BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1932 'Face the Music' Has Its Broadway Premiere --'Shanghai Express' Is Screened 24 'FIREMAN, SAVE MY CHILD' ED WYNN Norman Foster Wins Role The Theaters The Screen By ARTHUR POLLOCK -By MARTIN DICKSTEIN 'Shanghai an Effective Melodrama of Mod 'Face the a Satirical Musical Comedy That Has Everything, Opens Joyously at the ern China Starring Marlene Dietrich, Arrives at the Rialto Theater New Amsterdam Theater in Joan Blondell Talkie The leading masculine role In "Miss Plnkerton of Scotland Yard," In which Joan Blondell will bo starred by Warner Brothers, is to be played by Norman Foster. Hardle Albright, who had previously been assigned to this part, will instead play a prominent role In George Arliss' next starring picture, "A Successful Calamity," based on the stage play by Clare Kummer. "Miss Plnkerton of Scotland Yard" is an adaptation of Mary Roberta Rlnehart's newest mystery thriller. Mrs. Rlnehart Is now in Hollywood and will see the picture go Into production in the near future.

Others In the cast, besides Joan Blondell and Norman Foster, are Mae Madison, Mary Doran, Holmes Herbert, C. Henry Gordon, Elizabeth Patter son and Blanche Jarrett at Fox Aottitit- Iwl tannt on1 rma Before a brilliant audience, which Included Chinese Consul General Henry Chang and his party, Marlene Dietrich's newest starring; vehicle, "Shanghai Express," was revealed at the Rialto Theater last night. It Is Miss Dietrich'i fourth (or is it her fifth?) fling at the talkies, and, In the humble opinion of this observer, it is her best. Until last night "Morocco" probably stood, highest on her list of sound-track efforts, but "Shanghai Express" is a more magnificent achievement than even "Morocco." The new picture at the Rialto, like all Miss Dietrich! previous Hollywood-made productions, was dlrcJted by that ingenious megaphonist, Sam Harris Is making American musical comedy into the best musical comedy in the world. That seems an exaggerated statement, but where in the world can you see anything so line as "Of Thee I Sing" and Tact the Mr.

Harris lodged the former In the Music Box some weeks ago and the latter he brought to the New Amsterdam last night. The best in the world? Well, he Is turning this kind of amusement into something keenly satirical and keeping it at the same time beautiful, tuneful, agile, graceful, vigorous. The satire they have in Europe, but the beauty they catch less often and the fine all-round talent Is seldom to be seen. "Pace the Music" is uproariously funny. And, while it makes you laugh, it is almost as useful as Seabury.

The plot concerns a group of policemen, led by Martin Van Buren Meshbesher, who put their little Josef Von Sternberg- And aiahi Von Sternberg Is entitled to shave with his beautiful star the prin tin Doxes togetner to produce a musical show, solely for the purpose of radio's singing favorites, starts an engagement tomorrow at the Fox.

Irving Berlin has written the music, fine, unpretentious, tuneful music that one can whistle and respect, and Moss Hart, co-author with George S. Kaufman of "Once in a Lifetime," wrote the book. Mr. Kaiifman had a hand in it, too, staging the show, while Hassard Short took charge of the whole production, which means that he is responsible for the novelty and beauty of the numbers and the general gorgeousness of the thing as a whole.

Johnson and the contributory characteriiations by Lawrence Grant, Louise Closser Hale, Qustav von Seyffertits, Emlle Chautard and Anna May Wong are as nearly perfect as they can be. But, most of all, you will be impressed by the magnificent, effortless performance of the breathtak-ingiy beautiful Miss Dietrich, and by the resourceful direction of Mr. Von Sternberg. They make it easy to report that "Shanghai Express" is one of the most satisfying pictures to come this way in months.
