AMUSEMENTS. . Shakespeare’s “Juliet” On Stage at Fox Theater Eva LeGallienne, on a Verona Baleony, Makes Decided Hit With Audience—Charlie Chan on Screen—“No Moré Ladies” at Palace. BY E. de S. MELCHER. ELIEVE it or nlgt, tsltzekespglre has the jumj Chan this week a w’'s Fox. B scene from “Romeo and Juliet,” which follows acrobats, dancers and the aforementioned Mr. Gallienne and Donald Cameron Shakespeare lives today even on theater. While some of the audience was frankly restless when Miss Le Galli- enne climbed to her perch on that Verona balcony and leaned out into s warm Loew's Fox night, this, we think, was due mostly to the sudden and dramatic change which comes naturally when poetic speech follows the comic gyrations of a iumbling act—and even as good as that tum- bling and clowning act was, it must have been surprised to hear Mr. Shakespeare come walking in on its heels. Miss Le Gallienne’s Juliet is, of course, well known. It is a clear and attractive portrait that she presents, more human than most Juliets, if not quite so lyric as Miss Cornell’s. She is - supported ably by Mr. Cameron, ‘who has appeared with the star in the same capacity before Both must have been well pleased at their 1ecep- tion, “Charlie Chan in Egypt,” the screen feature, is built on a familiar tormula that allows Mr. Chan to be anywhere. Altrough we suspect it hasn’t the punch of some of the preceding chap- ters in the life of this amiable sleuth, the picture is n2iped immeasurably by the presence of Stepin Fetchit, whose sluggish maneuvers are, of course, well known. Mr. Ckan (Warner Oland) and Fetchit become involved in a Luxor, Egypt, murder series which brings in a weird assortment of butlers, violins, mummies, lovers and poisons. The murderer is the man you least expect. Mr. Oland nabs his victim with easy and oily grace and as the curtain falls the herome is pretty sure that she has gottea her man, too. Satisfactory if you are a Chan fan—but by no means ove of the best. Other than Miss Le Gallienne’s Juliet, the stage snow includes Larry Rich, minus a great many pounds and still apparently as popular as he was in England, where of late he has been something of a favorite, plus Larry Rich, jr., and company; Johnny Lee and the Three Lees in that pre- Shakespeare tumbling act which we JUSTICE MEN BACK FOR ANOTHER WEEK #Public Hero No. 1” in Return Downtown Engagement at the Columbia. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s climax to the current trilogy of G-men films has earned a return week here at Loew's Columbia, where the liveliest of the tommy-gun tales for tiny tots reopened yesterday under the name of “Public Hero No. 1.” Partially derived from recognizable newspaper accounts of the recent antics among the Nation’s bad boys, this brisk melodrama, nevertheless, boasts one of the most ingenious plots in the entire gangster series, including those documents recorded before justice agents supplanted the beer barons in all hero roles. The San Quentin riots, wherein some meanies pulled a whole pardon board away from luncheon porridge and used the members as hostages, is lifted neatly from news type and transplanted excitingly into celluloid. ‘The story’s biggest and best murder is a brighter rendition of the Dillinger swan song, and there is a furious lead-slinging episode at a road house. These substantial thrills notwith- standing, the most effective moments in the film are the original contri- butions of a script writer's brain. ‘They consist of some novel twists so valuable in the element of that we hesitate to discuss the matter further for fear of spoiling your fun. Lionel Barrymore, apparently re- lieved not to be burdened with the dignities of great characterizations, simply romps through the role of a drunken doctor who has fallen on evil days and worse patients, joining Miss Jean Arthur in interjecting a bright episode here and there along the grim procession of events. Chester Morris and Joseph Calleia take care of most of the big blasting stuff, While Paul Kelly, Lewis Stone and Sam Baker toss in expert bits. The Columbia program also features short subjects and a comedy. R. B. P, Jr. GIRL TO WOODRINGS !Dlug‘hter Born to Wife of Assist- ;) ant Secretary. ‘A 6-pound girl was born yesterday fo Mrs. Harry H. Woodring, wife of the Assistant Secretary of War, while Woodring was in Fort Leavenworth, XKans., to address the graduating class at the Command and General Staff School. Before her marriags Mrs. Woodring ‘was Miss Helen Coolidge, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Marcus A. Coolidge ©f Massachusetts. The Woodrings also kave a vear-old #on, Marcus Coolidge Woodring.

And why wouldn’t it be with Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery, Franchot Tone, Edna May Oliver, Charles Ruggles and a man named Arthur Treacher in the leading roles? Any one of these could carry a whole show practically alone on his shoulders. And when the whole bunch gets together in a lightweight comedy of this nature, there is every reason why the Palace should throw care to the winds and welcome each new capacity audience with an Angie Ratto grin. ‘The story and the somewhat doubt- ful philosophy in “No More Ladies” don't matter. You've seen and heard them before—sometimes better, some- times worse. What counts is the spirit of nonsence and good fun that pops up in the middle of what is primarily a serious situation—a young woman married to a man who con- tinues to be a bounder. When, therefore, Mr. Montzomery (the husband and bounder) has an affair with Gail Fatrick, you are im- mediately asked to forget that in a wild and wooly bridge game, a dance, an orgy, a semi-elopement which Miss Crawford stages with Tone, a battle with the bottle staged by Ruggles and a series of Edna May Oliver remarks which are swift, acia and funny. As in the case of “Forsakmng All Others,” nothing ‘s to be taken seri- ously. Miss Crawford is more natural before the camera than she has been in a long time; Montgcmery plays his bounder role with good will; Tone has a few satisfactory but not by any means brilliant moments; Edna May Oliver has a nice fat part, and that Britisher, Treacner, ccmes in for a minute and just abou’ steals the show. Members of the Broadway cast play the lesser roles.

ANNUAL RECITAL. Students of the Lou Langlotz School of Dancing were presented last night at Plerce Hall in their annual recital. The 24 group and solo numbers on the program included dance types ranging from tap, toe and ballet ex- hibitions to character and interpreta- tive dancing. The revue was staged with simplic- ity, yet was a thoroughly entertaining recital of the students’ progress. A baby number featured 3-year-olds, while the older groups presented orig- inal musical comedy and Spanish numbers. Musical accompaniments were furnished by Mrs. Eva M. Col- bert, pianist, and members of George Gaul's Orchestra. The orchestra also played for the dance which followed the revue. Jim McGrath of local radio renown acted as master of ceremonies, introducing the varied members in the recital. Among the performers, Mary Jane Wyble's tap dancing and Peggy Owens’ stood out and Mary Palermo, Ger- trude Gibbons, Patricia Whittaker, Catherine Messerly, Elaine English, Marian Norris and Gona Blumberg were others who performed expertly.

There’s not much point to the farcical tale, but it skips along from difficulty to difficulty and from laugh to laugh and then suddenly it's over and you real- ize you've had a good time with no effort at all It is a happy story which places no strain upon the onlookers. Miss Bo- land and Mr. Ruggles at the outset are the town’s ideal married couple. Their daughter leaves her husband because he has danced not wisely, but too frequently, with a possible third corner of a triangle on his first wed- ding anniversary. Mama Boland then has one of her own individual bright ideas. She and hubby will feign a fight to make daughter and son-in-law see the light of day, which would be all right but for the fact that Mama discovers she can't take some of Papa Ruggles’ contribution to the sham battle. Then Papa gets mixed up—innocently, but he could never prove it—with the same lassie who caused the original trouble, and things take a decided turn to- ward lunacy. Especially recommended are any scenes wherein Miss Boland is hav- ing a disastrous idea; the laughably pathetic interlude when she leaves her husband alone and sleeps in the guest room; Mr. Ruggles’ getting caught in the cloak room with the “other woman”; Mr. Ruggles almost knocking himself out in a battle with non-existent thugs to prove to his wife he loves her, and a crazy bur- lesque of a wrestling match. In fact, Miss Boland and Mr. Ruggles can be recommended at almost any point in their appearances. Able support is given by Leila Hyams, by Dean Jagger, who in the past has been exiled to playing oppo- site girls Paramount was screen test- ing, who was good in “Car 99” and better in this, and who should improve with his opportunities, and by Ru- thelma Stevens, as the cause of the misunderstanding. Alfred Santell di- rected. The Metropolitan’s bill also includes the tenth release in the “See America First” series, titled Maine,” which seems to be the best, so0 far, in the group.

RIVET TOQSSERS ARE NEWEST of Bridge Builders at the Earle This W eek. In their search for new worlds to tell stories about, the film people have hit upon the Travelers’ Aid Societies, agents of sweet charity to the wrecks, strays and castaways of this world. Refurbishing the melodrama of bridge building and labor wars, the producers of “Stranded” have combined the two factors into a human, deft and thoroughly satisfactory program pic- ture which carries about 90 per cent of the weight on the Earle Theater bill this week. 8ince most people are scared cross- eared if they have to walk around any higher than a first balcony with- out ropes to support them, the pro- tographic angles naturally developed in a story of steel workers has a cer- tain inherent drama. A1l the juice is squeezed out of that fruity offering in “Stranded,” the cameramen ap- parently following rivet slingers around with avid anticipation every time they walked a beam or looked down to see how things were going on the lower level. The boss in charge of all this elevated horror is George Brent, foreman of a vast suspension bridge job and somewhat plagued by labor agitatiors operating what is known in. the polite terminology of racketeering as a ‘“protective asso- { ciation.” Although you and you wouldn’t dare climb so high without a parachute and a guaranteeed elevator, the acrobats on this job seem to be victims of firewater, imbibing freely without much urging and thereafter tottering around the brink of destruction in an amiable coma. Those games, of course, are ruinous to morale and the business. Hard-hitting Mr. Brent attempts to break it up, and he gets into a lot of trouble. The Traveler's Aid, which is pulled in by a backhand stroke through Miss Kay Francis’ association with its offices, finally has to step up and help him, too. At first convinced that bums are bums and that rehabilitation is a sissie’s game, Mr. Brent is made to see the error of his notions, to admit that his girl knows more about people than he does. That confession brings the tale to & close with every one full of perfect understanding after Miss Francis has saved the day and proved to some decidedly rough strikers that they were being victimized by bad boys who meant them no good. There is some handy fist and knife fighting interjected here and there along this march of events and the comedy is relatively fresh. Both Miss Francis and Brent are, in fact, accomplished romantic comedians—whatever that is. The other, or stage, half of the Earle schedule this week is rather lukewarm. Dorothy Crooker opens with a dance act which eventually turns into a marathon with the audi- ence—the latter losing ground all the time—although it must be admitted that her balance dance and the con- tortionist writhings of a certain young man in the troupe earn the applause they get. You will make a great mistake if you run before waiting to hear more when we tell you that the second act consists of some imitations of stage, screen and radio stars. Everyone owns a backyard full of mimics these days, but Jerry Mann nevertheless managed to stop the first show yes- terday with his numbers. He is like- able, even if you've heard it all be- fore. ‘The feature spot is devoted to Hal Kemp's band, which renders nice music but has nothing especially stirring to offer in the way of vaude- ville. The novelty numbers by a corpulent saxaphonist were perhaps the best. There is also a technicolor short. R. B. P, jr.

MERRICK. OLLYWOOD, Calif., June 22 (N.AN.A.).—When Tennyson’s poem, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” comes to the screen, it will have an all-English cast, according to present plans, and a new name. ‘Warners are now considering “Charge of the 600” and “Into the Jaws of Death,” as possible titles. So far the British cast includes Leslie Howard, Ian Hunter and Errol Flynn, with the possibility of Madeline Carroll being bor- rowed to play Florence Nightingale, the feminine lead in the pic- ture. Most of the research work on this film, which won't begin for five months, will be made in England with the aid of the studio’s British office. Part of this exiensive research and preparation is due t> the fact that Hollywood producers always try to have their films 25 nearly periect as they can be, and some of it may be traced to the finaacial statistics re- cently announced at a Hollywood film convention. For every dollar, 1% seems, that a picture makes in the domestic market, & studio can figure on 50 cents when | the film is released in a foreign coun- try. If the picture deals with a story particularly interesting to a country, the financial returns will be that much better So you can understand that 8 picture dealing with the Crimean ‘War and glorifyiag an English heroine will be worth plenty when released throughout the British Empire. Ard speaking of Fiorence Nightin- gale recalls the fact that this great woman seemed destined to be por- trayed on the screen this year. Wasn't it M-G-M that planned a film called few months ago and his instant suc- cess in fllms sre now part of the record. Henry Fonda, an Omaha boy, came straight from the New York stage version of the play in which he makes his movie debut, and, although under contract to Walter Wanger, was loaned to Fox to appear in the celluloid pro- duction of the play. When Max Rinehart makes “Green Pastures” it may be a colored film in more than one sense. The German director may make it in colors. This is doubtless inspired by the enthu- siastic reception that “Becky Sharp” got when it was shown simultane- ously in Hollywood and New York.

The two most talked about new | lezding men in Hoilywood today are Michael Bartlett and Henry Fonda. The former, so far as preview audi- | ences are concerned, steals Grace Moore's new picture completely, and Fonds manages to get the 1aves in| the Janet Gaynor film, “The Farmer Takes & Wife,” in which he appears. Bartlett originally cume to Holly- wood with a Fox contract and had his | first name, Edwin, changed to “Mike.” Just as he was aJout to break’forth in 30ng, the movies 1ealized that singing pictures were not & success (dve to the manner in which they were pre- sented in those davs) and Bartlett left town without having made a film appearance. His return to the cinema viliage a BARTH CONCERT. The Hans Barth concert which took place at National Women’'s Country Club Sunday, June 16, scored an- other signal success for Mr. Barth. In his inimitable style he charmed his audience with high reaches of impassioned performance in such compositions as “C Sharp Minor Etude” of Chopin and the Brahms “Theme and Variations” and also in interesting digressions into the most poised and delicate execution of the “Mozart Minuet” and his own delightful “Grandmother's Music Box” and “Vevery.” His interpolated de- scriptions told of the “Galuppi Sonata,” written in 1730, and until Sunday unplayed in this country, also another first performance being the composition by the modern composer, Gretchnaninoff, the “Sonata in G Minor,” until recently unpublished. His anecdotes of Chopin and Brahms added a touch of wit and the clever arrangement of his program. In this recital Mr. Barth has added scores to his already large list of friends and admirers, musicians and laymen, in the art. AMUSEMENTS. THE USUAL BIG TIME AT 230 AM. 70 SWI 30 RMm.
