The emotional intensity of the story is frightened by the clever comedy of Winnie Lightner, as the heroine's pal and department store mate and by Guy Kibbee as Winnie's unappreciated wooer.

''Play Girl" Companion
 Feature at Theater

Drama of the thoroughly mod ern type is "The Wiser Sex" Para mounts talking edition of Clyde Fith's play, "Her Confessions" which the New Garden theater will offer Sunday and Monday. Clau- dette Colbert, perhaps the most un- scandalized beauty of films, and an exquisite brunette who performed charmingly in "Manslaughter," Secrets of a Secretary and 'The Smiling Lieutenant" is featured in Douglas, young stage thespian, who the new offering with Melvyn made his photoplay debut with Gloria Swanson in Tonight Or Never" Others in the cast are Lilyan Tashman, William Boyd, Fife shannon, Ross Alexander, Franchot Tone and Douglas Bum- brille. The direction is by Berthold Biertel. Miss Colbert is cast as charming lady of luxurious means, who gives up a European play tour to come to the rescue of Douglas. Douglas, who neglects his love duties to wash up an underworld blot on his city, has been prettily framed into a murder charge through the untender gestures of Boyd and Miss Tashman, a former show girl friend. Action is said to abound in drama and thrills, sus- tained right up to the climax, in which Miss Colbert, obviously doomed for her Hast ride" neatly turns the tables on the "brains" of the racketeer element. Those who recall how fetchingly Miss Colbert wore her platinum masquerade wig interested in seeing their favorite in Secrets of a Secretary" will be disguised herself as kittenish blonde for some inspired private sleuthing in this latest release.

Rededication of the Tomb

in part today when more than
100 persons walked out of
the amphitheater during the
address of Secretary Of War,
Patrick Jay Hurley, in protest
to his department during the
siege of the Bonus Expedi-
tiOnary Force.
There was no disturbance, the
men and women who walked out

Throughout the address Of
Louis A. Johnson, national COM
mander Of the American Legion,
the audience listened attentively.
When johnson began his intro
duction of Hurley, however, the
first break began. 1t became
palpably noticeable as Hurley
stepped in front of the micro
phone.
Anticipating trouble, officials in
charge of the exercises had q
special detail of District police
on duty, augmenting extra details
of Park police and soldiers from
Fort Myer.
Hurley arrived shortly before
II o'clock to lay a wreath on
behalf of President Hoover,
closely guarded by Secret Service
men. These remained with him
during, his address while others
patrolled the colonnade, all per
sons except them being barred
from it.
Guests Censored
Due to a threat made by local
Legionnaires to walk out on
Hurley, no one was admitted to
the amphitheater except by card.
Many members of Legion posts
who took part in the parade
from the EllipSe across the
Memorial Bridge to the cemetery
protested but without result.
Hurley laid his wreath while
columns of soldiers. sailors, and
Marines stood rigidly at trail
arms.
