Band Tops

_ Stage Show!

Dunham's Music Features Bill at Circle.

For 20 years the stage band has been the nucleus of the best stage variety shows, That's why, every time you see and heaf a band like Sonny Dunham'’s, which opened yesterday at the Circle, you realize how much vocalists and hoofers depend on the right kind of accompaniment, The band; too, has to have soloists, People will listen to such fine arrangements. as the Dunham “Stardust” or, of all things, “Annie Laurie,” but they've got to have some singipg and some hoofing for a change. Louise Douglas sang a good warm version of “Embraceable You” and Frank Tucker and Norma Tremaine together did a remarkably funny burlesque of ballet—dll to the expertly managed background of saxes, rhythm. .

Dialog Is Good

The idea is good, and so Is the ‘dialog. If, by American standards, |the film lags at times, that's because it starts out with a lot of film tricks, such as speeding night{trains in the blackout, air-raid| | scenes, sea battles, and so on. « All ithe movie devices are dropped, however, in about ‘the last half] {hour of the picture, so that acting and dialog have to carry the story to the end.
