OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES x"

Ruth Chatterton, who is best known
in Washington to theatergoers as a
particularly gifted young actress in So
clety comedies. makes her appearance
here in a sound picture this week as
heroine Of the famous old melodrama,
Madame X" at the Columbia Theater.
In this role for which the original
standard was set on supreme dramatic
heights by the great playing Of 1t, in the
original French version by Alexandra
Bison. by Sarah Bernhard, Miss Chat
terton has q very different characterize
| ton to offer than any in which she has
been seen and heard here previously. 1t
| is a role to task any actress metal, ana
Miss Chatterton comes through with
flying colors. Her subtle Interpretation
of what could easily become maudlln
role is superb as acting alone. ADDED
| to dramatic power, her rich voice OF
warm, low timber, which records excel
lently for sound pictures, adds the color
full nuances that round out well nigh
perfect Characterization.
Miss Chatterton builds skillfully and
easily toward that supreme drama OF
her last moment in the famous court
scene. II it were only to see this young
American in the leading role, IL Woulo
be we'll worth any ones time to see
this production Of Madame X.'
In addition, however. to Miss Chat
terton's remarkable delineation. equally
fine characterizations are given every
other role in the cast. with no excep-
ton. Lewis Stone in the difficult part
of the adamant husband gives human
touch to a trying role. Raymond Hackett
is excellent, also. as the younger
Floriot.
Lionel Barrymore. doubtless. deserves
foremost honors as director of this beau
tifully balanced. admirably photograp hed
production. The scenes in China, South
America and other settings that help
UNNECESSARILY in rounding out convinc-
, Ing background for a real personality
in the heroine. are welcome addition
to those which follow quite faithfully
the scenic directions for the stage play.
The lines Of the play. too. are intel
lisently handled II slightly altered.
In short. Madame X" as M-G-M
has produced it, is one of the greatest
films that has yet been presented to
the American public.

BranSon, pastor Of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, at Madison,

announced he had withdrawn from the
church because of politics in the polity
and the polity in politics"
Rev. Mr.. Branson, who has been a
Methodist minister for Is years, said in
part:
II am divergent from the Methodist
Church as to polity and biblical inter-
probation. Second, an unusual oppor-
tunity to enter amore congenial field
Of activity. These in conjunction have
determined my present course.
1.-THE Methodist system in times past
has been the storm center of agitation
for modification by limitation. Today
there are storm signals that presage
rough weather and high seas ahead.
There are rumblings that portend earth
quake and subsistence of the Episcopal
system.
What is the cause Of this insurgency

Is easy. In a nutshell, 1t is politics in

WOMEN
TO TAKE UP ISSUES
Organized Voters Will Con-
slider important Problems
at Meeting.
BY a star Correspondent of The Star.

CLARENDON. Va, November 16.-
Several matters of current interest to
the entire county are to be considered
at the quarterly meeting of the Organ
lied Women Voters Of Arlington County
Wednesday at the Cherrydale Firemen's
Hall. The meeting will open with a
luncheon at l o'clock. Lieut.. Nina C.
Van Winckle, head of the women's bu-
reau of the Washington Police Depart
ment, will be the principal speaker
Mrs. E. w. Magruder. vice president of
the organization, will be official hostess.
Both Sides Of Incorporation.
In view of the fact that the next
meeting of the Virginia Legislature will
take place in January, one of the i'm
portant features OF the meeting will
be the reading of two papers, one in
support of the incorporation of the
county and the other against. This has
been vital issue in the county for the
past several years and is still being
seriously considered by a great many
residents so 1t is the desire of the asso-
citation to acquaint the members with
all of the facts so that they may be
prepared to take a stand in case the
question is brought up in the General
Assembly. The committee appointed
to prepare the papers consists of Mrs.
C. w. Harris, Mrs. Harry K. Green and
Mrs. Arthur Orr.
Mrs. Julian w. Simpson, president of
the Organized Women Voters and chair
man of a special subcommittee of the
executive committee that was appointed
to make an investigation Of the posi-
bilitieS for fixing new boundaries be-
tween Arlington and Jefferson dis
tricts, will make her report which will
be, she said today, that the matter will
have to be taken up in the Circuit
Court. This question is being consid-
cred because the acquisition Of part
of Jefferson district by Alexandria
leaves 1t very much smaller than either
OF the other two districts of the county
The court cannot consider the change
until the annexation becomes actually
effective January /.
Oil Plant Problem.
There not having been a meeting Of
the organization since the question came
up, consideration is to be given to the
proposed erection in RoSSlyn of an oil
storage plant by the Sun Oil Co. The
civic committee has already expressed
itself as opposed to the plant a permit
for which has been granted by the
board of county supervisors. Efforts
are being made. however, to have the
Federal Government take hand in the
affair.
Since the annual election of officers
Is scheduled to take place in January, a
nominating committee will be named
to prepare a slate Of candidates. A
number of other projects will also be
discussed.
