New Picture Takes Cooper Back to Cowhand Past ‘Cowboy and the Lady,’ at Palace,, Only Mildly Diverting Comedy Romance, Despite Stars By JAY CARMODY. As a playwright, S. N. Behrman says nothing, or practically nothing, more beautifully than any other American dramatist. His prose makes, such pleasant sound that every one forgets how much better it would be if it made more dramatic sense. That, to be sure, is a nasty thing to be thinking but when Mr. Berhman does not write with the proper inspira tion for an actor like Gary Cooper, he is doing wrong by one of the screen's finest talents. And that ls« the way Mr. Behrman wrote in "The Cowboy and the Lady” which opened yesterday at Loew's Palace. The lanky, laconic genius on the pay roll of Samuel Goldwyn, assisted by Merle Oberon and some compe tent subordinates, manage to make the comedy romance mildly divert ing. But, as everyone knows, "mildly diverting” constitutes a critical cliche which should not have to be applied to a Cooper film bearing the hallmark of Samuel Goldwyn as producer. It may be unreasonable, but one expects more. The picture takes Mr. Cooper back to the old cowhand groove from which he was snatched to stardom. He is a stalwart son of the range, a chap who has learned the facts of life so thoroughly that its fancy side does not appeal to him. He is so obviously a fellow of simplicity, sin certitv, decency and sex appeal that when the society girl spots him. she has to lie away her background to get his attention. Because he likes women who have the characteristics of work horses, the kind that will carry their share of the load, she tries to be like that. Miss Oberon's effort to live up to that ideal has its various humorous and poignant moments. None of them, however, are too, too emotionally moving. The tenser moments of the film, as well as those embraeing some of its more delightful off-hand comedy are those which are left to the talents of Mr. Cooper. The talent that makes him the envy of such a splendid actor as Charles Laughton bobs up frequently in the action of "The Cowbodv and the Lady.” He does a fine job of being a Mr. Deeds in sombrero and chaps in a passage in which he is playing house, a bit of pantomime that covers such things as making love to his wife, pointing out to her the beauties of nature in Montana, and ending up, finally with a party for his fellow cowhands, all of whom are thoroughly convinced V that he Is cracked. It is a whimsical touch that gives one a warm feeling toward the picture for a brief space. Another good sequence is that in which Mr. Cooper, having been tricked into kissing the girl and never suspecting the treachery and coquetry, goes back to propose mar riage. Because the logic of a kiss does not strike her quite the same way, Mr. Cooper picks her up and tosses her in the swimming pool. No other actor could be quite so ofT hand when presented with the same opportunity. H. C. Potter’s direction in scenes like this has about it an expert ness which is missing at other I points along the route. It does ■ things that it should not upon oc | casions to the comedy talents of such people as Patsy Kelly (she’s ! a sylph now), Walter Brennan and 1 various other of the capable people who earned Goldwyn dollars on ! which to diet. "The Cowboy and the Lady” is given the usual glossy Goldwyn pro duction. . Most of the background, which is a bit startling for a picture with such a title, is the rich girl's rich home in Palm Beach. It probably is a reflection of Mr. Berhman's (what’s he doing here again?) penchant for drawing rooms. He, of course, never could be a fellow who would feel at home on the range. The few cowboy country shots which do creep into the picture are very handsome things, and there are some reasonably exciting excerpts from rodeo performances, i which also increase the sagebrush i savor of the film. "The Cowboy and the Lady” is vividly supplemented by a techni color style show which ought to be a very captivating thing for women and very instructive for j men who have been wondering what women are going to look like next. ____________________ 1 Where and When Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing National—"Set to Music,” Bea Lillie in a new musical comedy by Noel Coward: 8:30 p.m. Palace—"The Cowboy and the Lady,” romantic comedy with Merle Oberon and Gary Cooper: 12:05. 2:30, 4:50, 7:15 and 9:40 p.m. Keith's—"Son of Frankenstein.” In which the monster returns with more scary doings: 11:35 am., 1:35, 3:35. 5:35, 7:35 and 9:35 p.m. F.arle—"Say it in French,” new romance in the comic mood: 11 a m., 1:45. 4:30, 7:15 and 10:05 p.m. Stage 6hows: 12:45, 3:30, 6:20 and 9:05 p.m. Capitol—"Artists and Models Abroad,” Jack Benny's new adven ture: 11 am., 1:40, 4:25, 7:10 and 9:55 p.m. Stage shows: 12:55, 3:40, ! 6:25 and 9:05 p.m. Metropolitan—“Smashing the Spy Ring," the story of just that: 11:40 am., 1:40, 3:45, 5:50, 7:50 and: 9:55 p.m. Columbia—“Out West With the Hardys," latest tale of the doings of the popular family: 11:25 am., 1:30, 3:35. 5:40, 7:40 and 9:45 p.m. Little—“The Edge of the World,” drama of a doomed people: 11 a m 1:10, 3:20, 5:30, 7:45 and 9:55 p.m. Belasro—“Grand Illusion,” telling Indictment of warfare: 4:15, 6:05, 8 and 9:50 p.m. GOLF & TABLE TENNIS CENTER Coif Letson* Practice Net* Virginia Mapes—Professional 3330 14th St. Adams 9732 Theater parking 6 P.M.

If you are possessed with a yen to have the daylights scared out of you. R-K-O Keith’s is the place to satisfy it. ‘Son of Frankenstein” packs a goodly supply of chills and more than once last night brought frightened little squeals of half embarrassed terror from inhabitants of the mezzanine. It does not seem to be quite the demon as was the “Frankenstein” of a few years back that inspired it. but “Son of Fran kenstein” still is a scary enough item to appease all, this appetite for horror that movie audiences have shown this season. ‘‘Son of Frankenstein” is. strange as it may seem, the story of the son of the Baron Frankenstein who created the monster. From America come the son, his wife and their small son to move into the Franken stein castle they have inherited. Exploring his laboratory the baron discovers he has inherited also the little playmate his father made up out of some spare parts, a strange, bewhiskered creature having kept the monster in a cave in a state of suspended animation ever since it was hit by lighting a few years back. You do not have to be told that the young Frenkenstein brings the monster back to life and that it gets loose, causing numerous com plications, including frightening us nigh unto a tantrum a couple of times. Basil Rathbone as Frankenstein, Boris Karloff as the monster, Bela Lugosi as the hairy fright the monster obeys and Lionel Atwill as ihe police inspector of the village compose a cast well equipped to send chills up (or down) anybody's spine. They do here, all right. Mr. Rath bone and Mr. Atwill especially play all of this for all it is worth, and maybe more. And just looking at Mr. Karloff or Mr. Lugosi, or both, is enough to send you into the scream ing meamies. Jpsephine Hutchison is on hand, too, but she does not scare anybody, being an exceedingly attractive note in the middle of this business. And young Donnie Duna gan is fine as the lad who innocently plays with the "giant" who comes strolling into his nursery. The point wherein “Son of Frank enstein” seems to fall down a bit is its lack of action. There Is suspense aplenty, all right, but some times it seems to have been gained) at the expense of movement. Di rector Rowland V. Lee (who proved, incidentally, / in "Love From a Stranger” that he could whip sus pense around) has done a fine job of building it here, but with a touch of that slow, plodding English man ner at such things. It just gets tire some sometimes, or maybe it fs downright nerve racking to have a suspenseful moment stretched out until it pings an E above high C. Complaints or no complaints, how ever, “Son of Frankenstein” is guar anteed to scare you. Right Remedy KANSAS CITY OF). —Sheriff James L. Williams wants to keep his county jail prisoners’ minds off card games and gossip. He asked for books today for the jail library—travel books. 0 Now a Mark Twain Hero MICKEY ROONEY Slings a crooked pole over his shoulder and sneaks out to the old V™9*01?-, H*is I1,01? enoaged in re-creating for the screen Mark Twain s Huckleberry Finn,” in the M-G-M film version of the famed sequel to ‘‘Tom Sawyer.” Royal Title Means Nothing To an Assistant Director , HOLLYWOOD. In her native Sarawak, Princess Baba need not lift a finger. Sur rounded by luxury and servants, her slightest wish is a command. In Hollywood, however, the princess not only can but does do a great deal for herself—during working hours. When the sun sinks behind the Hollywood hills she again ascends to the position she has known all her life. The film colony, having always looked with awe upon titled per sonages, entertains in regal style for< Princess Baba. Such treatment would be accorded her 24 hours a day if it weren't for i the fact that she's ambitious for a screen career. That places her in a different category during working hours. Of course, she still is treated with the greatest respect. But as- j sistant directors are a pretty hard boiled lot who are paid to see that studio rules and regulations are car- ! ried #ut. And even a princess can’t make them waver. Consequently, now that she is working with W. .C. Fields, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy in | Universal's “You Can't Cheat an Honest Man,” Princess Baba must adhere to the same rules as other ! actresses. If she has a 9 o'clock call, she must arise at 6 in order to dress, have breakfast and drive to tlye studio I from her Santa Monica home by 17:30. S Immediate upon arriving at the studio, she reports to the makeup department where she punches a | time clock. About 45 minutes are required to make her up. Then she spends another 45 minutes having her hair dressed. Again she punches a time clock so the studio has an ac curate record of the time she spends getting ready for work. There's an other time clock on the set which she must punch when she arrives | and departs so there will be a record _AMUSEMENTS. i►—-— -1— of how long she was actually on the set. "I knew exactly what I would have to do before I signed the contract for this picture,” the princess de clares. “And it doesn't bother me a bit. I want a screen career more than anything else and I am per fectly willing to work as hard or as long as necessary to have It. “As far as I am concerned, I’d just as soon forget I am a princess and be regarded only as an actress. How ever, I have discovered that it's not easy to shake a title in Hollywood. People here are too title conscious. Perhaps though if I am good enough in You Can't Cheat an Honest Man’ to establish myself somewhat as an actress, I can make people think of me only professionally.” According to advance reports emi nating from the studio, it's very pos sible that the Princess may see her histrionic achievements overshadow her family inheritance. _AMUSEMENTS.
