“Crime of Dr. Forbes”
Now Playing at the Fox
Henry Armetta, Gloria Stuart and Robert
Kent Featured in New Film-Ozzie Nelson,
Harriet Hilliard Star in Stage Show.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.
IN "THE CRIME OF DOCTOR FORBES," now playing at the Fox, Holly
wood crusades In favor of “mercy killing.” At least It almost does—and
then It decides to let the subject down gently, preferring to have Its audi
ence and the medical fraternity make up Its own mind about a subject
Which people have been crusading for and against for years.
At anv rate, the new Fox film is not the wild-eyed mystery yarn which
you might expect from the title. It is a moderately
somber treatise (helped immeasurably by the comic
Mr. Armetta) on how a young doctor fell in love
with his boss’ wife and how the boss (also a doctor)
half killed himself while he was out in Arlaona.
and how when he wanted to die, knowing that he
didn't have long to live and suffering like biases
from pain, he asked his friends to end it all by
giving him one grain too much of morphine.
Nobody actually does this—but the young
doctor (Robert Kent) is accused of it—and this
results in a court battle which is heard around the
world. The solution need not be told you. But
it is rather wasted since the participants are all
as much scrambled up at the end as they were
at the beginning.
The best of the picture is Henry Armetta's
antics in the court room. Mr. Armetta shines again
■ *- in a typical Armetta role May mere De muie ui
him! Others in the cast include newcomer, Robert Kent, who does a satis
factory Job as the doctor, and Gloria Stuart, still beautiful, but still not a
finished actress.

rPHE Fox stage show is given over this week to popular Ozzie Nelson s Orches
A tra, to handsome Harriett Hilliard and to roll-em-ln-the-alsles Cass
Dailey. Tne result is a iasi, amusing
musical show In which all three star.
If you sit near enough to the stage
you will realise why Hollywood has
grown to be so fond of Miss Hilliard
<no, excuse us, Mrs. Nelson). Mrs.
Nelson Is not only a singer, but also
what they call a "looker.” And her
popularity, coupled with her husband's,
Is well deserved. Mr. Nelson needs,
of course, no Introduction. His music
Is pleasing and hls selections hit the
right spot. As for Miss Dailey—she’s
the music hall Patsy Kelly. She
•topped the show yesterday.
An early Thelma Todd-Patsy Kelly
comedy, the funniest so far, newsreels
and Phil Lampkin’s war-time melody
overture complete the bill.
“FURY” IS FASCINATING
STUDY OF MOB HYSTERIA
film at Columbia la Complete and
Honest Treatment of
Theme.
rT'HE phenomenon of mob hysteria is
A one of the most terrifying and
fascinating manifestations of human
emotion. Touched upon occasionally
in dramas which usually had an ax
to grind on the American race problem
this frequent, almost unique temporal y
insanity prevalent in our country has
Invariably proved a rich lode for the
theaters, excitment miners. Yet it
remained for a highly commercial
cinema corporation to give the theme
its first complete and honest dramatic
treatment. That experiment was
called ‘Fury,” and as a study In the
mass psychology of the human animal
the picture returned to Loew’s Colum
bia yesterday ha3 no counterparts in
film history
It is true there are compromises in
“Fury,” a few maddening concessions
to banality such as the misplaced
clinch in the last few feet of celluloid
On the whole, however, it is a relent
less, factual and intensely moving bit
of research into the weird caprices of
the self-righteous human mind, the
blind destructiveness of an angry
crowd, the peculiar exhibitionism
which will make a man long to outdo
in savagery a neighbor he ordiftarily
Would despise to imitate in any way.
This gruesome but enthralling ex
ploration is conducted with great skill
and perception by Fritz Lang, the
German director, who is reputed to
have fought so hard for the integrity
•f his production that the studio
severed relations with him after ne
had finished. Be therefore thankful
that it was not before, for in minute
characterization, sustained intensity
and the handling of masses. Mr. Lang
displays a masterful hand. He re
ceives great assistance from Spencer
Tracy, Sylvia Sidney, Walter Abel
<who makes the court room scene the
best in many moons) and a score of
others who lit snugly into the intri
cate plot pattern.
If you have not seen it, ‘Fury”
should be at the top of your picture
list for the week.

QUEEN ENDANGERED

New Spirit
Is Revealed
In Stanwyck
“Bride Walks Out” at
Keith’s Illogical But
Good Comedy.
WHETHER "The Bride Walks
Out,” the new film at
Keith's, approves of bud
get-bound wedlock and
kitchen-corralled wives, or favors the
frau working so she can have the
little things which are ao important,
isn't made quite clear. Throughout
the most of the picture, Miss Barbara
Stanwyck, as the bride in the case,
and Mr. Gene Raymond, as the hus
band, battle whole-heartedly. Miss
Stanwyck maintaining she has to go
back to work if the bills are to be
paid, and then at the end all is rosy
as Miss Stanwyck decides that, after
all, she can live on what her spouse
provides. She has had a tough time
before doing Just that, but in the
final fade-out she seems to have for
gotten all the preceding reels of cel
luloid.
But despite a somewhat far
fetched and illogical story, despite
the fact the tale creaks in a couple
of its joints and becomes talky at
times, and despite the fact it is the
one about a fellow who marries a
girl in the first reel and still is mar
ried to her at the end, in spite of
outside influences, even unto the hand
some lad with all the money, who,
too, loves the gal and for her com
mits the beau geste—despite all these
things "The Bride Walks Out” Is a
more than moderately amusing screen
entertainment.
It entertains because a dialogue
writer with a ready wit has been
I turned loose on the script, to pepper
it with gag lines, which for the most
part ring the bell, even if some of
them did seem to float gently over
the heads of the audience at yes
terday’s first show, without getting
the guffaws they deserved.
It entertains, also, because Miss
Stanwyck, Mr. Raymond and Robert
Young play it in that light-hearted
manner which marks enjoyable
cinema comedies. Miss Stanwyck, re
ported to have made a change from
her more serious roles to light comedy,
doesn't seem to have changed much,
unless she's a little pleasanter. She
still has a chance to storm, with one
Stanwyck tantrum having been in
cluded for the devotees of Stanwyck
tantrums.
“The Bride Walks Out” owes much
of its humor, too, to dour Ned Sparks
and dry Helen Broderick, who appear
as the top comedy married couple
of the season. These two people make
up for any and all of the picture's
faults. Some of their scenes, together
or apart, are worth sitting . through
considerable photoplay punishment,
and “The Bride Walks Out” certainly
isn't punishment; it’s a lot of fun.

Girl Dances Self to Death.
Trying to make good her boast that
she could dance the “Kolo,” the
Yugoslav national dance, longer than
the band could play it, Marija Nova

cafe in Belgrade. As the band played
faster and faster the girl whirled to
and fro with ever-increasing speed.
Suddenly she fell flat on her face—
dead. Her heart had failed.

(“PRIVATE NUMBER” GETS
MORE SIGHS AT PALACE
Wistful Film Retells a Favorite
Story in Modern Mood and
With Robert Taylor.
If the Palace plays host to Robert
Taylor a week longer It undoubtedly
will be renamed the “Salon of Sighs."
The blue-clad ushers probably shall
tear to silvers umpty-umph feet of
celluloid yclept "Private Number."
And Angle Ratto will continue to
beam at his overflowing coffers Into
which those on the distaff side happily
plunk their quarters and dimes.
Even Leo the lion, the prelude to
every M-G-M movie, looks a little
wistful this week. His growl isn’t
nearly as loud as that which ema
nates from union clubs, fraternity
houses, and bald-headed husbands
who. if they don't recognize matinee
idols when they see them on the
screen, are unhappily certain to be
given accurate descriptions by their
Aunt Ediths, their cooks, and ladles
who knit in apartment house lobbies.
The plot of “Private Number" was
concocted a few months after the
world began, but the current version
has been modernized with the addi
tion of i speed boats, robe de styles,
and false eyelashes.
The only thing in the picture which
deserves any sort of adjective is a
magnificent Great Dane which acts
rings around Mr. Taylor and Miss
Loretta Young. The Dane, Patsy
Kelly, and imperious Basil Rathbone,
who always can be depended upon
for a bit of perfection, should be the
reasons for this movie’s having been
held over a second week. But they
aren’t. Mr. Taylor, who is Don Juan
to all femmes who ever received prom
bids, and a great many others, Is re
sponsible. So be It.
The Palace Theater Is screening a
"Silly Symphony" dealing with the
three wee pigs, the tremendous,
naughty wolf and his progeny. A
“Crime Does Not Pay" film and a
rather good newsreel also are shown
before the lights go out. —M. W

He decided to ghe|Uh Graham |

Gift Shirt Produced.
! Two years ago the comedian prom
ised “Poppy's'’ producer. Paul Jones,
a shirt. Jones asked for the shirt
i during filmidfe of the picture. So
Fields brought the largest, loudest
: and cheapest he could find, brought
it to the set and ceremoniously pre
I sented it to Jones, who donned it in
1 place of the one he was wearing.
Eddie Sutherland stole the discarded
shirt and Jones had to wear the
atrocity all day. Next day Fields
r brought Jones the good shirt he really
! had Intended for the gift—blue silk
and well tailored. Jones was over- |
joyed. That afternoon Felds took it
from Jones’ office and wore it next
day at the studio. It was two weeks
more before Jones finally took pos
session.
Fields’ habit of ad libbing nearly
sent the script girls crazy. He is
likely to say anything—except what
is in the script. During the filming
of a scene he was supposed to say:
"I will now play the ’Moonlight
Sonata.’” Instead, he said: “I will
now render the allegro movement from
. i
the Duggi Jigg Sehreckensnack Opera
of Gilka Kimmel. an opus pippitone.”
Another Bit of Ad Lib.
The script girl wanted to know how
to spell it. Director Sutherland asked
what the thing meant, anyway. Re
plied Fields: “Well, I don’t know my
self To tell you the truth, it just
sprt of popped out of me.’’ It was left
in.
Another time he changed. "What a
lovely cottage." into "What a charm
ing little lean-to. Reminds me of my
wickiup on the Limb-Poo-Poo.’’ This
also was left in, but was cut later be
cause of the length of the picture.

The ingredients of a transatlantic
melodrama in in general too well
known to need Identification—scoun
drels, gendarmes, hero, heroine and
assorted comic relief. In this in
stance Miss Carole lombard is a sort
of Princess Mike Romanoff, a hand
some Brooklyn girl who could find no
better way to fame and filmdom than
to pretend to be the flower of Swedish
royalty. Her friendly little imper
sonation converted Into a nightmare
by various blackmailers, murderers,
inquisitive swains and others too
scarce to mention, she eventually
lands in New York, reduced to the
point of crying into a microphone
“Hello ma. can you hear me out there
in Brooklyn?"
This confessional further endears
her to the heart of King Mantell, an
elongated concertina player who had
been making mooey eyes, attempting
to protect her regal name and other
wise thrusting himself into the pic
ture from Southampton to Ambrose
Light. In the end we find Miss Lom
bard vigorously clinching with Fred
MacMurray. whilst Alison Sklpworth
makes bitter frlps about the two of
them.
Between the “all ashore that’s go in'
whore” and the collapse of the great
Impersonation before the microphones,
Porter Hall, Douglas Dumbrille, George
Barbler and William Frawley weave
and bob merrily amidst threats,
Broadway humor and a deluge of Miss
Skipworth’s sarcasm, delivered In her
best hoity-toity manner. The roman
tic principals also tread some rather
rugged trails, but conquer them with
fine footwork and good nature.
On the Earle stage this week will
be found a routine acrobatic act by
Prosper and Marat, Steve Evans’ ex
cellent but now time-wom imitations,
a smooth dance trio called Harris,
Claire and Shannon, and the yipee
yodelllngs of Louise Massey and her
Westerners. The latter of these acts
headlines the bill with several cow
boy numbers and Miss Massey sings
"Old Fashioned Song” as an encore.
While it had nothing to do with buf
falo and the plains, the final num
ber was by far the best of the lot.
Also a timely item for the Fourth is
a short subject entitled “Song of a
Nation," which tells with reverent sin
cerity a legend about Francis Scott
Key and the birth of "The Star
Spangled Banner.” The scene is
Georgetown. D. C.
“HEARTS DIVIDEO” BACK
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
New Happy Ending Doesn't Af
fect Film Which Is Notable for
Three Comics.
A IX decked out with a new and
honey-dipped ending. "Heart*
Divided” yesterday came to the Metro
politan for its second week downtown.
When the picture played the Earle Mias
Betsy Patterson, it is reported, had a
pretty rough time of it, yielding to
Napoleon Bonaparte's persuasive ar
guments. tossing Jerome Bonaparte
over her shoulder and back to his
France and riding off in a rowboat
with huge glycerine tears in her eyes.
(Miss Patterson's eyes, not the row
boats') At the Metropolitan, how
ever, a few feet of celluloid have been
added, Napoleon listens to his mama
like a good boy and Jerome follows his
apple-dumpling back to America and
all is beer and skittles, not to men
tion nectar and ambrosia and love
ballads in the rose garden.
Whatever ending brings "Hearts
Divided” to a conclusion, however, is
not so important. The ending does
not affect the three reasons for see
ing the film. These reasons are named
Charlie Ruggles. Arthur Treacher and
Edward Everett Horton, as looney a
trio of gallants as ever dipped three
beaks into a pair of mint juleps and
a milk punch. They sit on the ve
randa with their beakers, they fall
out of apple trees, they wage a duel
with a punch bowl (its contents, that
is) and they propose to Miss Betsy,
but whatever they do, they’re a riot
while they do it.
Claude Bains is the fourth reason
for seeing the film. His Napoleon is
just enough to make you eager for
the time Hollywood gives him the role
to do in a picture based on the Em
peror’s life.
But through all this, Dick Powell,
try as hard as he will to conceal
it with his enthusiasm, still seems a
bit uncomfortable under all that hair
and all dressed up in those fancy
clothes. He also seems a bit uncom
fortable as he ardently wooes Miss
Marian Davies, who meanwhile cavorts
capriciously with her mouth ajar just
enough to indicate the breathlessness
of young love. H. M.
