AMUSEMENTS. " “China Clipper” Is Full Of Heroics and Publicity This Press Agent’s Dream Is Not All Dull, However—Stage Singing an BY ROBERT B. Show Has Good d Hoofing. PHILLIPS, Jr. HERE must be a story behind the story of the production of “China Clipper.” And judging from all Indian signs by which such thin the footprints, broken twigs and other gs may be divined, the story is that the press agent for Pan-American Air Lines shook his fountain pen and out came a motion picture. Whoever that shrewd publicist might be, he deserves credit for the longest, the widest, the deepest, the most stupendous Ppublicity blurb ever filmed. For the picture at the Earle this week is little more than a cinematic advertisement for the cour- age, audacit; y. persistence, self-sacrifice and what- not of a certain aviation company which (a) de- veloped air routes in South America with North American capital, cutting European promoters out of an opportunity to do the same; (b) placed its planes at the service of Red Cross and relief authorities after a certain hurricane in F—ida; (c) developed the first trans-Pacific air route. The game is, you guess which company they're talking about. ‘While the pilots, managers, designers, mechanics, wives, sweethearts and janitors of P—n A—r—an’s organization come in for a general crowning with glory, the ol in the teeth nly fellow in the story who gets a kick is the financier who put up the money for all this venturesome business. He, the big sissy, worries because he thinks there is a fine chance of losing his investment, and for that he is awarded a crown of raspberries to wear upon his brow, while the others divide the laurel leaves betwixt ‘em. Despite all the unnecessary heroics, gmm—m—Mm————————no which the real promoters, pilots, craftsmen, etc., must deplore as much as any one, “China Clipper” is not a completely dull tale. The excite- ments of business pioneering usually appeal to fellow tradesmen more than any one, but in this instance the com- mercial swashbuckling happens to be | equipped with wings, which makes n. more picturesque before the camera, swifter in action, and more directly | concerned with the vital problems of & hazardous occupation. No novelty in flying films, “China Clipper” has its best moments when the camera is following its majestic namesake in flight, landing and trou- blesome weather. The Clipper is something to see, and the vision that | brought it into being deserves all due | credit. Whether it deserved to get mixed up in the super-super-dramat- ics of a movie is something else again. Pat O'Brien is the chief visionary of the tale, with Humphrey Bogart, Rosd Alexander and Henry Walthall as his steadfast compatriots. There is some completely ineffectual love stuff brought in by Beverly Roberts, and Marie Wilson works up a laugh or two for the boys. Sk ok The Earle’s stage bill this week has Bob Crosby and his orchestra, songs by Kay Weber, dancing by Ray and Grace MacDonald. Music, singing and hoofing are uniformly commend- able, in a nice, mild way. * ¥ X % “The Gorgeous Hussy” remains at Loew's Palace for a second week, plot- | ting, perhaps, to break the holdover records as well as those smashed in its initial bow to the Washington public. Based on the life of Peggy O'Neale, a tavern-keeper's daughter who was the talk of the town when Andrew Jack- son was President, thid tastefully cos- | tumed and directed film owes its su- perior qualities to able performances by Melvyn Douglas, Sidney Toler, Lionel Barrymore and Beulah Bondi. | The nominal stars are Joan Crawford, Robert Taylor and Franchot Tone, who seem to run true to their custom- ary form. Not especially concerned with historical accuracies, the picture juggles cabinet officers, Beau Brum- | mels and political amazing dexterity, welding the lot into what may be loosely termed a high and semi-tragical romance. James Stewart and Louis Calhern are others in the cast. Delighted by Shows Enthusiasm in| Spite of Chilly BY KATHARINE BROOKS.

THE Paramount picture people have captured a fair slice of the trag- edy connected with murder by motor car in the Metropolitan’s new film, “And Sudden Death,” based on the magazine article by the same name which caused such furore not long ago. There are moments when the an- guish, the pain and the wrecked lives that derive from a moment of care- lessness are brought forcefully home by the film. There'’s the moment when a drunken driver crashes into a bus loaded with children, for in- stance. You won’t feel like doing & Malcolm Campbell out Connecticut avenue immediately after seeing & little boy carried off on a stretcher, saying he feels all right only his back hurts. He has a spinal fracture, and you realize that it could have been you behind the wheel of that car. There are other occasions when “And Sudden Death” scores with the message of the magazine article— scores without being pedagogic. The Paramount people, it appears, have, however, been afraid their film wouldn't be entertaining if they got on too high a soap box to preach against the reckless use of that dan- gerous weapon parked out in your garage, and the result is they have not given the situation the cogent treatment it should have had. The story concerns a young traffic director and a rich young girl who goes larruping about the highways 70 miles an hour when she can’t go fast- er. Her brother gets behind the wheel when he can't even see to lift the next glass, and hits the bus. Sister changes places with him and takes the blame, going to prison, until he cracks up in a car, tells the truth and dies. It is composed of the stock movie situations that were in the books when the boys were still mak- ing flickers in New York and Chicaga and despite the good moments of “And Sudden Death,” you usually are aware of the fact that -Randolph Scott, Frances Drake, Tom Brown, Fuzzy Knight and the rest went home to their beer and skittles and fancy vittles at the end of each day’s shoot- ing.

BY SHEILAH GRAHAM. vowed a few months back nev trifie fuller in face and figure H OLLYWOOD, September 5 (N.A.N.A.).—Grace Moore, cow-conscious opera screen star, is back in Hollywood—the Hollywood to which she er, never, never to return. She is a than when here last, but the added poundage will disappear before she starts work on her next flicker, tentatively titled “Interlude.” In fact, massage before I left her home. The singer brought back to the | film city some words of cheer for the ladies and two beautiful specimens of Jewelry—a brooch and bracelet with heavy gold bars joined together with diamonds. “The women of Hollywood are the most charming in the world,” declared Miss Moore. “I've visited most countries, but no- where have I found as delight- ful a cross-sec- tion of women— to name a few, Mrs. Sam Goldwyn, Ruth Chatterton, Mrs. Donald Ogden Stewart. Holly- wood women—single and married— are the best home-makers in the world. They live simply, but they have a good time. “You see, they are all in the same boat—they are all successful or mar- ried to successful men. Every one earns & large salary—consequently there is no jealousy. Mrs. X. has no “cause to nag her husband because Mrs. Z. has a better house and car. The women here all have beautiful homes and limousines.” Seen Rarely in Public. The golden-haired singer and her husband-manager, Valentin Parera, Aare living in the Stephen Ames Beverly Hills mansion. They rarely appear in public, preferring to enter- tain small parties of friends at home. “No more radio contracts for me,” the star stated emphatically. “It’s too much to expect a singer to appear regularly on the air while picture- making. It nearly killed me, and this year I shall confine my radio work to " Sheilah Graham, it was starting to disappear via the route of a few appearances only.” The most important will be portraying Trilby on the air program produced by Cecil B. De Mille, Speaking of the numerous opera | songsters now residing in the film city, Miss Moore said: “The modern grand opera singer has broken every tradition of the old school. Who | would have thought 20 years ago that opera stars would be willing to appear in pictures? Other tradition breaks equally startling—we have all kept | thin, we have brought dignity into our married lives, and there is no jealousy as to who shall sing this or that role.” Willing to Be Bossed. The golden-voiced actress and her husband recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of their wedding. In line with the Gladys Swarthout-Frank Chapman marriage, Parera is the home-life boss of his singing wife. “Women are happiest when bossed b¥ their husbands,” said Miss Moore— “but it taked a wise wife to know it.” Miss Moore owes her picture success to her husband’s insistence that she | make “One Night of Love” after she had appeared in two previous films with conspicuous lack of success. “I had my trunks packed and ready to return to New York. Valentin ordered them unpacked and persuaded me to stay. “In my next picture, ‘Interlude’ I shall again play the role of an opera star. There will positively be no ani- mals in it. (In Miss Moore's last pic- ture, “The King Steps Out,” she com- plains she had to sing to a cow from 9 in the morning to 6:30 at night.) .« » After all the fuss I made about the cow, the studio cut the $25,000 sequence. All that was left of ‘Katy’ was the wag of her tail.” (Copyright, 1936.) LIONS CLUB COMMITTEE PLANS TRAFFIC STUDY Silver Spring Group Also to Map Community Beautifi- cation.

Dolores Costello Barrymore and¢——m—————ooo George Raft are the nominal stars of | “Yours for the Asking,” but their | presence doesn’t amount to much. They’re on hand merely to provide the plot and the plot is just another story. Mr. Raft is a rather crude fellow who has battled his way to a position of some eminence as the operator of & high class gambling establishment, but despite his crudeness he has a heart of gold and wants his rough edges smoothed off, which role is a set-up for Mr. Raft because by this time he probably can play it in his | sleep. Mrs. Barrymore is still more than passably delectable and appears as what Mr. Raft is wont to call “one | o’ them 'society dames.” She is in love with George, only he can't see it until & clever young lady almost takes him for a slice of his bank roll and he is shown the light of day. * X ¥ x T IS the manner in which he is shown just where his heart ought to be and not the fact that he is shown which makes “Yours for the Asking” amusing. His three henchmen, who probably are the champion wrong- guessers of the cinema season, plant a lass who earns her living from breach of promise suits and such things, as one of the members of the “society” Mr. Raft wishes to crash, to | draw him away from the gal who loves him and then drop him—boom. They think Dolores is & bad influence on ac- count of George is trying to “lower” them to a higher plane of life. The three henchmen are James Gleason, Edgar Kennedy and Lynne Overman; the girl is Ida Lupino and | her “uncle” is Regnald Owen, and | they compose a quintet that should be as famous as the one up in Canada. They have a riot of fun, what with Gleason, Kennedy and Overman trying to look out for the boss’ welfare and getting things into a worse muddle every move they make; with Reginald Owen slinging about words that long and trying to peddle miniatures for a dollar until he finally palms off a few as “objets d’art” for a huge number of dollars; and with Ida Lupino, hav- |ing great fun, appearing, too, too ultra-ultra one minute and being one of the boys the next, as the occasion demands. “Skeets” Gallagher has a moment, too, and contributes one of the major laughs in the picture—if you've heard the story to which his speech is the :ag-une. * * * T’HE Capitol stage bill is about aver- age. The best of it is contributed by the Eno Troupe, a group of Japa- nese equilibrists, who do a balancing act that is the best seen around here in a long time and perform a few stunts that will make you sit up and take notice even if you don’t like Japanese balancing acts. The others present are Barto and Mann, who | scored with last night's audience with | their knockabout comedy turn; the Three X Sisters, who sing, and the Gaylene Sisters, who dance. The overture is a much pleasanter blend of classic, semi-classic and pop- ular melodies than some of those Phil Lampkin has turned out, and there's a song by Lew Davie.
