- WASHINGTON MOVIE! PLAN S mmmsm; Talking Picture of Capital Wanted to Boost Bicenten- nial Celebration. A proposal to create a talking mo- tion picture of the City of Washington, ! emulating the spirit of the National Capital, for distribution and presents tion in theaters throughout the country during the George Washington bicen- tennial celebration in 1932, was in- dorsed by a special bicentennial com- mittee Diyt.he ?‘snsmngmn Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Operators Ask for Film. Sidney Lust, president of the Motion | Plttureey'rheater Owners’ Association of i the District, in placing the proposition before the committee, declared that American motion picture operators, act- | ing through their national organization | in Philadelphia recently, had expressed | a desire to co-operate in every way pos: | sible to make the 1932 anniversary afL the birth of Washington an event of Nation-wide interest and scope. “This desire on the part of American | cture producers,” Mr. Lust said, “can &sn be expressed by the creation of a| picture which will truly reflect the #pirit and traditions of our great Capital city. I feel sure that Mr. Will H. Hays and the officers of his association will be glad to give serious attention to a proposal that they undertake the mak- ing of a motion picture of such unigue interest and historic value as their contribution to the success of the| bicentennial.” Committee Is Appointed. A committee of five was voted to be appointed to take the plan up directly \gm Mr. Hays. Thomas P. Littlepage s chairman of the chamber’s Bicenten- nial Committee.

NEW LAW HOLDS 2 BOYS ON ESCAPING CHARGE Training School Fugitives Under $1,000 Bond to Answer Before Grand Jury. In the first case of its kind since the passage of the law, Herman Norman and Austin Hearell, both 17 years old, were bound over to the grand jury in Police Court yesterday under $1.000 bonds, charged with escaping from the National Training School. ‘The law under which the boys were ed was passed May 14, last, after a number of boys had escaped from the Bladensburg road institution. It pro- vides a maximum penalty of “five years in the penitentiary” for any one es- caping from a correctional institution “pursuant to the direction of the Attor- ney General.” e two boys, from Alabama and Georgia, respectively, are said to have escaped from the training school several weeks ago. They had been committed to the school for alleged theft of auto- mobiles. SPECIAL NOTICES.

C, SATURDAY, Music and Mausicians Reviews and News of Capita]’s progums. Two Soloists Featured At Morning Music Club. VERY large audience was at hand yesterday to welcome Frances Gutelius and Emily Coville, who were appearing as guest artists ‘of the FPriday Morning _Music Club at Barker Hall, The pro- gram, as pre- cented by these voung musicians, was a generous one, and full of light, whimsical and musi- cally appetizing selections. Especiaily to be remarked on were a group of songs done by Mrs. Co- ville with a grace that left her audience in the greatest of good humors. Called “Songs from the Just-So Stories,” immortalized by the pen of Mr. Kipling, and set to delightful music by a Mr. or Mrs, or Miss German, these shorter num- bers seemed among the more out- standing bits of the morning. Mrs, Coville sang them with @ clear and effortless voice, some 6f her previous efforts having been marred by a slurring, see-saw juggling from one note to another—noticeable mostly in the Bach “Kom Susser Tod.” In the Kipling songs, however, she mus- tered the very considerable talent that she is capable of, and sang them not only prettily but spon- taneously and in the true manner of a true artist. Miss Gutelius began the program with a rendering of the Schumann “Kreisleriana.” ~ Starting off with moderate speed and maximum tech- nical persuasion, she passed blithely through the “vivacisisimo” and the “andantino” movements, her play- ing becoming a trifie blurred only toward the end of the last page or s0. In this, an exacting passage for the most stalwart. artist, Miss Gutelius seemed somewhat overcome by the difficulties that beset her. By the time she had gone on to the rendering of the Brahms “Capric- cio,” however, and the Debussy “Bal- lade"” and the MacDowell “Polo- naise.” these blemishes were easily forgotten and only the excellencies of the moment of this latter group could, or should, or can be remem- Frances Gutelius. bered. ‘This very pleasing am Was fittingly brought to a close by Maud G. Sewall, who reminded those pres- ent of the Beethoven Festival which isin such a near offing. E.deS.M. NNOUNCEMENT is made of the twenty-ninth concert to be given by the Interstate Male Chorus the night of Decembr 17 at D. A. R. Memorial Continental Hall. Clyde B. Aitchison, conductor of this or- ganization, is sald to be preparing a program of unusual interest for this occasion. The chorus will present Alma Kitchell, contralto, of New York, as soloist, as well as a string quintet and flute from the orchestral section of the United States Marine Band, through the courtesy of Maj. Gen. Fuller, com- mandant of the Marine Corps. OCAL music circles are much in- 4 terested in the announcement recently made by the Washington Conservatory of Music to the effect that Boris Levenson has become in- structor theré and head of the theretical department. Mr. Leven- son, who seems to have been a warm personal friend and pupil of Rimsky-Korsakoff, is a noted com- poser and conductor as well as teacher. A graduate of the Petro- grad Conservatory of Music, he also s'.u&iled under the famous Glazou- nofl. ORD from the home offices of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which is giving its second concert of the season the night of Decem- ber 9 at Constitution Hall, indicates that Stokowski's program, althouzh given over mostly to Brahms and Beethoven, will also have some se- lections not so familiar to Washing- ton music patrons. Included in these will be the Debussy “Iberia” and the “Chorale and Fugue in D Minor,” by Zemachson. TH!: Misses Sutro, who piano en- semble concert at the Mayflower is scheduled for Sunday night, De- cember 7, are appearing in recital as guest soloists at the New York Macdowell Club this Sunday evening. 'OMORROW afternoon at 5 o'clock the music hour at the Y. W. C. A. will be devoted to the symphonies to be played by the Boston Symphony Or- chestra during the coming week of the Beethoven festival.

From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Great Divide” Community Guild Triumph, Community Drama Guild put its best foot forward last night in the presentation of William Vaughn Moody's classic, “Tine Great Divide,” at the McKinley Auditorium. The actors, the direction, the staging and the settings contributed to an eve- ning unsurpassed in the annals of this able and now veteran theatrical organ ization. Particularly 7 to be remarked upon was the setting for the last act, which seemed as pic- turesqus a bit of stage crafts- manship as has been seen on local or profes- sional stages. ‘The contrast of light and dark, the three pic- tures, the small red Marguerite Wolfe. naturajness in tone and harmony that must have struck the most cynical cynic with the utmost delight. There_couldn’t have been many present last night to whom tae ;rl: of this play was not familiar. - duced many, many times, and tor- tured not so long-ago by th> films, this play yet lived and breathed all over again with a freshness that was due to the first-rate company. The choice of cast and casting was excel- lent. Denis E. Connell, as the man who bargained and rolled dice for his wife and carried her ruthlessly— but not so ruthlessly as the easily shockable nineties thought—into the mountains, rose to real heights in the very difficult last act, while Marguerite Wolfz loved and cried and cried and loved with naturalness and distinction. ‘There were others in the cast, too, who in lesser moments contributed vastly to the whole. Dorothea Paull and Ray C. Montgomery, who, as in the cas* of Miss Wolfe, were new- comgrs to the stage of the Com- munity Drama, played with the airs and graces of the professional with- out seeming to lift a finger in the doing of it. And there were besides Maud How:ll Smith, Melvin D. Hil- dreth and Harold Farrington, all on the very tips of their theatrical toes, making much out of the tid-bits that had been allotted them. Although in the first act the cues came not with the sprightliness that Director Moody might have wished, the speed of their delivery increased with the developments of the second, and by the third act the dialogue was b-ing rattled off with a spon- taneousness that ' Yhade the more faulty moments forgivable. ‘The play is to be-¥epeated tonight, and judging from its “first night,” should attract large and eager crowds. E. de 8. M. “The Dancers” Intelligent, Not Banal. BUXLT upon a triangle whose lines are singularly straight, *“The Dancers,” the picture at the Fox Theater, offers a story of two women and a man, in which there is a riv- alry that impresses because of its mystery, rather than its violence, or its devilish wickedness. Chief de- pendence is placed on successive sit- uations and the showing of clear-cut personalities. The introduction of an airplane to carry one of the two women into apparent oblivion, after a series of surprises, comes at the impressive part of the story. While plenty of action,” crowded scenes and travel between two con- tinents are employed, with the cable as a carrier of tender messages, it is appafent that banality has been pur- posely avoided, and that “intelli- gence” is written across the face of the film. Judgments of its chief figures may be assoclated with the favorite dictum in “advice to the lovelorn,” that 'tis better to have loved and lost than to marry with one eye fixed on the third line in the triangle. The intelligence men- tioned may be credited, to the expert work in the original sketch, the basis of the motion picture, exhibited b Du Maurier and Viola Tree, both 'cf whom discovered long ago that there is nothing incompatible Hetween' a red-blooded audience and charac- ters which do not creak at the joints. Lois Moran, Phillips Holmes and Mae Clarke, with acting which con- veys an understanding of definjte characters, contribute materially to the value of the production. The work of the two women is inevitably to be noticed as worth whilé, for | mission failed. and impulse, while Miss Clarke pre- sents in understandable form the human devotion to ideals which may be found particularly in one who is qualified as a public entertainer. ‘There is extreme pleasure in viewing Mr. Holmes' part in the play, for he has an appreciation of masculine force without swashbuckling which appears to be rare. Walter Byron has an associate place in the story which he makes interesting, while the famous Mrs. Patrick Campbell is shown in a more mature role. Tyr- rell Davis is a lively figure in the cast. National characteristics of Canada, England and Prance fur- nish the background of the scenes. Fanchon and Marco’s “Rose Gar- den” idea is carried out with a wealth of color in the stage presen- tation. The chorus meets unusual demands - with notable skill. Red Donahue and Uno, the trained mule, continue to offer one of the best ani- mal acts. Harold Stanton, tenor, sings impressively, concluding with “Old Man River.” The adagio per- formance by “Three Jacks and a Queen” is combined with the work of the entire company in w pic- turesque way. Helen Petch, acro- batic toe dancer, and Rio and Lunny, in comedy dancing, give variety, while the Fox Orchestra under Leon Brusiloff plays a medley of music “around the world.” The news reel and Ron and Don at the organ com- plete the prcgram.

One suspect was under arrest today as the result of an investigation launched by headquarters detectives {into the trio of hold-ups in which |armed robbers collected $143 from two | gasoline filling stations and a grocery | store early last night. The man is being held at the fifth precinct station pending further in- | vestigation of his story by Detective |Sergts. Van Doran Hughes, Chester Stepp, J. J. Tolson and John W.

The Lord Baltimore gasoline station, at 2715 Pennsylvania avenue, was held- up by three white men and robbed of $95 at 11 o'clock, half an hour after the Kagey robbery.

Otto L. Wieseinborn of 1331 K street, manager of the Lord Baltimore station, told police the men flashed a gun on him and robbed the cash register. Detectives were furnished with the tag number of a machine similar to the one used by the hold-up men in the Kagey case and the ownership of the car was traced to a man living in the southeast secticn of the city. The tag numbers were turned over to the headquarters men by a fifth precinct policeman, who had seen the car in | the vicinity of the gas station about the time of the robbery. W. N.

The right of the President to select the members of his eabinet is freely recognized by all classes of people, regardless of political or eco- nomic affiliations. “President Wilson selected the first Secretary of Labor from the American Pederation of Labor. His successors, President Harding and President Cool- idge, did likewise.

Regarding the confirmation of Mr. Doak's nomination, the White House is understood to have had assurances from some of the administration leaders that there is no reason for apprehension on this score.

Groups of Federal agents and Wash- | ington policemen, three times larger than normal strength, vorked In South- | |ern Maryland today to “dry up” an extensive area. Four parties bore the brunt of a vigorous attack on the supply of Christmas intoxicants, with the Fed- | eral men hopeful of offering a 100 per cent_effective report to Col. Amos W. W.

Col, Woodcock, who is known to re- gard Southern Maryland as one of the sore spots in enforcement activity, was | said to have ordered as large a force as is necessary to produce results. The argument that the staff of enforcement officers has never been adequate to stop the flow of liquor from Southern Mary- land into the National Capital has been swept aside by Col. Woodcock's order that as many men as can be spared from other sections be brought in for the drive. Source of Discomfort. The area under attack has more miles of uncharted wagon tracks leading to inaccessible liquor supplies than almost any area of similar dimensions in the, country. The temperament of the lawless ele- ment, the topography of the territory and other factors have long made it a source of extreme discomfort to the Pro- hibition Bureau. Familiar with the situ- ation' by virture of his contacts and ex- perience as a prosecuting officer, Col. Woodcock is said to be especially con- cerned that the Federal men throw all their resources into the territory. No limit has been set on the duration of the drive. Federal agents have been quartered in four Maryland towns and will work out of those towns until the area is covered. Two crews of three men each have been assigned to Leonard- town, one crew to La Plata, one crew, to Waldorf, crews to Marlboro and two crews will work-out of Washington. | during the second week of December, DRYS WEIGH PLAN FOR VOTE ON RUM Leaders Consider Backing | U. S. Referendum—McBride Objects to Proposal. By the Associated Press Leaders of the country's prohibition forces are discussing the desirability of lending support to a national referen- dum on prohibition. A tentative plan, on which deciston | has not been made as yet, would have | | | the prohibition forces stand behind a I constitutional amendment, formulated | by the wets, calling for repeal or modi- | fication of the eighteenth amendment. | This support would extend until Con- | gress had looked over the proposal, and | would be contingent upon definite as- | surance that separate constitutional | conventions elected by each State would | pass upon it, and that the decision of | these groups would be accepted as final, for & time at least, by the prohibition j opponents. Dry Leaders at Odds. | The dry leaders are far from being | In harmony on the plan. F. Scott M- | He was | a native of Scotland, and James J.|Dride, Anti-Saloon League superintend- | ent, termed it “a betrayal of prohibi- | tion by the dry leaders.” | Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, | Prohibition and Public Morals, said he | was “ready to sit down with the wets | at an; u]» be ple, asking them to say yes or no as to | whether the liquor traffic should be- resumed.” | He doubted wet leaders w | to the proposal. e Conferences on the subject are to continue here and in New York. The discussion probably will be renewed First Broached in Hotel Room. The plan first was broached before a small group of drys in a hotel room here. Present were Patrick H. Callahan of Louisville, Ky., secretary of the Asso- cation of Catholics Favoring Prohibi- tion; Representative Fort, Republican, New Jersey; Oliver Stewart of Indian- apolis, head of the Flying Squadron of America, and Dr. Arthur J. Barton of Wilmington, N. C., head of the Tem- perance Committee of the Sauth:m; Baptist Convention. McBride and Wil- son were out of the city, but were rep- resented at the conference by asso- Clal\:,le!. cBride's position on the suggest was that there was nothing to geg "Lo‘r.n ed by the drys; that no one could bind the wets to let up their attacks on pro- hibition; L;mt nldwould be a waste of money, and would put prohibition - porters on the fle(ensivg. e AUTO INJURY FATAL TO COLORED MAN, 47 Was Knocked Down by Car Back- ing From Curb—Census Clerk Is Badly Hurt.
