HERE IS A STRANGE HUMAN ORCHESTRA The Mills Brothers Imitate Many Musical Instruments During Their Performance at the Circle. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE is one sure thing about the Mills Brothers, they do not have to buy expensive instruments. They use only a mail order guitar but they imitate with their lips and hands the tuba, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, clarinet and oboe. Here is the strangest human orchestra I have ever heard and one of the most sensational. The other day when I was at tjie Circle I was swept away with the melodious sounds that these four Negroes produce without using any instrument except one guitar which is played by one of the brothers. I have seen several experts on the vaudeville stage who could imitate musi-

cal instruments but these brothers imitate various instruments, the result being that you get the impression that you are listening to a five piece orchestra. And if I am any judge of musical sounds, the sounds produced by these brothers sound exactly as if they were made on real

m u sical instruments. I know 1 never have seen a greater or more enthusiastic audience than when I was at the Circle. They take popular melodies and, with expert arrangement, acquire certain melodious effects that even a real orchestra does not always obtain. And that is the wonderful thing about the Mills

■

Brothers. Another thing I like about them is that they do not attempt any comedy stunts. With the harmony they create in a comedy novelty number, “Stop That Tiger,” I think that is the name of it; anyway, that is the idea. They sing five or six numbers, and when the curtains are finally drawn they leave the audience howling for more. The Mills Brothers will be the talk of the town this week, and rightly so. The movie feature is Richard Dix in “Roar of the Dragon.” And this picture abounds in action and adventure. Now at the Circle. tt U tt LOOKING OVER A THRILLER WITH THRILLS My tip is that when you go to see "White Zombie” with Bela Lugosi that you see it at least six hours before you go to bed. And I should know because I saw it at a private screening starting at midnight. Even when 7 a. m. came I was awake in my bed, day dreaming about body snatchers and people

from the grave who walk in stilted fashion even when our hero is filling them full of bullets. But the “living dead” walk calmly on although their stomach is punctured with bullet holes. Not a pleasant idea to take to bed with you at 2 in the morning. When it comes to shocks and thrills,

iraiif

“Dracula” is tame compared to “White Zombie.” The story is morbid and frightful. It is shocking, but I must admit that it is effective theater. This sort of play baffles on and works down one's better judgment. I loved to be fooled by a magician and Thurston often told me that I was his best audience because I never wanted to know how a trick was done. The same with shockers and thrillers on the stage and screen. I just love to be senseless and scared to death. I do not expect great acting in a blood-chilling story. Such acting must be as exaggerated as the story to make it effective. I will never forget the hypnotic eye of Bela Lugosi as the evil spirit who makes the dead work for him in his cane mill. I guess it is a cane j mill. For this type of acting, it is excellent. I could not see anything especially wrong with the work of Madge Bellamy, the chief woman in

the cast. She is the only one listed. The work of Joseph Cawthorn as Dr. Bruner was splendid. Sound and photography is what it should be. If you want to be about half scared to death, then visit the Palace this week and see “White Zombie.” Now at the Palace. FUN IS POKED AT PRESS AND POLICE Am beginning to believe that Hollywood writers and producers believe that the dumbest creatures

alive are coppers ai That idea was strengthened after seeing Victor McLaglen as Detective McKinley and Edmund Lowe as Russell Kirk, a newspaper reporter, in ‘Guilty as Hell.” “Guilty as Hell” is a comedy, but the director and the story writer certainly made saps out of the reporter and the detective. At times some of

Dix

the actions of the reporter struck me right in the face. It isn’t comedy to me to see Lowe calmly throwing cigaret ashes on the body of a dead woman. Nor is the ending funny when Lowe is sitting on the lap of a dead man in the office of the detective, calmly trying to make a date with a skirt. That alleged comedy is too strong for me. I am not one who has howled about the movies showing up newspaper men in the wrong way, but “Guilty as Hell” rubbed me the wrong way. If you want to howl at the silly fights and actions of the reporter and the detective while working on a murder case, all well and good. Maybe I am all wrong in my tastes and ideas concerning newspaper men and coppers, but I know I am not. You will probably say if this movie was poking fun at a lawyer I probably would fall out of my seat with laughter. Be your own judge of that. McLaglen and Lowe are at it again. Meaning they are quarreling with each other over the same girl. An ancient formula for them, but it has made them fortunes. As in all murder mysteries I refuse to tell you the story. The murder is committed right before your very eyes. And then the detective and the reporter start their comedy investigation of the murder. Now at the Indiana. The Apollo is holding over Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor in “The First Year” for a second week. You know that I love this one. Hope you do or did.
