The Court THEATRE Bachelor Born, by lan Hay. This comedy about an English boys’ school and the girls who arrive there went over big in London and seems to hang on quite tenaciously here. No one knows why. 1 Married an Angel, by Rodgers and Hart. Good, tuneful, musical comedy with Dennis King, Vera Zorina, Vivienne Segai and Walter Slezak, plus (according to the ads) “$0 Lovely dancing angels, Air-conditioned.” What more do you want? On Borrowed Time, by Paul Osborn. An amusing and well-played fantasy in which Death is chased up a tree by Pud and Gramps. Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. This year’s Pulitzer Prize Play, concerning life and death in a New Hampshire town. Without scenery but with Frank Craven. Pins and Needles, by Harold Rome. The In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Workers revue, which is neither a style show nor a picket line, but a comedy hit with memorable songs and very funny lines. Tobacco Road. This spittin’, sinnin’, cussin’, Southern saga hangs on through its fifth year, waiting for the World’s Fair to bring fresh audiences. Calendar What a Life, by Clifford Goldsmith. A George Abbott-produced comedy of a seeth- ing high school where anything can happen, and does, Ezra Stone being very good as Henry Aldrich. Shadow and Substance, by Paul Vincent Car- roll. Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Sara Allgood and Julie Haydon reopen this distinguished and excellent poetic drama, wherein a cynical Irish canon stands revealed by a simple servant girl. You Can't Take It With You, by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. No, you can't take this excellent yet screwloose household with you, but you'd like to, It has last year's Pulitzer Prize, which ought to keep it on B'way another ten years, after which the script should be placed in the cornerstone of some new lunatic asylum. MOVIES Alexander's Ragtime Band. A far from au- thentic story of the rise of jazz music, which would have been 1000% better if it had used the life of Irving Berlin instead of just his music. With Tyrone Power, Don Ameche— not so peachy sans moustache—and Alice Faye wearing 1938 clothes as fashion marks time through the years. Algiers. The Algerian G-Men want Charles Tf you enjoy ceosswoed puzzles.— HERE’S TANTALIZING FUN FOR YOU! Do you know what fellows are great mixers and always keep you in good s pet horse? Places more of her? Chicago packers? colle pirits? The poor cousin of Mrs. Astor's to take your girl if you want to see The only part of the pig not used by the There're plenty of chuckles for you in Ted Shane's newest in of fifty Cockeyed Crosswords. A dictionary, a the- saurus, or even a mail order catalog are not needed. The open sesame to their solution is a knowledge of what their author calls Folklo: ria Americana. If you have eaten hot Boyer and he wants Hedy LaMarr, who makes her American pruhmeer in this pic. ture. We want her too. The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse. The amazing Edward G. Robinson in a good new crime movie, wherein his conversational m.p.b. is reduced, Cowboy from Brooklyn. Not bulls and bum steers in the beautiful borough, but Dick “We're in the Army (Navy), (Coast Guard), (Marines), (Geododic Survey) Now” Powell. O.K. Drums. Bagpipes skirl and Scottish high. landers march to drive out the anti-British usurpers in the Indian Hill Country. Excel- lent Alexander Korda color-melodrama, with Sabu and every kind of drums except the doldrums. Having Wonderful Time. The B'way comedy of Bronx Hill-Billies at Camp Killkare was delightful, and the costly services of Ginger Rogers make you wish you were here like- wise, Lotter Of Introduction. A so-so variety show with Andrea Leeds doing a half-Janet Gay. nor and Adolphe Meniou playing her paw. Good because it has lots of Charlie McCarthy and Bergen’s new character, “Mortimore.” Little Miss Broadway. So is Shilly Tample again, da leedle ferry of Movielend, sing. ging and dancing gand bring-ging pipples together. Such Sveetness! Marie Antoinette. Big, expensive, interest. ing Goldwynized history, with Norma Shearer losing her head in the French Revo- lution. Mother Carey's Chickens. Not a screw loose in all ten reels. Professor Beware. Harold Lloyd is funny and he has the second biggest shack in Cal- ifornia, but he still has the most ancient comedy formula. Somebody must like it. Rage of Paris. This excellent method of in- troducing pert Danielle Darrieux to Amer- ica should win universal applause for Uni- versal Pictures. South Riding. A good, quiet English movie about some Yorkshiremen. They Were Five. dogs, heard George Gershwin’s music, and ridden a Model- T Ford, they will give you lots of fun. Clear and conventional in construction, entendre and humor of the definition that wallop.

Noth- kick as they M Attendez, citoyens—voici une comédie frangaise, bien construite, bien it is the double “|| jouge or how you say it in English—"good.” gives them their BOOKS Monday Night, by Kay Boyle. Kay can write with great force and emotion but two men, futility and Dostoevski do not bring out the best in her. News of England,4y Beverley Nichols. When Hitler was a paperhanger and a joke, Beverley was a wit. Now when he dis- covers that England needs a Hitler, not even the prisoners in the German concentration camps would think it funny. The Age of Consent, by Norman Lindsay. A risque story about an artist in an Australian hideout and a village gitl who finally con- sents. Suit yourself. The Ant's Nest, by Muriel Daly. A novel about guests on the Italian Riviera. Neither too ironic to bite nor too dull to endure.
