BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLY WOOD. Calf, April p
(N.ANA) We have turned back to
war for our pictures, with strife in the
air and on the sea our main themes.
Hell Below" which taps the drama
occasioned by U-boat warfare, is one Of
the most thrilling of these new films.
It is interesting on several counts:
On its excellent direction by Jack Con-
way and for some of the best camera
work on submarines I have yet seen.
For the generally excellent performances
Of its entire cast-a balanced happen
ing which is rare one. And for the
dialogue. which is at most times under
standable, significantly apt and without
display of any sort of mechanics. For
its comedy by Jimmy Durante-but that
goes almost without saying for all this
actors performances.
It is interesting beyond all these
things in that it gives us an actress OF
quality in Madge Evans, young woman
whom I humbly admit I have hitherto
considered just another Hollywood face
with perfect features and very little be-
hind it all. She gave a spirited and
intelligent performance Throughout and
at times reached poignant heights,
which display great promise for hsr as
q Tragic actress. Sllc dpptdlSO La
more beautiful than hitherto. her classic
features being strongly reminiscent OF
Diana Manners in her heyday.
Bob Montgomery, who is very. very
good, when he is good. hit role which
gave him plenty of meat and took ad-
vantage of all of it. His version of the
young American U-boat officer is a
strange mixture of boyish impetuous-
ness and bitter sophistication. He is
charming in the lighter moments, and
capable and convincing in the stern
ones.
Walter Huston as the grim U-boat
commander is very fine. And while the
drama on the submerged submarine is
reminiscent of Men Without Women"
we must remember that only certain
set of dramatic circumstances may
occur on a submerged U-boat and per-
haps exhaustion of oxygen is the high
light of submarine tragedy.
There is very funny fight between
Jimmy Durante and boxing kangaroo.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 27.-Federal Judge
Francis G. Caffey denied yesterday a
motion of Samuel Zirn, counsel for mi
nority bondholders in the Paramount
Publix Corporation, to set aside the cleo
ton of Charles B. Hilles, Louis j. Horo-
WITT and Eugene w. Leake as trustees in
bankruptcy for the concern.
Zirns motion also sought to have the
meeting at which they were elected re-
opened and to have Federal Referee
Henry K. Davis discharged from further
consideration of the case. Zirn alleged
that Davis had ''railroaded" the election
of trustees by not allowing him to ex-
anime proofs Of claim voted.
THE referee would have failed in his
duties" Judge Caffey said, IF he had
not proceeded expeditiously. If We es-
tablish the practice of holding up every
meeting until every one could have every
thing he wanted passed upon it would
be intolerable"

ANNUAL CONCERT OF
CHEVY CHASE WOMEN
Music Section of Club Assisted by
the Chanters and Jean
Westbrook, Violinist.

The music section of the Woman's
Club of Chevy Chase, assisted by the
Chevy Chase Chanters and Jean West
brook, violinist, presented its annual
concert at Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School last night.
The quality of the women's voices
was especially fresh and charming and
well balanced throughout. The con-
ductor, Herndon MorseA, is to be con-
graduated on having kept the voices
unstrained. The chorus should be
heard more frequently in songs of the
caliber OF the Brahms, ave Marie"
which was certainly the high point in
a program, which also included "Salu-
tation" S. R. Gaines; 1.-The Star of
Gold" Mana-Zucca; "A Morning In
Spring" H. A. Matthews; THE ON
Impotence" Schubert; II Bring You
Lilies From My Garden" Clare Ed
wards; Il Peer in the Dark" Dorothy
Radde Emery, and Good Night, !"
Sumner, by the music section.
"A Voice." by Mr.. Morsell, was the
outstanding number by the Chanters,
who also sang Gypsy Life" Charles
P. Scott; Song of the Vikings" Eaton
Goodbye" Tosti-Bosford. and, to-
gether with the music section, DAY
break" by Eaton flaming. The mems
voices were of excellent range, but the
group would profit by the addition of
some second BASES.
Miss Westbrook, who played "Crac-
coma: by Vital; La Gitanna," by
Kreisler, and "Melodie," by Chuck
Kreisler, all from memory, showed re-
markable ability and exhaustive study
for one so young. Betty Baum, her &C
companist, displayed sympathy and
understanding.
The program closed with the singing
Of The Bells of Saint Marys," for
which the section is famed. D. H.

Prof. McCorkle's ample technic was

ing of the finale especially. and were
given an ovation at its conclusion.
The program closed with a group Of
smaller numbers by Gordon, Burleigh
