"Mitisummer Night's Dream" marks a new era in cinematic progress, in that the quality of honest entertainment has been instilled into what might have been called a "high brow" production. Imaginative and strangely beautiful sequences are recorded through the photographer's art. Instead of hearing fairies talk about ascending to heaven on the moonbeams, one sees them gracefully mounting to the stars.

It is the first satisfactory achievement in the often tried attempt to express Shakespearean drama through the medium of the screen. Max Reinhardt has been considered the world's master in the art of splendid pageantry.

And stars sparkle and shine even on the lips of the fairy royalty when they quarrel or are reconciled. Victor Jory, an Oberon, gives dignified and yet fanciful interpretation. He like Olivia De Havilland, Jean Muir and Ian Keith seems to understand that too often neglected art of reciting blank verse. Indeed, Olivia De Havilland presents the most believable and the most cogent characterization in the film. As Hermia, she is gentle, lovely and the prototype of all.

There is a picturesque individuality to her work that inakes her outstanding. Nor is Jean Muir far behind. That typically feminine quarrel between the two girls when their lovers disagree is excellently delineated. Dick Powell and Ross Alexander aTe not as wholly successful. They are a little too consciously winning, too comic in their love battles.

It would seem more suitable should these same young men play their parts with more intensity, inftead of striving for laughs. "I can't imagine Joe E. Brown or James Cagney playing Shakespeare," murmured many a lorgnetted dowager last night as she glanced over her program. Yet these two actors furnish the liveliest of comedy, and would probably have been the brightest stars of the show had they ljved in the roistering days when Shakespeare's comedy was first presented. Certainly their hilarious burlesque and pantomimic drama inject the right note of lusty comedy relief to balance the gossamer charm of the scenes in the magic wood.

Mickey Rooney in his portrayal of Puck has moments when he reaches the top of mischievous and impish effectiveness, but at other, times his odd, gloating chuckles are overdone and become monotonous. The musical accompaniment of the picture was arranged by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, from music by Felix Mendelssohn, and the result is richly harmonious. The music brings distinction and an elfin quality to the fairy scenes, and lends pomp and grandeur to the nuptial celebration of King Theseus and his conquered queen of the Amazons. Few films that have come to Eoston will bring as much solid satisfaction for the amount of dollars and cents paid out at the box office, and certainly no Shakespearean production on stage or screen has compared with this in valiant achievement.

Van, who for 18 years was a member of that grand comedy team or the stage, Van and Schenck, doesn't depend on his well-earned reputation as a top-notch entertainer to get him by; he delivers the goods in fine style, bringing down the house time and again with his witty songs and his lively personality.

To add a nautical flavor to the "Buccaneers" revue, a rough-and-ready, knock-about trio, The Three Sailors, bring a hilarious offering of tumbling, jokes and buffoonery that is greeted with unrestrained laughter and applause. Novel and original, these three performers offer some new wrinkles in knock-about acts. So good is the offering of this celebrated team, vhich has been featured in many big-time musical comedies, that the trio nearly steals the headline rating from Gus Van. Bob Burns, known as the "Arkansas Traveller," and one of radio's featured stars, has some of the charm and manner of delivery of the late Will Rogers. At times even Mr Burns Arkansas speech sounded remarkably like that of the famous cowboy humorist's Oklahoma dialect Mr Burns recounts his experiences with women in general and his mother-in-law in particular, and his droll sense of humor earns him much enthusiastic applause.

Carolyn March, a winsome miss and one of Broadway's singing favorites, has a vivacious personality that does much to make up for stiffness her gestures as she sings her repertoire of popular numbers. The Elida Ballet performs two graceful and charming dance routines. The groups opens the revue with a very effective Pirate routine, and later presents a wholly delightful and extremely beautiful Hawaiian dance cycle that proves one of the high spots of this highly entertaining stage show. Cecil De Mille's stupendous epic of the Middle Ages, "The Crusades," is the featured screen offering. It is not usual for the Metropolitan to show a second-run picture, but this film is so magnificent in its spectacles and so stirring in its theme that exception was made and also this is the first showing of the film in Boston at popular prices.

The heroic age when Kings and peasants marched to Palestine to rescue the Holy Land from the infidel Saracens is the theme of this brilliant screen spectacle, the latest and one of the best of De Mille's work. Henry wilcoxon is cast as the stalwart Richard the Lion Hearted of England. Loretta Young plays the lovely blonde Princess of Navarre, who becomes his wife, and beautiful Katherine De Mille plays a captivat ing French Princess. Ian Keith is cast as the conquering hero of Islam, Saladin.

This up-to-date picture at the Keith Memorial Theatre pleases those patrons who want their dialogue smartly sprinkled with wise-cracks and those other patrons who thrill when somebody gets murdered and everybody else in the cast is suspected. In "Remember Last Night?" the real trouble is that everybody gets "blotto," "plastered" or whatever other word best describes drunkenness among the gayer young element this season. When a man who has every reason for being killed is murdered several persons are called to account for their actions the night before.

Alas! Nobody remembers what happened the night before even if their lives depend upon their testimony. It takes a hypnotic authority, delving into their subconscious minds, to discover what actually happened. And then he is killed just when he is ready to name the murderer. The picture emphasizes the comedy rather than mounting horror or menace. Sometimes the incidents appear much too illogical, but there is practically always a laugh at the end of the scene to make it worthy of inclusion.

Edward Arnold gives a picturesque performance as Danny Harrison, the hard-boiled detective who cooperates wtth Tony and Carlotta Milburn in solving the mystery. Robert Young and Constance Cummings are excellent in their roles of the hard drinking, sophisticated young society couple who are guests at the famous tragic house party which results in the death of Vic Huling. Their work reminds one somewhat of the characterizations of William Powell and Myrna Loy in "The Thin Man." There is that same glittering but superficial artifice, that same underlying honesty.

This primitive corner of Italy, with the peasants busy at their crude looms, or building the eight-foot thick walls of their Stone Age dwellings is enchanting.

The Alberabello fishermen, corralling a school of 200-pond tuna fish in steel nets out at sea, provide an exciting sequence. Pictures of Italy will be shown again at today's matinee.

The veteran traveler is observing the 25th anniversary of his travel talks this year but his travels extend over a far longer period than a quarter of a century. Particularly striking are the views of modern roads, railway stations, model housing projects achieved during the 13 years of Fascist regime.

The famous party in which everybody indulges in their favorite tipple in a series of dashes from one house to another is dazzingly presented. A cannon is fired from a yacht, the police chase the speeding party-hounds down winding Long Island roads. It is one of those glorious binges that is talked about for years. And then Vic Huling is found murdered. Robert Armstring, as the chauffeur, given a sinister portrayal, while Edward Brophy provides the comedy relief as the blundering assistant to the traditional square-toed, derby-hatted detective, Danny Harrison, played by Arnold.

In his role of the malignant Capt Bligh, who was, despite his oppressions, a courageous man, Laughton presents a characterization which is as brilliantly delineated as any in his long career of triumphs. He paints the man with the deft strokes of an artist, and subtle tiny shadings intermingle with the broader, braver splashes of color. Clark Gable, as Fletcher Christian, plays in truer vein, and in more sincere spirit, than he has done in any of his recent stellar roles. As Fletcher Christian, as strong and high-tempered as is his superior officer, he offers a portrayal of which his ad-, mirers must always be proud. Gable has often acted in trashy roles, but he makes ample restitution by his work as Christian.
