i ! 'Secret "of Actress' !
If there Is anyone who is still
uncertain as to precisely what

understanding of the term by go
ing to-the Capitol theatre to see
Kay Francis in her latest War
ner Bros, picture,' "Secrets of , an
Actress,, which opens there l to

George Brent, an architect, and
Ian Hunter his employer. j
j Loves: Married Man j
Kay likes the producer and Is
grateful to him for backing her
show and, as he lores her. it
seems for a time as it they will
be married. But Kay heart
really belongs to Brent, and ! he
guardedly reciprocates her af
fection, although he is married.
His marriage, however, is more
legal than actual, and his thor
oughly heartless, mercenary wife,
played by Gloria Dickson,) is
about to dlTorce him when she
learns of his lore for Kay.
The wife proceeds to try to ex
ploit the situation for her pecun
iary advantage. Then, unknown
to Kay and - Brent, Hunter gal
lantly withdraws from the field
to clear"the way for the event
ual marriage of Kay to the man
he loves, and .then actually
clears the way by tricking Glo
ria into a solution - which makes
everyone happy except himself.

NEW YORK We're not going
to turn this column into a trav
elogue, but even the most en
thusiastic theatergoer swaps his
opera glasses for a tine case of
lassitude about this time of year.
And the best-cure we've found
for those jaw-dislocating yawns
which leave you with deaf spots
In even the best second acts Is a
drive around New York.
For instance starting with
the early morning there's no
place like Battery park for see
ing the sun come up. River and
bay traffic1 begin picking up
about four o'clock, and the tine
mist thins out about I five. So
If you' can manage to get up that
early in the morning or If
you'll stay awake an hour or so
longer than usual drive down
the west side elevated highway
to Canal street, then down to
the Battery, s at the southernmost
tip of Manhattan Island. Don't
make the mistake of trying to
drive straight down West street,
because you'll bog down in crates
of lettuce, bushels of cucumbers
and barrels of peaches In the
produce markets which face the
Hudson. Turn reft at Canal
street, drive over to Broadway,
then down Broadway to the Bat
tery. The sun comes up in such
a flag-waving blaze of glory that
youH wonder why you hadn't
thought of It before.
Metropolitan Panorama
If you want to see midtown
New York stretched before your
eyes like a stage set, drive over
to Brooklyn on the Brooklyn
bridee. turn left at the postof-
fice, go through to Flatbush ave
nue extension, then back to Man
hattan on, the upper rNorth road
way of tn Aiannaiiau onaso.
Somewhere about balfway across.'
the whole midtown panorama
grows before you into one of the
most beautiful vistas any city In
the world affords. As you drive,
the section's spires widen out.
And in the peculiar clarity that
New York sunshine has in the
early morning, the buildings
stand out with the force and
beauty of Pennell's etchings.
Toward sunset there's one spot
in New York that stands out in
ever-changing beauty. That's
th view of Fifty-ninth street
' (Central Park south) from the
.neai ui.,? v i - " - - " - w
dusk deepens, a million lights
are turned on in the buildings
facing the park from the south.
And such is New York's unpre
dictable pall of smoke and dust,
that the view is never twice the
same, the colors never- remain
unchanged for more than a mom
ent or two. There are more
shifting tones, in the subtlest of
pastel shades, than in a sunset
at sea.
Across the Hudson
But the most thrilling of all
evening drives in New York is
along -he newly-opened section
of the west side express high
way from Westchester into New
York. As you cross the Henrik
Hudson bridge you drop to a few
feet above water level. The dark
and veKety Hudson reflects the
somber shadow of the Palisades
on the Jersey side, silent ferries
and an occasional freighter glide
on as ghostly a river as ever Jo
seph Urban painted for ghostly

Speaking of Urban, there's one
romantic shade of blue he's nev

sky as you look south from a
midtown root on a hot and
breathless summer night. Late in
the daylight saving time day the
grays vanish from a g r a y-blue
sky, leaving It the most delicate
blue of all. In an hour, provid
ing the day has been hot enough,
and the sky clear enough, . it
tuns the full gamut of blues to
an Incredibly romantic, brilliant
cerulean shade which no self
respecting artist would ever put
on a' backdrop. It's too darned
blue. Then suddenly, almost as
in ' the tropics, the blue turns
black, the kind of black a great
lithographer achieves at his best

Indeed. By that time It's far too
late to go; to the theater, even
It you wanted to.

"Snow White"
Returns Here
Lovable Tale of Princess
and Dwarfs Lives in
Color, Hollywood
Movie fans are about to hare
their hopes realized, for some
thing new and enchanting. In
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs,, the first Walt Disney
animated film to be made In full
feature length. In Technicolor
opens today at the Hollywood
theatre.
Meeting "Snow White," the.
dainty, lovable little princess, on
the 'screen Is the same as greet
ing an old friend . one has not
seen for years. Her adventures
begin when the wicked queen.
Jealous, of "Snow White's" bud
ding beauty, first degrades her
to the level of a scullery maid.
Even then the queen'a magic mir
ror informs the sovereign that
"Snow White," though attired in
rags. Is still the fairest in the
land. i
Huntsman's Deed Undone j
The palace huntsman is order-:
ed to take the "princess to the
forest and kill her.; But he per
mits her to escape. She Is be
friended by the pitying birds
and animals and finds refuge
with the Seven Dwarfs in their
woodland home. Thither comes
the wicked-queen in the guise
of a witch. "Snow White eats
a bewitched apple given her by
her rival, and falls into a death
like slumber. i
So lovely ls she that the
dwarfs, instead of burying their
beloved little housekeeper, place
her in a coffin of glass and gold
by which they keep watch. The
tiny chaps have already wreaked
vengeance on the witch, who has
fallen to destruction over a pre
cipice. Then came the handsome
prince, who loved "Snow White":
when she was only a . scullery
maid, awakens her with a kiss,
and the sweethearts leave to
gether for their castle home.
