Fred Warning and his mad, merrymaking Pennsylvanians top the bill at the Metropolitan Theatre this week with an hour of swing punctuated by the informal capers of the orchestra. On the screen Mae West plays the rather weak part of a confidence girl with an honest heart in "Every Day's A Holiday."

On the stage Mr. Warning presents several pretty girls with various talents as singers, dancers, and even a drum major. The last, a Miss Betty Atkinson, recently twirled the baton for the University of Southern California. While her dancing tnd twirling are not extraordinary, her face and figure are a far cry and a welcome relief from "Harvard coods."

The personnel of the band includes Poley McClintock, the frog voice drummer, and the MacFarland twins, saxaphonists and hecklers while Scotty Bates provides additional comedy.

The picture is not of the best, but it does sustain interest, and Charles Butterworth and Charles Winniger should get top honors for the many laughs they provide in this drama of New York at the turn of the century. Both dialogue and action are definitely clean, perhaps suspiciously so. Miss West's fans will find, however, that she wears the gowns of the era to perfection, although they may not like the change from blonde to brunette.

Hollywoods swing to swing is again evidenced here, for Louis Armstrong is hitting high C and higher in a better government crusade backed by Peaches O'Day (Miss West), with Edmund Lowe as the mayoral candidate George Rector appears in films for the first time as host in his own famous restaurant.
