Loew's

To all you who like dancing we say: see “Broadway Melody of 1940.” The movie carries on the “Melody” tradition of big sets and beautiful girls with Fred Astaire and Eleanor Poweil doing taps, swings and toe dances. Almost in.a class with Astaire is George Murphy; Tonglime

“Go to Loew's this week and

Broadway and Hollywood favorite. . Miss Powell is said to have more energy than any two girls in Hollywood and she must have needed it for the long hours of rehearsal necessary to bring the show's dance routines to their fine point. "Every time you see an Astaire show

-.you feel certain that he’s done

everything in-the way of new twists and, like this year’s automobile, he can never be any better. Yet in “Broadway Melody” he uncovers -several newstricks with his toes we haven't seen before. I liked particularly a double tap), routine at the picture’s opening with Astaire and Murphy doing a white tie and tails number, and a single Astaire does with a picture of Miss Powell as his partner. The story is background for the dancers. At the same time it deserves some credit and: mention “because in it the girl does not become a star and the-man she loves does not fade into oblivion and become a drunkard. Furthermore, she does not rescue him and they :do not spend the rest of their lives in a cottage by the sea clipping coupons

" from her bonds.

At the beginning, Astaire and Murphy are two-bit hoofers. By a break, Murphy gets a chance to become the partner of the lovely star, Miss Powell, ‘in her” newest show. I; was supposed to be Astaire that got the chance, but they got the names mixed. Murphy gets a swelled head ‘and also gets drunk. Astaire covers up for him a couple of times, but on the opening night, he has to go on for him. He does such a good job that when Murphy gets drunk the second time Astaire does the whole show. The catch is that Murphy didn’t really get drunk the second time; he got regenerated and, knowing that Astaire loved Eleanor and was a better dancer, anyway, fixed things to, work out that way. The other picture stars Jack Holt in “Outside the Three Mile Limit” —way outside—(H. M.)

Lyric

Paul Whiteman has been leading a top flight American orchestra since early in the Twenties, and he’s still the man to look up for

perfection in music. In his program yesterday starting a week's run at the ‘Lyric, he and the orchestra played music. There arén’t any other acts. Every-

_ thing comes out of the band.

Mr. Whiteman also introduced two new ‘singing stars, Joan Edwards and Bob Hannon, the latter a good Irish tenor. Mr. Whiteman starts with a medley of some of the tunes he's made famous during the years. Naturally, the first was “Rhapsody in Blue.” This is followed by “Whispering,” “Avalon,” “In a Little Spanish Town,” “When Day Is Done” and “Three Little Words.” This last one is hard to recognize. A septet of trumpets and saxaphones does the business for it in an arrangement that probably only Whiteman would attempt. Mike Pingatore does a banjo solo or “Linger Awhile” to close that portion of the program. The oréhestra does three straight numbers. Two of them, “Angry” and ' “Indian Summer,® are fine. “Angry,” Mr. Whiteman’ introduces as a number he first played when he was a bandmaster in the U. S. Navy. The other sfraight number is a typical Whiteman piece that has given him his reputation. It's “Cherokee” and the band does things that are impossible as far as restrained rhythms are concerned. The Modernaires do two numbers. One of them caught the audience’s fancy. It was "In the Mood,” swung like a gate.’ They do a trick flight on “Oh, Johnny,

. Oh,” asking Bonnie just who is this , guy “Johnny.”

The show closes with the Modernaires and Miss Edwards in a costumed “Rhumba Jump." This is one of the pieces, incidentally, from “Three After Three,” the musical comedy that just finished a three-day run here last week. The movie is “Slightly “Honorable,” with Pat O'Brien, Edward Arnold, Broderick Crawford and Ruth. Terry.—(H. M.)

which was. seen on English’s ‘stage in December. . who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-win-ning play, . has recast 'it for the screen with a rare discernment.- And Raymond Massey : has transferred| his memorable stage characterization to the screen with no loss of luster. Grand as the theatrical: production was, it seems that the screen has been able to tell this story of Lincoln evén better. Where the play

ing abrupt transitions and including several favorite items of Lincolniana. -which ‘could not be included on the stage.

l Meets Ann Rutledge

So we now see Lincoln on his first flat-boat trip to New Orleans, where the cargo of pigs: spilled out on a dam by New Salem, giving Lincoln an introduction to Ann Rutledge and‘ his future home, as well

as a thorough drenching. Also there is the Black Hawk War episode in Lincoln’s life and the occasion when he vanquished Jack Armstrong in a wrestling match. Beyond the early scenes, the movie follows the play more closely. We see the hesitant young lawyer goaded by destiny—in the form of his friends and later his wife—toward his apparently ordained position in the White House. We come to know, far more clearly than in any other Lincoln picture, that hére was a living, breathing man, possessed of human weakness as well as greatness, whom Fate led along a reluctant path, forcing him to triumph and tragedy. Until Mr. Sherwood came along, the theater -and -screen -had: heen too prone to forget .that Lincoln lived 52 of his 36 ors in. the Middle West; that he was, to himself and his neighbors, a lawyer and politician of scarcely more than local reputation; that without the constant pressure of Mary Todd Lincoin, and of Herndon, Edwards, Speed and his other intimates, his depth- of wisdom and humanity would never havé comé to the surface in all its crystallized greatness.

Portrays “Real” Lincoln

Anyone who prefers’ the: nobility of human grandeur to the pale outlines of a plaster saint ‘will find in “Abe Lincoln in Illinois”. one of Hollywood’s most significant contributions. Here, thanks to Mr. Sher-

wood’s sympathetic understanding and reverent approach toward his subject, is the real and undeniable Lincoln. Mr. Massey has grown into his part until his play-acting ceases to be that, and the illusion becomes complete. His portrayal has humor and grief, strength and doubt, ¢c.mpletely realized. In the scenes of the debate with Douglas and of Lincoln's farewell to his Springfield friends as he departs for Washington, Mr. Massey reaches. heights which seldom have been attained in any picture. The words, though collected and arranged by Mr. Sherwood, are Lincoln’s own. And the speaker becomes. Lincoln. Time and surroundings vanish, and the audience is taken back and permitted to live for a few moments as the great American’s contemporaries.

Miss Gordon Outstanding

Equaling Mr. Massey's . Lincoln as a dramatic achievement is the) 3 Mary Todd which Ruth Gordon | V plays In his first screen role. Miss Gordon has seen this tragic figure clearly and played her honestly, neither making an undue bid for sympathy nor transforming her into an ogre. And with these two examples of the actor’s art can stand Gene Lockhart’s Stephen Douglas, the brilliant, arrogant, polished, crafty, yet loyal Little Giant, who ‘fought Lincoln bitterly without losing hig admiration for him. There are many other remarkably good performances—Mary Howard's Ann Rutledge, and those by Harvey Stephens, Minor Watson, Alan Baxter and ‘Aldrich. Bowker as Lincoln’s quartet of lifelong ‘and devoted friends, Ninian Bdwards, Joshua Speed, Billy Herndon and Judge Bowling Green. \. The playing and John Cromwell's direction are such as to make the picture one which ‘you can enjoy without reservation. It is a fine and understanding tribute to a great man, and one of the finest of “the year’s fine pictures. —J. T.

THE STAGE

By JAMES THRASHER

Modern-Day 'Penrod' ‘Brightens Civic Stage

~HENRY ALDRICH, who bids fair to become the Penrod of the present decade, came back to Indianapolis last night in Clifford Goldsmith’s richly amusing comedy, “What a Life.” - “Henry. has been here before, first on English’s stage, then on the Circle screen and finally on the radio, where he may be found each Tuesday night af 7 o'clock. His most recent appearance ,and the one

in question; was a the Civic The.ater last night, where he was portrayed by William H. Cook to the: vast delight of # large audience, including many of Henry's high school contemporaries. : For, just in case Henry has not crossed : your ‘path, he is a misunderstood, - maligned plaything of fate whose high school career, during three acts, makes Job's existence look like the life of Riley. Everything happens to Henry. He draws - pictures of his teachers, chéats in an examination, is ac-. ed of theft, is browbeaten by an ambitious mother and a corps * of exasperated teachers. In short, what happens to Hénry shouldn't be wished on your worst enemy. ” » ” HENRY'S ADVENTURES, as I have said, are an old story. Yet they made the house rock with laughter last night, gnd for good reason. “What a Life” is more than a series of gags and situations, * It is brilliantly satirical look at the teachers and students of any given high school. The students are sketched in with a true appreciation and understanding of human behavior during adolescence. And the teachers are viewed mercilessly by one who used to be a. teacher himself. I should have loved to have gone to high school to Clifford Goldsmith, but I ‘'shouldn’t have wanted him as a member of my faculty if I were superintendent. Becaysé of the fact that “What a Life” arises frorn reality rather than wise-cracks, it has the elements of deathless and undated humor. To this member of the audience it was as funny last night as it was on its former trips here, and seem likely to rétain its quota of laughs 10 years from now. Much credit for ‘the good time

| spirit admirably, from the depths

must go to Mr. Cook. Informed

sources reported that his debut at Henry coincided with’ his 32d birthday. But behind the footlights he is the convincing “not quite 17,” which is young Mr. Aldrich’s age. Mr. Cook has the face, figure and spirit for Henry. Even his voice can—and does— take on that unpredictability of adolescence. He plays with the zest and zip which farce requires, making the most of his lines and generally conducting himself in a manner not unworthy of the professional, » o 2 ABLY abetting Mr. Cook, and comforting Henry in his distress, is Gwendolyn Schort. Miss Schort plays Barbara Pearson, Henry’s “girl friend” and a very present help in time of trouble. And her performance catches the

of high school cynicism down to the last girlish giggle. Other principals are played by T. M. Overley, Egan Leck, Marjorie Ann Bunch, J. B. Cusick, John - H. Elam, Mildred - ‘Post Milliken, Louise Swan, Robert Hanika and Elizabeth Bogert Schofield. - There is no need for a, division of dramatic sheep from goats; it only need be said that Director Edward Steinmetz has achieved an uneven production. Against the bright moments referred to above there were, last night, some rather inept interludes.

But in general the Civic presentation adds up to an evening of rousing fun, thanks largely to Mr. Goldsmith and the cast’s two chief characters. And it should be added that William W. Brenn’s setting is as good, -if not better than that seen in the professional production here. The engagement will continue nightly Jhrough Wednesday.

Horowitz Plays Here Monday

Vladimir Horowitz, the brilliant Russian pianist, will make his belated and long-gwaited appearance on the Martens | Joncerts course on

Monday night, shen he plays a -recital at English’s. Booked here fdur seasons ago, Mr. Horowitz’ was forced to cancel all engagements because of a serious and protracted |illness which has kept him away from the concert stage until this year. Reviews of his European and | American recitals since his return to concertizing have indicated that his prodigious technical powers are undiminished. For his Indianapolis program, Mr. Horewitz has chosen the following cothpositions: | :
