Catch Question
AS we warned you, No. 16 was
the "catch question" To make
the contest more difficult and
interesting it was included but
it was, as many of you pointed
out, not an authorized insignia
of the United States Army. It
is the insignia worn by Tom
Brown of Culver" in the film
at Keith's Theater this week.
OF course none Of you guessed
what it was, but many of you
were very sure (and you were
right) that it was NOT a regu-
lar army insignia.
1t is the insignia for a cadet
sergeant.
We thought when we saw that
it was included that NONE
Of you would realize it was a
catch" but apparently the Ad-
venture Club members are
smarter than we realized and
saw it at once.
So many of the entries
showed such unusual care In
preparation that we are sorry
we couldn't give about 200
more prizes. In fact, we are
determined to dig those other
boys and girls up SOME kind
of prize this week to award
their industry.
We don't know as yet what
it is going to be but it is going
to be good, gang, you may trust
us for that. We can't let all
your work go entirely unre-
Warded and many of you slip
ped up on just that one in
sigma.
Answers Heavy
The contest was the most
popular yet staged by the Ad-
venture Club. There were mail
bags just simply full of an
sWers and it took us hours and
hours to look 'em over. And
when we say hours we mean
hours. 1t was the hardest loo
we have yet encountered as
editor of this column.
We worked so hard on judg-
ing the answers that we simply
did not have time to get pic.
lures Of the winners until all
the letters, etc, were examined.
But We are going to publish
the pictures some time, as we
know all of you will be inter
ested in seeing them.
Here's to our next contest.
May it be as popular as the
famous Tom Brown of Culver"
Insignia Contest even if we do
have to work overtir1e on it.

'land, not having much Of way
with the ladies; fate, however,
gives him a wife whose heart is
filled with gratitude instead Of
love, and when the younger, hand
somer Pipes steps into the pic
ture its practically over except
for the vengeance of the sea.
Eddie, in a rage, tosses Pipes into

It's a great show for action,
with humor and tenderness, trag-

good measure. Eddie Robinson,
Dick Arlen, and the Cornell-like
zita Johann, have the principal
roles, but credit must be marked
up for Vince Barnett remember

The short features include a
fairy tale with the agreeable

Duke Ellington S
Band PIeases
at Fox

Duke Ellington and his famous
band headline the stage show
which opened yesterday at the
Fox, and Tallulah Bankhead and
Robert Montgomery are the film
luninaries in "Faithless," a yarn
of the depression which, while not
uniformly top-grade, has it's mo-
mentS.
Miss Bankhead has the role Of
Carol Morgan, who has so much
money that she thinks girls who
go wrong for lack of any haven't
any character. Montgomery por-
trays Bill Wade, struggling
young advertising man who strug-
giles along on $4,000 a year-a
figure much too small for Carol
Morgan to consider as an income
at all, though they are much in
love.
The deadlock over the question
whether they shall live on his sal
ary or her vast wealth is
promptly settled by the depreS-
sion, which wipes her wealth
away and takes his job as we'll.
Thereafter things go from bad to
worse, as they have a way. OF
doing, and breadlines, furnished
apartments, and all the impedi-
menta of hard luck figure in the
story until at last, both stony
broke, pool their few pennies for
a marriage license. And ultimate
ly things work out.
The Duke puts on a better show
than on his last prior appearance
here, when he went in so effec-
lively for effects that it wasn't
possible to follow either rhythm
or music. His Mood Indigo" as
usual is particularly pleasing,
with "Limehouse Blues" Scat
Song" and 1.-The Moose" rising
high in favor.
The rest of the stage bill is
not extraordinary. Van Cello and
Mary demonstrate some foot
feats, Carl Shaw dances inSanely
to considerable applause, May
Joyce sings a few dittieS and Hill
ton and Garon go in for conyer-
Sation in a big way.
The news reel shows both Hoo
yer and Roosevelt belaboring the
opposition, and it is fine chance
to check up on partisan feeling
if you listen to the applause.

Native Romance
Of South Seas

Virgins of Bali" at the Co
lumbia, is another picture por-
traying life on that isle, into
which a slight story has been in
jected. Though at times this
serves a good purpose, it some
times mars the effectiveness of
the photography.
We see, as the film goes along,
market life, a wedding ceremony.
a funeral and recital by some
highly decorated and very elo-
quent dancers, to say nothing of
numerous scenes in the homes of
the Balinese, all of which proved
to be highly entertaining.
Only incidental music and a
running lecture accompany the
film, and the narrator is entirely
satisfactory in his talk, with only
an occasional lapse. He does,
however, extoll the beauties of
the natives to a great degree.
The natives play their roles
with great unconcern, and some
notable scenic shots enhance the
entertainment.
On the supplementary bill
there is a film of adventure in
Death Valley which We'd with
the feature film for honors. In
addition, there is a comedy, Flip

pleasantly calm through it all, is
not as good as in The Rich Are

his role.
There are seven acts on the
vaudeville program this week. The
Friday matinee audience showed
a preference for that harmonious
male quartette from radioland
known as THE Rollickers," with
Say It Isn't So" their most
applauded number.
The Rath Brothers still remain
the most finished strong man
athletes in the varieties and their
acrobatic work was given a dash
of comedy when Johnny Perkins
romped in and exercised his mus
cles.
Daphne Pollard, diminutive
stage and screen comic, strives in
old-fashioned song material, with
Wanted, A Man." a rowdy knock
about her best effort, aided by
Harry Savoy. Dennis White, with
five agile girls, has a good dane
ing act, and Vernon Rathburn
employs flock of saxophones to
open the show melodiously. Max
inc Doyle introduces these acts
in new fall wardrobe. The Uni
versal newsreel rounds out an ex-
tra-length program.

Eddie Ro 0inson Is Star Of Real
Exciting Sea Story

Movie fans who go in for ad-
venture films in a big way will
find plenty of action, plenty OF
excitement, in Eddie G. Robin

It's story of deep sea fishing
on the west coast of Mexico,

deadly with the menace of trop-

known as the man-eater, foe of

A Spine Chilling
Shocker at
RiaIto

The nerves of Washington
movie.goers face a severe test this
week at the Rialto where is being
shown the latest Universal horror
picture, The Old Dark House"
starring our playful friend Boris
Karloff, old Frankenstein himself.
This film, based on a novel by
j. B. Priestley, doesn't follow the
usual formula of the general run
of shockers and probably for this
reason is more effective. There
are no eerie shrieks and unearthly
walls Cat least not many but the
atmosphere of this terrible old
stone house in the Welsh noun
tains is simply fraught with terror.
Two auto loads Of weary trav-
ellerS are forced to stop there
during the height Of a storm.
They are greeted at the door by
a horrible face, fearful as Drac-
ula's. After a little difficulty they
manage to gain admittance. The
owner of the house, a fanatical
old harridan, her timid brother,
and the butler, are apparently the
only residents of the mansion.
Karloff, the butler, moves, an
ominous creature through the can
dle-lit living room.
The woman let's it be known
that Karloff is a bad 'un when
he gets to drinking. The butler
has cast his evil eye on one Of the
two women in the party, beauti-
full blonde (played by Gloria
Stuart, and she is beautiful.
The party of unwilling guests
becomes aware of strange pres
ence in the topmost room of the
house. This creature, they learn,
is locked securely behind heavily
bolted doors and Karloff alone
has the keys to this room.
Karloff runs amuck and looSeS

Big Broadcast" "

When "The Big Broadcast"
was telling q movie story of the
radio studios in rather a fan
tastical and semi-satirical man.
ner 1 liked it. But half way
through the current feature at
Loew'S Palace the narrative
paused to introduce a galaxy Of
high-priced radio stars in their
particular specialties. AS between
Radio VS.. Hollywood my score
card read at the finish, 100 to 0
in favor of Hollywood.
If the purpose of "The Big
Broadcast" was to crafty curl
osity to see those who have be-
come famous over the air waves
it's mission is partially successful,
for Bing Crisby, Vincent Lopez,
the Mills Brothers, the Boswell
Sisters, Burns and Allen, Kate
Smith, Arthur Tracy and Cab
Galloway are brought into the
range of the camera and. micro
phones for featured moments.
Bing Crosby o. X.
These radio interludes register
much as a series of disjointed
shorts, mechanical and routine,
and since they thrust the story
aside I must confess I found
them a trifle tedious. Kate
Smith over the air waves is a
grand voice but the generously
proportioned Kate as a movie
star is a little trying. Only
Bing Crosby of the radio entries
achieves any distinction in this
picture and he has a role Of
major Importance which he car
rieS through well.
Stuart Erwin, who looks more
and more like Will Rogers with
out the grin, and Leila Hyams
carry off the acting honors in a
thin story of a radio station
which encountered financial diff
cultieS and was restored to pros
perity by gigantic broadcast OF
ether celebrities. There is a
SIlgnC unread OF romance WIN
comedy trimmings.
Good Short Film
Director Frank Tuttle wove in
to this tale some interesting and
clever fun before the radio stars
intruded and cluttered up his
scenario. So don't miss the first
20 minutes of THE Big Broad

the most entertaining.

Tiffany Thsyer
Story on R-K-O
Screen

The personal reaction to "Thir.
teen Women" now showing at
Keith's, will be determined in
the main by ones individual sus-
ceptibility to the lure of the
goddess of fortune telling.
Though this picture deals
with a more positive phase Of
the art, astrology, it is still for
tune telling and whether you
consider it absolute hokum or
whether it leaves you a trifle
shudCery as to the supernatural
powers depends solely upon your
material makeup.
SOrcerer Victims
Twelve women, sorority sisters,
become victims of q half-caste
East Indian woman who is gifted
with the magic powers Of the
East. In an insane desire for
revenge against the white race,
her indicative rage centers on
these girls, who Stunned her in
school. AS secretary to the
famous Swami, she forges horo-
scopes to the IL, resulting in
deatt., insanity, suicide and MUIR
der. Her last attempt, against
Laura, brings about her own
death.
This picture, based upon Tif-
fany Thayer's novel Of the same
name, hits on the powerful
theme of the force of sugges-
tion in human lives. In the
instances of the murder and sui
eide it is carried to exaggerated
heights. with a consequent loss
of potency. Had the film re-
tainod the reasonableness as in
the cases of May and June, the
two ecrobats, and played little
stronger on personalities, as with
Laura and 10, the narrative
would have been more fJ"ceful.
Irene Dunno Scores
Miss 10y is physically adapted
for the role of the half-caste
and with makeup helghtening
her naturally exotic appearance
there is very little cal for an
over. display of dramatics. Irene
Dunno handles the part Of a.
strong-minded woman. forced to
take cognizance Of her predicted
misfortune by circumstances,
with sure ability. Together with
Jill Esmond she manages to hold
the picture on earth.

lnCluQlng MS lucky piece. In
the early days she prayed for
exactly that to happen. But in
vain. Jim continued to win.
The mans luck was positively
uncanny.
From one city to another jour-
neyed Mr.. and Mrs. Jim. By
the time they reached New
York, Flo was bitter and. down.
right desperate. She was sick
of hotel life. Sick of the lone
Illness. She made one last ap-
peal to her husband.
jim" she pleaded, won't
you give up this crazy life? For
me? Come on. darling, let's go
home. If you won't come-well,
I'll have to go anyway. I just
can't stand it any longer. But
it would make me very, very
happy if you would come with
me-"
Jim patted her hand. 1t was
plain to be seen that he didn't
completely believe her.
Not now, honey" he said
again. "Stick it out with me
for a while, and when I'm broke,
I'll go back with you"
He took out his gold piece
and rubbed it absent-mindedly.
Flo watched him with a helpless
expression. That night she
packed her things and left.
Jim had honestly intended to
join his wife in a few weeks.
But as long as he continued to
carry dollar in his pocket, he
couldn't keep away from the
crap games. Her letters made
him very unhappy, for it was
obvious that she wanted him
and missed him.
Desperate
IF you don't come" she
wrote at last, "'I swear that
I'll do something desperate. 1
can't go on living without you,
Jim, but I can't live your life.
I know that you'll never come
back to me while you have
money. While you have your
lucky piece. You'll never lose
that. Your luck is too strong.
So you see, don't you, that it's
all pretty hopeless? Please,
Jim, come home"
Jim was a little troubled as
he read the letter. But that
evening the dice behaved in a
most gratifying manner, and
he forgot about Flo. He
thought about her once or
twice the next day, intended
to send her flowers or brace
let, but never quite got around
to it. He wanted to prove to
her that he still loved her, but
he was just a little too busy.
For a week he gambled, and
won steadily. Then one night
he came back to his hotel at
a very late hour. AS he was
passing through the lobby,
the clerk handed him a tele-
gram. With a sinking fear,
Jim tore it open.
1t was from Flo's mother,
and read:
"Flo'S body found in creek
this morning stop left note
saying could not live without
you stop better come at once"
Mechanically, Jim stepped
into the elevator. He un-
locked the door of the room
that had been his and Flo's.
He began to pull out his bags
and pack his clothing. He
hadn't needed the telegram
to make up his mind
With a strange smile, he felt
in his vest pocket. 1t seemed
very queer to be, for the first
time in his gambling career,
without his lucky piece.
