Spencer Tracy and Wendy Barry will be featured. Bubble Dance SALLY RAND, who did more for the ostrich farms than a rainstorm on a fraternal order dress parade, is dancing with rubber bubbles this year one bubble to be exact but what a large one. Packed auditoriums greeted her yesterday at the Palace and the if applause is the meter, is greater than the fan.

There is, to an eye reasonably well back in the audience, as much willingness for art's sake in this new version as in the first and the dance itself is worthy of a feature spot on any show. With Sally doing it well, all those columns and pictures in the paper haven't been entirely due to press agentry. Accompanying the star is a group of players you may recall as fixtures in the variety and revue worlds. William and Joe Mandell, whose comedy acrobatics range from breakaway scenery to flying leaps, are continuing to gather laughter- Joe Hasan who stages a better pitch1 on the stage than you'll find in any deserted store corner nnri vou can find some eood ones still accomplishes wonders with that potato peeler. Thfi Three Thrillers stage a whirlwind rollerskating act.

Shudders IF INTEREST is ready to be re-1 vivcd, as it seems to be, in the dime novel shockers as recorded on celluloid, there's spine chilling material in Loew's "The Mark of the Vampire." Bela Lugosi, Lionel Barrymore and Elizabeth Allan are the principal players in this terror tale. In background it follows the tested formula. The picture opens against a terrorized mid-European countryside with the players in the tavern unfolding for the auditor the familiar vampire superstition. You then meet the first body and the police from the city arrive to cross purposes with the country doctor who insists upon the supernatural while the coppers seek to trace a clever killer of mortal body. Miss Allan is the girl apparently marked as the second victim of MARK OF THE VAMPIRE' Metro-Ooldwyn-Mayer picture.

Directed by Ted Browning. Screen play by Ouy Endore and Bernard Schubert. Showing tit Loew's theater. THB CAST Professor Lionel Barrymore Irena Elisabeth Allan Count Mora Bela Lugosi Inspector Neumann Lionel Atwlll Baron Otto Jean Hersholt Pxlor Henry Wadsworth Dr. Doskll Donald Meek Midwlla Ra'Ph jan Ivan Simpson Chauffeur Pranklyn Ardell jjarla Leila Bennett Annie June Oittelson un Carol Borland Sir Knrell Holmes Herbert Innkeeper Michael Visaroft the half-dead crew of vampires And Lionel Barrymore is intro duced as the college professor oft things occult seeking to lay me horrors.

When you have sustained sufficient shocks you'll find the film evolving into a fair detective yarn. Lugosi's hideous makeup, a bad dream bat girl and Jean Hersholt as the rural nobleman round out the cast of principals. An example of able screen me chanics, but little more. Rib CHARLES BUTTERWORTH'S fling at kidding the hard eggs in "Baby Face Harrington," at Loew's, apparently comes too soon to win any degree of popular approval. And, even though its appearance is untimely, there are a few reasons why it may never turn the trick.

Lauehs are there, quite a few of them, but you must be willing to accept your very bad men as something less than the diamond hard boys the current wave of detective pictures will tell you they are. The butterfly couraged Butterworth is forced into a situation that gives him the appearance of being a hard hombre and circumstances pile up the meanwhile to convince the police that he is a "split personality," a timid soul by day, a mugg by night. Most of the laughs develop as he upsets the police third degree by sappy answers and then edges his way into the respect of the real bandits by presenting a baby front that awes them with its "artistry." Grand moments are available during the suicide scene in the barn a swell buildup for a cli it 'BABY FACE HARRINGTON' Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture. Directed by Ralph Walsh. Screen play by Nunnally Johnson and "Edwin H.

Knopf. Play by Ed(tar Selwyn and William La Baron. Showing at Loew's theater THE CAST Wlllit Charles Butterworth Milllcent Una Merkel Ronald Harvey Stepheni Uncle Henry Eugene Pallette Rocky Nat Pendleton Dorothy Ruth Selwyn Skinner Donald Meek Edith Dorothy Libatra Albert Edward Nugent George Robert Livingston Mullens Stanley Field role, and it suffers chiefly from sparse situations and laugh lines. Una Merkel is pleasing as the trusting and ever loving wife. Nat Pendleton and Eugene Pallette top the support.

A swell premise for ribbing the hard guys, but audiences seldom are willing to let their villains be ribbed until they tire of them. And seems that the gangster is the villain par excellence of the hour. Tough for Charles, but those who won't be too serious at a movie can have the full quota of laughs.

Haines Mrs, Emerson Grace Hampton and Ralph Bellamy, for leading Good setup for telling a matinee romance, and that is the extent of what is accomplished.

The gyp night club operator sees the girl at a charity bazar and offers her a Job. Circumstances quickly force her to accept. Their romance is one-sided with the girl keeping clear until the society play boy arrives of an evening seeking vengeance for a former cheating. Looks like love at first sight and is just that. Getting the pair together and overcoming home objects and a slight misunderstanding round out the picture's task.
