“It’s a Gift” Shows Fields At His Best as a Comedian His Fun Is Not Alwnys Good—Sylvia Sidney New. but It Is Always as an Indian Maid at the Earle—Grace Moore at Metropolitan. C. FIELDS is loose again at Loew's Palace this week (until Christmas) e and when we say loose we mean rampant. At last given material suited to his prec- jous talents, the drollest of modern comedians makes “It's a Gift” an im- mortal chapter in the hilarious mem- ories of his camp followers. Not that all the gags ripped off dur- ing the troubled progress of Poppa Harold Bisonette (Bi-so-nay, please, and it's not dog Latin), are won- drously fresh and original. Quite un- important. More pertinent is the fact this tale of a harassed husband is right up Mr. Fields’ alley, and was beautifully directed by Norman Mc- Leod, who has the good sense in all his sequences to make allowance for the whoops and howls of the.audience. You can go without anticipating that one good line will be shouted down by the mirth from another—unless later audiences laugh longer than the crowd at the opening show yesterday, and that was long enough. The story of “It’s a Gift” is not very much. Poppa Bisonette owns a grocery store, has a garrulous wife, two chil- dren and a yen to own a California orange grove. Finally, he does. That's about all. Thin stuff? On the con- trary, one of the meatiest comedies seen around town in months. Maybe you'd better take into account the fact we think M. Fields the funniest man in the world, but this is a good pic- ture. ‘The supporting cast includes Kath- leen Howard, excellent as the Bisonette frau; baby LeRoy, who, as advertised, speaks for the first time in his film career—saying “Bye-bye,” and sundry others who are not especially vital, but suffice in their roles. The program at the Palace is aug- mented by a news-reel feature review of 1934, a Terry Toon cartoon, a short subject, “Marching With Sci- ence,” and a musical short, “Three Cheers for Love.” Try to arrange to miss the last one. Terrible. * ok x x ROP around to the Earle this week if your curicsity is piqued by the idea of Sylvia Sidney as an Indian. In “Behold My Wife” she not only goes Apache, but makes the whole of New York society redskin-conscious when introduced as the wife of hand- some Gene Raymond, a playboy on revenge bent. Mixed up in the inter-racial per- plexities of this film is a generous dose of violence. A suicide of Raymond’s and happens to cross the path of a plastered Indian warrior, and a mur- der, tossed in for good measure. The idea is that vengeful Mr. Raymond decides to repay his family for the death of his sweetheart. Intent upon disgracing them, he wanders toward the land of the wigwam, meets Tonita, a maid whose thoughtful chieftain father sent her to college, gets shot and enchants the girl while recuper- ating. It occurs to him that no finer em- barrassment could be thrust upon his family than the problem of an Indian daughter-in-law. He promptly mar- ries the girl, races back to New York with her and is mulling over the fruits of sweet victory when his bride sud- denly puts on & few snappy gowns, tosses aside the warpath manner and, meeting his friends, “slays 'em.” In addition to Miss Sidney and Mr. Raymond, both of whom should be credited with brave performances against obvious odds, the picture boasts an unusual supporting cast. H. B. Warner, Laura Hope Crews, Monroe Owsley, Eric Blore and others. Frankie and Johnny Marvin, the Iatter the better known of the two, headline the Earle stage bill this week with a turn of songs and comedy, mostly songs. Johnny Marvin has been in the crooning game for years and is consequently a finished per- former. His brother is an instrument- alist as well as a singer. Numbers are mostly cowboy and hill-billy. Johnny also yodels, if that’s any help. The other acts consist of an acro- batic outfit called the Liazeed Dem- nati Troupe; Fred Reynolds and Allie White in a fair comedy turn, with music; Nina Olivette, assisted by Murray and King, in a raging dance performance. The usual short sub- jects and & news reel fill out a pro- gram which also includes Bert Gran- hoff’s customarily splendid singing and the ever-refreshing appearance of Miss Audrey Seiber. * kX X “ON‘E NIGHT OF LOVE" came back to the Metropolitan yesterday, in- tending to stay until Christmas. No- body specified which Christmas. We hope it's at least 1936, as this gem of motion pictures should be seen reg- ularly, like the sunset. Grace Moore and Tullio Carminati give resilience, song, comedy and some devastating pathos to the story of a girl who wanted to be an opera singer and fall in love, or both. The cast also has Lyle Talbot, Mona Barrie, Luis Al- berni and others. If you've seen this stenographer sweetheart, barred from marrying him by his snobbish family; & shooting, when the lad goes West WHEELER AND WOOLSEY IN LAUGH FILM Plenty of Fun in “Ken- tucky Kernels,” the Picture at Keith’s. After a few months’ abstinence from the efforts of Messrs. Wheeler and Woolsey it is a pleasant surprise to find that their mildly insane antics can provide plenty of fun. This “Kentucky Kernels” filn at Keith’s offers much to arouse the risibilities. It is a dizzy tale of feudin’ Ken- tuckians and the difficulties thrust | upon the two nit-wits of screendom when they inadvertantly walk in upon the scene with one Spanky, supposed heir to both a plantation and half of the feud. There are Spanky’s fond- ness for tinkling sound of breaking glass, gun-play galore, a horse which dips its nose into a pail which had Jjust recently been removed from the far end of a still and then takes ‘Wheeler and Woolsey plunging on a wild ride through the mountains, an almost “military” wedding and in- numerable other idiocies of the two comedians, to provide a high quota of chuckles and even a tolerable num- ber of good, rousing laughs. There is but one musical number in “Kentucky Kernels,” a thing called “Just One Little Kiss,” which seems to have been dragged in by the heels when no one was looking. It is well presented, however, and displays Bert Wheeler singing to Mary Carlisle in the fashion in which only Bert ‘Wheeler can sing, Noah Beery inton- ing the same song into the ear of an- cient Aunt Hannah, Spanky singing to his dog, and bespectacled Bob ‘Woolsey crooning “Just One Little Kiss” to a juvenile mule. Wheeler and Woolsey play “Ken- tucky Kernels” with a gay abandon, and while they have been better, they also have been much worse. Here, too, they have the assistance of an able supporting cast, led by Spanky McFarland, who has what it takes to be almost any one’s favorite child star. Then there are a dusky lad called Sleep 'n’ Eat, which sounds more like an ambition than a name; Noah Beery, who plays the old Ken- tucky colonel, wearing a pair of can- nons with his full dress suit, and Mary Carlisle, a young lady who does as well as could any ingenue with the role. The film was directed by George Stevens. The program at Keith's also in- cludes a news reel review of the past year and a well-tinted and enjoynble color rhapsody.

Arms “Adviser”’ Furnishes Guns for Motion Pictures Authority on Weapons Refuses to Allow Pro- | ducer to Use Implement if It Is BY MOLLIE MERRICK. OLLYWOOD, Calif., December 22 —Hollywood has long been noted as a town where all types of people hold all sorts of odd positions, some times at a salary well worth while. There's one charming Irish woman, for instance, who is always called in when studios are making a picture dealing with royalty. Once a lady-in-waiting to the present Queen of England, she knows exactly what formalities are ob- served by the servants in a royal household, how formal parties are conducted or what the usual procedure is when royalty makes a public ap- pearance. Then there are technical dil‘eCwl’S‘ be authorities on everything from life | in Siam down to the college dances of | 1934. And you'd be surprised how | many of these people make their living in Hollywood in this manner. One of the most interesting people T've met in a long while is J. S. Stem- | bridge, “armament adviser” to Holly- | wood in general, who guarantees to furnish the correct weapons for the correct occasions and who owns the largest arsenal in the United States. Stembridge is a tall, gray-haired man who has been in Hollywood for 18 years and built up the only business of its kind in town. His official status in the eyes of Uncle Sam. is | that of a licensed dealer in weapons. “You'll see a $200 license framed on the wall of his office at Paramount studio, yet he has never sold a gun in his life and doesn't want to. He has a better idea than than; he rents them to the studios as they are needed. He figures about 15 permanent cus- tomers, which keep him going nicely. And he’s a stickler for form and rou- tine who wouldn’t loan an old-fash- joned shot gun to his best customer unless he had a Government permit to give in return. When the director of a film has a scene in which he has to arm, say 500 soldiers, he applies to the Gov- ernment for a permit and then goes to the “armament adviser” for the “No permit, no guns” is Stem- bridge’s motto. He's never yet had any trouble and he doesn’t want any. Besides knowing more about shoot- ing irons than the average field mar- shal, Stembridge is well versed in past and present history, and will refuse to rent arms to any director who is un- wittingly demanding the wrong thing for his picture. If he can’t convince the director that he’s wrong and rent him the correct firearms, he doesn’t care to work with him. He has that much pride in his work. He'll tell you that there were prac- tically no guns before 1250, but that he has nearly every kind of arms made since then. Some of them, of course, can’t be used now as they are | too old, but they give the- correct atmosphere to a scene. If he has to supply arms impossible to get, he ap- plies his vast knowledge of the sub- ject toward directing the manufac- ture of wooden duplicates of the weapon. But this doesn’t happen very often. In the years in which he has been in this business in Hollywood, Stem- bfldxe has lost only one revolver. That pened five years ago and is the only loss he has ever had. He is especially proud of his col- lection of Arabian flintlocks made in Napoleon's time, and a set of carved brass guns made in Turkey around 1700. he tells you, some few years ago in Hollywood when the epidemic of sheik pictures had the world by storm. He thinks it’s about time for & new cycle of Foreign Legion films to spring up and expech to do good business with them, too. The smallest weapon that Stem- bridge owns is a revolver that looks | Z: like a pepper shaker, with a heavy ring handle that can be used as a brass knuckle. The finest firearm in his collection ummushmouun.v-hudnuoo and advisers galore who guarantee to| Incorrect {Ol’ Situation. Stembridge’s personal favorites among his huge collection are five dueling cases that he had sent him from France. They are the kind that noblemen used when they quarreled over some fair beauty of the past and decided to meet in the cold, gray dawn behind the alders and shoot it out. These guns were made especial- ly to settle questions of honor and! come in lovely velvet-lined cases with a bullet mold, reamer and mallet. “It was as much a technical as a diplomatic job to be a second in those days,” says Stembridge,. “when gentlemen shot it out, instead of bringing suit.” And we might add—or saying it with their fists at formal parties, as they do all too often in Holly- vood. Wk;en Mr. Stembridge was very young he was in the Army and took part in fighting in the Philippines. That was the only time he ever shot, he says. Like the proverbial bartender who never takes a drink, | he never goes hunting and hates to think of it. of birds. When he first came to Hollywood in the old days during the late war, Especially the killing | he became an instructor in the Lasky Home Guards, in which Cecil De Mille and the late Willard Mack were high officers. This gave him entrance to the studios and in the pictures he saw made at that time he noticed so many guns used at the wrong time that it annoyed him and he de- cided to start in the business of giving advice on the use of fire- arms. It gradually grew into the pro- portions it has today, with Stem- bridge, as “armament adviser,” hoM- ing one of the most unique positions in the film world.

By the United States Soldiers’ Home Band Orchestra, in Stanley Hall, this evening at 5:30 o’clock. John S. M. immermann, bandmaster; Anton *“Music in the Air,” Starring John Boles and Gloria Swanson, Has About Everything to Make \It Popular. USIC and comedy are com- bined—not into what goes under the head of musical comedy—but into what comes under the category of an A-1 fast-moving and tuneful version of the Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein op- eretta, “Music in the Air,” amply sup- plied with humor, is the screen at- traction, while five song-hit writers zip across tunes they composed to headline a first-rate stage program. With Gloria Swanson d John Boles in no more n supporting roles of & musical rothance that has melody built through it, around it, over it and under it, “Music in the Air” hits a new high in unpretentious cinema musicals and serves as a me- dium for the debut of June Lang (who is pretty in a nice, blond way and sings) and for bringing stalwart Douglass Montgomery to the fore in the kleigh-light art. As temperamental operatta artists, Miss Swanson, & flighty prima donna, and Mr. Boles, a balmy lyric writer, the two so-called principals turn in & crack-brained pair of performances that are more reminiscent of two of Ted Healy's stooges than the allur- (ng Gloria and the staid Mr. Boles, Be that as it may, their antics, especially in tearing asunder their producer’s office to put on an extemporaneous operatta scene for no good reason at all, supply most of the comedy for the picture. ‘The scenes are in Bavaria, where you can feel music in the atmosphere, and in Munich where Villagers June Lang and Doug Montgomery go with her father to get his operatta score produced. At Munich a clash of tem- peraments splits up the team of Swan- son and Boles, 50 that she turns to the and he attempts to make a prima donna of the Bavarian lass. Mont- comery finally walks out on Miss Swanson, and Miss Lang is unsuccess- ful as an operatta star, so that both pairs reunite in the end. The songfest of several hundred villagers singing “I Told Every Little Star,” or words to that effect, and a scene from the operetta production with Miss Swanson and Mr, Boles in leading roles are the high lights of the cinema. Miss Lang and Mr. Mont- gomery lend true charm by the sim- plicity and sincerity of their perform- ances as Bavarian lovers. ‘With Charlie Tobias, whom youwll remember for having composed “When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver,” act- ing as master of ceremonies; Al Sher- man, Gerald Marks, Murry Mencher and Al Lewis, who have written such | tunes as “Throw Another Log on the Fire,” “No, No, a Thousand Times No,” and “You're the One, You Little | Son of a Gun,” playing three pianos | and singing, this group of song writers | unite to put across a well-timed act to cap a swell vaudeville bill. The team of Buster West, comedian, and Lucille Page, acrobatic twister, late of the “Scandals,” is well re- ceived, with the principal plaudits go: ing for Miss Page’s snakish dance in- terpretations. Versatile Bobby May, who juggles four clubs and five bot- tles at different times, all over the stage, and then stands on his head to play a tune by bouncing three balls on a xylophone, is worth anybody’s time and attention, and the Jean Devereaux Revue presents five very capable danc- ers.

GANGSTER PICTURE COLUMBIA FEATURE| “The Gay Bride” Stars Carole| Lombard and Chester Morris in Story of Underworld. It seems there was a young lady named Mary, who, when but a childy| was forced to endure the hnrrowmg‘ strains of poverty, and this truly la- | mentable circumstance turned her in later years into a platinum-tressed | precious-metal excavator, who loved | neither wisely nor well nor nearly so profitably as she had planned. This, ladies and gentiemen, is “The Gay Bride,” now at the Columbias This also is somewhat of a gangster film, not because Charles Francis Coe wrote a magazine story about the effects of repeal on the intricate task | of operating a chain of speakeasies, through which he wove the antics of our Mary, for the M. G. M. adaptation is merely the saga of Mary, but it is a gangster film because the successive victims of the young lady’s chisel are gentlemen of the underworld. The gangland gentlemen withstand very well the strain of the intended satire on their business, and are no end pleasant about “rubbing out” certain other gentlemen of their ilk who get in the way. But “The Gay Bride” for the most part lets these criminally- minded chaps go their ways of assas- sination and concentrates on the task of finally reaching a conclusion by having Mary achieve happiness by marrying & fellow and mortgaging his garage. It is all very touching, this story of “Merry Widow Mary.” Carole Lombard, a handsome sight, portrays the silver-topped mercenary lassie, achieving the correct note of unbounded dumbness. Chester Morris does a more tolerable job as the chap with whom Mary finally is joined in married bliss after much sullen mutual hate. Zazu Pitts provides merriment whenever she has opportunity, which perhaps is too seldom, and Leo Carillo, Sam Hardy and Nat Pendleton do equally well in the concerted effort by the cast to overcome “story trouble.” Jack Conway directed. —H.
