'Cairo' at Loew's

FOR SOME REASON, M. G. M. has chosen the land of Egypt as the backdrop for the singing of Jeanette MacDonald and Ethel Waters in “Cairo.” Robert Young and a spy plot tag along. Miss MacDonald sings high C which operates the mechanism opening the pyramid of Cheops to reveal the Secret Six (honest), a Nazi spy ring, in the act of guiding a radio-controlled plane to blow

up an American troop transport. The ship is gliding through the Mediterranean with all the boys singing patriotic songs. Naturally, the spy ring is tickled when Mr. Young leaps aboard the plane. They know he can’t get off before it plunges into the troop ship and blows up « « o that is, without using the parachute which Director W. S, Van Dyke secreted aboard so he could use Mr, Young in his next picture. Can’t blow up actors these days. ss 8 8 LOEW'S SECOND feature, “silver Queen,” stars George Brent, male gambler, and Priscilla Lane, female gambler, playing poker in 1870 San Francisco gambling halls.

Keith's Revue THE A. B. MARCUS .show

came to Keith's yesterday, bringing a company of 50 including 30 gorgeous girls 30 and 15 dazzling scenes 15 as well as A, B. himself, one of the grand old veterans of show business. A. B. confessed he wasn’t too satisfied with his show. Tco long, he said. But most of the customers seemed to like it, Even if he couldn't fit the African girl in. A. B.'s big problem for the past couple of years is holding his cast together, If the members aren't being lured away by rivals, or going into the service, theyre going back to various parts of the world, including Africa and Australia, where A. B. picked them up on his travels, In addition to the lady from Africa, they left out Churchill. He was supposed to be in the scene along with F.D.R., Chiang

Jal-shek and Stalin who appear

on the stage to symbolize united nations unity in the grand finale. Only Churchill's mask wasn’t ready for the first show. The show boils over with color. It's most extravagant revue to hit

Keith's yet. Looking about the .well-populated stage, you find scantily clad lovelies everywhere, including one hanging onto a silver backdrop 12 ‘feet above the stage. Variety acts, most of which are first rate, include Reid and Dean, singing-dancing team; the Jigsaws, three sailor knockabouts; Leon Miller, whose dance imitations are worth watching; Latasha and Lawtence, Australian adagio stars; the Libonati trio on two xylophones, and Bob White, formerly of Indianapolis, who is m, e.

AUDIENCE. DUCKS AS. BATON SLIPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (U, P.). —Both orchestra and audience will be on their toes the next time Dr. Hans Kindler conducts a symphony by the Russian composer Shostakovich. A year ago Kindler was leading the national symphony orchestra through Shostakovich’s Fifth when, during a particularly flery passage, the baton slipped from his hand and hit a second violinist on the head. Wednesday night,’ Kindler was conducting Shostakovich’s Seventh. Again there came a climactic passage. Again the baton slipped, this time reversing direction and flying off over toward the pit. The audience dodged successfully.

WEAR BRIGHT COLORS TO BOLSTER MORALE

CHICAGO, (U. P.).—Women in wartime should go back to the Indians for their fashion tip, Adrian, Hollywood designer, declared today. The Indians, he said, had the right idea—they counteracted the monotonous colors of their desert surroundings with bright clothes. “In times like these American women should follow suit,” he said. “There is nothing to be gained by wearing colors that are depressing

and drab.”

ilm of Cline

Director = Would Furnish

Words and Action.

By FREDERICK OC. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 18.—We have decided to make a fortune by making a movie of Eddie Cline making a movie. All we'll do is grind the camera. Director Cline will furnish the words and the action in the regular process of earning his living—and well have a four-star laugh hit. First time we met Edward Francis Cline was five years ago when he was directing an epic featuring Bobby Breen in Hawaii. Attached to the brim of his hat with a safety pin was his wrist watch so that it dangled directly in front of his eyes. He had to squint to see around it. “Yeah,” he said. “It’s on account of the producer, always yelling for me to quit wasting time, This is for his benefit, to prove that I don’t even stop to lift my arm to see what time it is.” Next time we saw Mr. Cline he was demonstrating to W. C. Fields the proper method of walking like W. C. Fields. Cline directs more movies than most of his competitors and we always try to be on hand for as much of the proceedings as possible. For instance:

Works in Defense Suit

We walked into stage seven at Universal studios recently to find Cline clad in his civilian defense suit, on his knees beside the camera in an attitude of prayer, while the Misses Joan Davis and Irene Hervey emoted in a movie titled ‘“He’s My Guy.” Miss Davis had inserted a line of dialog which went: “If this happened in a picture, they wouldn't believe it.” “I'll be right back,” sald Miss Hervey, who then demanded of Cline: “Is. that the next line?” “It always has been,” he retorted. The portly Cline pulled himself to his feet to show Miss Davis how to do her act, and there he was taking the parts of both girls at once and losing his hat in the process. He turned to the ladies and said: “Try it easy now, and stop where you should and the cameraman will be very happy.”

Results Not Happy

“Now,” he continued, “just forget everything I told you and play it.” They did and the results were not too happy. “I think I'm wrong,” said Cline, “but I don’t know how I could be.” He moved in again to take Miss Hervey’s part and barked her lines: “Lay out my earrings and my nylon hose.” “Your girdle, too?” ‘asked Miss Davis. “Yep,” said Cline. Blushingly he turned to the carpenters, electricians and clerks and said: “I think we got it all mixed up, let’s sit down for five minutes.” When the five minutes were up, Mort Singer, the assistant director, cried out: “Quiet boys, this is the picture.” “What kind of picture?” asked Director Cline. “I don’t guarantee anything,” his assistant replied.

The actor had been scheduled to be inducted Dec. "30 but his induction was moved up at his request when he said he was anxious to get back into uniform as soon as possible. The actor, former husband of screen star Alice Faye, was dismissed from the navy as “unfit for duty,” although the navy stressed that his was not a dishonorable discharge. Martin was involved in the courtmartial of Lieut. Commander Maurice Aroff, who accepted an automobile from the actor to facilitate his enlistment in the navy as a specialist, Aroff was dismissed from the service several months after the court-martial,
