LEW AYREs terest that will
hold you tightly to the last flicker.
In the screen story the court
room sequences become less COM
manding than in the play and
the nodernization Of character
makes Ellen Neal a speakeaSy
hostess rather than demure
country lass who strayed from
the path of rectitude. I some
times wished last night that the
Hollywood revising license had
permitted some of the long
winded editorial ranting Of prin-
cipals to be tranSposed into more
clear cut and concise English.
However, an honest reporter
must set down that the audiences
at the Fox Theater liked this
feature Immensely, wept with its
heroine, sympathized with her
good intentions, was on the point
of cheers when she finally carried
through to a wedding ring.
To nugget the fiction. It is
about Ellen Neal, a pretty girl
OF clouded parentage who goes to
work in a speakeasy just for life
and adventure. The joint is
raided and Ellen is advised by
the magistrate to take the less
exciting but safer path. So she
becomes the maid of the Full
terons and this rich and socially
prominent family has a handsome
son, Hugh. The affection be-
tween the youthful pair becomes
more than platonic and mater
nifty involves the problem. It all
irons out nicely when by ingen-
ious twists the author hands you
q surprise and some blue blood
for the unhappy Ellen.

airplane swings, while equally en-
joyable, but less exciting, amuSe.
ment is provided by the miniature
railroad, the custer ride, the whip
shooter. skee ball, carrousel and
many other attractions.

Derby Racer. the Airplane Swing
and the Whip as the youngsters.
It takes o full day to do every
thing in the park In the grand
manner, but much fun can be
packed even into an evening visit,
and the ride, day or night along
the Potomac River is a cool one.
One Of the features at Glen
Echo Is the dancing in the ball
room to the tunes Of McWilliamS

and regardless Of the temperature,
there are always plenty Of breezes
floating around to keep the dane

$500 calories a day. An adult man
engaged In sedentary occupation re-
quires 1000 calories daily. A man
doing hard work should have 5000
calories. The physiological reason
given is that the feminine organ

than man. child's food should
not be proportional according to
his age, as he requires more than
