DELUXE DOUBLE BILL AT STRAND TO CLOSE RUN
 WITH PERFORMANCE TONIGHT

Performances this afternoon and
 evening mark the final showing of
 the deluxe double feature bill now lat Warner Brothers Strand thedter.
 Betty Compson's admirers are de- lighterd with her latest role in "The Lady Refuses" feature attraction on
 the Strand bill.
 "The Lady Refuses combines every essential quality of fine, thor
 oughly satisfying screen entertain-
 ment with some outstanding features
 that make 1t unforgettable.
 The story, written by Robert Milton and Guy Bolton and adapted by
 Wallace Smith, who also wrote the dialogue, packs a truly powerful dra-
 matic punch, enhanced by an air of
 utter verity. The characters are so
 human the spectator is aware of
 having met them, yet so original they are refreshing.
 Consider. for example, the fact that both heroine and villainess of the picture are ''vamps!" Novel,
 isn't 1t, to find the handsome hero,
 narrow, somewhat vain, conceited and weak? To have a father hire an adventures to win his son back to him from another adventures The companion feature on the bill lis Paradise Island" with Kenneth

Nursing Mothers
 Diet Important
She Should Keep Herself
 Fit at All Times

The nursing mothers diet is the one thing that seems most frequent ly to go wrong. Everyone she meets tells her of some article of food she should tot eat until, if she obeys all the advice she receives, the poor mother has little left in her dietary. Different sections of the country too have different notions about foods that are injurious to mother and child. Tn one place it is fish, in an- other fresh vegetables or sour things of sweets. My advice to the nursing mother is to avoid all excesses in eating, and that being done. to eat the food to which she has been &C., customed before the baby was born, if 1t gives her no indigestion. Fish occasionally and plenty of meat are good milk-makers, and fresh green vegetables are a necessity. Sour things are harmless except when eaten in excessive quantities. Certain people do have food idiosyncrasies particular article of food disagrees repeatedly with her or with the baby, should be discontinued.
 The diet should. however, be a general one. avoiding monotony and the various kinds of food. It should also be a generous one, since the mother has two bodies to nourfsh instead of one. Three meals day may be sufficient but many women feel the need of little lunch in the middle of the morning and in the afternoon, and if this does not take away the appetite for reg ular meals 1t is very good thing. Three hearty meals day are nec- essity if the nursing mother expects to have enough milk for her baby; she should not neglect breakfast, luncheon, or dinner. For breakfast fruit and generous helping of cereal with cream and sugar, besides rolls, coffee (if such is her habit), eggs and bacon. For luncheon chop or cold meat, potatoes, one green vegetable, cocoa (made with milk) rather than tea, salad or fruit and a milk and egg dessert such as cus- tard, ice cream, blanc-mange, choco- late pudding, cornstarch pudding or tapioca. For dinner creamed soup made with milk, meat, potatoes, vegetables of all kinds, salad and again a dessert made of milk and eggs.

Hollywood.-If you want to be sure of having a good part in pic- ture. write 1t yourself.
 That's the motto James Gleason has adopted--and he'd found out that 1t is a pretty good one. Jimmy goes farther than that, too. Some- times he puts an extra character into a story that nobody but he can play. Then the studio has to hire him for the part. You see, Jimmy is writer as well as an actor, which gives him quite an edge on the poor fellows who can't do anything but act.
 T divide my time pretty evenly between writing and acting." he said as we lunched in the shady patio of his Beverly Hills home. But of the two I like writing the best-prob- ably because I'm so lazy. have to go to the studio when I'm working in picture but can stay right here at home and write.''

PASSION FLOWER"
 WE'LL ACTED DRAMA
 SHOWING AT THE LYRIC

Passion Flower William de Miles M-G-M picture which opened yesterday at the Lyric theater, is a well-done presentation of the popu- lar and much discussed novel by Kathleen Norris. The well-known roles of Classy, Dan, Dulce. Morado and Leroy Pringle are played by such excellent screen artists as Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford. Kay Francis, Lewis Stone and Winter Hall.
 The story is finely etched but very simple one of married life. The situation is one that is constantly occurring and recurring. The end is one too few people have the cour- to take. Martin Flavin, the play wright, has done splendid job of adaptation. Due to credit also goes to little Dickie Moore for splendid child's part. 4

Then. too. when he is work ing at home there is nobody to tell him that he must stay in and work ingfeda Of playing polo. And if there is one thing Jimmy loves more than anything else, it's playing polo. He's . good player. too.
 Right now Jimmy is busy writ ing . part for himself into Marion Davies, next picture. Irving Thal- berg, the young executive out at M- G-M, called Gleason q few days ago, signed him to play the part and then gave him the additional assign- ment of writing t into the story. Tn character and you can take 1t from us 1t will be some character. Jimmy's wife, Lucille Webster Gleason, was home when we arrived there accompanied by the kind of an appetite Jimmy says all newspa- per men have--and the kind he had when he was doing four shows q day in vaudeville. But she didn't stay long. She was all set for wo- mems club luncheon. And whether you believe 1t or not she says that she actually enjoys those affairs.
 Incidentally, with all of this .busi- ness of trying to find teams for pic- lures now, we can't understand how the producers have overlooked the Gleasons. They form one of the most perfect comedy teams ever seen on the stage or screen. And why not? They have worked to- gether for enough years. But of course. our executives couldn't be ex- pected to discover a team right un- der their very noses. That would be too simple. They must do some thing difficult.

Connecticut Reaches 72.24 Per Cent of l93l Quota
 Burlesque Auto Race Jazzes Up Campaign

The American Legion of this state Is doing its part in humorous but intensely interesting national mem- bership contest between the legion and the legion auxiliary. The con- test Is being conducted along the lines of 8 burlesque automobile race. Each department of the legion has been assigned some part of the auto which is assembled on the car when that state or department has attain ed its national membership quota.
 Connecticut, on March 6, had att tained 75.24 per cent of it's 1891 quota. The departments accessory in the auto race is the front bumper.
 The automobile type of member ship contest was decided on because of the fact that the legion's national convention will be held next Septem- Der in Detroit, Mich, famous for its automobile industries. The race started on January 1, and is being run in two phases. First is the assembly of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary auto mobiles in their respective assembly plants, and second Is the race be- tween the two national automobiles on the track which will end on May ..

 When 75 per cent of the national quota of either organization is reached, the automobile concerned must be brought out on the track. The report of March showed that the legion auto Is already on the track with four assembled parts, four departments having attained their quotas. The auxiliary auto is still in it's garage, having attained only 70 per cent of it's quota. The auxiliary car. however, has assem- bled one part. the starter, due to the fact that the auxiliary department of Rhode Island has attained its quota.

 Following the Simon report, the British government decided to hold an Indian round-table conference in London early in 1890. But Gandhi and his congress friends decided to boycott the conference and did so.
