SECTION 2 THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1941. Court Orders Return to Owner Of Hollow Tabic Leg Hoard Submerges Glamor for Realism Dramatic Honors In 'The Great Lie Bette Davis To Win Neiv a discharged union organizer who 'Penny Serenade' buried $60,000 under the back steps of a vacant cottage, whenca disappeared. Three neighbors have been indicted on larceny charges. And Skyrm must answer questions about the hollow leg hoard before income tax officials next week. 1 AT'- i ft; Ss.

WWSt RUTH CHATTERTON, at one time the first lady of the cinema, is to appear at Memorial Auditorium for two performances Saturday in a new comedy entitled "Treat Her Gently." This is Miss Chatterton's first visit to Louisville since she appeared here in "Come Out of the Kitchen." Deaths and Funerals Creek and Bardstown Road, a painter. is the fiance of the younger clerk. Eventually he discovers what is wrong with the store management and marries the elder saleswoman. Jean Arthur Stars. Jean Arthur, playing the sort of character that has earned her popularity, is always the champion of the store owner whose identity she does not know, of course, and she also tries to stiffen the morale of her sweetheart.

She is very active and vital and consequently the motivating force of the comedy. Miss Arthur is a shrewd come dienne and she is never better than when displaying an indig nation aroused by observing cowardice in one in whom she believes or discovering that in justice seems to be dogging her footsteps. She has opportunity to display such indignation in "The Devil and Miss Jones" and from this anger develops many amusing situations which arise honestly from the plot. "Repent At Leisure," the sec ond feature of the program, is a mild little comedy about a girl who does just this, but discovers her mistake in time. Wendy Barrie plays this girl.

New "Sin Hopkins' Proves Amusing Not the "Sis Hopkins" of Rose Melville or even the "Sis Hop kins" of Mable Normand but a 'Sis Hopkins" that has been streamlined to suit the peculiar talents of Judy Canova is the JUDY CANOVA AS "SIS" picture of that title at The Strand this week. Still one can no more believe this "Sis Hopkins" than he could the caricature which Miss Melville presented so many years ago but he is convinced that it is vastly more amusing in a musical comedy sort of way. Certainly the new version of this famous old yarn is an ideal vehicle for Miss Canova who is just as irresistible in this film a3 she was in "Scatterbrains," of recent date. Butterworth Returns. Much ingenuity has been employed in rewriting the tale for present day audiences and one of the happiest inventions is the presentation of Charles Butter-worth, as master plumber-uncle who married the socially ambitious daughter of a 15-cent barber.

Then there is Jerry Co-lonna as a college dramatic coach who had a mustache at infancy because he hadn't learned to shave. Hob Crosby, giving a pretty good imitation of his more famous brother, Is also in the film surrounded by his orchestra that provides the musical background. Miss Canova has several new 50c Dinner i Gmau Aia coNomamto FOURTH ST. PimflBJKMKWV. I if Brings Laughs songs and tnose old favorites, "Wait for the Wagon," "Some of These Days" and "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton." These she sings in that now familiar twang which somehow or other has a sweetness all her own.

Burlesque Stimulates. Quite the funniest entertainment of the week "Sis Hopkins" is frankly out and out burlesque but something to stimulate the risibles. The Cisco Kid Is up to his old familiar tricks in "Romance of the Rio Grande," which is The Strand's other feature, and Cesar Romero is playing a dual role in the film a very good young man and a very naughty kid. His usual suave exterior again hides a heart of gold as his conscience persuades him to resist the temptation of robbing a benefactor who is about to be fleeced by his kin. Haw the kid puts the heir to a fortune in his rightful place provides excuse for the many adventures of this Mexican Robin Hood.

Georce Stevens tells this Story with alternating scenes of drama and comedy and with not too heavy sentiment. Laughs are simply but effectively created by such a domestic scene as the washing of a baby, a process which seems to baffle the young husband and wife who have adopted the child. Buchanan Appears Natural. Miss Dunne and Mr. Grant practically carry the whole story nnon their exnert shoulders but Edgar Buchanan, as a handy friend at all times, makes a very favorable impression by his na-uralistic acting which does not seem to be acting at all.

"The Lone wolf Takes a Chance" which is the accom panying attraction on Loew's screen, a train nresents Warren William as the lone operator who now is embroiled in several messes which, after many adven tures, he gets out of. The chief incident is concerned with Lan vard's pxnloits with a newlv in vented burglarproof railroad car from which a criminal gang tries to steal currency engraving plates. Rialto Film Presents Light Entertainment A pleasant bit of spoofing, be cause of the seemingly carefree and spontaneous manner in which it is produced, is "The Devil and Miss Jones," which is The Rialto's chief offering on the new bill which opened Friday. This picture play, done in the lightest comedy form, concerns capital and labor as observed through eyes focused upon getting fun out of agitation. Conse quently there is nothing contro versial in the picture but a gay presentation of an amusing idea i f.

New 6Sis Hopkins' More Amusing By BOYD MARTIN.

It has been no more obvious than in "The Great Lie," which opened at The Mary Anderson Friday, that Bette Davis is one cinema actress who does not care for appearances. She seems always to be willing to submerge glamor for realism and in this picture she plays her opening scene with a cold in her head and plays it realistically, too. This certainly is not a scene which would draw even a man desperately in love with her any closer, but it does make her all the more pathetic when it is discovered that this man has practically jilted her by marrying a concert pianist when both were celebrating this rather famous woman's divorce. Only the temperamental artist got mixed in her dates and the wedding is premature. Husband Is Deceived.

However the damage is done and this prima donna eventually becomes the mother of the child she wants to remain a secret from her public. When the father, who has between times married the character played by Miss Davis, is supposed to be lost in the Brazilian jungle the wife makes a bargain with the pianist to exchange security for the child. Upon the husband's return he 1 MISS DAVIS AND BRENT is led to believe that his wife is the mother and he is quite happy in this belief until the pianist forces the wife to admit "the ereat lie." Under Edmund Goulding's direction "The Great Lie" becomes cmite a nroblem drama advancing cautiously and dramatically to the expose when, by sensible means, not always encompassed by me the wife confesses to the suhterfuce and finds that her hus band has really taken her "for hetter or for worse. The highlight of the picture is that interlude during wllich the pianist is awaiting the baby in a lonely Western ranch with the wife as her only companion. There is strone drama here leavened by many moments of the highest comedy derived from the ratner unusual circumstances.

High Standard Maintained. With Mary Astor as the pianist and George Brent as the husband, Miss Davis has companionable sunnoi but makes no bia ior the picturesque as she plays with consistent Ktraicntlorwara ntss whirh cives integrity to the characterization. There is some thing extremely pathetic in the hprninp's hlunderines. but Miss Davis never gives the portrait sentimental ism. The most adult offering of the week, "The Great Lie" continues to keep Miss Davis at the top of her form.

OIl Mclotly Assists In Reuniting Couple The nostalgia which melodies, associated with important events, usually bring up provides the theme for "Penny Serenade" the Irene Dunne-Cary Grant romance which headlines Loew's new program for the week. There is a great deal of familiar sentiment in this picture as Miss Dunne, idly playing over an album of old records on a phonograph, relives her life with her husband from whom she is willing to separate when neither seems to have need for the other. Of course they surmount these II. W. Key Takes Helm Of Round Table The Round Table, council of Louisville service clubs, has a new set of officers, headed by Chairman Henry W.
