If Avery Hopwood had written “Enoch Arden, *” the result very likely would have resembled the comedy called “Too Many HusAs it is, the screen play is credited to-an original by W. Somerset Maugham, ‘with Hollywood touches, of course. Anyway, the film is akin in spirit to those naively daring charades known as “bedroom farces,” which flourished back in the early 1920's. Remember “Up in Mabel’'s Room,” “Fair and Warmer,” and the like? Well, “Too Many Husbands” is a direct descendant. There is a lot of boudoir badinage, though it’s all so innocent that the Hays office probably passed it without so much as a twitch of an eyebrow. All the trouble revolves about Bill Cardew, who has the wanderlust: his wife Vicky, of warm heart and undecided mind, and Bill's friend and partner in the publishing who is blessed with an extremely sympathetic nature. * Bill's wanderlust takes him off oni a solitary cruise. He's reported drowned, and after six months, the sympathetic Henry and the warmhearted Vicky are married. months more, and Bill is rescued from his desert island, gets a shave. flies home, and the triangle starts spinning like a pinwheel. All this happens early in the picture. Of course, it takes no great deductive powers to foresee the dilemma and the conclusion. So it's up to director, scripters and actors to keep the audience amused until the feature has run its accustomed course and made way for Donald Duck, the newsreel and the second feature. Fortunately, “Too Many Husbands” has Wesley Ruggles, an enthusiastic farceur, at the helm. It likewise has Ciaude Binyon’s wit to add to Mr. Maugham's reasonably funny situations. And as the starring trio, there are Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray and Melvyn Douglas, all players who know what to do with a gag when it’s thrown to them. - As ‘a result there are plenty of laughs and enough speed to banish boredom, even though there's scarcely enough plot to last out a one-act play. While “Too Many Husbands” doesn’t rank with the classic Capra comedies (that would be asking too much) it comes most ‘happily upon a time when comedies have been few and of a minorleague variety. Both the husbands are excellent, and Miss Arthur is quite as irresistibly cunning as ever. There also is

“a corking good performance by

Harry Davenport as Vicky's father. All in all, it’s a pleasant piece. To complete Loew's bill, Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore return in another entertaining offering in their “Dr. Kildare” series. It olds up to the precedent set in the earlier Kildare films, and is ornamented by good porformances by the principals and Laraine Day, who continues to look like a promising prospect for future cinema days.—J. T.

Circle

“Dr. Cyclops” is a thrilier of the; old school, with pienty of suspense, a villain that doesn't overplay his role but is fiendish just the same, and a few laughs. Its chief claim to attention is its motif, the reduction in size of normal irglividuals to about 14 inches and a ‘pound and a quarter. The victims have to climb about 15 (of their) feet to sit down in chairs. <= They use ° scissors for Chickens are likely to mistake them for dinner and cats become ferocious beasts. Their sole haven is .a cactus patch. An alligator looks like a reformed brontosaurus. Launching a canoe is like trying to get a yawl off a reef. The trouble starts when two scientists, one of them a lovely young lady, a mineralogist and a mule-driver are summoned to the Peruvian retreat of a scientist. The scientist is at the close of an experiment that he will not disclose to his colleagues. When he discovers them in his laboratory, he uses them for the final step in his experiments. They come out a foot high and at the mercy of the scientist, whom,

* by this time, they have named “Dr.

Cyclops,” because of his madness and his near-blindness. At this point they start Having their adventures. They get away, hide in the brush, and he fires the brush. They get away again and break his glasses. They try to shoot him. There ought to be some joy of climax left to those who see the picture sa I won't tell you how they finally get out of their predicament. They finally, however, regain their normal size. It seems like an afterthought, but the mineralogist and the girl scientist decide to get

' married.

Albert Dekker takes the role of Dr. Thorkel, the mad “Dr. Cyclops.” The girl and the boy are played by Janice Logan and Thomas Coley. The other picture is good fare, none other than Ray Milland and Ellen Drew in the movie version of the stage hit, “French Without Tears.” —(H. M.)

Tndiana

At first. “Johnny Apollo” may strike you "as being a rather strange picture. ‘There’s Tyrone Power, for -instance, not as a 19th Century American -badman, or a French canal builder, or a Danish count, but as a fairly healthy and normal young citizen of 1940 A. D. Likewise, Dorothy Lamour, who wears dresses; hats and hosiery, has her hair pinned up and generally gives no indication of being the perennial Polynesian peril of stout-hearted men. And though the film was made by 20th Cen-tury-Fox, it has .two Paramount standbys in Miss Lamour and Lloyd Nolan, and its technique is straight from the Warner Bros. school of cinema gangsterism. However, and here's the important point, -it. all’ adds up to a diwverting melodrama. There are moments when the motivation may puzzle you slightly. - But the picture has been directed by Henry Hathaway in such a way that the characters emerge as real - persons, for the most part, rather than just types. This is especially true in the case of Mr. Nolan, who plays the softhearted gangster (not an unfamiliar personage, certainly), with relish and able restraint, and in the performance by Charley Grapewin as Judge Brennan, the: gangsters’ “mouthpiece.” The Judge is addicted to highballs of scotch and milk, but even this. perverted taste should net alienate the audience’s affection. Fresh from his triumphs as Grandpa in “The Grapes of Wrath,” Mr. Grapewin looks equally good in an entirely different assignment. “Tells Off” Father “Johnny Apollo” is a story of rather mixed-up loyalty. The title is the assumed name of Bob Cain, whose rich father is called to account in a slight matter of some embezzled millions. The pampered son takes one look at the headlines, assumes that ‘his father is guilty, and proceeds to “tell him off.” The elder Cain (Edward Arnold) also has a few choice words saved up.

So Bob goes out job hunting, and the elder Cain goes to the penitentiary, where he becomes a model prisoner, Meanwhile, Bob learns more about life than the college crew ever taught- him. He fails to get, jobs if he uses his own name, gets one under an assumed one and is promptly fired’ when his identity is known. In addition, he finds out that his father's lawyer is crooked. Money, the young man finds, is pretty necessary. For one thing, it helps in getting’ paroles. So he hunts up the Judge, is led into Mickey Dwyer’s gang by a train of circumstances, and winds up as a smart young racketeer. All this, of course, is just to get money for his father’s bail. But the affable Mickey makes use of his smart young friend as a stooge. (And the fact. that Bob, or Johnny, is the object of Mickey's girl’s affection doesn’t help any. When the Judge tries to help the girl and Johnny, Mickey stabs him. He, Johnny and another of their coterie are “sent up” to the prison where the elder Cain is still the pillar of penal virtue. In fact he circumvents a jail-break in which his son is involved. Needless to say, Cain recovers from a gunshot wound sustained in the encounter; Johnny is absolved of blame in the shooting, and Lucky, the giri, conveniently drops out ‘of their lives.

Mr. Arnold Does Good Job

Anyone whose taste runs to underworld drama should find this one decidedly above the average. In addition to the work by Messrs. Nolan and Grapewin, you may be assured of a capable job by Mr. Arnold and a good bit by Marc Lawrence. Mr. Power does considerably better than he has in recent assignments, which may be faint praise but at least it's something. And Miss Lamour assumes the trappings of civilization: after her Fiji furlough * with considerable ease. As a preliminary to the main go, there is the impassive and imperturable Mr. Charles Chan, portrayed by . Sidney ‘Toler, again that malefaction is no match for Oriental sagacity. For ihe record, the picture is called “Charlie Chan in Panama.” —J. T. ,

body of somebody in a famous painting. . Currently the town is snickering at Decker’s “Victoria Regina” because the face is that of bulbous-snozzled W. C. Fields. Similarly the head of Harpo Marx tops the figure of the elegant “Blue Boy,” Greta Garbo is Raphael's “Mona Lisa,” Mickey Rooney's tough mug is set on a Van Dyke foppish boy's figure.

Marx Brothers Pleased

The artist won’t do these cari-cature-composites according to any ideas but his own. First one he did here was George Arliss as Whistler's portrait of Carlyle—a huge canvas that Arliss put over his fireplace. Next he painted the Marx Brothers—when Zeppc was still. with the gang—as Rembrandt’s Burgomeisters. They were so delighted that they ordered four additional copies, one as a gift for Director Norman McLeod. Groucho says he built his new home around his® picture. Fields wants his Queen Victoria portrait hut hesitates to pay the price, though he was an excited guest at the unveiling held in Gene Fowler's office the other day.

ed-headed artiste with’ a malicious

sense of humor is getting a lot of fun out of his hobby of caricaturing

‘Considerable money, too, because if an actor doesn't want to buy his portrait, his friends usually bid for it. John Decker’s trick is transposing the face of a living subject to the

Fields as Victoria Regina hy Sir John Decker, R. A.” “I knighted myself for that,” the artist. explained casually. Decker. is so clever at copying old masters that he once bought a long-coveted Modigliani, sight unseen, and found on delivery that it was one he had done himself. He isn’t any slouch at originals, either; had a one-man show here recently. Alan Mowbray collects Deckers and has 32 of them now.

Does Serious Portraits

Lately he has tried his hand at movie poster art—did that “Swiss Family Robinson” one you've been seeing everywhere. He also reproduces famous works of art for the elaborate movie colony homes, or he'll obligingly do serious por‘traits in the style of any of the masters. Many a client has pointed to a Decker-created likeness. and said, “That's me—by Reubens.” An executive who selected Van Dyke's style as the one in which he wanted to be immortalized never could remember the celebrated name, and during every party he'd telephone Decker to ask, | Say, who was that guy who painted me?”

Miss Zorn Maps Chicago Recital

Having played her New York debut recital last week, Marie Zorn, pianist of the Jordan Conservatory faculty; is preparing for a Chicago appearance on May 6. Miss Zorn will be soloist in a performance of Henry Hadley’s Concertino with the Illinois Symphony Orchazstra, Isler Solomon conducting, at the Studebaker Theater. Favorable reception prevailed in the notices of Miss Zorn’s Town Hall recital. Said the New York Times’ critic: “Miss Zorn possessed fleet, sure fingers. Her playing was intelligent, clean-cut and refined.” The New York Post spoke of her “forthright, well-intoned performance.” The Journal and American reviewer described the Indianapolis pianist as “a serious and earnest musician,” and the Herald-Tribune spoke of her “dependable technique.” > .“To make a debut with a Bach program requires not only courage, but solid ability,” said the New York Staatszeitung und Herold review. “Miss Zorn commands a marvelously well-developed technique and nimble fingers with which. she can produce firm rhythms and a warm, round tone which rises clear and beautifully molded.”

NEWSPAPER FILM

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, April 20.—“Foreign Correspondent” is the title chosen by Walter Wanger for his forthcoming production “inspired by” Vincent Sheean’s “Personal History,” the film’s original title,

- World events, Mr. Wanger has explained, have compelled the creation of a new screen story. And the producer has preferred not to “compromise” Mr, Sheean’s account of his personal adventures as a newspaperman in Europe. A contributing factor in the change of story was the loss of several reels of background shots, taken in Europe, which went down on a torpedoed ship in the North Sea. Charles Bennett and Joan Harrison are writing the screen play and James Hilton is doing the dialog. Featured in the picture are Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall and Robert Benchley.
