B—14 AMUSEMENTS. Bright Comedy Added To Local Film Menu Ernest Cossart Steals “Accent on Yout Garbo and “Page Miss Glory” Play Second Weeks. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. AMSON RAPHAELSON is known around Broadway as s fellow who S can write comedies suave as cold creari. His “Accent on Youth” was a hit in New York last season, and now the Earle Theater offers it in cinematic form to Washingtonians who didn’t tour the show houses of the metropolis. The theme of Raphaelson's musings was the possibility of a successful romance between a middle-aged and charming bachelor and & girl more than two decades his junior.s In order to give this situation great | point, Paramount cast Herbert Mar- | shall as the faintly graying play- wright Steven Gaye. Mr. Marshall’s quiet appeal will last him until he is | past his threescore and ten, and conse- quently it seems highly plausible when his young secretary, Linda Brown (Sylvia Sidney), falls in love with him. After three years of jotting down his vagrant, witty thoughts and ob- serving his general deportment, she decides that all other men, particu- larly athletic college graduates, are uncouth animals. When Gaye dis- charges her, she can't help blurting out how she feels about him, and their relationship quickly takes on a new aspect. Nevertheless things go awry because & persistent and muscle-bound youth | pursues pretty Linda and, catching | her in a weak moment, delivers a few kisses which remind her of some | of Gaye's lines to the effect that “the call of youth to youth is too strong to be resisted.” She goes bounding off into matrimony with this per- petual sophomore and stays with him Jjust five months, missing tennis balls, swimming in cold pools at dawn, ex- cavating golf courses and watching | him slap the backs of his pals Butch and Chuck. Then she gives up. The grave question of marriage out of one's own generation gets a specific rather than a general treatment in | *Accent on Youth,” as the two per- sons involved were clearly not ordi- nary persons. None of it i3, in fact, regarded very seriously, the discrep- ancy in ages providing merely an excuse for some clever manipulation. In its early stages the picture lacks pace (and elther the projector at the Earle was not in best fettle yesterday or there were some terribly lighted scenes toward the beginning), but | that fault is remedied the instant a certain barrel-shaped performer takes hold of his part. He is Ernest Cos- sart, cast in the juicy role of Gaye's astounding man servant Flogdell, and it is our guess that Mr. Cossart winds | up at the head of the class when | acting honors are totaled. Herbert Marshall reads his part with sure skill, while Miss Sidney shines in various comedy moments. At most other intervals she looks as if she ha® bitten a grecn pemmmon | To do otherwise would be telling on | the same combination. | still faithful in spirit to the original. | | Phillip Reed is quite satisfactory as {the young man with the Princeton past and the bounce in his soul. * % kX Ted Weems and his"orchestra head- line the Earle stage bill this week. The Weems’ Band needs no intro- duction to radio listeners, victrola addicts or habitues of the better night spots during the past decade, but for some odd ‘reason he has de- cided not to do much straight playing when inhabiting the vaudeville stage. Instead, there insue innumerable vo- calizations of various pieces with the exceedingly competent musicians shoved into the background. In the name of sweet charity it is best to let these singers pass unidentified. them. A hefty chap, named Red Engle, is the only one to distinguish himself, his “Solo on the E String” and the “Wreck of Old 97" accom- paniment being first-rate comedy. The audience also seemed to like a Harlem style dance number. Weems' Band is a delight to hear, but it gets small chance to prove it on this program. The Earle bill includes a splendid | rendition of “Auf Wiedersehen” by Bert Granoff and Freddie Clark's or- chestra, and “Indian Love Call” by * K X % 1 “Anna Karenina” began a second week at Loew's Palace yesterday. In this version of the Tolstoi nove: every- thing has been sheared away but the love story and its attendant implica- tions of social criticism. The job is performed, however, with skill and discretion, and the cinema emerges Tragedy growing out of a situation that could have been solved satis- factorily by divorce loses some of its impact before modern audiences, but Greta Garbo's undeniable powers as a tragedienne, Clarence Brown’s skill- ful direction (except for a few unim- portant lapses) and the spectacular beauty of its setting in Czarist Russia conspire to lift “Anna Karenina™ into | the “must” class for thoughtful film- | goers. | Fredric March is more of a hin- | drance than a help as Anna's lover, | playing the role with all the fire and versatility of a cigar store Indian, but lesser parts are ably filled by Basil Rathbone, Preddie Bartholomew, Regi- DAILY SHORT STORY- | “the play's the thing?” |a tale which no doubt became tired | | Hat” just about the best musical film | | which ever hit this town? | taken identity gag. but, believe it or | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, P. C, nald Owen, Maureen O'Sullivan and others. There is a mazurka scene which as & spectacle alone would be worth the price of admission. The climax, while melodramatic in a sense, also comes within the definitions of true tragedy, for it certainly arouses the emotions of pity and horror. * ok k% Undoubtedly the best farceurs in Hollywood hang up their hats at the Warner Bros.' studios. With Allen Jenkins, Frank McHugh, Pat O'Brien, Guy Kibbee, Joan Blondell, Glenda Farreli and others available in the ‘Warner stock company, it is easy as rolling off a log to toss a script to- gether and munufacture sure-fire laughs. In the instance of “Page Miss Giory,” which returned to the Metro- politan yesterday, the Messrs. Warner also fortified themselves with a dafly stage success anent the beauty con- test racket, and employed the first three comedians named above to sup- port Marion Davies in a starring role. Dick Powell, the leading male canary of the W. B. lot, was also granted a small if romantic piece of the story which deals with two ambitious pro- moters who manufacture a beauty winner by pasting a lot of fine fea- tures into a composite photograph. Called upon to produce their orchid girl in the flesh for radio, newspapers and stage, they are in @ tight spot until Miss Davies happens along and turns out to be practically a twin sis- ter of their Dawn Giory. ‘There are a lot of laughs pitched around in this scramble before it winds up on a high note of undying love. The three comics are effective and Mary Astor, Lyle Talbot and | Patsy Kelly assist. The Met features an extensive short subject list every week. “TOP HAT" BUILDS HIGH ON FRAILEST OF PLOTS| | Astaire and Rogers Continue to Give Dance Luster to Screen at Keith's.

He is the first reason for the gen- eral excellence of “Top Hat.” other reasons, in order of their im- portance, being the Irving Berlin musical score, the sprightly manner in which the light comedy which car- ries from dance to dance is directed and played and Ginger Rogers.

ANTE'S INFERNO,” which opened yesterday at Loew’s Fox, is supposed to be, ac- cording to advance pub- licity, the “most discussed film of the year,” but there is only one sequenc: in the dreary length of the episodic melodrama which should call for more than cursory inspection. This is the sequence where the im- mortal poem is interpreted on the screen. This is the only portion of the film which has been treated with im- agination, and the only portion which is worthy of .discussion. It is an impressionistic picture of the various tortures shown Dante on his visit to the nether regions, using mass move- ments of human beings, a stirring musical score, and excellent camera work for a graphic pictorial descrip- tion. This particular part of “Dante's Inferno” is worth your attention. Oddly enough, however, it is this sequence of spectacle which weakens a film that can’t stand any too much weakening. For some three-quarters of an hour “Dante’s Inferno” is just an artificial melodrama of no particu- lar importance, and then suddenly the striking spectacle is injected. After | 10 minutes of this the drop back "’J the ordinary story is too much of a shock. The tale itself is unreal and un- | convincing. The story of a ruthless man’s rise to power could be told in | & much more telling manner if it were simplified. As it is, “Dante’s | Inferno” is artificial, and nothing | short of fantastic in the manner in | which poor Spencer Tracy, the stoker who became an amusement park power because he had no qualms about the methods used in his rise, gets a | private plece of the original lnrerno wrapped around his neck on several occasions to show him the light. The unreality even lets out studio tricks in one sequence where Mr. Tracy is tossed across a steamship en- gine room by high-pressure spray of escaping water. The stunt man who AMUSEME REV. A. P.

ASON is a lit- tle Ozark town of 200 souls, an in- timate, neighborly community where erops and the ‘weather are still in good standing as topics of conversa- tion and where the townspeople fore- gather of an eve- ning in the tidy square to discuss those same topics. Situated in a ‘wide, shallow val- ley south of the hogback that runs the length of the chain of hills from Kansas City almost. to Arkansas, Mascn is at first glance merely another in the series of neat little villages that appear to have been dropped in the Ozarks and then for- | gotten. But the first glance is the wrong way to judge Mason, for the town is under a mesmeric spell and | the inhabitants, for all their peaceful | eppearance, sometimes see visions. | ‘The history of the enchantment dates from the time that Darrow Wat- kins was visited by the devil. * x % % | DARROW WATKINS lived out at the west end of town. He had| come to Mason as a blacksmith, pinched his pennies carefully and amassed enough money to go into the farm mortgage business. By foreclos- ing on property at every possible op- portunity he eventually became the | richest man in the county and Mason's | leading citizen. But greed made him arrogrant, and when the minister came to him for a donation of a plot of ground to build a new church Darrow defied the man of the cloth. He said that churches ‘were for fools and cowards. He, Dar- row bragged, was no coward; he'd be glad to meet the old boy himself, face to face. ‘That very night there blew up a flerce mountain thunderstorm. The skies bristled with lightning, and at the height of the storm, neighbors say, a tall figure strode up to Darrow's front door and knocked loudly. He was dressed in a scarlet cloak, they will tell you, and beneath the cloak ‘were revealed, instead of the customary mountain hip boots, two hairy legs, ending in cloven hoofs. Darrow opened the door, stepped back in amazement—this much they saw; then a flerce streak of lightning concealed the scene. ‘That was the last time any one saw Darrow alive. He was found weeks later, drowned, at the bottom of the mill pond. How he got there is ua- explained. But the next day, the day after the storm, when neighbors in- vestigated, they found the imprint of & human hand burnéd into the var- nish of his front door. * K K X CYNICS might say the apparition was & straylg wanderer; they might even tell you that the prints found in the mud in front of the door were thosc of a horse, not of a satanic hoof—but no cynic has yet explained away that scorched imprint on the door. Scarce wonder, then, that the old house of Darrow Watkins has been aliowed to tumble down untenanted; it is, of course, haunted by the un- happy Darrow himself, who is spend- ing an enforced period of atonement for his insult to the man of God. The people of Mason scrupulously avoided visiting the old house after that, untll the Hentys came to town.

She alone of the entire | town pooh-poohed | the idea of a ghost. | On a particular aight in early Sep- tember the ladies of the village had congregated for a | quilting bee at old | Widow Nelson's house. As women | will, and especially | women who have | lived for years, as | you might say, as | the very neighbors of a ghost, these good ladies found their conversation | shifting to the su- | pernatural. “I think I saw | old Darrow,” said one, “a-sitting m the chimney of his house, singing | something unholy.” | The group gathered closer for mu- | tual protection—all but spinster Het- stitch, stitch. “I opine you was dreamin’,” she | said, not looking up. Quite naturally the other was net- tled. “Ef you don't believe in ghosts,” she countered, “maybe you'd have nerve | to walk over to Darrow's old place | night now?"” | * ok ok % T WAS 10 o'clock then, and dark. Darrow’s tumbled mansion was a | good mile away, and there are no | street lights in Mason. But at least Hettie had the courage of her con- victions—and probably liked to show off, too. “Tll do that,” she agreed. “Although land knows it's foolish for any one to take a dare.” “And how'll you prove you been there?” asked the other. It was agreed that Hettie should son’s cupboard and stick it into the ground by Darrow's front porch. The women would wait till she returned and at daylight see if the fork were there. Hettie left, and the women waited. She should have returned in half an hour; an hour passed. They all screwed up their courage and set out to find her. Something more ominous than a ghost might have Hettle in thrall, they feared. They saw her body from the road. The moon, through the swayiag branches of a long-leafed pine, di- rected a single broad shaft upon her Where she lay, lifeless, as they dis- covered, her face twisted in terror. Cynics talk about Hettie now, too. They will tell you she had heart fail- ure when the fork, which she hurried- ly stuck into the ground, went through the hem of her long skirt and im- | paled it. They will tell you that her fright at the pull on her dress when she turned to leave was too much for her overwrought imagination. But the townsfolk merely wink an eye and cast fearful glances at the ramshackle old building, with its door which still bears mute testimony of the devil's call. ‘They will tell how, on dark nights, old Darrow’s maniac laughter out- howls the wind that swoops down from the hogback where thé valley eunds.

Our money is on “Cheek to Cheek.” The chorus dance routines, di- rected by Hermes Pan, are novel, be- | cause there are no animated pin wheels and they are highly attractive. The acting of the mild story is done | superbly by Helen Broderick, Edward Everett Horton, Eric Rhodes and Eric | Blore, all masterful comedy perform- ers. Ginger Rogers is Ginger Rogers, which is enough. She is attractively clad throughout, keeps up with the Astaire rat-tat-tat, and is exceedingly delectable in the “Cheek to Cheek” sequence. H. M.
