'Gabriel Over The White House' Is Showing Now A Hevlew Sensational, yesl but certainly not fantastic is "Oabrlel Over the White House" which opened yestorday at the Liberty theatre for a three-day run. It ls one of those pictures that every one ought to see, and yet it Is not a moralizing, saccharin sentimental tolt of bosh It pictures the possi bilities of a president who stands on his own feet regardless of party. It is said that the scenario was written predicting the outcome of the Roose veltlan administration and, it may well bo true, since the army of con struction proposed In the picture nas become a reality In the citizen's con servation corps. His solution of the unemployment problem Is only one of the predictions that are coming true today, Of course, there ls a love story with Pranchot Tone, the president's secre tary, and Karen Morloy, the woman In the White House, but It ls en tirely subjugated to the activities of President Jud Hammond, played by Walter Huston, and has Co part In Hammond's presidential activities. The picture Is not only Interesting but It is exciting, . wth national "clean-up", taking the audience to the very heart of Washington, D. C.
