| "Navy Blues" Riotous Willian Haines Comedy William Haines, as a hard-boil- d gob, washing out ¢lothes on the leck of a dreadnought, making laces behind the backs of "non- 'oms," or coming out of 2 free-for ul unscathed, between the legs or yruised and beaten colleagues, will 10t surprise his admirers who have long been accustomed to seeins aim do just that sort of thing. However, in "Nay Blues," his drst all-talking vehicle, which will se shown starting Wednesday at 'he 'Regent Theatre, he will prob- tbly surprise a good many people, lor in this picture he not ony gives his usual light-hearted, fun- loving impersonation, in this in- stance of one of Uncle Sam's sail- ors, but he also goes "dramatic," something which he has wanted to lo for some time, Whether because of a fear of ;oing stale in playing the continua) zlown or merely because of a le- titimate desire to show the world 'hat he cam do something other 'han make people laugh, William Haines is given an opportunity in "Navy Blues" to do some acting which will be found to be on a par with any done by screen stars who have built up a reputation on their ability to put over an emo tional scene. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has shown itself to be wise in permitting Haines to combine a hitherto lit tle-suspected histrionic talent with his well-known abilities as a come: iian, because clever as an actor mav be in a certain field, sooner or later his audience will become iurfeited with the same fare and will demand a change of menu, So often the tragedy Mes in the 'act that the star has so long been habituated to the ene type of role that when.the time comes when he is compelled to exhibit a chame- leon-like change of colors he is anable' to produce the goods. For- tunately, a temperament of broad human interest saves William "Iaines from this fate, and in "Navy Blues" he produces con- ypicucus evidence of his ability to "come across' any time the movie wublic is ready for it. In all probability so long as the Metro executives are clairvoyant enough to foresee such a public demand, and intersperse enough of Jaines as an actor with Haines as a comedian, the climax will never be reached. Clarence Brown, creator of Gre- ta Garbo successes, directed 'Navy Blues." Prominent in the sup- porting cast are such capable play- ers as Anita Page, Karl Dane and J. C, Nugent.
