bers of merit. This show resorts to
a sensational fan dance and Lady
in Silver number to perk up audi
ence interest. A living curtain in
this number exhibits the natural
charms of a well shaped girl in few
clothes. The day has passed for
me when I get excited over a fan
dance.
This show has a remarkable soft
shoe dancer in Harry Berry. Here
is a lad with a splendid personality
and fine brand, of showmanship.
He possesses a pair Of marvellous
dancing feet and he is equally fine
in six different types of soft shoe
dancing. He stops the show cold
and deserves that honor.
On the right side of the entertain
ment ledger is an act called the
Runaway -Four. They specialize in
some mighty fine acrobatic tumbling
and their comedy work is entertain
ing and also different.
The best chorus number is an
adoption of the Floradora idea in
which old fashioned dressed girls
have an applause contest with some
modernly unattired girls, Another
good number is the high hat nov
city.

pares to George Whites Scandals

Picture teaches Lesson

Forgotten Men," a real inside
pictorial story of the World war, is
a picture that every boy and girl in
the land should see.
More can be learned from this
picture of the war, than from all
the history books on tap. 1t is
educational with a capital e"
Don't be fooled by the screaming
advertisements about Forgotten
Men" being highly sensational,
blood-curdling drama. 1t brought
no great shock to me. But slowly
and surely, however unknOwingly, it
built up a horror Of war as an in
stitution. 1t teaches a powerful
lesson.
The scenes are very we'll dis
played The picture takes up, one
by one, the story of each nation, as
it was drawn into the conflict, and
of it's actions in the war. Many
of the scenes are incapable of being
duplicated on the artificial screen.
Some Of the photography is Won
derful, because Of it's sincere hon
esty and naturalness. Other shots
are poorly taken; but they all are
instructive.
The picture shows such battles as
the Marine, Chateau Thierry, Somme
and the Argonne.
To be sure, one sees men die, sees
human bodies blown into the air,
sees giant zeppelins crash to the
earth in flames, sees small babies
caught beneath the burning wreck
age of peasant homes, but the lesson
which this picture teaches is far
too strong to be interrupted by such
small horrors.
I realize that it would be diff
cult for children to understand that
these pictures show actual death
and destruction, that the shots
were not made on any cardboard
Hollywood lot, but if they could be
made to understand, it would be
greatly worth while for them to see

FR|ZZELL R RAPS
FORECLOSURES

Charges that financial advisers
in the District, because of lack
of adequate and intelligent in
formation" on the subject, are
hindering the success of the local
office of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation were made in a radio
address last night by Paul j.
Frizzell, manager.
Revealing that real estate fore
closures in the District reached
the unprecedented total of LII
in the first II months of this
year, Frizzeu stated that this fact
is convincing prof that a situa-
tion exists which must be cor
rected unless all values are to be
destroyed" He said:
"Can any intelligent person
look at this picture, and il is a
true picture, and be cOmplacent
about our real estate situation
in the District of Columbia?
Does not this situation justify
the criticism Of those who have
looked upon this corporation
as unneeded and unwarranted
intrusion upon their private
buSineSS?"

DR.. Alexander Wetmore, as

cred in the La Hottie Mountains Of
Haiti.
A humming bird, the size Of a
woman's thumb, and said to be
the smallest bird on earth, at

HOTEL LWORKERS
ASSA|L CODE

Assailing the code for their
trades as "inhuman," local hotel
and restaurant workers have adj
dressed a protest to NRA Ad-
ministrator Johnson and PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, following a reso-
luton adopted at a mass meet
ing last night.
Sponsored by the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Union No.
781, of which Charles E. Sands
Is secretary and treasurer, the
meeting attracted about $50
workers, both union and nom
union.
Pointing out that under a S.
cent-an-hour differential in
wages between the North and
the South, employees receiving
tips would get only IL cents an
hour in the South, the resolu-
ton stated:
''We object to the labor pro-
visions, and maintain that this
code, if signed, will reduce
earnings and recognize tips
and meals as part of wages,
both of which have never been
. common practice in the in
duStry."

DR.. DORAN SEES
REPEAL s AIMS
THREATENED
Baltimore Measure to Define
Various Brands Regarded
As Nuisance Measure

Enactment by the various States
and communities of local liquor
labelling laws will, if continued,
result in defeating the purpose
sought in the repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment, DR.. James M.
Doran, supervisor of the distillers'
code authority, asserted today.
He made this statement in
discussing the proposed labelling
law which is to be offered for
Baltimore by the Baltimore city
council.
The proposed Baltimore meas
ure would define the various
liquors and their blends, rectifi-
cations and limitations and would
give the Health Department au-
thority to inspect them and con-
fiscate any found to be misla-
beled.
Doran said that local proposals
such as this which are being put
forward in the various communi-
ties and States, may, if enacted,
cause the industry to cease it's
operations and withhold it, prod
ucts from the market. He said:
"The legal distilled spirits in
dustry will be compelled to shut
down their bOttling and ship
ping operations and withhold
their goods from the legal mar
ket unless there is a halt to
the miscellaneous ilI-cOnsidered
and destructive attempts now
being made by various local
regulatory authorities to require
labels Of all sorts and descrip.
tiOnS to be placed on the prod
UctS Of the legal industry for
sale in numerous communities
throughout the country"

TRANSOCEAN|C
UPT|ALS VOID

Not so good.
That is the attitude of United
States immigration officials re-
garding the transoceanic marri-
age ceremony planned by Benja-
min Lebowitz, of Arkansas, and
Miss Herminia Weiss, of Prague,
Czechoslovakia. Lebowitz planned
to marry Miss Weiss by trans
atlantic telephone so he could
bring her here as his wife. But
the American Consul General in
Prague said no.
Similarly, a marriage by tele-
phone of Sofia Margareta Carbon,
of Sweden and Bihrl Clason, of
Detroit, while the bride was In
her Swedish home and Clason on
this side of the water, has been
ruled no marriage, so far as the
immigration bureau is concerned.
Solicitor Charles E. WyZanSki,
jr., of the Labor Department,
said Michigan law provides that
the parties shall declare in the
presence of the magistrate or min
lister and the attending witnesses
that they take each other as hus-
band and wife.

POLITICAL ROW
SEEN BACK Of
LEE SUIT
Receiver for Maryland News,
Cancellation of Notes
Asked by Coffman

Five major pleas are included
in the suit filed in Circuit Court
at Rockville yesterday by John
w. Coffman, formerly Takoma
Park publisher, against the Mary
land Publishing Company, a cor
poration, and E. Brooke Lee, its
president.
Mr.. Lee is leader of the Demo
cratic party in Montgomery
county, and the suit is not the
first time he has been attacked
by political enemies. Mr.. Cott;
man is an antiorganization Dem
ocrat.
The pleas are: !
1. Appointment of a receiver
for the corporation.
2. Restrain Mr.. Lee from col.
lecting on notes given him by the
corporation for money loaned it.
3. Declare null and void chat.
tel deed of trust and order that
the notes of indebtedness be
given up for cancellation.
4. Receivers shall disallow loans
made by Mr. Lee to the corpora
ton.
S. If the receivers find the cor.
poration insolvent, it shall be dis
solved and liquidated.
Mr.. Coffman, formerly publisher
of a paper in Takoma Park which
was absorbed by the Maryland
News, said T. Howard Duckett ana
Howard Marbury, prominent Dem
ocrats and trustees of the corpo.
ration, had executed a chattel
deed of trust guaranteeing Mr..
Lee $75 900. This was done last
March S, and was approved by
majority of the stockholders at .
meeting May IS.
Mr.. Coffman declared he voted
against this. but was overrun by
the Lee forces.
Other allegations are that Mr..
Lee has made no statement Of the
corporations financial condition,
as is required by Maryland law,
and that no notice of the annual
meetings of the stockholders was
sent him in 1928, 1929 and in
1882, and for these reasons he
believes the corporation insolvent.
The suit was filed through Will
son L. Townsend, Kensington at
torney.
