AMUSEMENTS N0WJR1CO BIG RKO STAGE SHOW GREGORYS ESTER COLE CHESTER COAL TRUCK GOES THROUGH SIDEWALK AND CAUSES FLOOD IN NEWSPAPER ROW The truck, operated by John J. Calahane of 36 White East Boston, was about to make delivery of a load of coal at the rear of the structure.

Court which extends around the building, was the actual scene of the water break. A large rear wheel of the truck MUSIC SANDERS THEATRE Harvard-RadclifTe Choruses The concert by the Harvard Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral Society Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, last night was particularly engrossing. Invariably G. Wallace Woodworth, conductor of both organizations, chooses music well out of the ordinary, but this program was even more adventurous. An ensemble of brass instruments and E.

Power Biggs, organist, assisted. As beginning, there were four choruses found in the Sacrae Sym phoniae by the prodigious Venetian Larrangcment of the choice bit of it in a remarkably individual style. For masculine vigor combined with a flexible sort of melody and a certain spareness that reveals the modern spirit, Mr. Piston's work is altogether extraordinary. Nor is it without touches of humor.

The combination of brass and mens voices might promise too much of one color, but such is not the case in the way Mr. Piston has contrasted them. The composer bowed from his seat in the audience. Two gems by Randall Thompson, Howl Ye, from The Peaceable Kingdom and the Tarantella on a verse of Hillaire Belloc, and choruses of Mozart and Handel were on the list.

His Girl Friday moves with the dash of a champion sprinter, it glitters like tinsel on a Christmas tree and it is as funny as a fat lady on a diet Audiences at the State and Orpheum Theatres yesterday roared with mirth at its rowdy humor, and appeared to enjoy the revamped story quite as much as they did the original. There are no sentimental passages in His Girl Friday and every emotion is sacrificed for a laugh. Even a girl who commits suicide, after being badgered, misquoted and sneered at by a group of men reporters, is a mere incident in the story and her sad fate evokes not one whet of sympathy from any character. If one had time to analyze the plot, it would be rather shocking. But the theme is speed and more speed, hysteria mounting to more hysteria, and action so fast that it falls all over itself.

Occasionally overabundance of emphasis causes strange lulls in the suspense, and there are sequences which serve as breathing spells from the rest of the speedy story. Otherwise the audience might be exhausted from constant laughter. Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant rush through the picture in the highest spirits and from appearance the entire cast must have had a gay time on the set There are many jokes on themselves that have been inserted. For instance, when asked what Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy) looks like, Mr. Grant says to his stooge, much like that fellow in the movies, Ralph Bellamy.

And in another scene Grant says I havent had so much fun since Archie Leach cut his throat. It happens that Mr. Grants real name is Archie Leach, which of course convulses all movie fans who are in on the gag. The story concerns a managing editor whose wife, his star reporter, has not only divorced him but given up newspaper work. She returns to tell him she is engaged to marry a gentlemanly, credulous, respectable insurance salesman, the role taken by Mr.

Bellamy. The editor, through a fabulous series of maneuvers, gets her back to write the story of a convicted murderer, Earl Williams, who is to be hanged in the morning but who makes an amazing escape. Mishap, misadventure and mischance, each funnier than the one before, bring about the end of the girl reporters engagement and her remarriage to the editor. In the meantime she has hidden the escaped murderer in a roll-top desk, become the centre of countless brawls with newspaper men, sheriffs and city officials anc seen her fiance arrested three times. Convicted Woman a screen play by Joseph Carole, is the story of how much reformation the average womans prison needs.

Rochelle Hudson appears as an innocent prisoner trapped by circumstantial evidence and Frieda Inescort plays a wise and human superintendent who inaugurates a new regime. There are some interesting scenes of what Hollywood thinks girl prisoners should rate in the way of prison comforts. METROPOLITAN Sidewalks of London Seventeen Sidewalks of London by Clem ence Dane.

Ward Old Maud Claire Greet PpKK'f A If Goddard Blackface Cyril Smith Vivien Leigh and Charles Laugh ton share honors in Sidewalks of London," chief film at the Metropolitan, and although their accents are sometimes a trifle too British for American ears, they never fail in putting on a first rate show. Miss Ligh and Mr. Laughton give an exhibition for acting that deserves all the honors which have been heaped upon them for pictures far more pretentious than Sidewalks of London. yet no more entertaining.

Miss Leigh honestly won her Academy award for the film at the Metropolitan, made before she came to this country to star jn the me morable Gone With the Wind, proves that she is an actress rather than just a type. The picture is a colorful story of the famous English buskers the sidewalk entertainers who sing, dance and recite before waiting theatre-goers in order, to gain the few pennies that mean their livelihood. Laughton portrays Charles, a middle-aged, kindly busker, who recites famous poems with appropriate gestures. Miss Leigh is a homeless who is heartless, greedy and dishonest, yet in whose heart lies the ambition that is to get her to the top. Charles befriends her and obtains an opportunity for her to be taken up by professional theatrical people.

She promptly and cruelly deserts him, after causing a scene in his rooming house and breaking his heart by her gibes. There is an ending that doesnt seem characteristic, when Libby, now a famous star, regrets her past and tries to get a job in her company for her former benefactor. It is hard to believe that such a calculating and cold lady as Libby would forget herself long enough to flout' the crowds waiting to see her and pursue the ragged and unhappy Charles out into the London streets. However, it makes a magnificent opportunity for both Miss Leigh and Mr. Laughton to turn on the histrionic fireworks.

The really remarkable supporting cast includes Rex Harrison, who has been r-en in many pictures imported to this country; Ronald Ward and Tyrone Guthrie. Booth Tarkingtoni original story P-15- Mexican Spitfire." 2-05. 8 05 LIBERTY Dark Victory" and B.rh lor Mother. Matinee at 1.45. nings at 7 43.

Music of richness and elaboration. Gabrielis choruses have an astonishing variety of effects. They are at once massive, yet graceful, not without dull moments when the interplay of voices becomes too involved, but prevailingly attractive. One chorus required three divisions which answer each other, a problem solved by disposing the groups on the stage and in the balconies. An exacting device, it was neatly carried off.

Of equal interest was the Carnival Song of Walter Piston, written for the Harvard Glee Club in 1938 and last night given first performance. Mr. Piston fitted to a text of Lorenzo de Medici, music for male voices and brass instruments, doing AMUSEMENTS LOEWS STATE YIPEE-Theyre Here- The Prairie Queen and Cactus King in a Rootin-Tootin Saga-Daga of the Bold, Brawling Badlands!

Jackie Cooper as a small town Romeo and Betty Field as the sophisticated belle of 16 play the principal roles in this gay and sparkling comedy. They are far smoother socially than the characters created by Tarking-ton, but it would probably be difficult today to find any 17-year-old country club adolescents who resemble the awkward and credulous boys of the period in which Tarking-ton wrote the story.

Norma Nelson is especially good as the annoying little sister of the hero while Betty Moran is amusing as the girl who invites the lovely Lola Pratt to visit her. thus starting all the romantic havoc. RKO BOSTON THEATRE Vaudeville Two Film Features Things are Improving. If you dont believe it listen to George Beatty, lanky headliner at the RKO Boston Theatre this week, who tells about the man he saw in a New York breadline, carrying a toaster under his arm. Such tidbits of nonsense, a hilarious take off on a playboy at the deep of a bender, and some frolicsome songs, including an outspoken ditty about a man who married a strip tease dancer, make up Mr.

Beattys offering an act that is strung on laughs. Other good things on this excellent bill include some most melodic tunes by Lester Cole and his Singing Debutantes. Lovely to look at and nicer to hear, these girls play magic with Victor Herbert melodies and turn on the heat with Johnny Johnny. They later becomingly develop solemnity for a top rate renditon of a Gershwin piece from Porgy and Bess. This draws down the house.

Billed as Musical Maniacs, Charles Gregory and Jules Raymon offer an unsuual routine. The things they draw music from include an inner tube, the neck of a rubber glove and an electrically-driven vacuum cleaner, but the music they evoke is anything but maniacal. Also there is the singing, dancing and patter act of Chester Fredericks and Gloria Lane and the novel, well-balanced and entertaining routine presented by Woolfords Pets dogs with a flare for showmanship. Of the two first run films Isle of Destiny and Mercy Plane, the second is the better though the first has top billing. Mercy Plane is notable for two things: the very unusual story idea and the return of smiling James Dunn of the screen.

Dunn gives a first rate portrayal of an ingratiating pilot who becomes involved, innocently of course, with a murderous gang who steal planes as other thieves steal automobiles, and then they dispose of their wares to a foreign power. Isle of Destiny makes use of a new color process called Cosmo-colo which provides some handsome Hawaiian scenic tapestries, but the plot creaks and the dialogue is redundant. The cast, partcularly William Gargan, Wallace Ford and June Lang, deserve better material. East Milton Choir to Give Seven Last Words of Christ Rev. Eugene A.

The flood of water flowed out across Washington st. and down State st. and into the sewer. Workmen shut off the supply about 15 minutes after the mishap. Americana, Casey Jones, was sheer fun.

It remains only to say that the Harvard Glee Club tone this year seems richer than it has for some seasons past, and that the Radcliffe singers were competent. C. W. D. Private Rendition SALT LAKE CITY, March 8 (AP) City Auditor Jerrold Beesley very promptly said no you don't! as a messenger boy walked into the jCity Commission chamber to deliver a singing telegram.

Beesley ushered the youth into a deserted corridor, then smiled happily as the messenger sang Happy birthday to you!
