CITY IMPROVEMENT LAUDED INBOOKLET Blcentenmal Group Says | Capital to Be Worthy of | Country in 1932. “The National Capital in the year 1932 will come nearer than ever before | to being worthy of our ever greater Nation and to fulfilling President Cool- idge's hope that it shall ‘express the | soul of America,' " declared the George Washington Bicentennial Commission in a pamphlet which is being mailed all over the United States. “For several years,” declares the com- mission, “‘a vast program of Federal im- provements in and about the City of Washington has been in process of de- velopment. While many of hese have | been entered upon without any special relation to the 200th anniversury of the birth of George Washington in | 1932, every effort is being made by | those charged with their execution to | have them as nearly completed as prac- | ticable for the large number of visitors | expected during the period of the cele- | bration ! “Some of the more impressive con- struction enterprises now being ad- vanced toward completion are the ma- jestic groups of executive department buildings that will occupy many squares | between Pennsylvania avenue and the | Mall and extend from the Capitol to | the Treasury; the Supreme Court | Building, the enlarged Congressional | Library and the Union Station Plaza. | The total cost of this series of new Fed- | eral office buildings will be approxi- mately $150,000,000. While certain activities will center in the Nation's Capital during the celebration year, it | will not be a celebration for the City of Washington any more than for any other city. | “The people of the District of | Columbia, through their own commis- slon, have undertaken the responsibility of providing for the comfort and con- venience of the people who will natu- rally wish to visit the National Capital during the vacation period of 1932, in | order to assist as many Americans as possible to see the city itself and the! rich store of historical material in it, inspect the many kinds of governmental activities carried on here, and visit the many nearby historic shrines associated with the life and achievements of George Washington.” The pamphlet goes on to describe in more detail the Mount Vernon boule- vard, now under construction; the pro- posed restoration of Wakefield, in West- moreland County, Va., near the lower Potomac River, where Washington was | born, and other places of interest in and near this city, connected with the life and work of Georz: Washington. SCHOOL BOARD FUNDS COMPLICATE FAILURE| Defunct Florida Bank Made Chief Figure in Action by Court Injunction. By the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla., July 19.—A temporary fnjunction issued in Federal Court here today restrains Ermest Amos, State controller. the Jacksonville branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, and other | defendants from disposing of trust re- | ceipts guaranteeing part of Dade County School Board's $323,600 deposit in the defunct Bank of Bay Biscayne. | Application for the injunction | charged Amos had committed fraud or | intended to commit fraud in the trans- fer or intended transfer of $48,000 | worth of Government bonds for the | purpose of preferring certain of the de- | funct bank’s creditors over the Royal Indemnity Co. of New York, which filed the application. Hearing on the order was set for July 25. Other active defendants named in the suit were the Miami In- surance Agency, to which it was charged the bonds and certificates were delivered, and the bank. Named as technical defendants, be- cause they did not appear as plaintiffs to the suit, are the Massachusetts Bonding and Security Co., Aetna Cas- ualty and Surety Co., Southern Surety Co., Fidelity and Casualty Co. All ot these and the plaintiff had written in- | surance policies, guaranteeing the | school board’s deposit against loss. Ad- | ditional surety of $150,000 was provided in United States and domestic bonds In Tallahassee, Controller Amos to- day replied that his actions in the mat- ter had been based on a legal opinion from Attorney General Fred H. Davis. The controller added he believes depositors in the Bank of Bay Biscayne would benefit if his actions are upheld by the court, whereas, he says, the in- surance company would benefit at the depositors’ expense, if the court rules against him. SUIT FOLLOWS ARREST Liquor Law Defendant Charges| Tllegal Process in $11,000 Action. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 19 (#).— Charging that he was cursed and U-} legally detained by Federal prohibition | officers for three hours, Roscoe McGee, | colored, today filed suit for $11,000 in Circuit’ Court here against James R Fletcher, also colored, and Sylvan R.| ‘White, who, he said, were the arresting officers. McGee was arrested as a liquor law violator July 16, during a campaign conducted here following an investiga- tion by Federal “undercover” agents. Somaliland Raises Silk.

C From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Lawful Larceny” Reflects Credit Upon Lowell Sherman. “ AWFUL LARCENY,” this week's screen attraction at R-K-O Keith's, takes Lowell Sherman from the ranks of first-rate actors to the ranks of first-rate directors—and back again. Mr. Sherman not only directed this picture with amazing astute- ness, but he acts in it with equal brilliance. It is refresh- ing to come upon a screen story of this kind, in which the bad people are really bad and the good people at least human. It is, furthermore, a considerable treat to find Lowell Sherman, that this well known Samual Shipman play has been handled by Mr. Sherman in just the manner that suits it best. Never taking itself too serfously, it tells its little tale of the revenge of one woman, Jjustifiably, on the other with splen- did if not inspirational results. Bebe Daniels—as per advertise- ment—is the star of this picture. One has to admit that she is very, very good. However, Mr. Sherman happens to be just so much better, or rather, he has seen to it—with no malice aforethought, of course— that he himself is given the juiciest portions. The outcome proves that he was warranted in the confidence inspired in himself. Admittedly given to overindulgence in mannerisms, his slightest action before the cam- era is provocatively amusing and continually skillful. And if there is a gentleman who can wear a white vest and a flower in his but- tonhole with more distinction than Mr. Sherman, he has yet to be un- earthed. The moral this screen play pur- ports to implant is that a cheating woman should not trifle with the affections of a happily married man. If she does—beware!—when the wife of the man happens to be clever. In this case the results come fast and furiously and the lady demon gets her due in melo- dramatic manner. One feels like getting up and cheering when Bebe exposes the female card-sharp, and perhaps again when, at the last, Mr. Sherman is shown going home, re- morsefully reclining on an early morning milk wagon. The whole cast, including Olive Tell as the villainess, Kenneth Thompson as the “sucker” husband and, of corrse, Miss Daniels and Mr. Sherman, turn in just about a perfect score. The film is, on the whole, shrewd, sophisticated and totally enjoyable entertainment. Additional items on the program include a screen travel-talk, short subjects and the R-K-Olians making merry in the orche-tn pit. E. de 8. M. “Shadow of the Law” Has Its Good Points, at Palace. “YHAT!'VER else it discloses, and there is considerable, “Shad- ow of the Law,” the current screen feature at the Palace, proves that William Powell has the best voice in the talkies. His manner of speaking should be - studied by psuedo-actors who are afflicted with uncertain methods of speech. More- over, it seems as though in another minute or two, Mr. Powell might be dashing into a Shakespearean film, 50 expert is the plain, every-day vocalizing of his vowels. ‘This is not to say that the hero of “Shadow of the Law” bursts into song. He has hardly time for such trivialities.

One seems to have heard and seen a good deal about prisons, escaped convicts and girls who love them when they go straight once more out in the great, open world. The screen has recent- ly been crowded with this morose idea. And yet, in spite of a scene or two almost identical with “The little bit of TROUBLED WITH DANDRUFF Hair Came Out in Comb- fuls, Cuticura Healed. “‘My scalp began to itch and burn d I was troubled with dandruff.
