B—16 am Ace Cr USEMENTS. awford Picture Now Playing at the Fox|In Tangled| Star Has Excellent Cast in “I Live My Life” Including Brian Aherne, Frank Morgan and Aline MacMahon. BY E. de S. LTHOUGH it is no secret that A the best of the bunch. MELCHER. Joan Crawford doesn't care much for the type of film in which she has been appearing for the past few months, her latest cinema contribution, “I Live My Life,” is probably In it she plays one of those daughters of the rich who gets taken down & peg or two by a fellow who is probably just as proud about being poor and an a and vapid. The grand finale in this% amounts to a little furniture tossing party in which Miss Crawford heaves lamps, vases and her wedding dress around the room .. —a scene which might be a good starting for any revolution — and & scene which in- cidentally Miss Crawford does very well. There is an- other good scene and that occurs when Brian Aherne, the handsome arche- ologist who starts out by preferring * e i Joan Crawford, Crawford, also loses his temper. This time it is in a fit of rage over becoming a vice president of a large corporation—a vice presidency which has been awarded him overnight and one which consists largely in his having to sit at a desk and press some two dozen buttons. When he gets good and mad he presses all the but- tons at once, raises his voice to the high heavens, and behaves just as much like a child as does Miss Craw- ford when she is bouncing flower pots around the room. From these two scenes you will gather that all is not beer and skit- tles in this little romance which was formerly called “Claustrophobia.” For the Crawford expedition on a fancy yacht to foreign shores, and inci- dentally the islands of Greece, finds father Frank Morgan losing hideously rcheologist as she is about being rich I | at bridge and never getting off his | boat, finds Brian Aherne digging up | cunning little mummies, and also finds | that love which eventually blossoms into rage. Mr. Morgan has never been better— | particularly at that rare moment when he “lectures” on Greece as trustee of the museum. Miss Craw- ford has never been handsomer—her | dresses designed by Adrian evidently pleasing the ladies—and Mr, Aherne melts his poker face and cracks out with some of the neatest acting he has done in the films. Added to that there is Aline Mac- Mahon in a small but serviceable role, and Jessie Ralph as the grandmother who gets her first great setback when Aherne tells her she'’s an old fool. The two butlers are played by those two ace Hollywood butlers — Eric Blore and Arthur Treacher. * % % % ORK AND KING head the Loew's Fox stage show this week, pre- senting their pleasant nonsense in some amusingly staged scenes. The first skit is the next thing to & Bea- trice Lillie number—which means it is almost tops. Al Shayne sings popu- lar songs in good voice (but please, | sir, cut the “gags'g; Vox and Walters trot out their clever ventriloquist act and Alexander and Santos present a burlesque dance revue which is at its best when it isn't burlesque. No great shakes the stage show this week—but you don't want to miss the picture if you are a Crawford fan and Phil Lampkin and the Fox Movie- tone news fill in the intervals grace- tully, Capital’s Drama Groups ‘Amateur Companies Preparing Plays for Their New Season. HE Drama Guild is getting a 10t of mew blood this year. is getting away from the old “closed corporation” method of casting and opening the ranks to any local player who has what it takes to win a role in the try-outs. The guild’s first show of the season, Shaw's “You Never Can Tell,” has & lot of Road- side favorites in the cast. There’s Eugene Kressin, always a villain heretofore, playing a rather nice chap in the G. B. S. piece. It's the first time he has “reformed” here in town, though he has been on the right side of the law in several Mary- land U. plays. Tony Hardt, the Road- side’s melodrama director, also is in the cast, and Lansing Hall, the baby of last season’s Roadside troupe, plays his twin sister. Tom Cahill is another vet Roadsider in “You Never Can Tell.” There also is at least one member of the Montgomery Players present in tie person of Irving Day, and the ros- ter also includes such well-known Guild players as Maude Howell Smith and Maurice Jarvis, Dennis E. Con- nell is directing. Frank Baer has written another play. It's a farce titled “That Guy Winkler,” and it is to be tried out by the Pierce Hall Players as the next production on their schedule. ‘Marvin Beers, production manager of the Drama Guild, will direct the first offering of the Cue and Curtain Club of George Washington Univer-. sity. The play is “She Loves Me Not,” adapted by Howard Lindsay from Ed- ward Hope’s novel. The story of Curly Flagg, night club dancer who wite nessed a murder and took refuge in a Princeton dorm so she wouldn’t have to testify, has been somewhat simpli- fied for the Cue and Curtain produc- tion, because the original Broadway version offers some problems in ex- tensive staging beyond the reach of a non-professional company. The ex- act date has not been set yet, but it is expected the play will be given the first week in December. Cue and Curtain, in addition to the three regular plays on its schedule, is stepping into the experimental field and producing a manuscript play. “The Editor Strikes” is the title; it was written by Donald O. John and will be presented at the George Washing- ton Scholastic Press Convention No- vember 15 and 16. Carl Christianson, who made his local acting debut at the Arts Club Tuesday in “Apron Strings,” is one of those rare birds like Movie Star Johnny Mack Brown—a combination foot ball player and actor. Carl is said to have slayed 'em at South Bend, both acting in Notre Dame shows and pig-skinning under Knute Rockne. The Columbia Players are sending out a frantic S O S. Ransack the at- tic and clean the cellar, they plead. Uncover any and all old clothes, old furniture, old bric-a-brac, old any- thing with a nineteenth century date on it and immediately phone Jane Lasater Rubey. She'll send a wagon and you will have the undying grati- tude of the Columbia Players for pro- viding props and raiment. The reason for all this scurry to obtain antique garb is a schedule which includes three period plays, “The Inheritors,” with its first act Jaid in 1879; “Uncle Vanya,” set in the 1880’s, and “Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model.” The group is doing “Sailors of Catarro,” too, so if you happen to have an Austrian navy uni- form about the house it will be more than welcome. - Norman Rose, who recently won a scholarship to the Studio of Theater Arts, is cast in the first Columbia play, “Candlelight,” to be given No- vember 6 and 7. Others to take part are Robert M. Miller, Dorothea Lewis, Eileen Fowler, Juliet Edes Alves, Wade Robinson, Joe Bourne and Elwood Godsall. Orris Holland is directing. Dramat, the American University Dramatic Club, will present “Is Life Worth Living?” an Irish comedy by Lennox Robinson, some time next month. The group now is holding tryouts and early rehearsals to select the cast for the play, which was given last season, under a different name, by the Abbey Theater Players. The Dramat director is Will Hutchins. A plece of news which should arouse considerable interest is the announce- ment by Constance Connor Brown that she has obtained producing rights It to Valentine Katayev's much-dis- cussed “Squaring of the Circle,” and that it will be presented as the Studio of Theater Arts’ first offering of the season. If you go to New York there’s no reason for you to be lonesome. In fact, you might be able to make yourself & fair living by operating a theatrical boarding house for Wash- ington actors looking for Broadway jobs, for the Washington colony in the big town continues to grow. Rumor now has it that Isham Keith is in New York attempting to produce his own show. Rumor also has it that Mr. Keith, Bob Pitkin and Myrtis Morgan are in New York at- tempting to produce their own show. Anyhow, it is pretty certain that Isham Keith is in New York for some reason or other. Other local players hounding the producers’ offices or working are Fed Tiller and Dick Midgley, both of whom are with a group which is going to do a series of revivals, start- ing with “Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl”; Beth Thompson, former Drama Guild and Odeon Player; Ann Gar- rett, chosen best actress in the Dis- trict at the last one-act play tourney; John Sikken, Walter Pick and How- ard Whitfield. John Mann is back in town, which may mean that the Man-Tilla Players, winners of the last play tournament, will again join the ranks of local groups.

Merry Mass Pala_c_e Show “Big Broadcast” Is Mixture Which Will Entertain. ‘THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1936, which yesterday came to Loew’s Palace, is a merry hodge-podge of music, dancing, radio stars, completely inane comedy, elephants doing a Berkley dance routine, Lyda Roberti in & couple of swank gowns which give you a good idea of what Lyda Roberti looks like, and a story a two- reel comedy would not brag about. All this and more was tossed in front of the cameras and allowed to come out just about as it happened to come out, but it's entertaining. It's mighty entertaining if you like these things and don’t have to have them hung together any too legitimately; if you don’t have to have your comedy too subtle; if you like the antics of George Burns and Gracie Allen (who are much better when they don't have a whole film to carry), and if you like Jack Oakie's way with comedy. ’ ‘What laughingly passes for a plot in “Big Broadcast” has Miss Roberti as some sort of a countess who takes Oakie and Henry Wadsworth to an island to decide with which she is in love, whereupon the villain of the piece (C. Henry Gordon) plots to do away with the one she selects. Skip the plot. “Big Broadcast” is a revue, s0 the best thing to do is enumerate the acts in the order of their apparent worth. There is one excuse for the story, however. It provides the salubrious Miss Roberti with two boy friends, which in turn provides the excuse for | Lyda to sing “Double Trouble.” That is very nice indeed. ‘Then there is Ethel Merman singing “It’s the Animal in Me,” which is an- other mark on the right side of the ledger. Along with Miss. Merman's chanting there is the newest dance routine of the year—done by a line of show girl elephants. Of course, the pachyderm chorus routine is aided | by trick camera work, but that doesn't matter when you can see elephants doing time steps, high kicks, a Berk- ley flower pattern and even a bit of a rhumba. Other acts in “Big Broadcast” are a sure-fire comedy sketch by Mary Bo- land and Charles Ruggles, Bill Robin- son tap dancing, the Nicholas broth- ers tap dancing, Ray Noble and his band playing a couple of smart num- bers, Ina Ray Hutton waving her baton (and herself) in front of her Melodears, the Vienna Boys' Choir singing once, Bing Crosby singing one of the current hits, “I Wished on the Moon,” Amos n’ Andy doing a bit, and | four slapstick carpenters. Wendy Barrie is connected with the plot of the piece only in a minor fash- ion, but she is good to see when she appears. The pot-pourri was tossed together by Director Norman Taurog. The Palace program also includes, as a special added attraction, the four. reel film, “Wings Over Ethiopia. Made by a Swiss, L. Wechsler, it is an | interesting, informative and entertain- ing picture of the most discussed land of today. There's a Walt Disney “Silly Symphony” in color, too, which drew huzzahs from yesterday’s mat- inee audience. H. M. BOOK PLAYS OFFERED ‘“Les Miserables” and “Treasure Island” at Little.

Johnny appears as an enthusiastic saflor lad, imbued to the ears with the Navy spirit, who passes the entrance exams to the academy, attacks his courses with a vim and vigor, but flunks out because he can't quite man- age the intricacies of steam turbines. With a couple of scenes before his exams and one big scene where he bids his room mates and the Naval Acad- emy farewell, young Mr Arledge puts “Shipmates Forever” in his inside coat Ppocket and walks away with it. ‘The story, on the whole, is the ac- cepted one—probably authorized by the Government as the proper thing to say about the service schools. It tells all about a young fellow who springs from a long line of admirals, but who will have none of the Navy at any price. Tricked by his father into entering Donald Woods is cast in one of the major roles in “Enemy of Man,” Warner Bros. film based on the life of Louis Pasteur, which stars Paul Muni as the French scientist.

THE locale of Charlie Chan's last | film was Egypt. He has since trekked to the Orient, forsaking mum- mies and erratic Egyptologists for the less macabre, but none the less mer- cenary doings of optum smugglers. Into Loew's Columbia | | vesterday | trotted countless fans to see “Charlie | They first saw the Biggers detective playing leapfrog with five juveniles, next saw him de- | serting philosophy to mutter a ditty about a wee Chinese princess. Soon, however, murder stalks the screen. Chan’s friend, Sir Stanley Woodland, is killed at a banquet given for the sage-philosopher-detective. ‘There are the usual complications, but in the end Chan “gets his man.” Involved in the tale is Sir Stan- ley’s niece, Diana, who is none other than Arene Hervey, a chataine ver- sion of Frances Dee. who has a very nice profile, and who at intervals | cries, “Oh, Philip!” Charles Locher, who plays Sir Stan- ley’s secretary and Diana's fiance, is a handsome chap, but doltish—thus fulfilling a flicker's requirements for the hero of a mystery story, just as Miss Hervey's inarticulation fills the | bill. The Chan movies get longer and duller, and the current one is no ex- ception. Charlie should wash his face and learn to speak English. He should also do something about his son Lee, who either jumps from staircases and knocks villains down a Ja Doug Fair- banks, or spends all his time making what he terms “female telephone calls.” When these reforms have been accomplished, then in high glee and | good faith we shall go to see Mr. Oland solve mysteries in any land he may choose.

Dick Powell does a fine job as the chap who told his admiral father he wasn't interested in the fleet because he'd seen too many news reels. He's a night club crooner before he goes to Annapolis, so he has plenty of op- portunity to sing, both to New York's Brooks-Brothered gentry and to his upper classmen as part of his hazing.

Apparently | the result of a strained search for a new “angle” on the gangster stories, | this creaking tale lacks motivation, plausibility, plot, characterization nn!.‘li any number of other things you pay | your money to see in the theater. Its personages are so obviously stuffed dummies that one expects sawdust to spurt out of them when they are punctured by bullets. Needless to | add, any one who can make the vital Mr» Muni seem something of a depart- ment store mummy has performed a classic of bad writing, directing and whatnot. The improbable antics in “Dr. So- crates” center about a neurotic medico who has fled the peaceful precincts of Chicago and sought sanctuary in a small town called Big Bend, where | gangsters roar through the street 90 | miles an hour, shoot up the town bank | at irregular intervals, and defy the | local gendarmes with something akin to impunity.
