Attractions in Wa NATIONAL PLAYERS—“Square I Crooks.” Next week, beginning Monday, the National Theater Players will produce the play “Square Crooks,” a new kind of crook comedy. In New York it proved one of the most successful at- tractions of its season, playing at Daly's and the Maxine Elliott Theaters for long runs. Although the title might lead to con- trary belief, “Square Crooks” is basic- elly a comedy. It is filled with thrilling moments, it is true, and it is sometimes touched with melodrama, but the com- edy is the dominant element. There are also moments of real pathos. It concerns two young men formerly en- gaged in careers prohibited by the law. One is married, the other is in love with a beautiful girl. A tireless detec- tive, on the trail of the two, brings about their arrest when a valuable shington Theaters string of pearls is stolen from their em- ployer's home. After that events move fast and furious to a whirlwind finish that makes “Square Crooks” one of the most unusual plays to be presented here this season. Matinees on Wednesday and Satur- day are scheduled. ‘WARDMAN PARK—"The Little Min- ister.” Sir James Barrie's “Little Minister” will be presented by the Junior Theater at Wardman Park Theater Friday and Saturday of this week, with matinee and evening performances each day.

Douktless his earlier training as a play- er in the student orchestra at Kansas University has something to do with the capable musicianship he is said to display. Nancy Carroll, who was last seen with Rogers in the screen version of “Abie's Irish Rose,” is the leading woman, play- ing the part of a song and dance head- liner in a big cinema palace, where Buddy and his band are given a try- out and Miss Carroll is sald to demon- strate the singing and dancing prowess that made her famous on the New York stage. A gripping plot and an abundance of sure-fire comedy, supplied by the stars, Jack Oakie and “Skeets” Gallagher, are promised in “Close Harmony.” PALACE—“The Vojce of the City.” “The Voice of the City,” Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer’s talking picture of the underworld, directed and written by Willard Mack, will be the feature at Loew's Palace starting Saturday. The cast includes well known legitimate stm;x such as Robert Ames and Sylvia eld. given at the Colonial Hotel, Fifteenth Field. and M streets northwest, Thursday eve- ning, May 2. Among the features to be introduced will be a Chinese tap dance by Virginla Lewis, with Clestell Lewis at the piano: Joe Simmons in an acrobatic dance; Elizabeth Burkley, in vivacity toe; Hilda Nash, ballet; Gerry Sego, jazz tap dance; the Misses McKee and Dix in a tambourine dance, and Joe Hoff, in a tango solo. FOX—“True Heaven.” George O’'Brien and Lois Moran will be seen in “True Heaven” at the Fox ‘Theater next week, beginning Saturday of this week. “True Heaven” is described as “hu- man drama,” having for its background the great World War. There is no ac- tual fighting and there are no battle scenes, but there is said to be plenty of punch in the plot. A girl who is a spy for Germany meets a young British officer behind his own lines and gets from him valuable information. She then goes back. Soon the officer, clad in a German uniform, is dispatched on a similar errand to Germany. The girl captures him and from this is built an absorbing story. ‘The stage program will feature the PARAMOUNT’S SENSATIONAL PICTURE All-Talking —All-Singing — All-Dancing A story of gangdom, it moves with the rapid pace of a runaway train in dealing with a jail break, a man hunt, & fake suicide, a murder and an unex- pected and dramatic happy ending, all within the space of 24 hours. Though filled with suspense, plot and counter- plot, nevertheless, it carries a romance, sweet, appealing and tender. Willard Mack, famous playwright and actor, plays the part of the detective, who eventually gets his man and at the same time gives him his freedom. On.the stage there will be presented Frank Cambria's latest creation for Loew-Publix, an exotic, Oriental fan- tasy, “Pearls of Bagdad,” a spectacle with a cast of 40. In this presentation of mosques and minarets are found Jacques Cartier, dancer; Murray and Alan, vocalists; Idrena, acrobatic danc- er; Arch Cannof, vocalist; Gladys St. John, soprano; a singing ensemble, and Persian ballet.

The farce situations arising from the bet are seemingly endless. In order to win, he finds himself telling his sweetheart that he was in love once before with a weight-lifting woman of the circus, thei telling his boss that he is an unscrupu- lous business man and a “night-life hound,” telling a beautiful singer at a house party that he thinks her singing is terrible and getting himself into all | ; kinds of laugh-evoking jams. Richard g{x is said to have a supe- rior capacity for the requirements of the role of the truth-teller, giving a fine comedy portrayal without recourse to buffoonery. Helen Kane is cast as a member of a singing sister act, a win- some, appealing and very funny role. Her baby-talk songs, which have made her famous as a Victor recordlnf star, will be heard throughout the picture. Louis John Bartels, Ned Sparks and Berton Churchill, as the friends who make the wager with Dix, complete the cast of “Nothing but the Truth.” RIALTO—"“Show Boat.” Bo great has been the popular de- mand in Washington, it is announced by the management of the Rialto Thea- ter, that Carl Laemmle’s Movietone pic- torial of Edna Ferber's famous novel, “Show Boat,” and of Florenz Ziegfeld's equally famous stage production of the same story that the picture will be held for another week at the Rialto. ‘That the picture has scored a sen- sational success cannot be doubted, judging from the crowds that besiege the box office and the interest and en- thusiasm shown by the audiences in the theater, and all this following the extraordinary premiere of the picture Monday evening. Until further notice “Show Boat” will be shown in continuous exhibitions daily from 11 am. to 11 pm. and at an admission price of 50 cents, except for the theater boxes.
