THE SCREEN New Beau Geste' Bows At the N. Y. Paramount Gary Cooper in Title Role; Brian Donlevy Is Villain By HERBERT COIIN It is 13 years, almost to the day, since "Beau Geste" was first brought to the scipen. Ronald Colman was Its original star and he probably had more to do as the horo than does Gary Cooper, the current Beau at the N. Y.

Paramount Theater. But even after 13 years, Sir Percival Wren's blood-and-thunder adventure and mystery-romanc is still an iron-clad thriller that can be safely guaranteed to raise normal blood pressure no Jess than ten points.

He caught the attention in the first measures of the opening Allegro and sustained it in the Andante, even though the "con moto" marking was apparently disregarded. It was in the Rondo that there appeared a curious inflexibility in this performance, not so much in digital fluency as in interpretative freedom, while the tone grew percussively thin. But there was spirit, feeling and freshness to his playing and it won him extended annlause. -Blur Coolc MOTION PICTURES -Martin Spellman David Holt Ann Glllls Dlsby at 12 Augustus at 12-Isobel at 10 'Wizard of Oz' Set For Capitol Aug. 17 M-G-M's technicolor production STARTS "The Wizard of Oz," will have its New York premiere Aug.

It also has the qualities of an unusually good gangster thriller with a pleasant little romance to boot. "They All Come Out" is intelligent and exciting entertainment. It does w-ell what William K. Howard's "Back Door to Heaven" tried to do, with considerably less success, earlier this year it dramatizes the difference between the fellow who is driven into crime because society gives him no other way to exist, and the fellow who is a criminal for crime's sake. Joe Cameron and Kitty became criminals because they couldn't earn a living any other way.

Reno Madigan was a crook at heart. He prided himself that he was smart and the brains of his gang. It was different with Joe and Kitty. Joe had a crippled hand and couldn't do heavy work. He couldn't hold a job long enough to have an operation.

Kitty came from the other side of the tracks and tried to live decently took up the baton this week. He is in films, will make rxr- can make no historical comparisons. But as a modern screen adventure, the Paramount's "Beau Geste" has seen no peer this year not even from the master thrill-maker, Cecil B. De Mille. The Cooper fans, though, may be disappointed, for Gary is an un-romantic hero while Ray Milland captures the heart of the red-headed Brooklyn starlet, Susan Hayward.

In fact Gary, during most of his term with the Foreign Legion, appears to be a jewel thief. At one spot even his most devout admirers might abandon him temporarily. And the Cooper following might also be disappointed that Beau Geste is not a more important figure throughout all of this story that is named for him. That, we feel sure, can be blamed on Sir Percival, who didn't have Gary ia mind when he wrote this tale. So far as we could recall yesterday, Screenwriter Robert Carson didn't tamper with the details in order to build up a stanig role.

It is a straightforward Job of storytelling, probably just as Sir Percival would have wanted it. an interesting conductor to ioiiow i sonal appearances in an act now; New Andy Hardy Film At Loew's Met. Today "Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever" starts a week's engagement today at Loew's Metropolitan Theater. Like its predecessor, "Love Finds Andy Hardy," "Spring Fever" has Mickey (Andy Hardy) Rooney in love again. This time It's with his high school dramatic teacher, played by Helen Gilbert.

Lewis Stone continues as the Judge, Fay Holden as sympathetic Mother Hardy, Cecelia Parker as Sister Marian, and Sara Haden as the knowing Aunt Milly. Ann Rutherford is, of course, still Andy's true love in the role of Polly Benedict. Another new addition to the clan is Terry Kilburn, who was seen in "Goodbye Mr. Chips."

It has humor, mystery and thrills galore. We couldn't ask for more, but we're not a rabid Cooper fan.

Similarly, Ray Milland and Robert Preston are nearly on an equal plane with the titular hero, portraying Beau's two brothers as playful kids grown-up good natured, light-hearted and devoted.
