B—14 Two Stronge AMUSEMENTS. st Pictures Here Entirely Dissimilar Vary From Sublime Heroics of an Old Man to the Raucous Melodrama in “China Seas.” BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. into the role. F REQUENTLY when a dramatist sets out to depict the character of a comic bore, he ends up by writing many more yawns than laughs Unlike the novelist, whose audience may skip & few pages if wearied by some individual or sequence of events, ‘the playwright must beware lest the sound of his pest’s voice hum the cash customers to sleep. It is therefore all the more re-& markable that Sir Guy Standing was | able to make a valiant and intriguing hero out of a long-winded old gaffer in “Annapolis Farewell” the Para- mount film about the United States Naval Academy, which settled down | for a week at the Earle yesterday after | receiving a brass band premiere | Thursday night at the Metropolitan. | Sir Guy manages this feat without any | apparent aid of wires, mirrors or oversized sleeves, vet it is really &/ bit of magic. man on earth can be so irritating as a retired warrior, forever bent upon recounting his military And that is the essence of Commodore Fitzhugh, simultaneously the hero and the drone of “Annapolis Farewell.” He is more rife with quotations, forti- fications and remeniscence than Tris- tam Shandy's Uncle Toby, and that about tells the story. * kK ok 'HE entire thesis of “Annapolis Farewell” is far more grave than of its predecessors dealing with the life of our midshipmen. It upholds the ideals of loyalty and self-sacrifice which are meant to be the prime principles of an officer and a gentle- man, and it is not in the least shame- faced about the plain sentimentality of its closing scenes. Following on the heels of so many stories treating the academy and the Navy as if both were kindergartens for handsome clowns, that attitude proves entirely refreshing. So does | the shifting of emphasis from out- worn romantic situations to the more interesting problems of character de- velopment in the future admirals. ‘There is a large and literate group ©of persons who hold that all the tra- | ditions and discipline of military serv- | dce are designed merely to delude men into believing they are doing some- thing exalted when they stick their necks out in front of the enemy can- non. By regarding ““Annapolis Fare- well” more or less seriously, we do not mean to enter into debate with that faction, but merely to convey Rhe notion that, granted the original premise, the picture makes out a| stirring case for itself. This cinema is not by any means limited to lectures, examples of sweet- ness and light or exhibition drilis. It encompasses some snorty juvenile comedy, handled by Richard Crom- well, Tom Brown and Benny Baker, and Rosalind Keith appears briefly to inspire the old Commodore to trip the light fantastic again at a June week ball. Like every other incident wherein he is concerned, the ball is ell the Commodore’s. Sir Guy never attempts to escape the impression that he is drawing a sententious old fogey, but you can’t help liking him. When he dies an ever-so-gallant death, the weeping begins. Ak o ok INCE it has become a tradition that nine-tenths of the colored roles in filmdom are to be well over- For undoubtedly no| adventures. | | done, Louise Beavers cannot be blamed for her work as Sir Guy's house- keeper. John Howard turns in really the best juvenile workout in the lot as Tom Brown's older brother. Alex- ander Hall directed. The Earle stage show this week has the Texas Mustangs, a large whoop and holler band unit with nu- | merous entertainers, and two other | acts to supplement the headliners. These are Charles Carier, and the Three Wiere Brothers. ‘The favorite Summer sport of the District’s voteless movie fans these days is balloting on the performances given by Jean Harlow, Clark (Toots) Gable, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone and Robert Benchley in “China Seas” at Loew’s Palace. The poll waxed even hotter yesterday as this roaring melodrama went into its second v-eek, with “Toots” still leading, Lewis Stone the runner-up and Herr Benchley running dead last. Having picked Mr. Benchley after careful study of the form sheet, we were gratified once again to have our judgment vindi- cated. “China Seas” is full of pirates, ship- ments of gold (presumably pleces of eight), typhoons, monsoons, love (sa- cred and profane—take your choice, | Toots preferring you know what) and torture, the latter effected by a gadget called the Chinese boot, which is not a kick in the pants but a little nov- elty designed to mash feet into so much hamburger. Rosalind Russell plays an aristocratic English girl who chases Mr. Gable thousands of miles and is just about to get him when he breaks down and admits his true love is Shanghai Lil, or whatever title Miss Harlow flaunts. If you can find any good reason for this, either on the basis of their respective perform- ances as actresses or on their per- sonal merits, you're welcome to write a letter to the London Times about it. Maybe it was the fact Miss Russell never called Capt. Gable “Toots.” In the meantime you'll be amused while waiting to make up your mind, for the film is never without action and you | can always get a laugh with or at it. We still think Mr. Benchley's re- mark about the butterflies the classic line of 1935. A host of local talent has been gathered together to take part in the floor show on the Gold Cup Showboat Cruise next Monday night. The cruise is for the benefit of the President's Cup regatta fund. Jack Mullane is to be master of ceremonies for the show and will present Joe Bellguitarist, who was prominent in the “Going Native” revue; Margaret Shaw, soprano; Toma Genaro, who also was in the home talent vaudeville show; Melissa Mc- Lean, master of the piano-accordion; Joan Marr, singer; Lucille Linden, dancer, and Peggy Hudson, a chanter of the blues. LINDBERGH SILENT ON CLIPPER TESTS Takes 50-Passenger Flying Boat Aloft at Baltimore for Ex- perimental Flights. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, August 24. — Col. Charles A. Lindbergh took the four- motored, 50-passenger Flying Clipper No. 7 aloft for test flights yesterday, but whether or not he was pleased with the huge airplane he did not say. ‘The noted flyer sat at the controls for about half an hour as the plane roared over Middle River at the Glenn L. Martin plant. The craft was built there for the Pan-American Airways trans-Pacific service. Col. Lindbergh, technical adviser to Pan-American, left the take-off and landing to Capt. Edwin C.

He always has had superb faith in this actress, who is now under contract for three years to the New York Theater title, “Welcome Home,” as meaning | for the week offers a concrete example of the kick those who are in the habit | of shopping around unguided get once in a while on their movie menus. “Welcome Home" is not the Holly- | wood epic of the year, and your edu- cation will not be neglected if you don't see it, but a better type of good, | amusing cinema that can yank bar- rels of fun from the commonplace events of present-day America has not | been around the Capital's theaters all Summer. | Accepting the fact that it attempts to do no more than afford two hours’ entertainment, the vehicle Fox Films wisely puts in the bands of Jimmy Dunn, Arline Judge, Ravmond Wal- burn and William Frawley is tops in anybody’s flicker palace. This quartet of get-rich-quick swin- dlers, whose various occupations em- brace backing the ponies. extracting gold fillings from bridgework and sell- ing ofl bonds, lands in Elmdale, a two- horse village that has already been taken for a $10,000 ride by the pre- mier bogus bond salesman, Raymond ‘Walburn, whose monicker is “Giit- | edge.” Posing as financiers and reetment] advisers, they get in and out of more jams in 24 hours than Fourteenth| street and Pennsylvania avenue has in as many days. As a home town boy, returned after 10 years' absence, Mr.| Dunn gets hooked by a corn-fed village lass and the Chamber of Commerce | into & spot where he either has to/ resell the no good oil stock dumped on the town by his cohort or lose his new reputation as a financial adviser. The town is daffy at the time be- cause & former resident, a millionaire, is being expected on every train. Charles Sellers, the money man, ar-| rives & day late, to throw a wrench into the reception planned for him, with the idea of having the old codger build & factory to put Elmdale on the map. Versatile Mr. Dunn later finds him yodeling like & sea lion in his boy- hood swimming hole, the main reason for his return to the village, and the tricky Mr. Walburn trims the magnate for $38,000 at the shell game, while talking him into building the factory for Elmdale, to dodge a near necktie | party, hurriedly arranged for the four swindlers when the townspeople get the mistaken idea they have bumped off the old man. Willlam Frawley, as a counterfeit dentist, who makes a living by extract- ing the gold from all the teeth he can get his hands on; and Arline Judge, as the feminine foil for the three swin- dlers, hold up their end of the piece to match the maneuvers of Messrs. Dunn and Walburn. ‘The dialogue is bright and snappy, the situations are genuinely amusing and the whole concoction is thor- oughly enjoyable. In addition, it’s family entertainment that even 10- year-old Johnnie can be exposed to and enjoy. A comedy and the usual newsreel also are offered. M. W.

Edward Bowes' Sun- day evening radio entertainments seem to thrive in abundance around these parts. Yesterday they thronged | the Fox, filled the place soon after the first show had started, and there- upon set up good, rousing cheers for each and every one of the participants in the major'’s amateur show, current Fox stage attraction, These newcomers to the stage— they’re not really amateurs any more— seem to be familiar to their audience from their single appearances on the major's radio program. Each of them is accorded a rousing reception at the moment of Gong-Ringer Jack Squires’ introduction, before they sing All of them live up to the expecta- tions aroused by their radio fans’ re- ception, too. There is not a per- former on the program who does not just about stop the show. It's great fun to watch this parade of young- sters whose talent is backed up by a fresh enthusiasm and an ambition | which overcomes whatever lack of stage presence they may display. You'll like them all— Clarence Browning, the Richmond hillbilly; Jo- | seph Sheehan, baritone trom George Washington University; the Original One-Man Band, a chap who is kept extremely busy by “Tiger Rag”; the Stauffer Twins, two blond lasses who know their harmony; Mrs. Margerite Ryan; the Gold Medal Sax Trio; Luzler and Sloma, violin and accor- dion duo; Paul Regan, an adept imi- tator; Marjorie Dare, a singer with a very smooth voice; Albert Hall, the human piccolo; Joe Beckler, singer, and Sol Strasser, the Polish Caruso. Phil Lampkin precedes the stage | presentation with his “Three-in-One"” | overture, & new idea, he says, in such businesses. Five soloists are featured. “Woman Wanted” is the screen at- | traction and it has nothing to do with | the help-wanted columns nor with & fellow wanting a girl. It has to do with the law wanting a woman, and the combined thrills of the law’s en- thusiastic chase after her and her equally enthusiastic attempts to stay free make very good entertainment. It is all hokum, and occasionally fantastic hokum at that, but it is very skillfully done. There can be no doubt that it is exciting and that it gets a hold on its audience. At the first show yesterday the good people almost stood up and cheered when that fast police boat loaded with straight-shootin’ coppers hove into view to save the day and the gal. “Women Wanted” has poor Mau- reen O'Sullivan all mixed uyp with break away from her jailors in an auto crash maneuvered by the gun- men, dashing right into the ready wildest adventures on record while they are trying to prove Maureen's innocence. If you will just sit there and relax, not taking things too seri- ously, you will enjoy yourself. There's some good comedy by-play. ‘The film is sincerely played by Miss O'Sullivan, Mr. McRae, Lewis Stone, Adrienne Ames, Robert Grieg (you'll split a side at his gentleman’s gentle- man), Edgar Kennedy, Louis Calhern and others.

MART GIRL,” Paramount film, which yesterday was installed at the Metropolitan, is a passable com- edy, made enjoyable because of the mad antics of dialectician Joseph Cawthorn, and the invigorating pres- ence of Ida Lupino. The tale is a mad one about a couple of rich girls who are not rich any longer after their father fails in busi- ness and puts himself out of misery. One of them (Gail Patrick) marries | Kent Taylar, who is a nice chap and does not deserve this, while the other, Miss Lupino, gets a job with Hat- maker Cawthorn and stays in love with Taylor. Miss Patrick finally gets her hus- band mixed up in a fake stock busi- ness; herself mixed up romantically with the promoter, and Miss Lupino gets her boss mixed up in the ofl| stock gag and into the toils of the | Department of Justice, trying to save Mr. Taylor. and making a handsome proft in oil, while Kent and Ida are merry allies. Of course, it does not amount to two whoops up a leaky rain barrel, but it's funny and Director Aubrey Scotto has not let the pace lag once. The film starts out inanely and ends | just the same way, with the hour or | 50 in between filled, for the most pnrt with merry gags. Joseph Cawthorn, as was hinted up in the top paragraph, is the chief promulgator of the humor. He gets the English language in such tangles as no one else can. Miss Lupino, though the piece is a farce, which in the main just calls for snappy reading of the lines, has an opportunity to do some acting in the 1476 Voyage Reported. In Columbus’s day there was a tradition of a Norse voyage to Labra- | dor in 1476. AMUSEMENTS. FOUR SHOWS TODAY. DOORS OPEN, 10:15—FEATURE, 10:30.
