“Gold Diggers”
Continues Run
Still Drawing Capacity
I Crowds to State
Theater
- “Gold Diggers of 1933," Warner
Brothers' sensational hit, contin
ues to attract capacity audiences
at Warners' State where It Is now
playing n seven day engagement.
A fitting sequel to the sensation
ally popular picture "42nd Street"
Which started new styles In screen
Tare, "Gold Diggers of 1933” ac
cording to Hollywood Information
excels its great predecessor in
heauty, In catchy tunes and ''whist
ling" music, in comedy and In Its
story values. Its list of stars Is
oven more Imposing; the chorus
ensembles, directed by Busby
Berkeley, are more spectacular; Its
songs by Harry Warren and A1
Dubln, will appeal to even wider
audiences.
The names of Warren William,
Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler (Mrs
A1 Jolson) who sprang to screen
fame over night In "42nd Street";
Dick Powell. Aline MacMahon, Guy
Xlbbee, Ginger Rogers and Ned
Sparks head the superlative cast
onaembled by Warner Bros for
“bold Diggers of 1933.” Mervyn
DeRoy who directed "I Am a fugi
tive from 4 Chain Gang" and “Ri
mer the Great," directed from the
Avery Hopwood story adapted by
Brwln Oelsey and James Seymour.
"Gold Diggers of 1933" Is a
"Pack of the back-stage" story, a
dramatic and amusing Insight Into
the lives and loves of the people
primarily responsible for the stag
ing of a great New York show. It
Is an intensely human story cli
maxed by a triumphant and spec
tacular “show" In which Busby
Berkeley’s choruses of 200 picked
beauties are lavishly displayed In
dance ensembles unequalled In tho
history of stage or screen.
It is, furthermore, tho story of
three gold digging show girls Into
whose capable hands the problem
of finding an "angel" for the show
that will give them employment
and opportunity, lse entrusted. The
tricks and trades behind many a
Broadway success, are disclosed In
a whirlwind of exciting Incident
and amusing situations. The song
writing scion of a proud family
eventually Involves both his se
verely proper older brother and
the family lawyer In the Intricacies
of showmanship. All In all, it Is a
dramatically sound comedy drama
enhanced by the generous produc
tion values of the "big show."
The chorus featured throughout,
is a collection of beauty gathered
from the whole nation and trained
under the guiding genius of the
man responsible for the chorus en
sembles already famous in "The
Kid from Spain" and "42nd Street"
as well ns In numerous New York
stage revues In recent years. The
numbers originated for "Gold Dig
gers of 1933" mark the high spot
In Hollywood’s donations to the
world’s entertainment. Nothing
like them In beauty, spectacle and
daring has been seen before.

Naughty Hollywood? Hardly!
• • • ••• •••
In 11 Years, No Movie Player Has Lost Job By
Breaking ‘Morals Clause* in Contract
BY BAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer
' Hollywood—And now wo discover
that Hollywood's playboys and play
girls really are Just a flock of
goody-goodies.
Well, perhaps that's putting It
a little stron. Perhaps they are
a wee bit naughty. But there's not
a really bad one In the lot.
This deduction Is drawn after
•canning copies of contracts hand
ed to players during the lost 11
years. It was In 1922 that the stu
dio heads got together and decided
to Include In all contracts the now
famous "morality clause." And to
date, not a single player has lost
ing a clause to govern morals at
hla age.
Ann Harding and Aril**
Not Made to Sign
So tar aa I have been able to
discover, there are only two stars
In Hollywood who are frea to do
juat na they please without triolet*
lng their studio contracts
Ann Harding and George Arllsi
both balked at the suggestion that
their morals weren’t 01 the highest
standard. As a result each was
handed a contract minus the ufeUal
"morality clause."
At the time Ann was married to
Harry Bannister and Was pointed
out as one ot -the most domestic
Hollywood’* only stars
who are tree to do Jut
a* they please, so far a*
the records reveal, are
Ann Hardlny and
Goo rye Arliaa, shown
here. Taking It as an
affront, they balked at
signing contracts con
taining the “morality
danse” Imposed by the
studios and were given
contraacts with thl
clause omitted.
his contract through this clause.
The clause was introduced as a
result of the sensational Roscoe
“Fatty" ArbUckle murded trial In
San Francisco a short time pre
vious. Although Arbuckle was ac
quitted, the women's clubs of
America banned him from the
screen. Sensing that they might
some day become Involved In a
huge lawsuit as a result of just
such an occurrance, the studios
adopted the "morality clause”
which permits them to cancel the
contract of any player who becomes
Involved in a scandal which might
prove detrimental to screen value.
Contract Covers Conduct
Both Day and Night
By virtue of this clause, the
studios practically own their play
ers day and night. They are told
what work to do In the daytime
and what pleasures they can enjoy
at night. But actually It's not
quite tha tbad. There are no'cur
fews enforced and our stars have
been known to really spread tho
red paint rather thick. However,
as yet not a single one has done
anything sufficiently out of the way
to warrant having his contract
broken.
One thing about these “mor
ality clauses" Is that they are ab
solutely fair. They apply alike to
'Important stars nnd bit players.
Even the great Oarbo has one In
her contract. And It was only a
last-minute discovery that kept
such a clause out of Jackie Cop
per's contract. Imagine Jackie hav
women in Houywooa. Ana as tor
Arllss, hie character hu been spot
less for years, So why should the
studio attempt to govern It noWT
Ordtnarllly, It’s the stars who are
unimpeachable who kick about
having such clauses In their con
tracts. They don't like that Idea of
the studio "suggesting" they even
might do something off color.
Those who admittedly do some Oc
casional high stepping aren't near
ly as particular. They realise that
If they get In a Jam, they must
pay the price even If It means los
ing a fat contract.

Starred
, The program that opened at the
£a>ace theater thle afternoon,
promisee to he one of the rnoet
talked about featUrea that have
ehown In Waterbury, in some time.
Here le the 6 star picture, taken
from the aove) by Rachel Croth
era, it promleea to be one of the
greatest ploturee made ao far thle
year.
With Ann Harding and Robert
Montgomery co-starred and a sup
porting cast of Myrna Loy, Frank
Morgan and. Alice Brady, as the
principal players you have one of
the beet acted pictures of the year,
as it is readily adaptable to either
the ‘'highbrow" or the "lowbrow"
entertainment category.
The picture is a delightful adap
tion ot the'Rachel Crother stage
success, and when It is seen, you
will realise why even blase Hew
York took this show to its heart,
and really as a talking picture, it la
better than the stage show.
Miss Harding, as the under
standing, modern wife of a philan
dering husband, reminds us of her
work in "Holiday" or "Animal
Kingdom,” in fact the two women
of this sensational picture, Miss
Harding and Myrna Loy oppose
each other again and a sterling
performance results.
Montgomery is Jiis usual ad
squats self, as a young reporter,
who handles his romances as he
would a front page story. Also his
Hair for flip lines is appeased by
the orackling lines that are his in
this script.
Frank Morgan, 1s his usual de
pendable self, Alice Brady long the
toast of -the speaking stage returns
to the screen in the role ot Bridg
et, the flighty week-end hostess of
the tangled gathering. She fairly
runs away with all the soenes that
she is in and sets a pace that the
other players are breathless trying
to follow. She is sure to remain in
pictures if this is a sample ot what
she has to offer.
The story Is the triangular for
mula attacked In an original man
ner. It cohoerns a youthful ro
mance that threatens to go on the
rocks because of the Interest of the
girl in her married employer. The
young man in the case happens to
be Robert Montgomery, who engi
neers a meeting of the two women,
that creates satisfactory, If turbu
lent results.
Here is the Ideal place and show
for warm weather.

“Hell Below” to
Open at Strand
One of Outstanding Thrill
Pictures of Year
One ot the outstanding thrill
pictures ot the Year Is ' Hell Be
low," which begins a three day
engagement at Warners* Btrand
Sunday. A feature talking ploturo
to no better than Its cost and here
are Six of Waterbuty theatergoers
favorites, Robert Montgomery,
Jimmy "Schnossle" Durante, Wal
ter Huston, Madge Evans, Robert
Young and Eugene Pallette
Everything one might hope for
In a picture la to be found In "Hell
Below." There are laughs, thrills,
gasps, romance and spectacle.
Laughs that come often and hearty
are furnished by "Schnossle" Du
rante and Eugene Pallette as a
pair of sailor chums. Jimmy as
a Student of a correspondence
dental school and Pallette as his
"boss'* will positively have you
holding your sides with laughter

no money, engaging In a boxing
match with a kangaroo In order to
obtain funds for making whoopee.
Here Is a picture every theater
goer will thoroughly enjoy and for
further entertainment value the
