AMUSEMENTS. “Broadway M elody 0f1936” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DiamondJim Is Smash Musical Film Hit/Has Second Eleanor Powell Dances Her Way to Fame in New Picture at the Palace—The Fox’s Stage Show and Film. BY E. DE S. \HEY don't make more than one MELCHER. or two or three “Broadway Melody of 1936s” & year. The reason being that they don't run across people like Eleanor Powell more than once or twice or thrice a year. Miss Powell is the bright particular star of this popular musical film now playing at Angie Ratto's Palace Theater and thereby hangs a story. For a few sea- sons ago Miss Powell was just another dancer, “stopping” any show she happened to be in, but not reapingds the rewards, that a young lady of | talent might expect. She went l‘.o] Hollywood. She was put in a “star- | ring vehicle” for Jack Benny. She | became the star. Mr. Benny has been a very good | sport about it all. Like William | Powell in “Escapade” he ran to the producer, said, “Look here, I'm not the star of this picture,” and praised Miss | Powell to the skies as Powell had done for Luise Rainer. And so, suddenly, this young dancer who appeared again and again and again at the Fox and at the National broke into the lime- | light and was positively cheered when her picture was first shown in Holly- wood. i Miss Powell is not, however, the| only good thing about “Broadway Melody.” There is Mr. Benny, there is & man who snores, there is Una| Merkel, who has never done a second- rate job in her life; there are the two | Ebsens, Vilma and Buddy, who to our | way of thinking every now and then walk away with the show; there is that elegant tune, “You Are My Lucky Star”; a newcomer called Robert Taylor, who may very well play Romeo opposite Miss Shearer’s Juliet one of | these days, and there is Sid Silvers, who doubles for “Mademoiselle Ar- lette"—and thereby hangs another story. The story, as a matter of fact, is no epic in “Melody.” But it does well enough. It affords opportunities for | that snorer, for Mr. Taylor to punch Mr. Benny in the nose now and again, for Miss Powell to dance like she has never danced before and for a few musical numbers which might put even the energetic Mr. Berkeley to| shame. It's all about a musical show and an ambitious dancer who wants to get into the show and can’t; as also about a “columnist” who has the knack of writing the wrong thing at the right time. Mr. Benny is the columnist, Mr. ‘Taylor is the young show producer and Miss Merkel is his secretary. And somewhere near at hand is the much- praised Miss Powell, whose dancing is the most-talked-of Hollywood event of the year. * ok ok ok LEr‘S begin with the stage show this week at Loew’s Fox, because Arthur Godfrey and Arch MacDonald are in it and because Gene Ford staged that gag about the trunk. It’s all very good fun and both Mr. Godfrey and Mr. MacDonald are in their prime. “The Little Godfreys” band plays right merrily; Nell Kelly comes out and does a Garbo that will kill you and a ditty about “beans” that will also kill you, and there are two swell dancers, Tom and Betty Wonders, who have danced before ail the crowned heads in England and who are likely to be heard about from Hollywood one of these days. Added to that there is a young lady called Annette Ames who gets a great deal of applause and the talented Mr. Raye Saxe, who does eight things at once and does them all very well. Mr. Godfrey’s fans will find him looking more like a cherub than ever and Mr. MacDonald’s fans will find him leading the orchestra with a vim that even the puissant Mr. Phil Lamp- kin might envy. The picture “Here’s to Romance” presents Nino Martini to movie audi- ences in a film which also marks the film debut of Mme. Schumann-Heink. It is an interesting musical film, due to Mr. Martini’'s excellent singing, Mme. Schumann-Heink’s personality and the presence of Maria Gambarelli and Escudero in the cast. The score has been arranged with considerable skill, and you'll even see Mr. Martini singing opera in a 5-and-10-cent store. The general effect is, however, well above the average, and people will find that the music, some of the acting and most of the people are well adapted to this light and amusing and musically superior film. Mr. Martini may not be “the male Grace Moore” of Hollywood, but his voice records excellently, FORMER JUDGE DOYLE ANNIVERSARY SPEAKER Silver Celebration Is Held by El Dorado Club at Banquet. Former Municipal Court Judge Mi- chael M. Doyle was principal speaker at the silver anniversary celebration of the El Dorado Club at a banquet at the Mayflower Hotel Thursday night. The club was organized here October 10, 1910. Other speakers were William J. McNally, Leopold V. Freudberg and Leon F. Cooper. Club President Albert W. Tucker delivered an address of welcome.

By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, Del,, October 12.— United States Representative Hamil- ton Fish, jr., of New York, assailed “inspired propaganda from the Middle West” for a Republican presidential nominee: from that section tonignt “and said he may be a candidate him« self. In an interview before addressing a meeting sponsored by the New Century Club, he said: “We need a candidate who knows the issues and is able to unite the party—young and old, veterans and non-veterans, conservatives and lib- erals. Unless some other candidate comes forward, I may comply with the requests of my friends to become a candidate.” WHERE TO DINE. TOBY TAVERN 1509 H St. N.W.

DEAN JAGGER, who conquers the desert in Zane Grey’s “Wanderer of the Wasteland,” which opened at Loew’s Columbia yesterday, wears a suit exactly like the one young Isham | Keith donned many weeks ago, when, way up on the top floor of the Na- tional Press Building, he dangled his legs over the edge of the stage and warbled “The Bird on Nellie's Hat,” thereby intriguing not only Nellie, but also countless femmes who munched pretzels and listened to the tale of Nellie's bird and Nellie’s bonnet, Mr. Jagger, finding that his brother “framed” him in a poker game, shoots his frere, knocks down the sheriff, who was also a card cheat, pops out the window, into the arms of Gail Patrick, to whom he tells the story of the shooting, and flees to the desert, Having left town in a hurry, the poor lad forgets to purchase a can- teen and nearly dies of thirst in Mr. Grey's wasteland. He is rescued by an old prospector who has Barrymore eyes, who does the best piece of act- ing in the film, and who gives advice to “Adam” Jagger. All of which is Hollywood's proof that “desert rats” become humanitarians when the hero is in trouble. Jagger is ill-at-ease in a few hun- dred feet of celluloid, until finally he firmly clasps Miss Patrick around th waist, stands on a boulder and wave good-by to the grizzly miner who rides away into the West. Those who dote on Grey and on Western pictures, will, I fear, find the Paramount film unsatisfactory, We who remember the once lovely Anna Q. Nilssen and Monte Blue, view them but briefly, for, in the early sequences of the picture, they perish in Death Valley. Included in Columbia’s bill of fare is & Tuxedo comedy about the antics of a couple of collegians whose alma mater is the conception of a poorly paid scenario writer, whose brain ca- pacity apparently is infinitesimal. The program is completed by an interesting short about canaries and chipmunks and the usual news reel, which is not complete these days without shots of Ethiopians in Ethi- opia and the Baer menage in Cal- ifornia, M. W, EMPORIA COLLEGE HAS “FLAT-TIRE” STUDENT Lives in Trailer and Deflates Tires to Avoid Temptation of Run- ning Up Gas Bill. By the Associated Press. EMPORIA, Kans., October 12.—Lu- ther Wesley Keplar is a “flat tire” student at Emporia Teachers College. He lives in a trailer which he built himself, loaded with 100 cans of fruit and vegetables and drove here from his Eldorado, Kans, home attached to a motor car. Then he deflated the tires on the car—to avoid the tempta- ng of driving—and running up a gas 13TH and E STS. SWANEE Keith Week Edward Arnold Film Has Extended Stay, as Do Dionnes. EDWAED ARNOLD, who has many friends in Washington, made dur- ing his several Summers with the Na- tional Theater Players, is spending his second week at R-K-O-Keith’s, playing the title role in “Diamond Jim.” The story deals with famous char- acters of the days of bicycles-built- for-two, Diamond Jim, a “diamond in the rough,” who rose from rooms over his father’s saloon to owner of more than one railroad, and that famous beauty of the stage, Lillian Russell. Edward Arnold lives up to his rep- utation as a portrayer of characters, showing the high-pressure salesman of the 80s, with an overdeveloped sentimentalism quite true to type. The role of Lillian Russell is in the hands of Binnie Barnes, who looks the part and plays it well. The fa- mous beauty made her first stage appearance in Tony Pastor's Theater in New York and made her first great fame as the milkmaid in “Patience,” a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera. Her beauty lasted beyond her days of the theater, for as the wife of Alexander Moore, United States Am- bassador fo Spain, she was among the guests at a state reception at the White House during the Harding administration, easily recognized by many from their familiarity with her photographs. In the supporting cast are Jean Arthur, as Jane Matthews, Diamond Jim’'s great love; Cesar Romero, as Jane’s successful lover, and many others, each doing his or her part to make an interesting and entertaining picture, Remaining at R-K-O Keith's with “Diamond Jim” are the Dionne quin- tuplets, who show what a day means to them; an amusing animated car- toon, and the usual week's news reels. K. B. —_— MISS LANDI APPEARS IN CONVENTIONAL DRAMA “Without Regret,” Offered at Met- ropolitan, Reveals Artificial Plot. THE best that can be said about “Without Regret,” latest Elissa Landi vehicle by Paramount, which yesterday opened at the Metropolitan, is that it easily could carry the major burden of & double bill The worst that can be said about it is that it lacks conviction. The players seem to have remained un- convinced that they were making a dramatic work, even after the as- sistant director must have told them. The story (even though it concerns a woman happily married, who sud- denly is confronted with a previous husband thought dead, a situation with possibilities for & successful movie) is entirely too obvious in its plot development. ‘When Miss Landi meets Adventurer Kent Taylor in a bandit raid in China, you know she's going to become en- tangled, that this entanglement will not be successful, and that Miss Landi will marry again. You know, too, that husband No. 1 will return from his supposed watery grave, and that when he does villianess Frances Drake is going to be an unpleasant individual and blackmail Miss Landi out of revenge for breaking up a love affair. When Mr. Taylor, out of the good- ness of his heart and his love for Miss Landi, goes to Miss Drake's apart- ment to get the important letters, finally being forced to do away with the young lady, and the crime is dis- covered by husband No. 2, you will be three jumps ahead of the film in knowing just how husband No. 2 is going to become involved. And then, if you have been to three movies in your lifetime you will have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Taylor will turn up at the proper moment to commit the beau geste. The players, though they have no faith in their work, do adopt very smoothly the external characteritics of their roles. Miss Landi has been far more beautiful at other times, and has had far more confidence in other parts, but she is Elissa Landi, which is a whole Iot. Frances Drake does the villainess role in sauve and sinister fashion, and Paul Cavanagh is correct as the second husband.” Mr. Taylor is a handsome citizen, but he is not the chap to leave the Hollywood stag line of supporting players to be a leading man for Miss Landi, H.

DAILY SHORT STORY- WATER CURE By Fletcher D. Slater. EVEN under the light on the Key Bridge from Washington to Vir- ginia Ed Sheldon did not look like & man who would commit suicide. His blue serge suit, shapeless in the mist, was well worn. But no more | than those of a hundred semi-pros- perous business | men of the city. His cheeks were not gouged by sick- ness, and he lounged on the bridge with the su- preme content that follows & well- chosen dinner. Sheldon stretched. A glance toward Georgetovn, whose lights glistened a hundred yards farther on through the drizzle, showed no one coming. The long approach behind him, too, was wetly deserted. Deliberately Ed Shel- don had chosen his station under this bridge light. The water slipping along far beneath seemed a little less black, where the light was. It wouldn't be hard, there. A hand on the lighted rail, a quick vault. ... Methodically he drew from his inside coat pocket an empty manila envelope addressed to Stella Sheldon, his wife. In it he placed kis billfold, containing his driver's license—what a mockery when he hadn't had a car for five years! and a snapshot of Stella. * %k X % HE HESITATED, took out the bill- fold from the envelope. He opened the billfold, slipped out the snapshot. He looked quickly about, then bent his head and caressed the glossy image with his lips. Then he replaced it in the bilifold and the billfold in the envelope. He had thought it all out. That would be all he would leave—just that one envelope holding his billfold, his keys and his watch. His note to Stella would bring her to the bridge at mid- night, to this light. He would wait until he saw her coming before he went over the rail. He wouldn't want anybody else to get his watch, the billfold she had given him, his snap- shot of her. If only he had landed this last job .+ . But his insurance was due next week. He couldn’t pay it again. Suicide! It had an ugly sound. But why did people make such a to-do about it? He could provide for Stella this way. He had a good wad of in® surance. A reliable company. And she’d get over the shock. He took out his pocket comb, hesl- tated and put it back in his hip pocket. No use to burden her use- lessly with things that might make her remember and cry. She would cry. The realization of that swept through Ed Sheldon like & warm flood. * % k % Even though they had quarreled, even though she had said she never wanted to see him ©Oh, ft hadn’t been just that he couldn’t find work. It had been his being under- foot, at home, that had finally got on her nerves, he thought. He had been away a month now. The first lonely ache had dulled. He had AMUSEMENTS. HI » R\, \ 1t wouldn’t be hard, there. | even tried, half- heartedly, to find some one to take Stella’s place. It had been futile. ‘These other wom- en didn't under- stand him. They didn't satisfy the deep part of him. Stella was differ- ent. Her sensitive spirit, which had _: been his despair, yet was his delight. He thought of her quick, alert step, as she used to come to the door to wel- come him home from work at night. It was 15 minutes || before 12. He took out his pecketknife, slipped it into the envelope. Stella always had such a time opening her letters with her sensitive, tapering | fingers. He squinted at his watch again, a thin, open-faced model that Stella had given him, years ago, as a wed- | ding gift. He wore it on a gold chain strung across his vest, and secured with a gold crossbar snubbed through the third buttonhole. * ok kX UNHUREIEDLY he began to take off the chain. Stella would never sell the watch. Why should she? The insurance would bring her $1,500 a | year for the rest of her life. Not a lot, but enough. He heard the mutter of a deep ex- haust, and felt the bridge quiver. He glanced down the approach in annoyance. Twin headlights, and a blur above that signified & bus were turning onto the bridge. But Ed Sheldon scarcely noticed them. Standing not 20 feet from him, her piquant face aglow in the light, was Stella. She wore an old gray raincoat, and rubbers on her feet. That was why he had not seen or heard her. That, and because he had been so busy with his preparations. But she was early, nearly 15 minutes. He forgot everything else as he gazed into her face. It was alight No loathing, no irritation at the sight of him. Instinctively he started to her. Then the bus thun- dered up, and he shrank close to the rail. Let it pass, let the accursed headlights die away. Then he could see that light in Stella’s eyes again. It must have been a dream. Yet he knew it had not been a dream. * ok X THE taillights, the curtained rear windows receded, leaving only the foul, heavy exhaust of the laboring engine, He turned his eyes again to Stella. His mounting spirit turned to ashes. It had been a dream. On her face was disgust, abhorrence. He laughed, hardly, and wrenched the watch chain loose. He stuffed the watch in the envelope, stooped to lay Come back! you were coming to me. Why did you do it? Why? Why? Why...” The foul, heavy exhaust of the en- gine still lingered. (Copyright, 1935.) AMUSEMENTS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1935. “Shipmates Mixes Songs and Humor Naval Academy Film at Earle Deals Authen- tically With Life at Service 6 Navy in his heart. A large part of the entertainment is due to the fact the film is played enthusiastically and in a rather light- hearted manner, despite the use of the authorized and accepted service- school story—the one about the boy who couldn’t take the discipline and didn’t like the academy in the be- ginning, but who ended up with the right attitude toward life. Of course, that story probably is good enough. It has been good ever since Hollywood began making annual photographic forays into Annapolis and West Point. But it is hardly the story that should be credited with making “Shipmates Forever” enter- taining. * ok k% THE film Ims a elight tendency to wax overly sentimental at times, too, when it lets down its hair and starts out to have a good cry over the traditions of the Naval Academy and the meaning of being Navee. Now, that is in no wise intended as a slur against the Navy or its train- ing school, but rather is a sort of pro- test to the movie producers, who feel that waving the flag is a dramatic situation, “Shipmates Forever” is a film you will enjoy, however, in spite of these few complaints, It has songs by Dick Powell, it has a lot of good, human humor, and it deals authentically with the Naval Academy. It moves along at a good clip, too. Powell, of course, is the chief ship- mate, and he does excellently as the night club crooner who entered the academy just to show his admiral- father he could pass the exams. It is Johnny Arledge, however, who steals & lot of honors as far as acting is con- cerned, something which he has done before. Johnny turns in a piece of work that would be hard to beat as a young sailor who couldn't quite make the grade at Annapolis but who died a Navy hero.

Frank Borzage di- rected. Bk & 'OPULAR tunes of the day, brightly arranged and played in a smart manner, are the mainstay of the Earle stage show. The playing of these tunes is done by Freddie Martin and his popular broadcasting and recording orchestra, & group of musicians popu- lar with people who dance. They are their first appearance here. The combination is something of a unique one among dance units, being composed of three violins, three saxes, a brace of pianos and only a two- plece brass section, in addition to the drums, bass and guitar. This holding the brass section down to a trumpet and trombone and placing a trio of violins up in front of everything makes for sweet and smooth music. There is an accomplished dance team presented with the unit, too, and | they do a graceful and exciting tango and another number which will be much better when they are not dis- concerted at the start by having the stage crew practically throw the band at them. Roy Smeck, “wizard of the strings,” is the added attraction who yesterday stopped the show with his playing of “I Want to Go Back to My Little Grass Shack,” and his novelty imi- tation of the rat-tat-tat of Bill Rob- inson’s stair dance. ~—H.
