AT THE CAPITOL
Lorraine cf the Lions Uni

now playing. at the Capitol theatre
today-Monday and Tuesday. So
completely free from any plot
ideas ever utilized before and so
filled with unusual incidents, the
story was made into the big release
Of the current season by Univer-
sal.
With thrills. heart throbs, and
delicate comedy interviewer. the
story is declared to be che of the
strangest and most original ever
written for the screen.
Norman Kerry is starred with
Patsy Ruth Miller PLAYING oppo-
site him. Joseph bowling, Fred
Humes. Philo Mccullough, Harry
Todd, Frank Newburg, Rosemary
Cooper. Doreen Turner, Jackie
Goodrich and w. Stuart McCrea
are in the east, comprised of an
unusual galaxy CT stars.
The difficulties encountered in
filming the picture were immense
1t took more than three months
work on three elaborate sets before
production could be started. A
San Francisco millionaire's man
sion was reproduced in every de-
tail, both inside and out, at ire
mendous cost. A steam heated
jungle covering an area of six acres
was grown with vegetation brought
from the South Seas.

size and thickness. some of them
bat 10y far the most OF them bearing
turned-oVCT corners or a crease in the
middle For Il week past one hostess
tried To solve the mystery of several
cards with all four corners turned
ANA has concluded that turning u
corner had simply become custom
i'm some families. Others We're turned
at the right or left corner. at the top
or bottom of the card. and many were
creased in the middle.
Inquiry from the oldest authority
on such subjects at the State Depart
ment revealed the fact that even
economy should not lead one into the
delusion that they were thereby trans
hitting general information through
the medium of Crumpled corners OF a
visiting card. The only fold on a
card at all permissible is when cor
ner is turned down-any Corner-indi-
eating in hotels and such places, that
it was left in person and not by a
carrier.
IT one has not cards enough to 20
around in Il family when calling, post
pOnc the visit until another time.
Even in official families where on"
calls from duty if not for pleasure
1t is well 10 ascertain the number OF
ladies Of visiting age in the family
before paying your respects. The
Social Register almost always settles
this question in unofficial ranks and
also carries such information OF the
families of higher officials, Senators
and diplomats.
Cards are an expensive item in
Washington except with certain off
Gals who enjoy the privileges of a re-
duction. but regardless of this, the
gentleman visitors card must he left
for the master Of the house, if there
be one. and for each lady of the fam
lily when of visiting age, or for =
house guest, while the lady visitor
must leave = card for the ladies only.
One card can never be made to
serve for q whole family and bending
it in any direction is only to mislcad
the recipient. It's language may he
understood in other cities, but with
the one exception mentioned, not in
the Capital.
