PAGE THIRTEEN MORNING EDITION THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE i TUESDAY NOVEMBER. 22 T932 IFREDHIC HH AT THE MOVIES 'MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. You know it's full of hokum, but no matter how hard your arteries may be you can't help getting a punch out of "Madison Square Garden," the boa f.ght picture now showing at the Lyric. There's more poking and slugging, more rosin and cauliflower in that picture than in three annual issues of the Boxing Record. There's a 10-round match for the high point of the picture, and villain's dupe has plaster of Paris in his gloves.

Jack Oakie, however, is the ambitious, but square fighter who won't stay down beyond counts. There's Madison Square Garden for the setting and a half a dozen the best men of the fighting and wrestling game and four of the headliners among the sports writers for color. And there's petite Marian Nixon to furnish just enough love interest to round out the story. Also therd is a wrestler who is oh, dumb. Besides Oakie and Miss Nixon, Legislators of Old Second District Meet Members of the Minnesota house representatives from the old sec ond congressional district, meeting Monday at Windom, adopted a resolution pledging themselves to a program of economy in state govern ment, although they indorsed no one for sneaker of the house at the com ing legislative session.

The session proposed that the group favor appointment of a committee to be named by the caucus choice for speaker in St. Paul Saturday, the committee to be composed of one member from eftfh congressional dis- trict. The committee would draw up a tentative program of legislation and would report to the speaker on the first day of the legislative session. J. P.

Graff. New Ulm, is chair man of the group from the old sec ond congressional district, and John Connell of Luverne Is secretary.

The plot is not so much, but at least it moves along right smartly, it was written to provide plenty of closeups of the scenes in Madison Square Garden, in the training camps and in tht lives of fighters and would-be fighters when they get together to hear words from their managers. Oakie, with the aid of his faithful manager, builds himself up to big chance in the garden and in the estimation of Miss Nixon, the counter-girl in the telegraph office.

Each of these musicians has en joyed public favor for years. They the type whose worn may al ways be "depended on In an artistic sense.

This concert proved no exception to the general rule.

"Zur Run sur Ruhr" and "Salutation of the Dawn," with Mr, Fischer contributing the obligate. A song dedicated to Mrs. McCartney, "The Enchantress." by Anna Costello Luetke, is an admirable example of the creative work that is being done by American song writ ers.

"The cablegram," he said, "asked me to send a description of a performance I could give In a 'motsi-chal' a music hall, I suppose but before I answer I'll have to get up some material. "I've cabled Alexander Wollcott, who Is In Moscow and made the arrangements for me, to find out whetneer they want me to appear In a musical comedy or In a vaude- ille sketch. I'd prefer a musical, vaudeville's hard work." DICK POWELL I IHI CASE IS PUZZLE Marlene Dietrich Has Picture to Go, While Director's Contract Runs Out. 1 Bf Mollis Merrirk.

Hollywood, Nov. 21. NA NA) In one week Josef von Sternberg: Is scheduled to besln what may hla Uiit picture with Marlene Dietrich as star, "Hurricane," the. story for which Von Blernberir has been storm hunting aboard a yacht In none, too gentle waters, commences a few days prior to the pxpiration of the Von Sternberg contract. But the Dietrich contract has two pictures yet to go.

Which makes the plication. Should the starting; date of "Hurricane" be delayed, it would be possible to Mollie Merrick. fcave a halt In production If Von Sternberg- should not see tit to sign with Paramount again. But there Is no complication In be eomnanv's arranitemenU, for they have Rouben Mamoullan, Just returned from Europe, sitting ready to lift the directorial hand for "Song ef Songs," the Alfred Henry Suder-tnann story which the company has decided will be the vehicle to follow "Hurricane." So Von or no Von, Dietrich will go an for two more film at the home tudlo. Ernest Truex la the next Broadway star to start Hollywoodward.

He mill plav the lead mle In "Whistling In the Dark," which he did so successfully on the stage. The company closes Its run In Boston within a few days and then the actor will tart immediately from M.Q.M. That tudio took Innumerable tests of available actors with motion picture eznerlence but came to the conclu Ion that nobody could give them the finished type performance Truex Is capable of in this role. Each day some stage star puts another notch In the Hollywood record. Edward Everett Morton signed to do a big film for-the British Oau mont company, He'a had another offer from Ufa and may take It be fore his return here.

Indeed. It might well be contemporary. One cannot feel, after finding It In Its current bloom, that It must be dat ed. There is no mustiness of antlq nitv pervading It. Rather, the Joy of youthful life still courses through It.

The Oscar Strauss lyrics, particularly that exalted "My Hero." which seemingly Is Immortal, atill throb melodiously, rapturously. This revival has been contrived with a good measure of expertness and excellence. The capabl cast, led by Miss Aklns end Mr. Purcell, revealed many good voices to bring out the best in the operatic composition m-ith a marked degree of vitality, "The Chocolate Soldier," born to the delight of the theater public In 1909. snrang from one of George Ber nard Shaw's pert but thoroughly musing comedies, "Arms and the Man."

But it is in the exultant and enchanting melodies that one may he sure lies the principal reason for the lengthy survival, Strauss was In happy vein when he composed the music lor this piece. He gave generously of his brilliance, and certainly we must be grateful for the soaring -My Hero," which, oddly enough and In defiance of the general plan of operatic construction, Is brought in the ears early in the first act. It really Is the theme song, if we mi dare to term It such, of the enmnosllion.

Most likely any other composer would have saved It for a luxurious climax to a secona act. "The Chocolate Soldier" requires voices of true operatic merit to match the duality of the music. Miss Aklns and Mr. Purcell meet the spec mentions former accom pllshes the "My 'Hero" number with lan. making It all the tour de force which It is.

Edward Mulcahy Is effective decisively In the comic role of Captain MassaKroii, In short, "The Chocolate Soldier" is nlayed and sung, never In the least mauled. The oneretta has been compart oned with distinction.

Although ome of the sets are a little the worse for wear, the costumes, and there are many, remain fresh. There is every reason why music conscious persons should see and hear this revival. There will he per fm-mances for the balance of the week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. E. N.
