AMUSEMENTS. B—16 ## Sparks and Broderick Excellent New Team “The Bride Walks Out” Presents two Poker Faced Actors at Top Form—Amusing Film at Keith’s. BY E. de S. MELCHER. TH! film at Keith's is such diverting, hot-weather lighthearted entertain- ment, that we hope every one will take an hour or so off this week and go to see it. Mind you, it is not by any means an important picture. Its story has been told since the beginning of time (not “The March of Time.”) A gal marries a boy and the boy has only $35 a week and the girl wants to work and the boy doesn’t want her to work and she eventuaily works and then the rich young admirer steps in. You know: Something a little younger than “Private Number” (which, by the way, is “Common Clay”) but still old. There s, however, one scene in “The Bride Walks Out” which is on a par with the best there was in “Mr. Deeds.” It is a mad house scene, a roaring, howling, impossible sort of & business which might have been written by Mr. Coward at his craziest or Messrs. Hecht-and-MacArthur, also at their craziest. And Ned (Poker Face) Sparks and Helen (Statue of Liberty) Brodenck take to it like a couple of ducks to water. It is the author’s agreeable intention in this to reveal a young bride (Barbara Stanwyck) being set upon by furniture chasers, dispensers of gloom, % who, because she doesn’t pay her bill, snatch every e ————— bit of furniture out of her home on New Year's eve. Sitting there in abject despair, assisted in despair by Miss Broderick, the gay, )oung and thankfully rich Robert Young appears V\;th t;:" magnums of champagne under arm. e 190 PERSONS SUFFER At sight of these Miss Stanwyck vives, Miss Broderick licks her chops PO‘SONING AT DINNER and all three of them sit on the floor and quietly go to work on the beverage.

OLLYWOOD, July 2 (N.AN.A).—Gladys Swarthout is a very unusual 1 opera singer. Not be she H tractive, Spanish home in Bovevelyi Hills. The “we” includes manager- husband, Frank Chapman, a singer | in his own right and without whom Miss Swarthout makes no decision re- garding work or pleasure. “I thought I'd been brought to Hollywood to sing in two pictures. I realized after- ward it was to listen to some one £ else singing.” In ¥ Miss Swarthout's ; previous picture contract with Paramount, she made “Rose of the Rancho,” with John Boles, and “Give Us This Night,” in which tempera- | mental Jan Kiepura Ippropmledv the lion’s share of the singing spotlight. “I suffered very much, but what | could I do? I knew nothing. I kept saying to myself, ‘All these people | have been in this business many, many years; they must know what they are doing.” It was too late when I discovered they were practically as ignorant as 1.” “All that is over now,” comforted Chapman. “We now have the right to help choose my wife's cast and story.” The first picture on Miss Swarth- out’s new contract is “Champagne Waltz,” in which Fred MacMurray, | one of the most sought-after leading Sheilah Grabam successful orchestra leader, and the lovely voice of the New York Metro- | politan Opera House songster will not | be dimmed by the encroachment of | another famous singer. | “I nearly died when I first saw and | | heard myself on the screen,” said Miss Swarthout. “The acoustics were so bad. I would have given anything | | for the power to re-do this scene and | abolish entirely that scene. It was | | so different from grand opera, where, | if you give a mediocre performance | one night, there is always tomorrow and another chance. “Screen work is much more flrmg than the operatic stage,” the pemel “I¥’s a real piano” and only . .. .. 4 0 o7 40-Note 3-Octave Size Ofly at Jordan’s Features— ® Copper Wound Bass Strings Bushed Tuning Pins.
