Waterloo Bridge Tops Program that Begins
 Showing Tonight

Waterloo Bridge" - odd title for a picture. True. But moving pictures are seeking unique and unusual titles in the same way that producers are seeking unusual stories from which to make them. The reason that Robert E. Sher- wood, the author, chose this for his title, is because he knew his Lon- don.
 To the well-informed Londoner. Waterloo Bridge nine times out of ten means the resort too often of despairing young women, but to business London and the rest of the world, Waterloo Bridge means the most beautiful of all bridges that span the historic Thames River.
 Canova Raved Over It
 Canova, the Italian sculptor, raysd over it! He asserted that it was well worth travelling from Rome merely to see this magnifi- cent example of bridge architec- ture.
 Waterloo Bridge was begun in October, 1911, and was opened to traffic on June 19, 1877 It was the work of J. R. Rennie, who is re- sponsible for several of the other notable bridges crossing the i Thames.
 It cost 100000 pounds.
 Tense Dramatic Production
 The photoplay, Waterloo Bridge which will begin showing tonight at the Capitol theatre, is a tense dra- matic production It is alluring ir it's beauty and it's variety. It pos sesses strong emotional appeall It has love story between a girl who wanted desperately to love decently, when 1t was too late flor her to deserve it, and boy who knew all and still would surrender the world to his hearts cry.
 Romance And War
 These two young folks, caught in loves cross road on Waterloo Bridge in tangle of romance and war are Mae Clarke, who will be remembered in Front Page" and Kent Douglass, boyish stage juve- nile and screen actor. James Whale 1 directed.

"T'he enter- tainment will be different from anything heretofore seen or heard in this city.

About Brooke Johns

Brooke Johns. currently at the
Shoreham with his band, once did
a double act in vaudeville with
Ann Pennington, who comes to
the Fox next week. It was a
great combination, this husky
gentleman farmer from Norbeck
and the petite brunette with the
dimpled knees, great contrast.
They could still get big money in
the movie houses, but never can
agree on how the salary should be
split. So they divided a FollieS
reputation and each went their
way.
Brooke began his career as an
entertainer of Importance at the
Arlington Hotel night club. Next
to Eddie Peabody he remains my
faVorite at tWanging the banjo.
Several times I have invited
him to deputize as M. C. for bene-
fit shows and always he has re-
Sponded cheerfully. I am glad
his band is hitting on high at the
Shoreham for Brooke Johns has
worked hard for his success. and
that little family and farm out
Norbeck way.
George Brent introduces his
wife, Ruth Chatterton, in the
Earle trailer, promises she will
do some fine acting in "The
Crash" And he says it as though
he means it and was speaking
right to Ruth. That's one way.
While on the other hand Kath-
crime Hepburn, returning from
Europe, emphatically denied
to ship news reporters she was
married. Whereupon the alert
Broadway reporters flash the
news that she is and long has
been married to Ludlow Smith. of

that her languid and droopy-eyed
emotions can register effectively
if she is ever fortunate enough
to get the right story. No
actress could survive the moody
yarns picked out for her by Para

audiences with a smile.
In "FaithleSS"- am tax
ing Col. Harry Longs opinion
she has a better chance and

it has drawn fine business. This

the evolution of a modest group
of musicians into a concert in
strument of the first rank-the
Philadelphia Orchestra. This ia.

There have been many mile
stones on the path upward to
that crowning tribute from Serge
Rachmaninoff, great Russian com,
poser and pianist, who remarked
in Paris a year or two ago:
philadelphia has the finest
orchestra 1 have ever heard at
any time or any place in my
whole life. 1 don't know that
1 would be exaggerating if
said that was the finest Orches-
ira the world has ever heard"
Now in it's thirty-second season
the Philadelphia Orchestra num-
bers 110 players, and calls in ad-
ditional men as they are needed
for larger works.
Who is responsible for the su-
preme excellence of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra? The answer lies
largely in the names of two men.
The first is that of Fritz Scheel,
first conductor, who is credited
with being "the man who really
made the Philadelphia Orchestra
from a musical standpoint" The
second is that of Leopold Sto,
kowski, now music director, who
came to the Philadelphia OrcheS-
ira as conductor in 1912.
