again and again, but as the
heroine role it is certain Of popu-
lar appeal. william Cortnay
makes Of a minor figure contriv.
ing to have it one Of the outstand-
ing and notable features of the
film.
So far as the plot is concerned,
Three Faces East" can scarcely
lay claim to remarkable honoTs,
but it does maintain certain
keen suspense by virtue Of excel
lent acting and splendid direction.
The added features are good.
Lulu Mcconnell in a comedy.
"Neighborly NeighborS," very
nearly creates panic with her
ridiculous antics. Any bridge
player, good or bad, is apt to find
pleasure galore in her scientific
game. A Mickey Mouse cartoon,
There's Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" is excellent fare
for all, and Leo DonnellyS Music
Racket" isn't so bad. Graham
McNamee does his newscasting
with his usual entertaining re-
marks, which, with the customary
house features, winds up an en-
joyable program.

McClynn Sought Job

Frank MeGlynn, who played
Lincoln in the william Harris
production OF John Drinkwater's
play, was among those disap-
pointed when Huston was selected.
McGlynn made his greatest sue
cess in this role and he was
the actor about whom the Friars
originated the joke He will never
die happy unless he's assassi-
mated"
incidentally while most every
body praised the McGlynn con-
. ception of Lincoln, the lamented
Woodrow Wilson was one who
thought the Characterization ir-
reverent and frivolous. After he
witnessed the performance he an
nounced to intimates an inten-
tion of writing to Producer Har-
ris condemning the McGlynn re-
creation. He was counSeled he
would do an irreparable injury
to a fine actor who was doing
his best, and after thinking it
over decided not to send the
letter.
The Griffith picture has ITS
speaking parts. something of q
record for talking pictures.

MEN
in WARNINGS
BAND

Although the snappy band
which Fred Waring is conduct
ing at Loew's Palace this week,
still is called the Pennsylvanians.
many of its members have been
recruited from other colleges and
a few, even though they dress
collegiate, merely registered at a
college.
Besides Penn State. members
of Warnings group, trod the camp
uses of Pennsylvania, Yale, Har-
ward, Columbia, Michigan, North
western, Detroit, Bucknell. and
Southern California. They all
found syncopation a more desir-
able major than philosophy or
English literature or agriculture.
But, of. course, Fred retains
the original name for the quartet
which was the nucleus Of the
now famous organization which
halls from Tyrone, Pa, and at
tended Penn State. This is not
unusual you will find, if you 60
over a list of some Of the large
retail establishments or profes-
sional firms. Very often there
is not even one member of the
present firm to justify the name.
OF that original foursome, three
are still with the organization.
They are Fred, himself: Policy
Clintock, the drummer, and
Freddie Buck, the banjo player.
Tom Waring, the fourth charter
member is now in Hollywood writ
ing songs and sketches for talk
ing pictures.
He played the piano for the
original gang and sang to snap
things up. Fred likes the stage
best. even though it means. in
the case Of vaudeville. as many
as four appearances a day.
At the conclusion Of his ipreSent
vaudeville tour, which ends Sep
tember IS, he will re-enter the
musical comedy field.

Seaside Park Bathers
Not StIIng byNettLes

Word has spread along CheSa-
peake Bay that one Of the best
ways to avoid the nettlesome
nettle is to pass up the open water
for the cool, refreshing, thoroughly
filtered salt water in the big swim
ming pool at Seaside Park, the
new amusement resort
The pool, located just beside
the fine, new ball room at the
park, is one of the largest in the
East, with accommodations for
$4,000 bathers daily. It's graduated
depth offers opportunity for the
virtuoso in the .natatorial art to
do his stuff, while at the shallow
end of the tank youngsters may
enjoy the crystal clear and cool
water Just as much as the diving
champs do.
There's night bathing under
floodlights, and to music.
There's plenty to see. plenty to
do, plenty to enjoy at Seaside
Park, You get there by your own
car. via the new Southern Mary
land Boulevard. or via the CheSa-
peake Beach Railway, whose
bright red cars you board at the
District Line, and which take you
to the very door of the park.

Pierre's night club. How he is
able to keep the job Is hard to
understand, for the orchestra gets
along without any drumming. al
though Arthur Lake. who Is seen
as Eddie, goes through the mo-

He walks in the broadcasting
room Of the cabaret, while a

forced to sing over the air, while
a pistol Is showed in his face.
His nervous singing makes him a

The height of the summer sea-
son finds the steamer City of
Washington, and Chapel Point its
destination, 100 per cent popular.
Chapel Points chief lure is the
fine bathing. suitable for expert
swimmers and those who merely
wade and splash around. All day
picnic parties at the point are for
tunate In having 20 acres of
ground, refreshment facilities and
other things that help make the
day enjoyable.
Riding, boating, Fairgrounds for
the children and dancing are some
of the side attractions. The boat
makes the trip every day except
Tuesday, and. makes the moon
light sail every evening
Moonlight parties may dance to
orchestra tunes, play bridge, or
merely rest in comfortable chairs.

that Eddie Cantor will. pinch-hit

we are on the subject here is
the latest Cantor yarn from

to Louis Sobol:
When the preview of "Whoopee'

Eddie Cantor sat with Flo zies-

in the past, has ozoned the stage,
as you know, to appear ex-

well shattered as result. AS
the title flickered out upon the
screen, Cantor turned to Flo and
whispered. IF squeeze your
