'ZIEGFELD' RANKED AS ONE OF GREATEST MUSICAL MOVIES

Loew's Film Traces Life of Producer His Successse and Failures, Loves and Losses Vivid in Screen Spectacle. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON If “Ziggy" himself could have been present at the movie premiere of “The Great Ziegfeld’’ at Loew’s last night, we feel he would have been completely satisfied with the production. Even then he might have remarked: “I think we need a few more steps at the top of that staircase in the finale. Tenderly, colorfully, romantically, Producer Hunt Stromberg, Author William Anthony McGuire and Director Robert Z. Leonard have woven the life of the great supershowman into one of the greatest musical pictures ever made. At the 1893 World's Fair side show, where Ziggy managed the strong man, Sandow, and where across the street Billings, his friendly rival, barked for the “Little Egypt” girl show, Mr. Ziegfeld found that patrons would rather watch the girls dance than see a strong man lift a thousand pounds. Lets Women Feel Muscles By accident Ziegfeld discovered that women would pay just to feel Sandow’s muscles. On this more Intimate type of show he cleaned up. With money to invest, Ziegfeld went to Europe on the same boat with Billings. At Monte Carlo. Ziegfeld lost his money, borrowed SSOO from Billings in London. There he discovered that Billings was to sign Anna, Held, a French actress, and he followed Billings to Miss Held’s theater, sending ahead a basket of orchids, bought with Billings’ money. Miss Held strangely was attracted to iegfeld, signed with him. Back in New York things did not go so easily at first. Anna didn’t like the idea of faking her daily milk baths which Ziegfeld had her do for publicity. But when she discovered that h eloved her as much as she had grown to love him, success comes quickly. Rift Flares Between Couple With Anna set in her show, Ziegfeld decided to do another, then the first rift between the two flared up. She calmed, and Ziegfeld began his new plans. He visited a burlesque house seeking new talent. There he discovered Fannie Brice, isgned her, starred her in his new show with great success. Other stars followed, Eddie Cantor, Will Rogers, Bert Williams. Among his chorus girls, Ziegfeld selected Audrey Dane to become his next star. She drank, to make her behave Ziegfeld gestowed all sorts of gifts on her. Anna’s jealousy came between them again and it led to divorce. Heartbroken, Ziggy went on producing shows. For several years he struggled alone. Then one evening at the Sixty Club’s masked ball he met the charming Billie Burke, escorted by Billings. Planning his romance as neatly as he did everything else, Ziggy won Billie for himself. Make Home In Park To escape from the eyes of her manager, Mr. Frohman, Ziggy woed Billie on a park bench. They held hands and watched the ferry boats come and go. Here it was he proposed and she accepted. It was one of the picture’s most artistic scenes. Five years later there were three Df them. Billie, Ziggy and Patricia. Happy at home, Ziggy encountered trouble atthe box office. His shows were failing. In a barber shop he heard three men deride him, say Ziegfield was a flop. He jumped from his chair, told them he would put four hit sho wson Broadway, all at the same time. Back home he confessed his failure to Billie. Understanding, she made him promise to pawn her jewelry and bonds and produce the four shows. A year later he rounded up the three men who called

Life Story of Rhodes Provides Circle's Feature Picture Theme Walter Huston’s Interpretation of Leading Role Wins Praise; Plot Concerns Conquest of Africa. The monumental character of Cecil Rhodes, who did more to shed light on the Dark Continent than any other man, has been translated into a great motion picture now at the Circle with Walter Huston playing the leading role in his usual flawless manner.

Drives to Africa by the crowded streets of London w’hich had no outlet for his vast dreams, Cecil Rhodes, already near death, becomes a part of the horde of diamond prospectors in the region later occupied by the Kimberley mines. His love of conquest and determination to give England a place in which to expand aids him to rise to the top of the heap. His last adversary is Barney Barnato, first an enemy then his friend. To his hoard of directors, Mr. Rhodes, now in complete control of all the diamonds in Africa, outlines his plans for the establishment of an empire in Africa, reaching from the Cape to Cairo. Before his oratory, they can only consent. Bore War Included Only the Transvaal, the Dutch Boer country, stands in Rhodes’ way. His attempts to arbitrate with the country’s president, Paul Kruger,

him a failure, gave them box seats to “Whoopee,” “Rio Rita,” “Three Muskateers” and “Showboat.” Market Crash Spells End When the stock market crashed, Ziggy crashed with it. His shows closed and he was sent to bed, sick. Billie went back to work. One evening, just after a visit from Billings, also wiped out in the crash, Ziggy died—a white gardenia dropping from his hand, symbolical of the love of beauty he held so close to his heart, the display of beauty he had so completely mastered. “The Great Ziegfeld” was not alone a fine biography of the showman’s life. It has captured, the mood, the atmosphere which surrounded Ziegfeld’s life. Much less than routine movies was it limited by the confines of the screen. It seemed to speak, sing and play its way into one’s heart. To list the many production numbers is needless. All have been done superbly. Most lavish was the finale of the first act, “A Lovely Girl Is Like a Melody” number. Such sequences, and there are several, only can be appreciated by being seen. His Stars Appear V “The Great Ziegfeld” cast contained a number of actual Ziegfeld stars, including Fannie Brice, Ray Bolger, anew dancer who is destined to go far on the screen, and Harriett Hoctor, the ballerine seen for the first time in the film. Os the stars, it was little’ Miss Luise Rapier, as Anna Held, who captured first acting honors. Her flawless characterization of the

fail. So he builds his empire around the Boers. But, cut off from the rich South by the Transvaal, his northern troops, led by his friend, Dr. Jameson, face starvation or death at the hands of waring natives. Jameson, on his own initiative, turns his guns on the natives, and in the wake of bloodshed, founds the new country, Rhodesia. Jameson attempts to aid the English who have settled in Transvaal and are being persecuted by Kruger. Without Rhodes’ consent, he sets out with 600 men and walks into a Boer trap. Rhodes resigns his post as prime minister of South Africa and president of the chartered trading company, and goes to Kruger to beg for the lives of his men. Kruger relents and turns them loose. The trip, made on horseback to see Kruger, is too

French singer, who never gave up her love for Ziggy, even after their divorce, is outstanding. Mr. Powell’s delineation of the leading role was done excellently. His mannerisms and eccentricities were presented artistically. Few other film players could have handled the part as well. Miss Loy made a perfect Billie Burke. That Miss Burke heartily approved of Miss Loy’s characterization is praise enough. Frank Morgan Is Hit Frank Morgan as Billings put another gem in this top-notch comedian’s crown. But one can not judge stars fn this picture as one might judge them in the usual movie. It is something much higher than the mere celluloid storytelling and part-portraying the screen heretofore has attempted. “The Great Ziegfeld” was an inspiration to the entire movie industry, a lasting memorial to the stage’s great showman. Yes, we feel that Ziggy himself would haxe approved this production—that is all except those extra steps on the staircase in the finale. We agree, Mr. Ziegfeld, there should have been a few more.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Apollo Film, 'I Married a Doctor/ Unites Josephine Hutchinson, Pat O'Brien Reviewer Pleased With Screen Version of 'Main Street’; Notes Slight Use of Material From Sinclair Lewis Novel or, Which Story Is Based. Little of Sinclair Lewis’ “Main Street” is to be found in the movie adaptation of the best seller, “I Married a Doctor,” now at the Apollo, but the screen writer substituted a gripping story in which Pat O’Brien and Josephine Hutchinson play the leading roles with completely satisfying conviction.

Just as “Main Street” ridiculed society to make millions of complacent Americans feel a little uncomfortable, so does “I Married a Doctor” make us pause to wonder if human nature shouldn’t undergo an uplift movement. But Miss Hutchinson, as Mrs. Kennicott, in “I Married a Doctor,” makes the mistake of trying to remodel the town’s architecture when its conscience needs retouching, perhaps a complete overhauling. Asa stranger to Williamsburg, a typical mid-Western county seat, her failure to give the city a French provincial atmosphere by changing its architecture is inevitable, but it does make her realize that reform is no business for an outsider, and helps her to find a place in her husband’s circle of friends. Win’s Town’s Prize Bachelor Mrs. Kennicott comes to Williamburg from a large city with the tremenous handicap of stealing the town’s most eligible bachelor, Dr. Kennicott (Mr. O’Brien). Then too, she is young and beautiful, much younger and far more attractive than her associates at the bridge tables. Unfailing devotion of . her husband’s male friends, of course, does little to make their wives like her more. With her social position so insecure, Mrs. Kennicott unfortunately encourages a young artist, Erik

much for the aging Rhodes and he dies with the words: “So much to do and so little done.” Lauds Entire Cast “Rhodes” is not entirely Mr. Huston’s picture. The work of Oscar Homolka as Kruger will probably stand out as one of the best characterizations of the season. Surprisingly good is Ndansia Kumalo, of Matabeleland, who plays the part of King Lobengula of that country. The, old king really goes through some fine emoting. Although the film, a British production, drags at times the lault probably can be laid to the difference in the British and American psychology in telling a story. Likewise, Anna Carpenter (played by Peggy Ashcroft), the nearest thing to a heroine that “Rhodes” contains, is not what the American public demands as a heroine. But as an epic film, telling a great story about a great man, one can hardly imagine a nobler production than the Gaumont-British Cos. has filmed. Gertrude Michael Termed “Find” The Circle offers, as an additional treat on this week’s program, a delightful spy story, “Till We Meet Again.” It boasts of the appearance of Herbert Marshall and the debut of Gertrude Michael, who this writer believes t-> be grandest “find” of 1936. The story has to do with a British actor and an Austrian actress, whose love affair is blasted when both are called into the intelligence

Valorg (Ross Alexander), with his painting. Os course, she is accused by gossipers of being in love with him. When Erik confesses his love for her, and is killed accidentally while drunk, gossip becomes so malicious she can remain in Williamsburg no longer. • Failure of the city’s “best families” to concern themselves with the illness of a poor Swedish woman and her former servant, Bea Sorenson (Louise Fazenda), lessens her desire to be accepted by Williamsburg society. Choses Separation Defeated and discouraged, she tries the one way out she sees—separation from a devoted husband whom she loves. The separation works—to brifig her back to him, chastized and more tolerant of “Main Street,” which, in this case, is Williamsburg. Together for the first time since their successful “Oil for the Lamps of China,” Mr. O’Brien’s and Miss Hutchinson’s reunion is a happy one for admirers of both players. Asa team they play together naturally and effectively. We hope to see them together more frequently. With his characteristic, youthful enthusiasm, Ross Alexander plays the role of reckless, indealistic Erik. Competent players, including Guy Kibbee, Olin Howland, Margaret Irving and Ray Mayer, have supporting roles. (By R. N.)

service of their respective countries. When they meet as enemies, and decide to face death together rather than betray each other, the film reaches its climax. It contains excellent acting and fine entertainment with Lionel Atwill sneering again as the villain who this time unites the lovers in the end. (By J. W. TANARUS.) Rehearses Before Mirror Gertrude Michael, currently playing opposite Herbert Marshall in “Forgotten Faces,” always stands in front of a mirror when she rehearses her lines. She finds this an important aid in “setting” a character.

Ellington's Band Entertains Lyric Patrons With Latest Brand of Torrid Hi-de-ho Best Offering Is Duke’s Composition, 'Solitude,’ With Ivy Anderson Vocalizing; Negro Vaudeville Artists Aid Bill; Movie Is 'The Country Beyond.’ Displaying their newest brand of hi-de-ho, Duke Ellington’s band, with the debonair “Duke” directing, are cutting up on the Lyric stage this week in their best Cotton Club manner. Although about half of the Ellington band’s popularity growls from the fact that members seem to have as much fun playing as the aUx dience does listening, the orchestra is capable of good popular music.

Mr. Ellington’s aggregation is best in its adaptation of his famous composition, “Solitude.” Here is the essence of Negro music, played as only they can play it. Strut Fast Steps Along with the band, the Lyric is presenting a group of Negro vaudeville acts. First to show is a quartet of youngsters, billed as the Step Brothers. Their dancing is excellent in its line, and the boys have the knack of getting the audience to applaud at will. Another dance team, Cook and Brown, has its best moments while the smaller member of the duo does his best to shake himself apart. The inevitable appearance of the popular girl songstress, Ivy Anderson, always takes well with Lyric fans. This year she sings several of her novelty numbers and ends her act with the vocal part of “Solitude.” Band Flashily Dressed The band is resplendent this season in white dinner jackets, red trousers and bright red leather shoes. There is the usual amount of “hot” trumpeting, “skat” singing and all the trimmings of the traditional “torrid” music program. Mr. Ellington’s organization stands high in this classification. On the Lyric screen is “The Country Beyond,” starring Rochelle Hudson and Paul Kelly with anew leading man, Robert Kent. The story concerns a recruit of the Royal Canadian Mounted police, played by Mr. Kent, who is sent to the Black River outpost by his father, a police commissioner.
