By JAMES THRASHER WHAT IS PROBABLY the best musical comedy ever written has turned out to be the best musical show that the Civic Theater ever produced. It’s “Of Thee I Sing,” and it opened the Civic's 26th sea« son last night for a run scheduled through Wednesday, but which otight to go longer. To everyone concerned in tHe production, on stage and off, goes a lump sum of praise for a sprightly entertainment that has pace and color, a real savor of the zestful humor in score and book, and a smooth operation that isn’t too far below professional stand-
short, it’s an eccasion for hat waving. To ask for anything bete ter, you'd have to have Victor Moore and William Gaxton back

Just to keep the record straight Dorothy Lamour wears nary a sarong
in “Moon Over Burma.” - Her costumes do include: “(a) a
split-skirted night club outtit; (a) a
not too extensive white sharkskin play suit; (¢) a diaphanous nightgown; (d) several assorted frocks and gowns, all on the scanty side; and (e) a
sheet. | She also has lost those eriveloping long black tresses. It’s an old story in a tropical setting. A girl neatly upsets the life-long partnership of two young men (one is too amorous, the other too misogynistic). Of course she falls for the womanhater while tne other takes to his cups over her.
Preston Foster (the guy who snarls at the women his buddy, Robert Preston, chases), operates a teak lumber camp in the Burma forests for a blind owner. To get his logs down the river in time Mr. Foster borrows money from a competing owner who has all the proclivi-
ties of a rattle snake, except that he
doesn’t warn before striking. In Rangoon Mr. Preston has fallen for the stranded show girl from the States—that’s our Dotty—and takes, her to the camp. _ At this point the film starts using the “Western” technique of the
- chase. The two partners (and Dotty)
race against the connivings of their competitor who uses some old Burmanese customs to prevent them from getting their logs on the way to market. His men start a forest fire, create a log jam and try to scare the natives from their work with “ghost tigers.” These incidents also delay Dotty from getting her man. There are two exceedingly dramatic scenes, both focused about the splendid acting of Albert Basserman as the blind owner. In one he and Miss Lamour are alone when a cobra slithers into the room unknown to her but sensed by him. He warns her not to move and himself sits rigid as the cobra lifts its hooded head by his feet. If either of them move the cobra will strike. His cigaret is burning his fingers. To drop it means it will fall on the cobra. In the other powerful sequence, with a. bullwhip he fights an armed agent of his competitor. He locates
- his opponent by sound.
Miss Lamour sings ‘Moon Over Burma” and “Mexican Magic” in her deep, throaty tones. The associate feature, “I Want a Divorce,” stars Joan Blondell as the wife of a budding lawyer (our own Dick Powell), who thinks it terrible when he begins handling divorce cases. It's from an Adela Rogers St. John story and also has in the cast Frank’ Fay, Gloria Dickson), Harry Davenport and Conrad Nagel.—D. M.
Loew's
Myrna Loy’s versatility, I suspect, has not yet been fully exploited. She began her film career, you will recall, as a slinky, slant-eyed siren. Then she became, with no apparent effort, the charming, tolerant, intelligent companion and model wife. Now she blossoms out as something else again. For, in “Third Finger, Left Hand,” she reveals a command of rich and fluent Brooklynese. During one sequence in the picture there issues forth from her mouth a stream of patois such as
_ one usually hears only on Ladies’
Day at Ebbets Field, directed toward some obtuse umpire or baseball players who have the temerity to engage the Dodgers in the national pastime. Aside from this brief excursion into the vernacular of western Long Island, there is little to set “Third Finger, Left Hand” apart from a great many other comedies which have dealt with the subject of business marriages. In this case a young lady named Margot “invents” a husband in order to hold her job asa magazine editor. © (The publisher, it seems, has an inordinate interest in his feminine employees, and the pub-

lisher’s wife gets her revenge by having them fired.) In due time there comes upon the scene an attractive young man from Wapakoneta, O., who learns of her deception. Since he and Margot have loved and quarreled, he gets his revenge by palming himself off as the missing husband. In order to obtain a divorce the pair, now thoroughly and mutually angry, must get married. : See if.you can guess the rest. This. is not one of the more sparkling and inventive variations on a familiar theme. There is the usual ado about the alleged husband and wife being shooed into the same bedroom. Also another one about the alleged husband and the other man who get together to thrash things out and wind up in drunken. cameraderie. Melvyn Douglas is a competent foil for Miss Loy in all the goings on. Other principals in the cast are Raymond Walburn, Lee Bowman, Bonita Granville and Donald Meek. The audience at yesterday's opening show seemed to have a lot of fun. “Glamour for Sale” is the name of Loew’s other picture. In it the usually demure Miss Anita Louise forsakes meekness, which is a drug on the market, for glamour, a definitely saleable commodity.—J. T.
® Lyric If future Major Bowes talent revues are more ‘entertaining than his current show, the novices soon will lose their amateur standing. At least one act—the Rigoletto Trio—is of professional caliber and another (Dickie Ludwig, a tenderfoot Edgar Bergen) misses the bigtime by the merest lack of stage composure.
Only professional in the group is Cyril Smith, English alumnus of the Rudy Vallee crew, who is the wry mentor of the youngsters. In the lineup is a vocal trio of local girls: Sally, Sue and Sylvia, winners of the Indiana Fur Co.'s amateur broadcast over WFBM last Sunday. Even a severe case of mike fright didn’t detract from them at yesterday's first show. They are blond and lithe and sing a pair of modern arrangements with sincerity. Young Mr. Ludwig is a curlyhaired lad with a tart dummy, not unlike Charlie McCarthy. They carry on some 10 minutes of. banter which is topped by Mr. Ludwig's recitation of “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers” through motionless lips. Try that on your larynx. ~The audience was crying “more” before the Rigoletto Trio had even finished its “break-it-up, hot from Harlem” diagnosis of the famous quartet from Verdi's “Rigoletto.” The boys then did a rousing, shouting, revival-meeting spiritual. Only a curtain speech pacified the customers. The Four Harmonica Esquires presented a breath-taking interpretation of Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse.” One of the lads certainly got a lot of mileage out of a threefoot harmonica. + Besides his duties as master of ceremonies, Mr. Smith does his “Sow Song” which sold some umpteen thousand recordings four or five years ago. . This week’s screen offering is about a parsimonious old codger whose family, like the worm, finally turns. In the cast are Grant
Litel.—(D.M.).

AFTER A FINAL dress rehearsal last night, the Ritz opened today following a two-month period of darkness.
Robert Hesseldenz, who built such a splendid reputation for making the Uptown a rendezvous for children, is at the managerial helm. For nearly 10 years he was manager and owner of the Uptown and there played to 1,200,000 children.
Yesterday, letters, telegrams and phone calls just about swamped the theater’s office welcoming him back to a neighborhood house he once previously managed. Most of thre congratulations came from North Side mothers and women’s organizations applauding Louis Markun’s choice of Mr. Hesseldenz. Last night the theater had a test show, checking the sound and projection, particularly in the two rooms where both men and women may smoke and watch the pictures through glass walls. Beginning today for five days the bill is “The Return of Frank James” and “Golden Gloves.” After this opening the theater. will change pictures on Sundays and Thursdays. Daily openings will be at 6:45 p. m. with Saturday and Sunday starting times at 1:45 p. m. . ” 2, 8 THE. STRAND will have the first city showing Monday through Wednesday at 6 p. m. of “The Green Hornet Strikes Again,” sequel to the serial “The Green Hornet.” Manager Claude Allison has found that by -showing the serial first on those nights the youngsters can get permission to go to the movies during the week. Even with a double feature thrown in they still can be abed early.

The family of Don Wright (he’s manager of the Rivoli), was visited this week by a stork with highly coincidental tendencies. : Thursday at 8:30 a. m. Mr. Stork left a 6 pound 5 ounce boy at St. Vincent's Hospital for Mrs. Wright. An hour and a half earlier Mr. Stork had brought a 5 pound 4 ounce boy to the same hospital for Mrs. John Clemo liver. Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Wright shared the samz room since the latter is Mr. Oliver's sister. Both

country’s best organists. The 27-year-old head of the Peabody Conservatory’s organ department gave a program on the excellent new organ of the Zion Evangelical Church yesterday afternoon, and repeated the performance in the evening. Both recitals were well attended, and the program's printed request that the audience refrain from applause was a considerable strain upon many of his hearers. For Mr. Fox’s playing is of the sort to arouse genuine enthusiasm. Technically, his playing is impeccable. He employs a tasteful registration which -bespeaks both good taste and a thorough knowledge of the organ. And in addition there is a rhythmic lift to his performance which makes of the organ an instrument alive and intimately compelling, as well as grandly sonorous. . Bach, the fountain head of modern organ composition, was represented on the program by the chorale, “Come Sweet Death,” the Fugue alla Gigue and the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. In addition there were compositions by Campra, Vierne, Schubert, KargElert, Guilmant, Middelschulte, Edmundson, Debussy and Mulet which served as a canvas upon which Mr. Fox spread his most glowing colors and deployed his technical resources to the nth degree. The performances were under the auspices of the Zion Senior Choir.
Melton Gives Recital
James Melton, of radio and—more recently—opera fame, made his Indianapolis recital debut at Ayres’ auditorium yesterday under the aegis of the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale, which began its 64th season with this occasion. Mr. Melton’s voice has become, through the years, so much a part of the average American home’s life
length upon it here. Personally, Mr. Melton is of engaging manner and cherubic countenance. He beamed upon his audience between each song of the first group, while the usual bustle of late-comers’ activity at the auditorium door went on. During one of these pauses, he assisted his accompanist, Philip Evans, in moving the piano up stage. At this point one of his listeners behind me remarked, “I hope he sings something funny. He's: so cute!” : : Well, Mr. Melton did include some Sfunny” songs ior encores to a program in itself was of a light nature. ‘His listed songs began witis Handel’s “Ombra mai fu” and continued with Schubert’s “Der 'Neugierige,* “Hark, Hark the, Lark” and “Im-

sung in German, the last (“Ungeduld”), in English. Perhaps Mr. Melton was avoiding international complications through a bilingual neutrality, since both songs are from the same cycle, “Die Schone Muellerin.” The program included two arias, “Le Reve” from “Manon” and “E lucevan le stelle” from Puccini's “Tosca,” as well'as songs by Chaminade, Massenet, Leoncavallo, Oscar Fox, Loehr, Sowerby and Carnevali.
