Those four words describe “Sa- lute,” the West Ppint-Annapolis all | talking Fox Movietone picture which made its debut yesterday at the Coliseum. “Salute” 1s unusualy fine screen entertainment. The story is dif- ferent, compact, graphically unfold- ed, with many a laugh to relieve tense moments, and has a smash~ ing finish. The tale concerns two brothers— George O'Brien an athletic hero at West Point, and William Jan- { ney, a midshipman at Annapolis who tries hard but unsuccessfully . to duplicate his famous brother's athletic triumphs. O'Brien’s domi- nant personality sweeps all before him, but when the handsome ath- lete seems about to take the heart and hand of Helen Chandler, Jan- ney realizes for the first time that he, too loves her. ‘The brothers meet in the annual { Army-Navy football clash at the * Polo Grounds, New York, O'Brien as All-American halfback and Jan- ' ney as a substitute end.

It is without doubt the most tuneful, the most prodigal, the most uniformly magnificent pro- ducetion which has ever reached the screen. This colossal revue is an all- Mavietone and all-Fechnicolor med- ley of inspiring spectacle, be- witching melody, matchless dancing, comedy. excellence is surpassing. If any particular feature of so great an achievement as “King of Jazz” can be segregated for special praise, then those features must be the truly marvelous music repro- |duction, the conception and direc- tion of the spectacle numbers, not-| tably the “Melting Pot”; the gor-| [geous dancing by the Russell Mar-| kert dancers throughout the pic- ture and the featured numbers ofi John Boles and Jeanette Loff.

HORTON = | AT COLISEUM SUNDAY | . The ancient and honorable orde.r of saps expects to install a chapter in Juneau when the Coliseum thea- ter opens with Warner Bros.” new Vitaphone comedy featuring Edward Everett Horton, and named “The Sap.” Any and all persons who have ever acted the sap, either momen- tarily or for a considerable period of time, are eligible and it is con- fidently expected that a rather large percentage of the population will be ready to join. To be a sap, according to Mr. Hortén (who ought to know, since he plays the title role), one may be lovable, smart and respectable, but one must have, at some time, done some foolish thing, such as dreaming day dreams or buying worthless oil stock. Each member of the great Sap Order must be willing to recognize himself as a sap; he must agree to be laughed at, a=d above all he must henceforth register sympathy |for all other saps. “The Sap,” is one of the funni- est, fastest, small town stories ever screened and recorded and repre- sents the last word in family enter- tainment. There is an all-star cast including A. Hale, Franklyn Pang- born, Patsy Ruth Miller, Edna Mur- phy, Russell Simpson, Louise Car- ver and Jerry Mandy. “The Sap” is based on the play by Willlam Grew. — ., DOUGLAS { NEWS TWO FOURTH EVENTS HELD DOUGLAS ISL Hose Races, Patriotic Ex- ercises Pulled Off— Others Tomorrow |combination of his beautiful bari- fone and Whiteman’s music in such songs as “It Happened in Monterey,” and “The Song of Dawn,” is superb, These numbers both are sung in beautiful settings, dding tremendously to the inspir- ing romance of both Boles’' person- ality and his voice.

C 5 “Ignorance about the beginning days is rather dense in some qpat—‘ ters,” he said, “which ignoranee is| shown by the story of the, ¢wo, women who once visited Plymouth | Rock, and questioning a smalli boy as to the place where Columbus landed, the small boy replying that he did not land there, but landed in Chicago.” 1 Quoting from the preamble of the Constitution, he showed the dire need of those colonists for the need of a more perfect union, the esta)q-[ lishment of justice, the insurance of domestic tranquility, the provis-| \ion for the common defense, and | ithe security of the blessings of lib- erty for children’s children. . “In those days there were great issues, {great men, great sacrifices, and[ great dreams of a great mnation—| this land was fashioned in a he-| roic mold.” Mr. Bauer gave some vivid discriptions of the “Days of m6,” and Washington at Valley Forge, all of which he said “is’ the :needvd information for our day |concerning the birth of our na- jtion.” Reason for Crackers as | Specially directed to the boys and | girls of his audience, the speaker gave as a possible reason for fire-| crackers, balls, bonfires, and il- )luminauons, a letter written by John Adams to his wife Abigail on the third day of July, 1776. The {letter contained these sentences: “It | —this day—ought to be commemor- ated as the great day of deliverance |by solemn acts of devotion to al- mighty God. It ought to be sol- emnized with pomp and parade, with shows and games, sports, balls, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward and forevermore.” And especially show- ing Mr. Adams’ patriotic feeling was this sentence: “You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not.” “The final object of the knowl- edge and inspiration of the Day We Celébrate,” Mr. Bauer affirmed, “is patriotic deeds. Patriotism that does not support the constitution is faulty. Here above all places on this earth, law is king. He is a traitor to the devotion to high ideals, consumate patriotism and holy sacrifice of human life, who pays no respect to the law of the jand. To pay taxes with cheer and good taste, is a high form of pat- riotic duty. To live and serve as & faithful ‘citizen .in the interest of peace and goodwill of all men is one of the kinds ot patriotism that will make our nation live and hold its place in the sun.” A perération on the meaning of the flag, its 48 stars symbolizing the union; the red stripes standing for the blood of patriots who died for wus and the white stripes, sig- nifying righteousness, without which nations dle, closed the address.
