Women in war! THE Mad
Parade" is reminiscent of other
pictures in which the most potent
factor has been the part women
have played in all wars, but this
independent production released
under Paramount's banner has
the distinction of having an all
feminine cast which includes
the names of some of the best
troupers in the film directory.
Nine Women In War
Little thought has been given
by the layman to those coura-
geous women who took charge Of
the canteenS, whose very presence
gave tired army of men incen-
tive to go back and stay until
the fight was over.
In this canteen were nine
women, different in character, in
makeup, in background; to some
the horrors they witnessed were
part of the job they had under
taken, to others game in which
they all played to lose.
There is bitterness, hatred. envy
among some and an all-abiding
confidence and good-comradeShip
among others. Monica Dale as
played by Evelyn Brent is hard
talking, do or die young woman
who snatches at life as it comes
along and wastes no tears over
heart-aches. Hers is the domi-
nent role and fitted to the harsh
voiced Evelyn like the proVerbial
glove. The tension is relieved by
the wise-cracking Lilyan TaShman,
whose constant companion is a
hot-water bottle filled with cognac.
Good Subsidiaries
There is a well-rounded hour of
interesting and diverting enter
tainment in this perturbation of
women in war and if there is a
tendency to exaggerate some of
the scenes remember this play
may have been written by woman
who saw the world war from just
back of the front lines.
Short subjects include the
Paramount newSreel. a smart lit
tie dance comedy featuring Hal
Leroy, now being glorified CD by
Mr.. Ziegfeld, and another anus
ing short in which we recognize
the once famous Skinner" Bry-
ant WaShburn. K. Y.

Chester Morris, it now de-
velops, will play opposite Carole
Lombard in The Beach Com

free to resume his interrupted
vacation.
Several days ago, Phil was
hastily summoned from New
York. They were in such hurry
he had to fly to make an added
scene for the Lubitsch picture,
The Man l Killed" When he
got out here, it turned out to
be a single closeup, ironically
enough, a smile.
Then, when they announced
him for The Beach Comber." :"
his dreams of further loafing
faded away completely.
But on second thought, the
studio decided Chester Morris fits
better into the Mildred Cram
story, SO everybody is happy.
Chester has a good role and Phil
can devote himself to leisure.

lucrative bootlegging. he got
tired of dishing out splits to
the syndicate to which he was
paying tribute. He found it
far cheaper to employ Sam and
Joe. two little protectors who
compensated for their lack of
size by the weight of the artil-
lery they carried. and by the
deadly accuracy with which
they could shoot.
"A few months after the hir-

Smallness of the pittance they

In fact, we're telling you so
right now. From now on, our
salary is 5000 each. You'll
agree to that-or else
Mike nodded.
Done he agreed. And
done were Sam and Joe. They
were discovered two days later,

What a HoId-Up

"Well, Mark, the years drifted
on. Mike arose one morning
from a deep dream of disquiet,
and came to the conclusion that
he would like to step out of
the racket. He called Steve.
Bill and Jim-and announced
his retirement. Steve. who had
always been the guiding spirit
Of the three protectors, dealt
Mike a nasty smile.
oh, no you don't he as
serted, Jobs is mighty scarce
these days. and you amt gonna
ditch us so fast. Five grand
each-and it'll be okay. Less
than that and-well, you'll be
sorry
Mike was frantic. Five
grand for each protector meant
$4,000. That was quite a
chunk and he decided to risk
not paying it. He disappeared
completely from his accus-
toned haunts, and settled in a
city that is not too far from
New York. There he basked in
the sunlight of retirement.
Promises to Pay
'But it was not to be. He
opened his door one morning to
find Marty standing there.
You'll fork over that dough-
Mike was informed. or you'll
be the sorriest guy that ever
lived Mike stammered and
suffered, and finally assured
his ex-protector that the dough
would be forthcoming the next
day. Marty growled threat,
and left.
"The following morning.
Marty was exactly on time. He
walked into Mixes living room
and heard Mike on the phone.
Listen Mike was saying,
L think I'm going to be taken
for a ride. If anything does
happen to me, have the police
Immediately arrest man
named Marty F.
Marty backed out of the
room and went back to his
hotel to think things over.
Meanwhile, Mike was still on
the job. He was phoning to
one Of the big police officials
of the town-an old friend
of his. And he was telling
him the entire story. So, an
hour later, the official walked
into Marty'S hotel room.
Then the Pay-Off
What that police bird did to
Marty was little short of a
crime. Before he was through,
Marty was only too happy to
be helped into the first train
to New York. He swore- and
he meant it-that he would
never bother Mike again as
long as he lived.
when Mike heard the good
news, he was overjoyed. He
threw out his chest and he
Strutted around. He called an
old pal of his in New York
and boasted plenty about the
situation.
That's the way to handle
those buns he chirped de-
lightedly. Have a few friends

okay.'

Walter Connolly to Come
 on Air as Charlie Chan

Walter Connolly, well-known Broadway actor now appearing in "The Late Christopher Bean," will come to radio to portray Char lie Chan, famous Chinese detective of fiction, whose exploits will be unfolded over an NBC-WJZ net work, beginning tonight, at 7:30 p. m., D. s. T.
 The Charlie Chan mysteries, to be held each Friday night, will form part of the Five Star The ater series. recently inaugurated over an NEG network, and Earl Derr Biggers, creator and author of half a dozen books about Chan, will introduce the Oriental sleuth to the radio audience in special message to be read at the opening broadcast.
 Connolly, who has been a Charlie Chan fan since Biggers first put the Chinese detective into print. long has sought an opportunity to play the role.

Last season he supported Helen Hayes in The Good Fairy" and previ- ously he had been seen in "The Happy Husband" and revival of "Anatol.' Recently he went to Hollywood where he played in Washington Merry -Go-Round." <.
