C—16 * AMUSEMENTS. Earle Theater Brings the Silly Season to Town Both Stage and Screen Fare Hilariously Foolish This Week, Thanks to “Turn On the Moon” and California Collegians. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. HE Silly Season is upon us with a rush at the Earle Theater this week, prattling prettily on stage and screen in a series ‘of didoes which I heartily urge you to investigate. Less staid and sober en- tertainment has seldom been gathered together under one roof than will be found in a flippant musical farce called “Turn On the Moon” and in the melodious foolishness of the Cali- fornian Collegians. So be it, and praise be that it is so. “Turn On the Moon” tells with much gusto and no little nonsense of the tribulations of a department store owner named Mr. Dinwiddy, a fellow harassed by horoscopes and portrayed with accustomed skill by Charlie Rug- gles. 1t is Mr. Dinwiddy's hope that he will be able by a certain night to fulfill the prophecies of his chief star- gazer, bringing together in dulcet ro- mance a young couple and thereby earning for himself the right to espouse his cynical secretary, who has been waiting for wedding bells a mere matter of 15 years. On this flimsy and amiable pretext the Paramount filmusical builds up to a series of uproariously inane comic sequences (by Ben Blue and Mr. Ruggles), pleasant songs and dances (Eleanore Whitney and Johnny Downs), a miniature revue within a revue, one splendid impersonation cf Charles Laughton by a hefty gent yclept Romo Vincent, one perfectly terrible song number delivered by the same old Romo. Other characters in a drama that takes itself about as seriously as a paper sailboat in a typhoon are Marjorie Gateson, Andrew Tombes and Grady Sutton. Aside from Lewis Seiler's flip and able direction, chief distinguishing notes in the cinema are the lyrics and music by Sam Coslow, the emergence of Ben Blue as a full- fledged screen comedian (he played in short subjects for years), and the fact the whole production was designed by Fanchon, feminine half of the famed team of Fanchon and Marco, and now one of the few (perhaps “only” is the word) woman producers in Hollywood. S FOR the California Collegians I would like to say a few irrational words. They have a good swing band, one of the neatest comedy. turns of any musical ensemble now in vaudeville (or in pictures or in Pango Pango either, for that matter), and I should think Mr. Fred MacMurray, the very hot stuff movie hero, would look back with a certain nostalgia upon the days when he was with the boys as a saxophonist, rolling around stages imitating a sea lion or other- wise disporting himself in no sensible way when not busy tooting a saxo- phone. The Collegians’ final show last night was far more fun than some of Mr. MacMurray's pictures have been, for me at least. Completing the stage bill is the pleasant turn known as Louise Massie and her Westerners—cow boy songs and things like that, and a curtain raiser consisting of a fair balancing act. Bride School Expands. Oldest institution of its kind in Tokio, Japan, the Ochanomizu Ka- teiryo, which trains graduates of girls’ secondary schools for their futures as housewives and mothers, has extended its course to a year. The principal classes are devoted to sewing and do- mestic science. As foreign-style dress is increasing in popularity, two hours a week are assigned to that subject, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Preston Foster likes his role—or, in his words, “what there is of it,” in “Pirst Lady,” the Warner Bros.’ starring vehicle for Kay Francis. “It's | ®& woman's picture,” says Preston sadly. He brightens when discussing | the charms of his 68-foot yacht. “I sleep on her every day of the Sum- mer—even when I don't leave the studio before 11 o'clock at night.” Foster began his acting career at ‘Warner's five years ago. “It took a long time to get going—and I hope 1t ends as slowly,” he tells me. Pres- ton wants to make movies another seven years. “After that, it's a life on the ocean waves for me.” His big scene, in the boudoir of Miss francis, is ready to begin. Kay, who wears & brown velvet negligee, man- - ages to pour tea and kiss the lips of husband Foster . . . the calmest per- son on the set is Director Stanley Logan, who apparently does nothing but watch his puppets work. “I've ‘worn grease-paint so long myself,” he eays, “I know how it is.

Jean chuckles and leans back in the wreaths of phone cords. “Oh, Jean, there’s a call for you on the set phone,” says Director Mitchell Leisen. ‘‘Oh, yeah? Well, tell them I'm still in the Sahara,” replies Miss Arthur. (Copyright, 1937, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) BRADY GANG ELUDES INDIANA POLICE NET Hunt Intensified After Death of State Trooper From 23 Bul- let Wounds. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, May 29.—Alfred Brady, diminutive, swaggering desper- ado, and his small band of quick- shooting outlaws, continued to elude a far-flung search yesterday, a hunt in- tensified by Indiana State policemen after the death of their fellow officer, 33-year-old Paul V. Minneman. Minneman, a State trooper for two years and a bridegroom of only five months, died last night at Logansport from 23 bullet wounds inflicted by guns of the Brady gangsters, who am- bushed Minneman and a deputy sheriff. Elmer Craig, the deputy, shot in the foot and chest, was expected to recover. The State officer’s death was the third laid to the hands of the Brady mobsters—Brady, James Dolhover and Clarence Lee Shaffer, jr, who also were accused of killing a Piqua, Ohio, grocery clerk and an Indianapolis po- lice sergeant. The ambush of Minneman and Craig climaxed an automobile chase of the gangsters following the $2,500 robbery of a bank at Goodland, Ind. RS i, Bigger Lottery Sought. Serious financial condition of many hospitals in New Zealand and increas- ing demand for larger public health expenditures hs¥e led to public agita- tion for an extension in the scope of the government lottery and an upping in prizes. The Consolidated Revenue, in charge of the lotteries, has just re- ported in Sydney that last year it received $3,680,000 for the hospitals from 74 lotteries. [ 3 |in the jungle and animal life in the | MRS. MARTIN JOHNSON TELLS OF BORNEO TRIP Lecture on Exploration Taken ‘With Late Husband Delights and Interests Audience. RS. MARTIN JOHNSON has re- turned to the lecture circuit, presenting photographic gems of her last expedition with an illustrious explorer husband. She reached Washington yesterday, and an en- thusiastic audience in Constitution Hall heard her speak with enthus asm, saw another excellent cinemato- graphic rendition of white man’s life Jjungle. Mrs. Johnson did not speak exten- sively, but she spoke with spirit, mani- festing a persisting interest in the | pursuit which has kept her occupied | for many years—the stalking with | camera of beasts, large and sma]l,\ in the countries which are but fasci- | nating names to the overwhelming majority of Americans. She used | her time relating amusing anecdotes | gathered from the full store of jungle ! experiences and presented something | of the backsround of the film which | followed her talk. A charming stage personality, Mrs. Johnson was well | received; her native chant was an obsorbing novelty. The last expedition took this famous duo to Borneo, and it is with that land of winding rivers and dense foliage that the celluloid is concerned. From over 100,000 feet the footage has been edited down to 8,000, rep- resenting a completely coherent story of the trip. An appreciable enhance- ment to the presentation was "the | narration of Sound Technician Til- ton, companion of the Johnsons. Til- ton delivered an interesting explana- tion of the film wherever such was desirable or necessary, according full value to the more dramatic moments. There are dramatic moments, most of them furnished by the extended chase of a giant orang-outang, culmi- nated in its final though perilous cap- ture. Humor is supplied by the schnozzolic (to coin a few syllables) proboscis monkeys—they have the noses. A well-planned and enter- taining program. —C. A M. TRAFFIC FATALITIES DECREASE IN APRIL Total of 2,730 Is 4 Per Cent Under Preceding Month—Four- Month Total Rises. Br the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 29.—A 4 per cent decrease in traffic fatalities during April, as compared with the preceding month, was cited by the National Safety Council yesterday as the first reduction for the period in five years. April fatalities numbered 2,730, com- pared with 2,840 for March, the council announced. The April reduction, however, was not large enough to bring the death total for the first round months of 1937 below that for the corresponding period of 1936. By May 1 this year, 11,360 persons had been killed, a 21 per cent increase over the 9,410 total for the first four months of the pre- vious year. With 68 fatalities in April and 264 in the first quarter of 1937, Chicago held the title of the “deadliest city” in the United States. New York had 249 traffic deaths during the four-month period, with a fatality rate of 10.4 per 100,000 residents, the lowest registered by any city of more than 500,000 population. Quincy, Mass,, with a population of 71,965, was the largest city without a traffic death up to May 1. California led all States in deaths during the four months with 944, American toys may be introduced into Johannesburg, ‘South Africa.

NAt. 4712 | Tracy’s Fine High Light of Capitol’s Film [z Performance Franchot Tone and Gladys George Score, Too, in “They Gave Him a Gun”’— Craw- fords and Phil Regan Top Stage Bill. BY HARRY MacARTHUR. W HEN W. S. Van Dyke was here recently he could be induced at almost any time of day or night to hold forth on the subject of Spencer Tracy. Mr. Tracy, Van Dyke claimed (and probably still claims), is the best darned actor in Hollywood, bar none, not even Donald Duck. At the time, Van Dyke had only recently completed his directorial job on “They Gave Him a Gun,” and the film now has come to the Capitol that you might see for - yourself the performance which had | Van singing Tracy's praises. And it's a performance which prob- ably will have you singing praises, too, for Tracy's characterization of a hard lad filled with heart is honest | and sincere and always believable. | He doesn't slip at any moment in the picture and he makes you like the chap and feel for him even at those occasional times when the script would | have let a lesser actor down. There are a couple of sequences which would scream of hokum but for Tracy’s quiet skill and sure hand at guiding drdma into its proper moods. The other chap in this melo- dramatic story of a boy whose cow- ardice was turned to false courage when war taught him to use a gun and who couldn't do without a gun when there was no more war, is Franchot Tone. He, too, does a fine Job. | There's not much room in the part for gaining audience sympathy and Tone doesn't try to get eny. He Just gets his teeth into his role and goes to work. Also there's Gladys George, as the girl caught between two men, and her portrayal, for all its being something of a somber role, is a sincere one that must have Hollywood gloating over the stage for having snapped her up at long last. Van Dyke's directorial job shows the touch of a sure hand, too, s0 it probably isn't fair to complain about the script when these four people have been s0 successful at making it into an exciting film. But there are a lot of times when the darned thing Jjust doesn’t quite ring true. * ok ok X \THE Capitol's stage show is a bang- up affair from beginning to end. It opens with a flash of fine dancing by the Five Tip-Top Girls, and it closes with a flash of fine music by |Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Crawford. Yesterday afternoon's audience couldn’t seem to get enough of the Crawford tunes from a pair of elec- tric organs, which, of course, is un- derstandable, because Jesse and his | handsome brunette wife have a whole | flock of sweet notes at the tips of their fingers. And Phil Regan has a whole flock of sweet notes at the tip of his tongue and he probably could sing until his tonsils fell out without tiring any eardrums. (If you make Mr. and Mrs. Crawford play long enough, Phil will come back for another song.) With those two headline acts you wouldn't expect much more, what with vaudeville being in the state it is, but Gene Ford has dug up other topnotch performers. Such perform- ers as the Lime Trio, for instance, whose novelty number is so good and so different you could watch it a dozen times without tiring of it. And there's Popeye, the Sailor, with fun for the family trade and plenty of humor for everybody in his take- off of the opera, “Carmen.” Those Tip-Top Girls are mighty good, too, {and one of them does a really excel- lent acrobatic-control routine. Strong, Silent Mr. Taylor Again a Hero at the Palace “This Is My Affair” T eams the Boy Wonder With Barbara Stanwyck in “Atmos- phere” Melodrama. N THEIR investigations of littlel known heroes in American his- tory, the picture people have now unearthed a gallant chap namcd‘ Lieut. Richard Perry, U. S. N, who | passes his time on the screen of Loew’s Pa]nce this week in endless pursuit | of'a gang of ruthless bank robbers. Selected by President McKinley to| trail down these snakes in the grass, these snarks in the dark, our Mr.| Perry (Robert Taylor) goes about his | business with the sure technique of a hero and a screen lover, combining romance with deeds of valor and eventually almost getting strangled | for his trouble. It is not kind to| suggest that this could have happened | in “This Is My Affair” wihout elimi- nating the best actor from the cast, but what time is this for kindness when our country’s fair name is at stake, ta ra? Maybe we get a bit ahead of our- selves here, another trick that is & good one if you can do it. But hold, my hearties, until you hear that Lieut. Perry foils the dirty dastards, wins the fair (only fair) maiden as imper-| sonated by Miss Barbara Stanwyck, | | of the musical hall life of another era | | comedians; and winds up in Arlington Cemetery | many years later, pushing up the daisies. In that portion of Lieut. Perry's ex-| ploits covered by “This Is My Affair” the principal amusement items are a series of brave, faithful reproductions | —from singing waiters to baggy pants | Sidney Blackmer's * mar- velous portrayal of President Theo- dore Roosevelt, a characterization that | surely will not be forgotten when the | Hollywood accolades are being tossed about at the ehd of 1937; some rlthcri amusing criminal exploits, in which | the culprits are properly geared to the | times, both slow and quaint. Purely an atmosphere picture de- signed to give the team of Taylor and | Stanwyck a new setting, a new series of costumes, a fresh twist in their ro- mantic antics, “This Is My Affair” reeks of background, fancy dress, luh-uv in bloom, is nevertheless nota- ble for entirely different reasons. Villains in the piece are Victor Mc- | Laglen and Brian Donlevy, the musi- cal score is by Gordon and Revel, the production by Twentieth Century-Fox. Monarch’s Twin Makes Fun in Film “Prince and Pauper” at Metropolitan for Week. HERE is a bigness, an impres- sive dignity and a tone of authenticity,about “The Prince and the Pauper,” now at the Metropolitan for another downtown week, which may detract from the note of lighter fantasy with which Mark Twain’s story was imbued, but it's a picture to be seen, anyhow. It's a picture to be seen, because it's filled with swashbuckling adven- ture, and it has hardly a fault, un- less you may deem it a shade over- long. That complaint has been made, but the film did not seem so to us last night. There are moments, to be sure, when things might happen faster and when the director has seen fit to explain too much instead and Billy, are, of ceurse, perfect as the prince and the pauper, for Bobby resembles Billy (or vice versa) king's realm. care soldier of fortune, who puts the | who is flawless as a' court vulture; Montagu Love, a more human Henry VIII than you ever saw before; Hen- ry Stephenson, Barton MacLane and & host of others, all good.

It has a story, to begin with, because Mr. Mark Twain seems to have had a knack for writ- ing yarns that hit the spot. It has humor, it has drama, it has excite- ment, and it has the pomp and cir- cumstance expected of a cinema deal- ing with kings and courts and Tudor England. THEATRE PARKING sPM.TO 3&g 1AM.
