'Homier' Theater Opens With 'Prettied Up' Feature Film.

unaccustomed sparkle, is off on the first ¥ promises to be a happier successful voyage. First of all, the theater: neo-Moorish temple of Washington | St. has taken on a “homier” atmos- | phere. There is a big rug covering the lobby; the stairways have been | recarpeted and the lounges refur- | nished. The whole place has a | warner, more inviting air about it which is a distinct and muchneeded improvement. The No. 1 item on bill “Wife, Doctor and it, too, is "prettied up’ for the occasion. One glance at the title is enough to tell you what the story | is about. But the old ‘‘eternal tri- | ngie” has been shined and polished, and the players zip through the picture with such a light and handsome grace that you find yourelf enjoying—well, almost every | moment. . Loretta Young, Warner Baxter and Virginia Bruce are wife, doctor | and nurse in the order named. Of the three, Miss Bruce carries off the honors for her convincing, unaffected performance of “Steve,” the doctor's indispensable assistant. She and Dr, Judd Lewis have | worked for five years with nary a | romantic thought for each other. | When Judd takes upon himself a wealthy young patient for a wife, the plot falls into its accustomed | round After Ina, wife. decides things over,

In addition, five young Negro singers offered a group of traditional music and “spirituals”’—with appropriate gestures. They were received warmly by a small audience. The orchestra, members, is under Paul Fidlar this year. Though it is not a first-rate group by any stretch of imagination, Mr. Fidlar has effected a considerable improvement in balance, precision and intonation.
