France Sends a Masterpiece
To Little Theater Screen
And Miss Eleanor Powell Enriches
‘Honolulu’ Screening by Making
Another Personal Appearance
By JAY CARMODY.
It happens infrequently, but the screen can produce masterpieces.
Such a picture is •'Ballerina'’ which opened yesterday at the Little Theater.
Congress could do (and probably has done) worse than pass a law to make
seeing it compulsory. So far as this corner is concerned, it is the most
intelligent, entertaining, tender, poignant, sincere and charming picture
of childhood ever filmed. It is honest to the point of using a downright
ugly child in the leading role, but
her playing is of a caliber to make
the demand for ugly children a
logical development on the part of
movie makers.
Benoit-Levy, the French director,
who made the beautiful "La Mater
nelle” two years ago, has exceeded
the excellence of even that drama
on this occasion.
His story, adapted from the novel
of Paul Moran, is the rich narrative
of life as lived by the "petit rats" of
the Paris opera. It embraces an
area of childhood that is amazingly
fascinating. The children of the
ballet, apprentices put through a
routine that tests their love for
artistic expression to the breaking
point, are not little dears as Benoit
Levy deals with them. rl^he tender
ness with which he examines the
devious mentality of the budding
artist is intensified by the starkness
of the presentation.
The story ot •'Ballerina is that ot
Rose Souris, a 12-year-old of ex
treme precocity. Rose can dance
like an angel, but she does not have
the character of one. Her wide
eyed adoration of the premiere
danseuse of the opera is transcended
only by her hatred of the latter’s
rival, a hatred that causes her to
■ open a trap door in the stage when
the rival is dancing. The dancer
plunges through the opening, is
paralyzed and her career ended.
It is Benoit-Levv’s pleasure to
examine the mind of a child of such
intense feeling. His drama is a
thing of brooding beauty, its mo
ments of tragic tensity offset by
some of the most delightful humor
conceivable. The "petit rats” have
their hilarious moments, one of the
most realistic of them that in which
an angelic youngster suspended
high above the stage on a moving
wire has the sad mishap of becom
ing ill. The huge paper tulip which
she carries in her hand turns out
to be a much more useful than
beautiful thing at such a moment.
And lots funnier than it is useful or
beautiful!
There are passages of very im
pressive beauty in the film. Natu
rally, there is a lot df dancing in
the lives of ballerinas and Serge
Lifar was employed to give it the
glow of vitality and enormous grace.
If the ballet does not profit hand
somely in the way of greater popu
larity as a result of Mia Slavenska’s
“The Death of the Swan,” then there
1 is something seriously amiss with
the public taste. Miss Slavenska,
let it be said, is much more than a
I dancer. She is a rarely beautiful
person, with a striking talent for
acting.
The star of the piece, of course,
is the little girl who plays Rose. To
satisfy the certain curiosity of every
one as to where she has been all
i their lives, she is Janine Charrat,
daughter of a Paris fireman; a fire
man who should not have to worry
a bit about his pension being inade
quate.
Like so many French pictures, this
one induces that old wonder as to
where all those talented children
come from. The answer to that is
that they come from under the
direction of Benoit-Levy, who defi
nitely has an inspired ability to
turn brats into Bernhardts.
“Ballerina'’ simply has to be a
must on your film list.
Yesterday's screening of “Hono
lulu” was definitely different. It
was just like a Hollywood affair
what with Eleanor Powell sitting
there among all the customers
watching herself perform In the
picture which comes soon to Loew’s
Capitol. The customers, indeed, were
a much more notable lot than the
usual critical audience. In addition
to the star, they included Commis
sioner Melvin C. Hazen, Richmond
B. Keech, Miss Powell’s mother and1
numerous other persons who sur
vived the President's birthday cele
bration. *
Miss Powell's favorite actress in
the picture obviously was Oracie
Alien, at whose antics she laughed
as hard as any one, quite as if she
had not worked in the picture and
heard the dialogue perhaps a dozen
times. It is that kind of dialogue,
however, which can stand repetition.
The Hollywood touch was evident,
too, in the genuine appreciation of
the audience for Miss Powell's danc
ing on the screen. She was warmly
applauded at the end of each num
ber. And rightly, too, for her danc
ing in "Honolulu” is definitely
applaudable. A rope-skipping tap,
our favorite, took a whole day to
; film, Miss Powell confessed—a day
that certainly must have been one
of the most active of her active
j career.
1 It was a very’ pleasant party.

Spilled Pins
Are Another
Good Omen
i Wardrobe Room
Has Superstitions
Of Its Own
HOLLYWOOD.
The wardrobe workroom at War
ner Bros, is buzzing because Ann
Sheridan upset a box of pins while
being fitted for her "Dodge City"
wardrobe. That, say the sewing
women, is a sure sign of rushing
business and overtime checks.
Spilled pins are only one of Holly
wood's many wardrobe superstitions.
Seamstresses predict success or fail
ure for pictures by what happens
while its clothes are being made.
A picture is doomed if a dress is
! basted with green thread; if clothes
: are started but not finished on Fri
day; if a table is dusted with paper
instead of a cloth; if borrowed pins
I are returned or if anything sharp—
like needles or scissors—is handed
| out without being placed on some
I thing first, or if dropped scissors
| point to the star or any other player
; who is being fitted.
! On the other hand, a film can’t
j miss if wardrobe women sew a hair
in every hem, put an odd number of
buttons on every garment, baste in
yellow thread, break needles while
sewing or prick a finger. Damp fin
gers run along the under side of
every hem bring especially good luck.
Sally’s a Spy
"They Made Her a Spy,” Sally
Eilers’ new dramatic vehicle with
Allen Lane as her leading man, is
before cameras at R-K-O Radio
with Robert Sisk as the producer.
Featured players assembled for
the picture include Fritz Leiber,
Peggy Shannon, Alice Craig, Leona
Roberts, Jonathan Hale. Theodore
Von Eltz, Spencer Charters, Grady
Sutton, Roger Hunt, Addison
Richards, Louis Jean Heydt, Larry
Blake, Charles Halton and Harri
son Green.
Jack Hively, young film editor
recently promoted by Executive Pro
ducer Pandro S. Berman, will direct
the new film.
In a New Musical
Robert Young is Eleanor Powell’s new leading man in
“Honolulu,” the dancing star’s latest musical, which opens at
Loew’s Capitol Friday.
Chinese Dancer
To Appear Here
King Lan Chew, noted Chinese
concert dancer, will be presented in
recital Friday and Saturday nights
at 8:30 o'clock at Barker Hall, Sev
enteenth and K streets N.W.
The program is under the auspices
of the Chinese Women's Association
of Washington and is a benefit for
Chinese relief.
More Jitters
Hep cats in the Bethesda-Chevy
Chase area will swing out Friday !
night at 8 o’clock, when the first
jitterbug contest is held at Sidney
Lust's Boro Theater.
A cash prize will be awarded the
winner and if the contest proves
popular a series of eliminations will
be held for a period of several weeks.

There’s a New Olivia,
With No Worries
There's much talk around Holly
wood about the “new” Olivia de
Havllland. Olivia herself admits
she's a "changed woman.” She
ascribes the transformation to her
decision to “stop worrying” and to
let the future take care of itself.
Miss De Havilland, by her own
confession, used to be troubled con
stantly by what she describes as
“trifles.” But she takes them in
stride now and finds that few of
the things which used to worry her
even trouble her now.
Olivia also has become quite an
athlete. She goes horseback riding,
takes long walks, plays tennis and
swims a lot. She's even seen occa
sionally in Hollywood s more prom
inent night spots with various male
escorts—a thing she would have
shunned a few months ago.

Nancy Kelly Becomes a Star
In a Mere Eight Months
New Pride of Mr. Zanuck’s Studio,
Only 17, Has Had Top Roles
In Three Big Films
By SHEILAH GRAHAM.
HOLLYWOOD.
Nancy Kelly—the youngest dramatic actress on the screen, 17 years
old—came to Hollywood eight months ago, and now the pride, hope
and joy of Twentieth Century-Fox in general and Boss Darryl Zanuck
In particular. ... Has played feminine top spot in three big productions—
“Submarine Patrol,” with Richard Greene; “Jesse James,” with Tyrone
Power, Henry Fonda and Randolph Scott, and the soon-to-be-released
"Tanspin," witn Alice Faye ana
ward Norris. Now preparing for
“Stanley and Livingstone," with
Spencer Tracy.
Miss Kelly Is
the only leading
lady In Holly
wood who brings
her mother on
all dates. She
refers to her as
“Nan." (Father
is “Jack.”) “I’m
not old enough
to go out alone
with a man—it
wouldn’t be nice
for a girl my age
to go out un
chaperoned,” she
tells me over a

beer stew and ice cream lunch.
“When will you be old enough?” I
inquire. “When I'm 18—in March,''
replies Nancy. (Don't rush, boys.)
Her studio believed she was of age
to have a publicity romance—but
Nancy said "no.” “When you see
my name coupled with a man's in
the newspapers, it will be the real
thing,” she assures me. This has
already happened twice—once as
having danced an entire evening
with John Garfield—the other lad
was Edward Norris. The Garfield
episode was without truth. “I was
so mad when I saw it in the pa
pers—it was a large party and John
was there with his wife, whom he
adores. I danced with him once!”
Miss Kelly amends her statement
to read, “When my name is coupled

with a man’s, it will mean I like
him. I couldn’t go out with some
one I didn’t like.” , . . She tells me
she is fancy-freg at the moment.
But—"I shall marry when the right
man comes along—and It certainly
won’t interfere with my career.”
She is much prettier ofT screen
than on. The camera has not yet
done justice to her big dark eyes
and attractive profile. Severest
critic of the Kelly looks is Miss
Kelly—‘T look like the wrath of
God.” is how she describes herself.
. . . The modest maiden avoids her
previews. “I only went to ‘Jesse
James’ because the studio said I
had to. I’m so afraid people will say
to me afterward, ‘You’re awful;
what makes you think you can
act?”'
Nancy hated her screen portrayal
in "Jesse James”—she considers it
her worst role (the critics say it is
her best;. "I wish all my part had
been cut but except the ’baby’
scene,” she tells me. (Where the
wife of Bandit James decides to
leave him and go back to her
uncle’s home.)
Miss Kelly, the eldest of four
children, was born in Lowell. Mass.

to Hollywood. At the age of 4 she
made her first picture—“The Un

the movie version of “The Great

She made 52 films in New York

Armies and elephants...Love
and Laughter...Breathless ad
venture inspired by Kipling’s
heroic lines of loyalty and dar
