CHAREs FARRELL liquor-and yoC
actually believe it until you sex
him besmear his face with the
tell-tale marks Of a woman's lip
sticked kisses and sprinkle his
coat with seductive perfume anc
wash his mouth with cognac.
The story, which takes place
between England and France in
the closing days of the Worlo
War, is the old theme Of the
diurnity of an Army aviator's
life. But the story is rehatched
with original and complicated
love quadrangle, in which the
principals are Charley and his
new sweetheart, ELISA Landi.
Miss Landi, better adapted to
her dual role of frothiness and
emotion than either of Charleys
former girl friends, Janet Gayner
and Maureen O'Sullivan, is a
product of London-cool, regal
and beautiful. Fox Corporation
has spent plenty Of money on
blonde ELISA, but although she
is charming and alluring, she is
not strong and decisive.
Dialogue Falters
The dialogue, which drags at
times, is nevertheless particularly
poignant in spots. Especially
when Humphrey Bogart, chosen
to make a solo flight to haul
down an enemy balloon, says:
81 don't want to be a hero.
I don't want to be q hunk
Of cold meat. I want to live"
Again we wonder why the
stage show director insists on
making his 18 Sunkist Beauties
put on a singing number. Chorus
girls can't sing. But the Sunkist
Beauties can dance, and when
they do q woodland scene with
a profuseness Of fans, they are
exceptionally effective.
Whitley Roberts, novelty dancer
and comedy singer, is the star
of the show. He puts over an
excellent dance in which he
winds in and out of a rope while
he does a rhythmic tap dance.
The entire stage show, called
the "New Yorker" is laid in the
metropolitan area of the great
city, and with the assistance of
Marjorie Burke, Dorothy Bartosh
and Phyllis DuBarry, songsters
and dancers; Joe Rose, an aero
batic dancer, and Bobbie Callahan
and Warren Jackson, comedians,
it is little more than mediocre.

turning, finds his "job" taken by
more industrious, if less patriotic,
Americans. Finding it impossible
to get honest work, he is forced
into an illegitimate, though profit
able, business, and becomes quite

Holt Leads Cast
Jack Holt plays the part, and
makes a much neater gangster
than the usual "burly" variety.
Tom Moore acts as his "pal," and
the honors of the picture are di-
vided between these two excellent
players. Constance Cummings, as
their mutual sweetheart, com.

The picture is packed with
thrills. It has romance, pathos
and tragedy; with sparkling dia-
logue and some excellent comedy
very tastefully distributed.
The Last Parade" is another
Of those pictures that depict the
inevitable tragic end of those
who choose racketeering as a pro-
fession. And we must say, the
movies are certainly doing their
part to show such professionals
the utter futility and error Of
their ways.

Hampton Institute
Choir Here March 2l

The negro choir of the Hamp-
ton Institute, which will appear
at Constitution Hall on the eve
ming of March 81, at $3.50, has
just returned from one of the
most remarkable European tours
in musical history.
This chorus of 40 voices, led by
DR.. Robert Nathaniel Dett, visited
16 European cities, most of the
musical centers of a civilization
rich in musical history and ira
dition. The choir made a lasting
impression by the simple artistry
of their performance as well as
by the novel repertoire of spiri-
tuals and folk songs presented.
In the majority of cities these
songs attracted immediate interest.
Nothing quite like them ever had
been heard before.

Strictly Dishonorable" is easily
the greatest comedy success of

the bounds of good taste. At

WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Practical Modern Furniture

NEW YORK, July eff you've
~ been noticing the so-called
modern furniture lately, you must
have seen how it mas changed from
those first bizarre pieces that SO
shocked established furniture tradi-
tions a few years ago.
And doubtlessly you've said to
yourself, as thousands of other fash
Knowing people have said
why, that's good looking! And
how practfcaf1 I think 1 could use
some of that in my home"
OF course you could. There
isn't any home that can't use at
least one or two pieces of the new
modern furniture to advantage, no
matter what it's present decorative
scheme.
To be sure, modern furniture
looks very different from the Early
American, the Queen Anne or the
Jacobean you. find in so many fash
ionable homes.
Provide Contrast
It's characterized by extreme
simplicity of line. And for this
reason a piece or two can be put
with any other kind of furniture
without clashing. AS a matter of
fact, the very difference in its de-
sign makes just that contrast note
that puts interest into room and
saves it from becoming monotonous.
Some of the first modern furni-
ture was comfortable and useful.
These new pieces are even
more so.
Built for Comfort
Sofas and chairs are designed
with ease as their first thought.
You'll find them built at the right
comfortable height from the floor,
with their backs at the right COM
Portable angle, their upholsterieS in
viting to rest.
Modern cabinets are definitely
designed to hold things-and lots of
things. And combination pieces
that take up little room but serve
more than one purpose are some of
the best ways of introducing mod
ern into your home-especially if
your home is one where space is
at a premium.
For instance. There are very sim
pie tables that are bridge table

Styles Cut
TO Enhance
IndiUiduaZ
BY JEAN PAToU

PARIS, July 9.-The afternoon
mode acquires much Of its character
from a number of details of cut
and trimming, all Of which are en-
hanced when woman lends them
her own particular individuality.
After the altogether too simple
afternoon styles of late years, even
those as recent as last summer,
believe the models I am showing
this year offer an even greater fan
tasy in respect to details Of cut as
well as Of trimming.
AS matter Of fact, if one wished
TO draw q conclusion from these
various characteristics, it newt
ably would be that we are evolv-
ing, slowly but surely, toward an
originality in dress we almost had
forgotten, and in regard to which
women were not very favorably
disposed. This seasons modes
are, I think, step in the right
direction.
Charm in Afternoon Dress
All the same, while women have
protested loudly against any inno-
Vstion in the general scheme Of
dress, few have been able to with
stand the charm of formal after
noon clothes.
The result is that today they
have accepted and are wearing
dresses which only last season they
would have dismissed as altogether
too eccentric. What Is more, they
now reluctantly admit that never
was there such charming, delight
full and becoming mode when prop
erly worn.
Each detail of the present after
noon styles proves, by its very di-
versity, how great is the fantasy
which presides at its creation. Take
sleeves, for example.
Sleeves Not Required
No longer are they subjected to a
rigid rule and, although the theme
may appear somewhat undecided at
times, they prove the suppleness of
Interpretation of modern fashions
as applied to form, length and trim-
ming.
A formal afternoon frock may
be sleeveless or. on the other hand,
the length may depend entirely on
the personality of the wearer.
Length of sleeve is neither ham
pered nor bound by any set rule.
You may have noticed, however,
that although women seem to favor
the short or sleeveless mode, this
is almost invariably and completely
Offset by the longer length of glove,
leaving little of the bare arm show
ing.
Generally speaking, though, If a
frock is sleeveless it usually is &C
companied by coat or jacket
which which may have sleeves. or
else a short cape movement con-
cealing the top of the arms.
Variations Wide
Lingerie accessories never have
been so daintily feminine nor so
varied of aspect as this season.
They represent IN important detail
rather than an accessory of the aft
ernoon frock. Other points that
matter are necklines and belts.
Length of skirt is a matter OF per-
sonality and figure.
One remarkable feature Of the
latest afternoon styles is that al
though their outstanding charac-
teristics are delightfully."- fanciful
and infinitely varied, they never
theless retain a distinguished air
and look Enthusiastically "lady-like. "
This, in my opinion, is the prin-
cipal attraction of the new formal
afternoon mode, and one Of para
mount Importance in regard to any
trend of fashion.
