B—12 AMUSEMENTS. “The Pursuit of Happiness” And Custom of “Bundling” ,TH:sc Areon View at Earle This Week. TogctHer With Average Stage Show—'"College Rhythm,” With Many Stars, at Palace. BY E. de S. MELCHER, HE ancient and honorable sport of “bundling” is aired with such charm by Francis Lederer and Joan Bennett at the Earle this week that “The Pursuit of Happiness” becomes immediately one of those things which you should see. ‘While we have spent a good six days explaining to various cronies just what “bundling” is and have confused at least three young ladies by a literal reading of the word from one of our standard dictionaries, you know by now that this 1778 method of becoming affianced is not an evil doing and that probably your great-great grandmammies and great-great grandpappies derived great good therefrom. The screen transcription of this popular Broadway stage show is an expert interpretation that no one need fear. While the story itself is ex- tremely light, it is also extremely amusing, and the presence of Mary Boland and Charles Ruggles adds greatly to an already attractive cast. The choice of Francis Lederer for the role of the Hessian soldier who finds himself bundling in a Connecti- cut parlor, was a stroke of brilliance on the part of Paramount. Mr. Led- erer, who was led violently astray by & poor script in his first American film «“Man of Two Worlds”), atones for his errors (which were not, by the way, his fault), with his agreeable Hessian- isms in this picture—being, as a mat- ter of fact, so completely himself that those who know him will not be able to tell where Mr. Hessian Soldier be- gins and where Mr. Lederer ends. so | much alike are they in their manner- | isms. | Joan Bennett was also a wise choice | for the young lady bundler, being one of the few 1934 actresses who can speak shy maidenly speeches without giggling and rolling around like a tub. | ‘Then when you have Mary Boland in | a Revolutionary nightgown (we re- | fer to the war), Charles Ruggles | as her continualiy troubled partner: | Minor Watson in the smooth role of | the colonel, and the especially excel- lent Walter Kingsford as the squire, who plays a sort of bundling Peeping | Tom, you have a cast that commits no | strikes and no errors and plays each line up to the hilt The only role that has been spoiled is the one you saw Kathryn Givney take over the jumps this Summer at the National. Most of the fire has been taken out of this gal. even though it is played by handsome Bar- bara Barondess. Still. in spite of the | fact that some of Broadway's favor- ite lines have been deleted and that | that potent last line has been softened, you will find that this is first-rate en- | tertainment—an all too rare Holly-‘w wood comedy with charm and sophis- | tication. | It will. of course, not be a box-office champion. THE Earle stage show this week is devoted to Pappy, Zeke, Ezra and x K X % Elton, popularly known as the West- chester hillbillies, who yodle and whatnot with great skill in a sketch that the audience enjoys. Other per- formers include the Four Franks, one of whom has a great future as a dancer; Don Ruiz and Bonita, who do very well after a lame start—and Ed- die White, who—well, anyway, he tries. Freddie Clark’s overture is “Rio Rita,” Bert Granoff does the inci- dental singing and Audrey Sieber ap- pears only four times before the cur- tain—which seems too bad. X % ok % R. JOE PENNER and his duck will have to excuse us if we register disappointment over his first film, “College Rhythm,” at the Palace. While the picture abounds in healthy youth, good music and pleasant faces, it somehow seems awfully long if it is meant to exploit the crazy talents of its chief player—particularly when that player isn't around long enough anyway either to do himself or any one else much good. Furthermore as the picture progresses you have the quaint suspicion that it isn't as hilarious as | you had imagined, what with that swell trouper. Lyda Roberti, in one of the principal spots. Jack Oakie to give it one of his customary grins and Helen Mack and Mary Brian to help the foot ball player immortalize that final touchdown. Nevertheless, “College Rhythm” will be popular throughout the land. what with its four fast tunes, Mr. Penner's duck and Lanny Ross, the idol of every ‘woman past 43, to sing one of its major hits. If Mr. Ross isn't as yet an actor it isn’t perhaps his fault—his constant and pleasant duties over the radio probably keeping him from full-time lessons in the grease-paint art. The story has to do with department stores and their various rackets—from foot ball games to dances in the main lobby—and a piccolo player who be- comes a pigskin star. Some of it is amusing—most of it isn't. But when Mr. Penner is first around you will get a laugh—and from there on you will LU CLERGH G o iy s think Penner really is. His scenes with Miss Roberti are much better, inci- dentally, than his scenes with his duck—that *“g00-goo” song striking | probably a new low. PRELATE DEPLORES PART-TIME RELIGION Bishop Rohlman Says Faith Should Guide Actions of Daily Life. Segregation of religion from the practical affairs of daily life was held | up as the principal present-day men- ace against Christianity, by Most Rev. | Henry P. Rohlman, Bishop of Daven- port, in a sermon delivered this morn- ing at Catholic University during a solemn high mass in observance of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Of modern civilization, he said: “Its false prophets would put God aside and deny His influence in the various activities of daily life; they would inclose religion in an artificial compartment of life; make of it the affair of a certain limited time and of a definitely limited class of people, and they would thus destroy the in- fluence of God in the really important affairs of human life, whether individ- ual or social.” Religion also should permeate scien- tific efforts, Bishop Rohlman said, and | unless the spirit of science is religious “it is doomed to defeat.” To meet this modern trend of set- ting religion apart from the world, Pope Pius XI has proclaimed the doc- trine of Catholic Action, which would carry the doctrines of the church into every phase of life, Bishop Rohlman declared. DARTMOUTH STUDENTS ASK FRATERNITY PROBE | Societies Termed in ‘“Unwhole- some, Unhealthy and Unnat- ural Condition.” Br the Associated Press. HANOVER, N. H., December 8.— Dartmouth students asked the college president yesterday to have examined “the unwholesome. unhealthy and un- natural condition” of student fra- ternities. F The Dartmouth student governing body, Palaeopitus, in a letter signed by its president, George Colton, asked President Ernest Martin Hopkins to appoint a committee to study the pos- sibility of changes found desirable and which might be made in the structure of the fraternities. President Hopkins. in a letter which the Dartmouth, student daily, will pub- lish tomorrow agreed to appoint such » committee immediately. The Dart- mouth itself editorially indorsed the move, commenting that the “fraterni- ties have gone uncared for in their desperate sickness.” BAND CONCERT.

The program of music for two pianos by Anne Hull and Mary Howe, which opens the 1934-35 season of the Inter- national Art Forum, has been an- nounced to include two of Miss Howe's popular Spanish dance compositions, “Petenera” and “Jota.” The recital will be held at the Washington Club, “FLIRTATION WALK” AT METROPOLITAN Dick Powell's Picture Remains a Popular Feature of Down- town Sector. ‘When Dick Powell tired of singing lush songs to various damosels who | smiled at him sweetly, he set up such a howl something had to be done in Hollywood. Result: “Flirtation Wall,” which played a week at the Earle and still is going strong at the Metropoli- tan after its opening last Monday, providing Mr. Powell with an oppor- tunity to do something more than vocalize. | While George Arliss need not worry about the competition yet, in this piece young Richard has ample op- portunity to emote by falling in love and out again several times, by al- | most getting booted from the sacro- | sanct halls of West Point by divers other means. He stands up well under the strain, promising that some day he will give up his caroling if the fe- male population of the land will per- mit, which they won't. Director Frank Borzage is respon- sible for much of the entertainment in this film. He allows his players to skip along lightly having a great time until he comes to a highly dramatic scene, whereupon he looses a wicked punch, and hokum or not, you'll like it. You will also be moved not a little when Dick and his hard-boiled ser- geant, Pat O'Brien, almost cry on each other’s shoulders as they part at the dock in Honolulu.and when Sergt. Pat actually does shed a few tears at | Dick’s graduation. Pat O'Brien turns out to be the star of this more or less epic of the Army, being most effective as the occasion- ally pugilistic gentleman who keeps Dick in line. Mr. Powell's companion in romance is Ruby Keeler, who offers nothing new in Keelerism. Johnny Arledge and Ross Alexangler are others who contribute handsomely to the en- terprise. The usual short subjects are | included on the Metropolitan's bill. R.B. P, Jr. U. S. Implements Popular.

COHAN HOLDS UP PICTURE BY HIS WORK| |But “Gambling,” at the | JACK SIDNEY, m. c. and mentor of | Columbia, Is a Rather Dull Bit of Cinema. However successful George M. Co- han may have been with his play | “Gambling” on the New York stage, | the film version, which opened at the Columbia yesterday, is a rather dull | affair. It offers little other than | America’s first actor and Wynne Gib- son. All of the lack of vim and vigor of the £1m is in spite of Mr. Cohan, how- ever, and not because of him. He | comes through nobly and plays his | role the way you expect him to. Every expression, every trick gesture, every slight inflection of every word is there, making it a true Cohanesque performance—which perhaps is enough | to expect and sufficient return for | the price of admission. Wynne Gib- | son also does some very excellent | work as one of those women who dig | for gold. but not with pick and shovel. | Her's is the task of contributing most of the comedy relief, which in this case is somewhat of an assignment, | for on occasions “Gambling” needs} relief. | Having never seen the stage produc- | tion, it is safe to surmise that the | script writer assigned by Fox to the picturization of “Gambling” is some- | Troupers Glimpses of Stage Folk in Washington. the Jack Sidney Samples at Loew’s | * Fox this week, is a member of the now famous Sidney theatrical tribe, a clan which may yet hold a voting majority in all branches of show busi- ness if its progeny continue to take to stage as aptly as have the members of the present generation. Others now in the game include George Sid- | ney, the stage and film comedian; | Mabel Sidney, who is in radio, and Louis K., one of the powers that be in the management and producing end of theatricals. While none of the elder Sidneys ever looked a footlight or a spot in the eve, four out of the seven chil- | dren have established themselves in one branch or another of the the- ater, and there is a countless crop of sons, daughters. nephews and nieces now actively engaged or threatening to become so in the great sport of keeping the public amused. | Jack Sidney himself was once a blackface single in vaudeville, trouped around for a number of years before the family star was in the ascendency, did some radio work., and then hit upon the idea of digging up new talent annually, organizing it into a revue and taking his unit on the road. Undoubtedly the most effective of | his current company is Betty Kean, a | blond and at first glance ungainly young lady who has mastered the | Eleanor Powell dancing technique after a fashion, and is famed in show NURSES AND HOSPITALS IN THIS PICTURE “The W hite Parade,” at Fox, Is Good Story of W hite-clad Workers. ‘The cinema people have launched one of their more successtul investi- gations into little known industries in “The White Parade.” on the screen at Loew's Fox this week, presenting a sentimental and rather charming pic- ture of the nursing profession as its members probably do not know it. So far as we have been able to learn from the Hollywood story-tellers, there is pent up behind the walls of all hos- pitals a vast amount of emotion, devo- tion and tragedy, unaemonstrated during busy days of taking tempera- tures and serving dietetic meals, but there nevertheless. “Men in White” revealed the doctor's side of the story, and “The White Parade” sets forth in glowing, tearful terms the legend of those patient women who suffer rou- tine in order that others may suffer 55 While no one in the nursing busi- ness seems ever to have very much leisure between one sunrise and the next, if we may believe the picturiza- tion at hand, there are apparently certain deep and moist-eyed compen- what less talented at building a |gossip because the son of a certain | aUONS to be derived {rom healing smashing play than is Mr. Cohan, for | prominent English sportsman was the ailments of others and submitting the drama must have had more life |once so enamoured of her she re- ”ndn rigorous code of conduct.

He finds out: but unless you are sus- ceptible to almost any motion picture | that comes along, you can sit through he ever finds out or not. He is the operator of a high-class gambling at the end he forswears the gaming tables to marry one of the characters | in the play, a girl. The photography, | charitably speaking, is indifferent. The case of “Gambling” seems to| be the case of a play being man-| handled by the magic lantern boys. | while the author was forced to stand by because, with a more or less lim- | ited Hollywood education, he did not see what was happening to his brain child. Without Mr. Cohan this would be pretty sad, but if you are one of those who can watch George M.| Cohan for himself alone, he will not let you down. H.M. MARYLAND U. DRAMA. Many Washington players will be in the cast when the Footlight Club of the University of Maryland opens its Fall season with Albert Casella’s “Death Takes a Holiday” next Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday in the university auditorium.

Opposite Mr. Kressin, as ( her freshman year was voted most beautiful girl on the campus. Fred Haskin, jr. another able actor of the Roadside group, will play Baron Cesarea, and other localites in the cast include Mary Worthen, Mar- guerite Norris and Samuel Leishear. “Death Takes a Holiday” is being di- rected by Dr. C.

Cast in a rather difficult leading role of this picture, Miss Young must be credited with valiant attempts to meet its requirements. She is in- variably pleasing to behold and man- ages to slip peaceably past such em- barrassing moments as the recitation of “The Night Before Christmas” in & maternity ward nursery. John Boles is the playboy love interest of the drama, discharging his duties com- mendably, except for one brief se- quence. wherein he is called upon to be clumsily drunk. The other notables of the company are Miss Muriel Kirk- land, a sharp comedienne; Dorothy Wilson, the least happy nurse of ail on acocunt of an unfortunate love affair; Jane Derwell, as buxomly ma- ternal as Sara Haden is appropri- azsgyl crisp, and Frank upholds the hard-worki tradition in fine style. PR e The Fox stage show this week is Dot the merrfest meeting of vaudevil- lians held around town in recent months, but it has an occasional bright spot not to be missed. “Slim” Timblin. the blackface pulpiteer, is the brightest of these; Betty Kean mildly illuminates the otherwise neg- lighle Jack Sidney revue with her Eleanoxj Powell style of tap dancing; there is a clever juggling act called the Five Elgins, and the radio sing- ers, Les Rels and Artie Dunn, neatly harmonize the melodies of the day. Phil Lampkin’s “La Gioconda” over- ture is one of his best. and the pro- gram is rounded out by a newsreel. R.B.

BY MOLLIE MERRICK. OLLYWOOD, Calif., December 8 (N.A.N.A.).—Hollywood's off to the races! § Players’ enthusiasm for foot ball, polo, tennis or any of the sports in which they’ve been so interested in the past, amounts to nothing compared to the positive frenzy with which they’re all planning on attending the opening of the Santa Anita race track on Christmas day. 5 And producers, taking this as an indication that if the sport of kings is so fascinating to motion picture stars it will un- doubtedly be popular throughout the country, are planning to put some of their best bets into pictures with a race track background. Warner Baxter's newest picture,|ing the rounds at the moment. I Conroy, who | “Broadway Bill,” is a racing story. Filmed at Tanforan, near San Fran- cisco, the studio has decided to pre- miere the film in the city by the| Golden Gate, giving it all the lights, celebrities and ballyhoo that have made “the Hollywood pre-meer” fa- mous the world over. Leo Carrillo will be presented in “The Winning Ticket,” a story based on the Irish Sweepstakes; Warners have a racing story up their sleeve that Jimmy Cagney will make; and rumor has it that Jimmy Dunn will | appear in a story that glorifies the | jockey. Elizabeth Patterson is back in Hol- lywood to appear in “Her Master's' Voice,” the Clare Kummer play in| which she had such a successful sea- son in New York. | Billie Burke has the role of the rich | aunt, who is one of those fussy, thor- | oughly feminine types that Miss Burke does so well | Though they plan to open a day or s0 before Christmas, they haven't vet decided on a leading man. Roger Pryor is the one they want, but it seems that Roger planned to eat his holiday turkey with his family in the | East, and just can't decide what to do | about it, Shirley Temple's new picture was | previewed the other evening. It's| called “Bright Eyes” and_ Shirley's| fans won't be disappointed in her performance. Real acting honors, however, go to Charles Sellon in the role of Uncle Ned Smith, an irritable invalid who spends his time in a wheel chair, but | manages to get more action out of his part than any one else in the film A youngster by the name of Jane Withers deserves praise for the amus- | ing manner in which she portrayed a spotled, ill-mannered child. Teamed as she was, with the angelic lookmg‘ little Temple, she was just right. And. by the way, Jimmy Dunn does as nice a bit of work as a young avia- tor that we've seen in a long time. i Here’s the most amusing yarn go- Where and When Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing.
