B AMUSEMENTS. Single Scene and Song Saves “The Gold Diggers” “Lullaby of Broadway" Keeps Film Musicale From Joining the "Routine Affairs"—Good Stage Show—Second Week of "Roberta.” BY E. de S. MELCHER. OLD DIGGERS OF 1935,” now playing at the Earle, has one number called “Lullaby of Broadway” which is definitely the best thing Director Busby Berkeley has ever done. In it Miss Winnie Shaw, Helen Morgan's double, comes home at 6:45 in the morning, finds a cat, the paper and a bottle of milk at her door, goes to bed, gets up at. 7:30 that evening, steps out with Dick Powell, watches some swell dancing, does a little dancing herself and then falls off a skyscraper. While this may sound a little mad— | aggregation is as usual mixed up with and while it is a little mad—the |one skirt after another. [ music, the singing and especially the | dancing puts it on a new and high plane for Old Man Berkeley, and it also saves “Gold Diggers” from being a 1ather routine affair. For, with all due respect to Dick Powell, Alice Brady (in her best role), Gloria Stuart. Hugh Herbert, Frank McHugh, Glenda Farrell, Joseph Caw- thorn, Dorothy Dare, Grant Mitchell and “Lullaby of Broadway.” the new edition of “Gold Diggers” is a tepid duplicate of its sisters and its cousins and its aunts. Mr. Powell has. with- out doubt, the most useless role of his career; Miss Stuart supports him capably—and while Miss Brady is funnier than she has ever been, she isn’t funny enough to carry the pic- ture to any elevation ‘That “Lullaby” number makes up too, for one of Mr. Berkeley's rarer brain children—a scene in which a great many grand pianos are seen scuttling about the stage, moved here and there by the legs of otherwise invisible men. Just how Warner Bros. could have been so careless as to allow these rambling legs to ap- pear in plain view is a great mystery. You don't even have to look closely to see the pianos being manipulated around by a bunch of trousers—and the effect, whatever it is meant to be. is frankly ludicrous. Otherwise, “Gold Diggers” is. as it is intended to be. lavish. occasion- ally amusing and boasting a couple of good tunes. Miss Brady appears as an old society frump, who is given to fits every time her income gets below the $100.000 mark, Miss Stuart is her daughter, Dick Powell is a voung man continually in love. and the Hugh Herbert-Frank McHugh But those grand pianos—heigh ho! * 'l‘HE Earle stage show, headed by the always popular Roscoe Afes, is better than average, due not only | to Mr. Ates, but to those two little | people you saw in “The Mighty Barnum.” Olive and George, who are presented in an act with Buster Shaver. Miss Olive and Mr. George, who are no bigger than a minute, do | their Lilliputian act with command | and speed and get a great big ovation. | Georgie Taps performs his taps with | incredible speed, John and Mary | Mason, excellent roller skaters, toss, that fat girl around as they have been | doing for some time—and there are | some “Vitaphone™ girls thrown in for good measure Bert Granoff sings some fine Irish | melodies against a background of | Irish pictures—-pictures which reveal a | v fine donkey when he is singing | = Wild Irish Rose.” ‘ K-O KEITH'S continues to draw unheard of crowds with “Roberta,” which is now in its second prosperous | week. Not only is this Fred Astaire’s all-time record for all-time good danc- ing. but it goes the Broadway musical comedy one better and gives you the Hollywood fashion show for which your wife has been waiting. Here you may see all those billion dresses which will probably never find a buyer—and a collection of blonds and brunettes guaranteed to knock your eye out | Although the book is as slow as it was on the stage and the comedy not | too brilliant, the film gets such a boost from Fred Astaire and Ginger | Rogers' dancing that it needs little else—except Irene Dunne to sing “Smoke Gets in Your Eye: PATIENT WAS FAST ASLEEP ALL THE TIME This Mystery Drama, at | the Metropolitan, Turns ! Out to Be a Thriller. The greatest mystery about “While the Patient Slept,” the new film at the Metropolitan, is how Richard Federie does manage to stay wrapped in the arms of Morpheus while | enough comedy, confusion and shoot- ing is running rampant in the same room to wake Rip Van Winkile and | an army of incurable sleeping sick- ness patients. On the other hand. the addition of fast-moving, flippant comedy to a standard mystery plot gives the Clue Club’s latest opus all the earmarks of ace-high entertainment. | Pick any enigmatic plot you like, and insert apple-face Guy Kibbee as an Irish detective (who admits he's | practically as efficient as an entire homicide squad), punctilious Aline MacMahon as an attendant nurse, and staccato Allen Jenkins as a pseudo Philo Vance who suspects ev- erybody and proves nothing, and the result has to be entertainment. If you still are adverse to taking any chances. you can put in a mys- teriously disappearing, miniature green elephant, the usual lightning and storm effects, a few trap doors, sliding panels and howling dogs and you have the formula for “While the Patient Slept,” or “The Mystery of Federie Manor.,” or “Five Shots at | 12:30"—or what you will For a plot. you can have all of the far-flung members of a wealthy family called to the bedside of the pecularily sick head of the family in his out-of-the-way manor, and then have somebody mysteriously mur- dered. The police must be called in, a nurse has to attend the sick man and the chief detective must have an assistant, so Mr. Kibbe, Miss Mac- Mahon and Mr. Jenkins arrive. The results are pandemonium, suspenge, comedy and something akin to romance, By having the sick man suffer a stroke and lie unconscious in a room where everything takes place, you are able to arrive at such an unusual title as “Wkhile the Patient Slept.” However handicapped the film is by its title, a small army of not too important but highly efficient play- ers make it worth your while. Two of this army are Patricia Ellis, who flits about to keep you guessing what it's all about. and Lyle Talbot, who | does little very well. Top acting | honors, though, must go to the old man, who sleeps so well. In case you haven't managed to fathom it yet, we liked the thing very | well despite its title, lack of logic and | crack-brained plot. Whether you will | or not depends upon whether you go | looking for mystery or comedy. The mystery is not so hot, the comedy is superb. A short featuring Charlie Davis and | his orchestra, the Paramount news reel and other varieties complete the Metropolitan menu for the week. | M. E. UNITY PROGRESSES | No Obstacle Encountered at Four- | Day Louisville Conference. | LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 16 (#).— | Concluding a four-day conference here | vesterday, the Joint Commission on Methodist Union announced “a great deal has been accomplished” toward unification of three Methodist denomi- | nations. Leaders of the three churches— Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Methodist Episcopal South—partici- | pated in the conference, the third held | by the commission. “At no previous meeting in 30 years has such progress been made,” mem- bers of the commission said. “No ob- stacle was encountered that might prevent union.” BRANDY FROM MILK NORWALK, Conn., March 16 (#).— Carl Lazarowitz, former Government chemist, yesterday said he was pre- pared to open a plant here for making brandies and other alcoholic liquors from surplus milk by a secret process | he had discovered. He asserted the projéct had the sup- | port of the Milk Control | Secretary Swanson. ON NEW LAW SEEN| Parents Set Rumors Going by En-| tering Hospital With Suit Cases. By the Associated Press. CALLANDER, Ontario. March 16— The neighborhood made famous by the Dionne quintuplets calmed somewhat today after a flurry of excitement stirred by a report the children’s par- ents intended to take up ‘“residence” | in the Dafoe Hospital in protest against the provincial guardianship law. Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne yester- day carried suitcases into the hospital of Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe when they called to take a peck at their five daughters. That started the excite- ment and neighbors’ speculation. ‘The bill passed by the Ontario Legis- lature makes the girls “special wards of his majesty the King” and vests control over them in the minister of welfare, The Dionnes remained a couple of hours and then returned to their home, 100 yards away from the hospital. They have expressed dissatisfaction with the guardianship of the babies and retained counsel to regain control of their children. 1936 LABOR PARTY CHOICES PROPOSED La Follette and Holt Nominations Favored by Paul W. Fuller in Parkersburg Talk. By the Associated Press. PARKERSBURG, W. Va, March 16.—Paul W. Fuller of New York, ed- ucational director for the American Federation of Labor, told the labor chautauqua here last night that he | “hopes to see the day when a National Labor party will nominate and elect Senator Robert M. La Follette and Rush D. Holt as President and Vice President of the United States.” Fuller is assisting Morris G. Bull, secretary of the local union of textile workers in the six-day chautauqua, which closes tonight. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin had been asked to address the labor meeting. but was unable to appear. Holt, United States Senator-elect from West Virginia, addressed the meeting earlier in the week. NAVY DENIES SLIGHT TO DELANEY ON BIDS New York Representative Had Charged Non-Invitation to Keel Laying. By the Associated Press. The Navy Department denied ves- terday *hat Representative Delaney, Democrat, of New York, had been slighted when invitations were sent out for the laying of the keel of the cruiser Brooklyn recently at the Brook- lyn Navy Vard. Delaney, a member of the House Naval Commi‘tee, threatened Thurs- day to resign Decause of what he sgid was “discourteous” treatment reccived from navy yards by Representatives. He complained that no committee member nad been irvited to the Brook- lyn ceremony. The Navy Department’s statement vesterday said invitations had been sent Delaney by both the commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and by “It is regretted,”’ it added, “that Representative Delaney feels he was not given proper consideration.” REVUE TO BE STAGED THE_EVENI Popular No Charles Laughton and Zasu Pit Red pl the leading roles.

Richard Arlen is playing the lead in “Let 'Em Have It produced by Edward Small—a picture which glori- fies anti-crime work like that of Mel- vin Purvis, Federal agent, who trapped Dillinger. Purvis suddenly became the inspira- | tion for a whole flock of pictures of | this type. “The G Man.” which stars Jim Cagney; “Federal Dick.” which Paramount will make, and a couple of | unfinished scripts all have Govern- ment sleuths as heroes. George Raft will be signed for “Every Night at Eight.” although this information is not official.

As an East Side | boy he is a knockout, but when they move him into Park Avenue pent- houses it is just too bad. There is a good deal of guessing as to who will play the leading feminine role in “Shanghai” and I have a sneaking suspicion it will be the fair Carole Lombard. This also is not an official announcement, but wait and see. Lombard and Charles Boyer should be a felicitous combination.

Spring Byington has been imported to play second lead to Grace Moore in “On Wings of Song.” Gaetano Me- rola is conducting the orchestra for this one. Spring Byington appeared as the mother in “Little Women,” and has recently played in “Werewolf.” Great excitement was occasioned by the discovery, on the part of a studio employe not connected with the De Mille picture, that the set-up of Wind- sor Castle prepared for “The Cru- sades” was all wrong. The art de-| partment had been hauling carloads of moss, the paint department spray- ing the castle with antiquity, and then along came a quiet little chap em- ployed on another set “Better order the sand blast over, boys,” he drawled. “Windsor was all new and shiny at the time you fellahs are dealing with!" ELDERLY DON JUAN RETURNS TO THE SCREEN | Douglas Fairbanks Im-| personates Lothario in Picture at Columbia. ; Because it has the good grace to make faces at its great lover, “The Private Life of Don Juan” is an en- tertaining cinema charade, expertly directed and cast with something akin to inspiration. The tale prods the legendary swashbuckler in two ob- vious weaknesses of his armor—in- telligence and originality. Grown old and slighftly fat, Don Juan tires of climbing up balconies to easy conquests. In middle age he | finds rope ladders quite uncomfortable, his debts troublesome, fighting irate | lovers a nuisance. Even the most | beautiful of women have a deadly sameness, a fatal resemblance to sev- | eral score others whose names he has | forgotten. He discovers he is irresis- | tible, chiefly because of popular de- | mand among the fair sex, very much as if only one model had been made of the dernier cri in Spring hats. | When an imposter is killed in a duel with somebody’s husband the real | Don Juan gladly consents to have his name buried for a while. After #njoying the salutary pleasure | of watching his own funeral, the genu- ine Don retires to a country inn, con- cerns hims2lf with sleeping, eating and lolling until his vanity is piqued when a scullery maid indicates she is more interested in his pocketbook than hisi technique as a Lothario. Ere a fort- night has passed he learns bitterly | that incognito he is a flop. His at-| tempts to convince various people that he, the zreat Don, still lives, are an- swered with horse laughs. Fortunately he still has an aban-| doned wife lurking in the background. | She seems to have waited rather pa tiently for the day when her wander- ing spouse would discover that a man with two cnins where one should be, gray hair in the wrong places and a slight tendency to wheeze, had best take up some other sport, since ro- mance makes him look a little bit| funny. | Alexander Korda's aforementicned casting genius applied itself in two ways. First, there was the selection of Douglas Fairbanks to impersonate the swain, shallow and out-moded. The second stroke was the inclusion Progeeds to Go to Sick Benefit of Government Employes. With featured acts cootributed by several supper clubs and other per- formers from New York, the Contin- ental Revue will be staged at 8 o'clock tonight in the Washington Audi- torium to aid the work of the Sick Benefiit Association of the American Federation of Govesnment Employes. The stage show will be followed by dancing. of three such lovely ladies as Merle Oberon, Binnie Barnes and Benita Hume in the chorus of Don Juan's victims. The minor roles are given their due by Clifford Heahersley and Joan Gardner. Short subjects and a comedy fill out the Columbia bill. R.B. P, Jr. Men Like Embroidery. London men an embroldery craze. 'MANY ENTERTAINERS ON REVUE PROGRAM Professionals Offer Services for Employes’ Benefit Tonight. Harold Knight's broadcasting or- chestra, the original Ipana Trouba- dors, entertainers from local and New York night clubs and radio sta- tions and several acts from downtown stages will participate in the Conti- nental Revue in the Washington Audi- torium tonight.

Radio Joe Kaufman, B. M. Bridwell and other local radio performers and acts from the Club Habana and the Earle and Fox Theaters are among the local stars who have donated their services. There will be several hours of danc- ing to music by Raymond Knight's Orchestra after the revue. SEEK FUNDS FOR BUS Neighborhood House Will Present Play Tonight. Striving to raise funds to purchase a bus body for a chassis presented last year, the staff of Neighborhood House will offer a play, “The Bashful Mr. Bobs,” at the settlement, 470 N street southwest, tonight at 8 o'clock. Friends of Neighborhood House last Government | year presented a chassis to the settle- ment and the staff wishes to build a bus body in order to take the cv_nldren f the settlement to various points of nterest and on outings throughout the year. The Community Chest budget does not cover expenditure for a bus and the play is being given in an effort to raise the necessary funds. o NEW DRAMA GROUP.
