the belated discovery that one of

Hollywood's best dialog writers is Jane Austen.

This discovery may Austen. After all, great English novelists for and Prejudice” has new field when it finally was dramatized successfully five years ago. But what should please Miss Austen, from her celestial vantage | point, is the handsome way in which | her novel has been brought to the screen. Producer Hunt Stromberg chose a brilliant cast, and chose it with discernment. Director Robert Z. Leonard has caught and preserved the spirit of the original. And the players, from stars to walk-ons, play the piece with zest and relish. This certainly isn’t the time or occasjon to go into a critical appreciation of “Pride and Prejudice.” But another admiring word might be said of Miss Austen in the light of her novel's present incarnation. The plot. of course, is based upon a way of living and a code of behavior as foreign to the present day as the ancient Egyptian civilivation. In dramatic form, “Pride and Prejudice” is notable for its abundance of words and lack of action—a situation, by the way, in which the movies do not find their happiest expression. Yet the words of. this wordy film are so brilliant, so revealing and discerning and archly humorous as to make this deathless comedy undeviatingly delightful. And probing scalpel of observation cuts ficialities of early

English life and shows her char- |

acters as being of flesh and blood and universal humanity. Greer Garson's Elizabeth Bennet {s as warm and winning and delicately humorous as was her Mrs. Chips. It is good to see Hollywood giving her something worthy of her talents after her first American assignment, the late unpleasantness also involving Robert Taylor and Lew Avres. (The name, fortunately, escapes me.) As Darcy, Laurence Olivier is convincingly handsome and arrogant and ardent, as the occasion demands. Mary Boland is a definite hit as Mrs. Bennet, her antic gifts | fitting perfectly with the vulgar, | tactless and persistent Mrs. search for wealthy sons-in-law. In fact, the whole company {is one of those gold-plated affairs that Metro assembles upon occasion.

Edna May Oliver seldom has been|

better than as Lady Catherine. Melville Coover’s Collins is a joy to behold. Edmund Gwenn is excellent as Mr. Bennet and so are Maureen O'Sullivan, Ann Rutherford, Heather Angel and Marsha Hunt, who play the other Bennet girls. Also scattered through the pic-

ture are such capable performers as |

Frieda Inescort, Karen Morley and the late E. E. Clive. By way of contrast, Loew's offers a slice of contemporary life called “We Who Are Young.” The beauteous Lana Turner and a newcomer, John Shelton, are the principals involved in this story of marriage and parenthood and the triumph of young love and courage over the big city and an insufficient weekly pay check, —J. T.

No one ever accused “The Comedy of Errors” of being one of Shakespeare’s immortal masterpieces.

Consequently none of the pedants felt very hurt when Broadway's

George Abbott took the plot, threw|

away the Shakespeare lines, added some Rodgers and Hart tunes, played horse with it generally and called it “The Boys from Syracuse.” It's the Abbott, not the Shakespeare version that now has come to the screen, with a few original touches. It's good fun. The tunes are good, though familiar by this time. and there are enough laughs to keep the entertainment-seeker happy. Most of the added amusement revolves ¢bout such sure-fire prac-

| pets. There's even a sign which reads “Indianapolis City Limits.” On the reliable hunch that everyone hasn't read or seen “The Comedy of Errors,” here's the slender plot in an even more slender outline: A Greek gentleman had twin sons, (who in turn had twin slaves. To make it more confusing, both sons were named Antipholus and both slaves, Dromio. Somehow they got separated, one pair of master and servant going to Ephesus, and the other staying in Syracuse, the old home town. Well, one day the boys from Syracuse drop in on Ephesus. It's a bad time to go visiting, because they've just passed a law providing for the beheading of all Syracusians found in the city. The boys from Syracuse don’t know that their twins are even alive, let alone that they're Ephesian big shots. So when they arrive, the mistaken-identity situation assumes alarming proportions. The Syracuse visitors take over the local Antipholus’ home. Each inherits a wife. But Antipholus of S. falls in love with his brother's sister-in-law. That makes it even worse. And so it goes. The boys are all but killed. And in the end they have to resort to the horse-opera chase (using chariots) to get everything straightened out. There are plenty of comedians, goodness knows: Martha Raye, Joe Penner, Charles Butterworth, Alan Mowbray, Eric Blore, Tom Dugan, Spencer Charters. Allan Jones sings a good bit, and so do Rosemary Lane and the team of Penner and Rave. Irene Hervey looks exceedingly beautiful, which is quite enough. All in all, it’s a reasonably amusing show. My only exception is a |purely personal one, and involves the casting of Joe Penner as the twin Dromios. The Indiana's

second feature, “Private Affairs,” is also a comedy, enlisting the services of Nancy Kelly and Robert Cummings for romantic interest, and Hugh Herbert and Roland Young for the more ro- | bust fun. —J. T.

. Lyric Benny Meroff's “Funzafire” revue is a frank and partially successful imitation of Olson and Johnson's superbly irrational “Hellzapoppin,” now in its 98th week in New York City. The idea behind both shows is a natural. It was nurtured by circus clowns and brought to full flower by Ole and Chic. ® Zanies running up and down the

aisles embarrassing the cash customers and irresponsible goofs heckling the performers from a box are sure-fire show stoppers. That is, if the gags are good and the situations newer than Uncle Zeke's Model T. For while this type of comedy looks as if it were scrambled together 10 minutes before curtain time and some of the “business” seems ad-libbed it actually has taken as much study as more sane revues. The plot can be old but the lines must have glitter. At least they must be brighter than the one pulled by the stooge who rises in his box shouting “Down with the bosses.” “What bosses?” asks Meroff. Fist clenched and mayhem in his eyes the stooge shouts: “Greyhound busses.” But many of the gags are spun of the finest screwballism.

Don Wright Didn't See Movie But He Found His Garenr)

By DAVID MARSHALL

ONE NIGHT when Don Wright was 14, he went to see a movie He never saw it. But before he left

at the Fountain Square Theater. he was in show business.

He then was a junior at Manual Training High School, taking a | He had no more definite idea about what he wanted to be when he reached the shaving stage than do today's youngsters.

general course,

His best friend—Forest Sconce —made up his mind for him. Forest took Don to see the manager about a job ushering nights. Unusually tall for his age (then, as now, he missed six feet by an inch), Don was hired, given a uniform and put to work. That was 13 years ago. Today Mr. Wright is manager of the Rivoli and Parker theaters and right-hand man to Joseph Cantor, owner of those houses plus the Emerson, Esquire, and Sheridan. Don stayed at the Fountain Square only a month and then followed Forest Sconce into the Indiana. There he did everything but operate the projectors. For three months he worked week-ends. then he was on the regular 4 p. m. to 10 p. m. trick. During his senior year he went to Manual in the morning and worked from 12:30 p. m. until closing.

o 8 ”

IN AN EIGHT-YEAR span he was extra usher, regular usher, second lieutenant, first lieutenant, floor captain, assistant chief of service, doorman, treasurer and assistant manager.

He even made some stage appearances. During the streamlined version of “The Great Waltz” he filled in as a dancer in the ballroom scene. He's been a stooge for Professor Lamberti, the xylophone comedian, and disappeared a couple of times for Thurston, the magician.

Following custom, the Indiana closed in April of 1936 for the summer months. Two days before its shutdown, Mr. Cantor had acquired the Rivoli. He offered Don the managership. Since, Mr, Wright has been the major domo of the Cantor chain, When Mr. Cantor took over the Sheridan last summer, Mr. Wright organized the staff. He opened the Esquire in November. All of the chain's employees have been trained under Mr. Wright including the managers of each of the other theaters. Several years ago his friend Forest Sconce died trying to rescue his small son from the flaming Sconce home at Columbus, Ind. Don is married, has a daughter, Carolvn, 7. They have a scottie named Butch. Managing a neighborhood theater, he says, is like living in a small town. “The big downtown theaters principal trade is transient,” he explained. “In the two years I was doorman I only knew about 50 persons by name. Out here I know everyone because they keep coming back night after night. And everyone is friendly to you.” Since Mr. Wright manages both the Rivoli and the Parker Le must open both boxoffices at 5:30 p. m. and clgse them both at 9:30 p. m. He won't tell you how he does it. Maybe it's a secret he learned from Thurston.

ONE OF THE FIRST big pictures Myrna Low and Clark Gable made together—“Too Hot to Handle” —is being brought back to the Paramount Tuesday and Wednesday. . . . Having to stand at the last show at the Strand has its compensations. As the wait gets tiresome Claude Allison gets out the large popcorn bowl and passes the puffed kernels around. . . . The Esquire today began a Saturday matinee policy. . . . From now on the North Side’s newest movie house will open at 2 p. m. on Saturday with a 20-cent admission. . . . Kids 10 cents. . . . When the Olson Theaters managers gathered for their weekly meeting yesterday, David Thomas, Lyric assistant manager, was passing out the cigars. . . . It’s a 6-pound girl, at Methodist Hospital.

'The Great McGinty,” Political . | Comedy, Captivates Film Town.

Los Angeles, 1s “‘obliged” to help develop the film industry in Latin American nations

SWIM LONGACRE

By PAUL HARRISON

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 3 (NEA).—The whole town’s talking about “The a robust punch-packed, sure-fire comedy about politics

Great McGinty,” in a big city.

Loud, tough, sentimental, sad, and mestly funny in agreeable proportions, it is the neatest job of straightaway entertainment that has come

from the film factories in a year. It was made at less than average cost, and in less than average time. “The Great McGinty” has no great names in its cast, and it is the first picture ever directed by Preston Sturges, who also wrote the story. Brian Donlevy, in the top role, has been playing stereotyped heavies for years and had about despaired of ever getting such a part as this. England's Muriel Angelus, who has the feminine lead, was heartbroken at being dismissed by Paramount shortly before the preview the other night. She feels better now. Every studio in town is bidding for her. The story probably was the cheapest ever purchased. When Sturges, long an ace screen writer, was given a directorship by Paramount, he asked to be allowed to film this original comedy. Executives said no--that they had another story they liked better and could get cheaper, “Not cheaper,’ said Sturges. “You can have the McGinty story for nothing if I direct it.” So the deal was made, with Sturges getting a check for $10 to make it legal. 2 ” ” BIGGEST picture soon to hit the screen is “Boom Town,” a West Texas oil yarn. This movie also is swell entertainment.— “Boom Town” has been fashioned by routine processes, and it stands for everything in the pretentious Hollywood tradition. It's loaded with stars—Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Hedy Lamarr, in that financial order. The sets are realistic, including a town and oil derricks built on Metro's back lot. Without preliminary title or credits, the first few seconds of the picture seemed to promise only a dull commercial short about the oil industry. Long Beach fans who happened to be present during a surprise showing, straightened in astonish-

ment when a barber yanked a steaming towel from the rugged pan of an oil worker who looked like Spencer Tracy. They yipped with excited comprehension when Clark Gable entered, and a moment later cheered at the sight of the Misses Coibert and Lamarr. I have no idea how much money the picture cost, except that $1,500,000 is the smallest figure mentioned. People close to the production say that two million dollars is a conservative estimate. The highly paid director, Jack Conway, indulged by the highly paid producer, Sam Zimbalist, did a perfectionist’s job in the profligate fashion which only rich Metro can afford. It cost so much, and is acknowledged to be such an exceptional feature, that M-G-M now is trying it out in five representative cities with the idea of offering it everywhere at advanced prices.
