THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Pent-up Africa is uncaged this week at Loew's Orpheum when Cab and the boys set their audiences rocking to the tortured strains of Minnie the Moacher and Zazz Zoo Zazz. Any ardent devotee will be completely satisfied by the Calloway contortions and incoherent mouthings, while favorable attention will be directed toward Ada Ward and her condition of Without That Certain Thing.

The uncanny colored sense of rhythm is given full play in producing Moonglow, Dinah, Margie, and Sylvin, the first being especially pleasing. The Five Percolators provide a certain amount of entertainment by their verbal antics and assorted tap dancing.

Preceding Cab on the stage show are Stuart and Ward, who would constitute the main attraction on any ordinary program. The humor of their drunken acrobatics is overshadowed by appearance of the Cotton Club's best.

The movie, "In Love with Life", drips with sentiment, and includes an all-star cast of non-entities. An adamant, self-centered grandfather, his estranged daughter and her son, and a harmless professor are all brought together at the end to form one big, happy family. There is an excellent short of hunting coyotes by airplane. A whimateal cartoon, "Robin Hood" and a Thelma Todd comedy complete a bill that will well repay a few hours snatched from the last-minute cram.
