‘Lord Jeff,’ on Palace Screen,
Is Finely Balanced Fare
Freddie Bartholomew, Growing Rapidly,
Gives Bright Performance in Tale
Of Reformed Boy Crook.
By JAY CARMODY.
IF IT is a pleasant kind of heartbreak that is your taste in movies this week,
“Lord Jeff” at the Palace, is the picture to jot down on your calendar.
No “Captains Courageous” (but then who said it was), the picture is of
the same genre and constitutes a nice vehicle for the exhibition of the
growing talents of Freddie Bartholomew, for some spirited miming by the
exuberant Mickey Rooney, and for the introduction of Terry Kilbum, one
of the most appealing kids the screen fr--—-’
has encountered in years.
It is a good story and a fine cast of
youngsters and adults that Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer has fused to make
*‘Lork Jeff” worthy of general atten
tion.
The scene is the somewhat fresh one
of the British institution which trains
youngsters for the nation's proud mer
chant marine. Into it is introduced
a rapidly growing up Freddie, who
chooses the school, Russel-Cotes, as
an alternative to the reform school
whose doors had been opened to him
through a youthfully enthusiastic life
of crime. Once more, in his first con
tact with the rough surface of the
world, Freddie comes to the audience
as a snob just as he did in “Captains
Courageous.” The remainder of the
story is how the school brought out
w’hat is called the “good stuff” in him
and enabled him to triumph over the
obstacles set in his way by the early
training of a couple of arch society
crooks..
The character is one that requires
quite some acting, but Freddie is the
master of its very fine shading. When
it is up to him to be downright loathe
some in his snobbishness, he becomes
downright loathesome. Conversely,
when life and circumstance start to
wallop the meanness out of him, he
takes his beating like the best child
actor in Hollywood. Even when the
story has tendencies to veer too strong
ly toward the sentimental side, he
apparently knows what to do where
the writers were unsure. It is a per
formance that would make an even
less worthy film a thing meriting your
attention.
* * * *
^OT because he is within 10 leagues
as good an actor, but rather be
cause he has eyes and a voice to break
your heart, young Kilburn comes close
to stealing the picture from its princi
pals. It is a kind of Dopey-the-dwarf
part, with touches of Pagliacci, that
this newest of English child actors
plays and he turns it into a very suc
cessful assault upon all the emotions
from laughter to tears.
Next most sympathetic role is that
played by Mickey Rooney. He is the
honor student of the school—of all
things for him to be—and as such it
is his task to give Freddie that fine,
kindly working over that will lure him
back into the world of honorable men,
most honorable of whom seem to be
candidates for the merchant marine
registered at Russel-Cotes. Part of
the working over requires that Rooney
shall battle it out with Freddie, as
nicely staged a fight as Mike Jacobs
never had a part in.
The crook angle of the piece, which
makes the melodrama, is never allowed
to become lost, although, offhand, it
seems like a difficult task to keep
merchant marine schooling and so
ciety burglary in the same groove.
The crooks are George Zucco (whom

Another pleasing feature of “Lord
Jeff” is that the film is seized by
Charles Coburn as another oppor
tunity, his fourth, to demonstrate that
Hollywood never makes a mistake
when it decides that movies should
have actors in them. Mr. Coburn
cuts quite an impressive figure as
the kindly, but firm, head of the in
stitution which makes English sailors
English sailors. He is capably assisted
by Herbert Mundin, who not always
capably assists, but who, this time,
has a great deal of sport with the
part of a sour-puss salt with a heart
of gold.
Call “Lord Jeff” innocuous if you
will, but it still has a great many
fine qualities to make it an interesting
picture, a background that has the
flush of freshness on its face, and
direction that is intelligent from the
moment Freddie is introduced as an
insufferable prig until the picture ends
with him as a proud apprentice on the
roster of the Queen Mary.

For Comedy
‘Divorce of Lady X’
At Keith’s Is
Spritely.
MERLE OBERON is playing
comedy at R-K-O Keith’s
this week, and she is very
amusing. In fact, almost all
of the players in ‘'The Divorce of
Lady X” are playing comedy and
being very amusing, which means that
Alexander Korda's technicolor produc
tion is an entertaining motion picture.
The mistaken identity pattern for
screen romances has been used often
before, and there are no reports that
the producers contemplate banding
together in the near future to bury it,
but Mr. Korda’s current version is a
thing of complete freshness.
The film begins in a fog—a thick
London fog—which forces those at

Whose life (cinematically speaking) never has been'exactly a bowl of peaches and cream,
seems here to have further sorrows thrust upon her in “You and Me," which brings her to the
screen of Loew’s Capitol Theater next Friday.
tending a costume ball to remain over
night in the hotel where it had been
held. Merle Oberon decides to risk
the wrath of a guest who has declared
in terms quite certain that he is not
interested in sharing his suite, as sug
gested by a manager. Miss Oberon
barges in on Guest Laurence Olivier,
which throws Mr. Oliver into a fog
When he comes out of the fog he
realizes that he loves the impudent
young lady who has taken possession
of his pajamas and bed, forced him
to sleep on the floor of the suite's
sitting room.
Mr. Oliver is a barrister, and his
first concern the next morning is a
divorce proceeding which has all the
earmarks of placing him in the tui
tion of correspondent. This is not the
case, but Miss Oberon does not tell
him, and Mr. Olivier is most unhappy
for many feet of film. The audience
is not unhappy, however; it is laugh
ing, and that is as it should be in a
comedy picture. It is laughing at a
Merle Oberon who demonstrates a de
lightful flair for comedy, an amusingly
puzzled Laurence Olivier, a Ralph
Richardson who is very funny as the
peer bringing the court action, an en
tertaining-as-usual Binnie Barnes in
the role of his wife who has had “four
marriages and two episodes.”
The direction of Tim Whelan Is
superb, and the incidental music has
a bit of something extra. C. A. M.
Mr. Zanuck Sends Another
Slick Comedy-Romance
‘Josette,’ at Capitol, Agreeably Done
By Simone Simon and Others.
Bowes Unit on Stage.
ANOTHER of those slickly embellished comedy-romances from Darryl
Zanuck's Twentieth Century-Fox film factory has come to Loew’s
Capitol to provide, at least, agreeable surcease for a while from the
weather and the trials and tribulations of the world outside. This
one, titled "Josette,” finds ihe Lady of the Golden Key. Miss Simone Simon;
Robert Young. Don Ameche, Joan Davis and some other people involved
pleasantly enough in a light little •>
xairy taie wmcn is none tne worse lor
your having heard it before.
This time Mr. Young and Mr. Ame
che are a couple of lads who run a
fish cannery in New Orleans and their
pop (played by William Collier, sr.)
is a fellow who falls for a French
singer y-clept Josette. When Josette
comes to New Orleans to work the boys
send papa to New York and prepare
to reason with the chanteuse. Only
pop pulls a fast one, takes Josette with
him, and a little wardrobe mistress
named Simone Simon steps in to sing
and save the show, thus reversing the
old process, the unknown here getting
her break in the first reel instead of
the last. But this does not stop the
picture there.
Anyhow, if you can’t write the script
from this point, where the two sons
go to work on the wrong Josette, you
have not been attending class. Mr.
Young is the happy-go-lucky brother,
Mr. Ameche the serious one. Fill out
about seven reels from there, and if
the wrong lad gets the lass you are
sentenced to 24 hours in the screening
room. But if "Josette” does lack nov
elty it still has the advantage of plac
ing no tax at all on any of your brain
cells. You can relax and Miss Simon,
Mr. Young and Mr. Ameche are cer
tainly agreeable enough people to re
lax with.
Miss Davis, it might be noted before
we get off the subject of "Josette,” is
funnier than she has been in a couple

'T'HE Capitol's stage show is Maj.
Bowes’ “Collegiate Revue,” which
presents a number of talented "ama
teurs,” but which is just like any other
Maj. Bowes unit, except that the
names and faces are different. The
acts are just introduced by a master
of ceremonies, in this case Ted Mack,
placed end to end, with no particular
emphasis laid upon production values.
But even so. many of the people are
really top-notch entertainers and the
customers indorsed them heartily yes
terday.
Best of them are the Three Chords,
who impersonate scads and scads of
musical instruments with their own
bare hands; Joe Higgins and Roy Da
vis, who impersonate well-known peo
ple of the stage and screen; Bobby
and Betty Edwards, a pair of slick
dancers who are going places, and the
price-winning shag specialists. There
are a couple of girls who sing, too, and
a number of other citizens about who
do the things people in Maj. Bowes
units always do.
There’s another item on the Capitol
bill which also is worth your atten
tion—a one-reel short titled “Screen
Memories," containing a lot that is
interesting, plucked from newsreels
and comedies of yesteryear. H. M.
‘Comrades’ Back
At Columbia.
,,rrHREE COMRADES," plucked from
the shelf of M-G-M’s library of
post-war tales and turned into an
honest, if somewhat falteringly told
film story, returned yesterday to
Loew’s Columbia. It stars Margaret
Suilavan, Robert Taylor, Franchot
Tone and Robert Young in narrating,
not too remorselessly, the conditions
which frustrated returned German
soldiers in their efforts to adjust them
selves to a sadly upset world.
Miss Sullavan’s performance, and
that of Tone, are two of the brightest
spots in the film. They stand at two
angles of one of the most heart
rending triangles that the movies have
dared to picture, a triangle that has
in it nothing of ugliness.
The story, of course, is that related
in his bitter post-war trilogy by Erich
Remarque. Whereas Remarque di
gressed to wax wrathful in broad
terms, the picture sticks entirely to
the human values inherent in four
nicely drawn, and three adroitly acted
characters. J. C.

Earle’s New Musical Is Another

Stage Bill Diverting.
By HARRY Mac ARTHUR.
(i >OOOANTrr GROVE,” the new cinema attraction at the Earle, U
| one of those musical comedies that roll out of the Paramount
% j Studios like automobiles off the assembly line, all looking «»a»
—* with six standard paint lobs to select from. This one, however,
can probably be called a de luxe model (wire wheels and a radio), having
enough emphasis placed on story to lift It out of the clambake clam.
The story In this case concerns a young fellow who has a band and who,
after much difficulty, lands his band*-——- -'
in the Coeoanut Grove, wihere movie
stare are seen for the gossip columns
of fan magazines. It Is no yarn of
epic proportions, but it is diverting
enough to hold your attention. Right
now we can see we are not going to
get much further with this without
dragging out that “light summer en
tertainment" line again. “Coeoanut
Grove” is light, all right. And It Is
summer.
The point Is this new musical from
under Paramount’s rubber stamp is
another of those things which will
neither enrich your life nor kill you.
That Is it won't kill you if you have
been conditioned to a fairly high re
sistance to the Yacht Club Boys. They
are here. Early In the picture one of
the players growls sardonically at
them, “Huh. I guess you guys think
you’re funny!” Truth will out in
strange places.
But when the Yacht Club Boys are
not cluttering up the place being ex
ceedingly unfunny there is some
amusement to be had from watching
the antics of Ben Blue and Fred Mac
Murray and Harriet Hilliard carry on
their romantic doings pleasantly. It
is a distinct pleasure, too, to hear
Miss Hilliard sing “Says My Heart,”
which she does several times, and the
other music includes “You Leave Me
Breathless,” also in the hit class.
It is Mr. Blue, to our way of think
ing, however, who just about makes
up for the Y. C. Boys, especially in
those sequences where he teams with
Eve Arden, first for an Apache dance
in reverse, later for a daft ballroom
dance take-off.
