You'll. Like Joe Cook

Joe Cook has the best laugh
film show in town this week. I
mean, as pictures go, you will find
more giggles. outlaws and button
bursting moments in Rain or
Shine" than on the competing
screens.
1t follows the musical comedy
fairly close except where the
camera and the Hollywood art
permit an expansion that shows
real circus scenes. On the stage
the banquet interlude impressed
me as a far fetched piece Of pre-
poSterouS nonsense and while it
is heavily upholstered in laughs
serves to destroy the last vestige
of credibility for the story. For
that matter Rain or Shines"
author left Comedian Cook out on
the limb SO far as winding up his
story IN the conventional way is
concerned. You can guess
whether Smiley" got the girl
and what about the future of the
burned out circus.
bu6 you can resist Gne appear
Of Joe Cook. He is a frank,
open-faced, wholesome comic who
gets under your vest and creeps
close to your heart. His tremen.
dous versatility hardly registers
as impreSSively in the movies to
audiences who have been fed up
on star doubles for the hard
stunts. Still Joe Cook requires
no doubles. Everything you see
him do in pictures he does. For
I have seen him do them many
times fon the stage.
AS for Director Frank Capra, he
Is one megaphone man who keeps
steadily in mind the fact that the
motion picture should move. Rain
or Shine" has action, and most of
it is of the kind that will keep
you entertained when Joe Cook
is not telling such things as why
condensed milk is not so hot when
spread over corn flakes.

tighter, more cleverly put to-

Sented act than Fred Waring is
offering on the Palace stage this
week. Intelligence and Snowman
ship and class are spread all over
it. Not a lost motion or a
wasted moment in the 36 minutes
they were on yesterday afternoon,
second show. 1t just has every
thing.
Since it is. a critics duty to, pick
flaws as well as to extend laurciS,
the only dissent I would make
was that Director Waring at cne
point seemed to be bored over the
volume of applause and the time
picked out by the audience for the
noisiest palm beating. Don't high
hat that Palace crowd, Fred.
Theyare precious bunch of regu-
lars and know their stuff.
Incidentally, the Warnings made
plenty of money for the Crandall

ing why they went over to the OPP
position the answer is more work.

GAINS FAVOR

Marquette, the Bucks new
companion car, which made its
first appearance earlier in the
present automotive season, is
creating unusual interest at the
Automobile Show today. This
fast six-cylinder newcomer to the
show is in the spotlight because
it offers many features and ad-
Vantages that are new in its
price field.
Built on a 114-inch wheelbase,
the Marquette is offered in six
models-a four-door sedan, two
door sedan, business coupe, sport
coupe, roadster and phaeton.
All models in the line are pow
cred with an exceptionally fast
and powerful L-head engine
which develops 67.5 horsepower.
The cars low, long, graceful
h lines are accentuated by the
slender design of the radiator
and hood and the molding which
extends around the body Of the
car. A distinctive treatment of
both line and color is evident in
the luxurious Fisher bodies which
are finished throughout with
fully chromium plated exterior
hardware.
A distinctive and major i'm
provement is found in the new
type of tilt nonglare windshield
which was pioneered by the
Marquette.

Big Gains in Maryland

4,UO0UUO people QlreCIIy ana 4UU,-

Big Gains in Maryland
Granted the accuracy of this
estimate of the importance Of
road building to the prosperity
of the automotiVe induStry-and
I do not think this can be ques-
tioned-it is clear that the vast
sums contemplated for 1880 means
this year will be better than 1929,
since the projected expenditures
constitute a decided increase over
the amounts thus spent in 1929.
Just how much this increase is
really going to amount t" is indi-
Gated by the fact that the eSti-
mated expenditures IN Maryland
and Virginia for road building in
1880 shows a Jump oi approx
mately $2O,0O0,000 over the 1929
totals.
Likewise there is a very real
connection between car sales and
easy operation of cars. In other
words, anything done to make
driving more Of pleasure is re-
flected in, the number OF cars
purchased and the steady growth
of the movement for uniformity
in traffic regulations is another
favorable factor for 1880.
Closely related to this is the
decided tendency towards StlfGen-
ing the regulations which insure
that the cars which are operated
on the highways are mechanically
safe. Though the Safety-ReSpOnSl-
bility Act drafted by a committee
of the American Automobile AooO-
ciation is but year old it has
already been adopted in whole Or
in part by u States and is unGor
consideration at the present t4mC
locally by the State of Virginia
and by Congress. Legislation Of
this character will do muCn TO
drive the Junk cars off our roads
thus adding to the safety of the
highways for other users and will
also add to the legitimate re.
placement demand.
Recognized Economics
1T is now we'll recognized in
American economic plans that
large legitimate expenditures and
liberal wage scales make for gen
eral countrywide prosperity. 1T
is equally we'll recognized that
this country is still building for
the future and that civic eXpendi-
lures are most economical Whe l
based on anticipated needs rather
The Washington times., 1930-01-25

than on those of the present.
Throughout the country there is
very generally a need for widen
ing existing highways, many Of
which were built to accommodate
traffic of other days. One Of the
encouraging signs of the time is
the fact that there is a growing
appreciation of this fact and
every indication points TO ia"
greater expenditures along these
lines in 1880.
In the District and surround
ing territory the 1880 program
along these lines is very ambi-
tiou5. The National Park and
Planning Commission is planning
for the development of an area
within a 20.mile radius Of Wash
ington. This "regionap or met
ropolitan area" system of high
way planning is in accordance
with the best thought on the
subject since it enables the ViSC-
alization Of the traffic problems
Of community as whole rather
than in a patchwork manner
Likewise Virginia and Maryland
have enacted legislation for The
appointment of a Joint commits
sion with the District Of Colum-
bia to work out methods of Eeci-
procity in connection with auto
mobile matters SO as to produce
greater uniformity along these
lines.
These. I take it, are all indi-
cations that Washington and
vicinity will be in step with the
rest of the country and will share
in the general prosperity which
seems so clearly certain in 1890

Missing and Bucking
Blamed on Spark Plug

Missing Of the engine and
"0ucking' frequently blamed on
the carbuetor are often due to
nothing more than improper
adjustment Of spark plug or
breaker gaps or both Before
making carburetor adjustment
N high compression engines the
car owner or mechanic should
make sure that the plug gap is
adjusted according to the car
manufacturer recommendation,
and breaker contact points are
filed square and likewise adjusted.
Dirty or worn out plugs also
cause trouble often blamed on
the carbuue etor. and spark plugs
and breaker contact points should
be examined at least twice a
year.
