Andrew II. Kelley back to earLn
after a brief journey across the
Styx. He is told that his rebirth
allows him but six hours on this
mortal coil since the scientific in
vention which restores him to life
permits but a temporary revival.
Mr.. Baxter accordingly adjusts
his love affairs, serves justice,
fixes his diplomatic fences and

the diplomats desired.

Good Stage Show
Art Jarrett, from the radio
world, takes the top honors OF the
stage show with a group of topical
melodies delivered in tuneful
volume through the loud-speaker
system. The Great Yacobis are a
troupe of acrobats with tumbling
and flying tricks off the teeter
board that provide thrills.
Joe Frisco, with cigar and derby
gymnastics and eccentric dance
as his hit material, could stand
some more amusing patter. AS
it is, a South Sea wriggler-who
looks like one of the Harlem
neighbors-comes close to steal

Movie Of Thrills
and Fun at
Columbia

With a number of screen,
famous included in its castlist,
The Crooked Circle" at the
Columbia, is a mystery thriller
abounding in haunted houses,
weird sounds, and sliding panels
that open unexpectedly.
The picture, which is well
mounted and photog phi e d
shows the adventures of a young
man who becomes involved in
the nefarious activities of a GER
tain Crooked Circle" gang. He
follows them to a house, where
a series of startling events add
to the excitement. After several
mysterious happenings, the affair
StraightenS itself out, and the
climax shows that even you can
be wrong in your choice of
criminal.
Ben Lyon, as the young man
who becomes embroiled in ghosts
and murders, is likeable and
does we'll by his role. Irene
Purcell plays his girl friend, and
also manages to leave some
doubt as to her real identity to
make things more mysterious.
ZaSu Pitts, as a very fright
ened and hySterical lady, is just
that, and therefore is very anus
ing, as is Jimmie Gleason as a
rather illiterate and very scared
minnlon of the law. Among the
others in the cast are Raymond
Hatton, c. Henry Gordon and
Berton Churchill.
The remainder Of the program
includes a travelogue on Bang
kok, a long and not too funny
"Torchy" comedy, and the Gus
tomary neWSreel. THE Crooked
Circle" is decidedly the picture
for thrill-seekerS.

They were married about two
years when Woody met Adele.
Adele was a chorus girl. A very

Adele. She had brains. And
that's very, very unfortunate.
Woody had met chorus girls
before. In fact, he knew them

to keep those kiddieS from freez-

do this thing? For me?"
Margot stood up. She said
yes. Then, with her chin held

wiped her eyes and called the
maid.

Back from the dead. For six
hours. What happens?
Here is an imaginative theme
The Washington times., 1932-10-22
Usual Routine

Woody and Margot did the
usual things. They came back
to Newport in the summer, and
went to Nice for the winter.
Meanwhile, they kept a beau
tiful apartment in town on
Park Avenue. It was a tough
life.
Now Woody was strange
guy. Strange, that is, COM
pared with his society fellows.
Somehow, he didn't like New
port. And he got sick of Nice
very easily. Woody had flair
for Broadway. He liked shows,
and dancing and night clubs
where the society folk are
usually as synthetic as the gin.
Now Margot was different.
She liked the so-called upper
strata very well. She enjoyed
the formalities, the swanky
teas and the delicious items Of
gossip. She knew nothing
whatever Of Broadway, and
thought that "Abie's Irish
Rose" was a horticultural ex-
hibit.
Yet, despite this difference in
taste, Margot and Woody had a
great love and a greater respect
for each other. They both be-
lieved in the honor and sanctity
of the home, and would never
think of doing anything which
might drag the name Of Scatt
in the mud.
The only sour note in their
mutual existence was the elder
Mrs. Scatt. She, you might say,
was the finger in the eye. She
liked to make little speeches.
Little harmless sermons about
marriage and happiness and the
horror of divorce.
Remember" she'd say, wag-
ging finger at Woody. YOU'RE
a Scatt. A Scatt always does
the proper thing. Never become
involved in any scandal. Never
do anything that might hurt
your wife. And. above all, never
let your name be uttered in a
court of divorce"
Don't worry, mother" Mar.
got would assure her. woody
and I are very much in love.
Neither of us will ever change,
I'm sure. Divorce is the farthest
thing from our minds"
And it was. These kids took
their love very seriously. Which
isn't bad idea. Sometimes.

about honor and lofty ideals.
She Just said no. Like that.
Well, you can mo" a man
like Woody for only so long,
and then something happens.
In this case, something did.
Something terrible. He fell
madly in love with Adele.
He didn't think of Margot.
He~ didn't think Of his mar
riage. He didn't think of di-
vorce. In fact, he was think
ing Of nothing. Which is prob
ably why he fell in love.
So, unknown to the lovely
Adele, he leased a nice duplex
apartment on Park Avenue not
far from his own home. And
after he had outfitted the place
with costly furniture and
drapeS, he presented the key
to his love.
Baby" he said. "This key
is yours. It entities you to
live in a beautiful apartment
on Park Avenue. The place is
furnished, and YOU can move
in on a moments notice. All
I ask in return is that you
smile at me once in awhile.
Isn't that fair?"
No License, No Key
"No," she said quietly. "It
isn't. wouldn't care If you
gave me the keys to the city.
I'm not the type Of person
you think am. Get a. wedding
license first. Then come to me
with the key"
Arguments did no good.
Pleading did less. Adele made
it plain that it was either we'd
ding bells or curtains. Woody
made it plain that he was
rapidly going cuckoo.
He was drunk for almost a
week before he summoned suf-
ficient courage to talk to his
wife about the situation. The
thought of what she might do
frightened him a great deal.
But when he finally found him
self talking about it, he was
cool and collected.
"Margot," he said simply, II

excited. It's best to be calm in
a situation such as this. Hyster.

such as this, I would never think
Of suing you. Accordingly, it
would be better all around if
you would sue me as quickly as
possible. If you'll agree to that,
you'll make me very happy"
The wife cried softly. She
said she had done her best to
make him happy. She had been
a good wife. Everyone knew
that. She had fulfilled her du-
ties to the best of her ability.
There must be some reason
for this sudden request" she
cried. What is it? Is there
another woman? There must be
something"
Her husbands reply was most
concise.
