Strange Romance
Stars Lee Tracy,
Ann Dvorak

Ann Dvorak starts out as a
brunette in The Strange Love OF
Molly Louvain" at the Earle this
week but along about the middle
of the picture pours bottle of
peroxide over her raven tresses
and emerges as "ravishing'
blonde.
Along with Molly's change in
appearance, made necessary by
the pursuit of the police, the
picture changes also from a
mildly interesting story of a
small town girl to rather
unusual, exciting narrative.
Lee Tracy Stars
The chief reason for the films S
sudden emergence from a state
of coma was not that Molly dyed
her hair but the appearance on
the scene of Lee Tracy, as Scotty,
the hard-boiled ace reporter OF
the Daily Blah, who knows
everything about women"
Immediately Molly sees Scotty
she falls hard for him. She
forgets the society boy who be-
trayed her, the travelling sales,
man she ran away with. She
forgets the honorable man who
wants to marry her and she
almost forgets her little girl,
whom she prizes above all else
That's the kind of a girl Molly
is. Her own mother, whose
memory she hated, had run away
from her when she was a baby
and now she discovers that she is
just like her mother.
Scotty is "The Front Page
type of reporter and Lee Tracy
is perfect in the part. He really
steals the picture, though Miss
DVorak gives a generally salts
factory account of herself. The
rest of the cast is fair-to-mid
dim.
Heidt'S Band
Horace Heidt's Californians
headline the stage bill and put
on peppy program of good
music intermixed with comedy
acts and burlesque stunts. They
are best in their novelty numbers
Heidi. himself. is a good show
man and versatile musician.

Buddies," sings the blues away
and Archie and Gertie Falls offer

Weekend Brings
Many to Seaside

If a census were taken OF

ton of the Capital would have
been revealed as somewhat less

The answer is that a goodly
number of citizens were SojouEn-

Beach, enjoying the bathing and
other amusements at Seaside

The boardwalk pavilion at the
park enjoyed the largest turnout

Outdoor Performance Of Aida ="
Is Planned FOR Sunday

The outdoor operatic spectacle,
Aida" will be presented Sun
day evening at Griffith Stadium
at $50 o'clock by Alfredo Sal
maggi. AS the first open-air
grand opera performance of the
Capital, it will be a landmark
in Capital history. A thousand
people will participate in the
performance, all of whom-ex-
cept supers selected from Wash
ington's unemployed-will- be
brought by special train from
New York. Leading roles will
be sung by some of the Metro
politan Operas most brilliant
stars. The huge orchestra of
the Metropolitan Opera, the en-
tire chorus and ballet of the
same organization and a band of
so make up the greater part
of the large cast. The elephants
and camels will also be brought
from New York by special train.
Aida" has an interesting his
tory. 1t was written at the re-
quest of Ismall Pasha, Khedive
of Egypt, for the dedication of
the new Cairo Theater Italien
and the opening of the Suez
Canal. The Khedive requested
Verdi to compose a sort of ma
tional opera. dealing with the
past grandeurs of Egypt. Verdi,
with his flair for the spectacular
and grarldiose. as we'll as his
genius for matchmaking, was
eminently fitted for the task. He
had also strong national sense
which was reflected in his music.
He was elected to Parliament in
1860, and became a senator in
1875. Francis Toye, who wrote

Gladys Clark Is
Gayety Hit
This Week

A slightly better than average
burlesque production enhanced by
the presence of Gladys Clark and
the Reed Sisters, and comedy from
a gifted quartet, Is the menu for
the Gayety Theater this week.
Hinda Wausau is the nominal
star, but that is about as far as
she gets. She could just have
easily been left out and the show
would not have suffered. Although
conspicuous by her lack of a voice,
she insists upon singing" twice
and is finished with her bit De-
fore you realize she's on. She's
a far cry from the Kinda Wausau
that rose to the heights in bur-
lesque.
Gladys Clark, the most accom-
pliShed star on the circuit, drops
her clarinet which she featured
last week and replaces it with an
accordian. Chuck full of per-
sonality she gives an insight into
why she broke a house record in
Chicago.
The Reed Sisters, Gertie and
Rae. repeat their past dancing
triumphs. Since they came here
they have never disappointed their
friends. Jeanette Alabassi is an
other consistent performer.
Ray Parsons has brought his
rich voice to the Gayety and
scores particularly with his rendi-
tion OF Chloe" Coupled with
Lew Denny, he gives the comedians
able foils for their humor. Billy
Fields and Jimmy Dugan garner
the lions share of the fun this
week.

Digs Up $1,000

The following day, his
mother received $4,000 from
her boy. With the money was
a short note that told her he
was only too happy to do it
for her. More than happy, he
was proud.
Some two months later, the
mother received one of those
welcome wires from her Won
derful son. He would be
passing through on the 1886.
Would she please be down at
the station in the regular spot
so that he could wave to her
as usual?
Would she? Say, she was
there before II just to make
certain she wouldn't be late.
Exactly on schedule, the train
roared through. There was her
boy! A hurried shout that
couldn't be heard. The excited
waving. A flash. He was gone.
And the mother walked slowly
homeward, a smile upon her
face.
Back in the train, the boy
spoke to the man beside him.
1T was good of you to let me
sit by the window" he said.
Il just had to see that woman.
Thanks"
"Okay, boy" replied the other
man. You know, you amt a
bad kid. What made you pull
such a foolish job on a cash
drawer? You knew you'd get
caught on the count-up."
The boy smiled.
Maybe" he murmured, "I
just felt like passing through"
The other man drew the boys
handcuffed arm just a little
closer.
Good Gawd." he sighed.

He Finds a Job

Ter than her sons.
Eyes, son." she replied. 'I
understand. And may God
bless you and keep you we'll"
John found a job in New
York city. I hasten to tell
you that that was several years
ago, so that you may believe
me when I state that somebody
found a job in New York. His
position was with the city Of
flee of a large dairy farm up
State, and his salary was $25
a week. The first letter he
wrote his mother contained
the glowing news that he was
earning $50. with fine pros
poets of a raise in the imme-
diate future.
There was a reason for the
lie. He knew his mother
would show that letter to all
the neighbors, and he felt it
would make her very proud to
tell the town how we'll her
boy was doing. More, it
would unquestionably burn his
Stepfather to learn that the
boy he hated was advancing
so rapidly. All in all, then,
it was a lie that could ac-
complish nothing but good.
AS time rolled by, there
were periods that were pretty
tough for the boy. But mis-
mother never knew about
them. His letters told her
that he had been raised to
500 a week and that the firm
Ho3 considered him one of it's
most valuable employees. True,
he had been raised. But only
as far as $50 a week.
At Christmas, and on her
birthday. there were always
rather costly little gifts. too.
Having begun this bluff to
make his mother happy, it was
up to him to follow through.
And that's exactly what he
did, even though he had to
pay $6 a week to that loan
society right through the year.
Brags a Little
Twice, on tours of inspection
to the dairy farm, John had
the thrill of seeing his mother.
To reach the farm from the
city it was necessary to pass
through Johns home town. He
wired his mother on each occa-
sion, and there she was at the
station as the train raced past.
Just a hurried waving and a

blown kiss. That was all. But it
was, at least, something. And
John had kept his oath that he
would never again set foot in
his home town while the other
man was alive. Silly, of course.
But that's the way the boy felt.
And who are we to tell him
no?"
A letter came to John one
morning. It was from his moth
er, and a small portion is all
I will have to quote:
And so, dear son, = am ter
ribly worried. Your stepfather
is ill and, if I cannot get the
$4,000 before the first of next
month, we stand in danger of
losing our home. am not grow
ing any young~r. And the
thought of such a calamity
frightens me very much.
Perhaps, dear boy, vi can
lend us the money. It's only
$4,000, and l know that, since
YOU have done so well, it will
not mean very much to you. I
feel ashamed that I should
have to ask you. tIt it's so
very important that I must
swallow my pride. Let me know,
John dear, as soon as you pos
sibly can"
Two thousand dollars. AS
far as John was concerned, his
mother might just as well have
asked for two million. Still,
how could he tell her that?
Let her know that he was
phoney and that he lied to
her all the time? No, that
he couldn't do.
He closed his eyes and
leaned back. There was but
one place in which he could
lay his hands on that much
money, and that method would
be little short of suicide. He
thought and he thought. And
when he opened his eyes, his
mind was made up.

Quits Old Home

Quits Old Home
The boy hesitated for a mo-
ment. Then he drew his
mother close to him and spoke
more rapidly.
Il love you more than any
thing in the entire world, nom.
But, as much as I love you,
just that much do I hate the
man you married after pop
died. Oh, I know why you did
1t originally. You did it to
help raise me and give me
decent education. I know full
well that you did it far more
for security than you did for
love. /"
You shouldn't speak that
way, John" interrupted his
mother. Your stepfather has
been wonderful to me. I know
he loves me. and you don't
know how it hurt when I
learned that you two were
never going to be able to get
along. Won't you make just
one more try, John?"
Her son shook his head deter
minedly.
mo, NON, it's no use. The
more I try, the worse the situa-
ton becomes. Sometimes I
really grow afraid of myself. I
look at him and I find my fists
clenching in an instructive ges-
ture. I know that some day,
If I remained, I would kill him.
He held her tightly. His voice
broke slightly.
Il love you, mom," he said.
"You-you understand, don't
you?"
