GLORIA SWANSON IN WHAT A WIDOW; AND. CHINAWARE
 AT NEW GARDEN

Gloria Swanson in a modern com edy, with nodernistic sets of revo- lutionary design, smart clothes ga- lore, three new popular songs and a supporting cast headed by owen Moore, Lew Cody and Margaret Liv- ingston. Such are the ingredients of What Widowl", the stars most recent talking and singing picture showing at the New Garden to-day for the last times.
 In the title role of Miss Swanson appears as young and attractive widow, filled with an ambition to make up for years of boredom, by seeking romance in Paris. While Owen Moore has the featured role as young attorney he finds himself with considerable competition, for among those eager to aid the widow in her determination to live and learn are a night club dancer, Rus sian violinist and a Spanish baritone, played by Lew Cody, Gregory Gaye and Herbert Braggiotti.
 Turning the tables on the staid older folks provides sparkling theme for four brilliant young play CTS and splendid supporting cast in "Fast and Loose," a Paramount pie ture which is also on the bill. The point of this Imaginable romantic drama is that the younger genera ton, while mad and merry, are not as mad as they're painted, and the point is put across with a verve and

4TEN GENTS A DANCE" WITH BARBARA STANWYCK PLEASES
 PATRONS OF MARINERS STATE

Just when the public begins wish ing for screen entertainment with a new slant, some producer comes along and releases a picture that gets away from the beaten track and offers variation in theme treat
 ment and direction. This time Co., lumbia Pictures has turned the trick. with 'Ten Cents a Dance,'
 which features Barbara Stanwycis and Is directed by Lionel Barry more. The photoplay started a three day run at the Warner Bros State theater yesterday.
 In the story we find girl of ex- cellent background, compelled by circumstance to seek a living in a dance pavilion, where the dancing
 hostesses meet all corners for the
 munificent stipend of ten cents a
 dance. We'll, take it from Barbara,
 it's tough way to make living.
 Then there is young man, hand
 some, but sort of useless and
 there's a love affair, impetuous and
 interesting and very different. Not
 to forget rich man-about-town, who is fond of Barbara. There are complications, like inconyenient marriages and there are strange situations that will challenge your imagination to equal. Best of all there is a surprising ending. To give more of the story here would take away from the enjoyment of those who are going to see the picture. It is the manner of telling the story which makes this offering refresh- ingly different.
 < The feature picture. surrounded by a great program of short subjects,
 is shown daily at 2:20, 4:45, 7:00 and

A galaxy of stellar names are to be found in the casts of the two feature pictures playing a three day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand which concludes with per- formances tomorrow evening.
 Bill Boyd in Beyond Victory heads the deluxe program.
 Beyond Victory, makes depar- ture from the beaten path of film drama. Instead of one story it tells four. each complete in itself and unrelated to the others. These are held together with war sequence where the lives of the principal mas culine characters come into contact. Although the war scenes are q minimum part of the story, it is said that some of the finest battle stuff yet filmed has been included in them. An unusual feature is the fact that they have all been made at dawn to obtain realistic effects.
 Headed by Bill Boyd. the cast boasts an imposing galaxy of names. Boyd, James Gleason, Russell Glea- son, Lew Cody and Fred Scott play the five soldiers. Prominent in the civilian sequences are Marion Shil-

7 TRAFFIC CHIEF
To KEEP job

With enactment by Congress
Of the new District traffic bill
virtually assured in the near
future, the question of what will
become of Traffic Director
William H. Harland and his as
sistant, M. o. Eldridge, arises.
The answer is they will remain.
The bill provides for the abo-
lition of the office of traffic di.
rector and the vesting in the
Board of District Commissioners
the power of traffic control.
When the bill was being argued
in the Federation of Citizens
Associations, the question of the
status of the traffic director and
his assistant arose and was put
to the District Commissioners.
The Commissioners replied that
they had no intention of making
any changes in the bureau per-
Sonnel and intimated the inten-
ton of retaining both Mr.. Har-
land and Mr.. Eldridge.
The traffic bill was passed
Saturday by the House and is
expected to be approved soon by
the Senate.
