The story is unusual and the perfect rendition of speech, song and music together with the fact that all is colors, makes it absolutely en- thralling. It is at the Coliseum for ‘the last two showings tonight. It all happens in a small Jer- sey town, where the prospective Broadway musical show is doing a hideaway. The play has an “an- gel,” who has been furnishing the money because he wishes to win favor with Sally O'Neill who acts as check girl. Her father, played by Thomas Jefferson, affectionately known as “Dad” has taken all his savings out of the local hank to save the play from disaster. The “angel” is unsuccessful in his ef- forts to “make” Sally, because she is ardently loved by Jimmy, the head usher, who believes that she instead of Nita, the dancer. After some ex- citing moments in which heads are not handled any too gently and the box office is robbed, Nita finds how the land lies and. aided by a the angel, makes him come across with the missing cash, and an- houncing herself unable to go on with her act, lets the pretty Sally take her place. el rMOORE BROTHERS ARE | | AT PALACE TONIGHT | s n For the first time in nearly a quarter century of screen work, three brothers, each of whom has achieved success as an individual, are brought together in one picture —Radio Pictures’ all-talking hit, “Side Street.” The trio is made up of the brothers Moore—Tom, Owen and Matt—and they are playing in “brother” roles on the screen at the Palace tonight. Critics wherever “Side Street” has been heard and seen are unanimous in the opinion that no better choice could have been made to fill the three featured roles—Tom as a conscientious Manhattan traffic cop, Matt as the police surgeen, and Owen as the king of the racketeers, with Owen keeping his means of livelihood secret from his family.

The little eccentric d'\ncmg sing- ing comedienne — it was shejwhc actually originated the Varsity Drag of “Good News” fame—wen! to work in a Chicago pattern fac- tory when she was 13, plugging away for $6 a week. Before long she had taught her self how to type and was plugging at the keyboard for a few dollars more. Then she learned to operate a telephone switchboard, and pro- gressed to the “plugging in” of long distance calls in the Chicago ex- change. Later, after she had gone on the stage, she alternated uncertain audeville engagements with “plug- ging” songs in a music store with her sister Bernice. Ready-Made Plot Now she is plugging for success in her first talkie, in the role she played in the stage musical, “Fol- |low Thru.” Of the real children of the stage is Zelma. Careers like hers have “/ood Slghfs seen the lozens of the erstwhile popular inspiration already for rackstage talkies. She is short, Jlump, pepful as a jazz drummer, | and “cute.” With those qualities, and a voice o match, it was inevitable she should develop a yen for the stage. 3he gratified it by a night course n a cheap dramatic school which vas staging a “musical comedy.” Zelma got in the chorus, but be- ore the show opened, in a small own near Chicago, she was a prin- cipal. The show folded, of course, but Zelma stuck to the footlights zame, Schooling There followed ventures in small- time vaudeville with her sister, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes encouraging, always yielding ex- perience. Eventually, when their act was near enough to New: ¥ork, they struck out for the city—with| $12! Jobs were hard to find, but they| found them. Neighborhood theatres, small pre- sentation houses in Jersey, one thing and another, but they got| along. Then came Zelma's big break-- the “Good News” role. o e By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, May 13—If you would know just how powerful is that pet congressional phrase of “I object,” then drop in on consent calendar day in the House of Rep- {resentatives and watch Bill Stafford in action. This wiry, dark-complexioned rep- |resentative from Wisconsin has a {field day on such ¢ ons. | He is a sort of one man wreck- ing crew—pet bills of his colleagues and supposedly uncontested legis- ‘umm fall quickly by the wayside Z |due to his efforts. Consent calendar day in the house is the time set aside to get, {rid of the countless pieces of legis- lation to which there is thought to be no real cbjection. However, }unnnimuus consent must be had before such bills are “passed. One Irising in his seat and informing the speaker, “I object.” Free Lance This is just what Stalford is fond of doing. And he is a free lance objector. The majority has 1ts own wrecking crew—three men who keep an eye on the bills to see that only legislation with merit gbts by—but Stafford goes it alone. On consent calendar day he is in his seat early and stays late. Most of the time he is on his feet, on the Republican side of the |chamber, within ear shot of Major- ity Leader Tilson’s table. Usually the row of seats near him are un- occupied, permitting him to walk |up and down while he is doing his objecting. If he is a bit tardy in arriving » A Washington Bystander on consent calendar day, he throws his hat and coat to a page, and goes quickly to his station. There |he grabs a copy of the house cal- the moment, and soon is lost in the proceedings. I have seen him sit on the floor of the house and munch a sand- er than go out for lunch, for fear a bill would go by in his _nbsence that he thought should nci gu by. Sticks And when Stafford objects it is | |rare indeed that he retrac;s His colleagues know only too. well that they can’t force him into line. When he is convinced that he is {right, he sticks it out until the bit- ter end. Up and down that va- jcant row he strides, stating his rea- jman can delay action by merely| Isons, emphasizing those reasons with wild waving of a copy of the calendar he holds in his right hand. The man’s energy is lithitless when the number of bills in which he shows an interest is considered. From February 17 to March 1 of this year he had something to say on the floor of the house at more than 40 different times. And the subjects of his remarks during this period ranged from the Alaska-Northwest highway to electric current' for Hamakua, Ha- waii, and back to a monument in the petrified national forest. —— GOING TO CORDOVA W.
