Liberty Phone 6713 MICHIGAN DAILY ADVERTISEMENTS PAY His Girl ................. ..Mary Brian His Secretary ...........Ruth Donnelly Managing Editor ........ Walter Walker The Crooner ...............Dick Powell George Moxley .............Ned Sparks This movie has not a single dull moment in it, rom its racy beginning to its "blessed event" con- ,lusion. It is replete with lines bordering on the 'doubtful;" it has brash, glittefing action every- where; it is funny, hard, tough, snappy, 1932, and :verything else you may want for your entertain- ment. It concerns the adventures of Alvin Roberts, ormer ad man, who jumps into columning while ;he regular columnist is on his vacation. He lends news of "blessed events" (with and without aenefit of clergy) and peeks into windows, uses lictaphones, flouts gangsters, gives radio Ok Chi- :ago quarter hours; in short just what you expect a columnist of the Walter Winchell type to do. It is this that will delight you. It's what you fwant to see. Typicalspeech (or perhaps a little more than typical): Roberts is ;told "I suppose pretty soon you'll be telling all the details of the conception!" (This is after Roberts begins publishing the month and date of the blessed event). Another: Roberts to his secretary: "Then add this to the column. 'The baby will be a boy- they tell by the heart-beats, dopes!' There are superlatively done parts by others in the cast, notably Alvin's gangster foe. Ruth Don- nelly as Mis Sevens. the hard-boiled secretary, is also very good. The crooner and his Shapiro Shoe Hour will remind you only too well of what you hear over your own radio. If you are tired of the usual run of movie fare, and want to see the columnist thene done as no other producer has done it, "Blessed Event" is what you want. Admittedly it is not the first-pro- duced of its kind, but it is, just as certainly, the leader of its kind. Added attractions: Fatty Arbuckle steps to bat in a 6 nedy called "Hey, Pop," hits a couple of foul bal, and then strikes out ingloriously when he gets into women's clothes, falling down and picking himself up again; also a Hearst Metro- tone News. -G.

State Phone 23231 __.,_. - ~.- I Raymond Van Sickle's tragi-comedy, "Best Years," expertly played by a cast headed by Jessie Royce Landis and Lester Vail, is Robert Hender- son's third production at the Bonstelle Civic Theatre. It is an actor's play, and as such is distinguished by the variety of parts, deftly re- -reated by such character artists as Mr. Van pickle, who himself appears as Milt Stotter, and Jessie Busley as Aunt Em. No one but an actor could have evolved lines and situations which gave every opportunity for vivid characterization. And no one but Miss Bus- ley could have so skillfully turned every laugh to the greatest advantage. The scene in the sec- and act in which she considers the advantages and disadvantages of matrimony is one of the eason's best performances. To Mr. Van Sickle not only goes the credit of having written this scene, out of bringing a remarkable reality to the stodgy figure of her suitor, Milt Stotter. The flat, mo- notonous tones of the chronically deaf are per- fectly caught, and in a few lines and very little action he sketches the character accurately and well. The play treats of that sometimes distressing, ;ometimes amusing, institution known as the American Home. For two acts it is rather lively :omestic comedy. Then the thesis rears its ugly head. A neurotic, selfish mother demands the sacrifice of her daughter's happiness as the price of maintaining her home. The daughter is con- fronted with the dilemma of remaining to care for her mother or of marrying a bridge building lover whose business conveniently removes him from the scene. The drama thus engendered is rather moving, for Miss Landis brings to the part of Cora Davis a great deal of beauty and sincerity, while Helen Ray as the matriarch develops an insidiously saccharine quality that is most effective. Yet the thesis, however pertinent, somehow seems to be- long to the theater of another generation, to a decade when Pinero and Galsworthy, and more (ZiA URI- ---- T C I .. and H1 Orchestra Piano Soloist, in the Choral UTinon Series 11 0 I OSSIP GABRILOWITSCH 11 Wed., Nov. 30, at 8:15 p. m. in HILLAUDIORIU II I- 11 11 I 11
