MELCEER. is definitely not ‘another “One Night of Love.” It is, however, an excellent musical film and one which should certainly be seen. the screen’s first nightingale, singing “Boheme"” In it Miss Grace Moore continues &s this time in- {nstead of “Butterfly"—and Michael Bartlett, a young man from Prince- ton who later learned his singing lessons in Italy, steps in and becomes at once a screen personality to be reckoned with. Then, with Leo Carrillo to do the acting and Luis Alberni skipping around tearing his hair, there is every reason why this picture may be enjoyed. ‘We have, however, one large, if un- important, question to ask Director Schertsinger. How in the name of common sense could he start off with such an opening scene? Did any one at Lake Placid ever behave that way? Would a rich, young, idle attractive| girl like Miss Moore be allowed to live if she ever sang an aria out of the| window while she was putting on her shirt> And would a bunch of Placid vacationists ever stop in the midst of their bob-sledding, tobogganing and whatnot to throw back Italian (it was Italian wasn't it?) at that balcony window? Ah, no—double no! That beginning is a weak imitation of | the never-to-be-forgotten balcony scene in “One Night of Love'—in| which a new peak was reached in a musical picture. It just doesn’t hap- pen to make sense, that's all The remainder of Miss Moore's new film is OK. Miss Moore is better Jooking than ever and in excellent vocal trim; Leo Carillo, as the big,| bad gambling man, loves her quietly | and almost dies for her—a situation | much to be desired;Robert Allen is| a good-looking young man who loves her, too—and Mr. Bartlett sings with all his heart and soul, and at one point might have stolen the picture if the sound men hadn't carefully seen | to it that his voice was suddenly al-| most exterminated. There is more “plot.” less charm and just as much singing in this sec- ond Moore film as there was in the | first. Our suspicion is that bad men and even a rather amusing hot-cha | number are not quite in keeping with | the star's temperament. and that the | straining for another “One Night of | Love" rather taxed the producers. Tt | is eagy, however, to say that a second | try isn't so good as the first—particu- larly when it is doubtful if there will ever be another “first.” The thing to remember is that the new picture at the Earle is something | to see—even if it is or isn't up to | the other. You still have Miss Moore --and that’s about twice as much as | you get in most other pictures—even | if Miss Moore's dramatic equipment is confined mostly to throwing her hands up over her head. With a voice like that she could throw her hands anywhere—and nobody would know the difference. o e JIGHLIGHTS of this week's stage show at the Earle include Cross and Dunn, two popular entertainers, who know just what the public wants and never fail to get enthusiastic acclaim. Mr. Cross, by the way, has a very fine voice, and Steve Evans, whose “‘Hollywood Snapshots” are | among the best—in fact, his act is a knockout. Other acts include Herbert, Lyne and Mitzi, acrobatic artists with Jjaws of steel, and Billy Wells and the Four Fays in an act that could be both better and worse. * JPUT all thought of Edgar Allan Poe out of your head when you go to see “The Raven” at R-K-O Keith's. | ‘The famous author, but for reference | to his “Pit and the Pendulum,” is quite out of the picture. However, the film is noteworthy for the fact that it presents the art of make-up at its height—Boris Karlof's half-with- ered face being one of those things that you will dream about long after | the picture has faded from sight. Mr. Karlof's excellently contrived “pan” and Bela Lugosi being an un- pleasant maniac who dotes on neat little tortures—such as putting two people in a room which gradually gets smaller and smaller and eventually crushes them to death—are at their best in this multiple horror story, | which combines almost every torture apparatus known to man. The audience is, however, so wrap- ped up with the various crime gadgets that it is apt to overlook the fact that it is meant to be frightened by them, too. Therein lies the fault of the film—although it definitely has its moments. These include Irene Ware's per- | sistent screams as things happen all | around her and she finds that her bed room has been built on an eleva- | tor and goes hither and yon and up and downstairs all over the house; | Mr. Lugosi's horrid operation on Karlof's face; and the pendulum | which swings over the head of Miss Ware's father. The players play their parts as though they had been genuinely frightened during the filming—some- 1hing which we can readily under- | stand. None of them are, however, particularly important except the two chief bad men. You'll like the team | of Karlof and Lugosi.

Miss Rainer's debut is the most important debut since Miss Hepburn upset the Hollywood apple-cart. She has been acclaimed from coast to | coast. A young lady with no definite beauty except two very large eyes and a bewildering smile, she has proved that quiet, just as effective as ranting all over the place. William Powell is splendid, too, and | so are Mady Christians, hefty Ger- | man star, and Virginia Bruce, who gets better looking every day. But it is little Miss Rainier who puts the film over the top.

Assisting Mr. Dix .n his debut in the gulopity mellers are such suave personages as Louis Cal- hern, whose subtle villainies terrorized the bystanders at “The Dark Tower”; Preston Foster, a bad man in a draw- ing room or on the range, and Miss Margot Grahame, an English night- ingale agreeably amiss in the aimos- phere of gunpowder, stud and raw red likker. Despite inerradicable marks of gen- tility on their brows, these four dis- guise themselves authentically for their sojourn among the cattle thieves and stage coach jobrries of an earlier day in the Ole Sovthwest.

A tougher tale than even its hard-boiled predecessors, this vignette of the Federal agents is ter- rifying at times, less generously sup- plied with the comedy ingenuity which marked “G-Men,’ “Public Hero No. 1” and “Let 'em Have It.” Except for occasional lapses into the sissy vernacular of love and | friendship, Paramount’s fabulist hewed closely to the line of swift and brutal drama, harrowing the soul with in- cidents in a determined young man's pursuit of a gang of ruthless killers.

SO I'M going out with Marion for the week end and won't be able to see you. ’BYy, Gene, end take care of vourself.” Anne placed the receiver back on the hook and stared at it thoughtfully. Gene didun't know what a decisive move this week end was, but she did When she had met Marion on the street today the vision that Marion made in her furs, her beautiful road- ster and the whiff of elegant per- fume that clung to her, Anne was acutely conscious of her own scuffed pumps and her Winter hat. It came rather as a surprice than that Marion had insisted that Anne come home with her in the evening and spend the week end with her. Well, Anne reflected, she was glad she had splurged and bought herself that new straw hat and that love of | & red dinner dress. After all, why shouldn’t she go other places and meet other men? * ok ok x Not that she wasn't very fond of Gene, Anne assured herself, but she was sick to death of saving her money and wondering when Gene would have enough, so they could be “defi- nite” and plan on really getting mar- ried. Maybe tonight she would meet some one. A honk from the same car brought her reflections to an end. Anne ad- justed her hat hurriedly, picked up her bag and ran out. Marion chattered on . . bits of gossip about mutual friends in school; who was married and who was going to be. “By the way, John Marshall’s going to be there tonight a little later, he said. He's coming for me. He's bringing a fellow from town for you, who works in the same office. I haven't met him yet. John mar- ried? Sure he is, but his wife's a dud. Don't look so shocked, darling. Haven't changed a bit, have you?” Anne protested that she wasn't a bit shocked. Yet she couldn't rid herself of a queer feeling of distaste. By the time they reached the house Anne was excited and anxious once more. Anne bathed luxuriously. Oh, for a wide, warm scented tub like this every day, instead of her hasty shower She brushed her hair till it shone, put on her make-up and slid the new red velvet over her head reverently. She did look pretty nice at that . “A spoiled darling rather than a poor woiking gal” . . she nodded gayly at herself in the mirror; then ran down stairs. The room was filled with blue cigarette smoke; there was the tinkle of ice in glasses and women’s high voices. Marion introduced Anne all around and then apparently forgot her. The man nearest Anne had been entertaining a group of people with his remarks; he turned to her suddenly. “Say, boys and girls,” he said, “look what we have here.” She couldn’t follow the conversa- tion very well. It seemed to be a choice bit of scandal about one of their contemporaries, for every once in a while the crowd would guffaw at the story and one of the girls . “Crowds like she was glad | ORT STORY would attempt to look arch and dis- | approving and say, “Charlie, you shouldn't talk about them that The room was growing warmer | and warmer and Anne was positive now that she didn't care for Charlie.

He was thickly muttering apologies and attempting | to dry the dress with his handker- chief. “Never mind,” Anne said sharply, and moved away. She stood at the foot of the stairs trembling with anger and disappointment. Now she'd have to go up and put on her old blue dress. Marion stopped her. “I wonder what's keeping John and the friend he was bringing you. They should | be here any minute. Oh, Anne, your nice dress. Did Charlie do that? The clumsy thing!” * x x x Marion was flushed and her voice was high. Anne moved away up the stair and looked at her dress,, It certainly was wrecked. She ex- changed it for her blue gown, at- tempted to repowder her nose and longed desperately for an aspirin. She was conscious of a draft of cold air in the front hall and people calling greetings. She didn't care about having to wear her old blue dress. Marshall's friend was prob- ably—she stopped suddenly. Mar- shall's friend was standing at the foot of the stairs grinning up at her. “Hi, Anne. Surprised? You didn’t give me a chance when you called to tell you I was coming out here myself a little later. Aryway, I fig- ured you and Marion could have a visit on the way out.” “Gene! Gene, darling—I'm so glad to see you—you don’t know—you can’t possibly—— How did you hap- pen to be such a friend of this Mar- shall that Marion is raving about? I don’t think I would care an awful 1ot for him.” “Come on and finish this dance and we can talk. Marshall's all right—no particular friend of mine; but I knew he was coming out here and he wanted a date for a girl Marion was driving out from town with her today, and, knowing darn well who the girl was, I couldn’t let him get another guy, could I?

Harlow Will be Approached by Producers. BY MOLLIE OLLYWOOD. July 13 has always managed to be. Complaints that the legitimate stage needs names and vehicles come thick | and fast from those connected with it. Norma Shearer, Constance Bennett, Jean Harlow are three who will be approached by legitimate producers interested in the Culver City lot. None | of them has ever had stage experi- | ence. Norma Shearer once told me she didn’t hanker for any, but she may | have changed her mind by this time. | Myrna Loy would be the greatest | box-office asset a New York producer could have next Winter. She is the picture rage of the country, popular the lit- | erati, the cognoscenti, the man in the street who pays for his ticket, and the critic who gets his for nothing. She once appeared with a Fanchon & | Marco revue, but not in a starring way. She was “support,” as I under- stand it, so a return to the footlights might not be as much of a change to her as to some of the others. Joan Crawford turns her eyes to a stage venture with great friendliness. Friend Franchot Tone is of the stage. And Joan Crawford has a hunger | | for experience that is most interest- ing. She'd like to try the different audience and is game enough to take the consequences, whatever they’ll be. Franchot Tone takes a singing les- | son every day and warbles opera | numbers, so there is another angle of | change not to be ignored. Well, if | there is to be a general change, lovely Gladys Swarthout is beautiful enough to take over Joan Crawford's place‘ as a comedienne and sylphlike and | chic enough to make the role the delight it should be for a Crawford | audience. | ‘The Lawrence bbettses. established | in Beverly Hills in the Tito Schipa house, already are as much at home as if they'd been there a season in- | stead of a few days. About the swim- ming pool gather gay groups, includ- ing the Basil Rathbones, the Chap- mans (Gladys Swarthout and her husband), sun-bronzed Gloria Swan- son, who loves the outdoors; Zelle Kingsley (a house guest from New ‘York), and a coterie of other notables, all cronies through the years. It is the first season in Hollywood for Jane Tibbett, a beauty of the | brunette type, slim and with sparkling personality, and she bids fair to be | one of the fabulous town's favorites. Janet Gaynor gets one of her most intriguing roles as the peppery little canal-boat cook in “The Farmer Takes a Wife” It shows the star, who has | had a long record of ingenue roles, in a new light, and she’s well able to handle it. It also gives us our initial glimpse of a new young man who promises to become one of the high lights of the screen.
