BAS TANKAOCATION T0 BE PROTESTED Chillum Heights Citizens Plan to Lodge Complaint at Hearing Monday. Plans for presenting a strong protest | Mongday morning at the public hearing | before the Public Utilities Commission against the proposed erection of a large {lluminating gas tank near the Balti- | more & Ohio Raflroad tracks and Riggs road northeast were mapped last night at a8 meeting of the Chillum Heights Citizens' Association The meeting, held in the Keene Echool, was marked by addresses de- signed to emphasize the harmful ef- fects the tank would have on the sur- Tounding community Will See Officials. In addition. ar:angements were made | for Finis D. Morris, member of the Chillum Heights group, and W. H. Sea- cuist, president of the Manor Park Citi- gens’ Association. to confer today with officials of the Washington Gas Light Co. to learn if they would not change their plans for building the tank on the proposed location Thomas W. Joy, president of the Chillum Heights Association, told of letters having been sent to a number of members of Congress asking their aid to prevent the building of the tank. A resolution was adopted to canvass the various members of the Chillum Helghts group to inform them of the ublic hearing Monday—in order that a jarge group of citizens might attend Seaquist Speaks. Mr. Seaquist declared the tank would have a harmful effect to the community for miles around. It would be unsightly and odors from it would be disagree- e, he said. Members of the Manor Park Asso- eiation and representatives from a num- ber of other citizens’ groups are ex- ted to join in the protest, it was snnounced last night. A resolution was adopted approving for the expansion of the public brary system in the District of Co- lumbia.

WASHINGTON From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Jean Harlow. Jean Harlow in Person And on Screen at Palace. 1SS JEAN HARLOW, known to cinema legions \:fn':;"!' “original platinum blond, m.r;sze s:;n this week in person on the stage of Loew's Palace as well as on the screen. She does not, incidentally, assume the ti- tle role in “The Beast of the City." the cur- rent film at- traction—net er is this beas a Mr. Tarzan who is exciting patrons only a block or two away. Those who have seen this recent film will realize that the “beast” is a common gar- den variety of gangster, and that Miss Har- low, be‘ore the camera, assumes the role of a sister- crook who loses her heart tempo- rarily at sight of a “copper.” While the film attraction is not particularly important, the featured lady at this week’s entertainment pavilion undoubtedly is. Curio seekers will discover that she is a slim, eupeptic lady, whose English is very correct and who is totally unlike what she is commonly de- picted as before the screen. Instead of saying “Hello, folks!” and slap- ping her sides in low-brow exulta- tion, Miss Harlow apprars belcre the footlights. clad in gueenly whit2, her blond tre: whiter than any one had suspected. a statuesque rep- lica of what she has been supposed to be in the celluloid medium. In- stead, too, of bursting into unmodu- lated song. or tripping the light fantastic, she smiles sweetly, an- swers the questions put to her by Mr. Bert Frohman (who, of course, has a very good time) and is, f anything, rather over-loquacious than otherwise. At any rate, she is a lady of extra charm who does nothing in particular on the stage— but does it very well. On the screen she is less success- ful in a second-rate film, which has to do with the glorification (sup- posedly) of the police force. The story concerns an honest chief-of- the-police who fights his way through crime, and ends by get- ting it in the neck on account of a brother who has played him false but who likewise manages to be some kind of a martyr before he dies. Headed by a preface which has been dug from. one of Presi- dent Hoover's addresses—this seems as though it should be vastly im- portant—but unfortunately isn't. Walter Huston, who gets “gooder and gooder” daily on the screen, plays the role of stalwart Jim Fitz- pafrick, who finally succumbs in a veritable slaughter of crime and po- licemen; andeothers seen to lesser and greater advantage are Wallace Ford (a good actor), Dorothy Pe- terson (a good actress) and Jean Hersholt, whom you won't recognize without a mustache. The stage show, “Westward Hi! Ho!" is way above the average, including a talented group of Ches- ter Hale Girls, Don Barclay, the Carlton Brothers, and a skit in which Mr. Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde are taken for a grand and glorious “ride.” This, incidentally, features Bob Pitkin and Marion Eddy. Mr. Frohman also nn?s his new song about a “Shanty.” which the audience rewarded with “salvos” and “salvos” of applause. E. de 8. MELCHER. “The Final Edition” Has an Outstanding Quality. ¢'T"HE FINAL EDITION,” the new picture offering at the Warner-Metropolitan Theater, has one quality possessed by few news- paper pictures. Whatever else may be said about the show, its charac- ters look and act like newspaper men in the flesh. This result 1s refreshing, because so many pic- tures either glorifying or lampoon- ing the Fourth Estate give the im- pression that they have been writ- ten, directed and acted by people who never had darkened the door- way of even a country weekly. It is easy to imagine that almost every member of the cast of “The Final Edition” actually has known the agony of trying to “catch” an edition, or the satisfaction of “drop- ping” a big story on a less alert competitor. All of which adds im- mensely to the quality of the show, at least from the standpoint of a newspaper man It even seems as though Mae Clarke, who plays the role of Ann ‘Woodman, was selected for the part because she is far from beautiful. Newspaper women as a class are not distinguished in real life for win- ning beauty contests. As a rule they have their points, but pulchri- tude, perhaps, isn't outstanding. The plot of the story is full of action, but a trifie shaky. A police commissioner is murdered for his drive against criminals. His widow could have named the slayer in five minutes at the rogues’ gallery. That, however, would have been al- together too simple. Instead, Miss Woodman flirts with gunmen, death and whatnot to solve the crime Nevertheless, the show is enter- taining. Afier all, nothing else mat- ters, D. B. W “Steady Company” at Rialto Is Comedy With Much Action. INCREASING popularity of Zasu Pitts in comedy roles on the screen gives a sort of magnetic im- portance to the play “Steady Com- pany,” offered at the Rialto. Miss Pitts presents only an incidental character in the story, but her position as one of the unique person- alities of the studios gives a quality of amusing distinction to anything that she undertakes. In this pro- duction at the Rialto the plot i carried out by June Clyde an Norman Foster, with the com artist as a friend of the couple. One of the best bits in the play is her performance as a telephone opera- tor while the radio is reporting the fortunes of a young pugilist. whose fight as reported is a step toward the championship title. The plot is light and irresponsible enough to be well adapted to the purposes of the humorist, who has introduced some really human dia. logue and a sufficient amount of rough sentiment, while the chief - —_— Dine at THE SILVER GRILL A wide choice of en- trees, the cream of fresh, Spring vege- tables, wonderful salads, hot breads, delicious desserts, Dinner 75c 5:30 to 8:30 JeBROADMOOR. Connecticaf tAve. atPorter features of the action are dependent on the exciting scenes at the ring- side, of which there is an abundance The incidents are developed on a slender thread, which has the merit, however, of revealing some impelling motives that are found in the lives of a young couple, with ambition and uncertainty as to the future of a truck driver and his accidental fiancee. June Clyde and Norman Foster succeed in giving excellent impres- slons of the unconventional roles of these two young people. whose lives are made up of a_constant succession of surprises. While the persons that they present are of the common variety, there is art in their success with them. The Rialto also has the usual number of short films, including an elaborate animated cartoon which displays originality. D.C.C “Disorderly Conduct,” at Fox, Is Racketeer Production. ¢¢])ISORDERLY CONDUCT," at the Fox Theater, ray be ac- cepted as_the development of the racketeer battle against the law at the point where it touches the polize department of the big city. Proo- ably its most effective phase is the clear picture of the alert young woman, daughter of a wealthy leader in contraband trade, who is roman- tically associated with an officer of the police and must travel the un- certain road of fighting a foe Who is also destined to be a friend. In this respect the story of “Disorderly Con- duct” is similar to a multitude of other stories in which warfare is put into fiction There is very little suggestion of tre gangster kingdom. fo: the per- sonalities involved are 21l of the tvpe of thore who reap the big rewards from illegal traffic rather than those who engage in the battles for con- trol. There are, however, some of the rougher phases of gang life. in the course of which a child is seri- ously wounded. In the part of the young woman, whose officer admirer charges her with violating the city regulations, this giving the name to the piece. Sally Eilers has an exceptional op- portunity to create distinctive char- acter of the alert, somewhat ruth- Jess sort, which, however, is not lack- ing in aporeciation of the finer qualities. Spencer Tracy. as the officer also undertakes a combina- tion of diverse qualities, as when he surrenders temporarily to the forces of gang domination and graft. only to suffer a violent reaction when the child is made a victim of his own battle. El Brendel, Ralph Morgan, Ralph Bellamy, Allen Dinebart and several other good actors take their share of the vigorous proceedings. The production is notable chiefly for its display of human characters. One of the delightful features of the performance is the fine playing of the overture to the opera “Martha,” under the direction of a guest conductor, Phil Lampkin. The usual short filrs are shown, and the stage program, Fanchon and Marco’s “Blick and White" Icea, is provided with attractive cetting and costum- ing. with good dancing. The fea- tured number is the radio act by Col. Stoopnsgle and Budd (Taylor and Hulick), while the other acts are given by Clifton and Brent, gro- tesque performers: Dolly Kramer, comedienne: Rose Glasby, dramatic soprano; Marie Le Flohic. acrobatic dancer, and Margaret Alice Head, pianist. D.C.C. “Tarzan, the Ape Man.” Still Popular at Columbia. TH! reasons for the success of “Tarzan, the Ape Man." in its second week at Loew’s Col bia, are legion. First, it is replete with the most exhilarating animals possibly since Noah's Ark: secondly, its theme is brimful of the kind of excitement which boys from 9 to 90 are bound to enjoy: thirdly, its ro- mance is so_impossible that it fairly roars with glamour:fourthly, its hero is the first “talkie” hero who is unable to talk: fifthly, its heroine resigns herself to love,in the jungle after the mcst strenuous adagio dance (when she is tossed from tree to tree by strong-armed apes) ever devised by the cinema: sixthy, Mr. Weissmuller's swimming down a river, pursued by a carnivorous crocodile, is a feat which must have astonished even the crocodile: and, seventhly, it is the kind of adventur- ous h-kum which bristles with that lure that hot, hot countries always have inspired. The pub’ic has taken “Tarzan” under its wing in a big w: ‘This is not to be wondered at. By not tak- ing itself as seriously as did old man “Trader Horn,” it comes right out in the crpen and says, “You don't have to believe this if you don't want to, but if yo1 do——" and, with that, it “heaves” one of its characters off a mammoth cliff into what looks like an Appalachian valley (far re- moved from animal-bitten Africa), and indulges in other excitements which are equally fantastic Mr. Weissmuller, the first back-to- nature, non-talkie hero, is an ideal Tarzan—and one who knows his jungle onions. Blessed with muscles of steel and a shock of unbrushable hair, he rips through this legend with a splendid disregard for sophistication. He looks, too, as i b b S B friend of all those apes. Mr. Weiss- muller is aided in his “love interest” by that extremely likable Maureen O'Sullivan, who squeals nicely, and seems like just the sort of girl-to which Tarzan might have taken a fancy. E. de 5. M. “Berkeley Square” By the Local Theater Guild. R. BALDERSTONE'S fantastical and semi-whimsical merging of the present and the past in “Berke- ley Square,” a comedy, one might say, of ancestral errors, was under- taken last night by the Drama Guild of Washington for the benefit of a large audience at the Wardmarf Park Theater, which received it with aver- age enthusiasm. An attractive setting, coffee in the lobby (a la New York Theater Guild) and roles played by Grace Peters Johnson, Caroline McKinley, Thomas Cahill and one or two others were the mainstay of an evening which was not by any means up to the usual standard of this gifted group. In the first place, the casting depart- ment seems to have gone somewhat astray in its allotment of the prin- cipal roles, and in the second place the actors spoke their lines with less assurance and less whimsy than the attractive atmosphere created by the author warrants. A slow beginning, too, did much towards dampening a performance which later on be- came more ingratiating. The second act, in its initial stages, was the best, Miss McKinley being as gracefully statuesque as a porcelain doll, Mrs. Johnson contributing here and there professional zealousness, and Mr. Cahill giving a touch to it which few others achieved. Bernard Barton, in the much- famed Leslie Howard role, gave an earnest and sincere performance, which, however, was a trifie too breathless to be quite convincing: Eleanor Wells and Dorothy Crosby were attrac . but not too audible, heroines, and Murray Sheehan bur- Jesqued his role with sometimes amus- ing results. Others who made much of lesser roles were Ray Montgomery and Maurice Jarvis, and James Otis Porter, who in the opening scene, however, walked hand in hand with & voice from the wings. A valiant attempt this—and one that will probably be improved to- night, when the performance will be repeated. E. deS. M. \ | | i | Gotham Suspect Denies Knowledge | of Forgery Charge. NEW YORK, April 2 (#).— Max Thurston, 32, a butcher accused of for- | gery in_ Calexico, Calif., was held in $1500 bail yesterday by Magistrate Adolph Stern for examination Tuesday. He was arrested last night on a war- | rant charging forgery signed by W. A. | Lorenz, a justice of the peace in Cal- exico. Thurston, in court, said he was in Calexico on June 9, 1930, the date of the alleged forgery, but denied know- | ing anything about the charge, speci- fications of which were not given in the warrant.

C., SATURDAY SHIPPING BOARD SELECTION HELD UP President Hopes for Econo- mies Through Reorganizing Merchant Marine. Hopeful that Congress will enact leg-| islation to bring about the reorganiza-1 tion of the American merchant marine | with a view to effecting drastic reduc- | tion of expenditures, President Hoover | is going to hold off making any ap- pointment for the present to the United | States Shipping Board to fill the va- cancy caused by the recent death of | E. C. Plummer. | If this reorganization is effected the situation as to the membership of the | Shipping Board will be greatly altered | and the President said today, while| discussing the matter at his regular | newspaper conference, that he does not propose to fill this vacancy untll the n]muer of reorganization has been set- tled The President stated in full: “I do not propose to fill the vacancy on the Ship- ping Board crzated by the death of Mr. Plummer, for the present. I am in hopes that Congress will pass the legis- lation necesasry to reorganize the whole | of our merchant marine activities in| order that we may make drastic reduc- | tion of expenditures in this session. If | so, the situation as to membership of | the board might be greatly altered. Impertance Pointed Out. “I have pointed out in messages and elsewhere on several occasions the im- portance of this matter in production of sound economy. We have merchant marine activities in many different de- partments and independent establish- ments. We now expend in ald and lcans to the merchant marine services directly and indirectly about $100. 000,000 per annum. We cannot remedy the' situation without legislation. The present Shipping Board should be abol- ished. Its administrative functions should be transferred to the depart- | ments. This is not a criticism of '.hr’ board, but a criticism of an lmposslhle‘ and expensive form of reorganization and divided responsibility. “The board was designed originally for | regulatory purposes and was sst up by Congress independently of the Execu- tive. It has been subsequently given enormous administrative and financial functions. The president has no au- thority or control over its activities, With regional and bi-partisan basis of selection, together with independence | from all control, except the indirect pressures of Congress, it has had ex- treme difficulty in functioning cohe- sively, and in any event no board or commissioner can successfully func- tion in executive work. Moreover, the board’s authority in certain matters is divided with the Postmaster General. We are under the law giving ships sub- sidies as mail contracts. The Post- master General necessarily looks at them as a matter of mail, the Shipping Board as a matt°r of trade routes, and a matter of selling ships with a mail | subsidy attachment. There can be no adequate check or co-ordinated direc- tion of expenditure or commitments. “There is a function in regulation of shipping rates which should be extended to intercoastal rates and to inland | water rates which is a much needed function for the development of ship- ping, which could be administered at a comparitively small sum per annum by a new organism comprised of the pres- ent members of the Shipping Board, for their experience is most valuable. Drastic Steps Called For. “As I have said, there are many other merchant marine activities in the Gov- ernment, and if we are to secure real economies we must have drastic con- solidation and more definite responsi- bility."

The| President did not specify to what | department he would assign the pro- posed assistant secretary to mer- chant marine, but it is generally under- stood from informal talks with the President that he has the Department | of Commerce in mind for greater part of the administrative work of the mer- chant marine activities. The President’s contention in the | matter of effective reorganization is that executive and administrative func- tions shouid hive single-headed respon- | sibility and that advisory, regulatory performed by boards and commissions. By the adoption of this general prin- ciple, the President has pointed out that the expense and lack of efficiency because of divided responsibility could be eliminated. .. RELEF DELAY $600,000 Proposal Should Have Been in Separate Measure, He Says. Delay in making an emergency ap- propriation of $600,000 for relief work in the District to supplement from public funds the community chest con- tributions, as asked by President Hoover and the Budget Bureau, is due to the fact that the request came to Congress in the form of a supplemental estimate of appropriations for the 1933 budget. Chairman Cannon of the subcommittee drafting the District appropriation bill explained today. “We have absolutely no jurisdiction except to consider this item with others offered for inclusion in the 1933 District appropriation bill,” said Chairman Cannon. “We have considered the President’s recommendation and will | act upon it, for inclusion in the Dis- trict appropriation bill, just as soon as | we are furnished with the information we have asked from those who are ad- ministering relief work in the District.” Mr. Cannon and other members of his committee explained that if this appropriation is approved by the sub- committee and included in the bill, as seems probable, it will carry a provision that it be immediately available, which means that it could be used as soon as the bill passes both House and Sen- ate and is signed by the President, instead of waiting until the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1. If the District official relief workers, the Budget Bureau and the President intended to have the fund made avail- able at once as an emergency measure the proposal should have been put into a separate bill to divert part of the Municipal Center appropriation for this purpose, Mr. Cannon said.
