Film Shifts From a Happy

Mood to Unreal Drama

But “Broadway Through a Keyhole" Proves to Be

Quite Entertaining-A Crooner, a Gangster

an d a Fair Maid, All Involved. |

By E. de S. Melcher.

W ALTER WINCHELL dees not prattle and gab in “Broadway

Through a Keyhole” as you might suppose. Patrons of

Loew’s Fox will find him in an altruistic mood, gazing

upon the fair love of a maiden and a crooner with genuine

sympathy, end embellishing it with the sterner and fiercer regards

of a gangster for the same lady. This triangle forms the substance

of a film which has been keenly directed by Lowell Sherman, well

acted by Paul Kelly and Constance Cummings, and generally made

tc he above average through a ..umber of other things.

The music, dance routines and some

of tlie earlier sequences are extremely

lively and entertaining. Eventually,

the film becomes morbid and unreal.

But in its happier mood it is quite

pleasant and theatrically warm.

Mr. Kelly is seen in this as a gangster

Who dabbles in the pastoral pleasures

of a city's milk racket and who falls

head over heels In love with a young

lady whose mother he once was fond

of. too (in a different sort of way).

Upon spying her in the back row of a

night club's chorus, he ele- ates her to

stardom, buys the club for her. gives

her a flat with handsome trimmings

and when it seems likely that he may

get a bullet In his teeth, shunt* off to

Florida.

There the lady, played delightfully

by Constance Cummings, sees crooner

Russ Columbo, and as is ther fortune

with most good crooners, loves him at

sight. Realizing that her regard for

Mr. Kelly is more sisterly than other

wise. she immediately succumbs to her

affection for Mr. Columbo, forgetting

that her tougher boy friend might learn

of tire encounter.

When he does, of course, he glares

and glowers—and orders Miss Cum

mings home. After that the battle is

settled, "not as you may think," and the

lady lives forever after with the man

■he cares for most.

I isn't the story that matters in this,

but the nlaying of it by most of the

. players. Except for Texas Guinan, who,

we regret to say, is no Mae West. Miss

Cummings is one of the genuine finds

of the films, having been “found" first,

If we remember right, with Harold

Lloyd. Mr. Kelly, well known on the

stage, ts ths most restrained and be

lievable ot the current knuck'e-men,

and the ladles will probably like Mr.

Columbo. Having heard a great deal

of what a bolt out of the bluj his

cinema debut was. we have to admit to

some disappointment In him. He is

sleek, however, and sings way down in

his boots, which is an improvement

over certain others of the crooner

legions.

A special word should be added for

Hugh O’Connell, whose pcrfomance. as

almost anything he has ever done be

hind the footlights, is just about per

fect.

The high mark of this week's stage

show—a vivid contrast to the Lumpkin

•Puccini” overture—is the “Stormy

Weather” number as presented by the

Cotton Club Orchestra, with Adelaide

Hall doing the solo singing. This is a

cleverly staged version of the song that

pretty much wracked the country last

season, and still seems to be going

strong. Against a backdrop of not too

violent looking clouds, Miss Hall sings

her hear;, out, while voices are heard

In the ’’ackground and a chorus of I

blue dressed girls twist and weave and

throw their hands to the high heavens.

Whether you like revues of this sort

or not. "Stormy Weather” is something

you shouldn't miss. The remainder of

the show is devoted to that red-hot

Harlem rythm, and to those sort of

dances which certain people can get

away with and others can’t—depending

on how you are physically constructed.

CHEVALIER’S

COMEDY HAS

HUMAN TOUCH

Ann Dvorak Proves

Match for Merry

Musical Star.

Musical Maurice chevalier.

at the Earle Theater, breathes

melody imo the air and finds life one

continuous song, while he creates in

the notably expressive face of Ann

Dvorak the tones that speU eventual

harmony. Their play is "The Way to

Love,” and the directions that they

give carry conviction.

Mr. Cbevalier bas done much to

smooth the sharp comers of filmland,

while his screen partner is among those

who understand personality and its

adaptation to the demands of the

motion picture.

No heavy plot hampers the pair in

an existence which is governed by

impulse and sympathy, loyalty and

courage, honor and the unconventional.

The man has made his place in a

Bohemian group cf struggling disciples

of art, while the woman, who escapes

the slavery of a b:utal guardian, finds

refuge in their midst, just as gratefully

as does a stray dog which has been

hunted by a mob that believes it to

be mad. She has a vision of a new

existence, and the man is equally

favored with a vision of charm.

To those who love the life of intelli

gent freedom from care, and to those

wrho find adventure, romance, and a

kaieiccscopie world of homely beauty,

things to be admired, the play makes

an alluring appeal. It has its odd

photographic tucks and its somewhat

preposterous humor, but rests as a

whole on the unaffected contributions

of Mr. Che /alier end Miss Dvorak.

Their work is gcod, they have the ad

vantage cf plenty of Incidents, and a

boasJy knife-thrower who follows the

woman is conveniently eliminated from

time to time, as it becomes necessary to

let human attraction have full sway.

One serious thought arises behind the

mask of the irresponsible Chevalier.

Without the slightest attempt to voice

his conviction on the subject, he re

luses to marry before be bas tbe means

of supporting a bride, and tbe hign

occasion when he gets a job and a

marriage license Is a joyful place In

thf» nlot.

Clever character work is done Dy

Minna Gombell, while Edward Everett

Horten is cast for a part that enables

him to contribute effectively toward the

unfolding of the story. Others In the

cast are Arthur Pierson, Blanche

Frederic, Nydia Westman, George

Rigas, Douglas Dumbrille, George

Hagen, John Miljan, Sidney Toler,

Billy Bevan, Grace Bradley, Arthur

Housman and Jason Robards. The

music and lyrics were furnished by

Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin.

The stage program, In addition to

Introducing Miss Audry Sieber, re

splendent in numerous costumes, as

efficient mistress of ceremonies, oners

two outstanding features, the Russian

Revels of 1933. and Solly Ward, noted

comedian. The Russian orchestra of

men and wemen, headed by Col. Fedor

Maybaum, gives an impressive program,

with the assistance of expert stagers

and dancers, while Mr. Ward, assisted

by two women, is a bubbling repre

sentative of his branch of the profes

sion. The Rollickers' male quartet of

fers new and old songs with equal

eatisfaction to an audience, and tne

Eno Troupe of Japanese athletes main

tains its reputation.

The usual overture is given by the

orchestra under Fred Clark, and an

extra film presents Rubinoff and nis

orchestra. —D. C. C.

Wanted—a Dog.

BELOIT, Wis. {IP).—An ex-service

jnan here was given a job as a result

of the N. R. A. and is content except

for one thing—he wants a dog to go

seeing many persons daily, he gets

lonely on his new job as night watch

man. He appealed for a dog.

••Henry VIII’’ Starts Another Week

Theater.

That frolicking and tragical regent

Henry VIII is disporting himself cine

maticaUy for another week at R-K-O

Keiths. where he has provided rare en- |

tertainment to thousands during the

past seven days. Perhaps thff best of Eng- j

lish films imported to this country, this

j United Artist release with Charles

! Laughton and Binnie Barnes in the

major roles, deftly escapes any sug

i gestion of dull historical pageantry,

j Vigorous, blufi and bristling with life.

' it is a tale of the peculiar matrimonial

habit of a s’.range king.

i Laughton’s performance as Henry is

j a brusque, bellowing, sly and occasion

! ally wistful piece of business rather a

! broad description of histrionics which

: are, almost incredibly even more varie

gated than that. Each of the five of

Henry’s half dozen spouses appearing

■ in the film narrative is quite compentlv

I successful with her role of Katherine

TEACHERS CANT LEAVE

“Blue Mondays’’ Curbed by Order

to Report Week End Trips.

WILLARD, Ohio OP).—The Willard

| Beard of Education is putting a step

to this idea of having sleepy teachers

And besides, says the board, half of

the teachers live out of town and spend

their salaries elsewhere, and miss Sun

So now a teacher can’t leave town

without giving notice.

REPEAT ENGAGEMENT

OF “THE BOWERY”

Beery-Raft-Cooper Picture Goes

on at the Columbia

This Week.

Strains of "Little Annie Rooney" and

modernized or recently written ballads

of the gay 90s are again, to be beard.

m tn: downtown theater sector. "The

Bowery,” that lusty Twentieth Century

picturization of Bowery life, starring

George Raft, Wallace Beery and Jackie

Cccper, is playing a repeat engagement

at Loew s Columbia.

Here is raucous melodrama depicted

with excellent characterizations and all

that went with New York's Bowery of

the time of Chuck Connors and Steve

Brodie. to say little about Carrie Na

tion, who has a part in the doings.

Beery growls his best slang, Raft

dances and snaps comebacks. Miss

Wray doesn't forget to look a little

frightened, and Pert Kelton dances and

sings robustly for one with such a tiny

voice and figure, whereas Jackie Cooper

takes keen delight in throwing rocks

through the windows of Chinese laun

dries. Taken separately, each is enjoy

able; and when they are put together

to make “The Bowery,” they form a

string of something like 80 or 90 min

utes of good entertainment, though It

be thoroughly rough, as befits the tenor

of what the Bowery used to be.

It seems to be the fate ol “The Three

Little Pigs" to fellow and forever be

come associated with the Bowery rather

than be eaten bv "The Big. Bad Wolf,”

for they also make their appearance on

the Columbia screen. J. N. H.

Washington Music Public

Greets a Famous Composer

By Alice Eversman.

HE Washington music public last evening had the honor of

being the first to welcome Arnold Schoenberg to this country

since his arrival early this week, and yesterday's concert of j

his works at the Library of Congress turned into an ovation

for the great composer, with the audience standing to do him honor. Dr.

Carl Engel, in a short speech, introduced the composer to the

audience and called him to the stage to receive the applause which

many in the city had undoubtedly wished often to personally extend

to the man who is one of the greatest figures in musical circles today. I

Mr. Schoenberg, who was forced to leave his country for po

litical reasons, has come to America to teach harmony at the

Malkin Conservatory of Music in Boston and to conduct classes in

New York each week. Next Saturday he will be accorded an

official welcome by the League of Composers at a concert of his

works and a reception to be given in New York.

'TV, n nf WiTv in ♦ V-. n. lnnci nnr-ciWln cnnno •» *T>V* n

country lor the season, il not per

manently, should prove of great value

to the young musicians of this genera

tion. A man of great genius, person

ality. and with the courage of his con

victions. he will exert an influence on

the talent just budding that should

bring us far forward as a musical coun

try. That his genius was appreciated

here was evidenced by the character of

hts welcome, as well as the attentive

and responsive manner in which the

audience listened to his music.

Two periods of Mr. Schoenberg's mu

sical life was represented last evening

in the numbers chosen for the program

of the first concert given in his honor.

With these two the range of his genius

was represented, for it portrayed the

genial, romantic tendencies of his

earlier efforts and the progression he

was urged to make toward a wider ex

pression.

The poetic “Verklarte Nacht.” heard

here last Winter at the Coolidge festival

and played then, as it was last night,

by the Kroll Sextet, is now recognized

as one of the most beautifully descrip

tive compositions in chamber music

literature. Inspired by a poem by Rich

ard Dehmel, it reproduces in musical

terms all of the witchery or the starry

night when two souls found themselves

and worked out their destiny. The har

monies used and the structural form

are easily comprehensive to the present

modernlstically attuned ears, although

a few years ago they were the subject

of heated controversy.

The Kroll Sextet, composed of Wil

liam Kroll and Nicolai Berezowsky. vio

lins; Leon Barzin and David Sackson,

violas, and Milton Prinz and Ossip

Giskin. cellists, gave it a consummate

reading in which their skilled technique

and artistry made prominent every

nuance of emotion while sustaining the

atmospheric background. The en

thusiasm of the audience was equaled

by that of the composer himself, who

went on the stage to shake the hand

of each performer.

In an interview granted in New York,

Mr. Schoenberg said of hts music:

“All I want to do is to express my

thoughts and get the most possible con

I -—C-*

second number on the program, the

'Second String Quartet, Op. 10,” seemed

a full realization of this desire. It in

troduces a soprano obbligato in the third

and fourth movements, and the addi

tion of a voice, gave a sense of com

pletion and a full, exultant quality to

the climax. The music of this quartet

is crisp and angular in some moments,

avoiding the suave melodic line of the

' Verklaerte Nacht.” Its expressiveness

was not to be grasped in one hearing,

but the impression carried away was

that this music was not finished with

the finish of the performance; that the

quality of reaching out for greater

things was unleashed, not to be gathered

back until It found a more complete

form, and that what it had to say was

so vital that it could never again be

disregarded in musical progress. It is

music that must be heard often to be

understood, but it is certain that a man

who can conceive "Verklaerte Nacht"

and “Pierre Lunaire” and is still seek

ing something different, knows what

he is about.

The Pro-Arte Quartet, which on

Tuesday gave the Founder's day pro

gram. concentrated all its superlative

musicianship on a careful and artistic

interpretation. The soprano obbligato

was sun by Olga Averino, who has the

magnificent voice necessary to properly

sing the difficult music. Her tone is

powerful yet flexible and unstrained by

the excessive demands the music made

on her. She was responsible for a

great part of the prolonged applause

that greeted the finish and which

grew in volume when Mr. Schoenberg

joined the artists on the stage. It was

a memorable evening and one to refer

to in years to come.

“I’M NU ANutL UUt5

INTO A SECOND WEEK

Mae West Picture Held Over at

the Palace by Popular

Demand.

Mac West has been held over a sec

ond week at the Palace, continuing to

prove that she is no angel. But to

say that she only proves she is no

angel, is an injustice to Mae's talents.

She proves far more than that. In

other words, she makes one almost be

lieve that a self-classified “honkey

tcnk" performer of the carnival lot

not only can become one of the most

fascinating women along Broadway, but

also that she can associate with the

"high hats" without changing her style

of grammar and make them like it.

Added to this is the fact that a movie

scenario and dialogue can be written

for one person. Voices ofl-stage might

do just as well for the continuity of

a Mae West show as a whole troupe

of actors. Mr. Grant. Miss West'*

leading man, has remarked on tills last

at length.

The film is Mae West. Mae West

wrote both scenario and dialogue, and

she gave herself choice slices of the

laugh lines. The continuity follows

the fortunes of "Tira." the dancing

girl of the carnival, through to the

fulfilling of her ambition—that of being

a lady, at least by having married

a man of social position and money.

What does seem a bit out of the

ordinary Is that this same girl would

be permitted to plead and generally

handle her own breach of promise case

in the civil courts and obtain the

leniency of the judge himself. However,

it is all done in such a way as to

provoke thorough enjoyment, the audi

ence tittering when Miss West does

even so little as saunter swingingly up

and down the aisle before the jury.

Imitation Held Flattery

In Damage Suit Over Film

Ideas in De Mille Picture.

By Mollie Merrick.

OLLYWOOD, Calif., November 4.—That Imitation is sincerest

flattery has yet to be leajAed by some marketers of the crea

tive product. I am really laughing heartily up my sleeve at

the naivete of the owners of the German-made film “M,” who

seek to obtain $100,000 damages against the De Mille-made picture

“This Day and Age.”

“M” is perhaps one of the best pictures released in this country

in some time. The performance of Peter Lorre was a masterpiece.

The Indirection of the filming of a terrible story was thrilling and

fowerful in its direct reactions upon the audience. It was marked

y superb artistry and originality, and Its dialogue was succinct and

terrific, if you were lucky enough to understand German, especially

the psychology of the child-murderer when faced by his haphazard

court with this: “You want to kill: I must kill.”_

If any one found anything thrilling. I ■

original or lenmg in tne very funny

“This Day and Age” I am glad; I cer

tainly didn’t. Charlie Bickford being

chewed by rats—a lot of college kiddles

marching through the streets singing

—a good deal too much of that great

De Mille “find” Judith Allen, ex-wife of

Gus Sonnenberg, the wrestler—and a

good deal of old-fashioned palaver and

dull dialogue.

But it seems to me that there is very

little protection for creative minds

against the sort of mind that leeches

on them. Rene Clair has been copied

by every Hollywood director, as have

other foreign directors. You can find

all the technique of our tremendous

Hollywood geniuses in the foreign re

leases of the six months preceding their

adaptation, of those releases. All bor

rowing m art is not intended plagia

rism. Some of It is the frank tribute of

tremendous appreciation. When we like

a thing tremendously we try to do

something like it. It is sincere flattery,

really, on the part of gentlemen who

get enormous salaries and who have

had their originality—providing they

ever did have any—smothered by large

incomes.

It's a funny situation, but I can’t see

where you can collect $100,000 on It.

“The Last Round-up.” that minor

swinging rhythm that has captured the

radio world, will find Its way Into pic

tures via a film caUed "The Border

Legion.” Although the air waves have

popularized this song until it is a mu

sical landslide, It originated In the the

ater, when young Joe Morrison with

George Olsen’s band sang it. Two hun

dred thousand copies of the song were

sold during the first six weeks after

this son? was launched. A friend of

mine tells me that her aunt learned

the basic theme of this song from a '

cowboy on tne Texas plains 30 years

ago. That this is merely a new orch

estration and arrangement of an old

cattleman's chanty.

Herbert Mundin tells a good one on

himself. He was strolling along the

j street on Halloween when some kids all

! wrapped in sheets and wearing masks

came running up to him.

“Gee mister." he quotes one of them

1 as saying, “you got a wonderful mask!”

j Mundin. who was ace comedian of

the Chariot revue before pictures

brought him to Hollywood to play an

outstanding part in "Cavalcade.’’ is al

ways making fun of himself. . . and most

of his stories hold up this one.
