Dancers in the Dark" is COM
bination dance hall, night club,
jazz band, underworld story, the
best of it's kind released in many,
many months. It has a fine love
theme, excitement, suspense and
music, with Jack Oakie's comedy
giving it just the right pinch of
seasoning. The glib Mr.. Oakie is
growing too fat to play juveniles
any more, but he fits this role to

Hell ped by Friends

You know who came to his
rescue, don't you? Right you
are. His fathers old pal, the
affable Mr.. ESposito, called him
in one day and offered him the
job Of building a house in the
country. He told Vincent that
ne would pay him a lump sum
when the job was finished and
that he would leave everything
in the young mans hands.
Vincent leaped at the oppor-
tunity. He Saw a splendid op-
portunity a. make plenty of
money out of his fathers old
friend. The thought that he
would be doing a rotten thing
by double-croSsing a man who
was obviously trying to help
him never entered his mind.
He wasn't built that way.
So the young man went to
work. And what a job he did!
Instead of mixing tw, bags of
cement with three bags Of sand,
he'd use but one bag of cement.
In other words, if 200 bags of
cement were ordered, there
would be 400 on the bill. Just
a nice, sweet boy to trust with
anything c. Importance.
Gets = Present
What difference, was the way
Vincent figured it out, if the
house was weakly constructed?
Some poor dope would come
along and buy it. It wouldn't
bring much money, but was
that his worry? Meanwhile, he
would be collecting from two
ends. He was making plenty
on the billS-and he knew that
his fee would be a generous
one.
In due time, the house-such
as it waS-waS completed. The
young man marched into Mr..
ESposito's office and informed
the latter gentleman of that
very important fact. He was
waiting for the other man to
produce his check book when
Mr.. Esposito suddenly leaned
forward.
Vincent" he said sincerely,
you know I have always loved
you. In respect to your fathers
memory, I planned this little
surprise for you a long time
ago.
II am not giving y any fee.
No, sir. Instead, / make you
a present of the house you
buiIt!",

question as to who knew the

This, they say, was no acting
1t was the real thing.
When the picture was finished
and Ina Claire had a chance to
see what an 18-karat gold digger
she turned out to be on the
screen, all her persuasive powers
were used on United Artists to
have the feature shelved or at
least revised to give her a better
break. To no avail. Her only
consolation is that she does the
best acting in the picure, wears
some gorgeous clothes, dominates
the scene every time against the
less experienced Joan Blondell and

diggers who outshine her a bit
for looks. At the Columbia, be-

White scandals
Finds Prosperity

The heavy advance sale for
George Whites Scandals" made
it expedient yesterday to open an
extra box office window at the
Washington Auditorium, where
this big star-laden revue will open

of Whites New York staff, the
two advance windows will be in
use for IL hours a day.

been no surprise to George White,
who knew what he was doing in
launching a wildfire campaign Of
"easy prices" for the present road
tour. Last week in Boston, at So
top, George Whites Scandals"
taxed the immense capacity Of
the Boston Opera House, and
this week in Philadelphia, with
Rudy Vallee and all intact, the
revue is filling 4,300 seats a per-
formance at the Metropolitan
Opera House.

A Royal Discovery

Vice president John Royal, of
NB.C., writes me that if Sisters OF
the Skillet doesn't make the hit of
the week at the Fox Theater,
beginning Friday. he will be dis
appointed. Since he was the Co.
lumbus who rescued this act from
obscurity and transformed it into
a radio headliner the royal en-.
thusiasm is not hard to explain.
There is the added recommends
ton that of all the gilt-edged en-
tertainerS who frolicked at the
White House correspondents an
nual dinner, Sisters of the Skillet
emerged as the hit Of the night.

able authority that the lads made

Domestic Hard Luck
His pal, the genial Mr.. Epo-
Sito, remained single. At all
times he and Lombardi were
devoted friends. And when,
four years after the baby had
been born, Mrs. Lombardi
e1oped with an Englishman
who had nothing in this world
except a waxed muStache and
q taste for good brandy, 1t
was Espositto who handed out
to his friend the old, familiar
words of cheer and comfort.

"thingS are never as bad as
they look at the moment. You

know that. But if she could do
what she has done, aren't you
far better off in the long
run?
"And another thing. You
have your son. He's q grand
boy, and he is now yours alone.
Surely it will be a comfort to
YOU to watch him grow and de-
velop; to see him move ahead
in life. Think of what that
will mean and how proud you
will be Of him. Doesn't that
thought make you happy?"
Lombardi's eyes began to spar
kle. He gripped Eposito'S arm.
"Joe," he cried, "you're right.
I must forget about that
woman in order to care for my
son. He is a wonderful child,
and he has a keen brain for
one so young. It is easy to see
that he takes after his father.
Boy Grows Older
''But he must take after his
father in more ways than one.
Do you know what I am going
to do with him, Joe? I am
going to make him one of the
greatest architects in the world.
That's what I will work on
from now on. He is only four
years old now, but the time
flies very rapidly. Almost as
rapidly as my wife did with
that waxed .muStacIe.
That's what well'll do from
now on, Joe. You're absolutely
right. The three of us will be

That's all ! will think about.

And much as it pains me to
report it, he didn't turn out as
his father expected at all. If
the truth must be told and told
very bluntly, he developed very
rapidly into a first class bum.
Frivolous Youth
He was one of those kids
that annoy you terribly; one of
those boys, you know, whom
you long to poke directly in
the nose the moment you meet
him. Even his father must
have recognized it because he
generally spoke rather apollo
getically to his friends.

Brief Assyrian Greatness

The Assyrians were warlike, ruth
less and cruel, and although great
organizers, gave little time or
thought to interior decoration that
did not emphasize the greatness Of
their kings. Assyrian furniture was
heavy and dull. Its decorations con-
sisted largely Of scenes which pic
tured the vengeance inflicted upon
the enemies of their kings. A table
supported upon the backs Of slaves
or vanquished foes was the Assy-
rian's idea of beauty. Scenes de-
picting frightful punishments and
sufferings were not uncommon on
articles of household, palace or tenn
pie use. But it was shOrt-lived
period and gave nothing to the fur
niture arts, not even to the Greeks,
whose glory heightened over the dy-
ing shadows of Assyrian greatness.

When Bread Is "Stale"

Definition and explanation of stall
ing: 1T is rather difficult to define
statement fully in few words.
From the standpoint of the consum-
er, bread is considered stale when,
measured by the sense of feeling
and taste by contact with the skin
and palate, it appears dry and
harsh, and not acceptable as fresh.
There are, of course, various de-
grees of staIeness. and there exists
no absolutely definite dividing line
between the so-called freshness and
staleness of the loaf. In general,
however, bread which is termed
fresh possesses a crumb which is
somewhat translucent, elastic and
springy, while the crumb of stale
bread is more Opaque and at first
tough, then later crumbly or hard,
with a noticeable lack of flavor"
