I 'Philo Vance' in Film at Rio Gets His Man, Yon Bet; Frankie Darro in Feature No. 2 "CALLING PHILO VANCE" Philo Vance James Stephenson Hilda Margot Stevenson Markham Henry OTUeiU Ryan Edward Brophy Tom McDonald Ralph Forbes Philip Wrede Donald Douglas Gamble Martin Kosleck Doris Sheila Bromley Dr. Doremus James Conlon Grassi Edward Raquello Du Bois Cieighton Hale Hennessey Harry Strang Archer Coe Richard Kipling Brisbane Coe Wedgewood Nowell Ling Toy Bo Ling "CHASING TROUBLE" Cupid Frankie Darro Susie Marjorie Reynolds Lester George Cleveland Morgan Alex Callam Jefferson Man tan Moreland Mrs. O'Brien Lillian Elliott Callahan Milburn Stone Phillips Tristram Coffin Mootoff Stanford Jolley Kurt Willy Costello Cassidy Donald Kerr By PERRY MARKS Who stole the plans for the giant bomber? Who wounded the dog? Who is the killer? These are just a few of the questions that are answered at the climax of one of the two features at the RIO now. From the story "The Kennel Murder Case," by S.

S. Van Dine, "Calling Philo Vance is packed with murder mystery and action. James Stephenson as Philo Vance goes through his assign ment in great style. Following a plane designer to Vienna, Philo Vance is caught and deported to Australia, then back to good old U. S.

A. He has to swim to safety when the captain of the ship is ordered to return him to Vienna. From here on the fun begins. The killer is so clever that you hardly know who to suspect until the final scene, but you can always bet that Vance "gets his man." 1 Edward Brophy as the inspector, and James Conlon as the Coroner furnish the comedy. Why is it that all coroners in pictures are eating when called on to perform an autopsy? The clever photography and direction helps to tie each scene together without many fade outs.

One of the cleverest scenes is Philo Vance explaining to the much startled inspector the way the murder were committed. Frankie Darro as Cuoid A florists delivery boy (Frankie Darro) spends half of his time working out the handwritings of people in "Chasing Trouble," the other feature. Yes he's a graphologist. That is the theme of the RIO's second hit. Frankie Darro does well with the story he little far fetched, but it makes good entertainment.

Instead of delivering flowers, he gets mixed up with gangsters who are out to commit sabotage. He has. a hard time ittine the right boy friend to date the florist's assistant, in whom he has taken a great interest. She listens to him and. though fie flowers sent her by the ringleader, he catches the whole mob red handed.

Mantan Moreland as Jefferson the colored driver, steals the picture from Frankie. Blonde Mar jorie Reynolds is a brunette in this one. Hollywood By ED SULLIVAN Bagdad on the Pacific What the Martin Dies investi gation of Hollywood will uncover is that there is a very small group of movie Communists, but hell find that most of us out here are decent, law abiding citizens In fact, when it appeared that Congress would choke off the Dies Committee appropriation, Harry M. Warner offered his own dough to extend the work of ferreting out subversive groups Two years ago, there was a Communist drift; Russia's invasions of Poland and Finland acted as a cauterizing agent I like Arthur Murray's definition: "Hollywood is the place where people work themselves to death to earn a living." Universal, Warner's and 20th Century Zanuck are bidding for an Abbott end Costello picture, with Universal having the inside track Representatives of the "Hellz a Poppin" comics are here to look over the layout. Judging from the terrific publicity Warner's is sending out on Edward G.

Robinson, they must be tiffing with Paul Muni When Alex Woollcott lost his voice in the Los Angeles stand of "The Man Who Came to Dinner," George S. Kaufman took Wooll cott's place, much to the unhappi ness of collaborator Moss Hart, who'd rather be an actor than an author on Saturday night, Kaufman swears that before the cough had died away, Moss was back in the dressing room with a full stage makeup on The next Dietrich picture goes to the cameras in May. Now that Jack Benny's Rochester has clicked, Paramount is doing it to death with colored valets in every comedy They even gave Fred MacMurray one in "Remember the Night." Rudy Vallee1 tells pals that he will, wed Pat Dane in the spring The Betty Grable contract at 20th Century Fox, signed by Jules Stein, has clause in it which permits her to buy it back for 10 G's Add curios: The bellhop in "Dr. Ehrlich" is Louis Ad Ion, whose family owned' the famous Adlon Hotel in Berlin I Ml til AND PREVIEWS By PAUL WALKER THE writer rises to a point of error. All the time he had been believing and telling you that James Barton, whom he saw do "Jeeter Lester" in the New York production of "Tobacco Road was to do likewise in the State Theatre presentation on March 25.

nil JJIIIIllllll I Ill I '3' i if Brenda Joyce, Richard Greene (see the pretty dimple), Fred MacMurray and Alice Faye in "Little Old New York" at the Colonial Thursday. MacMurray's now in State's "Remember the Night." State. There's a new light in her eye, a new flare in her acting, a genuineness, which before, was somehow lacking. There is a generous portion of warm loveliness in the Barbara who plays the lady crook (in the reforming stage) to Fred MacMurray's district attorney. Out to put her in jail, the poor guy falls in love with her on a Christmas holiday "back home in Indiana," he having accepted custody.

Good sequences: Barbara with a 21 inch waist being corsetted into a 19 inch dress, vintage of 1905. The New Year's Ev barn dance somewhere "Along the Wabash." Sterling Holloway learning to yodel. JOHN GARFIELD'S portrayal of the doomed man, unjustly going to the electric chair in "Castle on the Hudson" (Colonial) is just they hadn't shaved his head for the electrodes, the usual procedure. Ann Sheridan, the girl in the case, is graduating from Oomph to genuine ability. Withal it's a satisfying picture, based on the usual jail film theme of "the man in jail and his girl on the outside." Jhe fadeout, though believable and logical, isn't as happy as some would have They've called a new book, "Dildo WHEN Kaye Witmer was "Hollywoodating," Pauline Moore, Har risburg's gift to pictures, made a record, "Hello to Harrisburg." Kaye played it on her WKBO program this morning! Were you listening? ORTHWEST PASSAGE" is another instance in which the lI makers grandly ignore the sex appeal angle, permitting Spencer Tracy to create a life size portrait of about the most gallant figure ever to walk out of the pages of a book, Major Rogers of the Rangers What a (Loew's Thursday!) Incidentally Harrisburgers get the first look at "Northwest Passage." Elsewhere first runs open on Friday.

Ed W. H. P. Smith caught it in the screening room in MGM's New York offices, is still raving, especially about the Indian massacre. If they manage conjure up the pictures Kenneth Robert's book set forth so vividly and magnificently (but they can't), you're in for the thrill of a lifetime.

All there, swift, smooth and sure.

"Green Hell" (Senate) is definitely on the minus side, a fumbling combination of this, that and the other thing Joan Bennett lands in the jungle camp of explorers; just widowed (Hubby was one of them). Typical shots: Joan in well tailored dress, rouged and powdered, taking her place on the firing line, Geo. Sanders kissing Joan's hand and getting a mouthful of soap (she was washing her hair).

Answering Sadie McAlpin: "Married Pretty and Poor" was made twice before in pictures, 1933 and 1934. All three are cinematic projections of the stage play, "Saturday's Children."

SHELLEY Adventure fans who like their filmfare on the swashbuckling side will find "Green Hell," yesterday's arrival at the Senate Theatre, to their liking. The dashing Doug Fairbanks, turns in a good performance as the leader of a band of seven advan tures in search of wealth. Joan Bennett is good as the wife of one of the group who follows her husband into the jungle. The seven adventurers, after enduring many hardships, find the Inca city they are hunting in the Brazilian jungle. Vincent Price, one of the is killed by In dians.

Joan is Price's wife, and her presence complicates the lives of the men. Tropical storms, jungle fever and attacks from the Indians all lend to the action.
