B—16 #» AMUSEMENTS. Palace Picture Reunites Gable and Crawford But Synthetic Quality of ‘Strange Cargo’ Is Too Much for Principals And Generally Excellent Cast By JAY CARMODY. “Strange Cargo,” which opened yesterday at the Palace, has the services of Clark Gable, Joan Crawford and an otherwise talented cast, but it also has a story .which not even the best efforts of those involved can keep from having a highly synthetic look. When it all is over, one has simply seen the cast struggling with a plot that is too much for every one, the audience as well as the players. Based upon the novel, “Not Too Narrow, Not Too Deep,” by Richard e ————— S ——— Bale, “Strange Cargo” is concerned with a group of singularly unat- tractive people in a penal colony in South America. The one thing that might make them appealing is their relation with a kind of mys- terious stranger, a representative of Heaven, whose purpose is to achieve their regeneration. No one like the mysterious stranger has appeared on the screen since Mr. Brink in “Oh Borrowed Time,” but whereas Mr. Blank Books You're sure to find the size and style suited to your fleed in our cqmplete stock, Phone for Yree Deliveryi E.

Both Gable and Misé Crawford dispense with their high standards of attractiveness in an effort to forestall such a fate for the gooi man lost among so many bad people, but it is to no avail. Never does the thing look quite right, not even when Frank Bor- zage’s direction borrows heavily from the method of suspense which proved so highly successful in “Mutiny On The Bounty.” A melodrama, “Strange Cargo” fpresents Gable as an unregenerate inmate of a French penal institu- tion in South America. A thief, the one thing he can steal in that en- vironment is liberty and the whole setup is devised to justify his ef- forts in that direction. Never, how- ever, does it earn him any sympathy for every turning of the story indi- cates that, as the unduly tough citi- zen whose love for Miss Crawford manages to be singularly unattrac- tive, he is getting no more than what is coming to him. Moreover, it comes quite slowly, even tediously, despite the efforts of Borzage's di- rection to avoid just such a fate for the story. “Strange Cargo,” which presents her as a hard-boiled dancer in what might be the business section of Devils Island—although it is not stated as such—gives Miss Craw- ford one of those roles which re- sembles the best things in her past. Hard does she fall for the tough convict played by Gable, but the result is to make every one uncom- fortable with her effort to make the romance sound real. Never for a moment does he sound like a per- son who was worthy of the affection which she bestows upon him, which, of course, is not to the discredit of Miss Crawford nearly so much as to Lawrence Hazard, who made the screen adaptation of Sales’ story. On his part, Gable gives a great deal of energy to the role of the| convict who resists furiouslv the effort of the mysterious Cambreau to make him see that he carries within himself a resemblance to man made in the image and likeness of Diety. As the leader of the escap- ing criminals, he is his usual mus- cular self, but he still lacks the strength to carry a story which is too heavily burdened with a spirit of redemption that never comes off. Co-operating fervidly with the| principals in the effort to make the project a success are some of the most capable persons available to M-G-M. In the role of Cambreau, who never is quite understood by either his associates or the audience, Ian Hunter gives a valiant perform- ance. So does Albert Dekker, new- est of the Hollywood horror special- ists, in the part of the brutal Moll, Peter Lorre as the craven stool pigeon, and Eduarde Ciannelli as the confused criminal who is trying to find his spirtual self and con- stantly failing right to the end. None of them, however, succeeds | in rescuing the story from arti- ficiality, nor the photography from | the same unfortunate effect. | “Strange Cargo” simply does not | | At the Trans-Lux | Trans-Lux front pages, too, this| | week.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1940. Tyrone Power Gets Rough In New Film at Capitol ‘Johnny Apollo’ Role Suits Him; Ed Sullivan’s ‘Stardust’ politan.

Really Mr. Power should be happy with 20th Century-Fox for permit- ting him this visit with the other half, this excursion into the realm of the gangster, the district attorney and the night club torch singer. For Mr. Power wears with the same ease with which he wears his well- tailored tweeds this role which al- lows him to be his own age in his own time. One almost can believe the young historian when he comes to us ag Johnny Apollo; that is, one can belleve him as much as one can believe anything about a prison melodrama which is not too far re- moved from the routine. And “Johnny Apollo” is not so far removed from the routine that it would need its roller skates to get back. It is about a father who is convicted as an embezzler and his son who turns to crime the more easily to arrange a parole. Father and son spend considerable time at odds for various reasons, hut finally after much harsh language, a roar- ing battle sufficient gunplay and an attempted prison break they see eye to eye. The bright vista of the future stretches out toward Miss Lamour. .Edward Aronld is the father ‘The Doctor Takes By ‘Gentlemen, Be ing the affair a considerable im- provement on tke original presented by Harry Anger a year ago. “The Doctor Takes A Wife,” star- ring Loretta Young and Ray Mil- land, carries the stamp of Columbia | Pictures, which is going rather ener- getically about the business of being | comical these days. The basic idea is that although there is a lot of talk currently about living alone and liking it, it really does not mean very much. The girl who lives alone, naturally, is Miss Young, and the gentleman who sees that she does not have to exist perpetually in that state is| Mr. Milland. The process of bring: ing them together is not neces sarily the most original thing that | ever came out of Hollywood, but | it does have its rather merry mo- | ments in & somewhat conventional way. Moreover, the dialogue which George Seaton and Ken Englund provided shows again that censor- ship has sharpened the wits of those who have the responsibility for put- ting a bright face on situations with which movie audiences have become familiar. ‘When the-story opens, Miss Young is no more than a successful writer, an author whose inventiveness is quite up to the idea of hitch-hik- | ing back to New York when her | publisher insists that she return for & conference. Involved in the en- terprise is the young man hopeful of & college teaching appointment, a fellow whose academic yearnings make him a ready tool for the publisher when the latter decides what his business needs is a story on the virtues of domestic life. The attendant complications are no more inspired than the conventional tri- angle, but the way they are handled gives them a quality of freshness that is quite satisfactory. Miss Young, who has not been notably blessed with good parts either before or since she decided to become a free lance player, has one of her better opportunities to be dramatic in “The Doctér Takes A Wife.” She seizes it to prove that she is capable of doing more than looking lovely. So, indeed, does Milland, whose career is another that has not been singularly rich in good roles recently. Rendering major assistance to the principals in the somewhat wacky comedy is Reginald Gardiner, who cut quite a niche for himself on the stage several years ago with that series of imitiations which reached its climax in Gardiner’s impersonation of wallpaper, remem- ber? Also handy to the cause is Gail Patrick as the frustrated flancee of Milland, together with such funny fellows as Edmund Gwenn, PFrank Sully, Gordon Jones and George Metaxa. Alexander Hall directed “The Doctor Takes A Wife” and did a good job of putting a new face on a story that is not precisely new * ok ok X One’s reception of “Gentlemen, Be Seated” depends upon how much nostalgia one has in his system. There is no question that Gus Van and Slim Timblin are just the fellows who are needed to inject the old-time flavor into Producer Anger’s latest version of minstrelry. As interlocutor, Mr. Van is not en- dowed with the best of material, but with Timblin and Lou Lubin as end men, he gets the best possible re- sults out of that which-has been given to him. Lubin, incidentslly, does a Bill Robinson type of dance which is one of the most effective bits on the stage bill. Dancing in the minstrel show is taken care of by the Hudson Won- ders, a group which makes a very vital addition to the show. Banjo and ukelele music is offered by Roy Smeck, whose own arrange- ment of “Careless” was one of the high lights of the show last night. A sextette does some rather inter- esting things with numbers suitable to such & show as “Gentlemen, Be Seated,” especially with “Glory Road.” The Roxyettes, as usual, perform 12:30, 2, 3:30, 5, 6:40, 8:10 and 9:40 pm. ‘Trans-Lux—News and shorts; con- tinuous from 16 a.m. . ¥ ’ their part of the program with skill | tinguished audience. -the and verve, their best effort being tapped off to the tune of "?lxis"’ .

Arthur Rubinstein, celebrated Polish pianist, giving of his art as| contribution to the Paderewski fund for Polish relief, played superbly last evening at the Polish Embassy before a large and dis- In an inspired mood that all too rarely is to be found in recitals of any kind, Mr. Rubinstein dazzled his listeners with his extraordinary virtuosity, awed them with his musical insight and moved them with the music. His “Chaconne,” Debussy’s “La Cathe. dral Engloutie,” “On Dine and “LIsle Joyeuse,” and a Barcarolle, Valse, Mazurka and Polonaise by Chopin. In whatever Mr. Rubinstein plays, the ardor of his temperament glows with an infectious fire. It gives | & tremendous ring to massive chord passages and flashes brilliant runs like a dart of lightning or bring a special warmth to poetic expression. Its dimensions appear to be bound- less yet it is never forced but is spontaneously born of the music itself. He is far the most fascinating pianist heard here in some time and there is no evidence of pedantry in his playing but a special musical grasp is always present to arrest the attention. This was particularly felt in his polyphonic treatment of the “Cha- conne.” The structure of this great work was built with sweep and power yet its many elements were defined with extraordinary clarity. In its tremendous breadth and no- bility there was room for the de- tails which in Mr. Rubinstein’s manner of handling rivaled the ef- fects which his prodigious pianistic equipment alone would naturally have. Again, in the “Polonaise,” where the lightness and fleetness of his octave work must necessarily astound, the infinite care for con- trasted color was of equal import- ance. . The Chopin group held a particu- lar chagm both in sentiment and manner of execution, with a far finer result than the three Debussy numbers achieved. While the deli- cately indicated ideas of Debussy cagme forth with rather too posi- tive a pronouncement, the Chopin was cast in each changing mood, with - exquisitely expressive tonal color and a bouyant lightness or robust fire as needed. Here once again, the understanding of the guiding sentiment took precedence over the astonishly virtuosity, that scintillated or thundyered forth with breath-taking brilliancy, and shone, jewel-like, amidst the brilliancy of execution. Several encores were generously added by Mr. Rubinstein to his pro- gram, ending with De Falla’s “Ritual Fire Dance,” where no better fllus- tration could be had of this gifted artist’s deep musical comprehension than the way in which he gave new life to this much abused work. The atmosphere was electric during his playing and the thrilled audience vociferous in giying vent to its feel- ings. The recital was sponsored by Washington Committee for Polish Relief. Dance Tomorrow Night A benefit dance will be held to- morrow night, from 9 o'clock until midnight, by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Italian World War Veterans Re- lief Association in Knights of Co- lumbus Hall, 920 Tenth street N.W. Proceeds will go into a fund for establishment of a home for the as- sociation. A sentiment | | and fire which he poured into the program was a short| | one, consisting of the Bach-Buson Adolescent Woes Fill ‘Seventeen’ Jackie Cooper in Tarkington Film At the Met Those serious problems of the soul, the heart and the purse of the adolescent have been made less a mystery day by day since the im- mense popularity of Andy Hardy first made itself known. By this time even the most mature movie- goer has become vastly familiar again with the forgotten first pangs of puppy love and the kindred emo- tions and financial harassment which it entails. So it should be no surprise that “Seventeen,” the film version of the Booth Tarkington story which is the Metropolitan’'s | new attraction, comes to us as slight- ly less than fresh and sparkling. It's engaging enough, but the bloom has been taken off the ad- ventures of Willie Baxter—just an- other case of the original turning out to be an imitator of its imi- tators. Willie is turned from his orderly pursuits by the arrival in town of the utterly sophisticated Lola Pratt of Chicago. Miss Pratt demands a more attractive automo- bile than Willie's slogan-bedecked menace to traffic; she demands an escort in evening clothes. These are serious problems to a young man swooning with the great love of his life and not to be regarded with humor in his presence. problems to us by this time, Director Louis King and his players manage them with enough spontaneity that Seventeen” becomes rather a pleasant diversion. Jackie Cooper does a top-notch job as the adoles- cent Mr. Baxter and Miss Virginia look at her from the vantage point of 18 years or more. Also there are Norma Nelson as the brat of a sister, Ann Shoemaker as the under- standing mother and Otto Kruger as the father who takes some time to fathom his son. H. M. ‘Grapes of Wrath’ Now at Columpia No film for the faint of heart or the escapist who would have the cinema gloss over life’s cruel realities, “The Grapes of Wrath” is as distinguished a photoplay as you have seen in many seasons and it is a pleasure to find it now at Loew’s Columbia for a third week on F street. There is nothing pretty about this picture but there is honesty in every inch of it. It preaches no sermons; merely points reportorially at the plight of those migrants uprooted from their lives by the “dusters.” It solves not the problem, as John Steinbeck did not attempt to solve it in his novel from which the film was adapted. The drama of “The Grapes of Wrath” will get a savage hold on you and an unrelenting one, but it still is a motion picture you should [have the courage to face. Director John Ford, Script Writer Nunnally Johnson and the players (principally Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, John Carradine, Dorris Bowden and Charles Grapewell) have endowed their translation of Steinbeck’s dark and brooding tragedy with an integrity all too rare. The result is a photoplay which is so close to life, at least to a deplorable part of life in our times, that you will not soon forget it. H M. Deanna’s New;ilm Stays Third Week Popular young lady, this Deanna Durbin. Her latest photoplay, “It's & Date,” remains now for & third week at R-K-O Keith’s, which Miss Durbin’s admirers agree, is as it should be. “It’s a Date” is an en- gaging and politely comic tale, its star sings several times both in the popular and in the classic vein, and altogether this is a worthy successor to Miss Durbin’s previous pictures. This time she is the young daugh- ter of an actress, unwittingly placed in competition with her mother for the leading role in a new play. Meanwhile mother is unwittingly providing competition for her daughter for the hand of the man who, in her youth, the lass thinks is in love with her. Miss Durbin, Kay Francis and Walter Pidgeon dance through all this blithely, airly and with full good humor. It's a pleasure. HM But even though they are familiar | Field is a Lola to win the hearts of | the lads who flock to her front | porch and the shudders of all who | It is Tyrone Power now who invades that field of the cinema where Jimmy Cagney has shone for us so brilliantly. Mr. Power goes tough with the toughest of them in “Johnny Apollo,” the new fillm at Loew's Capitol, facing some very rough gentlemen with the proper disdain, rebufting the advances of Dorothy Lamour until the last possible mo- ment and throughout maintaining his composure admirably as fists > throughout this otten exciting tra- vail. Deprived by the rigors of tife drama of his great, booming laugh, he still manages a vigorous invest- ment broker turnea embezzler, turned then to manhood as he takes his prison medicine and looks toward & better way of life ahead. Most Interesting of all the people of “Johnny Apollo,” however, is Charles Grapewin's Judge Brennan, He is the mob’s moutlipiece, also its omen of ill. The start of one of the judge’s binges is the signal that trouble of some sort is afoot. The binges find him always quoting Shakespeare to his elephants, while on a diet of scotch and milk, pre- sumably because the latter will be what he needs after the quantity of the former he consumes and he might as well do it all at once. Quite a guy. Lloyd Nolan is quite a guy, to0o, though seen as just one of his standard gangsters. LR Ed Sullivan’s “Standard Caval- cade” .is notable for several things other than the fact that the fellow who thought up the name for it did not know that a cavalcade is a pro- cession of persons on horseback. It is notable principally for presenting several talented people and for Mr. Sullivan’s good sense in being one movie columnist who has taken the advice he probably has passed out in his time and not tried to do a show without what the boys call “material.” Mr. Sullivan’s show has been written, not tossed together, and he knows his way about a stage well enough that you'd never think N Toeday 2130 Tonight 8:30 ALFRED LYNN LUNT - FONTANNE i ROBERT E.
