Single Scene and Song
Saves "The Gold Diggers"
.î'Lullaby of Broadway' Keeps Film M usicale
From Joining the "Routine Affairs' —Good
Stage Show—Secon d Week of 'Roberta.''
BV E. de S. MELCHER.
^ OLD DIGGERS OF 1935," now playing at the Earle. has
f one number called "Lullaby of Broadway" which is
I Τ definitely the best thing Director Busby Berkeley has
ever done. In it Miss Winnie Shaw, Helen Morgan's
double, comes home at 6:45 in the morning, finds a cat, the
paper and a bottle of milk at her door, goes to bed, gets up at.
7:30 that evening, steps out with Dick Powell, watches some swell
dancing, does a little dancing herself and then falls off a
slrvcoranpr
While this may sound a little mad—
and while it is a little mad—the
music, the singing and especially the [
dancing puts it on a new and high
plane for Old Man Berkeley, and it
also saves "Gold Diggers" from being
a lather routine affair.
For. with all due respect 1o Dick
Powell, Alice Brady (in her best role),
Gloria Stuart. Hugh Herbert. Frank
McHugh, Glenaa Farrell. Joseph Caw
thorn. Dorothy Dare, Grant Mitchell
and "Lullaby of Broadway." the new
edition of "Gold Diggers" is a tepid
duplicate of its sisters and its cousins
and its aunts. Mr. Powell has. with
out doubt, the most useless role of his
career; Miss Stuart supports him
capably—and while Miss Brady is
funnier than she has ever b?en. she
isn't funny enough to carry the pic
ture to any elevation.
That "Lullaby" number makes up.
too. for one of Mr. Berkeley's rarer
brain children—a scene in which a
great many grand pianos are seen
scuttling about the stage, moved here
and there by the legs of otherwise
Invisible men. Just how Warner
Bros, could have been so careless as
to allow these rambling legs to ap
pear in plain view is a great mystery.
Ycu don't even have to look closely
to see the pianos being manipulated
around by a bunch of trousers—and
the effect, whatever it is meant to be.
is frankly ludicrous.
Otherwise, "Gold Diggers" is. as
It is intended to be, lavish, occasion
ally amusing and boasting a couple
of good tunes. Miss Brady appears
as an old society frump, who is given
to fits every time her income gets
below the $100,000 mark. Miss Stuart
is her daughter. Dick Powell is a
young man continually in love, and
the Hugh Herbert-Frank McHugh
aggregation is as usual mixed up witn
one skirt after another.
But those grand pianos—heigh ho!
* * « *
"ΤΉΕ Earle stage show, headed by
the always popular Roscoe Ates,
is belter than average, due not only
to Mr. Ates, but to those two little
people you saw in "The Mighty
Barnum." Olive and George, who are
presented in an act with Buster
Shaver. Miss Olive and Mr. George,
who are no bigger than a minute, do
their Lilliputian act with command
and speed and get a great big ovation.
Georgie Taps performs his taps with
incredible speed, John and Mary
Mason, excellent roller skaters, toss
that fat girl around as they have been
doing for some time—and there are
some "Vitaphone" girls thrown in for
good measure.
Bert Granoff sings some fine Irish
melodies against a background of
Irish pictures—pictures which reveal a
very fine donkey when he is singing
"My Wild Irish Rose."
* * * *
D-K-0 KEITH'S continues to draw
Λ unheard of crowds with "Roberta,"
which is now in its second prosperous
week. Not only is this Fred Astaire's
all-time record for all-time good danc
ing. but it goes the Broadway musical
comedy one better and gives you the
Hollywood fashion show· for which
your wife has been waiting. Here you
may see all those billion dresses which
will probably never find a buyer—and
a collection of blonds and brunettes
guaranteed to knock your eye out.
Although the book is as slow as it
was on the stage and the comedy not
too brilliant, the film gets such a
boost from Fred Astaire and Ginger
Rogers' dancing that it needs little
else—except Irene Dunne to sing
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."
PATIENT ms
FAST ASLEEP
ALL THE TIME
This \lystpry Drama, at
the Metropolitan, Turns
Out to Bp a Thrillpr.
The greatest mystery about "While
the Patient Slept," the new film at
the Metropolitan, is how Richard
Federie does manage to stay wrapped
in the arms of Morpheus while I
enough comedy, confusion and shoot
ing is running rampant in the same
room to wake Rip Van Winkle and ·
β η army of incurable sleeping sick- >
ness patients.
On the other hand, the addition of
fast-moving, flippant comedy to a
standard mystery plot gives the Clue
Club's latest opus all the earmarks
of ace-high entertainment.
Pick any enigmatic plot you like,
end insert apple-face Guy kibbee as
an Irish detective (who admits he's
practically as efficient as an entire
homicide squad), punctilious Aline
MacMahon as an attendant nurse,
and staccato Allen Jenkins as a
pseudo Philo Vance who suspects ev
erybody and proves nothing, and the
result has to be entertainment.
If you still are adverse to taking
any chances, you can put In a mys
teriously disappearing, miniature
green elephant, the usual lightning
and storm effects, a few trap doors,
sliding panels and howling dogs and
you have the formula for "While the
Patient Slept," or "The Mystery of
Federie Manor." or "Five Shots at
12:30"—or what you will.
For a plot, you can have all of the
iar-flung members of a wealthy
family called to the bedside of the
pecularily sick head of the family in
his out-of-the-way manor, and then
have somebody mysteriously mur
dered. The police must be called in,
a nurse has to attend the sick man
and the chief detective must have an
assistant, so Mr. Kibbe. Miss Mac
Mahon and Mr. Jenkins arrive. The
results are pandemonium, suspense,
comedy and something akin to
romance.
By having the sick man suffer a
stroke and lie unconscious in a room
where everything takes place, you ;
are able to arrive at such an unusual
title as "While the Patient Slept."
However handicapped the film Is
by its title, a .small army of not too
important but highly efficient play
ers make it worth your while. Two
nf this army are Patricia Ellis, who
flits about to keep you guessing what
it's all about, and Lyle Talbot, who
does little very well. Top acting
honors, though, must go to the old
man, who sleeps so well.
In case you haven't managed to
fathom it yet, we liked the thing very j
well despite its title, lack of logic and j
crack-brained plot. Whether you will j
or not depends upon whether you go j
looking for mystery or comedy. The
mystery is not so hot, the comedy is
superb.
A short featuring Charlie Davis and ι
his orchestra, the Paramount news
reel and other varieties complete the
Metropolitan menu for the week.

Suit Cases.
By the Associated Press.
CALLANDER. Ontario. March 16 —
The neighborhood made famous by the
Dionne quintuplets calmed somewhat
today after a flurry of excitement
stirred by a report the children's par
ents intended to take up ' residence'
in the Da foe Hospital in protesi
against the provincial guardianshif
law.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne yester
day carried suitcases into the hospita

called to take a peek at their fm

The bill passed by the Ontario Legis

of his majesty the King'' and vests
control over them in the minister ol
welfare.
The Dionnes remained a couple oi
hours and then returned to their home
100 yards away from the hospital
They have expressed dissatisfactior

Many Curbs Surrounding

JVAN RETURNS
TO THE SCREEN
Douglas Fairbanks Im
personates Lothario in
Picture at Columbia.
Because it has the good grace to
make faces at its great lover. "The
Private Life of Don Juan" is an en
tertaining cinema charade, expertly
directed and cast with something akin
to inspiration. The tale prods the
legendary swashbuckler in two ob
vious weaknesses of his armor—in
telligence and originality.
Grown old and sligfllly fat. Don
Juan tires of climbing up balconies
to easy conquests. In middle age he
finds rope ladders quite uncomfortable,
his debts troublesome, fighting irate
lovers a nuisance. Even the most
beautiful of women have a deadly
sameness, a fatal resemblance to sev
eral score others whose names he has
forgotten. He discovers he is irresis
tible. chiefly because of popular de
mand among the fair sex, very much
as if only one model had been made
of the dernier cri in Spring hats.
When an imposter is killed in a duel
with somebody's husband the real
Don Juan gladly consents to have his
name buried for a while.
After 'njoying the salutary pleasure
of watching his own funeral, the genu
ine Don retires to a country inn, con
cerns himself with sleeping, eating and
lolling until his vanity is piqued when
a scullery maid indicates she is more
interested in his pocketbook than his
technique as a Lothario. Ere a fort
night has passed he learns bitterly
that incognito he is a flop. His at
tempts to convince various people that
he, the great Don. still lives, are an
swered with horse laughs.
Fortunately he still has an aban
doned wife lurking in the background.
She seems to have waited rather pa
tiently lor the day when her wander
ing spouse would discover that a man
with two tnins where one should be,
gray hair in the wrong places and a
slight tendency to wheeze, had best
take up some other sport, since ro
mance makes him look a little bit
funny.
Alexander Korda's aforementioned
casting genius applied itself in two
ways. First, there was the selection
of Douglas Fairbanks to impersonate
the swain, shallow and out-moded.
The second stroke was the inclusion
of three such lovely ladies as Merle
Oberon, Binnie Barnes and Benita
Hume in the chorus of Don Juan's
victims. The minor roles are given
their due by Clifford Heahersley and
Joan Gardner.
Short subjects and a comedy fill out

'Kindergarten Duse' Scores ι
Again in 'Little Colonel'
Shir] ey Temple in Story of the ΟΓ South Shows
Why She Is Hollywood's First Actress.
Everett Marshall on the Stage.
SOME of the foresighted prepara
tory schools around this coun
try used to give prizes to pupils
showing the most improvement '
in Rymnasium flip-flops or ad- |
vanced trigonometry during a school
year. If the custom were extended j
to the modern neophytes of Holly- ί
wood, there is no question but that
all the cakes and acclaim would go
to Shirley Temple, who started out
as a "baby wow" and has been im
proving in every picture of her career.
The latest of these is "The Little
Colonel," a beautiful bundle of senti
ment. mortgages, Suthun gentlemen
and faithful colored retainers, pres
ently on display at Loew's Fox. The
little colonel, you know, was the
daughter of a Suthun belle who broke
her old pappy's heart bv running
away with one of thrm Yankees. The
Yankee spouse didn't fare very wvil
I in this cruel world, and only the
I charm, heroism and tap dancing of
his baby child saved him from taking
j the whole caboodle with him to the
I poor house.
That creaking fustian, however, is
i utterly unimportant in a film where
I America's kindergarten Duse is at
! work. She plays the precocious child ;
I with such winsomeness that even the 1
ver? young trade «evident in large
numbers at the Fox yesterday) is
delighted. As children are notori
ously inclined to stick out their
tongues at overbright members of
their crowd, ' obviously she could
achieve no higher praise than the
paddy-whacking of tiny paws.
The high spots of "The Little ι
Colonel" are Shirley's dance routines
Aith Bill Robinson, the sepia hoofer.
From octogenarians to smallest snip
pets, none should miss these inter
ludes, although it Is difficult to say
whether they deliver more good, clean
fun than the imitations of an old
fashioned river baptizing, and the
little colonel's mad scramble through
ι dark forest full of phoney owls.
Stunning as the blow may be to the
heatrical tradition hounds, Lionel
Sarrymore gets second billing and

headlined by Everett Marshall, who
itarts off by singing "June in January" j
is if it were a combination of "Car
Tien" and "Marche Militaire," and
:hen settles down to some more ap- :
jropriate numbers. The "Wagon

Whatever his song, Mr. Marshall un
leashes a powerful and pleasing voice.

ROMANCE 4M)
MELODRAMA IN
THIS PICTl RE
Anna Sten ami C.ary Coo
per Have Leading Roles
in ' The Wedding Might.'
In "The Wedding Night." which
yesterday brought Anna Stcn and
Gary Cooper to the Palace. Director
King Vidor has. with a high degree of
skill, intermingled the elements of a
simple plot into a rather notable
photoplay which is both very lovely
and very sad.
This Connecticut Winter episode in
the life of a novelist is an interesting
tale of a young man who goes back
to the old homestead after his agent
has told him in plain words how ter
rible his latest book is. there to meet
and fall in love with a sturdy Polish
lass who chops wood, milks cows. and.
in fact, can do the work of two good
Polish women.
Of course, this author chap has a
wife and the healthy country girl's
father has given some doltish farm
boy a plot of ground and a few hogs
to marry up with his daughter. These
two people are the complications in
the path of true love, but things all
work out on the wedding night, when
the Polish lass gels herself killed and
the author's wife seems to be under
standing all.
Helped by three excellent character
" ; interpretations by Miss Sten. Mr.
" ■ Cooper and Helen Vinson, the adept
" I leadership of Mr. Vidor, and some
R ! pictorially perfect photography. "The
" i Wedding Night" sings smoothly along
Λ I its romantic and sad path. That is.
I up until the very climax it sings along,
and then in the last few minutes
melodrama stomps in. in the person
of Ralph Bellamy, the country boy,
who is bent upon pounding the very
daylights out of Mr. Cooper. This he
does not do. but poor Miss Sten gets
in the way and takes a fatal tumble
down the stairs, thus wiping out
right then and there the problem the
" ! motion picture was intent upon solv
| ing, consequently letting the whole
r ! thing fall a bit flat at the finish.
Each one of those three central
characters mentioned above does a
rpmarkablv expert job, but it is Mr.
Cooper who seems to stand out a
shade ahead.
The next may be in the nature of
3 a minority report, but we really prefer
■ I Miss Vinson's whimsical and under
a [ standing playing of her role to Miss
- Sten. She is excellent throughout
■ ι and nothing short of superb in two
" I or three scenes that call for extremely
- I skillful work. Miss Sten. though, is
grand. She actually lives in that
Polish girl. There are several others,
notably Ralph Bellamy and Siege
fried Rumann. who do their work well.
The Palace bill also includes a
comedy which has Sylvia Proas sing
ing and a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
