RAIN OR SHINE OPENS
 AT CAPITOL TOMORROW

With the concluding presenta- tions of The Thirteenth Chair" at the Capitol Theatre tonight, Rain or Shine" which for two seasons broke all records for attendance on Broadway, and then was made into film by Columbia Pictures, will be shown at the popular play house tomorrow evening.
 Joe Cook, who starred in the stage version, plays his original role on the screen. On the stage he scored one of the greatest personal successes it is possible for an actor to achieve.
 Rain or Shine" was written by James Gleason, author of "Is Eat So," "The Shannons of Broadway and other popular stage and screen hits. The dialogue of this film of circus life follows most closely the stage version.
 The cast is of stellar proportions, including such personalities as Lou ise Fazenda, Joan Peers, William Collier, Jr, Alan Roscoe, Adolph Milar and Clarence Muse.
 Through Fire and Water I Cook literally went through fire and water in the making of this spectacular comedy.
 The first scene in the manu- script calls for a terrific downpour of rain and the last scene like wise. Then there is sequence oi the picture which depicts the burn ing down of a complete circus. IT.

was always on the level with his pals.
 When, however, McLaglen gets them into real estate swindle, and it looks as if their life savings have been lost, they temporarily lose faith in him, but they get their money back and all is well.
 The real estate racket is engi- neered by a beautiful woman who flirts with McLaglen from an office window opposite his perch in the air. This character is enacted by Lilyan Tashman, well known vamp of the films.
 While McLaglen is losing in his love affair, as he does in all his pictures, Harrigan and Mary Mc- Alister develop a romance that has an important bearing on the story which is sparkling in dialogue and exciting in action.
 The picture was directed by Irv- | ing Cummings and James K. Me- Guinness, associate producer, was in general charge of the rroduction. Thrilling Life Story Victor McLaglen's life story IS even more romantic and thrilling and at the same time, more color ful than any fiction character he has played in pictures. He was born in London.
 A six footer at IA, weighing close to 200 pounds, he ran away from home to enlist in the Boer War. After three years of fighting, he went to Canada, later joining the gold rush to the Colbat silver mines, where he became the camps champion boxer and wrestler.
 When the town burned he re- turned to Canada and, piloted by "Biddy" Bishop, won the heavy weight championship of Eastern Canada. The high spot of his ring career was reached when he

 With Carnival Company
 McLaglen also toured Canada and the United States with carnival company, meeting all corners, after which he made vaudeville tour.
 When this tour ended, he went to Australia and arrived just in time to join the Kalgoorie gold rush, al- most dying of thirst on the desert Then he toured Ceylon, India and Africa. Arriving in Capetown, he learned of the World War Hasten ing home to England, he enlisted with four of his seven brothers.
 At the end of the war, McLaglen returned to London where motion picture producer induced him 10 embark on his present career.

 To keep the weather conditions aligned with the schedule of pro- duction was one simple task con- fronting the Columbia studio off, cials. That is it would have been simple if the scenes were to be made inside the sound-stage studio, where weather conditions are made to order, but it was not.
 Mysteries In Ghogtly Room
 In "The Thirteenth Chair" show ing for the last times tonight, are strange mysteries in a ghostly room; voices from the great beyond, exposing of mediumistic tricks and the dramatic solution of baffling murder mystery.
 Margaret Wycherly, who created Rosalie La Grange, the medium, in the original stage offering, plays the role which she had in the stage play and has a battle of wits with the police for the life of her daugh- ter.
 Conrad Nagel and Leila Hyams play the romantic leads in the new play. Bella Lugosi, who played "Dracula" on the stage, plays the uncanny inspector, Delzante, who solves the queer mystery with the aid of the spirit medium.

land, before his death, for the
study of the early stages OF dis
ease, a field which he conSid-
cred was much neglected.
Studying the diet Of 154 fam
lilies it was found that on the
average they were all eating less
protein and less starch than
they should, and more fat. The
exact figures are as follows:
Percentage of Total Galleries.
Protein hydrate Fat
Ideal Standard -. " 81 lS
Actual. as eaten.,.. IL - 81
There is no reason to sup
pose that these figures would
be any different if any aver

were studied.
A Queer Result
A strange finding was that
the total number Of calories
consumed per person per day
on the average was 3,1OO for
manual laborers, and $500 a
day for those in sedentary
occupations. 1t is recognized
that those with sedentary occu-
pations expend much energy
on outdoor games and exercis-
ing, but it hardly seems pos
sible they would need as much
as a manual laborer. Can it
be that the fellow playing golf
is really using up as much
energy as his friend welding a
pick? Or can it be that the
fellow with the pick rests more
than he seems to do?
Nutrition experts say that if
more food is eaten than actual
requirements call for and is
not stored in the form of extra
body weight, it goes into luxus
consumption or secondary
dynamic action.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

When the ytold Mrs. Leslie
Carter that David BelaSco was
dead, she wept bitterly. And, in
her new loneliness, she remem-
bered words he had once said:
THE SOUL Is A VERY
LONELY THING. LONELY TT
COMES HERE AND LONELY
TT GOES THERE. A QUIET
NIGHT AMONG THE TREES
A GLIMMER IN THE MIST
THAT SOON GOES OUT
AND THERE TT GOES UPON
IT'S JOURNEY - AID
WHERE?"
The soul goeS-where? We do
not know. And many, facing
that fact, will despair and say:
"He was right. 1 have friends,
good job, many interests, but
in spite Of all that my soul is
lonely-incurably lonely. I can
not feel the presence Of God.
cannot even feel the love Of
man-not in the very depths Of
my soul. Love is only a ro-
mantle word and life is a tragic
trick. I do not know why I
am here. I do not know where
I am going. My existence is a
mystery and everything ends
in a blank. There is no use
trying to do anything, there
is no use believing in anything,
with only the grave ahead"
The Lonely Soul
Some, despairing, will say
that. But others will answer:
"He spoke the truth-the soul
is lonely. It is with us as the
old verse says:
Men are spirits clad in wells,
Man by man was never seen,
All our striving somehow fails
To lift that which lies between
=. Eyes, my soul is lonely. But
that does not mean that my
soul is a forgotten or trivial
thing. 1t simply means that
each soul is Q proud and a
separate thing. My soul may
walk and work with other
souls, but it must always live
and learn for itself. It must
make its own happiness and
discover its own truths and
bear its own blame.
Mystery Of Life
''If my soul has the courage
to stand its own lonelineSS-if
it will not fool and hurt itself
by expecting other people to
solve its problemS-then life
can be a great adventure. For
there is something to be
learned from everything in life.
eft is true that life is a mys-
terry. We cannot hope to
The Washington times., 1931-06-09

understand it. But it is q
great and noble mystery and
we can wonder and admire
even if we cannot understand.
And no matter how long it
lasts. even if it does not last
beyond the grave. life is
worth while.
"Just to have loved a few
people. . to have done a little
good work. to have seen and
felt the beauty Of the earth.
to have had a few splendid
dreams. to have risked q few
brave experiments. to have
played with babies. to have
known the loyalty Of a friendly
dog. to have seen Honor and
Courage and Generosity stand
ing like tall, white mountains
above the sordid Struggle-just
that is enough to make life
worth while.
But it costs? Yes, it costs.
If we are intelligent enough to
think, sensitive enough to feel,
then we are bound to think and
feel paint as well as pleasure.
But what Of it? Pain is q small
price to pay for the great privi-
lege Of thought and feeling.
Love is worth anything it costs,
even though it brings anguish.
And so are all the other great
experiences Of life.
He Was Alive!
David BelaSco knew that.
That is why he accepted all
the challenges in life. That is
why he stayed so tremendously
alive, until the very end. AND
WHY SHOULD WE SAY THAT
HE HAS COME TO THE END?
IF HIS SOUL COULD SUR
VIVE THE LONELINESS OF
LIFE, CAN IT NOT SURVIVE
THE SOLITUDE OF DEATH?
MUST WE SAY THERE rs NO
OTHER LIFE, SIMPLY Be
CAUSE WE CANNOT UNDER
STAND THIS ONE?"
There are two answers to. the
same question. No one can say
which answer is right. No one
can say what the soul IS. no
one can say what It ISN'T. No
one can say that the soul goes
on. no one can say that it
DOESN'T. There is just as
much evidence to prove that life
is worth while and that life
persists as to prove that, it
isn't and doesn't. It is all a
mystery. But you can do this
YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR
OWN ANSWER.
You can choose to deSpair-or
to hope.

There is no such thing as a
normal diet, in the strict sense
of the term. That is to say,
there is no diet that everyone is
agreed upon, which must be fol-
lowed in order to be healthy.
Certain things must be present
in any diet that is healthy, but
the proportion Of different in
gradients can vary in two differ
ent diets quite widely and still
the two people eating them be
healthy.
Early Stages Of Disease
HOW close do average families,
eating whatever comes along
day after day, come to the ideal
mathematical requirements of a
normal diet? The question has

The evening had been more
than justified. But her Shoul-
derS ached from fatigue; and
once or twice during the sup
per, which you ate off Of
knees, the old sense Of sickness
had overtaken Jenny.
Ramon had not been there.
She had taken Tom Lamentier,
widowed brother-in-law Of a
Wilke-Barre, on the thousand
dollar check that should have
admitted Rarick himself. Ra-
mon, on one Of the absences
that was becoming more and
more intolerably mysterious to
her, was off on a weekend at
the Shooting-lodge Of one Of
the SonS-in-law of Mrs. Emanie
Bursilip, an inclusion that was
fantastic, so far as the burly
Harrington Powers, who had
married Edith BurSilap was
concerned, and which must
have been manipulated at no
small discretion by his mother
in-law.
Ramon to Return
But at any rate, Ramon was
returning tomorrow, and Jenny
was lunching with him, quite
openly, as they did upon rare
occasions, at the Ritz. They
must talk things out. Oh, how
imperative it was that they
talk things out! Something
corrosive and frightening was
at the heart of Jenny.
There was a list of memo
randa under the lamp Of her
dressing-table that had been
left there by her secretary,
Miss Dang, and holding it
down, as paper-weight, a small

seal SplaShed over it. It con-

The time had come when
Jenny, no one the wiser. was

clipping such gifts off the edge
Of her magnificence.
She had already presented
Ramon with star-sapphire cuff
links off the rear end Of an.
other necklace; and the large
Canary diamond center to an
other cigarette-case had been
pried out by a jeweler and re-
placed with a blue diamond
from a ring which Jenny no
longer fancied. The canary had
been worth thousands, and it
was like Ramon, lover of beauty,
to defer selling it, even in the
face of needs that clamored.
One memorandum reminded
her of an exceptionally early

would have to wait. Appar-

bothersome. There was some
thing casual about the message.
