The Shooting Starts Anew

AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS of musical comedy, baseball, Mickey

Rooney in England and Sonja Henie in Iceland, Hollywood is winning |

the war again this week on the downtown movie screens. For Holly-

‘wood, it’s easy.

Finally, they steal a plane and shoot him. Finis. H. G. Wells’ invisible man returns in the person of Jon Hall to foil the gestapo in “Invisible Agent,” at the Lyric. He raids Germany, just like Mr. Flynn and his pals over at the Indiana, only it’s easy for him. Nobody can see him but the audience. By some strang coincidence, Mr. ‘Hall’s studio arranges for him to escape from Naziland by stealing an enemy plane, too. He lands in England practically on the heels of Mr. Flynn and his gang. There he regains visibility. Finis.

Mrs. Hadley

AT LOEW'’S, Fay Bainter gives a splendid performance as the self-centered, hypochondriac, iso-lationist-minded socialite in “The War Against Mrs. Hadley.” Her

resentment teward the war takes

shape Dec. 7 when the maid breaks one of the family’s rare teacups upon learning of the Jap raid on Pearl Harbor. As drama based on a domestic issue, “The War Against Mrs. Hadley” is an unusual piece of work. Hollywood doesn’t often dramatize domestic issues until after they have been dead a few years. - Although the film personalizes the issue in the characterization of Mrs. Hadley, there is enough dialog to indicate that the character represents something more than a Washington aristocrat who viewed the nation’s war effort as an affront to her convenience. She becomes ag symbol of all those people in America who would not

accept war as a probability until

it became a reality.

Edward Arnold as a war department executive, old friend of the family, is the first to desert Mrs.. Hadley. Her son (Richard Ney), irresponsible, overindulged, finds himself as an individyal in the Her daughter (Jean Rogers) breaks away from the stuffy household to marry an army sergeant (Van Johnson). Her best friend, Spring Byington, drops away to join women’s war work.

She Reforms

PRESENTLY, we find Mrs. Hadley seated alone in her drawing room of period furniture, very much isolated. In good time, after son Ted becomes a hero and daughter Patricia sends word she is having a baby, Mrs. Hadley reforms. All is forgiven. In typing Mrs. Hadley, M. G. M. has thrown some punches, some of which are only glancing blows, others which land solid. It seemed to me by and large to be a pretty honest movie. It is the first pleture to present a home-front war issue that has come along since the shooting

are bopping | Nazis, blowing up Berlin arms factories and generally

started. The dramatic situations are contemporary and real. Miss Bainter, with poise and restraint, makes the most of them. Watch Van Johnson. He’s one of the newcomers who—is paying his way. A Rhode Island boy, he went on the stage in 1937 in “New Faces,” appeared in vaudeville, in “Too Many Girls” and made a hit in New York in “Pal Joey.” That's where Hollywood found him. This is his first big chance.

LIVES OFF FRIENDS, POLA NEGRI SAYS

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (U. P.)— Pola Negri, star of the silent films, is living on money borrowed from friends, she told lawyers for the Hotel Ambassador, according to an action filed by the hotel in supreme court yesterday.

The hotel sought to attach $2500 due Miss Negri from the American Weekly, Inc. for her memoirs. The amount would be applied to the balance due on a $5259 judgment obtained by the hotel in 1935 for money advanced between November, 1932, and August, 1934, in the payment. of beauty parlor charges, telephone bills, cables, telegrams, physicians’ fees, newspapers, cigarets, flowers and articles delivered C. O. D. to Miss Negri’s suite.

MAE WEST PAYS TAX BILL

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— Film Actress Mae West has satisfied a $4019 income tax judgment obtained by the state of New York

to 1933, the tax department dis-

closed yesterday in filing a supreme court return.

Re-Enroll Mature In Coast Guard

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— Film star Victor Mature was removed from the coast guard reserve list yesterday and re-enrolled in the standing coast guard service, settling his military status for the duration of the war.

Mature’s selective service board had ordered him to report, pointing out that as a member of the reserve the actor could have returned to

‘private life when he so desired.

A coast guard officer said his change in status -was no reflection on the aétor.

“Mature is a qualified man,” the officer said. “He knows ships and we're glad to have him.”
