MELCHER. “Go Into Your Dance,” reveals the fact that Al is in a good humor this season, that he evidently enjoys playing opposite his wife (Ruby Keeler) and that that right knee is still doing service and ! PREVIEW of Al Jolson’s new film, still bears the brunt of his mammy songs. While Mr. Jolson doesn’t sing “Mammy” all the way through this picture, he still is allowed that one potent minute, when with arms akimbo, with eyes flashing and with 10 fingers pointing in 10 different direc- tions, he becomes the champion pleader for all mammies and dusts off his admiration for the m with a heart that should be breaking almost as much as that knee. That knee is, however, as stout to- day as it was when it came down with s bang in the middle of “April Showers.” On it have rested more mammy songs than you can shake a stick at. It is as famous as Mae West's profile, as Maxie Baer's mit- tens, as Jeanette MacDonald waking up in the morning. It has helped to stimulate the tear founts of thou- | sands of sentimental maidens—and it has, of course, prevented Mr. Jolson from falling on his nose. | Not that he has any intention of so doing in “Go Into Your Dance.” His | mission here is to get back on Broad- | way after he has been expelled fruin its ermine precincts. A story said to | be based on an honest-to-goodness Broadway playboy married to one of Hollywood's stars now on the decline, it gives Jolson a chance not only to sing a_mammy song, but to watch Ruby Keeler dance, to escape from Patsy Kelly and to fall for the subtle oglings of Helen Morgan, a lady whose | averdupois has lessened and whose charms have done just the opposite, S SOME day Miss Morgan and Patsy Kelly will get a real break on the screen. Then watch their smoke! While Miss Morgan does a little burn- ing in “Go Into Your Dance,” it isn't the red hot sort of a sequence that one of these days will ignite the town. She | is quietly revengeful, gently malicious ! and capable of reaching a good 98 | degrees. But she is never allowed the boiling point. One or two clinches with Jolson, and then she fades. It is interesting to observe, however, that even at her entrance, when she has to play second [ fiddle to Glenda Farrell, that all eyes‘ turned toward her—that she can be | lost in a crowd and people still will find her out and be a good deal more interested in what she is doing than they are in what any one else is doing. She might easily be the Lucrezia Borgia of the screen. The “My Bill” days of rubbing her hands together in sort of a soapy exuberance are gone. She can get her man now just as well off the piano as on. And while at the moment she may not be the Duse of the studios, her emotions are very much under control, and dollars to doughnuts, she could do a Norma Shearer role with an elegance, a depth, a haunting whatnot, that would amaze you. Remember “Applause”? It's time somebody did something like this for her over again. R pATSY KELLY is, of course, a bird of another feather. She never starts a picture or finishes a picture. Somewhere in the middle there is Patsy Kelly—and that's about all (except in those brief comedies when she is permitted to roughhouse all over the place). Nevertheless she! attracts attention. She attracts it by | being the most casual, the sloppiest, the most “I don't give a darn” sort | of a person on the screen. Her wan‘l-’ Tobe doesn't alter her appearance one jota—she can wear crown jewels and | @ dress worth a king’s ransom and still look as badly as she did before | breakfast. There's something likeable | about her in spite of it. | She has a brief fling in the new Jolson piciure and does that flinging as is her custom superlatively. A would-be hoofer who tries to charm Jolson with her “dance of the dying Flamingo,” she snaps into the film for @& second and then snaps out of it. In good old Kelly form she disappears be- fore you can say jack rabbit and is out of the game just when you want her the most. However, the faci that she is around is a good omen—and we should say that the combination of | Kelly and Jolson is most fortunate. o R FTER the preview last night, local Teviewers were given their first glimpse of a trio known as “The Three Little Words.” In the pale-green quarters of the Warner offices, melody broke loose and these amazing young | ladies plunked out talent that is obviously going places. With the aid | | Joy, of their manager, arranger and ac- companist, Mr. Herb Cook, they sang the songs that you will hear Friday at the Earle, and had even the most hard-boiled critic present rolling around on his ear. Of interest is the news that Frances Joan Jarrett and Beth Raborn were not cradled in jazz. One of them sang hymns in an Oklahoma choir, one of them studied hard at the piano, and the other sang only | when she was in the bath tub. Today, while they still look back on their classical training (including the bath tub) with pleasure, they are pleased | to be out in the world crooning and boop-a-dooping all over the place and proud that some one like Johnny Pay- ette discovered them and signed them for his theater. Watch for theml FISHERMEN ADRIFT Cutter Hunting Pair Is Forced to Anchor in Heavy Seas. BAYFIELD, Wis, April 16 (#).— The Coast Guard cutter Crawford, hunting two Minnesota fishermen adrift two days on Lake Superior, was forced to anchor off Rocky Island, 20 miles north of here, last night, after a day of fruitless searching along the south shore of the lake. The Crawford earlier in the day had picked up John Hansen, Little Ma- rais, Minn., fisherman, who was swept out into the lake by a raging north- west gale. Carl Huby and Christ Tuinglem, Thomasville fishermen, were feared lost. Coast Guardsmen said it was impossible for their small craft to ride the heavy seas. — LENTEN CONCERT. An interesting and well-performed Lenten concert was presented by the choir of the St. Nicholas' Russian Orthodox Church Sunday evening at the St. Thomas, Parish Hall. Under the direction of A, M.

The Roadside Theater is now or- ganizing its acting company. In ad- dition to many of last year's favorites the group will include other local actors. Open tryouts will be held Wednesday and Thursday evenings, April 24 and 25, at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church. Instead of the two separate groups, modeled along stock company lines, who last year alternated old-time mel- odramas with modern comedies, there will be but one official Roadside The- ater Company. Seven plays will be produced this Summer, one more than was donle the first season, and each play will be cast separately. Actors will be “signed up” for certain roles in certain plays.

Pan-American Celebration AMUSEME Ends With Special Concert United S'erv;ce Orchestra lnd Solo;sts vaide'd Excellent Program Last Evening—Many Countries Represented by Their Music. BY ALICE EVERSMAN, E celebration of Pan-American day concluded yesterday Service Orchestra, the direction of which was divided I with a concert at the Pan-American Union by the United between Lieut. Thomas Darcy of the United States Army Band Orchestra, Lieut. Charles Benter of the Navy Band Orchestra and Capt. ’I‘aylor Branson of the Marine Band Orchestra. Soloists for the occasion were Margarita Cueto, Mexican soprano, and Remo Bolognini, Argentina violinist. In the orchestra program outstand- ing composers of Ecuador, Argentina, Haiti, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Costa Rica and Mexico were represent- ed. Particularly interesting were the tone poem, “Ancient Mountain Legend,” by Justin Elie; the waltz, “Secretos,” by Luis Calvo; the rhap- sody, “La Rumba,” by Quinto Ma- ganini, and the suite of three Arau- canian songs, “Lamentations Huill ches,” by Carlos Lavin. The orchestra played with resonant tonal color and a well sustained rhythmic swing. The volume of tone, sometimes too great for the vibrant acoustics of the hall, was excellently modulated for the ac- companiment of Senora Cueto’s solo, “Nortena,” by Roples of Mexico, the only number accompanied by the orchestra. Senora Cueto, an experienced singer, used to pleasing her audience, is well | known here and received a warm wel- come on her appearance. Accompanied by George Wilson, she sang two groups of songs from her native country and from Cuba, Peru and Argentina. Her voice is powerful yet flexible, and she sang with an abandon and a warm flow of sentiment that charmed her listeners. Two movements of the violin “Son- ata,” by Floro Ugarte of Argentina, were the first offerings of Remo Bolog- nini, with Jessie Siegel at the piano. For a second group Mr. Bolognini played “Triste No. 2,” by Fabini of Uruguay, and “Aires Criollos, No. 2,” by Aguirre of Argentina. Last season Mr. Bolognini was heard in recital at the Carlton Hotel under the auspices of the International Art Forum and made a decided impression, which was confirmed by his excellent playing of last evening. A large tone and a smooth technique, plus a temperament that submits to artistic restraint, are 524.75 Pay $1 a Week 50 Years on F Street Sent toyou on 10DAYS FREE TRIAL THE POWERFUL NEW MODEL with MOTOR DRIVEN BRUSH LEARN HOW POWERFUL "MACHINE-ACTION" ELIMINATES TIRESOME “ARM-ACTION" omv $SA50 DOWN Balance in easy montbly payments COM BINATION 3 Cleumng Principles Combined SPECIAL OFFER!
