"SIDE SHOW"
OPENS AT APOLLO

What is said to be a fine combi-
nation of entertainment for au-
diences ranging from the ages of 6
to so, is to be seen in the Warner
Brothers production, "Side Show"
which is the current attraction at
the Apollo theater.
The story of the film centerS
around circus side show life, with
Winnie Lightner and Charles But
terworth sharing the comedy hon
ors. 1t Is believed that either one
of these alone would be enough to
make the picture an hilarious eve
ning's entertainment. Both to-
gether they make it one of the rare
comedy treats of the season, it is
claimed.
In keeping with the atmosphere
Of the circus, the freaks, stunts and
animals are inclined to please the
kiddies, while the romance that is
interviewer in the picture will hold
the interest of the grownups.
Donald Cook and Evalyn Knapp
provide the love interest. Cook is
seen as the barker, the lover of
Winnie Lightner, until her sister,
Evalyn Knapp, steps into the pic
ture. Then the fun begins.
Between her moments of clown
ing, which she substitutes as hui
morous side show freaks-such as
the hula girl, fire diver and canni-
L. r 49,
her versatility. 1t is she who is torn
between love for the barker and
for her younger sister.
The large supporting cast in
cludes, besides the well-knoWn
freaks. several players who con-
tribute much to heighten both the
comedy and dramatic interest. Out
standing are Mathew Betz, as the
villainous boss canvas man, and
Guy Kibbec, who plays the part of
the genial, but tipsy circus owner.

PRINCIPAL, Il,
To RETIRE

Terminating 48 years of con-
tinuous service in the District
public school system, Walter B.
Patterson, supervising principal
in charge of special education,
will be retired June 80 at the age
of II years.
Mr.. PattersOn's retirement was
deferred until this year because
his SEVENTEEN birthday last year
fell two days after the formal
closing Of the school year and
therefore could not be effective
then.
Mr.. Patterson's first service in
the local school system was in
July, 1883, when he was appointed
a teacher in the eighth grade at
the Grant School. In September
of the same year, he was ap-
pointed principal Of the Force
School.
A native of Manchester, N. H.,
the educator attended the local
public schools and remembers the
days when his classes were held
under the same roof as a livery
stable at Thirteenth Street and
New York Avenue Northwest.

2,10O GUT FROM
POSTAL JOBS

Decrease in mail volume the
last year has led to a cut in post
office personnel of 2,100 workers,
First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Coleman said today.
Charges Service Hurt
This reduction. which means a
curtailment Of service, will be
sharply fought in the next Con-
gress, Representative j. Clyde
Kelly of Pennsylvania declares,
saying further:
eff the President and Post
master General Brown intend
to curtail service to effect
economies it will be a bad
policy and will be opposed in
Congress.
Increased volume of mail Is
the answer to the postal prob
lem of today and we certainly
can't get an increase by
reduction in service"

effected has come about through

LOCAL POLOLSTS
BOW TO YUMA in
OPENING CONTEST

Outridden, outplayed and outgen-
eraled, El Centro's newly formed
polo team yesterday afternoon was
defeated in its first game by a
squad of four malleteers from Yuma
who rode roughshod to score seven
goals. while the FL Centre riders
seldom threatened and never scored.
With four years of polo expert
ence behind them. the Yuma men
were far superior to the locals. Lack
of coordination and team work ac-
counted for the inability Of the
valley team TO push the ball across
the goal.
Considering the difference in the
playing experience of the two
squads the FL Centrans did well 10
hold the score TO TO o.
Another big factor in the defeat
of the valley players was their lack
of mounts. Most of the riders were
forced TO use one pony throughout
the game with the result that the
horses became tired long before the
expiration of the playing period.
Captain Johnny Walker Of the
Yuma squad was large sized con-
sideration in his teams victory
while Frank Smyer and Jesse Hill
put up the toughest fight for the
losing four
Numerous substitutionS were
made in the local lineup during the
fray, with the result that almost
all of the players who have prac-
ticed during the past two months
in preparation for this game got TO
ride for at least a portion OF the
contest.
