our buccaneering craft. The fact that
we were captors and captives only
seemed TO make 1t all the 1ollier. We
took the greatest pleasure In making
the time agreeable for our prisoners,
with games, concerts, cards. and story
telling. We tried to feed them well.
and | think we did which helps a
lot. as you'll agree. We didn't throw
1t AT them either. In fact, we served
special meals for NIL the nations whose
ships we captured.
One day our own German chef
cooked. and that boy was some cook,
as you say. The next duy an English
cookie, then the French chef, then the

English food was, the worst. II usual

sailing ships were famous for fright

food was good. Today the work is
not bad and there is no brutality, but
the food Is still good
The prisoners seemed to appreciate
our intentions thoroughly. They
wanted to do. everything they could
for us In return. Feeling of patriot

"The hog has very little natural

Natural shade probably is best, but
1t Is not always available in the hog

that she has large bit Of work cut
out for her and she doesn't mean to

EARLE-"The wild Party"

Clara Bow appears In her first talk
Ing picture, THE Wild Party" at the
Earle Theater this week.
It has been said that washington
audiences are cold and unresponsive,
but during the presentation Of this pic
ture last evening many ordinations Of
approval could be heard from various
parts Of the building.
The picture is based upon story By
Warner Fabian, in which Clara Is cast
as the leader of group Of fun-loving,
irresponsible young co-eds. She has
roommate, however, who grinds day
and night in an effort to win the an
nual alumnae award so that it will be
possible for her to continue her college
education. Also, there is the young pro-
fessor Of anthropology, who has the
highest ideals Of scholarship, personal
responsibility and devotion to duty
One exceedingly wild; party gets Clara
and her pals into lot Of trouble, and
only the unexpected appearance and
physical courage Of young Prof. Gilman
saves her from a real calamity. An
other party, perhaps little wilder than
the first involves Helen, the staid little
roommate, and causes the faculty to
withhold the honor of the alumnae
award, although she has passed the ex-
aminations with the highest grades.
Clara learns of her friends loss, uses
little strategy and goes to the faculty
and clears Helen by inculpating herself
Clara leaves the institution, but not
alone, for Prof Gilmore leaves, too, for
research work in the "Malayas," where
there is plenty Of work for both Of
them, where there are no morons, but
plenty OF SavageS."
Motion picture audiences are well &C.
quainted with Miss Bows vivacity, per-
sonal magnetism, facial expression and
athletic proves, but it may be said
here that never has she appeared to
better advantage than in her first talk
ing picture, 1.-The Wild Party" Fred
eric March's Characterization of Prof.
Gilmore is superb and he possesses q
voice that records with striking clarity
and force. -.
The Earle Orchestra, conducted by
Daniel Breeskin, plays selections from
George Whites Scandals" as its over

feature with brilliant rendition OF

LITTLE THEATER-"simba."

Martin and Osa Johnson's African
picture, "Simba," at the Little Theater
this week, in the variety Of It's portrayal
Of wild life, In hte quality of its photog-
raphy, and in its capture of the natu-
raj atmosphere of the veldt and the
jungle, must rank as the best Aim Of
its sort thus far produced. In Chang"
1t has its nearest rival; Chang" in the
sense Of dramatic narrative, was SUI
perior; "Simba" does not concern itself
with narrative beyond the bare record
of the four years which its making
required.
Remarkable scenes Of lion stalking
and hunting In Tanganyika form the
climax OF the picture, and give 1t its
name. There are many preceding Sc
quenceS, however, treating Of elephants,
rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, zebraS, an
telopeS, CRATES and birds, which are
nearly as exciteing as the lion scenes.
1t is obviously Of the latter, though, that
the Johnsons are most proud in view
OF the peculiar difficulties and danger
connected with photographing lions.
The picture is replete with fascinating
incidents, episodes of the ruthlessness
and primordiality of life In that section
OF Africa. It Is something Of q relief
to see native hunters brandishing spears
and shields, dancing medicine men with
weirdiy painted faces, all the ritual and
habit Of semi-savage peoples, and to
realize that they are not, after ali, mere
habitues of Hollywood.
An early Harold Lloyd comedy, "Step
Lively" Is a supplement on the bill, in
addition to "Bimba," o pallid attempt at
wit prepared by the management to
josh the main feature, which fails to
realize what are really good satiric pos
sibilities, news reel and the orchestra s
overture.
