OPENING ATTRACTIONS In WASHINGTON

''backstage" atmosphere proved interest

William Haines, appearing as the
sponsor and unfailing friend of little
Peggy Pepper In her harsh journey to
stardom, is more restrained, giving a
fresh and nicely-balanced portrayal. In
moments, especially in the sequences
when the imperious Patricia Pepoire''
(nee Peggy Pepper seems to have for
got the lowlier days, Haines is peculiarly
reminiscent of Charles Ray in some of
his better work of the same type. Dell
Henderson. Polly Moran and Tenen
Holtz appear capably in support of the
stars.
Among the stage units Joe Penner's
antics and songs and the harmony of

straighter dancing numbers, one or two

organ number by Charles Gaige and an

EARLE-"Ccnquest."

Warner Brothers, apparently urged on
by an indomitable desire to be first,
dived headlong into a talkie version
of Mary INLAY Taylor's story, Con
quest" The theme of the piece is time
ly. in that it centers around the attempt
of aviation to conquer the wastes Of the
South Pole region. paralelling. of course,
the heroic efforts of Capt. wilkins and
Comdr. Byrd.
The fact that the players are given
voice necessarily makes it impossible to
incorporate some of the essential steps
in action continuity, creating a rather
jagged effect. but, withal, giving con-
nected story and enough drama to carry
it along. Endowed with speech. H. B.
Warner, Lois Wilson, who is making a
decided comeback via the talkies, and
Monte Blue, last seen and heard in
Shadows of the South Seas" all seem
a little awed before the monarch of
Hollywood, the microphone, but &C
counting themselves well, nevertheless,

really outdistance the featured players
as far as actual line reading goes, par
ticularly the latter. The film Is also
synchronized with appropriate score and
noise.
Irene Franklin, the famous red-head
songster of vaudeville, appears in one of
the best short features to be heard re-

STRAND-"Girls From the FolIies."

Not to be backed off stage and sub
merged by the series of high-class re-
vues that have been drawing capacity
houses in Washington, at unusual
prices, Burlesque, the mother of them
all, makes her bid this week at the
Strand Theater with one of her very
own, 1.-The Girls From the Follies," and
transfers large share of the local en-
thusiasm to the Ninth and D street
playhouse.
Of course, burlesque doesn't spend a
million, or a half million. or even a
quarter million, on its star attractions.
but it has a way of injecting into its
productions originality in comedy, songs
ana dance features that win their way
to the heart of the burlesque fan, and
1.-THE Girls From Paris" outfit at the
Strand this week seems to have done
Just that thing.
Headed by George Raynor, an intel
Iigent and amusing entertainer, and
Gladys Clark, blonde, dashy, attractive
and with an excellent voice, the COM
pany presents one fine number after
another, each seemingly better than its
predecessor. It's a good show for bur-
iesque lovers. And others who help to
make it so include IONA Duval, Jean
Leroy, May Raynor, John Crosby, Lew
Leroy, Frank Mallahan and one of the
best choruseS of the season.

FOX-"Beware of Bachelors"

FOX-"Beware of Bachelors"
The redeeming features of the Fox
Theater program this week are the
Gus Mulcahy ard his harmonica- dance
performance, the delightfully."- comical
Floradora number by the girl ballet,
featuring some old-fashioned costumes
and new-fashioned ideas. and girl
and her violin. The girl is billed as
Auriole Craven. Like Mulcahy, she
makes music while she dances. And
both Of them produce real harmony
with their chosen instruments.
Aside from these features, it might
have been just as well had the show
ended with rehearsals, where it is be-
gun for the benefit of the patrons,
under the direction of Jose La Rose.
Especially Is this true of the feature
film, Beware of Bachelors" which
started out to be a vitaphone offering
and changed its mind.
So far as the title and the subject
matter are concerned, these two COM
ponent parts of Warner Brothers latest
production haven't even a speaking ac-
quaintance with each other. The plays
not about bachelors. It's about two
sweet young things who have been mar
ried nearly a year without quarrel,
but make up for that in the last three
days before their first anniversary. And
the only dangerous looking individual
in the piece is a member of the gentler
sex-the type sometimes known as a
bachelor girl with a past, and some
times called just plain vamp. Margaret
Livingston plays this part. There is
one bachelor fitting about, to be sure
at least he doesn't have any marital
membranes.
Andre de Beranger in this role, by
the way, provides some excellent COM
edy, worthy of better setting. Audrey
Ferris and William Collier, jr, do their
level best with the ingenue leads, too,
but they are given some poor material
with which to work Tom Ricketts,,
cast as the benevolent grandad who is
going to reward the two young babes
in the woods with substantial check
if they are happily married on their
anniversary, has rich speaking voice

j. S. SURPLUS !.
LOOMS

If present rates of income and
expenditures are maintained by the
Government the remaining five
months OF the fiscal year Uncle
Sam win come our with a net
profit Of $14S.OOO,OOO June 81.
This was learned at the Treasury
TODAY in connection with the state.
ment from President Coolidge that
he anticipated a surplus by June
Unless appropriations surpass all
expectations. the Treasury said a
surplus is certain. While estimates
are more of a guess considering
the uncertainty Of appropr' tons,
Il was the opinion that the Gov.
eminent would finish the fiscal
year about 500, 100000 ahead.
These rates of in and outflow
of cash indicate receipts Of slightly
over SO, 900 900, 900 and expenses OF
nearly $3,7SO, 100000 for the year.
So far this year receipts. are $l39,-
600 900 less than last year and e.
penditures $136, 000.0 900 greater.
Treasury experts. however, de-
clared today that the surplus de-
ponds entirely upon the appropri-
ations made by Congress prior to
March 4 and such funds IS may
be authorized for expenditure py
the special session.
Receipts viii be maintained az
least in the same volume as during
the last seven months, according
to the experts. They declared that
the increases n corporation bust.
ness in 1928 practically will coun-
terbalance the IN per cent reduc.
ton in the corporation tax. and
that the Individual income taxes
will be considerably greater in the
year ending next June.
This means, experts said, that the
tax collection in March. the first
payment period of the year. will be
about the same as the $515,669,OOO
collected last March.
Despite the repeal OF the auto
mobile tax and elimination of a
number of other sources of revenue.
miscellaneous revenue collections
probably will exceed $500, 200. 900,
slightly less than last year. The
