Mrs. Sanger alks
On Birth Control

Whatever their personal views,
ministers of the gospel, physicians
and surgeons, educators. econo-
mists. and people from all walks
of life will be interested in the
lecture to be given by Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger, birth control adVo-
cate, in the Washington Audi
torium on Tuesday night, May IL.
Under the auspices of several
prominent women's organizations,
this lecture-labelle an intimate
talk"-will be the first public ex-
preston of this moot question in
Washington since the Congress
of the United States considered a
birth control bill last February.
Mrs. Sanger, an intense student
of sociology, has fought the battle
for birth control-and the right
to disseminate literature on the
subject-these past several years
Everywhere. at home and in for.
eign countries. she is looked upon
as the outstanding champion of
the subject. Her lecture in the
auditorium will naturally attract
opponents and proponents.

TENNIS MATCH
FOR TITLE
ON AIR

The long-heralded match be-
tween William Tilden and Vim
cent Richards for the professional
championship of the world, mark
ing their first meeting in five
years, will be broadcast by Ted
Husing over the WABC Columbia
network direct from Madison
Square Garden, New York, to-
night, beginning at o'clock.
HuSing, who is a veteran of
numerous tennis broadcasts, hav-
ing described the national outdoor
and indoor singles and doubles
championships and other impor-
tapt tournaments, will broadcast
from specially constructed
booth. This point of vantage will
be located off the sideline of the
court and on the same line with
the net. He will be assisted by
Les Quailey, who will compile the
statistics of the match.
Since deserting the amateur
ranks in 1926 Richards has won
the national professional crown
on three occasions and is now the
permanent owner of the trophy.
Tilden, who recently completed
one of his most successful years
as an amateur, has been equally
as proficient since joining the
ranks of the paid last fall. Both
players have defeated Karel Koze-
luh, former professional title
holder.

RACKETEERING
SHORT CUT TO
DEATH

That racketeering, though some
times profitable, is unfailingly
hazardous is brought out starkly
in "The Public Enemy" the
Warner Bros. picture now playing
at Warner Bros. Earle Theater.
In the pursuit of their occupa-
ton, two young beer-racketeers
portrayed by James Cagney and
Edward Woods, meet their end
at an early age. This is in keep
ing with the statement made by
Chief of Detectives John Egan,
of Chicago, following the famous
st. Valentines Day massacre. He
estimated that the average life
of gangster is between thirty
and thirty-one years. This eSti
mate was made on the basis oi
some five thousand .gangstel
deaths during the ten years fol
lowing inception of Prohibition.
None Middle Aged
Of the seven killed in the
massacre, the oldest was 38 while
the youngest was %. 1t is rarely
that a racketeer remains in the
business long enough to approach
middle age, and very few at
tempts to break away from the
life have been successful. Thai
is almost as dangerous a move
as double-croSSing.
The Public Enemy" a drama
which offers the constantly in
creasing meance of youth trainec

and John Bright and adapted fol

William Boyd makes very

A year ago, when Coob was in

Although Lord Derby said both
the word and the event origi-

Cobb maintains that on this side
it should be pronounced derby"

A Feeble Story
1t impressed me yesterday
watching "Tarnished Lady" at
the Fox Theater, with Tallulah
Bankhead as it's star, that some
body in the Paramount organiza-
ton deserves a rebuke. Deserves
1t for taking an excellent actress
and wasting her fine talents on
such screen drivel as this Donald
Ogden Stewart story Author
Stewart may be a first "ate
humorist, but at writing movie
dialogue he is pretty much Of
hack. And if he knows anything
about building up dramatic
climax it is not evident in Tar
= nished Lady"
The story is jerkily told-much
like reading page 25 of novel,
then reading page 36 and skip
ping to page 89-and Miss Bank
head gets no help whatsoever
from George Cukor's completely
uninspired direction. AS a mat
ter of fact. the story is as thin
and weak as a bootlegger'S gin
and just about as kickleSS.
Has Ever! thing
What about Miss Bankhead? I
can pay her no higher tribute
than to say that she will probably
survive this anemic cinema and
go on to greater things. for she
has about everything needed to
attract the screen multitude. In
appearance she resembles Nancy
Carroll. and. at times. there is a
suggestion of the lamented Jeanne
Eagels and seXy Marlene DIETRICH.
But at all times she is her lovely
self. all enticing figure, with a
low-pitched. musical voice. COM
pletely at ease before the camera
and she haS-what most stage
players who know their business
bring to the studio-the poise and
studied assurance to makes lines
effective. 1t just is unfortunate
that her debut before the picture
