Where ' dark: the lively borders of the French Riviera. Miss Swanson, like so many first ladies of the screen, had, however, her own ideas. She decided that she must herd her own production company—ar | that she would do something quite different—namely, gather a nice little crew of actors about her, set her tent up on the Riviera and in London, and show the lads back home that nature in the raw is better than the false scenic nature = which Hollywood provides. She was wrong. Strange as it seems it is a fact that Hollywood can construct more effective outdoor scenery indoors than it can by track- ing down the original. More impor- tant than that, it doesn’t let nature run away with it—or rather, unlike the current Swanson opus, it gives you a slice of a mountain, or & river, or an ocean, and then devotes it- self to the story. Miss Swanson, however, becomes 80 excited at getting authentic snap- shots of the Riviera, that she says a temporary farewell to the story, and lets Mother Nature run away with her. You will see in her film some very handsome pictures of Cannes and its offspring. You get a glimpse of Juan Les Pins. You see clouds and the Mediterranean, bathing suit. And what else have you? A singularly ineffective prod- uct by some one who used to be one of Hollywood’s most effective heroines. ‘This should be a lesson to wan- dering stars.

If, however, Miss Swanson decides to do another film, it is to be hoped that she will steer away from the Riviera and recline comfortably instead in Hollywood’s regions where a camera knows what to do with a camera and where a story sometimes is a story and not Just an idea. “Virtue,” with Carole Lombard, Opens at the Rialto.

Just as they are about to “live happily ever after” and the honeymoon at Coney Island is contemplated, fate, unfortunately, steps in (in the person of a “cop”) and Miss Lombard’s breezy little past 1s brought to light. ‘Thereupon, Mr. O'Brien hits off & STAR, WASHINGTON, about to think that he is through ‘with his bride, he comes back to the nest and says that he will fight the good fight with her. ‘This noble deed, however, causes him mcre pain than pleasure, since, in his effort to buy a gasoline station, his wife lends out the money, he begins to suspect her of the worst again, & murder is committed, and, all in all, there are more troubies than any man would suspect might occur in the current of ordinary married life.

A TWO-FOR-ONE show is pre- sented at the Gayety this week with the showing of the annual “Black and White Revue.” ‘The first half is devoted entirely to the “white” or regular burlesque show. The comedy is carried by Clyde Bates, with Jack Rosen lnd '-"chk lli’unt as ‘:lldes Rosen is pa ‘ cularly good in the latter p.rt of the show, but is given keen competi- tion from his partner, Bates. They are helped by Frank Hopkins and Bob Capron as the straight men. Stan Montfort does some singing that is worthy of applause. ‘The lady artists are, however, not MONPAY, APRIL 10, 1933. up. to the standard set heretofore. With the possiblé exception of Tan- gara and Jean Bodine, they are sadly lacking in theatric virtues. Those in the cast include Ruby Lang, Sally Van and Virginia Jones. After a short intermission, Drake and Walker trot out their revue, which consists of tap dancers, come- dians, singers and a very good or- chestra under the personal direction of Henry Drake. The Drake brothers offer several tap dance numbers that are well re- ceived and are followed by Edward Schmault and Phil Gomez as come- dian and straight man, respectively. They go into their work with a great deal of zest and present a clean-cut type of comedy. Next in order is Alberta Williams, 4 singer, and Tina Stewart who dances and sings to renders several * e tunes, with Henry Drake doing the vocalizing and baton wielding. It is a toss-up as to which part of the show you will enjoy most, but the odds favor the second, or black half, of the performance. R. B. H. P.-T. A.
