Party Heads Can Benefit by Film Plot ‘Thanks a Million,' Now at Apollo. Shows How Plan Works. Anew twist, for political campaigns 'and not a bad one), peppy songs, more music than has been a sembled in one picture before, and the movie bow of Portland’s husband, ‘'Town Hall Tonight” Fred Allen, make “Thanks a Million” the ? ear s tops in musical refreshment. It comes close to backing “Top Hat.” off the map. Starring is Dick Powell with a new and genuinely satisfying heroine. Ann Dvorak. Opposite Mr. Allen plays the casual Patsy Kelly, whose remark to Mr. Allen: “If the whole world was a firecracker, you'd be the only punk big enough to light it,” is typical of the general atmosphere of the picture. Band Is Stranded It all starts when Rubinoff’s band, managed by Mr. Allen, is stranded in a tank town. Dick Powell is crooner for the outfit and Miss K"lly and Miss Dvorak the hoofers. The state political campaign is raging and one faction’s headquarters is in the town. Mr. Allen sells his band, the. party using it to pep up the rallies at which the continually inebriated Raymond Walburn speaks. The band turns the trick and everything is going nicely when the other party turns up with Paul Whiteman's orchestra for a selling point. 'I hings go from bad to worse, the romance between Miss Dvorak and Air. Powell goes bv the board when she finds out that the political boss wife is entertaining Mr. Powell of evenings. Then Mr. Walburn passes entirely out and Mr. Powell is put up tor the governorship. It all ends sat ifactorily. One song, “The Alphabet Song," was cheered lustily recently by a preview audience at the Apollo. It is sung with gusto and distinct style by the Yacht Club Boys, who. with their performance in “Thanks a Million.” have started on the road to better things. If anything, the directors have turned on Mr. Powell's personality a little too much in this picture. But the surprisingly remarkable norformance of Mr. Allen more than offsets any small defect in the film. He is a top-notch comedian.

2 i.“r* Special HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 15.—Mannerisms of screen celebrities, observed during their preoccupied moments: Wallace Beery absent-mindedly picks up nails along the studio streets; Clark Gable almost unconsciously inquires, “How’m I doin’?” at the end of a scene; Johnny Weissmuller rumples his hair when in deep thought; Chester Morris hitches up his belt when concentrating on lines before a scene; Jack Benny chews gum vigorously while thinking up anew gag.

tening to music; W. S. Van Dyke listens to music with his back turned to the orchestra so he can’t see the physical method of production, William Powell walks up and down before his stage dressing room to memorize his lines; Lionel Barrymore plays the piano when he's tired; Harry Stockwell sings on a rubber pad so the microphone won’t catch his foot tapping in time to the music. Spencer Tracy does a few jig steps waiting for the camera to start; Nelson Eddy shuffles his feet during this silent wait; the Marx Brothers don’t care what gets into the microphone at any time.
