Music Soothes Tiny German Refugees
st, 1939,
The spirits of these tiny waifs from Germany were buoyed tempo-
rarily when one of their numbers struck up a tune on her violin as 150
refugee children arrived at the Liverpool, London, station. Homes had
been found for the children previous to their arrival, and excitement kept
CROSBY RINGS GONG IN
GRAND ATTRACTION ON
FRIDAY, SATURDAY
The “Dead End” Kids re somewhat
though still rough and agressive, and
Ann Sheridan has her first really sym-
pathetic part since being made a star
—those are the main items of interest
about the new Warner Bros. picture,
“The Angels Wash Their Faces, which
comes to the Grand Theatre, Patton on
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week.
eBsides the “Dead End” sextette and
the screen’s oomph girl, who are co-
starred, the cast of the new Warner
production includes many other fine
performers, both juvenile and adult.
Among the former are Frankie Thom-
as, Bonita Granville and Jack Searl,
while among the adult players are
Ronald Regan, Henry O'Neill, Eduardo
Cianelli, and Berton Churchill.
Based on an idea by Jonathan Finn,
the scren play, written the screen play,
written by Michael Fessler, Niven Bus-
ch and Robert Buckner, places the
Dead Enders in a tenament environ-
ment but depicts them as thoroughly
law-abiding youngsters. In fact, they
co-operate so smartly with the author-
ities that they are chiefly responsible
for bringing to justice a sinister gang
of adult criminals.
It is not, however, an abstract inter-
est in law and order that motivates
the kids. One of their number has
them from becoming completely despondent.
perished in a tenament fire set by
embers of the gang, and further-
more the gangsters have succeeded in
pinning the guilt for this arson and
murder on a member of their club
With the cooperation of Reagan,
who is a district attorney’s investiga-
tor, and is in love with Ann who
plays the sister of the wrongfully ac-
cused boy, the kids cleverly take ad
vantage of Boys’ Week to accomplish
their ends. Their leader, Billy Halop,
is elected mayor for Boys week, and
although he has no real authority,
during the absence of the mayor and
other city officials over the week end
the boys usurp enough authority to
make their plan succeed.
The efforts of the actors and script
writers were skillfully welded ints an
entertaining whole by the director,
Ray Enright, who was happy at the
opportunity to demonstrate that he
could direct exciting and melodrama-
tic stuf fas well as comedy, in which
field he has long been supreme.

The story of the picture, which in-!

Louise Campbell to marry him. She
Linally consents. They are happy, but

great tneatrical manager, persuades

As the picture approaches a climax,
Bing tries to climb to the top of thei
entertainment world again, with Miss |
