A=6 HOLY HOUR-SERVEE AT SHRNE TNEHT Catholic University Rector, Faculty and Students to Take Part in Observance. A special program has been ar-, ranged to take place at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception et Cotholic University from 7 to 8 o'clock tonight in observance of the world-wide holy hour proclaimed by Pope Pius XI. ‘The observance will take place in the crypt of the shrine, with the rector, faculty and students of Catholic University participating. Right Rev. Msgr. James H. Ryan, rectcr, and Rev. Francis Augustine Walsh, regent of the seminary, will officiate. Rev. Dr. Edward G. Roelker ‘will be the master of ceremonies. Sacrament and Hymns, Following entrance of the facul and students at 7 o'clock, there be exposition of the most blessed sacrament at 7:15, with hymns, read- ing of the Pope's instructions :ndl recitation of the gospel. The sermon then will be preached. The hymn, “Stabat Mater,” will be sung in Gregorian chant by the uni- versity choir under the direction of Leo Behrendt. Litany of the saints will be chanted by two students from the university seminary, with re- sponses by the congregation. Bene- diction will follow. Pope Plus, in his letter proclaiming the holy hour, said: “Among the scared mysteries of the redemption of man- kind—the nineteenth centenary cele- bration of which is imminent—one of the most touching for every Christian who is not insensible to the sufferings of his Lord, is that of the agony of Jesus in the Garden of Olives, when His Divine Heart, concerned more with the frightful sight of human iniquities than with the cruel expiation He would have to make for them, deigned to de- sire to reveal the terrible sufferings His most bitter agony, of which the sweat of blood was only the external manifestation—eloquent,, but inade- quate, in view of the internal martyr- dom: ‘Tristis est animea mea usque ad morten. Date Most Suitable, “Now it seems just and opportune that, on the threshold of the Holy year, one of the first solemn commemora- tions should be consecrated precisely to this first cruel step of the Redeemer in the Way of the Passion. To com- memorate that most holy agony and to compensate for the iniquities which were its cause, devout souls formerly observed the pious exercise of the holy hour on the Thursday preceding the first Friday of the month. We believe that the first Thursday of April, which happily coincides with the first Thurs- day of the Holy year, is the most suit- able date for this commemoration.” el i o ENTRIES FOR DOG SHOW ACCEPTED UNTIL MONDAY Entries for the fourth annual dog show of the National Capital Kennel Club will be accepted until April 10, Joseph O'Hare, president of the organ- ization, announced today.

By E. de S. MELCHER Wynyard and Hepburn Screen Sensations of the Year. ‘WO ladies of widely different types are the sbreen sensa- tions of the current year. Hepburn, now featured in “Christo- pher Strong.” are the most conspicu- ous ladies of the screen today. And because screen gentlemen seem curiously nega- tive this season, they take the place of such former idols as Mr. _Valentino, or Mr. Wally Reid, or Betty Blythe in her beaded “Queen of Shebu” days or even Mary Miles (where is she?) Minter, who was furi- ously popular for & short time during the long Mary Pickford semester. ‘Miss Wynyard and Miss Hepburn —representing distinct opposites— are proof of the fact that the stage is more akin to the screen than it ever was before—and that acting in the talkies is a question of talent and personality, as opposed to the plain profile and close-up school of former years. L Diana Wynyard , in & few months, given the streen a distinc- tion which it has never had before. She has conquered what seemed to be the unconquerable. ~She has brought to the screen “mother roles” which are not just sugar and senti- ment and bad make-up. She has given to “lady mothers” a touch of reality—s homelike reality—which 1o actress before her has done. And she has combined beauty with charm, and charm with ' conserva- tism, with the Tesult that the few roles she has played stand out as bright highlights in a season when there were, perhaps, more dramatic highlights—but none so sure or so permanently endowed with wisdom, ‘with grace and with personality. Miss Wynyard represents the age of sentiment and Victorian lavender and lace, which became her so well in “Cavalcade.” She is young—and Diana Wrynyard, yet she is not so beautiful when she is young on the screen as when she has retouched her hair with powder and has put herself into a more advanced generation. Those who have seen her this week in “Men Must Fight,” as also in “Caval- cade,” will bear witness to this fact. Across from her and diametrically opposed stands Katherine Hepburn— young, gly and curiously attractive. She is the “modern” type—without lavender, without lace and with none of the soft sentiment which charac- terizes Miss Wynyard. She is the sort of girl who, as in “Christopher Strong,” you would expect might turn aviatrix. You might expect her to do anything. The first American Garbo, she seems to have clicked, because she is unlike any one be- fore her, because she is easy going, wide-mouthed, bright-eyed, awkward when she walks, handsome when she smiles, and so ugly sometimes (in the manner of Garbo) that you wonder how she climbed the heights. ‘That she is popular far in advance of her time (the usual cinema time) is attested to by the fact that Man- ager Hardie Meakin of Keith’s The- ater was visited yesterday by a dis- tinguished lady, who ran breath- lessly uf to his sanctum and, apolo- gizing for intruding, said: “May I Pplease, Mr. Meakin, buy a ticket to- day for tomorrow—what I means is, I should like a ticket to see Miss Hepburn—and I don't particularly want to stand in line—so—" So Manager Hardie Meakin smiled, with his best Keith's smile, and handed her a ticket—which it is assured she is using today. Miss Hepburn is one of the most popular screen “finds” todey, and Miss Wynyard is without question the most popular. The former is & “vogue,” the latter is a sure per- Full Feeling After Meals Don’t suffer agony after feeling, heartburn, belching and gastric dis- ting. ‘That full ), due to excessive acids in the stomach, is quickly and safely relieved compounded of tested ingre. dients.

Clare Tree Major, sponsor and director of this group, will play two small parts in the production, which is attract- ing much attention in this city. Ernest Truex, late of “Whistling in the Dark.” which was shown recently at the Columbia Theater, will be co- starred with Peggy Wood in “Best Seller,” which comes to the National the week of April 17. The follow- ing is a comment on this play by s noted Parisian dramatic critic who attended the Paris opening: “Mr. Bourdet proves, once and for all, in his new play (then called ‘Just Out’), that, whatever the sub- ject matter may be, a playwright of true inventive genius can strike a completely original note in his treat- ment. Jaded wits who complain about the limitations of plot and story offered a playwright can learn from Bourdet that a clever writer can take old silver and make it sparkle.” “Rocsevelt, the Man of the Hour,” D. C, THURSDAY, & special two-reel short subject, will be shown tomorrow for the first time at Loew’s Palace. It is rumored that “Mussolini Speaks” may be featured here next ‘week at a noted cinema house. BOY LEADERS TO MEET Selected Members of Boy Scouts to Convene April 18. Patrol leaders, troop scribes and other junior leaders of the Boy Scout troops will assemble on Tuesday, April 18, at z::ncg,m.. at the Western urch, to “check up on themselves” and to deliberate the topic “The Patrol Leader and His Job.” All who attend will have been recom- mended by their Scoutmasters as suc- cessful leaders of other boys, eager to learn more about their jobs. The pro- gram will include games, handicraft,| songs and stunts. APRIL 6, 1933. MUSIC ROTARY FEATURE American U.

Louis, Toledo, Detroit and intermediate points previously served only by local trains. The BROAD- WAY LIMITED now makes the trip be- tween New York and Chicago ia 18 hours. On all other trains extra fares have been discontinued, making both coach and Pull- man travel mare economical. Sleeping car service between New England and the West has been increased, Dining cars have been equipped with continous ceoling and air<onditioning tus and in hot weather, parlar, and coach cars are now pre-cooled at important terminals. Faster and more flezible freight service bas been installed between Pittsburgh and New and between the latter and the South, West and the Delmarva Pen- insula. Store door collection and delivery of less than carload freight has been estab- lished experimentally at many places and will be extended as conditions warraat. ELECTRIFICATION Electric passenger train service between New York and Philadelphia was established on January 16, 1933. This service, with the electrified operation already installed be- tween Mddgh‘u and Wilmi Del,, completes the first unit of the pany's distance electrification project, which will eventually include both and freight train operation bet: New York and Washington. T ice and all the suburban lines in the PROGRESS ON OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Sufficient facilities were installed to wrni! operation of the New York- ashington trains through the new West Philadelphia terminal on March 13, 1933, when the old West Philadelphia Station ‘'was abandoned. Progress continued on the Company's other major improvement pro- jects, including those at Newark, N. J., Baltimore,Md., Chicago,ll., Cincinnati,O., and at many other places on the System where important additions and better- ments have been undertaken. RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION 13, 1933, the Four-System dating railroads in the east (excluding New England) and gradual grouping of the rail- roads allocated to the four systems will be effected as general business conditions it B M while pegotiatsots were concladed for the unification of operations of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad controlied by the Pennsylvania and the Atlantic City Railroad controlled by the Reading with a view to eliminating losses due’ both to duplication of services and facilities and to the increased diversion of the trafic of these railroads to highway vr‘;:.;la. Under the unification agreement, which is subject to the approval of the InterstateCommerce Commission, the Pennsylvania will own two-thirds and the Reading one-third of the stock in the operating company. STOCKHOLDERS Ownership of the capital stock of the Company on December 31, 1933, was more widespread than ever before, the number of shareholders o that date being 350,506, an increase during the year of 4,997. The large investment represented by the stock mf other outstanding securities of the Company together with the interest of the employes and the public are regarded by the Management as a responaibility com- manding its utmost efforts. Achievement of the results recorded above, notwithstanding extremely adverse business conditions, reflects outstanding credit upon the officers and employes. The stockholders and bondholders can cooperate with them in a most effective way and promote our mutual interests by continuing their own efforts to secure additional passenger and freight traffic for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
