WILLIAM POWELL, AT LOEW'S, EQUALS 'THIN MAN' TRIUMPH

'Rendezvous' Offers Mirth and Romance Rosalind Russell, Playing Opposite Star, Also Wins Laurels. BY JOHN THOMPSON Witty lines, exciting action, acting bv William Powell and Rosalind Russell make "Rendezvous," at Loews, equal to "The Thin Man," in entertainment value. Mr. Powell never has been more comically romantic. Miss Russell proves that the stardom she has wen quickly is Justified. Lionel Atwill, Binnie Barnes, Cesar Romero and Charles Trowbridge add to the excellence of the spy story. A former puzzle editor on a newspaper, William Gordan (Mr. Powell) enlists in the army at the outbreak of the World War. He meets Joel Carter and wishes he hadn't joined the army. He makes her kiss him good-by at the railroad station two days before his train leaves. She falls in love with him and gets her father, Assistant Secretary of W’ar, to order her sweetheart to stay in Washington. Mr. Gordan's ability to solve all sorts of codes and puzzles, makes him invaluable and Mr. Carter issues the order. Outraged at having to stay behind a desk instead of going to the front, Mr. Gordan takes up his eye-shade and goes to work. Secret messages, German broadcasts from Mexico, and counter-es-pionage activities all center around a beautiful spy, Olivia (Miss Barnes) who almost traps the romantic Mr. Gordan. All turns out well before the final fade-out. Miss Russell is splendidly casual as Mr. Powell’s leading lady. She has an engaging smile, fair amount of beauty and plenty of talent. The other picture on the Loews double-feature bill is "Guard That Girl," featuring Florence Rice and Robert Allen. Eleanor Buys a New Car Eleanor Whitney, dancer in "Millions in the Air,” is combining the business of learning to drive with the pleasure of seeing Southern California. She is the proud owner of a shiny new car. Scripts Bring Completed Scripts for "Beau Brummcl” and "Last of the Mohicans” arc being completed and plans are under way for starting the scenarios of "Beggar's Opera” and "Gunga Din.”

Robert Young and Constance Cummings; Rosalind Russell and William Powell The mental quandaries of a group of over-alcoholized social butterflies form the basis for "Remember Last Night?" at the Indiana Theater, with Robert Young and Constance Cummings in the lead roles. William Powell, ex-“ Thin Man,” wears a soldier's suit while making love to his new leading lady, Rosalind Russell, in a scene from "Rendezvous,” now at Loew’s.

Lyric Stage Show Topped by Billy Houses Fun Making Stuttering Roscoe Ates, Water Ballet and Perry Mason Film Starring Warren William Complete Bill. Billy House, rotund comedian, is "the big shot” of the current Lyric stage show which includes the appearance of Roscoe Ates, screen stutterer. The picture at the Lyric is Warren William’s latest Perry Mason role, "The Case of Lucky Legs.”

Mr. House, who throughout his act decries the fact that he and his ! company are "thumbing” their way Ito Dayton and would appreciate j any applause they could get, puts his comedy line over with vigor. The bedroom skits are excellently done, mostly because of Mr. House's injections of genuine humor. Mr. Ates is pleasing in a brief ! sketch in which he demonstrates his | ability to stammer perfectly, play the violin and tear up a trombone. Mr. Ate’s art has few participants who can get the tonal variations, bass gurgles and generally mixedup word formation acquired by him. One of the most dazzling spectacles seen on the Lyric stage is Lottie Mayer’s water ballet. In this act a chorus of young women appears in ballet costume, mount high steps and walk down into a huge tank of water built on the stage. Large mirrors reflect the fact that the girls really do enter the water, clothes and all. Then they reappear from the tank wearing different costumes. Diving feats and dance formations feature the act. A finale shows one girl held aloft on a swing from which she dives into the tank. Colorful costumes and settings and good dancing make Miss Mayer’s act outstanding. The Whirlwind Daredevils, speed roller skaters, perform at dizzy speeds a foot or so from the foot-

In a program entirely different from the four previously presented here, the Don Cossack Russian Male Chorus makes its farewell appearance at English’s Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10. Exiled forever, with “En Voyage” written on their League of Nations passports, these giant Cossacks and their diminutive leader. Serge Jaroff, are keeping alive, in their public the memory of Mother Russia.

O Lord”. .Tschaikowsky “We Sing to Thee” Kastalsky “Funeral Song” TschesnokofT “Who Can Equal The” Bortniansky II "History In Song of S.

Use Marvenga Will Head Cast; Young, Leavitt Also Coming. “The Student prince,” perennially popular operetta, is to revisit this city for a three-day engagement at English’s beginning Thursday, Nov. 14. with a Saturday matinee. Following the success of “Blossom Time,” Lee and J. J. Schubert commissioned their authors, Sigmond Romberg, composer, and Dorothy Donnelly, librettist, to make a musical version of the play, "Old Heidelberg,” which Richard Mansfield had played in 1903. The result of their efforts was "The Student Prince.” The work attained immediate popularity, both here and abroad, and has become one of the favorites in the field of light music-drama in the decade since its first appearance. Heading the cast for the local production is Miss Use Marvenga, who created the role of Kathie, a part which she has sung over 3000 times in Europe and America. Other principals are Hal Young, Douglas Leavitt, Belle Sylvia, Ruth Lockwood, Donald Blair, Irving Green, Jose Lay, Clarence Harvey, George Dill, Terry Horn Charley Howard, Lee Beggs and Libby Larndell.

Reopening Program at the Stables Set The Stables, night club at 7DCO Allisonville-rd, is to be reopened tomorrow night for the winter season. Red Miller and his nine-piece band is to provide music and the floor show is to be headed by Miss Rosalyn Ludwig.

Coming Features "The Last Days of Pompeii,” spectacular picture starring Preston Foster and Basil Rathbone has been booked at the Indiana Theater for the week starting Friday. "Red Salute,” the movie which caused a furor in the East because of alleged Communistic propaganda, will appear on the Apollo screen starting Friday.

'Yeomen of the Guard' Contains Humor of Elizabethan English in Shadow of London Tower Tuneful Tale of Impersonation, Love and Intrigue, Lesser Known Gilbert and Sullivan Work, Given Fine Portrayal by Opera Cast. BY JAMES THRASHER A delightful play with tuneful music whose last note comes all too soon—such is Gilbert and Sullivan's "Yeomen of the Guard," presented last night by the Civic Light Opera Company at English's. * One of the lesser known of the Savoy operas, and undeservedly so. the "Yeomen of the Guard” is a tale of impersonation and intrigue, of love and humor and tragedy played In Shakcsparean England, in the shadow of the Tower of London.

This was the favorite work of both its author and composer, and holds a place apart from their gifted collaborations. Here Gilbert has given us romance, liberally spiced with humor, but not of the distinctly “Gilbertian” variety. The score contains some of the best of Sullivan's music to enhance the text. In many places, particularly the duet, “I Have a Song to Sing. O!” in the first act, and the quartet, "Strange Adventure,” in the second, the composer captured the style and spirit cf Elizabethan music in a delightful manner. Kathryn Reece and Vivian Hart sang the roles of Elsie and Phoebe in a charming and vivacious manner and James Montgomery was capital as Colonel Fairfax. Jack Point (surely a lineal descended of Feste in "Twelfth Night") was given a fine portrayal by Frank Moulan, who, with William Danforth as Wilfred Shadbolt, provided the audience with excellent foolery. Minor parts were generally well
