DAVID IT was inevitable that the noted fantasy-comedy vviih sors, called "I Married an Ai.srvl," should go through simewhat of a wash in its transfer to the screen. One was curious as to whther much of the starch and Fujpstion would be removed in the jnorpss. The photoplay; with more musical treatment, arrived at Loew's yesterday, and it struck the department at the opening that the necessary changes had been made with a deal of judgment as to elimination of the ultra risque, but that the original lost some sparkle along the way. The picture is, however, a genially humorous thing, witty to some degree and produced with smart, smooth finish and a lush display of feminine charms. It in hardly a thing for impressionable youngsters.

Trrsmt 11 Songs That it is tuneful was to be expected, for it is the new vehicle of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, and they have been provided with some good sonts and spots. They have, in fact, 11 songs, most ef which they sing together, at times, and the best of them is that bearing the title Is Here," "Paris in Spring, "End of a Dream" and "A Twinkle in Your Eye," which Miss MacDonald sings with B4pnie Barnes, also have appeal. Miss MacDonald also does a variety of stepping in brief shots, hut her jazz number with Miss Barnes is a bit too long for its I NEW ENTERTAINMENT PLACE This is an illuminated view of the new Drive-In Theater. located in Scottsville Road, II ft i i i Grand Canyon Will Be Glorified In New Technicolor Film AT MERCY OF MONSTER Heavy Lionel Atwill finds himself in clutches of Monster (Lon Chaney) in "Ghost of Frankenstein," top Temple film.

Bernard Regan, Lima attorney, chairman in his town for the Navy Relief Society drive quota of $200 assigned to Lima, reports he has remitted to head' quarters $276, that town going over the top in the campaign.

The Lima campaign got off slowly but closed well, and Regan expressed the hope that the remaining towns in Livingston County will be equally responsive. Chairman Mahlon Bomstad has remitted headquarters a total of $105.67 from Sarinwater; Chair man Lynn Barber of Nunda. with quota of $225, turned in $240.3 Chairman for Avon is Thomas H.

Japs Assured Scrap From Elevated Line York (iP)-The Board of Estimate yesterday voted the condemnation of the Second Avenue from Chatham Square to 59th Street about four miles. The board also passed a resolution vesting title in the city and approved contract plans and specifications for sale and removal of the structure. During a discussion on where- the scrap metal from the line would end up, City Council President Newbold Morris asserted: "I don't think there ts any doubt now that we demolish this railroad, we are going to send this elevated crap to Japan." I is worth. Both of the stars are in admirable voice, and others in sup port sing effectively. Much of the sophisticated glitter, suggestion and spicy risque flavor of the original has been removed, and we are given much more of a Cinderella story than that of an nr.gel who hadn't been too long In heaven to be long unsusceptible to worldly influences.

The fact that the angel loses her wings as soon as she marries is passed over quickly, and we have our attention focused mainly on her innocence, her blunders from a social standpointin adherence to the truth in all comment and her efforts to right things in social circles for the ake of her husband by appearing as a glamorous night club creature who flatteringly to all who "count." Miss MacDonald accomplishes-this transformation admirably in the manner in which she obviously was directed by Major W. S. Van Dyke II, and the satire of the idea well expressed. However, the naive Cinderalla atmosphere Is still present and It seems more e'ever mummery than convincing action. Dayboy Banker Count Willie Palaffi (Eddy) Is the head of a Budapest bank, but he is a and leaves its conduct to his uncle, "Whiskers" (Reginald Owen).

The latter urges him to marry and settle down. At h.s big birthday party, Willie is heseiged by beauties who would entice him into wedlock; circumstances cause him to dance with Anna (Miss MacDonald), a poor clerk in the bank, who is beautiful, hut lacking in glitter. He escapes from tho party, takes a nap and has a dream in which Anna comes to him as an angel to marry him, because she knows he is "lonely." He is captivated and weds her. There is a honeymoon in Paris end then ft return to a big reception, in which the unworldly Anna, with no intent to wound, speaks the truth in personal comment to guests. This causes a sensation and the threat of a run on the bank.

To save Willie trouble, and with the coaching of shrewd Peggy (Miss Barnes), she poses as a worldly lady and sets about undoing the damage. Also on Loew's bill is "Alias Boston Elackie," with Chester Morris. Adele Mara, Richard Lane, Larry Parks and others. It is a fair comedy-melodrama of the Boston Black; series, and it is pleasing to free the able Morris work again. This chap Larry Parks, a nwfomer registers well in a.

hardbitten convict role. Miss Mara does satisfactory work, too. Hamilton Alumni Pick Rochesterian Willard B. Eddy of S7 Nunda r.lvd., president of the Rochester Germicide Company, is the new president of Hamilton College's Alumni Council, having been named at the 130th commencement in Clinton. Eddy was one of nine Rochester alumni who returned to the campus for the commencement, others being.

By LOU ELLA LJ0LLYW00D (INS) One 1 1 world, the Grand Canyon, come next October, by IIKO in Canyon. The reason for the wait until October is because the Technicolor experts advlae that the canyon colors are at their deepest in the tall. So, until Mother Nature gets out her best Richard Dix, Ginny Simms and James Craig all lined up for the cast will have to wait. Ginny SI mm it Won't Sing I was particularly interested in this break for Miss Simms (Kay Ilyser's former singer) because she will warble nary a note as the all-out Western heroine. RKO thinks they have something in her that uoesn't depend on the way she sings "Moonlight Cocktail." it- Only George Tobias, one of our most amusing comedians, could make me forget how much I wanted the volatile "Roosian," Gregory Ratoff, to play Mr.

Ap- ropolous in "My Sister Eut Tobias will be all right, and is, I believe, a perfect choice. Gordon Jones is being brought on from New York for the vole of "Wreck," the young man who ii-es upstairs and runs through the house in shorts. It's the role he created, Donald McBride has signed to play the suspicious cop The still handsome mother of Rita Hayworth was an interesting visitor on Rita's set at Columbia yesterday. This was Mrs. Cansino's first visit to her daughter's set In all the years the latter has been a movie actress.

Mrs. Cansino comes from a dancing family, and she was able to judge just how well Miss Hayworth and Fred Astaire were doing their steps. The story, temporarily titled, "Carnival In Rio," gives Rita two younger sisters; and as ehe cannot marry until they are married off, there are interesting complications.

Ladies, is has Victor Mature at his handsomest. These are potent points to sell, but a more important one for the long1 rung of 10 reels or so is the excellent quality of their performances. This is his best, and certainly one of her topmost. Which could not be so were it not for the fact thit the picture has a substantial story as well as delightful music. And to carry them, and other factors, we are given a fine, artistlo production, its merits highly enhanced by technicolor all along; the way.

It is for. adults. The film is built around the colorful life of one of the country's foremost popular song; composers back in the Gay '90s and early 1900', Paul Dresser, the late brother of the eminent novelist, Theodore Dreiser, A a young Indianan resolved to have career in popular music, he left home, joined medicine shows, made his way to Chicago and then New York, he wrote hia outstanding successes, became a Broadway favorite personally as well as the reigning composer of popular songs throughout the country and died in 1911 of a broken heart when jilted by an actress he loved. This outline of his career is tallowed in the story of "My Gal Sal," although liberties thave been taken aa to details and incidents, and especially the finish, which is not tragic. It makes a tiptop and closely knit story for a musical, and as directed by veteran Irving Cummings and played by Mature, Miss Hayworth and the others, it has freshness and vibrancy, movement, variety and romantic warmth.

Most of the way it is a blend of more or less stormy romance and humors. It has the authentic flavor and atmosphere of the time; care has been taken that almost nothing, except a bit of the speech, should be out of period. Mature gets well inside the character of Dresser an4 makes him live; he plays the composer in a variety of moods and hits the right notes. His scenes with Miss Hayworth have been most happily staged. She meets the acting demands fully, vitalizing and keying her Sally Elliott, vivacious and jealous star accurately at all times.

She sings appealinzly, too, in a light, unpretentious but caressing soprano, and often telling humorous accents. It is when she dances with her superb grace and instinctive rhythm, her fluency and arresting postures that she puts the capsheaf on her delightful performance. John Sutton plays Sally's quiet suitor-producer admirably, Carole Landis and Mona Maris and some romantic color, and James Gleason, Walter Catlett, Phil Silves, Frank Orth and John Kelly contribute ably to the comedy. Suchf fine, enduring old Dresser songs as "On the Banks of the Wabash," "My Gal Sal," "Mr. Vol unteer" and others catch the fancy again, and some of them are elab orately staged in the proper old mode and manner.

As an extra feature, the Palace offers a plotty which mixes comedy and enemy agents in dire doings. It keeps moving, and too often depending on stupidity to make its twists possible. Richard Carlson and Nancy Kelly lead the acting recruits well enough and the latter boast Albert Basserman 8nd Walter Kingsford. G. L.
