fpnm 1 Vatinn. A Art 1, w.m II PI I eneV 5 or took the edge off their piquancy. I understand perfectly now the opinion Robert Montgomery professes to have for his screen personality. It is told that he detests the roles he is given to play; and describes himself thus: "Enter me, Robert Montgomery, Stinking." He must have given out the statement during the filming of "Trouble For Two." A Graustarkian Romance NOT that "Trouble for Two" deserves any such epithet! Just Robert's Make-up. In a recent column I protested the cycle of Pretty Males in pictures; but that was before I saw "Trouble For Two," which Caps The Climax! I shall have nightmares about the Prince Florizel for some time to come.

Yes, believe it or not, his name is Prince Florizel. So never tell me that screen writers are without their little Jokes. Prince Florizel of Karavia and the Princess Brenda (Rosalind Russell) of Irania are officially betrothed by the statesmen of their two principalities, but quite without their consent. They have loathed each other from infancy. So before the nuptials the Prince is sent abroad to help him get used to the idea, or have a last fling, or what not; and the king his father (an awfully nice fellow, E.

E. Clive, one of our soundest older actors) entrusts his safe keeping to Frank Morgan, and they set out for London. (I should remind you that this is in a Costume Period, and the Prince can wear the most Graustarkian clothes.) When he arrives there he becomes adventure in the most preposterous adventure ever concocted by desperate screen writers. They took the story from (of all persons!) Robert Louis Stevenson; but what they did to it is simply unbelievable; at least I should like not to believe it, but there it is, with poor Robert Montgomery going through its tortuous plot manfully upholstered to the gills. Preposterous Plot I seems that a terrible villain, Dr.

Noel, an enemy of the Princes kingdom, has organized a band Of traitors, and Under rover or a supposed suicide Club inveigle the Prince to join their band. There he meets the Princess, also incognito. She appears as an adventuress steeped in blood, and attempts to put the Prince to death by opening a menagerie of lions on him, and then, just as they are about to spring upon him but really, my dear readers, I cannot go on. The more I think of the story of "Trouble For Two" the more I am sure I must just have dreamed it, and that NOBODY could have concocted such a plot. I have watched many stories unfold in my time, but never has a story assumed such extraordinary behavior as this one.

And by the faces of the principals engaged in its acting, I feel that they themselves were every bit as confused as I was over its curious developments. I really did pity that nice tall Robert Montgomery. He has had such a tough break lately anyway, sick, and cast in rather awful part and then for them to put thi AfitAt wig on him and ask htm to go through such ridiculous paces is enough to take the heart out of him. As for Rosalind Russell, I'm fraid the Hollywood Casting Directors put too much importance upon Class. She holds her head very high and affects an Air.

But she is no great shakes as an actress; and in "Trouble For Two" does little more than look haughty and very bored. sfc Hiss the Villain! FRANK MORGAN Is cast in another of his anxious roles, this time the unhappy shadow of the Prince. Reginald Owen dons a horrible bald wig and gets off one of the most repulsive charac- just about completes the directory Tin Pan Note: Bob Crosby fol Pan Alley The Irving Berlin Then the long-beaked bird ar (Casa Loma) Rauches, and the Benny Goodman takes over Rio prefers Mark Newman, her He must be quite a boy, this Resolutions to Be Topic Important resolutions adopted by the recent General Council of Congregational and Christian Churches will be discussed at 11 a. m. tomorrow by Dr.

That nice young fellow Louis Hayward is wasted on a puerile part. When I tell you that Guy Bates Post and Pedro de Cordoba play bits, you can see how anxious the producer, Louis D. Lighton, was to patch up the preposterous plot with sterling acting, which indeed he managed to do. Now my friends, far be it from me to scoff the picture off your list; for it is an amusing and even suspenseful comedy. But it always fills me with a deep sense of wonder when I see so much real excellence in acting, production and direction, wasted upon a story as wildly improbable and Graustarkian as "Trouble For Two." Robert Louis Stevenson never meant his "Suicide Club" series to meet with such a fate, I am sure! Fine Stage Show THE stage show this week at the Stanley bears the imprint of Paris, and is chic, colorful, amusing, pretentious.

A dozen or twenty mannequins in le dernier cri from the Paris courtiers, open the lavish review. Exquisite dancing, picjuant singing, even a can-can, some lovely ballets, living pictures, vary an unusual program of Parisienne novelty. It is definitely the main attraction at the Stanley this week; and provides in itself ample entertainment. What the feature picture lacks is more than supplied by this extravagantly lavish Folies Comiques. DR.

A A AT YOUR TtatkJt0tfZL Quake Days Of 'Frisco Recreated Gable, MacDonald, Tracy Excell in Barbary Coast Movie By KASPAR MONAHAN THE STORY of the innocent who meets the boss of the Barbary Coast is retold again in "San Francisco" at Loew's Penn but this time the formula comes to rugged, pul sating life under the knowing direction of W. S. Van Dyke, bolstered by sterling performances on down the line.

For principals you'll see Clark Gable in the sort of role he can sink his'teeth into, as Blackie Nor ton, the godless, hard-bitten ruler of the honky-tonks; Spencer Tracy as a Father Mullen, who can knock a husky silly with one punch or tenderly comfort a waif made home less by the quake; Jeannette Mac Donald, whose thrilling voice was never in better form, and Jack Holt as the quiet-spoken rival of the Barbary Coast bruiser. The period is that immediately prior to and during the great earth quake of 1906 when San Francisco a different 'Frisco from today was vulgar, raw and sinful, revelling in its distinction of being the "world's most wicked city." Gusty and Vigorous This pagan flavor, this brawling spirit, this gusty, reckless, chip-on-shoulder attitude of the twentieth century Gomorrah permeate the drama, and a drama it is of exceeding punch and vigor. And the screen has rarely throbbed with such thrills as "San 'Francisco" brews in its earthquake scenes. Buildings groan and topple and crash to pieces, streets crack wide open as screaming victims plunge into the crevices. Then comes the fire.

Flames sheethe the ruins. Dynamiting crews blow up structures still standing to check the fire, for the water system has been wrecked. Then great, milling throngs of refugees, dazed horror in their eyes, wandering aimlessly, crying the names of their dead. In the recreation of a catastrophe, still fresh in the memories of old and middle-aged, "San Francisco" is breath-taking. The "atmosphere" of the old 'Frisco and the masterful staging of the recurrent quakes, overshadow the story by far.

That, as I have indicated, while a good serviceable story is reminiscent of ante-cedent films. It's a long movie perhaps a bit too long. After the invigorating start and until the quake comes "San Francisco" tends to sag. Not too much of a sag, however, to destroy the interest. Story of Regeneration This is the story of the regeneration of an individual and a big city.

Blackie Norton lives his reckless life, scornful of the pleas of Father Mullen, his boyhood friend, and Jeannette MacDonald, the tender country girl he has employed as singer in his dive. She graduates in one sudden leap to operatic stardom through the intercession of a wealthy and powerful man whose intentions, as opposed to those of Gable, are entirely honorable. But Gable, as Father Mullen points oilt, "is not all bad." His money goes to the poor and needy and he seeks a political job in order that he may force legislation to destroy the fire-traps of the tenement section. In this enterprise he is opposed by Jeanette's rich suitor (Jack Holt), who holds that the Barbary Coast would lose its lure for tourists if its picturesque squalor was elim inated. The struggle between the two men continues with Gable on the losing end until the earthquake smashes the city and opens men's eyes to greater and more enduring things than mere material values.

Tracy Tops Cast Although Gable is right in his element as Blackie Norton, it is Spencer Tracy as the priest who takes the acting honors by his earnest conviction. Miss MacDonald triumphs by. her singing of a number of opera arias and the theme song of "San Francisco," which probably will be a favorite shortly on the radio. Ted Healy deserves a couple of paragraphs for his handling of a comedy role and the same goes for Jessie Ralph as the dowager leader of 'Frisco society, who makes no bones about her early beginnings as a washwoman in the pioneer village.
