Werner Bateman and Helen Hayes head the cast of the Gilbert Miller production of "Victoria Regina" which is opening here on January 2.

WHO'S WHO IN FILMS "Girls' School" might not be the most inviting title for a picture, and the name of John Brahm doesn't convey very much as tor. Ralph Bellamy has done some excellent work in the past, but he's also been in some very odd num-j bers. The same applies to Anne Shirley. All this, then makes complete and thus more agreeable the discovery that a picture called "Girls' School," and now at the Princess, is a extremely enjoyable film. That its story takes place in a school for young ladies called Magnolia Hall gives the picture one of its major assets.

We know Hollywood to be full of startlingly beautiful girls. That is the first item of a fan's catechism. But for "Girls' School" has been assembles no Goldwyn collection of flashing brunettes and amazing blondes. Magnolia Hail is a very exclusive-finishing establishment, and the pupils do this Social Register more than justice without introducing one false note of glamor. That this Magnolia Hall is exclusive, and that its Natalie Freeman is not Social Register, furnishes us with ground plan for some thoroughly pleasant moments.

Natalie, who is played (and beautifully) by Anne Shirley, is a scholarship pupil and must display er gratitude by acting as prefect and "snoop." This lands us without digression right into the plot of the film, and we are allowed to pick up the atmosphere as we get on with it On the other side of the fence is Linda Simpson. It is because of her "position" that her escapade of being out all night with a very minor poet is overlooked. The only result save our opportunity to watch the self-governing body of a girls' school at Work, with its lapses from the parliamentary form, and to observe the shadow of bribery in high places is that of Natalie's unpopularity as a sneak. This although she has carried out her duties as prefect under protest. The tale is told, with its gentle implications of class-consciousness, in a first-rate fashion.

Natalie is a sensitive figure but never a prig. At the same time we are given the adult drama of a teacher, just sketched in but with bold true strokes. And all this is set against the constant flow of action in Magnolia Hall, which is conveyed with expert directorial touches by Mr. Brahm and recorded by a brilliantly guided camera. Anne Shirley, whom we now remember to have done work of this calibre in "Stella Dallas," and Nan Grey as Linda head the cast, with Dorothy Moore, Gloria Holden, Mar-jorie Main, Margaret Tallichet and Jeanne Tree making it into a real group show.

"FOLIES DE PAREE" Well, the girl is a dancer now, but as wis gives us a cnance to see Joan Crawford dance again, and as she dances very gracefully we de. cide it is a good thing, and really needn't affect the problems in hand. We wonder though if the change from Dutch to Irish might not be dangerous.

But as this turns out to be an American branch of the family into which she is marrying, and even more gentlemanly about their farming, we are reconciled to the thought that the differences between Mr. Winter's original heroine and her in-laws might be about the same distance apart as this Olivia Riley and these Lindens So we are plunged into the film, pausing perhaps to remark whut a superb camera face is Miss Crawford's. Photogenic is. I suppose, the word for it. With Fay Bainter standing as the opposition, and with Margaret Sullavan as the sympathetic sister-in-law, we can settle back to enjoy just as good a conflict.

Snatches of the original dialogue reassure us, and we hardly notice that the play's younger brother has been switched into a trumpet-playing farm-helper, odd as it might seem in retrospect. The opening scene between Olivia and Judy, the- sister-in-law, comes off in fine style. And it is a pleasure to watch Miss Crawford catching the stylistic phrasings of Miss Sullavan. But gradually the film starts to shift about in its intentions. Thai background of Olivia's, the combination of Irish and dancer, strikes a familiar chord.

Surely we are getting a bit of Judy O'Grady amongst the Colonel's family? By the time MGM decides to burn a house instead of a barn, and to have Judy rescued at the last moment by Olivia, we are not quite so tolerant. Then comes a scene which seems to be right out of the Hollywood hat. It is between Olivia and Judy's husband, who is in love with her. A snap-happy ending with a auick blessing from Miss Bainter and a dash of comedy for the negro maid, and we are out of the woods. Still Miss Crawford is lovely to the last, and Melvyn Douglas, who plays her husband, is with her for the final shot.

This is perhaps a happier arrangement than having her pair off with the gloomy flippancy of Mr. Young, and gives another victory to married life. Miss Bainter didn't fare so well, due to hack of space, perhaps, but Miss buiiavan turns in another line performance. QMCF Member Plan Societies and important organi zations are showing great interest in the new corporate membership plan of the Quebec Musical Com. petition Festival, it was reported yesterday.

The new membership plan, introduced tor the first time this year, permits organizations and clubs to take out a membership the Festival which entitles three representatives of the member club to attend all Festival sessions. Alice Lighthall, organizer of the current campaign for supporting-members for the Music Festival, said that inquiries were reaching her office from all over eastern Canada and that many organizations had already taken out membership. Miss Liahthall also indicated thai entries for the Festival and for membership were being received in greater numbers than at the same time last year. Musicai organizations choirs, orchestras ensembles and individual instrumentaliststhroughout Quebec ana neighboring provinces are now preparing for participation in the Festival, and last year's entry list ol over 10,000 is expected to be exceeded this year. Seal Gets Medicine And Mail from Fans Hollywood postmen are carrying tn extra heavy burden these days-fan mail lor Slicker, a trained teal, who has found a permanent home in the film colony because of his performance in "Spawn of the North," with George Raft, Henry Fonda, and Dorothy Lamour.

The Paramount studio reports: "More than 300 letters to or about Slicker, plus 32 gifts of medicine, have been received during the past month by his trainer, H. W. Winston, of Monterey, Calif. 'The medicine resulted from three pages of material concerning Slicker published recently in Life magazine. The magazine, naming him Curley, stated in eaption that most California sea lions like him have gastric ulcers.

"Patent medicines far this complaint were forwarded to Slicker by three commercial houses, in addition to home remedies from solicitous fans," Previous experience with the play was the rule Edwin L. Marin, director, used to solve the problem of casting Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "A Christmas Carol," now at the Princess Theatre. Marin disclosed that a search was made for English actors who had played in the story at some time or other in their careers Reginald Owen, chosen to portray Scrooge, once enacted Tiny Tim, in a school performance in England. Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, members of the Dickens Society, have for years presented the play at their home every Christmas Day, with neighboring children in the cast. Their thirteen-year-old daughter June will portray Belinda, which she enacted in those home performances.

Leo G. Carroll, as Marley's Ghost, has played every part in the story, from the role of Tiny Tim, when he was a schoolboy, to other characters at various times in his long career on the British and New York stage. Lionel Braham, chosen for the Spirit of Christmas Present, played Fezziwig in a London production some years ago. "Getting players who know and love the story gives an enthusiasm born of this love," explains Marin. "And.

of course, keeping the cast British was important." FIRE SCENES DANGEROUS. Joan Crawford and Margaret Sullavan were active participants in one of the most hair-raising fire scenes filmed recently when Miss Crawford had to rush into a burning building, just after the roof had collapsed, to rescue Miss Sullavan. The scene furnishes ths climax of "The Shining Hour," film version of the Keith Winter stage play, which is now showing at the Capitol Theatre. A twenty-four room house, the front rooms were completely furnished, was burned to the ground for the occasion. For tr scenes the two stars had only the protection of fireproof dresses, lined with asbestos, and a special fire-proof makeup devised specially for the occasion.

On the side-lines of the set the studio fire department ready to rush into action should anything unforseen hapDen. The company is reported to have spent a few fearful seconds when, after Miss Crawford had entered the burning building, she failed to come right out "I knew it would make the scene more exciting the longer I was inside," said the star, so I stayed as long as I could." Fernand Gravet. who is seen as Johann Strauss II in "The Great Waltz." now in its second week at the Palace Theatre, was born in Brussels on Christmas Day. His full name is Fernand Mertyns Gravet. He was educated at St.

Paul's School in London, as had been his father before him. After the Armis-tice, Gravet returned to Brussels, where his father passed much of his work at the Galleries St. Hubert to his son. His mother was at that time well-known as a character actress. Later young Gravet accompanied his mother's travelling stock company for several months.

In early 1924. Gravet was called to serve his required two years in the Belgian army. Returning to Paris, he resumed his stage career. At that time he married the golden-haired Jane Renourdt, and together they were co-starred for three years on the French stage. Gravet's first film was made for the German company UFA.

Later he appeared in many French versions of American films at the Joinville Studios. He is reported to have had more than ten offers to go to Hollywood before he finally signed a contract after meeting 1Wprw TRnv rtrnrinrpr fnr the) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer company, DAUGHTER OF THE THEATRE. Although Joan Bennett, who shares stellar honors with Fredric March in "Trade Winds" which opens today at the Orpheum Theatre, never so much as expressed a desire to go on the stage until she was seventeen years old, it was but natural that she should eventually decide on a stage career, being of the seventh generation of theatrical folk on her mother's side. Her great great-great-grandfather was William Wood, a famous English pantomim-ist. Her grandmother was brought to American from Scotland and made her debut in New Orleans at the age of nine, later becoming Les ter waiiacK leading laay in the Wallack Company in New York.

Miss Bennett's father, Richard Bennett, gave her a role in his pi iy, in which she made her stage debut. This part proved sufficient to bring her several Hol'y-wood offers. Save for a temporary return a year ago to play in she has remained on the screen ever since. 'Aladdin' Pantomime In repponse to requests received from all parts of the city the Sun Life Dramatic Club has decided to repeat "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" in the Sun Life Auditorium on Saturday, January 14. David Mathcson will take the part as Widow Twankey, supported zy "Jackie" Greenfields in the popular role of Aladdin.

The full original cast of 120 members will appear again in their array and the 13 scenes will include the spectacle of the flying carpet with the occasional appearances of the camel which has not yet returned to Egypt. This decision of the Sun Life Players to repeat the performance will enable many of the people. who were turned away, to have thu opportunity of seeing the show. It Is also expected many who have already witnessed the spectacle will take advantage of this occa sion to renew their acquaintance witn tne production. Concert Is Planned On the occasion of their tenth anniversary.

Reginald Owen is a faithful Scrooge nd Barry MacKay makes his American film debut as his nephew in a manner that promises well for his future in the big-money film world. Possibly because he has less guidance from the book rather than in spite of it, Mr. McKay manages to be far more Dickensian in spirit than anyone else in the film.

Settings, costumes and groupings are so faithful and at the same time so effective as to justify another elition of the Dickens story illustrated "with scenes from the MGM production of the same name." "SHINING HOUR" AT CAPITOL. Keith Winter's success of several seasons ago, "the Shining Hour, told the story of a Dutch girl wht. married into a very British family, the Lindens, and by doing so piled up a lot of trouble for herself and for them, trouble that ended in tragedy. The play was outstanding in its own way as a study of family life amongst the gentlemen farmers of England. Its production was hailed as a triumphant example of the best in British acting, fer its cast included Gladys Cooper, Raymond Massey, Adrianne Allen and Mar-jorie Fielding.

The play has been the property of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios for some time. At one tim.f Greta Garbo was in line to play the Dutch girl. Now it finally arrives on the screen of the Capitol ths week. That Dw producers have shown some appreciation of its requirements if indicated by the fact that they have given it what may be called without too much lack oi restraint, an all star cast Joan Crawford, Margaret Sullivan, Fay Bainter, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young. There is, It must be admitted, a certain temptation to list the changes made in bringing "The Shining Hour" to the screen, and to speculate on the reasons behind them.

Some of them ire exceed- ingly practical. It is always too easy to forget that what counts is the result as a motion picture not as lllrTwW 1 t5 1 Wish.nn Ynss All I 7 A I "IT V'.
