MARVIN EXPLAINS |
COLLEGE PURPOSE
Time to Raise Child Is 20
Years Before Its Birth,
G. w. U. Head Says.

1t is impossible for o university, mo
matter how great nor how powerful It
may be, to graft a $4,000 education
Heck Marvin, president of George,
Washington University, said today at
Mothers day exercises at the university.
A large number of mothers Of girls
of the freshman class visited the uni
versity and accompanied their daugh-
tiers to their classes. After hearing
speeches by DR.. Marvin, Mrs. Joshua
Evans, jr., a member of the board Of
trustees, and Miss Catherine Eckhart,
a student, they were taken on an in
spection trip Of the institutions points
Of interest, They also were guests at
buffet luncheon.
Boys and girls are representative Of
what mothers and fathers are" DIR.
Marvin declared. 1.-THE time to raise
a child is 20 years before it is born"
he asserted. "The life stream is con-
slant, and If your lives are true and
faithful, so will your sons and daugh-
ters' lives be true. We cannot train sons
and daughters apart from mothers and
fathers. You are part of us, of the
great scheme of education. The thing
that is all important is that you carry
in your hearts the true idea of the
meaning of education"
There are several types of parents,
who come to the university, Dr. Marvin
said. There is the ambitious parent,
the one who somewhat misses the point
OF education. This parent says, I want
Johnnie to come to the university and
learn so that he won't have to work as
hard as I have had to work in life.'
To this parent my only answer Is that
the university is not the place for him.
Unless boy or girl can come here and
learn to work harder and to greater
social purpose than he could learn else
where during the four years he would
spend in college, he has no place here.
College is the place where one prepares
ones self for superior effort
There is the type of parent VINO
wants to use the university as a stop
gap in life, a sort Of nursery school
Tor sons and daughters pending the
time when they can take their places
In the economic and social life OF the
world. To this parent say: You do
not want a college, you want q country
club. Your son or daughter would have
much more fun there and would come
out better in the end, for at least ne
would learn to play golf and tennig
TBut there is another kind Of parent
who gives me courage. This is the one
who says, I want my son to be well
prepared for life, that he may carry on
honestly and sincerely"

IAN important part of the project u
the quarantine which involves the pos
sible spread of the fly by means OF
public carriers. This work has been
admirably accomplished by the National
Guard of Florida. The utilization OF
the State National Guard for the en-
forcement of guarantees has never be-
fore been attempted and the methods
and effectiveness OF this organization
for quarantine duty where q single
State Is involved are heartily Endorsed.
The enforcement of garbage disposal
screening of fruit stands and fruit
delivery wagons is important from the
standpoint Of eradication and should
continue as o phase Of the quarantine,
under the supervision and control Of
the State National Guard"

RICHARD DIX TOBE
 AT THE STRAND.
F,ltard M Talking Picture
 'NothinS But hs Truth

The most substantial defiance yet thrown at the scoffers who said of the talking motion picture Tt will never become as effective as the stage" will be projected on the audi ble screen at the Strand theater Sunday for four days.
 '.Nothing But the Truth" is the funniest screen play the silversheet has given us in many long day and it doesn't depend upon stap-stick for it's laughs. It is Look and Listen" entertainment of the highest type and Richard Dix's voice is an excellent one for the talking screen.
 The play deals with young man who makes a wager of $10.0o0 that he can tell the truth for 24 hours. The farce situations arising from the bet are seemingly endless. In order to win the bet he finds himself tell ing his sweetheart that he was in love once before with a weight-lift- ing woman of the circus, telling his boss that he is an interruptions busi- ness man and ''night-life hound telling a beautiful singer at house party that he thinks her singing is terrible, and getting himself into all kinds of laugh provoking jams.
New Britain herald., 1929-05-18

Richard Dix proves to have a superior capacity for the require- ments of the role of the truth teller. He gives a fine comedy portrayal without recourse to buffoonery. Helen Kane as a member of a sing ing sister-act. is winsome. appealing. and excruciatingly funny. Her baby talk songs are big part of the show.
 Louis John Bartels. Ned Sparks and Berton Churchill as the friends who make the wager with Dix, are excellent. as are the others in the cast.
 The vaudeville program for the first half of the week will offer five all star attractions headed by thoSe famous Broadway screamingly fun ny comics. Dave Seed and Ralph Austin in Success" Seed and Aus tin have been featured players fin vaudeville and musical comedy for quite some time and their appear ance always calls for general out burst of hilarious laughter. On Thursday the feature attraction will feature Ramon Novarro and Renee Adoree in "The Pagon" in which Ramon Novarro sings in a rich tenor voice during several scenes of this South Sea Isle romance.

fesional actor in this city. He ap- peared in a sketch which was pre- sented on the stage at Keeney's the ater now known as tho Palace. At that time he did not entertain an ambition to SO into the movies. He was looking for career in vaude- vile.
 These are a few examples of the many who are made" in this town.
 According to Bernard A. Grogan. former manager of the Capitol the ater. he was approached several times a month by actors who were anxious to go on the stage for tryout. Some were willing to do it without compensation but all were willing to so on for very little money as long as they could give their act a tryout.
 The Capitol theater is not running vaudeville and much talent which some day might reach the heights has to be turned away.

'GLAD RAG DOLL

Is Dolores COstelo's First All
 Talkie

Dolores Costello will be seen in a new kind of role for her at the Capitol Sunday where her latest Warner Bros. Nitaphone all-talklng picture, "The Glad Rag Dolr' will be shown for 4 days. It is a comedy role and in it Miss Costello achieves a new triumph, broadening and en- liyening her delicate art of mlmicry. She got her comedy points with all the lightness and savoir faire of practiced comedienne. Never was her speaking voice heard to better advantage. The comedy scenes were enhanced by the skillful support ing aid of Albert Gran, Claude Gill lingwater, Dale Fuller Lee Moran, Louise Beaver and Tom Ricketts. while the dramatic scenes enlisted the fine abilities of Ralph Graves (who is Miss Costello's new leading man), Audrey Ferris. Maude Turner Gordon, Andre Beranger. Tom Ken nedy and others. The cast is one of the finest of the season. Their hand ling of the dialogue added greatly to the emotional quality of the drama and to the sparkling effect of the comedy.
 Miss Costello is seen as a young musical comedy actress seeking re- venge on an aristocratic family which thinks itself too good to al low it's scapegrace scion. Jimmy Fairchild, to marry Anabel Lea, not so long out of the chorus. Anabcl takes Jimmy's love letters on visit to his family in Philadelphia and threatens to give them to the news papers if the opposition to her mar riage to Jimmy continues. She is invited to remain in order that the love letters may be gotten away from her. She finds so many skele- tons in the family closet that there is no doubt she can force the family to consent to the marriage, but she and the severe John fall in love and situations develop in rapid order.

ACTORS WIN FAME
 AFTER LOCAL DEBUT
Bright Lights of Stage Had Start
 in This City

Although New Britain is regarded as a town which is reluctant to ap- plaud it's vaudeville presentations and is described as a place where audiences are ''handcuffed." several entertainers in vaudeville owe their success to the start they received here.
 Ann Suder's Start
 Those who have followed the shows in this city for the last five years remember a great hit made by Ann Suder who walked out on the Palace theater stage one after noon and began to sing series of so-called hot-blues numbers. She made a great hit with the audience and was called out again and again.
 It seemed stranger to the man. ager who up to this time had had great difficulty engaging talent which would come up to the approv- al of the audience. It was especially pleasing to him because he had en- gagged her after she had personally requested a try-out. She was a free lance artist, put after her decided hit in this city she was booked solid ly for several weeks.
 She scored such hit that she was brought back and was lauded as one of the features. At present she is in a large house in London, England. where she is scoring great success.
 She is in the "big-time" circuit now but has not forgotten her early friends. Recently she sent a card to the management of the New Britain chain telling of her success.
 Shcehan, Martin and Brems
 Few can forget the decided hit made by Jack Sheehan. the soloist and personality king, who came to this city with Hoyt's review. He be- came such hit that the New Brit ain people went to the Lyceum the- ater just to see and hear him. He was New Britain's matinee idol and the review was kept in this city for several weeks. With him were two others who have met with greater success Felix Martin and Lou Brems. Later Sheehan made Broadway show and the two comedians. Mar tin and Brems, headed their own companies in vaudeville.
 Adolph Mcnjou Once Here
 Adolph Menjou, the celebrated movie actor who is now one of the brightest stars in screenIand. made his first public appearance as plo-
