. Nothing Sacred’ Chosen As Hit Picture of November.
The Scripps-Howard movie re- _ viewers’ selection of “Nothing Sacred” as the Picture Hit for November was, as one critic put it, “like thanking someone for a kick in the pants.”
“Nothing Sacred,” you may re- §
member, gives the newspaper busi- _ ness quite a ribbing. If you saw the picture at Loew’s, you will recall Fredric March as the star reporter to whom the story was the thing, and Walter Connolly as the editor whose chief interest in the heroine's death was whether it would make the “edition or necessitate a replate. “Despite all this,” writes Carl Victor Little of the Oklahoma News, “and with the fortitude of a Chris- : tian and the forthrightness of a philosopher, cheer it-we must. This department has 52 Sundays a year to ‘dish it out.’ Surely we can take a a (or is it a diubbing just once—and like it.”
Post Writer Likes It
- Edward Carberry of the Cincinnati Post likes it because: “1t is one of the few sustained satirical farces ever turned out by Hollywood. “Its humor is in®the lusty tradition of ‘Front Page, ‘Boy Meets Girl, ‘Twentieth Century’—which is America’s very own. “It proves that Fredric March is not the very heavy ham you might have suspected from ‘Mary of Scotland’ and ‘Anthony Adverse.’ “For once, the magic of color technicians is an integrated part of

A few votes went to Fred Astaire’s “Damsel in-Distress,” and “Firefly,” which starred Jeanette MacDonald. Says Robert: Johnson of the Memphis Press-Scimitar, “Even without
the loveliest of the melodies, ‘The |
Firefly’ would be a fine picture, for its story content is rich and the sepia-platinum process gives it a spectacle appeal not appreached in normal screen photography.” The Scripps-Howard Picture Hit is announced mornthly after selections have been made by movie reviewers of the 24 Scripps-Howard newspapers throughout the country.

Laughter was divided between Mr. Dimond’s contra-bassoon and the fire trucks which played an offstage obbligato to the flute demonstration. “Every time I have a concert I also have a fire,” Mr. Sevitzky remarked.

He was heartily cheered after each | movement. Following the finale, which he took at a high speed the orchestra could not quite match, the audience gave Mr. Schwartz a pro-
| longed ovation.
It was a real treat to hear Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” Suite played by a full orchestra of competent musicians, and with a. gifted artist at the helm. “Morning,” sacred to vaudeville skirt-dancers, broke upon us with a new beauty. “Anitra’s Dance,” that favorite duet of student pianists, was done stunningly by the strings, as was “Ase’s Death.” And the “Hall of the Mountain King” eclimaxed the suite with its comic excitement,
A novelty was Cesana’s “Negro Heaven,” played here for the first time, It always is good fun to hear a symphony orchestra relax with a spot of jazz. And though Mr. Cesana’s music is nothing morg than ‘warmed-over Gershwin and Crofe, its vivid orchestral color made it enjoyable. From the “Ne ing climax, th
