Pathos and humor-eye-damp ening and rib-tickling mark "Bird of Paradise, coming to the Lyric theater Sunday and Monday.
 The RKO-Radio talking picture of the famous stage drama, is re- puted to have more laughs than many so-called comedy of feature proportions. At the same time, the tense dramatic situations encoun- tered Infringing the unfoldment of Richard Walton Tully's play are said to grip audiences equally with the most thrilling murder mystery.
 Under the superb direction of King Vidor, full advantage Is taken of the comedy situations. Even dur Ing the hazardous water scenes in which some 300 native Hawaiians participate, Vidor found opportun- ity for some of the most laugh provoking episides seen in any re- cent film.
 Wells Root, adopted the stage play for the screen. The treatment given the well known famous foot light vehicle, is being lavishly praised.
 Companion Feature
 Some idea of the magnitude of Big City Blues''. starring Joan Blondell, may be gained from the fact that its cast list includes no less than seven of the studios feat ured contract players. and seven more headliners borrowed from other studios.
 Joan Blondell heads the cast, while Evalyn Knapp also has an important role. Three new actresses recently taken to Hollywood from New York successes, make their first screen appearance at this time, although they are also work ing separately in other productions. They are Gloria Shea, Betty Gil- lette. and Shela Terry--names to bear in mind. They may be among the stars of the future. Guy Kibbee and Lyle Talbot complete the list of contract artists.

Palace Presents Noted Star With Frederic
 March as CO.Lead

Norma Shearer returns to TO- nance in "Smilin' Through" which opens at the Poli Palace theater tomorrow. in this Metro Goldwyn- Mayer production she proves again that she is one of the screens best dramatic artists.
 It is a dazzling film, both as to beauty of production, and acting. It could be called the finest acted picture of the year and many who
 see 1t will support the claim. Flo while Grand Hotel" had a bigger array of stars in point of number, "Smilin' Through" does not suffer by comparison in respect to talent.
 Besides Norma Shearer there are Fredric March, borrowed from Paramount to play opposite the star, Leslie Howard, than whom there is no more charming and sensitive character delineator, o. P. Heggic. Ralph Forbes, Beryl Mercer, David Terrence, Margaret Seddon and Forester Harvey.
 Miss Shearer and March have dual roles in this haunting and unusual story, which is fraught with moments of poignant drama. Audiences wept and smiled alter nately when Jane Cowl first pre- sented "Smilln' Through" as a stage play in New York and 1t Is

 Sidney Franklin,s direction is excellent and the photography by Lee Garmes is up to the high standard of this master of light and shadow. The settings of the production, too, are of unusual beauty and match the charm of the drama itself.

Then she could settle down and really

She hadn't been able to do that last
night. The thought Of the bunch get

Of life that had been hers going on

unbearably. The thing for her to do
was to make up her own mind while
solitude still gave her the chance.
Already it was half made up. She
knew what she wasn't going to DO.
She wasn't going to high school. They
couldn't make her.
She noted with reluctant ,satisfac-

set the dining room table for her soli-

She went into the kitchen and lighted
the flame under the coffee pot; then
came back and started the toast.

turned on the current in the toaster.

when she opened the door the glare

OUTSIDERS GET
MORE D. {. JOBS

District contracts let to out-of-
town contractors have increased
largely during the past four years,
according to Investigations made
on behalf of the Buy-in-Washing-
ton Council, which today opened
its fall campaign with joint
luncheon with the Soroptimists
Club at the Hotel Lafayette.
In 1928, District contracts
awarded locally amounted to $4,-
389,502, while those awarded out
side aggregated only $12,3O6.
There has been a marked change
in the last three years, however,
due, the council discovers, to the
fact that contractors from all
over the country, unable to find
jobs at home, are scrambling for
work here.
For 1881, the total of contracts
awarded locally was $1,333,878,
whereas those given outside con-
tractors amounted to S97O,852,
more than twothirds as much.
The District Commissioners are
in hearty sympathy with the Buy
in Washington movement, but
have no option under the law
than to award contracts to the
lowest bidders.
The Buy-in-WaShington Council
urges patronage of District enter
prises locally wherever possible.

NEW YORK. Oct. THE
young men and women of
America should take political
affairs out of the hands, of the
older statesmen, Gene Tunney
advises in his article. Political
GraybeardS and Youth" in the
November Cosmopolitan. He says:
"The pOlitical-minded young
man has far more energy,
spirit, courage, vision, idealism.
and honesty than the usual
run of graybeard politicians. 1t
is claimed that youth is un-
reliable, Is not in the habit of
thinking through, is impulsive
and dangerous when in high
places. Yet, when compliment
ing the reputedly great secre-
tarieS of the Treasury, the flat
terers invariably say: The
greatest Secretary of the
Treasury since Alexander
Hamilton Hamilton happened
to have been at the ripe age Of
81 when he established the
system of government financing
that has hardly been changed
to this day."
Tunney names as examples of
youthful leadership, David ingalls,
of Cleveland, Trubee Dawson. of
New York, James A. Douglas, of
Chicago, and Cornelius Vanderbilt
Whitney, of Long Island.
He points out that in the
history of our revolution and the
struggle for national existence
and constitutional government,
we find the names of such men
as Alexander Hamilton, Patrick
Henry, the youthful and fiery
Virginian, in his twenties eXclaim-
ing, Caesar had his Brutus";; !;
Charles Pinckney, leader at the
Constitutional Convention in his
twenties, and governor of his
state at 80.
