AMUSEMENTS. Relying Upon Film Charms Of Stars to Make Success Jean Harlow's Blond Beauty and Clark Gable's *Off-Center Smile™ Carry *Hold Your Man.™ Earle Presents Stage Show, "July Frolic.” By E. de S. Melcher. ¢ N “Hold Your Man” now at the Palace, Jean Harlow has a wicked “left” and Clark Gable has a crooked smile.” Both stars start out as wily practitioners of doubtful businesses, and both of them, before the film is over, have more or less reformed end are heading straight for the pearly gates. The new Harlow-Gable film is, however, nothing to brag about. It is a hodge-podge sort of a melodrama treading one minute on Mae West's toes and the next on “Maedchen in Uniform.” Miss Harlow, blond, statuesque and occasionally attractive, with one hand on the left hip and the other holding together that inevitable :imono, does all the little tricks which Miss West does one better. th the result that you spend the first few minutes of the film wishing that La West would crash into view. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, The producers, as also Writer Anita | Loos, have, however, been wise in cap- i‘alizing on Mr. Gable’s off-center rmile. This is something he has been coing for long—evidently unbeknownst 15 his many directors. Heretofore that Tas been one of his “charms” (so a lady | t=lls me). From now on he will have | meant to) as the world plays Barthel- mess falser and falser. “Heroes for Sale” is no film for this time of year. It is heavy, overdramatic and not well enough done to drive its message home. Its theme concerns a war hero, who has his rewards torn from him, who becomes a drug addict, who loses his job after the war, who begins to climb to success when he 10 be cheerful in a normal way—and if | overcomes this habit, Wl i s smiles downhil he will have o PaY | account of the R or it.

Whether that was because they were sad at the time or with the film 15 a question. At any rate, the picture is a long, long cry from “Red Dust"— if that's what you're looking for. * % % ¥ ICHARD BARTHELMESS' film at the Earle, “Heroes for Sale,” is nothing to shout about either. A long tirade against the injustice of man, the woes of war, the miserableness of the depression and the menace of the ma- chine age, it combines just about every sorrow known to this age. Mr. Barthlemess' work is not out- standing in it either. And then, just about as you are preparing to enjoy Loretta Young's pleasant locks, along comes a mcb and crushes her to dust— and you are left with no heroine at all except Aline MacMahon, who stands around and looks very sad (as she i: WOMEN SEEKING stage moves along at an agreeable pace. | Although the 75-minute show will not knock your eye out, it has those excel- lent clowns, the Arnaut brothers. who are better than ever in their splendid “bird act”; Tom and Betty Wondas, who dance cleverly and particularly smoothly together; Ruth Petty, “Sylvia Sidney” of the stage, who puts over her songs (especially that “Stormy Weather” number) with a bang, and 18 of those agile Gertrude Hoffman girls, who swing from ropes, do & wave num- ber at the bottom of the sea and fence | | with each other in feminine “Three Musketeers” fashion. Although at the moment they are not quite sure of themselves and present a Fourth of July number at the beginning that probably should come last, they are unquestion- ably good locking and behave them- selves with an abandon that is pleas- antly refreshing. PLUMPNESS, LETTERS TO UNCLE SAM SHOW Turning From Reducing Fad and Ask Public Health | Service How to Put on Weight. A definite swing in feminine fashions from slimness to plumpness is being reflected in the correspondence of the Public Health Service. A vear ago scores of requests were received for information on safe ways to reduce the weight. A form letter was kept for reply. Now these have ceased almost altogether and women are writing for appropriate diets which will enzble them to put on weight. This is partly due, it is believed by Public Health Service officials, to a change which has been under way for some time in prevalent dress styles, the new dresses being adapted for the full figure rather than for the lithe, willowy | type. | B meet the new demand a weight- | increasing diet has been drawn up as follows: Breakfast—Sweet milk, boiled oat- Where and When meal with butter or milk, or biscuit with butter. Dinner—Beef stew, hash, pot roast, ham or shoulder of pork, broiled or roast fowl, boiled or fried fish, creamed salmon or codfish cakes. Macaroni with cheese should be included at least once a week and dried beans two or three times a week. There should be Irish or sweet potatoes four or five times a week, and rice two or three times. Green vegetables should be eaten three or four times a week and should include cabbage, collards, spin- ach, turnip greens, snap beans or okra. Corn bread and milk or buttermilk should be taken daily. Supper—Light bread or biscuit daily, butter and milk or buttermilk daily, peanut butter once or twice a week, sirup once or twice a week, stewed light bread | fruits three or four times a week on days when there are no green vege- tables for dinner But, the standard reply of the Public Health Scrvice sets forth, “there are other factors also of great importance, | Outdoor exercise, living in well venti- |lated homes, the regulation of habits Current Theater Attractions | | and Time of Showing Palace—"Hold Your Man,” at 11:15 a.m., 1:20, 3:25, 5:30, 7:35 and 9:40 p.m. | Loew’s Fox—"Midnight Mary,” at 11 a.um.. 1:35, 4:30, 7:25 and 10 pm.

WHE‘N three hall-marked actors like | Loretta Young, Ricardo Cortez and Franchot Tone are brought into the same field with a play of direct action, there is a distinct pleasure in watching the Its. All the members of this trio have had their experiences with the hampering restraints of the general run of screen offerings. but in “Midnight Mary,” shown at the Fox Theater, there is an atmosphere of ad- | venture, a stimulating invitation to play the game, a carelessness of life itself, that imparts more or less enthu- siasm to an audience. Miss Young has not had in months an opportunity to create so vibrant a character as she has in this play, while the finesse of the old Ricardo gives way before an impulse to fight for the domination that is his ambi- tion with a spirit that gives him a new place in the public mind. Mr.| Tone continues to reveal the polish and | self-confidence that have brought him ‘ to the front in the cinema world, and in the plot he is assigned to the mov- ing place of the lover who gives up all for the vindication of the young Woman who has accepted the prospect of a penalty for crime in order to save his good name. | In the story of the characters rep- resented by Miss Young and Mr. Tone there is abundant dramatic material, while the development of the story in the midst of the night life of a city, | | with the final outcome which brings so- cial reward for the young woman who was steadfast in her devotion, creates strong interest. A new phase of the ‘court scene has been introduced, and its effect is marked. | There is a large cast of actors, chiel among whom, next to the featured members of the company, is Una Mer- kel, whose individuality always lends | magnetism to anything that she un- ‘d!nak!sv Others are Andy Devine, Frank Conroy.

At least that has been the experience of Dick Powell, who is coming to the front so rapidly on the screen, and whose fan mail is now one of the biggest in Hollywood. And it not only reaches him in Hollywood; it has been following him about the country during his recent personal ap- pearance tour, for Dick has one of those personalities that make friends of both sexes and all ages. But mainly, of course, his fan mall is feminine. Dick comes from Arkansas, having been born in Mount View on Novem- ber 14, 1904. His caeer as a singer began in Little Rock, at one of the leading churches of that thriving city. and from that commencement the trail has led Dick Powell on to “42nd Street” and “Gold Diggers of 1933." the new Warner Bros. musical film, in which he shares headline honors with Warren William, Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Ginger Rogers and lots of other well-known screen people. “You can laugh,” says Dick, “but I| wouldn't take anything for that choir experience of mine. For one thing. it helped me to overcome shyness. The first time I had to stand up before | all those people and sing, it was & really terrible ordeal. But. week after week, I got accustomed to it, and was able to bulid up a certain amount of self-confidence. There's another thing It gave me a kindly audience at the start.

DRIFTWOOD from the wreckage of several lives is cast up on the screen at R-K-O Keith's Theater in the showing of “What Price Inno- cence.” Several good actors tell the story of family pride which ignores danger signals because, in the opinion of the mother of the household, such warnings are needed only by those who | that the people out in front have paid to see him and hear him. and knows that it is actually a cold-blooded business proposition when you look at the thing | fairly, it is apt to send chills down his spine. You haven't any right to| ask cash customers to make allow- ances. But the church congregation was made up of my friends—even those few whom I didn't know per- sonally knew all about me and were on my side. So I got a good start in Little Rock that I'll never forget.” Now and then strangers from be- yond the borders of Arkansas dropped into the church where Dick sgng; and one of them happened to be connected with an orchestra in Louisville, Ky He was much impressed with the good- looking young tenor, and before long Dick received an offer to go to Louis- ville as a concert soloist. Thus it was that he passed from sacred to profane art. Soon he was singing over the radio and making his first phonograph rec- ords. Then a theater in Pittsburgh signed him up as master of ceremonies, with singing thrown in for good meas- ure. And it was there that a scout for Warner Bros. saw and heard him. At that time the studio was looking for somebody to play the crooner in the screen version of “Blessed Event.” . Dick admits that he was somewhat scared at the idea of becoming an actor. “They told me it was all right, | that I wouldn't have to do hardly any acting at all in ‘Blessed Event.'” h . “So I decided to take a chance.” LONG RUN MAY BE ENDED FOR ‘GOLD DIGGERS’ FILM Rumor Suggests That It Will Soon Be Followed by New War Picture. | “The Gold Diggers of 1933, current- | 1y ficurishing at the Metropolitan, after weeks and weeks of existence there and at other major film houses, is coming to the end of a long, long run. Rumor has it, in fact, that it will be followed next Thursday by the war film, “For- gotten Men.” Whether this is true or not, you can still afford to see this Warner Brothers’ musicale—which is full of nice music, nice dancing, Aline MacMahon and smiling faces. The best smiles are pro- vided by Ruby Keeler, some of the best music by singer Dick Powell, the best fun by Miss MacMahon and Guy Kibbe, and one of the most effective numbers by troupes of lovely ladies who play illuminated violins in a grand and glori- ous scene that savors of the old Zieg- feld days. At the close of the film there is that much discussed “Forgotten Man" num- ber, in which Joan Blondell suddenly emerges as a raving beauty. Whether you like the scene or not, you are bound to admit that it is stirring and that it makes you sit up and take notice—at a ti unfortunately, when you had planned merely to gather together your neighbors and go home on another kind of a wave of enthusiasm. Even if, how- ever, the scene should have been stuck somewhere else—it is well done and de- serves commendation. E.de 8. M. “Doubles” Cause Grief. IT is their off-stage “doubles” that bring most of the grief to motion picture stars. The other day a kidnaping was re- ported in Los Angeles by a woman who claimed a chap representnig himself as Robert Montgomery offered her daugh- ter employment in his household. Other “Robert Montgomerys” have made the real star’s life miserablé by becoming involved in crime news ranging from stabbings to embezzlement. Conrad Nagle, a while ago, was-sur- prised to read that he was in an Eastern city while he actually was at home in Beverly Hills. A flood of bad checks subsequently revealed the pur- pose of the impersonation. Greta Ga bo is constantly being reported in cities she has never visited, much to the dismay of the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studio, which is kept busy with denials. A Middle West woman recently in- sisted she was engaged to Nils As- ther's brother. Nils, of course, has no brother. Another “rubber check” art- ist frequently poses in smart hotels as Clark Gable. And Jean Harlow awoke one recent Sunday morning to read she was visiting Libby Holman at Wil- mington, Del. John Barrymore was astonished to discover a ‘‘double” en- joying himself at Palm Beach one Win- ter, without pausing to pay the bills, To date, however, Jimmy Durante has escaped such annoyance. Nobody else, apparently, can match his fa- mous nose. A3, Koner Hotel Blocts.

La Salle Spier presented Lucy Frank, Jane Esch, Helene Finnacom, Phila Belle Burk and Jessie Blaisdell in re- cital on Wednesday and Thursday eve- nings at the American Association of University Women Club House. Miss Frank gave the first movement of Beethoven's “Sonata, Op. 28,” a ma- ture interpretation. Other outstanding numbers on her program were Schu- mann's “At Evening,” Liszt's “Con- solation in E Major” and Debussy’s ‘Maiden With the Flaxen Hair” and | “Dance of Puck,” all of which were played with a fine sense for tonal beauty. She concluded her program with a facile presentation of the first | movement of Mozart’s “Concerto in D | Major.” | Miss Esch displayed poetic feeling in | | four album leaves, by Schumann, and dramatic force and brilllancy in the prelude, “F Minor, Nocturne,” “C Sharp | Minor” and waltz, “E Flat Major.” by | | Chopin. Two Arabesques by Debussy | were played with delicacy and pre- | cision. Other numbers were the “So- nata, G Major,” by Mozart, and “Tar- | antella” for two pianos, by Heller. | Miss Finnacom played the “Capriccio |on the Departure of the Well-Loved Brother,” by Bach, with distinction, | | while her brilliant rendition of the | | “Impromptu, F Sharp Major.” by | Chopin, and “Isle of Joy,” by Debussy, was one of the high points of the eve- | Belle Burk played “Romanza,” by Granados; “Chanson Dance.” by Moreau, and “Seguidilla,” by Albeniz, | with the charm and abandon which these Spanish compositions require, | while her interpretation of the first ‘movement of the Grieg concerto was | dramatic_and forceful. Jessie Blaisdell gave a splendid per- formance of the Brahms “Sonata in F Minor, Op. 5.” and followed this with a smooth Chopin “Barcarolle.” Her final num- |ber was the extraordinarily effective | variations for two pianos, by Martuccl, | with Mr. Spier at the second piano.
