Chateau

“A Connecticut Yankee,” one of the best picture of the late Will P.og ers. has been re-issued and will be shown on the screen of t‘ e Chateau theater for five days beginning Saturday midnight. Myrna Loy heads the supporting cast. Rogers is cast as a radio repairman who is called to fiv a set in a mysterious house. The owner claims that the instrument will bring back voices and sounds that have been floating in space for centuries. Through an accident Rog. rs is hit on the head and becomes unconscious. When he awakens he finds himself In England back in the time of King Arthur’s court. Retaining his modern dress and ideas he is an object of wonder and is in a tough spot because ot the jealously of Merlin, the king’s magician. How he modernizes the court, installs a factory for polishing armor, and equips the knights w’th automobiles instead of horses, causes an eclipse of the sun. rescues two young lovers from burning at the stake, and uncovers the identity of one of his own ancestors arc some of the hignhghts of the film.

Voiicastle Something entirely new in murders brings William Powell to the screen of the Voncastle theater Saturday midnight, Sunday and Monday, as an amateur crime-solver in his new starring picture, “The Ex-Mrs. Bradford,” in which Jean Arthur is costarred with Powell for the first time. The film draws romantic comedy and exciting physical action from

their pursuit of a killer whose weird method of slaying is hinted at only by a dab of gelatine on his victim’s bodies. The first time the murderer strikes, a jockey riding an “odds on” favorite falls dead during a race The second time he strikes he leaves evidence that makes Powell look so guilty that the star has to solve the mystery to prove his own innocence.

It was de Caleron who left behind the vague records of the great battle.

These will take place in October and it is the earnest hope of the Bulgarian monarch that the doors of Sofia's long silent parliament will be thrown open in November to liquidate the “iron hand” regime which came into force with the coup d’etat which took the capital by surprise one May morning twm years ago. King Boris has never relished the role of governing his people from be hind machine guns and cannon, and makes no secret of his dislike of being relegated to the role of a figurehead monarch, as seemed inevitable if the national socialist movement

A few weeks ago he revealed his democratic instincts when he peisonally intervened to settle a taxi-driv-ers’ strike which had lasted almost i month in Sofia.

The king’s reward was to see a long line of taxis perade before j royal palace bearing all manner of j friendly, homely greetings to the 1 monarch.

CHAPTER VIII A MASTER of pantomime, Fields doesn’t care much for dialogue In Ins pictures, yet. with the exception of the billiard and golf acts, ne Is best remembered for some of nls funny lines. In "Six of a Kind.” George Burns remarks to Fields that be seems to be talking loudly. "I nave to talk loud.” boomed Fields, "I'm the shei iff.” With Alison Skipworth In "If I Had a Million.” be started something of a national vogue by constantly referring to her as "My little chickadee," "My little penguin.” "My little glow worm.” or some other endearing phrase. In "You’re Telling Me,” Fields unknowingly escorts a real princess home to meet his wife, from whom he expects a severe tongue lashing. The wife recognizes the princess and faints, whereupon Fields hastily ducking for cover, cautions, "Look out, she may be stalling!" Most of his remarks—the above aud others such as "Mother of Pearl!" "Godfrey Daniel.” and "Drat!" are not particularly funny In cold print hut Fields’ peculiar style of delivery makes them amazingly humorous. He has a unique style of mouthing his phrases that listinguishes him from other comedians. In fact. Fields is the bane of the round men. They never know what to expect from him. Unless a line Is particularly important ne rarely sticks td, script. He will rehearse a scene three different ways and shoot It a new way. And always he Improves the scene. He can make something out of nothing. In ’It’s a Gift” he put a world of meaning into a phrase like: "Com lug! Coming!" He played a storekeeper, trying to placate two customers at once while nis mind was thousands of miles away—on an orange grove In California to be exact. One of the customers was Charles Seldom playing the blind man, Mr. Muckle. who made a wreck of the store. The other was Morgan Wallace, who was explosively demanding some cumquats. Fields was running back and forth from one to the other, answering demands with a plaintive "Coming! Coming!" In that phrase was wrapped untold tragedy the tragedy of a hapless man trying to do two things at once and accomplishing nothing. He was always “Comtug!” nut, like all of us, he never quite got there. Fields has explained his comedy fn a short phrase He Is "the man that everything happens to.” For Instance, if you go to a store, buy a quantity of groceries and on the way out, drop oue, spilling Its con tents on the ground, It isn't funny.

You look ridiculous, you're embarrassed and you're angry. But if It happens to someone else it Is funny. Fields Is the someone else. Everything happens to him, to frustrate and annoy him. lie assumes a pompous air that makes the minor irritations all the more amusing. He Is a blusterer and a braggart and the balloon of his own self-importance Is pricked by trifling odds and ends. That, he says, is humor. Also. Fields’ comedy is nil down-to-earth. Things that happen to him, things that be does are in the ken of everyone. All of us have seen It in our everyday experience. It Is merely an exaggeration and a piling up of things that have happened to us T"' or to our friends hundreds of times. “I build my rou

"A comedian,” says Fields, "cannot afford to he wealthy. Immediately people get an idea a comedian has a lot of money, he Is through A man with a million dollars doing the antics that comedians go through Isn't funny. He's ridiculous. I don t mind saying I'm comfortably off. if 1 wasn't able to work tomorrow, 1 don’t think I'd starve. And no one In my audiences begrudges me that. But If they thought I had a lot of money—which, praise the Lord 1 haven't—I’d he through.” Fields won't talk about charities because he likes to be thought of as hard boiled. But his friends know that he is surreptitiously supporting at least a half dozen families and aiding old friends who are

tines on human nature," Fields has explained. "For inatance. my golf act. I've played a lot of golt in a lot ot countries. And I've seen a lot ot golfers. There isn't one single lota of my golf act that I haven't seen actually happen on a golf course somewhere. Ob. of course, 1 exaggerate motions and gestures. 1 make myself a pompous sort of showoff so that the com edy is even funnier but it Is all the real thing. I picked up my billiard act In the same way—just by watching the sharks' In sman towns show off for somebody I put a lot of ' em together and I've got ac act. “I like to watch people. I can sit In my dressing room and through the door watch people stop, greet one another aud talk. In an hour I can have enough material for a halfdozen routines. They all wouldn’t be screamingly funny, ol course, hut I'd have some Ideas, anyway." Two things Fields will not discuss are his money and his charities. No one knows how much be lost in the stock market because no one knows how much money he had. Equally, no one knows how much he has today, although he Is a free spender.

But Bill won't discuss 1L Mis host friends In Hollywood Included Will Rogers, Sam Hardy and Tammany Young, al’ of w hom have died within the last couple of years, and William Le Baron, head of Paramount studio production: Gregory La Cava, the director, and one or two others. Every worker at the studio Nghts to be assigned to Fields pictures. They enjoy working with "the old master" because they like him. Fields has a raft of friends among the ordinary workmen on the lot and the carpenters, prop boys, wardrobe workers, assistant cameramen and others whom he likes are every bit as welcome at his home as are the stars, directors and executives who enjoy his friendship. Fields Is a lavish host. When In health he plays golt and knows most of the professionals. One winter during tournament time. Fields went out to dinner one night after giving the servants the night off. He returned home about nine o'clock to lind the bouse ablaze with light and sounds of revelry. He charged Inside to discover about 20 golf professionals making merry. He suddenly remembered that he had Invited them all over for dinner. In the press of writing a story It had slipped his mind and Rod had forgotten about It. Nothing daunted. Fields called up Hollywood's most expensive caterers and had them rush a complete dinner In relays of trucks. ^ fTo be contluuedj
