C—16 =* AMUSEMENTS. “Top of the Town’at Keith’s Is Biggest if Not Greatest New Universal Musical Has Some Excellent Features, But Sometimes They’re Lost in the Confusion. BY JAY CARMODY. OT being in the auditing department of Universal Pictures, it would be hard to say just how much was spent to make “The Top of the Town,” which opened yesterday at Keith's. You can bet, however, that it was a pretty tidy sum. Few pictures have required larger supplies of tinsel, singers, hoofers, musicians and things. ‘When you put all of these items together, what have you got? as we can come to defining it, you've<- got a palace that cost so much there was too little left over to buy furnish- ings. If it should turn out that Uni- versal laid an egg—which it probably won’t because there is enough scat- tered through the film to give it appeal—it at least could have the satisfaction of claiming that it was the largest, most brightly colored egg any one ever saw. The trouble with “The Top of the Town” is its bigness. There is too much of it. It has some mighty excel- lent features but they get lost too often about the huge premises. There is the loveliness (to-look-at kind) of Doris Nolan, the torch-singing of Gertrude Niesen, the comedy of Hugh Herbert and the Three Sailors, the dancing of Peggy Ryan and Ella Logan, the Hamlet burlesque of Mis- cha Auer, and a dozen other good details. If some one could have dragged them all together, let's say Universal, it would have had a much more appealing picture, It's dumb, of course, to ask coher- ence in a thing so glitteringly make- believe, but it is only human to regret its absence at so lavish an affair. ‘The picture is remarkably fresh in the talent it offers. There's George Murphy, for instance, in the male lead. So far as box office is concerned, he is just another Murphy. As an actor, however, he gets as much con- viction as, say, John Gielgud could into a part so loosely conceived. * % X X ND, after Murphy, there are Miss Nolan, Miss Niesen, Miss Logan and Miss Ryan. They go about their varied duties with as much vitality as you would find in a dozen persons with larger box-office appeal. They, too, however, are handicapped. They go away somewhere about the huge set at times and by the time they return so many unrelated things have happened it is pretty hard to remem- ber just where you saw them before. The result is that something which would have been swell if it had been simpler turns into & kind of I Q. test. The best way to get across the {dea of the size of “Top of the Town" rhinestones, chromium tubing, | of a socio-political flavor. board feet of lumber, Fancy things, not plain ones. As near is to mention the butlding in which it presumably is laid. It is a trick little 100-story affair with a night club, the Moonbeam Room, on the top where the stars are running their courses, Get the idea? If you have, then we can go on with the story. ‘The building is owned by an heiress who, because she is out of work and in the money, decides to go into the night club business. Not in the usual way, you understand, but because she thinks floor shows ought to have more Well, there is no way to stop a girl with that much money and that much cussedness, 80 they let her devise her idea of what ought to go with champagne. You really ought to see it. In it, there is everything that never has been in a floor show before. There’s Ham- let, for instance, reciting his soliloquies to an obligato sung by a colored choir, and a ballet dance symbolizing how sad it is for political prisoners to be sent to the salt mines. And there's a symphony orchestra! When the customers begin to walk out, don't join them—the heiress has learned the error of her way. She marries the orchestra leader and leaves the entertainment business to him forever after. Get it? * % ok X HERE is & very compact and timely “March of Time” to compensate for the looseness of the feature pic- ture, however. The current issue of this monthly pictorial journal is no end lively with its stories of the Supreme Court controversy, the fight of England to rebuild her army and end malnutrition among 22,000,000 citizens and the growth of the ama- teur sleuthing movement into some- thing like an exact science. The Supreme Court episode loses none of its forcefulness in the tactful manner in which it is handled. Last- minute editing brings the film com- pletely up to date, covering even the aftermath of the Wagner act de- cision. It is very much worth your time and your money. Briton Enjoys Murder In Capitol’s Photoplay “Love From a Stranger” Puts Ann Harding in Clutches of Killer Who Likes His Work. Casa Loma Music Tops Stage Bill. BY HARRY MacARTHUR. EFORE long the cry of the gendarmes when bloody deeds have been done will cease to be “cherchez la femme”; it will be “‘cherchez the Englishman.” This is said in all due respect to our cousins who call polka-dot ties spotted ties, but they have brought the charge upon themselves by sending to these United States a series of plays and motion pictures dealing with nothing but murder for the heck of it. ‘The Britons seem to regard murder with downright glee. large and healthy (or should it be unhealthy) school of British play and photoplay writing, it appears, the | members of which are never happier | than when plunging merrily through the psychological maze of the mind of some lad who goes about doing away with people because he finds it more fun than, say, whist or bundling. The latest item in this let's-brood- over-a-good-murder category is “Love From a Stranger,” the new melodrama at Loew’s Capitol, which brings Ann Harding back to the screen. Miss Harding seems a bit sturdier of pro- portion than when last seen in a Hollywood production, but this is just as well, for it took a pretty sturdy, girl to stand up under the strain of all the doings in “Love From & Btranger.” "LOVE FROM A STRANGER,” you see, subjects its heroine to some mighty thrilling and strenuous mo- ments. She wins the sweepstakes, then sets out to see life. She sees it by marrying & fellow who is ex- ceedingly charming at first, but who turns out to have a strange career. Well, if it isn't strange it, at least, is not ordinary. He earns his money by marrying women who have it, then playfully choking them to the death, spending the money and going on to another meate. This, under the eapable guiding hand of Rowland V. Lee, who has built some moments of suspense that are wows, makes for exciting film fare. It's well acted, too. Basil Rathbone 1s the mad murderer, and after looking upon the enthusiasm with which he | plays the role you'll begin to wonder if maybe he ought not be watched more closely in his private life. He actually seems to enjoy playing this lad, whose greatest glee derives from c-r-r-ushing women into small pieces. Miss Harding, too, has some fine mo- ments and the shriek she lets out at the climax of the thriller will have women fainting right and left and even will send chills cantering up and down the spines of cynical men who haven't believed all this business. * ok X X DAY and next week the top honors in the Capitol's stage show will be garnered by the Casa Loma Band, but at the first two shows yes- terday those honors were divided be- tween the sleek indigo music of the Casa Lomas and W. 8. Van Dyke, the chap responsible for what seems like hsalf the hit pictures coming out of Hollywood. Van’s routine was differ- ent at each appearance, according to report, but his second time on he scored an immediate and definite suc- cess as a higher-type comedian with s number of heretofore untold yarns about the humorous side of making filiums. x If we say the Casa Loma music manner is as modern as tomorrow’s newspaper we know everybody will immediately leave the room, but there's nothing more up to the min- * ok kX DINNER DANCE - Dinner $175, Sat 1 Cover 55¢.

There are songs by Kenny Sargent, who's probably the top individual star of the show, more songs by Pee-Wee Hunt, bright songs | and dances by Terry Green and it's all _something like “swell.” Others on the stage bill are Mandy and Cord, whose novel acrobatics are more than just okay, and Fred Light- ner, who is a comic and at whom some people laughed. LOMBARD-MACMURRAY BACK IN POPULAR FILM “Swing High, Swing Low” Also Gives Butterworth Good Role at Metropolitan. MONG the flyweight entertain- ments at present so popular with screen fans, “Swing High, Swing Low,” which returned to the Metropolitan Theater yesterday, must be rated as one of the season’s best. Its plot hing- ing upon the torchy sorrows and loves of a cabaret girl (Carole Lombard) and & hot trumpet player (Fred Mac- Murray), who seem to get nowhere at all without one another. The film is relieved of its sentimental burdens by the excellent comedy work of Charlie Butterworth and Jean Dixon, lifted into class A by two honest per- formances from its romantic princi- pals. Setting of the piece is Panama, then New York, with MacMurray and Lom- bard making good together in a Pana- manian honky-tonk, MacMurray going on to New York to succeed and be- come a bum at one and the same time on account of because he has not his good wife around to keep him in line. There are the usual alarms, sidestep- ping and weepy wars between the two before the reconciliation and fadeout, but even their moaning low is re- lieved by smart direction, a good musical score and the first funny role Charlie Butterwoth has been given in many a moon. Not for the serious-minded, but fine if you like swing music and careless comedy. —R. B. P, Jr. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY APRIL_ 17, 1837.

NY revival of Austin Strong's ten- der and poignant romance, “Sev- enth Heaven,” was bound to have some measure of success, for this is a tale that lives on and on and ever finds response in the heart. So it really is no great surprise to find the new Twentieth Century-Fox picturization of the tale that won fame as a stage play and a silent film now ensconced at Loew’s Columbia for a second week on F street. That is, it is no surprise to see “Sev- enth Heaven” back again unless you stop to think of the Chico and Diane of this revival of a fine romantic drama. Chico is played by James Stewart, who has shown no small amount of promise in some of his past performances and who was very good in “Rose Marie.” Chico, however, is not the same as the lad in “Rose Marie” and, while Mr. Stewart may arouse certain emotions in the hearts of the lassies looking at his image upon the screen, it must be said thaf he plays his role with much the same confidence as displayed by a card manipulator wearing boxing gloves. Simone 8imon, who plays Diane, Seems surer than Stewart at times of the meaning of her role, but while sometimes she is Diane there are other times when she is Simone Simon. This is the last place in the world, though, that you will find any complaints against her being just Simone Simon and, if necessary, we will reiterate that pledge of undying (well, practically undying) devotion. Otherwise Director Henry King has kept the tender spirit and the poignant feeling of Mr. Strong’s beautifully romantic tale of a lad who found a sweet love blooming in the drabness of & Paris slum. at t 11:30 Lecture “Seven-Fold Man” Sunday, Aprfl 18, 8:15 P.M.

There mctually seems to be a new brightness about thjs light and laughable tale of what the first day of Spring wrought to disturb every member of a large family. It is a case of an excellent casf direction combining into one of the¢- gayest, daffiest, and most sparkling pleces of the current season. Simple, human and (one suspects) universal is the essential story of “Call It & Day.” It is all about a | big family which went balmy on the first balmy day. Pagan implications are strewn all over the place as | father, mother, and the three children | fall in love respectively with a siren, | a bachelor rubber planter, an artist, the girl next door, and the long-dead Rosetti. Maybe it's implausible—and maybe it is not implausible, which it seems | wiser to think—but that will make no difference. You will like it or you have forgotten what it is like to belong to the human species. * % * X% THE film is studded (that usually is the word) with facile perform- ances. Olivia De Haviland, whose name gets the largest type in the billing of the picture, probably earns it. She is no more than two shades away from perfect as the beautiful debutante who drenches the day with tears and coyness in her unrequited love for an artist who just does not want to philander that day. And, almost as good as the lovely Olivia are Frieda Inescort and Bonita Granville. Miss Inescort plays the good wife and mother whose goodness is given the severest test of its long life when that Spring day brought the bachelor planter into her life. Miss Granville, who has been saddled with a Jot of evil parts in her brief pic- ture career, ought to be set entirely straight with her public in this one. She is fairly enchanting as the baby of the family who dreams her roman- tic dreams of Rosetti and Shelley, as little girls may rightfully do when Spring trips into the heart. Of the men, you probably will take Roland Young, who imparts just the right touch of whimsical evil to the role of the bachelor. Ian Hunter, too, is excellent as the husband who comes merely close to getting caught in the toils of that siren and goes home not quite certain whether he lost or gained in the escape. As for the rest of the cast, let it get what satisfaction it can out of knowing that it seems awfully good, even if there is not room in the paper for the various names. It takes good dialogue to drag the utmost in comedy out of the situa- tions which follow one another in such & delirious parade through “Call It a Day.” Good dialogue is what the dramsa has for every situation. A thought that keeps bobbing around in the mind is that “Call It a Day” is the sort of thing the species has needed to keep it from making an idiot of itself when the nights turn warm and the moon grows bright, * % X X 'HE stage show at the Earle reaches its happlest moment when Jane Froman comes out of the wings to look so lovely and sing so well. It is & generous repertoire of the songs you t, 8 grand comedy idea and adroit have heard her sing over the radio that she does in her personal appear- ance act. Her presence lends some- | thing to the songs that is quite an asset.

He won't, however. This is his last week. If you have not heard him it should be a must before next Friday.

Opens at the Palace “Waikiki Wedding” Thrives on Hawaiian Romanticism, Then Takes It for Sleigh Ride. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr. 8 A FIELD day for radio fans A who like to see their idols in action, “Waikiki Wedding” at the Palace Theater this week has had no peer in 1937, with the possible exception of “The Great Broadcast,” which involved virtually the same people. ‘The only addition to the agreeable collection of Paramount's cinematized radio stars is Bing Crosby, who was not in “Broadcast”; and Gracie Allen, who missed the screening of this amiable Hawalian foolishness. Bob Burns, Martha Raye, Shirley Rose, whole coveys of Hawalian danc- ers and guitar-strummers are the sup- porting props to & typical Bing Crosby story—semi-romantic, half-comic, kid- ding itself at times, at others deep in the lush mellowness of sentimental ballads, moonlight photography and the firm conviction that love will conquer all, Long on melody, photography and the convivial spirit, short on all but the most elemental comedy, “Waikiki Wedding” is perhaps most notable for its plot thesis, concerning a publicity | man who becomes the victim of one of his own stunts. Since there are not enough city editors in the world to break box-office records solely on the merits of that appeal, Director Frank Tuttle injected into the smartly paced action of his cinema vivid sketches of Hawali as the advertise- ments and tradition would have us believe it, spicing the old apple sauce with some lively native lore which may or may not be authentic. Any tendency toward stuffiness in the script is avoided, however, by a trick slant that we had best permit you to discover for yourself. Principal running gag in the story is sustained by a pig named Wafford and Hill-Billy Comedian Bob Burns. Working with both Burns and Miss Raye in a large portion of their flicker footage, Wafford proves one of the best scene stealers yet discovered in Hollywood, gets most af his laughs practically unaided, is no doubt due for a seven-year contract as soon as the box-office reports come rolling in to his employers. The song and sweetheart business of the film is carried, of course, by ‘PAUL MUNI 198 ACADENY MWARD WHmR MIRIAM HOPKINS n ‘“The WOMAN | LOVE” NEWS SHOTS OF SPORTS FEATURE TRANS-LUX SPOR'K‘S holds the upper hand among the special Pathe “clips” of local news on the current Trans-Lux program.
