WO STARTSSUON O 3 BULDNGS Second Phase of Federal Program Due to Open Before October 1. With excavation and foundation work | scheduled to start on the site for three | great public buildings here this week, | prospects are that before the first of | October actual cperatics will be under | way for six Federal structures in the Federal triangle, with a total cost of | $42,300,000, i These six monumental buildings, which are an integral part of the so- called ‘“unified architectural compos tion” of the Mall-Pennsylvania_avenue | triangle, are the Post Office Depart- Intersiat> Commerce Commission, nment fAuditorium, Department of Labor, National Archives Building and the Department of Justice. They con- stitute the “second phase” of the build- | ing program. | Will Require 3 Years. | According to careful calculations, 1t ! is estimated that this group of Govern- | ment structures will be completed in about three years. Thousands of work- | men will be employed and millions will be spent in materials, The completion of this group of| structures in the triangle would end the | so-called “second phase” of the public building program and would ke followed | later, if present plans are carried out, | with completion of the rest of the | triangle. | Two monumental buildings already have been erected in the triangle area: The Internal Revenue Building, which is now in use and the Department of Commerce, which is to be occupied about the first of the year. Of this group of new buildings in the second phase, the Archives now has the lead. Ground was broken about a week ago. and excavation is well under way This building is designed to be one of the most beautiful structures in America, and will cost about $8,750,000. It is to house the valuable records of the Gov- ernment, including the military records of all wars. Site Now Cleared. Next operations probably will be put under way this week on the site stretch- ing from Twelfth to Fourteenth street along Constitution avenue, where are to rise the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, the Government Auditorium and the Department of Labor, a group of three buildings united into a single architectural motif. This site is virtu- ally cleared now, with the exception of some of the bricks and foundations cf the old substation of the Potoxnac Elec- tric Power Co. at Fourteenth and the Avenue, where the Department of Labor is to be situated ding will cost $10,- ment Auditorium will cost about 00,000, while the Department of Labor is authorized to cost $4,750,000. Cantract for the exca- vations and foundations of all three of these buildings has been let to Mec- Closkey & Co. of Philadelphia, final details are being completed, and they are expected to start steam shovels early this week. The Department of Justice, next in lin= of construgtion, will biz oni the site between Ninth and Tenth streets, Con- stitution ana Pennsylvania avenues, and is to be the costliest of any of the 2cond phase group of buildings. It has been authorized by Congress to [% 12,000.600. Bids were opened for | he excavations and foundations Friday, 2nd contract is expected to be let by the asury Department within a few ways. i ids to Be Opened. | Ac be taken on the Post Cifice Department building next Friday 100n, when bids will be opened or both the excavation and founda- tions. This building project presents the most inf ting problem of any, because of the fact that the site -is crossed by tracks of the Mount Vernon, Alexandria and Virginia Railway, which is still fighting, to hold onto 1ts rails despite the progicss of the Federal Government in its huge building pro- m. During the past week R. L. May, ner of the raiflway, signified his in- tention of asking for immediate hear- ing on the petition for an injunction filed months ago, which would prevent the Government from mclesting his ;racks until he is reimbursed for his oss. The Government will proceed to tear |. down the railway terminal at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue and to excavate on_ both sides of the tracks which run alorg D strect from’ Twelfth to Thirteenth, across the site for the building. Thus there will be a big hole excavated where the present terminal ow stands, while the cxcavation will also be dug on the other side of the same tracks where formerly passengers loaded and unloaded. May is insisting on his property 1ights in the tracks and still is asking for a new terminal site north of the Avenue. Abandonment of the railway line, however, looms, if May fails to get this new terminal, he has indicated. May owns a bus line running to Alex- andria, which he would expand with additional busses if the railway is abandoned. Others Making Progress. Other Federal building projects in other parts of the National Capital are making good progress. Up on Capitol Hill, the Architect of the Capitol will open bids October 21, for erection of the Supreme Court of the United States to rise on the site already ex- cavated on the north of the Library of Congress, from East Capitol street to Idaryland avenue northeast, and from First to Second streets northeast. The structure will cost about $7,500,000. The new House Office’” Building 15 about half completed and two other projects are about to begin—the pro- posed annex to the Library of Congress and the new wing to the Senate Office Building. Down in another part of the city, along Constitution _avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth _streets, pregress is being made on the new Public Health Service Building, where foundations are betng laid. Additional wrecking is to be cone on this site soon to tear away the old White House Ga- 1age and one remaining stable of the Quartermasier Corps of the Army. Bids for this were opened Friday and the contract will be let soon In addition to all this, three great Federal projects in the southwest sec- | tion of the city will get under way this Fall—the new Pedersl warehouse, between C and D, Se and Ninth | streets; the new heating plant, between ‘Thirteenth and Thil’iecn-nnd~a-hali,i C and D streets, and the second third | of the great extensible building fer the | Department of Agricuiture, to go be- tween Thirteenth, Thirteen-and-a-half, C and D streets. LABOR ASKS MACDONALD T0 YIELD HOUSE SEAT Party Votes 40 to 39 in In-| dorsing Premier's Resig- nation. By the Associated Press. SEAHAM HARBOR, England, Sep- tember 12.—By a vote of 40 to 39, the Labor party of this district today in- dorsed a recent resolution by its Execu- tive Ccmmittee calling upon Prime! Minister Ramsay MacDonzld to resign as representative of the district in the House of Commons. Mr. MacDonald already has said that repudiation by his constituency will ‘make no. difference in his present course , of action and that he will not resign as long as the national government Jasts, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 13, 1931—PART ONE. From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Menjou Undertakes Famous Ditrichstein Role at Rialto, T just about that era of our civilization when a bustle was the most important thing in a woman’s life and when the theater was more exciting than a furious 15-day trip across the ocean, Leo Ditrichstein, handsome pre-war stage idol, burst into the cpot- light in an amusing play called *“The Great Lover.” A brilliant satirical sketch of whei goes on bc 2 ind “the grand op- era lines,” this play took New York by storm, and for days the chandeliers at Delmonico’s and the “cover charge” at shen;‘y'a hem nothing Adolohe Menjou. D OSDINE bub ful man that Ditrichstein was, and how capable of having how many affairs! ‘The screen tries all this “over again this week at the Rialto, with Adolphe Menjou, famous for his clothes and the manner of lifting his left eyebrow, as the operatic male “diva,” whose mere batting of an eyelash makes ladies swoon in adulatory admiration. The result is amusing enough, what with neat little etchings of character inserted here and there. One must admit, however, that Mr. Menjou will probably disappoint those who once viewed the thespian manipulations of Ditrichstein. Men- Jjou is, of course, at a serious dis- advantage, since every time he has an_operatic aflt a blast of some profound tenor %omes roaring from off-stage, and shortly after the photographer, in apparent shame, shuts off the camera. To take the part of the idol of the opera world, and then to have to part one's teeth and mumble sweet nothings must have been an experience as uncom- fortable for the actor as it is an- noying to the audience. Forty- nately, however, that takes up but very litfle of the film's time. For the rest, the story concerns itsclf with the ambitions of a young girl to take the gilded Metropolitan Opera House by storm. This she does in an incredibly short time, by win- ning the affections of the great Menjou, and by singing (as nicely as she did here—it's Irene Dunne— in“Show Boat”) with very great— yes—"tears in her eyes.” For, of course, off stage young Neil Hamil ton, straight-laced lover of* the strong, square-shinned sort, is mak- ing amatory faces at her, and soon after carts her off from under Men- Jou’s very nose. The fact that Hamilton wins the gal, and that Menjou doesn't isn't provocative of much sorrow, since “the great lover” immediately plunges in all over again with some pert creature who had the state Toom next to him on his last oceanic trip—and so he, and the audience, are pretty much left wreathed in smiles. . It's a cheerful picture—with Men- Jjou not too good—but smaller “fry,” £uch as Ernest Torrence, Clff Ed- wards and blondine Baclanova, very, very excellent—particularly the gentleman who sings Wagner in the face of a continual barking over- ture from “Spits,” the fat diva's dog. E. de S. MELCHER. Unusually Good Cast Seen in Dramatic Offering at Earle. RATIFYING touches of good drama are observed in ‘“The Bargain,” presented on the screen at the Earle Theater. It may not be important that it was once a prize play, but that certainly does not ob- scure the fact that it has almost an all-star cast, headed by that master- full actor, Lewis Stone, and that all of them have given their most ca- pable attention to the creation of characters, for whom the author has provided a plot dealing with an irrepressible problem—the conflict between art and financial risk on one side and the certainty of af- fluence in business on the other. ‘Without examining all of the pre- cedents, it seems probable that in “The Bargain” there is to be found, for the first time on stage or film, the common experience of father and son in the abandonment of art for the sake of marriage, and the final choice which means the turn- ing of the back upon the occupation which is mere money-making. The parent is an enthusiast in painting and the son in architecture. For- tunes of two generations are splen- didly wovefl in this play. Mr. Stone adds another to the list of his finely done portraits of char- acters which represent both active and useful careers. There is much action in the story, and Mr. Stone is outstanding as he displays suc- ceeding examples of sacrifice of his own ambiitons for the success of others. His ability to convey thought by his method is a never- failing source of satisfaction to the theatergoer. Doris Kenyon, as the wife of this unusual figure in the business world, succeeds with the part which is essential to apprecia- tion of the personal and domestic character of the play, and gives that sure touch which is expected of the artist. Charles Butterworth, as a friend of the family, a type which is reminiscent of George Arliss, and Evalyn Knapp as the young man's flancee, are both well cast and put their best into the action. John Darrow, as the youth who is unde- cided between love and art; Oscar Apfel, as the exponent of the genu- ine business leader, and Una Mer- kel, as the maid who becomes the artist model for the family, are all excellent. Miss Merkel gives some of those flashes of distinction that charmed those who saw the Abra- ham Lincoln film. The stage presentation is very largely musical in its character and is headed by Lew Pollack, who brings from New York his company employed in lm,erprztmsf his theme songs and other compositions which have won popular favor. Others on the bill, all of whom are good, are Ada Brown, plantation “mammy”; Bentell & Gould, dancing xylophon- ists, and Bert Gordon and Vera Kingston in “Bits and Ple«:l; c’ c. Laurel and Hardy Appear In “Pardon Us” at Palace. THE recurrent rasp of the “Bronx cheer” is the virtual theme song of Laurel and Hardy's first full-length picture, “Pardon Us,” at Loew's Palace this week. It might well have served likewise as just castization of a picture which, ex- cept in a few brief sequences, is de- serving of no more elaborate con- sideration. The drolly futile Mr. Laurel and the elephantine Mr. Hardy are cast in a tale which supplies few oppor- tunities for the exercise of their re- spective talents for wistful and ag- gressive nonsense. Such bright spots as there are in the film belong chiefly to Mr. Laurel, whose inef- fectual, disconcerted timidity occa- sionally shines forth arrayed in the habiliments of splendid comedy. As an excuse for a plot, principal sequence, or whatever central struc- ture the film pufports to contain, the vehiclz is designed as a half- satire of the recent bevy of prison- life movies which have been thrust at the public. The heroes are incarcerated in a large prison, es- cape,~ are recaptured, unwittingly &ueg ’;) jail break and are pardoned. A burlesque of overcrowded peni- tentiary conditions, with Mr. Laurel demonstrating the tribulations of the seventh man in a six-man cell, is perhaps the most amusing particle offered. Again, Laurel's expression when some one hands him a ma- chine' gun under the table in the mess hall, just prior to the plotted break for freedom, is perhaps the funniest shot. Honors for the most incongruous scene should be awarded to the news cameraman who photographed a buxom movie comedienne singing & jazz selection, with appropriately undignified gestures, while the Vice President, Mr. Charles Curtis, looks on, and & uniformed band lined up on the Capitol steps plays the ac- companiment. This is called giving the movie star a proper welcome to ‘Washington. A boring filmdom imitation of Ripley's “Believe It or Not" curiosi- ties, a partially exciting, but withal too lengthy sea-fishing short and other items complete the Palace screen program. The stage show, featuring Char- ney and Jean, Joyce Coles and others, seemed to please the audi- ence. R.B.P.,Jr “An American Tragedy” Continues for a Second Week. OME of the master minds of cinemadom are beginning to think that perhaps Mr. Dreiser's tears were false as crocodiles’ and that the unerthly howls which he unleashed when first he saw the screen version cf his “American Tragecy” (still flourishing at the Metropolitan) were produced by studio press agents standing without the theater's gates. Certainly Prof. Dreiser has little to get angered over—since whether he believes that Phillips Holmes' per- formance is brittle and unnecessarily cold, whether he suspects that no boy could ever drown a girl with such a wistful smile as Sylvia Sidney supplies, and whether he “shame” over the murder and “hur- rah” when the noose hovers omi- nously above Clive's comely throat, he must admit that his film is, for the most part,. vitally absorbing. Hollywood, of course, had to stick to its guns and insert an exaggerated picture of a “debutante” Summer “camp,” replete with Hollywoodiana and a swarm of young couples un- able to suppress their emotions. In- to this garish atmosphere, young Clive, erstwhile bell bcy extraordi- nary, son of a psalm-singing Mid- west family, factory werker and exe- cutioner of the girl whom he had promised to marry, sinks evidently as easily as though he had been born to it. In other words, Mr. Holmes makes you believe that he could be quite at home in such surmundlnia‘ when according to Hoyle and the common characteristics of man, he should have been as uncomfortably self-conscious as a Scotchman in a five-and-ten-cent store Mr. Holmes has, however, been de- scribed as “perfect” by many who have read the book and who feel that his method of glassy indiffer- ence to everything is what Clive actually was born with—that, in other words, as a “misfit” he is superlatively successful. Sylvia Sidney. to our way of think- ing, and Irving Pichel make more of their small parts than Holmes does out of his big one (his voice is that same high monotone which has never changed in any of his films) —and, of course, as you have heard by now, the court room scene s one of the important scenes in all the recordings of cinema doings. E. de 8. M. “This Modern Age” Held Over At Loew’s Columblia. ARGE crowds in attendance at “This Modern Age.” now show- ing in Loew's Columbia, have re- sulted in a hold-over for the second week in Washington. Picture-goers are thereby offered the cpportunity to view the resplendent Miss Craw- ford in a strained and overwrought saga justified, perhaps, by the crowds which attend it. Neil Hamilton, as the Back Bay lover, and Pauline Frederick, as Joan Crawford's mother, assist the star in her efforts to salvage a fantastic story of a young lady whose ro- mance with an aristocratic swain is thwarted (only temporarily, as you already had guessed) because her mother has a habit of eccepting houses and motors and other memo- rabilia from a gentleman with whom she has neglected to “middle-aisle it.” The lovers separate because of prejudice arising from this immod- est circumstance, but after some glittering glycerin misery and a few bitter laughs of disappointment all round, Bostonian respectability is discredited and true love triumphs 30 seconds before the final fade-out. Willlam T. Tilden II repeats the second of his talkle tennis lessons to head the added program fea- tures. R.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘Three deaths, at least six persons seriously burned, more than 300 home- less and property damage of upward of $1,000,000, were reported last night from fires which swept over forest areas of several States, tinder dry from a parching September sun. Near Grygla, Marshall County, in Northern Minnesota, the loss of life was concentrated. There Marvin Myrold, 29; Alfred Bogan, 69, and a youth of 16, whose name was not learned, dled in the blaze which Friday night destroyed about 30 homes along with barns and live stock. Six persons were burned seriously, but .three school children at first thought victims of the flames were located. The extent of the devastation was not learned until forest patrolmen trekked into the area afoot yesterday. On the Iron River, in upper Michi- gan, 75 fire fighters, who were trapped by a backfire in the timber, were re- ported by Fire Warden Marvin Anthony to have succeeded in c‘\tmlllng the flames. Warden Anthony waded the narrow river to bring word of their situation. Three other Minnesota blazes—in Lake of the Woods County, along the Canadian border; on Ludlow Island, near Red Lake, and near Big Falls, Koochiching County; burned out set- tlers' dwellings, highway bridges and a bridge of the Minnesota & Inter- national Railroad. The fires cut off communication between North Central Minnesota and the border. In South Dakota, reports from Rapid City said that 600 volunteers had suc- ceeded in controlling fires which ate their way through several thousand | acres of timber in Pennington County. | Two towns in the State, in the path of the flames which burned along a front of 7 to 10 miles in extent, were believed out of danger. They were Nahant and Rochford. Heavy showers swept the Minnesota areas last night, minimizing the hazard.

Such a type familiar to us as a cruiser was the frigate of old. To the Govern- ment in the 1790s—appalled at the cost of “ships-of-the-line,” frigates able to make rapld attacks on an enemy's maritime commerce—lone wolves of the sea independent of fleet or fortified base support were the types of ships con- sidered the logical answer to the ques- tion of naval organization. In the splendid aggregation of sails- meaning speed; a battery of fifty-six 24- pounders—meaning reach and sides of 22 inches for protection, Humphreys ex- ceeded expectations and created a beau- tiful fighting ship. Immune, though she was to shell or capture, peace brought disuse; with security, age began its deadly disintegration. ‘The history of the old ship for the last hundred years is the history of man attempting to arrest decay.

Again the ravages of time were more apparent than ever on the Constitution. In the slow procession of years the rugged old boat eased along in her normal period of existence has wearily seen the rapid declension of ,wooden ships and rise of strange, steaming craft of quite another pattern. | Apprehensively, the observers in the | Navy Yard contemplated the evident fact that to save “Old Ironsides” a con- | siderable expenditure of mcrey would be needed. The passage of years has brought loss of material and departures from early | design and equipment. The harnessing of the guns would | present a problem for most students. | At one time a charitable Government permitted and encouraged the disposal of these cannon. Where are these cant- non today? Lord Chosen as Director. A commendation, issued from the office of the Secretary of the Navy on July 3, 1930, reads as follows: “The rebuilding of ‘Old Ironsides’ is an historic and outstanding achieve- ment in the art of wooden shipbuilding * * * a notable feat that required tech- nical knowledge and experience in wooden shipbuilding practices. * * * Tre work which has been accomplished in restoring ‘Old Ironsides’ thus far is a great success, and it has been accom- plished as the result of the untiring physical effort, careful study and long hours of work on the part of Lieut. John Able Lord.” From Maine Lieut. Lord obtained 28 men, among whom were 18 first-class shipwrights and caulkers; also sundry old-style devices—among which is a “futtock saw”—all stragglers in the de- cadent art from the days when ship- building in wood was a leading industry. From afar were obtained lengthy Douglas firs from which new masts were to issue. All sections of the ccun- try were drawn on for lumber; from the Commodore's Pond at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla., great, solid oak timbers that reposed for as many | es 50 years, entirely submerged in water, were brought north to share in the re-establishment of the “iron” sides.

Quaintly expressed, the Constitution was “an old man propped up in bed with his arms and legs broken.” In this pitiable situation lasting for about two years and eight months the ship experienced a species of rebirth.
