Palace Film Finds Drama
In Building of West
‘Stagecoach’ a Picture of High Merit
That Needs No Star Names*
Zorina Breaks a Rule
By JAY CARMODY.
Too seldom for its own profit, and for the entertainment of ita mil
lions of customers, is “the play the thing” In Hollywood. Consequently,
when an exception to the rule comes along, it is something to wax eloquent
about. Such an exception came along yesterday with the arrival of
“Stagecoach” at Loew s Palace. Depending upon story rather than box
office names this narrative of the opening of the West manages to be one
of the more significant achieve-*
ments of the cinema In recent
months. John Wayne and Clare
Trevor are its chief players but that
makes no difference because the film
produced by Walter Wanger and di
rected by John Ford, tells a story
that is dramatic beyond the neces
sity of using players whose names
Will pack the theater.
The cynical movie goer can say of
'‘Stagecoach” that it is glorified
horse opera; in other words a “West
ern” produced on a more elaborate
scale than the usual picture of its
type. Indeed, the cynic may say that
without contradiction from either
Mr. Wanger or Mr. Ford. In attempt
ing to catch the spirit that built the
United States West of the Mississip
pi, sponsors of the picture frankly
have resorted to every melodramatic
device in the book. They have had
babies, well, one baby, born in a
stagecoach, they had had a battle
with the Indians with a cowboy
band coming to the rescue, and they
have utilized everything else that
came out of the paper-backed tales
you read as a boy. All of them have
been handled in a fashion that
makes them of extraordinary be
lieveability and appeal to even the
hardest boiled member of the au- j
dience.
Hokum, let it be said, never has
been more completely and wisely
used. Until it has done so too often,
Hollywood may glorify the "Western"
picture to its own and the audience's
advantage. "Dodge City” was its
most recent effort in that direction.
"Stagecoach" is its current one. The
two are by no means too much cf
a resort to the same theme to maice
the subject look overdone.
A good, sound cast playing per
fectly conventional characters gives !
genuine luster to the entertainment
inherent in "Stagecoach." Miss
Trevor, always more or less a hard
boiled girl, gets her most hard boiled
role in "Stagecoach" in which she
plays the part of a female so lacking
in rectitude that she is asked to leave
town. A very good portrait she
makes of it. The same may be
said of Thomas Mitchell as the
drunken frontier doctor, of John
Carradine as the traditional gamb- ,
ler, of Burton Churchill as the repre- 1
sentative of righteousness in that
unrighteous land. As might be ex
pected, the twistings of the plot
find a great deal of good in the worst
of those in “Stagecoach." tenderness
In the gambler, a sense of duty in the j
inebriate medico, etc.
Numerous sequences of the pic
ture have a dramatic excellence
beyond the intimations of the plot.
Outstanding among them is that in
which the whites come to grips with
the Apaches. Mr. Ford has fairly
outdone himself—quite an achieve
ment—is this particular area of the
film. In the hands of a less skilled
director, the whole thing might have
been Just another inter-racial con
flict but not in this case. It is the
climax toward which the picture
builds with extraordinary qualities
of suspense and when it finally ar
rives, the wait is more than justified.
In sharp contrast with the vio
lence, the action of the film in its
more standard passages, there is an
extraordinary tenderness about
those which deal with such bits as
the birth of that frontier baby. Mr.
Ford ever was a subtle director in
that respect and he has done more
than usually well on this occasion.
Photographically, even without
technicolor to give it stature,
“Stagecoach” is one of the most
impressive films you ever have seen
It depicts an America which not
only should be seen first, but last—
a tribute to those who did the loca
tion surveys beyond that of any re
cent film.
Definitely, “Stagecoach” belongs
among the most dramatic bits of
Americana which the movies have
dug up in recent months.
•
The angel who is the star of “I
Married an Angel,” in other words,
Zorina, has one rule of professional
conduct, namely, that she will not
make a public speech because she
does not know how. It is a Very
definite rule, but Zorina broke it
yesterday to speak to some 50 rep
resentatives of the Civic Theater
gathered at a luncheon. Quite
charmingly, and even more uninten
tionally. she rose to say a number
of nice things about community the
aters. how they develop audiences
for the professional theater, how
they develop talent of the profes
sional theater, etc.
And, after it was all over and she
had surprised herself as well as her
audience, the star of the National's
current production dropped around
to the Carlton to say hello to Prank
Swadley, the gentleman who was
her host at the President's Birthday
Ball in January, 1938. That was
just before she became the sensa
tion she is today.

Rose Bampton Sings
To Club Audience
Rose Bampton. soprano, “one of
the stars of the galaxy of stars of the
Metropolitan Opera,” as she was
introduced by Mrs. Charles Mc
Laughlin of the Congressional Club,
gave a short program yesterday
afternoon as a guest of that organi
zation at its annual breakfast at
the Raleigh Hotel given in honor
of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Cordially received by the distin
guished assembly and enthusiasti
cally encored at the close of her
program, Miss Bampton displayed
an admirable voice noted for its
range and timbre. This versatile
prima donna, who only seven years
ago made her debut at the Metro
politan Opera as a contralto, singing
the taxing role Of Laura in “La Gio
conda,” has turned, within recent
years, to the greater field offered
by the literature for a soprano voice.
She chose for this occasion one of
the immortal arias. “Pace, Pace
Mio Dio,” from Verdi’s “La Forza
del Destino," which she sang with
effect and a ringing quality of tone.
A bouquet of red roses presented
after the aria was additional ap
preciation as Miss Bampton gave of
her best vocally and emotionally in
this particular number.
The varied prograti) consisted of
Schubert’s “Wohin,” Mahler’s “Ich
Gehe mit Liebe Lust,” substituted
for Schuberts “Der Wachtelschlag”
and sung by request; Bachelet’s
familiar “Chere Nuit,” Ravel’s
“Nicholette,” Cottenet’s “Red, Red
Rose,” Hughes’ “Hey Diddle Diddle,
from “Nursery Rhymes”; Hageman’s
“Do Not Go, My Love” and Tyson’s
“Sea Moods.” Of these “Nicolette,”
translated into English by Miss
Bampton, and another gay song,
“Hey Diddle Diddle,” with its rip
pling accompaniment, found a ready
response from her hearers. Upon
insistent demand Miss Bampton
added Katherine Manning’s “In
Luxemburg Gardens” and Ernest
Charles’ “When I Have Sung My
Songs to You.”
Nils Nelson proved his efficiency
at the piano by furnishing clean
cut accompaniments to Hughes’ and
Schubert’s songs, which demand a
polished technique, especially the
former. He ably supported Miss
Bampton throughout her program.

Ann Sheridan Gets a Role
That Calls for No ’Oomph’
Her Schedule Now Includes Film With
! James Cagney and George Raft;
if More on Herr Hitler
By 8HEILAH GRAHAM.
HOLLYWOOD.
Ann Sheridan reaches what would seem to be the zenith of her
flashing career with the news that she will be co-starred with George
Raft and James Cagney in “Invisible Stripes,” from the pen of Warden
Lewis E. Lawes. In this picture she will not be an "oomph" girl, but
an ordinary maiden who befriends a sweetheart trying to go straight
after a spell in prison. Production is for late summer.
In the meantime, Ann will make "The World Moves On,” with
Cagney and Humphrey Bogart, and <
Priscilla Lane to provide some stiff I
competition. The “oomph" in Ann
will be well to
the fore In this
epic, in which
she plays a
character like
the late Texas
Oulnan. Inci
dentally, Pris

Warner Bros, swear by their last

something bigger in the new Hitler
expose, appearing as a sort of
glamour girl spy. Miss Lys seems
definitely heading toward a Holly
wood career. She has a role with
Paul Muni in “Beethoven,” and
with Erroll Flynn in “Adventures
of Don Juan."
