Fields to pose "for pictures with baby, now Lonnie, LeRoy a la the Chaplin-Coogan photographs when the grown-up Coogan held the tiny Chaplin in his arms remember? But Fields refused. Said he didn't like LeRoy when he was a. baby and saw no reason to get chummy with him now. Fie, Mr. Fields! George Raft will not sign toTnake another picture unless a part is written in for his bodyguard, Mack Grey.

George says, "Mack has learned everything about acting from me, and now the guy can stand on his own feet." I wonder. When Melvyn. Douglas was asked, "What was it like to kiss Greta Gajbo?" he replied "Please let me remain a gentleman even if I am an actor!" By the way, don't forget to see "Ninotchka." It's the best yet for Garbo, Douglas, and Ernst Lubitsch. i It was rather funny at a recent premiere to hear Hedy Lemarr tell husband Gene Markey how to get the best face angle for the cameraman who was snapping her. Hedy tells me that she considers Gene the best-dressed man in Hollywood, and "he is so gentle and sophisticated." Fatsy Barton Joe Morn Judg Black Rosalie Fcx.

Adapted from a successful Rodgers and Hart musical show, the picture gives many of the most talented youngsters in the Hollywood films their opportunity to shine almost as brilliantly as the stars themselves. Douglas McPhail, for instance, stands out as a personable young man who can sing or act with equal facility.

He may succeed Nelson Eddy, some day, in the affections of the public. And June Preisser. who has had a vaudeville career of tome seasons, looks all of 14 years old in her role of a former movie baby. But when the film is finished, it is still the Rooney-Garland combination which has put the picture over as one of the most entertaining and laughable of the year. If the State and Orpheum Theatres don't have troubles during the engagement with stay-overs, who want to see the picture two or three times and thus keep others from getting in, it will be a great surprise, to this reviewer.

The plot, such as it is, concerns the attempts of a group of young persons, sons and daughters of ex-vaudeville stars, who put on their own show to pay off the mortgages and the grocery bills that their out- AMUSEMENTS Jam.

No. Several researches have shown that the longer people know each other and the more intimately they are acquainted with each other's life, habits and background before marriage, the more likely they are to make a happy go of it-People who have known each other for many years and then gradually found they love each other are the better bet Answer to Question No. 2 2.

No. The reader may be surprised at this opinion of mine, but 1 believe, first, that it is' impossible to run a government like a business and. second, undesirable if we could considering human nature to be what it is.

Although 6he no longer will be required to turn out four pictures a year, at least two other pictures, "All This and Heaven Too" and "No Time for Comedy," already are be ing lined up for her. of-work parents can not meet. The chiWren are scheduled for the workhouse by an officious social worker. They end on Broadway in a star hit, called "Babes in Arms," with Mickey and the rest of the cast lustily singing a pattiotic number, called "God's Country," which is one of the new compositions in the show. Two of the original "Babes in Arms" songs the romantic "Where or When" and the arching, spirited "Babes in Armor" have been most ingeniously interpolated in the action.

The "Babes in Armor" number is presented in a "Vagabond King" manner, with the kids of the cast concluding with a wild dance around a gigantic bonfire. Mickey and Judy work like Trojans to make the picture entertaining, and none of their efforts to waste. One of the funniest and most impish of the numbers gives Mickey the chance to impersonate President Roosevelt at a fireside chat, while Judy, as Eleanor Roosevelt, does a musical caricature of "My Day." Mickey does other impersonations Lionel Barrymore, Eddie Leonard and Clark Gable being taken off good humoredly by the youthful star. An anuni'illT cronrl niimbpr sees 4111 topi.vuiv Betty Jaynes and Judy Garland "swinging" opera ana making "swing" into concert tempo. "Those High Gray Walls" is the associate picture with Walter Connolly in the role of a ki idly doctor who has become a convict as the result of helping an unfortunate youth.

Mr. Connolly plays the leading role with warmth and sympathy, and gives an understanding picture of a man who may be in jail, but is much finer and -greater that those who sent him there. Stevens appears as a prison doctor who has no faith in human nature or decency, but is eventually persuaded to the kindly philosophy of Dr. MacAuley. METROPOLITAN "Jamaica Inn" "Everything's on Ice" "Jamaica Inn," by Sidney Gilliat and Joan Harrison.

Adapted from novel by Daphne DuMaurier. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Mayflower film. The cast: Sir Humphrey Pengallon Charles Laushton Mary Maureen Hara Jpss Merlyn Leslie Banks Harry the Peddler Emlyn Williams Jem Trehearne Robert Newton Patience Marie Ney Salvation Watkins Wyle Watson Sea Lawyer Morland Graham Dandy Edwin Greenwood Thomas Mervyn Johns The Boy Stephen Haggard Butler Horace Hodges Groom Hay Petrie Agent Frederick Pipfer "Jamaica Inn" is a succession of horrors that ought to keep timid eirls ud half the night with the jit ters, should they, attend the evening performances at the Metropolitan Theatre and then walk home on a dimly lighted street. Alfred Hitchcock, English master of mystery, directed the picture, although Charles Laugh ton seems to have taken over the reins to some extent.

At least Mr. Laughton, consummate stealer of scenes, practically dominates the story from the minute he makes his entrance. "Jamaica Inn" was probably the best mystery novel to come out of England or anywhere else last year. It has horror, suspense, and mad action. In some ways the picture doesn't live up to the book for creating a mood of blind terror.

But there's plenty of melodrama of the riproaring sort and Mr. Laughton commits suicide at the end of the story with all tne bombastic flair of a first-class showman. Maureen O'Hara makes her American debut in the film, and a most attractive and talented girl she is. Mr. Laughton really picked out a winner when he selected the Irish actress as his protegee.

She brings something valuable to the screen with her naturalness, her beauty and her emotional restraint in even the most blood and thunder moments. "Jamaica Inn" is the story of a girl who foes to a lonely Cornish inn presided over by her aunt and the aunt's rough, cruel husband. The first night at the inn, Mary Yellen undergoes a series of adventures that would freeze the blood of a strong man. She rescues a man from hanging, flees with him to the wild seashore, and learns that her uncle heads a band of land pirates who lure ships to destruction and murder every survivor. But she does not know that the secret leader of this pirate group is the rich squire of the community.

Sir Humphrey Pen-gallon. How Mary bravely prevents a wreck and is kidnaped by the insane Sir Humphrey is told with mounting drama. The man she rescued, who turns out to be a Coast Guard officer, rescues Mary in a last minute climax. There are some fine, wicked men in "Jamaica Inn," with the eminent Emlyn Williams winning the award for villainy as Harry the Pedlar. Leslie Banks as the leering, bullying Joss Merlyn gets second place, while Marie Ney is excellent in the role of the frightened, harried, unhappy Aunt Patience.

"Jamaica Inn" is an engrossing mystery of other days which will serve to make theatre patrons forget the troubles of 1939. "Everything's On Ice," associate picture, is a show designed to exhibit the skating talent of young Irene Dare. Roscoe Karns, as the child's uncle, takes her to Florida in the hope of making money. But it's Irene who recoups the family fortunes, not the uncle. The skating sequences are much more Important than and there is some excellent comedy on the part of Edgar Kennedy.

RKO BOSTON THEATRE Vaudeville Varieties "When Tomorrow Comes" There are five acts of vaudeville on this week's bill at the RKO Boston and they add up to exactly five reasons for taking In the show. Also there is an unusually good feature film, the memorable "When Tomorrow Comes," which had its Boston first run just recently. But to get back to the vaudeville, seldom is a bill so aptly balanced as it is in this program, which provides song, dance, comedy, novelty and always popular routines mixed in share of their joint menage. Paul Muni's voice has been rerecorded for his Britisher chore in "We Are Not Alone." It was too crisp the way Paul had it the re-recording softens and slows it up. The strangest accident of the week in attempting to kiss Pris-cilla Lane, Jeffrey Lynn sprained his ankle.

Don't ask me how. But, for proof, Mr. Lynn has his ankle tied up. Merle Oberon brings news from New York that Norma Shearer is still far from well and will have to rest a bit before attempting another picture. Darryl Zanuck has received so many threats anent the filming of "Grapes of Wrath," he is taking no chance of mishaps on the set, and the production will be a closed one for press as well as visitors.

Which reminds me that Gregory Ratoff has also ordered closed doors while completing "First Kiss." But not for reasons of sabotage. His reason "Linda Darnell must be taught to act in the Ratofl When Zasu Pitts recently substituted for a Marlene Dietrich broadcast, she knew it would be hopeless to try to imitate Marlene's glamor, so did the next best thing bought a new hat Boiling's does are really different. They mix up their routines with the expert timing of veteran troupers and the two girls brighten the act with eye-filling appeal and dainty dancing. But it remains for the dog with the educated tail to bring dowu the house For good measure the bill also includes the exquisite and rhythmic dancing of the "Dance Sophisticates" and the lively, acrobatic dancers, Dick, Don and -Dinah, billed as "Serving Smiles," a trio who live up to their billing to the letter. The -film "When Tomorrow Comes" again presents Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer as a starring team.

mis iime witn last year nurricane as the background for an excellent love story. Shorts and news reels conclude the bill. AMUSEMENTS 1 NOW! Suhmhmi The Melanie role in "Gone With The Wind" has been trimmed. -It was so eood it almost stole the whole show, but there is still enough left to prove Olivia de Havilland's claim for better picture material. Adolphe Menjou has put his house on the market with an asking price of $50,000.

To prospective buyers the place has five fireplaces, and five bathrooms which makes a rate of $5000 per. Greer Garson receives $1000 weekly, but she is still paying the enormous bills incurred when she was sick last year. The start on Greer's "Susan and God" has been delayed somewhat to straighten out the religious angle involved. According to the Hays office, all religious beliefs including Buchmanism must be treated with respect on the screen. Constance Bennett is taking two maids and a new wardrobe with her on her personal appearance tor.

Among the three of them, they ought to do pretty well. Utterly untrue and unfair, that fan magazine article implying that Jeanette MacDonald was supporting husband Gene Raymond. Gene is a thrifty soul, saved his money when he was making it, and is able to pay his and Harry Peterson, two old time showmen who know all the tricks. The patter they dish out is lively, fresh and truly funny something rare these days, when comics are content to exploit gags heard so repeatedly over the radio. In addition the diminutive member of the team is a talented dancer and the whole act is carried off with zip and bang.

Sharing headline honors is the sensational Negro singer, Ada Brown, who won such fame in the original "Blackbirds." Miss Brown not only has an excellent and moving voice but she has an artist's genius for evolving a program that is as pleasing as it is diversified. To this add a really novel animal act, the Clemens Boiling Company of dancers and dogs, and you've already had your money's worth.
