, has been done in Theodore Roberts made it, but Cyril Maude was the original creator of the stage role. A delightful cast, which in- cludes Philips Holmes as the boy. Frances Dade as the girl and Halliwell Hobbes as Grumpy’s “gentleman’s gen- tleman,” are a nice balance to the excellent artistry of Maude. “Grumpy,” Musicals continue to hold disfavor among talkie magnates. The theme song has either been joked out or played out long ago. But even when producers came to this conclusion, they had not finished with music in talking pictures. Some of the most pretentious musical efforts contemplated for this year have been held up or are being delayed on one pretext or another. Thousands of new songs have come out of the Holly- wood factories since music invaded the | screen. They have been good songs, too, | a lot of them. The rest have not dif- fered from the routine stuff which we have fallen heir to in other years when songs were made in New York City. But the public wants to hear some comedy, some serious drama and some ladies and gentlemen intended for speaking purposes only, doing what fate intended them for instead of walking to the front of the camera and painfully revealing their musical lacks and their throat furnishings.

There are better Summer resorts near to hand. One of the best gags in & comedy being made in the village is the one about the lad who had two dates with a girl in one night. “Whaddja mean, two dates?” “Took her out for the first and the last time.” Eddie Horton has been looking for a play. 8o the big shots of the studio writing staffs have burned the midnight ofl getting one ready for him. These lads draw salaries which would make the average author turn pale with envy. But their plays, it seems, are awful. Over 150 of these rare manuscripts have been read and returned with some- what embarassed thanks by the come- dian. Perhaps to save his face he'll look farther afield for his next comedy venture before the footlights, Horton is beginning to beileve that legend about plays being pretty bad in the aggregate. Hollywood dramatists turned scenarists are proving it to him. (Copyright, 1930.) Regains @irl Lost Through Ad.
