dominates al all times. Sparkling
song numbers, unique bits of dane.
ing and some original humor all
have the stage before the fall of
the final curtain and all are pre-
sented along lines that make them
enjoyable.
Garland B. Howard, better

the real noise of the troupe. How
ard is strong In the dance line, has
a good voice and contributes many
bright moments with his humor.
Mae Brown MARBLES her way
through some good jazz bits and

SHOW BOAT I'm
LAST DAYSAT
RIALTO

"The Show Boat" Carl Laemmle's =
talking and singing version Of
Edna erber's great novel and
F1orenz Ziegfeld's successful mu-
sical comedy, is attracting ca.
paC. crowds to- the Rialto
Theater, where 1t begins a third
weeks run.
'The Show Boat" is splendid
production. Dramatic and pic
turesque, the story Is unfolded
by the excellent characterizations
of superb cast. Laura La
Plante gives the outstanding per-
formance as Magnolia, displaying
an understanding and ability
which readily established her in
the front ranks as a capable and
versatile actress. Joseph Schild-
kraut as Ravenal is remarkably
satisfactory in the debonnaire role
assigned him. Emily Fitzroy As
Parthenia Ann Hawkes., and Otis
Harlan as the captain, render
perfect delineations. The story
follows the book very closely.
The musical hits from the opera,
notably "Op Man River" are
exquisitely synchronized, making
'The Show Boat" one of the
finest sound pictures brought to
the public. H. X.

WARDMAN

When the curtain raises Mon.
day evening at the Wardman
Park Theater, on the musical
comedy Sometime Soon," the,
audience will witness the most
ambitious production ever at,
tempted by the Troubadours of
George Washington University.
This original musical comedy
by G. w. U. students has been
in preparation for several months,
and the. result is expected to
firmly establish the Troubadours
as one of the very best collegiate
organizations in the country.
Dennis Connell, who is direct
ing the Troubadours for the sec
Ond consecutive year, is especially
we'll fitted to direct this piece.
The book itself is timely, for the
locale is Hollywood, the movie
capital, the more recent scene of
the "talIie" invasion.
Harriette Rissler is cast as a
movie star, while playing oppo-
site, John Silaz appears as a
young collegian who wins a
movie contest and later, after
due tflDuIaClOHS MISS hlSSleF as
we'll. Others in the cast are Ger
aid Sickler, Ruth Greenwood,

The musical score of Some.
time Soon" was composed by Will
liam Jemison, Martha Stevens,
and Daniel Reattie, representing
the best of the campus talent.
The tunes are reported as being
as big a hit as the past Trouba-
dours melodies that have been
published and attained popularity,
Three coed choruses and one
male chorus will make the musi-
cal comedy the largest production
vet attempted by the Troubadours.
All of the dance steps are origi-
nal and intricate. Costumes have
been designed especially for
Sometime Soon"
An interesting feature will be
specialty numbers from past
Troubadour productions and in
which the original actors will be
introduced.

Krassin, the rescue ship that
plowed the ice fields of the polar
regions to save the lives of mem
bers of the ill-fated Italia which
was commanded by Gen. Umberto
Mobile features the program at
the Little Theater this week:
1t is amazing how such a boat,
forcing it's way through miles of
ice could make any picture i'm
pressive and interesting, put
"Ktassih" does this and well may
the Russians be proud of this
squatty little ice breaker.
After two years of inactivity,
and after two subsequent zee
breakers had failed to reach the
stranded Italia crew, the Krassin
put out from Leningrad and
rescued those that were still alive.
The actual rescue of the men
who floated on an ice floe for
days was due to the airplane the
Red Bear which the Krassin car
ried with it. The Red Bear after
locating the floating crew re-
turned to find it's base ship car
ried off by the breaking of the
ice. All the world knows of the

CHEVY CHASE'S
OPENING IS
WEDNESDAY

Chevy Chase Lake will open
next Wednesday evening, May 8,
with everything all set for large
evening of fine dance music and
genuine relaxation.
AS in previous seasons, two fine
Meyer Davis bands will be the
featured attractions at the lake.
The Swanee Syncopators, di-
rected by Al Kamons. will make
a..d keep things lively on the lower
pavilion. The same lineup will
be preserved that has made the
SyncOpators a popular drawing
card at Swanee during the winter
months.
Ben Levine, another strong ia.
vOrite at the lake, will lead high
tension jazz outfit on the upper
pavilion. Ben's ukelele and banjo
will again be in evidence, both in
his regular orchestral work and in
special songs which h9 will rem
der during the intermission. A
novelty in the upper pavilion line
up will be the use of a xylophone
to be used in achieving novel
symphonic effects.
The Chevy Chase Lake season
progl am of amusement includes
a series of novelty and carnival
nights to be staged at regular in
tervals. These events will be put
on about once a week earlier in
the seson, while a week
schedule will probably be entered
on later.
