M2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1936 More New Films Make Broadway Debuts The Spring Season in the Theater 12 Evalyn Knapp Joseph Downing and Marjorie Main Eastman School Summer Plans The Screen Picture Parade JBy WINSTON BURDETT- iBj MARTIN 'Unguarded With Franchot Tone and j- Loretta Young, Is Shown at the Capitol Gladys Swarthout in 'Give Us This Night' The Ingenious comedy-drama at the Capitol Illustrates how a chain ot circumstantial evidence may Involve a guiltless man In a seemingly air-tight charge ot murder. The links in the circumstantial chain, the tilm suggests, are not always as strong as they appear, for many a man has spent Innocent but unguarded hours of which he could not possibly give a plausible account. In developing this Idea the script writers have worked up a complicated and improbable but highly Ingenious situation, and though their story goes In too freely for coincidence to be wholly credible, It is nevertheless adroit and entertaining. There are times when Paramount Studio Winds Up Productions for Summer Release DeMille Prepares for 'This Breed of Man' News of Films and Players Paramount is pointing to a new mark In movie production efficiency with its announcement that 75 percent of the company's fourth quarter releases (pictures to be shown during May, June and July) are now before the cameras. t' W.

DeMMe't Next The next (and 62d) feature motion picture to be produced and directed by Cecil B.

DeMille will be titled "This Breed of Man." The decision terminates many weeks of discussion by the DeMille staff, during which more than 100 possible titles were discussed. It was originally intended to call the film "Buffalo BUI," but the salty character of Wild BUI Hickok gained precedence over the Colonel Cody character In the writing. As the script now stands, Wild BUI will be the chief character and will probably be played by Gary Cooper. Production Is expected to begin about the middle of June.

This is a film In which all the cards are stacked, but excellently played. The writers were so taken with their idea that they have illustrated It twice, first In the person of a gentleman accused of pushing his wife off the Dover cliffs, and again in the Instance of this gentleman's prosecutor, who is charged with the murder of his former mistress. It appears that Mr. Tone was not altogther guarded In his youth, and that he left behind him, among other things, numerous incriminating letters to one Diana Roggers.

His wife, played by Loretta Young, suspects nothing of all this until she Is accosted one evening at the ball by a soft-spoken but deadly villain, Mr. Henry Daniell, who pries her with the art of blackmail. Miss Young must either give him 2,000 pounds or risk that her husband's promising career be shattered by Mr. Danlell's threatened revelations. After a little thought, Miss Young does what any dutiful young wife would do, and follows her blackmailer's instructions to throw the money In a bag over the Dover cliffs.

It so happens that a woman falls off the cliffs the same day, and not long afterward Diana Roggers is found strangled in her apartment. The subsequent narrative acquires no little dramatic irony from the fact that while Mr. Tone is prosecuting a man for murder, he himself becomes embroiled in a similar charge. In both cases the prosecutors accept their evidence a little too credul- that his case against the hero Is the most air-tight in his experience at Scotland Yard, you will realize that he is simply playing into the hands of the writers. Mr.

Tone gives an urbane and affable performance as the young attorney, while Miss Young, who hasn't been around, as far as I recall, since "The Crusades," does decorative service as his wife. I think, however, that some of the domestic scenes illustrating the of their nuptial bliss might easily have been omitted. Roland Young's clipped manner and dry wit are of great assistance as usual. There are good performances by Mr. Stone, Dudley Digges and E.

E. Clive, and for good measure there are a couple of those highly formal English trial scenes. But you are apt to remember most distinctly the contribution of Mr. Daniell, who appeared In last season's stage production of "Kind Lady." His suave and quietly poisonous villain ranks with the finest. At the Roxy "Laughing Irish Eyes." a Republic picture directed by JoseDh Santley: screen Dlay by Olive Cooper, Ben Ryan and Stanley Rauh; from the original story by Sidney Sutherland and Wallace Sullivan: presented at the Roxy Theater with Phil Regan, Walter C.

Kelly. Evalyn Knapp, Hay Walker and Mary Gordon. "Laughing Irish Eyes," the latest picture to come to the Roxy. is more than a mere curtain raiser to Major Bowes' amateurs. It has a good deal more to recommend it than the average film.

First and foremost it boasts the talents of Phil Regan, which are two: astonishing good looks and an extraordinarily pleasing tenor voice. I was going to add an Irish accent, but all the members of this cast do so well by the rich vowels of Old Erin that there is no reason to single out Mr. Regan. First honors for accent and 100 percent Irish charm go to Walter Kelly, seen In the light of Mr. Regan's boxing promoter and the father of his blond inspiration, Evalyn Knapp.

If you are a bit weary of sophistication and musical comedy rhythms I recommend your hearing Phil Regan sing "Mavour-neen" and "Londonderry Air." Chances are you will become as starry eyed as Miss Knapp, who in her youthful career on Broadway never saw or heard anything as good as Mr. Regan. The story concerns a boxing promoter (Walter Kelly) who wishes to get a real Irish fighter for his Irish public in New York. The Sbiclskis and Cohans whom he promotes under the nom de guerre of O'Reilly and O'Flaherty seem to lack the verve which came naturally to such sons of Erin as Jack Sharkey and John L. Sullivan.

So he departs for Ireland to find a real fighter, staking his share of the 'msiness he divides with two grass partners on a bet that he will return with a man who will a championship contender ln-i ide of six months. Arrived in Erin, he and his daughter's fortunes become entangled those of Phil Regan, a singing ilacksmith who is passed off on Ir. Kelly as a champion fighter, 'Tiger O'Keefe." The sports world nf America welcomes the "Singing "iger." Miss Knapp, aware of the ''eception, is torn between her love or her father and her love of the crooner masquerading in tiger's i lothlng. She is put to a deal of i lotting in order to save the day both, and nearly precipitates a disaster with a disgruntled tiger sailing for Ireland on the eve of the great battle on which the promoter has staked his all. But nt the eleventh hour he returns to fight seven exciting rounds whose outcome I leave you to guess.

WILLIAM OILMORK I drama than an airy conversation "Unguarded Hour" A Metro-Ooldwrn-Mayer picture, directed by Sam Wood; pased on a story by LadtslM Podor; presented at the Capitol Theater with the following cast: Lady Helen Dearden Loretta Young Sir Alan Dearden Franchot Tone General Lawrence Lewta Stone Bunny Roland Young Lady Hathaway Jessie Ralph Metlord Dudley Digges Hugh Lewis Henry Daniell Henderson Robert Grieg Orainger Wallace Clark Lord Hathaway E. E. Clive Defense Counsel John Buckler Dianna Roggers Aileen Prlngle At Netc York Paramount "GIVE US THIS NIOHT." a Paramount Picture, directed by Alexander Hall, with a cast Including Gladys Swarthout, Jan Klepura. Philip Merivale and Allen Mowbray. Music and lyrics by Erich W.

Korn-gold and Oscar Hammerstein Jr. Hollywood Is apparently still under a compulsion, at moments, to appeal to the lowest common denominator of Its swarming audience. You may witness this compulsion at the Paramount, where a musical film with the pointless title of "Give Us This Night" Is currently displayed. Stemming from one of the innumerable cut-and-dried plots that have been the staple of the motion picture industry for many a long year, it has but two appreciable afts: One, the indubitable loveliness and charm of Gladys Swarthout and her rich dramatic soprano, and, two, an amusing caricature contributed by Alan Mowbray as a ham operatic tenor. Miss Swarthout, as the unknown prima donna appearing in an unknown opera by an unknown Italian composer (Philip Merivale, making his first appearance In the movies), lifts the film from the dead level to which the gymnastic histrionics and violent song of Jan Kiepura have sunk It.

She wears severa. lovely gowns; she sings with forcefulness and lack of affectation, and though she is no great shakes as an actress, she has managed to make her role convincing through directness and sincerity. Mr. Kiepura, who bursts Into song continuously, pitches his performance to an Incredible finale crescendo, wherein he effectively drowns out both Miss Swarthout and the orchestra; Mr. Merivale offers a minor role that is, at best, innocuous; Mr.

Mowbray provides the few moments of comic relief. It is all very sad and totally unaffecting; the unknown prima donna falls in love with the unknown tenor; the unknown composer gallantly disregards his breaking heart when he sees how happy Miss Swarthout is made by her choice of Jan Kiepura; the operatic premier is almost ruined by the ham tenor of Mr. Mowbray, when Herr Kiepura ar rives by fast Buggatl to leap from the wings and save the careers of himself. Miss Swarthout and Mr. Merivale.

by an unprecedentedly violent piece of operatic acting. The lengthy and frequently tedious film is somewhat alleviated by a sustaining bill of jazz, Betty Boop and a young boy who does amazing things with a harmoniac; in all, an effecelve commentary on the feature. T.S. C. Lee Garmes Here to Work On Ilecht-MacArlhur Film Lee Garmes, who will be associate director with Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur on their next production for Paramount, "The Monster," murder mystery, arrived in New York yesterday on the steamship Washington from London.

Garmes was accompanied by his wife, Ruth Hall, former screen actress, and a daughter, Pamela Ann, born in London five weeks ago. Garmes' most recent work in this country was as associate director with Hecht and MacArthur on the Noel Coward film, "The Scoundrel," after completion of which Garmes went to London where for eight months he has been engaged In a directorial capacity with Alexander Korda. Hecht and Ma-Arthur now are assembling a cast for "The Monster" and expect to begin camera work on this picture in about two weeks. Warners Sign Karloff Warner Bros, announce the signing of Boris Karloff for a series of pictures as a result of the success of "The Walking Dead," recently released. A number of dramatic stories are now under consideration for Karloff, but the name of the first film to be made by him under the new contract will not be announced until the actor returns from England In about a month.

It is understood that Mr.

Shaw himself would very likely supervise the production. It Is to be recalled that before coming to New York Miss Hiller had played In "Love on the Dole" in London all of the last year Apparently Mr. Shaw became Interested in Miss Hiller as a possible St. Joan when he saw her in this drama in London last year.
