The Music Goes 'Round/ With Farley and Riley, at Loew's Affords Excellent Entertainment From Start to Finish

Singing of Popular Hit in Several Variations, Plot and Acting in Picture Itself Provide Much Amusement for Screen Audience. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON With music to stir your hearts, dancing that will set the most staid soles a-tapping and comedy that would make Ned Sparks break into a horse laugh, “The Music Goes ’Round” opens at Loew's today. You'll see Mike Riley and Eddy

Farley, and you'll hear them sing and play "The Music Goes 'Round and Around.” You will hear Harry Richman sing it, you'll hear Herman Bing the satchel-mouthed gentleman you've seen a score of times (but never like this) sing it. and you’ll sit up and take extra notice when Michael Bartlett, the handsome tenor, does an operatic rendition of the ditty that is a masterpiece of arrangement. If Farley and Riley had never reached Hollywood the picture still would be one of the top notch musicals. Contrary to what one might expect, the producers have moulded the added attraction of the “Round and Round” number into the film most skillfully, and showing just enough of the authors to utilize their newsworthiness. The story centers about Harry Wallace (Mr. Richman), a Broadw'ay musical comedy star, who quits New York because his manager won’t put Farley and Riley in the show. He wanders through the South and lands in a Mississippi river town. Curious, Wallace goes aboard a show boat. Accidentally he is selected by Susanna Courtney (Rochelle Hudson), daughter of the owner, to play in the company’s melodrama. For fun Harry decides to go along ar and falls in love with Susanna. Hires Farley and Riley Meanwhile, Harry's manager, hires Farley and Riley and puts their song into the production. Then he can’t find Harry. Wallace wires his manager to come to the boat and sells him the idea of incorporating the melodrama In the show. But the New York audience, instead of weeping at the plight of the heroine, roars with laughter at the emoting of the out-moded actors. Susanna and her father (Walter Connolly) leave the production and go back to trouping, which proves a losing game. Os course, Harry comes to her and all ends happily. This picture has jUst about everything. It should make the audiences sing lustily with Mr. Richman, for he can put over a song like no singer except A1 Jolson. Some of his best numbers are “Life Begins When You're in Love." “Rolling Along,” “There’ll Be No South,” and" Let's Go." Victor Schertzinger deserves a lot of credit for his direction, by making Mr. Richman sing instead of act. He iso sensed the right spots for comedy elief of which there is a pleasant overdose. One of the funniest scenes is a comic dance by two unidentified Negroes. Abominable acting makes the show boat melodrama, “The Belle of Charleston,” funny enough to be repeated three times without becoming monotonous. Walter Connolly does excellently with his part of Hector Courtney, old-school actor who likes his bottle; Miss Hudson is unusually convincing, and Lionel Stander contributes heavily to the comic element as Wallace's stooge. As light comedy, this picture is packed with more real entertainment than any two musical films we've seen.

Indiana Obtains Full Color Film ‘The Trail of the Lonsome Pine’ Coming Soon. “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” feature length picture in full color, is to be shown at the Indiana Theater soon, according to I. M. Halperin, Indiana-Circle manager. The future of color in movies was enthusiastically predicted following a special showing of the picture in Hollywood recently. What some of the film folk think about color follows: Cecil B. DeMille, who may produce future pictures in color, declared: “Color always is intensified when photographed. Eliminating that sharpness and brilliance is the problem ahead. Henry Hathaway believes he has found the solution and applied his theory in The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.’ I am sure that this picture will be the first great color film.” Bing Crosby: “From what little I’ve seen of it, I’m convinced that color will be the medium for all screen plays in the future.” Sylvia Sidney: “I’m no production expert, but I do know that color adds greatly to the realism and beauty of a film.” Fred Mac Murray: “For color to survive, the intelligent use of it must be maintained. If color is played down as Hathaway is doing, the public will relish having more and more pictures in natural color.” Henry Hathaway, director of “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine”: “You cant get me to predict anything. In regard to this picture. I know that you will see an entirely new use of color which greatly should enhance the cause.”

Second Leading Man 'Runs Out' Fred Mac Murray Deserts Cast of 'Concertina.’ By United Pre** HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 21,—Paramount studio officials today decided that the contemplated picture “Concertina” was “a hoodoo” as they sought Fred Mac Murray, second leading man to walk out on the film. Mac Murray was assigned to play opposite Carole Lombard last week after George Raft refused to appear because he objected to Cameraman Teddy Tetzlaff. The tall, square-jawed Mac Murray accepted the assignment but did not appear yesterday when work was scheduled to start. Studio officials insisted that MacMurray was ill and would report in a few days, but from other sources it was learned that he felt he was entitled to more money. In less than a year he had become one of the most popular leading men at Paramount and it was reported that he felt he was worth more than he was getting, said to be somewhere between S4OO and $750 a week. Miss Lombard, Director William K. Howard and a technical crew were on hand yesterday, ready to start work but Mac Murray did not appear. Unable to “shoot around” him, Director Howard asked that filming be postponed until he reappeared.

Mr. Hitz is editor of The Orchard School News. “Never enjoyed .a children's performance better in the whole 10 years of my life,” was the comment of Fenton Jameson, Orchard School store president. “The play rated next to 'Mutiny on the Bounty,’ ” in the opinion of Mary Elizabeth Fletcher, Orchard School bank president. “The thing I liked best was the shooting of Lincoln.” was First Grade Postmaster Teddy Daniel’s comment.
