: / J Loew's | . Anyone who saw “The Good Fairy,” some five seasons ago, should be pleased to learn that Margaret Sullavan and Frank Morgan are
having a reunion in Budapest.
For Ferenc Molnar’s gay comedy, set
in" the Hungarian capital, lingers; in a mov je-crammed mind as one of the really, delightful memories of the talkie era.
- Currently Miss Sullavan and Mr. Morgan are joined in Budapest by James Stewart for an engaging trifle called ‘The Shop Around the Corner,” at Loew's this week. Ernst _ Lubitsch directed. And were it.not for. the famed “Lubitsch touch” and the principals’ performances, this story would be decidedly different. As it is, the sentimental little comedy sparkles in a rather commonplace setting. Miss Sullavan can always be depended upon for a graceful and heart-warming performance, which she gives here. Mr. Stewart is still and always Mr. Stewart, though he is scarcely Hollywood’s most convincing Hungarian. And Mr. Morgan, who happily is not called upon to flut"ter, create a three-dimensional figuse of the harassed, crusty and soft-hearted shopkeeper. The screen play is by Samson Raphaelson, who is author of Gertrude Lawrences ciyrent Broadway play, “Skylark.” Mr. Raphaelson sets out to demolish, in a kindly and leisurely fashion, the ivorytowered structure! which young lovers build out of “ideals,” “philosophy” and other ingredients of upper-stratum courtship. Both Mr. Kralik and Miss Novak, who work for Matuschek & Co. (leather good and novelties), are corresponding with unknown soulmates. The high-mindedness of their literary love affair doesn’t kep them from quarreling with each other in a very normal and youthful manner, however. The audience has concluded who the soulmates are, of course, long before Mr. Kralik discovers that his correspondent is also his nemesis during working hours. The light of disenchantment doesn’t break upon Miss Novak until the film’s final moments, and she takes it beautifully. There -is also a side plot in which Mr. Kralik is fired by Mr. Matuschek because the boss thinks the employee is having an affair with his: wife. The boss is partly right; he just had the wrong employee: So Mr. Kralik is reinstated and made store “manager on Christmas Eve. Most of the action takes place within the store, and the picture is squeezed down to stage play limitations. Against this demerit, however, ‘is the fact that the performances are much better than you will find in most pretentious and farflung epics. Besides the featured trio, the cast includes Felix Brissart, Sara Haden and young William Tracy, all of whom do excellent jobs. Your childhood hero, Nick Carter, steps out of the faded pages of his dime novel home into a world of speed and airplanes this week in Loew’s second picture. It is called simply “Nick Carter, Master Detective,” but to the complete Carter admirer, that is enough. Walter Pidgeon plays the doughty hero.—J. T.
Lyric Andy Devine and two of the Dead End Kids are putting on a stage show this week at the Lyric that’s a study in how to put over film notables in personal appearances. So many times the movie stars come in “cold” and they act like a man unexpectedly asked to toast his political enemy at a church banquet. The principals in the Lyric show have a well thought out act. Andy actually brought the galluses and boots he wears in a new picture and he presents a scene from the movie.

The Dead Enders include Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, who are assisted by Jackie Searl, also headlined, and Bob McClung and David Gorcey. Billy has brought along his little sister, Florence, who sings as well as being decorative. Billy Halop is expert as master of ceremonies for his group. The kids are good troupers, at ease and stagewise. The closing act is called the Four Franks. They are the “jivenest, tappinest, swingenest” bunch to hit the Big City for a long time. A double brother and sister act, each has a specialty. All of them are good tap dancers, one of them is outstanding. All play instruments. One| of the couples is particularly fine ‘in an acrobatic interpretation of one of the better love scenes between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. | Doris Mae Sparkles
There isn't a weak act in the show, which lasts more than an hour and a quarter. The opener is a three-person strong-girl number that achieves artistic posing. Also on the bill are Gilbert Forbes, WFBM| newscaster, and Doris Mae, who sings, dances and plays the marimba with sparkling results. Doris| Mae really sparkles. Her marimba playing has a new angle. She plays with metal mallets that carry an electric current. Every time she hits a note there’s a flash. The movie is “Money to Burn,” with most of the Gleason family, Russell,| Lucile and James. Ma Gleason, throws the whole ‘ family into a turmoil by entering prize contests and winning most of fone —H.
. Indiana A number of the younger fry from Hollywood are collaborating on a second edition of “Brother Rat,” called “Brother Rat and a Baby,” at the Indiana this week. The young folk spring around pretty actively and get themselves in and out of a number of jams that make fairly interesting looking. One of the military trio has got himself married since the last movie and now he has a baby called Commencement. Commencement has very little to do with the picture except act cute just like almost any other baby. .
Hunting Eddie a Job
The married one of the group is Eddie Albert. He wants to get a coaching job. Friend Wayne Morris appoints himself ‘commander-in-chief of the job campaign. Mr. Morris is a big, healthy, wellmeaning, dumb -cluck that succeeds in doing everything but get the job for Brother Eddie. As a result of his machinations, violins are “stolen,” model ships are broken up, the baby is kidnaped and valuable plans are destroyed. The only thing that can’t be blamed on Brother Wayne is ‘a fire that destroys a penthouse home of the only man who can do > anything for Brother Eddie.
Mice Are Swell
You probably can tell from the list of cataclysms that things are not dull -on the Rat Front. Eddie Albert is’ swell as the Beleaguered Rat. Very swell mice are Priscilla Lane and Jane Wyman. The cther movie is “British Intelligence,” with Boris Karloff and Margaret Lindsay. Miss Lindsay has the role of World War spy for one side, posing as a spy for the other side. Mr. Karloff’s evil doings, as usual, don’t quite come off and he is destroyed by an air raid bomb.—H. M. Circle It would have been a mistake to leave the Circle’s current picture with the title, “The Gay Days of Victor Herbert,” which it bore during its early production days. “For, aside from the music, it is anything but gay. The present title, “The Great Victor Herbert,” is also a trifle misleading. For the composer is only the third point of interest. Most of the dramatic attention is paid to a stereotyped retelling of the backstage story which inevitably seems to go with musical films. Again we meet the singer (tenor) who lifts another aftractive singer (soprano) from obscurity to his own They marry, and the wife eclipses her spouse. Jealousy reigns! The proud and stubborn tenor slips down and down, refusing to accept anything but top billing. The climax is reached when the wife, trying for a comeback, loses pet, voice shortly before curtain ti on opening night. Her ’teenage daughter, who apparently has never had a lesson in her life, goes on in her -stead. . The repentant husband shows up, goes on as a spear-carrier, and all ends on a note of \domestic felicity. For the Victor Herbert admirer, this film’s music should triumph over the ponderous and pretentious familiarity of the narrative. For

The leads are capably sung by Allan Jones and Mary Martin, the newcomer who sang “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” in Broadway's “Leave It To Me.” Susanna Foster, who is 15, discloses a remarkably high voice. Having never had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Herbert personally, I can only say that Walter Connolly, who plays him, seems to give an excellent impersonation of Walter Connolly. But neither he nor the other actors can be blamed for doing nothing with lines as trite as the situations.

“It is the Civic Theater's pleasure and privilege this week to present Maxwell Anderson’s “Knickerbocker Holiday” for the first time since
