Southpaw Leader Leans To Solo Work During Lyric Bill.
At the Lyric this week there are 13 swell reasons why Freckles and His Friends (see comic page) asked | Dick Jurgens’ band to play for] their charity dance. Freckles, his parents, and the sorority which is sponsoring the dance may be worried about] making something more than ex-| penses but as far as I'm concerned. | Mr. Lashley’s $1000 guarantee Is| safer than the Ft.

Comedy and Sentiment In Loew's Film
'Serenade’ Finds Dunne "and Grant In New Surroundings.
For a couple of people who turned out a comedy like “The Awful Truth,” Irene Dunne and Cary Grant find themselves in rather strange surroundings in “Penny
Serenade,” current movie fare at “| Loew's. This is a story of pure sentiment with the penthouse variety of sophistication mostly missing. It's a flashback account of how two married people are denied a child of their own and how it nearly wrecks their marriage. There could be a logical question posed as to whether “Penny Serenade” is overdrawn from the tearjerker standpoint. Much could be said, too, on both sides.
Familiar Music But if you've ever tried to fold a diaper into ‘the generally accepted triangle or spent a long night walking baby, then you'll understand
what's afoot: in “Penny Serenade.” Too, the musical background may strike a familiar note: “Missouri Waltz,” “Three O'Clock in the Morning,” ‘Japanese Sandman,’ | “That Old Gang of Mine,” and, ef

You shouldn't assume, however, that all this movie is of a serious vein. Edgar Buchanan as the everfaithful printer, Applejack, supplies some high comedy. When Miss Dunne finally decides she hasn't the heart to put her

THOUGH SCARLET O'HARA is now making her last gallant
stand at the boxoffice, Cindy Lou and “Kiss the Boys Goodbye” retain all the breezy zip and keen satire that Clare Boothe originally instilled in them. Cindy can still work herself into some terrific “snits.” And while a jibe at fascism may not have the same good humor it did two years ago, the idea is still principally the same. Thus it is that the Civic Theater is currently ending its 26th season via a fast-moving and purring vehicle.
A Fiery Cindy
THE PLAY is one which either falls or stands on the performance of the lead role, Cindy Lou. She as a fiery guitar-playing wench who must carry much of the comedy om her white little shoulders. Evelyn ' Steffan, 17-year -old Technical High School girl, makes Cindy just the shrewd lass she’s supposed to be. Evelyn’s Southern drawl is thick as cold molasses. Her capacity for exasperation is big. She butts the carping Madison (Broun) Breed, emphatically portrayed by Harold Arnholter, with a piledriving collision. At 17 Miss Steffan is precisely the age to play Cindy Lou and she can be sufficiently aristocratic in the bewildering Southern man-
o nights) so as to lose the expected audience response. And there were others when the cast fell behind the breakneck speed with which Miss Boothe throws out her satire. But it's not charity that prompts the remark that the Civic ends its season on a hig plane of laughter. The show runs nightly through next Wednesday and it's worth your time, if for nothing else than the RomeoJuliet scene done by Miss Steffan and Mr. Bridges with the aid of a cocktail bar.

But when she gets up a “snit,” as she calls it, she’s quite competent to hold her own with any devious designer.

Story Rides An Qutboard
Yes, Boats are Important on Circle Screen.
Johnson, Evinrude and the other companies ought to sit right down now and write a letter to Paramount, care Hollywood, and thank them for “Reaching for the Sun.”
For in this picture, decorating the Circle's screen now, outboard motors are made into objects of beauty and altogether something that every man should possess. And at night they should be brought into the house and put under the bed out of the weather.
When they sputter and cough on a cold day, they should be taken up in the arms and tenderly consoled. Contained in Comedy
These vital lessons in the care of man’s newest best friend are handed down in a mirthful comedy that stars Joel McCrea and Ellen Drew. Assistant professor in Outboards 101A is Eddie Bracken, a whimsical and really funny fellow. It’s like this: Mr, ‘McCrea is a northern Michigan clammer who is sorely in need of an outboard to better conduct his business. Whereupon, he goes to Detroit, gets a job in an auto factory (Packard—Adv.) and meantime meets Mr. Bracken and Miss Drew. Mr. Bracken is a fellow worker and Miss Drew a waitress in a joint outside the factory gates. It turns out that Miss Drew and Mr. McCrea are wed (surprise!) but what
|causes the trouble is that Mr. 4
Crea makes the outboard the No. 1 item in the affections of his heart.
Another Surprise
This leads to painful parting, reconcidation (surprise again!) and the show ends with wife, daddy and son putt-putting around in a
and he heads back for the soothing racket of the big city. Besides the scene in the hospital maternity class where Mr. McCrea takes a lesson in how te care for his expected baby, the fight in the factory may be the one thing you'll remember from this show. It’s done with powerful, big ma= chines. They slam into each other and throw metal every which way in a manner designed to break a poor production manager's heart. Mr. McCrea as a misplaced. rough woodsman is a fine performer and the same goes for Mr. Bracken, who seems to nurture a natural passion ‘for ‘comedy. Now then, off to the outboard store to get me a putt-putter.—F. P,
Olivia Swims in Strapless Suit
HOLLYWOOD, May 10 (U. P.).—~ Olivia de Havilland has been given a long stretch of beach for a private swim in a strapless bathing suit. J. K. Reid, director of recreation for Los Angeles County, ordered the beach front “out of bounds” for all out Miss de Havilland, Director Mitchell Leisen, Charles Boyer and a camera crew. If she has the fortitude to dive into the chilly Pacific at this time of year she is entitled to protection, Mr. Reid said.’
The swim is for a scene in Parae mount’s “Hold Back the Dawn.”

| northern Michigan lake. The immense silence of nature,
tone in “Time on My Hands”; “Dancing in the Dark” tiptoes over Lou Quadling’s keyboard. Lou, you ought to know, is the composer of “I Do, Do You?” “A Million Dreams Ago” and “Careless,” among other top-notch melo- | dies. The first two are sung by tall, tan and terrific Harry Cool. I'm warning Freckles and his chubby pal, Lard, now that when the Jurgens’ band reaches Shadyside the hearts of June, Sue and Selma will flutter faster because of Harry and Buddy Moreno, another vocalist. Guitarist Moreno sings about that wicked woman, “Jennie,” from | the current Broadway hit, “Lady in the Dark”; and twe Hawaiian numbers, including the famed War Chant. In this he’s introduced as Buddy (Beulah) Moreno from some | island, allegedly Hawaiian. Buddy fn a grass skirt is something no one should miss. He also turns out a neat treatment of “Goodbye Now.” Harry Cool's vocalizing of “My Sister and I” (which he introduced | some time ago), and “Are You Kiddin’ ® (he wrote it himself) are so good the audience wouldn't let him go so he came back for an encore medley of “Do I Worry” and the aforementioned “I Do, Do You?” Good ‘Supporting Acts’ What the trade calls “supporting acts” include a brother-sister dancing team, Rita and Ed Oehman, whose tapping is as sparkling as Rita is pretty; the Lane Brothers in some combination acrobatic and rope skipping tricks which are much, much harder than they look; and Bob Neller with his pert dummy, Reginald J. Trickpuss. Reggy is the most amazing wood-en-head I've ever seen and I'm including Charley McCarthy. Reggy sticks out his tongue, raises his eyebrows, rolls his eyes, waves his ears, makes his hair stand on end (he’s red-headed), and lights up his nose when Dick Jurgens pops him one. He deserved this because the brickbats he was possing at Mr. Jurgens were brutal. And you ought to hear Reggy and his boss both whistle at once. That's something.
“Rookies on Parade” is Bob Crosby’s first picture minus his band. It’s also the film debut of Shortridge’s 19-year-old Bill Shirley who has a seven-year contract with Republic studios. Bill studied under J. Russell Paxton here, had several leads in Civic plays, and his family still lives here. He sings one song in the film.—D. M.

OUR OWN ALMANAC OF FASCINATING FILM FACTS (Chap-
ter II):
Some 80,000,000 people go to movies each week in the United |well-k States paying an average admission price of 23 cents. . | each quarter paid at the box-office, about 17 cents remains in the |bango! community where the theater is located.
Sixty-five per cent of your ) amusement dollar stays in Indianapolis and is spent like this: Payroll, 25 cents; real estate, 15 cents; advertising, 8 cents; light and heat, 5 cents; taxes and insurance, 4 cents; miscellaneous, 8 cents. The 35 cents that goes for film rental (you can’t buy movies, you can only rent them) splits up this way—25 cents for production costs, 10 cents for distribution costs. Studies by the motion picture industry show that about 50 per cent of the people go to movies more or less regularly, that is, once a month, or once or twice a week. About 25 per cent of the popuinfants, aged, infirm or shut-ins, or are financially unable to go to the movies. . . . The remaining 25 per cent rarely attend. . Dr. Gallup estimates there are 32,000,000 persons who seldom see a movie, The average motion picture theater, which is open for business about 10 hours a day, takes in 60 to 85 per cent of its receipts in one hour—between 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. . .. Only centrally located theaters in the largest cities are able to spread their attendance evenly over the full time they're open. The attendance varies, tho, with the days of the week. . . . One quarter of the week's customers go on Sunday, 20 per cent on Saturday, 15 per cent on Friday, and 10 per cent each of the other days. In normal times (these certainly are not that) 35 to 40 per cent of the movies’ income is made abroad. Some 10000 U. S. theaters show double feature programs, about 7000 show single features. . . That means double bills are shown in nearly 59 per cent, of all theaters, 30 per cent every day, 29 per cent part of the time. It is estimated that the average production record in the larger Hollywood studios is three min-

IF YOU would see what Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” 100ks like, you are hereby recommended to John Ray Newcomb, a Civic veteran, who takes the Publisher B, J. Wickfield role. That similarity is. of course, beside the point, except I think Mr. Newcomb also | does a neat job of acting. And | his “bad case of laryngitis” will convince you there's really something wrong with the man’s | breather. Katharine Pantzer as Hostess Leslie Rand gives her work a pro- | fessional ring and, when Cindy isn't around, takes the acting | honors for Herself. Miss Pantzer creates a haughty, gallant air | that fits nicely. Not the least of the laurels go, too, to Winifred Skyrme, who makes of Myra Stanhope a hopeless, cast-about, scheming Brooklyn actress. Norman Green as the Producer Harner, the man she really wants to work her wiles on, is just about the picture we get out here of the Hollywood high-up. Mr, Green can sneer in a very nasty manner.
