Seaside Park Is
Busy Resort

Seaside Park, Chesapeake
Beach, was a cool haven of refuge
from the summer heat over the
weekend for thousands of Wash
ingtonians. It was the busiest
Saturday and Sunday enjoyed by
the bay resort since the opening
of the season more than a month
ago.
The weather was ideal for both
bay and pool bathing. The large
Seaside salt water pool made its
first big splash of the season as
a refreshing swim was the first
thought of most of the visitors.
Saturday about 5000 church ex-
cursioniSts practically took over
the park and engaged in all kinds
of games and athletic contests
until Sundown. 1t was one of the
most enjoyable picnics ever held
at Seaside.
The resort management is
looking forward to a big Fourth,
providing the weather continues
favorable.

Joe Cook Is Razzed

What's this? What's this?
Good, old Joe Cook, squire OF
Lake Hopatcong, is howled down
in London. My word and what
no. old top. Well, it seems that
the galleries couldn't hear well
when the new musical comedy,
Fan Fare" had its premiere,
and the London top-shelf audi
ence never keeps quiet when it
feels itself sighted. So, Joe had
to cut short his after-the-curtain
speech.
The London Times critic says:
"COOk's is the kind Of humOr
which quickly exhauStS itself,
but he makes it last remarkably
well, and it might go further.
still If it were not so often
inaudible."
Ed Wynn is another leading
comic who is having his troubles.
Over the radio he remarked
"that a friend of his failed to OBJ
tain an automobile drivers license
because he failed to stick out his
hand-with a S. bill in it,"
The commissioner Of motor
vehicles in New York scented a
,deep-dyed insult and demanded
an apology. Poor Ed liSpthed it
was all in fun.
Is the world losing its sense Of
humor'or what. Alexandria and
good old Hyattsville have long
been the butt of the comics on
the Washington stages, but con-
trive to keep happy in spite OF
the pantaloons.

Phar Laps Owner
Fooled By This Title

The day before his wonder
horse died, David j. Davis,
Australian owner of the late
Phar Lap, winner of the Aqua
Caliente handicap, was visiting
Alfred E. Green, First National
Pictures director at the Burbank
studios.
Davis thought he was really
going to have treat on Green's
set where Green was directing
a picture called The Dark
Horse" which is now playing at
Warner Bros. Earle Theater. He
learned to his astonishment,
however, that it is not a racing
picture but a political picture.
He enjoyed his visit, anyway.

not felt at the box office.
The Cochran-Brooke Players
might have continued another
fortnight and tried out two new
plays had stage hands been will
ing to cooperate by taking a cut
in wages. The stage hands said
mo" and the plan was accord
ingly abandoned. "a Church
Mouse" provided the most sue
cessful week. Captain Apple
jack" the poorest.
Seven musicians were paid for
the full 10-week season without
footing a note. 1t was the man
agement's gesture of resentment
against what was considered ex-
orbitant demands of the musl-
clans union. On Saturday night
Chris Arth was suddenly hidden
to assemble his idle orchestra tor
the final performance.
The order caught Maestro Arth
unawareS. He was unable to
roundup his melody makers for
the unexpected call. So the eighth
season passed into history with
out benefit of sharps and flats.

About That Red Head

Men and money were what the
red-headed Lii Baldwin of Kath-
crime. Brush's novel craved and
went after. If love happened in
as an incidental of the quest,
Q. K. At least that's the way I
summed up the heroine co of
"Rer-headed Woman"
hollywood made quite a few
changes in adapting the story to
the screen and some of them
might come under the head of
improvements. They didn't soften
the character of Lii a particle, in
fact they made the chiseling siren
worse cheat and unscrupulous
strumpet than did the original
manuscript. For instance, LiIs
campaign to marry Bill LeGendre
was not as direct ard violent in
attack as Hollywood has filmed
1t. There was greater subtlety and
more of the fineSse designed to
conceal motive and purpose. Lii
had little appeal for she did
try to go straight for time after
her marriage until she became
convinced she was a social misfit.
In the novel Lil'S trip to New
York results in an alliance with
the tremendously wealthy Gaerste.
But she was still mercenary
enough to reason out Bill Legen-
Dire would pay we'll to be rid of
her. So she goes back to Renwood
and collects $25,000 from Bills
pa as the price of freedom. Then
returns to Gaerste.
I liked Jean Harlow in a
Theda Bara vampire role. She
has overcome that impression of
ennui and studded boredom
which characterized her earlier
appearances. But the picture on
the Palace screen would have
been better had more attention
been paid to casting. Thus a
David Manners type of actor to
play Bill Legendre instead of the
pugnacious Chester Morris and
Una Merkel was wholly unsuited
for the role of Sally.
It seems to me that Katherine
Brush gets the worst of it when
Hollywood tried to fit actors to
her characters. AS I recall
Young Man of Manhattan" the
important role of Puff Randolph,
(boarding school ingenue) was
intrusted to Ginger Rogers.
What stupidity. Particularly as
the Paramount Astoria studio at
the time was overrun with attrac-
tive ingenueS who would at least
have looked the part.

Bette Davis Eyes

Am I getting too particular or
is Hollywood growing careless in
the matter of makeup? Take
Bette Davis eyes in 1.-THE Dark
Horse" She has those black
imitation lasheS and they are
poorly applied. At least it is
apparent they are not genuine
adornment. The Bette Davis
orbs are of the protruding kind
or what might be called pop
eyes. Therefore they require
artful makeup. In Man Who
Played God" she was beautifully
photographed. In two pictures
made since that Arliss feature
she has not been caught by the
camera to the best advantage.
Bette Davis needs more attention
if Warner Brothers are to build
her up and invite comparison to
Constance Bennett.

1882 To Be Great
Year for Juniors

The year 1882 will go down in
history as the year OF the
juniors" The second generation
of motion picture personalities
is upon us. Yesterday Carl
Laemmle, jr., general manager OF
Universal City, assigned to another
Junior his first role in motion pic
lures. He is Enrico Caruso, Jr.
The late Enrico Caruso was far
better known in opera than he
was in motion pictures. His only
son, Enrico Caruso, jr., who also
has an exceptional tenor voice,
has been assigned a role in Uni
versals picture, "Airmail," with
Ralph Bellamy, Pat O'Brien, Slim
Summerville, Russell Hopton,
Gloria Stuart and Lillian Bond.
John Ford is directing.
And here are some other juniors.
Noah Beery, jr., in his second pic
ture for Universal. Recently, he
made his screen debut in Heroes
of the West" and is now working
in 1.-The Jungle Mystery" by Tel
bot Mundy. Ferdinant Schumann-
Heink, son of the famous singer,
has a role with Tom Mix in MY
Pal. the King"
Tom Brown of Culver" has a
number of juniors. Some of their
fathers we're famous in the pic
ture world a generation ago. They
include Tyrone Power, jr., in his
first picture, and Norman Phillips
jr., Creighton CLANCY, Wally Reid,
jr., and Will Rogers son will also
have their break in pictures this

Glen Echo Lures
Big Crowds

The old swimming hole never
proved more Of a lure than the
fine Crystal Pool at Glen Echo
Park over the weekend.
Midsummer temperatures were
ignored by the hundreds who
were fortunate enough to enjoy
this recreation. Others over Sat
urday and Sunday went in for
various amusements provided by
the big park. The Airplane Swings,
Roller Coasters, the Whip, Old
Mill, Midway and dozens of
smaller amusements were never
idle for a minute.
Throughout the park, picnic
parties enjoyed the many facili-
ties provided by the management
for their comfort and enjoyment.
Saturday evening the breeze
swept ballroom attracted couples
from Washington and surround
ing country, who danced to the
great music of MacWilliamS and
his talented musicians.

lsadore Bernstein Is
Experienced Author

"No Greater Love-" the Colum-
bia picture that is pulling heart
strings at Warner Bros. Metropol-
itan Theater, was written by Isa-
dore Bernstein, who has been in
the motion picture industry for
many years. He has either di'
rected, written or produced more
than 200 pictures.
Bernstein'S knowledge of screen
timing is excellent. He has put
into mo Greater Love-" which he
himself adapted from his own
story called And God Smiled" a
combination of pathos and com.
edy that brings to it a great dra-
matte balance.

time, at any rate. And when
the show opened out of town,
the boy was billed as the lead
i:-g juvenile.
After the opening perform
ance, however, the producer
realized that he had made a
mistake. The boy was a likable
fellow, but he needed plenty of
additional experience to play
such a role capably.
Thus, the producer was in a
quandary, which makes a de-
licious dish when served hot
with Roquefort cheese dressing.
Here he had engaged a boy
who was not strong enough for
one of his principal roles. The
days were passing. 1t was no
easy matter to find capable
substitute at short notice.
Naturally, he was worried.
Some five days after the out
of.toWn opening, the producer
summoned several of his ad-
visers to discuss the matter.
All of them agreed that the
boy must go as soon as pos
Sible.
The conversation was inter
rupted by the arrival of a note
addressed to the producer. He
read it hurriedly and went into
a grin from ear to ear. For
the note was from the boy they
had Just been discussing.
Dear Mr.. S." it read. Il
know you. are extremely busy
at this time, but 1 feel that
YOU will understand how i'm

immediate response from you.

success 1 have scored in this

tice to me-yOu should raise
my pay at once"
Here's a New Racket
Bill Blake, a kindly and cour'
teous gentleman, was driving
his Hudson along a New Jersey
road a short time ago when he
noticed that his gas was low.
He pulled into a gas station and
ordered the attendant to fill his
tank. The latter gentleman
walked to the rear of the car,
stood there for a moment and
then came back.
you've had a tough break"
he announced. "You probably
don't know it but your gas tank
cap is missing. It must have
dropped off while you were driv-
ing"
Mr.. Blake asked what could
be done about it, even as you
and I.
WELL" replied the attendant,
I have an Oakland cap that I
think will fit your tank. If it
does you can have it,"
The cap did fit. Mr.. Blake
paid the gasoline bill and then
slipped the attendant 50 for
his trouble and courtesy. He
felt that he was lucky, at that.
The day before yesterday,
which would make it some five
weeks later, Mr.. Blake was
driving along the same road.
And it just so happened that
he turned into the same sta.
ton for gas. The same
