LTHOUGH “A Man From Wyoming,” this week's fea- ture at Loew’s Palace, is in- trinsically a war story and therefore similar to a hun- dred and one others, it is unique in that it shows a young society girl walking unmolested out to the front- line trenches. This extraordinary phenomenon is the base and basis of the film, which there- after rambles from the north of France to the south and back again. hat happens to Gary Cooper, as the man from Wyoming, is that when he sees this_lovely young girl float- ing on the near horizon of the front lines he makes a grab at her, throws her in his dugout and tells her in im- polite language that she is a fool. Then he orders her away back to Paris, and watches her as she de- parts on an Army truck. She 71o0ls him, however, and doesn’t go away at all, bué comes up to his room that night to tell him that she loves him. They get married almost immediately, and three days later he is ordered back Yo the front. All goes well until Gary is re- ported slain.. Whereupon his wife goes down to Nice, and in one of Gary Cooper. her father's villas, the Villa Blue, * . she flings" the maddest and baddest parties on the Riviera. Gary,eof course, when_he finds her again isn’t so pleased. He goes off to the war, vowing to forget. But she finds him .—oh, yes, she finds him—and walks back to those trenches where she took her first walk, and there, etc., etc., ete. © ‘This picture must kave been rather & strain on Gary Cooper, who looks uncomfortable throughouf. The girl who falls into his arms is played negligibly by June Collyer. Regis ‘Toomey, as Gary’s pal, “Jersey,” out- plays them both and in a small bit. ‘To make up for the not so good film feature there is a short but sweet stage show called “Singing to the Stars,” which has the best adagio dancers seen here this season. The Peggy Taylor-Gary Leon ensemble are, in fact, the stars of the whole show—very nearly braining the young lady who is thrown around like a pillow. Others who contribute to its general excellence are Hilda Butsova, a good but unoriginal toe dancer; Wesley Boyton, who sings very nicely, and the Chester Hale Girls, at top form and speed. Dick Liebert continues to produce songs from the throats of his audi- ence. There is also a grand short called “An Old-Time Movie Show,” and the Hearst Metrotone News, with the Palace orchestra to complete the bill. E. de 8. M. “Inside the Lines” Reported a Fine Production. BEITY COMPSON proves that the directors were right and those ‘who thought she was ‘ through” were wrong, by her stellar performance in “Inside the Lines,” this week’s offer- ing at R-K-O Keith’s, an excellent dramatization of a war story, seems to demonstrate beyond a doubt that she is a very good actress. The story is good and the acting excellent, two things that combine for an enjoyable evening of enter- Demonstration All This Week At 419 10th St. WEST 0615 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

And, the denouement is too surprising to divulge it here, There is also a keen surprise for those who see the picture in the final scenes. The story is based on the play of the same title, with the aid of the greater scenic effects possible in the movies, may be said to score a greater triumph. Ralph Forbes, who gets better with each new production, has a role that suits him exactly. “Inside the Lines” is a story of thrilling intrigue and of death-de- fying sples. Betty, throughout the greater part of the story, is torn be- tween love of fatherland and love of an English officer, whose secrets she must get at Gibralter, so that the British Mediterranean fleet may be wiped out. There are comedy and hos, love and laughter throughout the picture and the fine work of a strong supporting cast puts the gilt edge on the production. To_those who enjoy the educa- tionally scientific type of film, R-K-O Kelth’s added attraction this week is recommended, although it is strongly reminiscent of some of the Byrd pictures. “Bottom of the World” is its title and it was made under the sponsorship of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History. It was directed by Dr. Robert C. Murphy, who also explains it in an informative acmflll-tllkle story of South Georgia, the gateway to Ant- arctica. Animal life on the bare, bleak, icy coastal island is portrayed faithfully, with penguins, albatross, sea leopards and gulls as the princi- pal actors. The news reel, the animated talkie cartoon, short subjects and the R-K-Orlians round out the pro- gram. D.J. K. “Our Blushing Brides” A Tip to the Over-Trustful. “OUR BLUSHING BRIDES,” now at Loew’s Columbia Theater, is a film that should be very, very popular. It wears on its sleeve the evidences of its theme, of which this current age is most fond—the vitfalls that surround the working girl. And it has probably more pic- tures of feminine garb, and more philosophizing about the benefits, or vice versa, to be derived from and bad than any picture on the market. Starting out with its best foot " first—a light, amusing, often really clever beginning—the picture, after the first half hour, settles down to being earnest, and toward the end ripens into an out-and-out tragedy. One discovers three young girls working in a department store, ex- isting on twenty-two-fifty a week. Two of them decide that all they want is “filthy lucre.” The third— Joan Crawford at her most alluring —has a romantic outlook and real- izes, possibly, that “the best things in life are free.” This “good” girl, after warning her two friends about the foibles and foolishnesses of men, has the mortification of seeing one of them married to a crook and the other installed in a Riverside Drive apart- ment, completely happy over the generosity of her boy friend, who has promised to marry her “in a day or so.” The Riverside Drive lassie, however, finds that this lad hasn't been square with her—and when reading in the paper the account of his engagement to a society girl, she rushes into the bath room, grabs poison, and, as is the way with poison, it removes her from the world of trust deceived. Through this morose story Miss Crawford has an affair of her own, but repressing her natural aspira- tions under a mantle of virtuous- ness, even when she is lured to a American History Ignored by England, Says Prize Student Unable to Get Course in Colleges There, Studies European Events. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 12—Stanley El- liott of West Linn, Ore, went to England to study United States history, but he found, he said on his return today, that no English university offers & course in this subject. ‘Two years ago, while working in a store to put himself through Union |p, High School at West Linn, Stanley de- cided he would like to be a professor of United States history. A year ago a history thesis on the effect of armament on international psychology, which Stanley wrote, was Jjudged the best of 87,000 submitted by high school seniors for the Brooks- bright prize—a year in a foreign uni- versity, with all expenses paid. Stanley was sent to the University of Bristol, England. And there he tried to get some courses in United States history. “But they didn’t have any. Not only that; I found out that there isn't a university in England where they do have a course in United States history. You can get a little at Oxford, as part of another course, and they're trying to get it into the university of London.” Stanley took nineteenth century European history at the University of Bristol. He went to the history lectures in plus-fours and a cap and gown that reached only to his knees— seniors alone are entitled to wear them long. SHANGHAI REAL ESTATE SOARS TO RECORD PRICES SHANGHAI (P).—Real estate values in Shanghai have risen to new high records despite the silver slump and the continued low money exchanges. Several deals have been recorded where prices exceeded the valuation given the property a year ago by as much as 300 per cent. A piece of land in the heart of the business district recently sold for $80,- 000 (gold) per lot. The price for the same plot in 1928 was less than $30,000. ‘The new owner refused $100,000 a lot two weeks after he had closed the deal. —_— g ind estate and to a ball room sized studio that is meant to be setting up in a_tree, she keeps the man at arm's length until the bitter end. From first to last Miss Crawford approximates not only beauty just about personified, but she shows that her youth doesn't prevent her from demonstrating a real aptitude for acting. Furthermore, when she sinks into Robert Montgomery's arms in the final fade-out she is giving him probably the first “break,” as far as ending up hap- pily “forever after,” that he has had in_the movies. The others in the cast, advertised as brought together from “Dancing Daughters,” are sometimes good and sometimes bad, Anita Page being nothing very great in the way of an actress, and the three ‘“yes men" from Paris being “grand.” The film is well directed, but since when has Oyster Bay, Long Island, had mountains or a lake large enough to have a good sized island on it? And, incidentally, why the title? The Hearst Metrotone News, short subjects and the Columbia Orches- tra complete the bill. E. de S. M. o Y ANGLICAN BISHOPS | IN'SILENT SESSION Prelates Give Reporters “Nothing but Suave Smile” on London Conference. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1930 LONDON, England, July 12.—Three hundred bishops of the Anglican Church are sitting daily in secret» con- clave at Lambeth Palace in London, residence of the Archbishop of Canter- ury. These prelates from the distant cor- ners of the British Empire, the United States and Europe, are holding their meeting in the utmost secrecy. They are all pledged to say nothing about the happenings at the Lambeth Palace reunion, and many of the finest British reporters, who are spending endless hours endeavoring to obtain some kind of information, are returning empty- handed to their offices. “We can get nothing but a sauve smile from these fine diplomats of the Protestant Church,” they say. Faces Two Alternatives. 1t is understood that this great silence is due to the fact that so far the bishops have been unable to reach an agreement on a very important question they are debating, which is whether the English Church in South India should co-operate with the Presbyterian Church. Chief opposition in this issue comes from the Anglo-Catholics, who regard such co-operation as possible amal- gamation, in which case the whole question of the ordination of bishops will have to be reopened. The con- ference faces two alternatives—either to reject the proposal of co-operation or to favor it in a roundabout way in order to placate the powerful Anglo-Catholic group. The Archbishop of Canterbury favors co-operation and emphasizes the im- portance of presenting a united front to the Christian churches in India. He suggests that a plan could be worked out achieving administrative unity of various denominations without unity of rituals. He is using his powerful in- fluence to get the bishops to agrree to such a compromise. Compromise Existg It is understood that at yesterday’s meeting he showed that such a com- promise was already in existence, since the Indian Sunday School Union al- ready had been formed, with the co- operation of all the churches represent- ed in India. The archbishop added that should the congress fail to reach a sat- isfactory decision, the bishops risked losing whatever hold they now had on the Indian churches.

Dr. Adolph Keiler, representing the Protestant churches on the Continent, stated that he regarded a favorable is- sue of the congress as vital to the future of the ecumbnical movement. In e?lu of the stubborn opposition of- fered by the Anglo-Catholics, it is ex- pected that a formula which will se- cure unity in Christendom will soon be devised. Mrs. Sarah J.
