State—“Law of the West,” with Bob Steele. Last time today. By RALPH MASON Miriam Hopkins at McDonald Jack Oakie and Miriam Hopkins play the leading roles in “Dancers in the Dark,” but just why it should be called by that particular name is somewhat of a puzzle. There are all kinds of dancing, but there is decidedly no dancing done in the dark. Be this as it may, the show still manages to haul down several good laughs from time to time and may be consid ered as good and satisfactory. “Dancers in the Dark” is a mot ley collection of parts from a mu sical comedy, a gangster thriller and a behind-the-scenes tale of a night club. All these elements are artistically woven in to a story that passes through the whole gamut of human emotions to a very satisfactory ending. Oakie, as the jovial orchestra leader, pulls some good stuff most of the time, but his goofy smile sort of ruins his best parts. Mir iam Hopkins, who is the blonde taxi-dancer with some mixed love, plays her role with great capabil ity, but one is always worried for fear that Mr. Hyde (that monster that toyed with her not long ago) Dorothy Peterson and Jackie Cooper, who are coming in “When a Feller Needs a Friend,” which is showing at the McDonald Sun day for two days. will come in and ask her for a dance. William Collier Jr. plays a semi important part as one of the men Miss Hopkins falls for. His good looks carry him along but his act ing is not extra. Eugene Pallette, that voluminous play-boy of the screen, plays in his usual line. This time he has an adorable platinum blonde after him, but he eludes her successfully, much to his credit. Much of the success of this pic ture is due to the direction which saves the multiplicity of action from hopelessly confusing the plot. “Disorderly Conduct,” with Sally Fillers and Spencer Tracy, comes today only at the McDonald. This picture teems with action and ex citement, dealing with the adven tures and romance in a police mail’s life. Jackie Cooper, that lovable little star of the screen, is appearing with Charles “Chick” Sale in “When a Feller Needs a Friend,” at the McDonald Sunday for two days. * * * Fairbanks at Colonial Douglas Fairbanks has laid aside his athletic roles w'here he clowns around in historic costumes and appears tricked out in a white shirt and collar in “Reaching for the Moon,” which is showing at the Colonial for the last time to day. Bebe Daniels, Jack Mulhall and Edward Everett Horton are the supporting members of the cast which makes this a fast moving, dynamic action film with lots of comedy a la Horton style. “City Lights,” starring Charlie Chaplin, is coming Sunday for two days. Bob Steele at State “Law of the West,” starring Bob Steele, is showing at the State for the last time today. “Law of the West” is playing first run in Eu gene. Joyce Compton and Beryle Mer cer are starred in “Lena Rivers,” which is coming Sunday for a two day run. O’Brien at Rex George O'Brien is the featured player in “Rainbow Trail,” which is showing currently at the Rex for the last time today. “Lady with a Past,” featuring Constance Bennett, is the attraction coming Sunday for two days. » * « Colonial Preview Tonight Theatregoers will be treated to another “Owl Matinee" at the Co lonial tonight, when Charlie Chap lin in “City Lights” will be shown at a special preview at 10:45. Persons coming at 9 or after may stay and see both shows, while those who wish to come for the special preview will be admit ted to the theatre after 10 o’clock at a low admission rate.
