B—12 = AMU SEMENTS. Will Rogers at His Best In New Picture at Palace Sunny Comedian Improves With Age. and the Stary Is a Good One—Charles Laughton a Screen Hitin "Ruggles of Red Gap.™ BY E. de S. MELCHER, ILL ROGERS continues of sunshine in “Life B to dispense hls particular brand egins at 40,” a sprightly, good- humored yarn that should please every cash customer on the market. Palace always have—and maybe even audiences wm find him as they better than t:at—with his gift for generosity, shambling philosc phy and kindliness sticking its neck out at every corner. While the Fox company seldom | varies its Rogers formula, in this case | the cards have been stacked with the | greatest possible skill and the result is the sort of good-natured entertain- ment that should tickle the fancy of everyone from 8 to 80. Rogers has never been in finer trim than he is as this small town news- paper publisher whose crowning suc- cess comes when he proves that Richard Cromwell didn't take that| $3000 from the bank after all. He| goes through the film shaking his head at the unkind words of neigh- bors and bank presidents, harbors young Mr. Cromwell, who is looked | upon with scorn, and sees to it that the lad falls in love with Rochelle Hudson, a young lady who is, as they say. an “oncomer” in the films. | Just where the title of the picture fits in isn't quite clear. Except that Rogers tells an old fogy that instead | of making up his mind to die. he should scout around for a rich widow —something which the fogy does. And | in the last scene you have the satis- faction of seeing Rogers mot only welcome the widow home, but tuck | her under his arm and do & rip- roaring fox-trot with her. This philosophy should appeal to those who are over 40 and are be- ginning to think about the next world. If that crumpled up little old man can go out and get a snappy widow with blonde hair and an agreeable disposition, why then life beyond 40 should become not only a joy but a! paradise. N Mr. Rogers' cast supports him agreeably—the gentleman who whittles the wood stealing the picture now and again—and Jane Darwell around as the goodly neighbor. Mr. Cromwell is e e LEGAL NOTICES.

[ * kX X MR- ROGERS having plunged us into this cheerful mood, it is easy to continue with reflections on “Ruggles of Red Gap,” just around the corner. Here is the merriest comedy of the year, acted by a superla~ tive cast, and putting Charles Laugh- ton on the map as England's Charlie Chaplin. While Mr. Laughton’s feet and hands have little to do with it, his facial expressions alone are worth a trip to the Earle, and if you don’t split your sides when he does a little nipping with Ruggles at that cafe, then you don't deserve to split your sides at all. “Ruggles” not only presents Laugh- ton in a new role, surprisingly effective dramatic scene— | the recitation of that Gettysburg ad- diess which you must already have heard a good deal about. This is said skill, with such calm and such dignity, that coming as it does in the midst of a hurly-burly it is all the more effec- tive. | The story of a valet masquerading | as an English lord is, of course, not cxactly new. But since it is played by Laughton and by Mary Boland. Charles Ruggles. Maude Eburn and Zasu Pitts, it often secms very fresh indeed. Miss Pitts appears as a Red Gap kitchen queen who ensnared | Laughton by not only her looks but | her culinary skill, and who eventually becomes Red Gap's foremost cuisin- iere. It's all swell fun, The stage show features not only those amazing acrobats, Park and Clifford, who sent out the season's best Christmas cards, but also the Eton Boys and Do-Re-Mi, Grace De with Eddie Stuart and Dot Bonna and Teddy, as well as De Roze. tops, and so are Do-Re-Mi. these anon.

Exhibits the Frenchman in a Dual Role—Herb Williams Heads Stage Show of Merit. NE of the great virtues of the new film at Loew's Fox is that it is as unlike its Pari- n namesake, the “Folies Bergere,” as possible. Wheve- as that lugubrious fantasia of undress used to break records in boredom every week, the 1935 film version is a lively farce, wittily performed by Maurice Chevalier, Merle Oberon, Ann Soth- ern and some other capable farceurs. When occasionally it bursts into song, the Hollywood “Folies Bergere” is thoroughly pleasing. When it goes into & dance, it is merely another cel- luloid extravaganza, replete with chorus girls bobbing out of straw hats, umbrellas, lightning bolts and every- | thing else up to and including the kitchen sink. Fortunately these trick hoofing interludes, which have most of the cash customers frothing in their | bibs, are rare, being dragged in by the ‘hair now and then to show that | Eugene Charlier, part-time hero of the | plece, really is a music hall singer. The bulk of the play—if any| amount of such frothy stuff can be | said to constitute a bulk—is more | happily conceived, bothering itself | with unwinding an «laborate mix-up | between Charlier and Bnron Fernand ‘ MONODRAMA AT THE 'GOOD SONGS IN CONGRESSIONAL CLUB| ME’[‘R()P()L[T4N | Miss Jessica Lee Entertains With Three Interesting Sketches. Even without considering that she hails from West Hartford, Conn., Miss Jessica Lee may be complimented o a quite unblemished Southern uccenl which she employed to great effect vesterday afternoon at the Congres- sional Club in her sketch entitled, | “Yes, Mam, You Sho Kin Depen’ On Me. As Cha'ity, who wears her- self out with her completely promis- sory labors and collapses on the stage in sleep only too soon, Miss Lee was well worth seeing. As Dolly Madison at the start of her second eight years in the White House, Miss Lee did & finished job of character building. The Quaker childhood, the first husband. the spoiled son, the gay self-assurance all were deftly brought into the pitcure. The third sketch of a Belgian nun trying to dissuade her friend Edith Cavell from her dangerous labors, was well done, and very stirring. The scenery, the stage and curtain, were non-existent, but Charles Lewis at the piano successfully created the atmosphere, which alone is necessary. Miss Blanche Martin did her work as “prop man” very successfully. This was Miss Lee's second appearance in Washington, and she is now going on a tour of the South. She presented a program at the White House last Winter. e ANNUAL CONCERT. At the Y. W. C. A. Sunday at 5 pm.. in co-operation with their music Cepartment. Mary A.

Here she meets a nice young chap, a'so totally lacking of cash assets, and the two get a job in a music store, which gives them an opportunity to sing the songs you have heard on your radio. It also gives them an op- portunity to fall in love and get mar- ried after the usual obstacles have been overcome. It is more embellished than that, of course, but it is no more important. Especially does it please when Dixie Lee is singing a very lively ditty, “Ycu've Got Me Doin' Thing: and when Joe Morrison gives his sweet tenor to the hit tune of the piece, "My Heart Is an Open Book.” and to “Let Me Sing You to Sleep With a Love Song,” and “None But the Lonely Heart.” Both of these people, as you | know 1f you have heard them before, do full justice to their lyric assign- ments. Three songs written for the film, the “Let Me Sing You to Sleep” and “Open Book” numbers and an affair called “Lookie, Lookie, Lookie, Here Comes Cookie,” which is de- livered by Gracie Allen, were written by Gordon and Revel. Dixie Lee ccntributes much to the picture in addition to her singing by making the young lady of the carnival very authentic in her qualms about future happiness with somebody who was nice and hadn't been exposed to the harsh, cruel world, meaning Mr. Morrison. She also listens naturally | when Joe sings to her. Burns and Allen do some conven- tional Burns and Allen routines, one of which is as funny as anything they do and others which could have gone no farther than the cutting room without detracting from the film. H. M. SOUTHERN INDUSTRY | ASKS BOARD PLACES Council President Wires Roose- velt Seeking Representation on Recovery Directorate. By the Assoclated Press, NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 23 (). —Southern industry made & bid for representation on the expanded Na- tional Recovery Board yesterday. A telegram to President Roosevelt from John E. Edgerton, president nu the Southern States Industrial Coun- | cil, asked that “in any reconstruction | of the National Recovery Board st least one outstanding industrialist, representative of Southern industry, | should be appointed as a member.” Edgerton declared that Southern | interests “feel they have been neg- lected on code authorities.” He said that of a total membership of 3.186 on all codes up to June 7, 1934, only 298 members were from the South and that on most code governing bodies Southern representatives were in the minority. He said that from 18 to 20 per cent of the total value of manufactured products in the country are turned out in 13 Southern States. He added that of 364 code authorities 248 have no Southern representation.

It is he who will send you from Keith's with the gay feeling that “Roberta” is much better than it really is. Not that the fine Jerome Kern musical is not a good film. There are a lot of things about it to fill you with glee, but there are also things about it to make you sit upon your chair waiting and hoping for some- thing to happen. The happy thing about it is that something usually does happen very soon, usually in the way of Mr. Astaire coming upon the scene. And when Mr. Astaire comes upon the scene, everything is right with the world. Fred plavs gayly and snappily in & comedy role that fits him to petfec- 1he dances.

THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS STAGED BY “57” CLUB Students of Friends School Show Good Work Their Presentations. in Excellent histrionics were displayed last evening as the “57" Club af Friends School presented three one- act plays. “A Window at the Inn” saw Robert Niepold perform ably as the novelist seeking solitude and find- ing romance in a quaint old Berk- shire hostelry. Louise Alexander played the former love who returns, ostensibly seeking refuge from the elements. and Peggy M¢Neale gave a clever rendition of her garrulous com- panion. The second offering, “The Monkey's Paw,” was a horror piece, featuring | William Freehoff’s capable handling of a cockney accent in his role of a “Tommy Atkins." Roberta King and John Barr, jr., played the old couple | who see their wishes fulfilled by the magic monkey's paw, but take their | wine with gall. “Bargains in Cathay,” the final, was a fast-moving department store romance in which the son of the owner, James Smith, falls in love with the miss at the book counter. Margaret Goldenweiser, in which the “poor working girl” gets not pity but promotion when the boss succumbs to her salesmanship and buys a copy of his son’s book of poems. The plays were produced with at- tractive sets under the direction of the Misses R. E. Krick and G. V.| ‘Wright. C. A M Urschel Case June 10.

In its explorations of little-known industries the cinema has now reached the sandhog business, which consists not of hoarding sand, but of digging tunnels underneath rivers, mountains and other cavernous spots, where the temperature is high, the air compressed and the pay good. “Under Pressure.” the melodramatic analysis of tunnel- ing currently on display at Loew's Co- lumbia, has chosen for its heroes your | old friends Capt. Flagg (Victor Mc- ! Laglen) and Sergt. Quirt (Edmund Lowe). For the moment, however, the broil- some boys have tossed aside their| epaulets and chevrons. and their shirts | in the bargain, to emulate two helfy sandhogs, rooting away on one end of a tunnel leading from New York to— of all places—Brooklyn. Our muscle- bound heroes, who are known respec- tively as Jumbo and Shocker in their new civilian guise, started on the Flatbush side of the river and are trying to dig away from | there as fast as they can. Ap- proaching them from the New York end is Nipper Moran and his ugly crew. The object of the game is to see who can reach the middle of the river first, win a lot of side bets between the crews and have the privilege of push- ing the losing boss in the nose. Between the episodes of fire. flood and pestilence which harass Jumbo, Shocker and their muckers in this race, the boys come upstairs into sweet sumlight and sit around a beer parlor explaining to Miss Florence Rice, who is the handsomely inef- | fectual heroine of the piece, all the dangers of sand hogging. This expo- sition gets fairly tiresome at times, but you will leave the Columbia full of prescience anent the bends, the staggers, the wobbles and other mala- dies which beset the best of them now and then. In the course of their adventures Jumbo and Shocker demonstrate how to contract and cure each of these ailments, how to escape flames. ava- lanches and fights underground. In fact, “Under Pressure” is whatwithal more instructive than entertaining, a comment in which you will surely agree when you hear that its comedy consists of Mr. McLaglen's bumping his head on low ceilings occasionally, and its romance is predicated on the idea that Shocker wants to marry the beauteous heroine and retire to a silver fox farm, far from the mad- ding throng. The others noticeable in the cast include Seigfried Rumann, Charles Bickford and Marjorie Rambeau. ‘The program also includes ‘“The March of Time” newsreel and other shorts. R. B. P, Jr. AMATEURS PRESENT AN AMUSING LITTLE PLAY “The Maid and the Middy,” Staged by Young People's Council, Is Well Done. as An amusing little operetta. “The Maid and the Middy,” by David Stevens and George Tracy, was presented last‘ night by the Young People’s Council | of the National City Christian Church. ‘The entire show was splendidly done, with never a dull moment. Variety was added by the introduction of spe- clalti ‘William E. Braithwaite, play- ing the part of Capt. Dasher, con- | tributed greatly to the success of the | operetta. His interpretation of his| role supplied many hilarious moments. and this was coupled with his excellent voice. | ‘The plot revolves around the affairs of a midshipman (played by Mason | Gray), who is accused of running off with Anita. His lady love, Valerie (Maxwell Galloway), becomes jealous, but everything is straightened out in the end, when it is discovered that Anita is a parrot. | Other players deserving of mentlon‘ are Mrs. Leo Tooly, George G. Stone- | | breaker, Anthony Ranere, Arthur | Wells, J. Robert Boatman and Whit- | man Cordes. Boy Scout Troop No. 14 | also took part in the performance. The operetta was directed by Alice Keith, assisted by Pearl Henry and Katherine Gilkerson. The performers werg accompanied on the piano by Mrs, Maurine Pendery. “The Maid and the Middy” will be presented again this evening at 1308 ‘Vermont avenue and Monday night at Hine Junior High School at 8:30. G.E. H. MARCH MEETING. The March meeting of the Wash- ington Music Teachers’ Association will be held Tuesday at 8:15 pm. at the home of Mrs. Edwin B. Parker, 12001 Twenty-fourth street. The pro- gram has been arranged by Sylvia Lent in memory of her father, the late Ernst Lent, who for many years was a teacher in Washington. Miss Lent will have the assistance of La Salle Spier, pianist, and of John Preceding the program Mrs. Hasselbach will sketch briefly some of Mr. Lent's activities. Mary Howe will renort the progress of | Cassini, both | great stage personali impersonated by M. Chevalie:. It seems the resemblance between Charlier and Cassini was so marked that the entertainer’'s imper- sonation of the financier was the great hit of his repertoire. Needless to say, Charlier’s ability to be Cassini, Cassint’s calent for being himself and Chevaller's being either one at the slightest provocation leads to no end of amusing complications, so many, in fact, that you may share our diffi- culty in remembering which person M. Chevalier intended to represent at given moments. In both char- acterizations, however, Maurice turns on the old charm, which for most citizens is sufficient without further fandangoes. To bolster this best of Chevalier pictures the Twentieth Century Co. enlisted Miss Ann Soth- ern, who gives a fiery xryrcwnlatmn of a girl who didn't want to be a lady; Merle Oberon, the English eye- full, and Eric Blore, who does the comic butler to perfection. As if you never could get enough of laughing, the Fox also has im- | ported this week that dafly and ex- pert rib-tickler, Herb Williams, who was last seen around town at the National, ongeltmg lines and getting lnugm in “The Farmer Takes a | wife.” Mr. Williams is one of the most skillful comedians in vaudeville, and behind your guffaws at his antics on the Fox stage, don't you forget it | He carries a useful assortment of | stooges with the act, and his famous collapsible piano is still folding up on schedule. The second billing this week goes local talent, Talbot Hazlett, a singer of extraordinary power but no y, and Evelyn Tyner, whose pianistic gifts previous- ly have been broadcast to the world Mr. Hazlett has a really fine voice, but we thought two of his three songs trite and poorly chosen. Miss Tyner's talents have elicited awe and praise from impor- tant people, but again we did not care for her choice of material. The au- dience, it may be added, applauded them wildly. The other two tunes are a bicycle act and some numbers by the Danny Dare Dancers. R. B. P, Jr. A“lSEVlL\T\ ~ chow LIES IETORGERE AUIIC!
