From the Front Row
Reviews and News Of Washington Theaters

casting the stage version Of Bird of
Paradise" to the winds and by di-
recting the story and its background
according to his own ideas, has con-
tributed something which Is out
standing. No gentleman Of home
spun disposition and sultry ways
and means could possibly have con-
trived such pleasantly romantic
and neo-poetic entertainment. In
stead Of cooking up a fiery volcano
in Hollywood's tnnards, and planting
Miss Del Rio in Malibu Beach
canoe, he had the foresight to place
his characters in native settings, and
see that the tortoise and the pig
and the cocoanut had as much of an
airing as does Miss Del Rios grassy
SKIRT.
Leslie Howard was unQuestionably
right when he told us last Winter
that "the director Is more important
than the actor in pictures" (He
wants to be q directory. And now
1t seems, too, that the director is
more important than the story (but
then. Of course, SO are the Marx
Brothers., since such stories as
Love Me Tonight" and Bird Of
rarsdise" have been made into top
notch material.
Then again, take q look at Tai
lulah Bankhead's Devil and the
Deep" and the way that submarine
Is pictured In its various mechan-
ical intricacies. Although the di-
rector was not able to make Miss
Bankhead smile, he has at least done
much toward immortaliZing the sub
marine, since that submarine car
ried to salty death the most un-
pleasant villain (Charles Laughton)
since Frankenstein began battling
around the boards.

MAN FOUND SHOT
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Police Hunt Suspect Named
by Murder Victim Before
He SuccumbS.

Henry Epstein. 80, Of Baltimore, was
being sought by Washington and Balti-
more police today in the Staying of
James Wilson, also 80, who died in
Casualty Hospital early today, after
being founo unconscious at Massachu-
sets avenue and D streets northeast,
with bullet wound in his abdomen,
last midnight.
Epstein, whose description was broad
cast to all precincts, as we'll as to police
in Baltimore and other parts of Mary
land, was named by Wilson before he
died. Wilson was discovered in the
middle of the street by John Rabbit
of Bethesda, who took him to the hos
pital and then called police.
Questioned by Detective Sergt. Tom
Nally, while surgeons worked to save
his life, Wilson declared Epstein had
shot him while the two were quarrel
ing in an apartment in the 200 block of
Massachusetts avenue northeast. The
shooting, Wilson said, followed Epstein S
accusation that he had hi-jacked him.
After interviewing Wilson, Nally and
other detectives went to the Massachu-
sets avenue apartment house in which
he said he had been shot, but occupants
of the building denied having any
knowledge of the shooting They all
insisted they had not even heard the
shot
Requestioning Wilson, the detectives
were told he had been shot in an apart
ment. They forced the door of the
apartment and found it in wild disor-
der with playing cards and liquor bot
ties scattered about A rear window
had been broken open, they found, the
screen had been removed and on the
ground below were marks indicating
some one had leaped out.
Residents of the neighhorhood denied
having heard the report OF gun, but
one man, the manager OF fllllng sta
ton across the street from the apart
ment house, said a partly dressed man
ran through his establishment short
time after the shooting.
Occupants of the apartment house
including the janitress, declared they
did not know who lived in the apart
ment in which the shooting occurred
The janitress said all she knew about
the matter was that the suite had been
rented by two young men. She could
not describe them, however.
During the course of the argument
over the hi-jacking accusation, Wilson
told detectives, Epstein suddenly drew
a revolver and fired at him. With
blood flowing from the wound in his
abdomen, Wilson ran from the apart
ment house and collapsed in the street,
while Epstein fed.
Wilson, a former taxicab driver, lived
in the 1400 block of Twelfth street. He
formerly made his home with an aunt,
Miss Kate Tarney. who is now employed
as a housekeeper in the home of Col
Morris E. Locke, 1871 r street. He also
is survived by his mother and a brother

Experts Study LongWorth-

From Marines Typewriter.

The investigation into attempts to

ness Battle in Massachu-
setts Avenue.

Police clubs and blackjacks were
used freely in checking a Communist
demonstration before the new japanese
embassy on Massachusetts avenue early
this afternoon. About 20 were arrested
and several injured.
AS the 200 or so demonstrators, sing
ing the "Internationale, filed past the
building, they we're checked by a strong
force of police, and a lively fight broke
out Placards and banners were torn
down and policemen in pairs led the
radicals away toward police patrols.
AS the fighting continued, sirens began
to scream and fresh reserves of police
were rushed to the scene.
Several radicals we're treated so
roughly that, instead of needing weapons
to restrain them, they required support
to hold them up as they were led to the
patrol wagons.
Gen. Glassford Present
The first assault by police occurred
Immediately after the demonstrators

squad of Is police, commanded by
Inspector Bean and Capt. Kelly, with
Police Chief Glassford looking on,
ordered the paraders to halt When
they refused. the police began to fight.
One of the first to fall with blood
gushing from a wound in her forehead
was a woman. The police made an
effort to tear down the placards car
ried by front rankers and were met by
fists of paraders. This brought on a
second assault and at one time there
were about 25 paraders on the ground,
several unconscious.
Ambulances Called.
A hurry call was sent in for ambu-
lances.
The object of the demonstration was
to protest against the Japanese armed
forces in Manchuria The comrades"
are also seeking the withdrawal of jap

China. The immediate withdrawal of
this country's armed forces from the
Far East and the expulsion Of the JAP
anese Ambassador from the United
States were among the demands
The plan for the demonstration was
formulated at meeting last night. A
request for permission to parade was
refused by police on the ground the
