Crosby and Fitzgerald Repeat
In Another Roguish Charmer
By Jay Carmody
Paramount waited a respectable two years after "Going My Way”
before pairing Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald again. But it brings
them together once more in ‘‘Welcome Stranger” which opened yesterday
at the Earle and there is no denying that it is about time. ‘‘Welcome
Stranger” is the comedy customers have been waiting for, an engaging
fable whose charm is in nowise diminshed by the fact that it is ar virtual
j cvjciit oi me original story. as
doctors, which they are on this oc
casion, Crosby and Fitzgerald are
as winnirjg a pair of rogues, and
even a bit rangier in scope, as when
they wore the clerical robes of their
first screenplay.
As screen repeats go, “Welcome
Stranger” is far more artful than
most and, while it could have de
pended fully upon the matchless
blending of its heroes personalities,
it offers considerably more. It
should not escape the public that
credit for this is due largely to Di
rector Elliott Nugent. An agile man,
Nugent, when it comes to keeping
sentimental hokum from looking
like itself.
It is a gay and genial comedy he
has directed and it is as certain to
make moviegoers happy as it is
destined to make Paramount rich,
‘ Going My Way,” to everyone’s great
surprise, turned out to be one of the
top money-makers of all time. The
^surprise will be missing when the
“Welcome Stranger” returns are
added.
* * * *
Maine, supposedly the most Amer
ican spirited area left in America, is
the scene of the latest odyssey of
Crosby and Fitzgerald. In this set
ting, Author Arthur Sheekman,
keeps them quite sensibly in charac
ter. Fitzgerald is Fallsbridge’s old
doctor, a crochety, kindly martyr to
the community’s health. Crosby is
the vagabond medico who is sent
.to relieve the old man when the
latter concludes he should have a
vacation after 35 years.
These characters have been op
posed in more tales than anyone
ever would bother to count, but
Crosby and Fitzgerald are the com
plete masters of the dramatic by
play through which they come to
understanding, respect, and affec
tion. On any script handed to them,
even one less inspired than that of
“Welcome Stranger,” they can be
trusted to find the sharpest flavor
of every incident and situation.
Truth to tell, they are constantly
adding their own as when Crosby
steals such an obvious Fitzgerald
line as “Did ye now?” and gets the
merest flick of admiration from
the latter.
* * * *
As the young doctor who takes
the two-months’ vacation assign
ment, the footloose minstrel Crosby
comes as a great shock to the pro
vincialism of Fallsbridge. Naturally,
his impact is most terrifying upon
old Dr. McRory who can’t believe
that medicine has so far lost its
mind as to accept a garishly dressed
troubador such as this. Frankly, he
does not believe that Crosby is a
doctor; a distrust expressed in his
instructions to the young man to
call a Bensonville physician should
anyone in the community become ill
while he is away.
“Welcome Stranger” goes out to
Hollywood:
Burt Lancaster
May Get Lead
In ‘All My Sons’
By Bob Thomas
Burt Lancaster and Edmund
O'Brien, two fair-haired boys at U-I
are lined up in competition for the
lead role in "All My Sons,” from the
play that won the New York critics
award last season.
Both are vying for the role which
Arthur Kennedy created on Broad
way and it looks as though Burt is
going to be the victor. Already set
in the cast are Edward G. Robinson
and Mady Christmas.
It is interesting to note that Burt
made his screen debut and Eddie
his postwar return to films in "The
Killers," but they never appeared
in a scene together.
* * * *
Joe E. Brown learned from the
State attorney's office in Chicago
that a man who has been posing as
his son for some time has been
captured in Dallas. The imperson
ator has reportedly been bilking
women in several States and was
lought widely by the FBI.
Irene Dunne is one actress who
worries about what the critics write
flhnnl. hpr TV»rfnrmanrftR lost,
two films have been from the stage
hits, “Life With Father’ and “I
Remember Mama,” and from now
on she says “1 11 only do original
stories for the screen.” She ex
plained that it invites too much
comparison to play a role already
created by a stage actress.

talents. The Playhouse is having

meet the hackneyed in situation and
change it into something better in
the course of composing the conflict
between its joint heroes.
This is does by depending mainly
upon the warm humanity of its
principal players, but they do get
the help of Author Sheekman and
Director Nugent in the form of
dialogue that is perfectly fitted to
requirements. The speech of Crosby
and Fitzgerald is so right that its
most sophisticated ad lib-like allu
sions are never out of key.

is strictly homespun. It deals not
only with the personal conflict be
tween its main characters, but with
such Fallsbridge phenomena as the
new hospital which the old doctor
almost does not get, a barn dance,
a municipal sleigh-ride, the spirited
rescue of the town’s talented drunk,
an emergency appendectomy, and
even the birth of a first baby.
This is incident enough to keep
the picture moving at a suitable
pace, but there is also the running
romance between Crosby and Joan
Caulfield as the prettiest "teach” on
the Fallsbridge faculty. Between
the songs he sings to annoy the old
doctor and the ones through which
he needles the hesitant teacher,
Crosby gets quite a varied album into
“Welcome Stranger."
A couple of these, “My Heart is a
Hobo,” and "As Long as I’m
Dreaming,” already are standouts.
There is some superb miming in
the lesser roles of the Earle’s new
hit. Percy Kilbridge, for example,
spins a Maine village taxi-driver
who holds his own as a comedy
figure in company as fast as that of
the screen play’s stars. Another ex
cellent portrait is that sketched by
Prank Faylen as the health-haunted
small town editor.
Miss Caulfield, of course, is not
merely her usual lovely self, but a
better actress.
“Welcome Stranger” is welcome
indeed.

A man can go through a lot just
to listen to Art Tatum play the
piano, but sitting through “The
Fabulous Dorseys” seems almost too
high a price to pay for the brief
moment of Mr. Tatum the film
offers. Aside from Mr. Tatum's
moment the Columbia’s semi
biographical tale is undistinguished
Even a sound track which carries
music in the early Dorsey brothers’
style and Jn the manner of the
latter day groups of Jimmy and
xvumtj vbiuiw v ot* t v/ *t,
A more learned student of the
lives of the Dorsey brothers could
tell you, where we can only guess,
how closely this standard fable
parallels the actual events of their
careers. One of our guesses is that
their famous feud was not caused
because both were Irish and be
cause Tommy wanted to play
“Never Say ‘Never’ ’’ faster than
Jammy wanted to play it. It is, on
the other hand, entirely plausible
that the two became famous in
their field because their father did
not want them ot be coal miners
ana maue uiem practice ruui nuiiio
a day on trombone and saxaphone
when they were young.
Admirers of Jimmy and/or
Tommy probably will be able to
ignore the story, or at least to put
up with it, just to get the music
The score’s high point, even though
a pair of young lovers inject their
pallid conversation into it, is a jam
session centered around the Tatum
piano, imvolving both the Dorseys
Charlie Barnet, Henry Busse and
others. Also to be heard are “Ob
ject of My Affections” (Dorsey
brothers with Janet Blair singing >
“Green Eyes” (J. D.), “Marie
(T. t).) and a few other items. Paul
Whiteman also turns up now and
then, playing his version of jaza
with an orchestra big enough foi
Toscanini.
( TTie talents of Sara Allgood anc
Arthur Shields also are employed bj
the picture, but nothing like to the
fullest extent. Tommy and Jimm;
play themselves, incidentally, no'
quite as well as Larry Parks might
but this is an interesting develop
ment in the musical cinema. I
would be unfair to set “The Fabu
lous Dorseys” down as the pictun
in which a song contains the line
“To me, you’re the core of a cora
sky.”- But that line’s in it.

“Copacabana,” the Capitol's new
film, does have its dull moments, but
you can’t really complain about a
picture that has two Groucho
Marxes and two Carmen Mirandas.
The dull moments occur only when
Mr. Marx is not about, leering at
the lush dolls who inhabit the Holly
wood version of Monte Proser's
gilded establishment just off Fifth
avenue in New York. You can see
for miles, incidentally, in the Holly
wood version, which is something
you surely can’t do in Mr. Proser s
Copacabana.
Groucho’s role is that of an actor
turned theatrical agent. It is the
comic notion of the picture that he
should sell two versions of Miss Mir
anda to the Copacabana’s boss. As
a Brazilian Import named Carmen
Novarro, she appears in the floor
show downstairs, and as a Parisian
named Mile. Fifi, she sings in the
cocktail lounge upstairs. This, nat
urally, has her operating on a strict
timetable ana introauces otner com
plications, too.
The complications reach their
height when Agent Lionel Q. Dever
eaux (Groucho) and Carmen (Car
men) decide it is time to do away
with Mile. Fifi.
Groucho, who recently is reported
to have said, anent a rumor that
he was to make a picture with the
Ritz Brothers, that he wouldn't even
make a picture with the Marx
Brothers, has modified only his
moustache and his loping gait here.
He hasn’t modified these too much.
1f “Copacabana” is part of any plan
he has for “going straight,” he
hasn't gone too far yet. He still is
a wonderfully funny performer. He
makes the silliest dialogue sound
hilarous (Carmen: Why are you al
ways chasing women? Groucho:
When I catch one I’ll let you know.).
He can bring down on his head
more disaster than any comedian in
the movies and, having brought it
down, can face it with more aplomb.
Admirers of the Marx Brothers,
of course, are going to feel short
changed by “Copacabana” and we
are inclined to agree with them. It
is an inane sort of thing, a Marx
Brothers picture with only one Marx
in Its favor. The sequence with two
Grouchos, for example, is the sort
of madly pointless affair you used
trio’s pictures. Agent Groucho tells
the Copa boss he has a great enter
tainer to show him. There follows
a song production number with the
old Groucho, complete with large
painted moustache and beautiful
cowgirls. “Not bad,” says the club
owner. “How much?” “You couldn’t
afford him,” say Groucho, the agent.
And that’s the end of that.
It just works out that Andy Rus
sell, for all the fact that he can sing
a song, is not the foil for Groucho
that Chico is. Nor is Miss Miranda,
for all her spluttering volatility, as
magnetic as Harpo. She is funrfy,
though, and she can sing the day
lights out of a Latin ditty.
* * * *
The Capitol’s stage show headliner
is another volatile singer, the lus
cious Russian, Luba Malina. Her
way with a song is something, too.
Others on the program are Jack E.
Leonard, a large and funny* comic;
Lathrop and Lee, skillful tap
dancers, and the acrobatic Emerald
Sisters.
DOUBLE TROUBLE—Carmen
Miranda finds herself cast in
a dual role by her agent
(Groucho Marx) in “Copaca
bana,” being forced to play
two entertainers in the same
night club. The musical is at
the Capitol.

Hollywood Columnist Jimmy Starr
wrote the novel on which the
Metropolitan's new mystery farce.
“The Corpse Came C. O. D.” is based.
Lamentably enough, the Starr type
columnist still is not the writer the
movies are looking for. As a
whipper-upper of excitement with a
comedy flavor, he has all the faults
of the studios’ regular authors, plus
a few from his own department of
literature.
■ me uorpse came c. o. D” is
something on which Columbia Pic
tures could wisely have refused pay
ment. It is strictly hack comedy
mystery, features a tale that clings
to the faith that opening a succes
sion of doors into darkened rooms
will lead to something dramatic.
Countless doors open in Starr’s
story, nearly all of them upon an
emptiness monotonously relieved
now and then by George Brent and
Joan Blondell.
A movie studio provides the frame
of “The Corpse.” Racketeers, it
seems, have laid their hands upon
weaklings on the payrolls, the idea
being to use these to dispose of hot
gems to rich, vulnerably vain screen
darlings. Brent, as the hero, is one
of those ace crime reporters who

If he is not out to make a monkey
