Stars at Park

When better fun is to be pro-
vided, Glen Echo will provide it,
seems to be the slogan of that
popular resort. and weekend
merrymakers will find it so. This
year the star attraction is the
new $4,000 Spanish ball room,
which, indeed, must be seen to be
appreciated. Beautiful lighting
effects, a striking architectural
design and an enlarged orchestra
under the direction of MacWil-
liams makes this place a big
drawing card for the dancers.
every evening except Sunday,
from $50 until 11:3O p. m.
The Coaster Dips, the Dodgem
Rides and the Old Mill have all
been greatly improved, but have
lost none of their thrills and
charm. Throughout its broad
acres. the Maryland resort offers
something of interest at every
turn. The Airplane Swings, the
Carrousel and Midway. the Swim
ming Pool to be opened on May
81, the picnic grounds, with
benches, tables and chairs galore,
convenient to all sorts of refresh
ment stands, the shooting gal
leries and other small amuse-
ments form a panorama OF pleas
ure for the visitor. Glen Echo
Park is only a few minutes from
the heart of everything.

Will Mdhoney Is Star Of Fox Bill;
Warriors Husband" on Screen

Will Mahoney, with his xylo-
phone, his trick steps and his
funny falls, tops the program at
the Fox Theater this week, and
those who admire such lyrics as
"She's My Lily" will have the
time of their young lives. Ma
honey, always a hilarious hit on
any bill, has all his old sure-fire
material and some that is brand
new, and he never fails to send
the crowd into Mysteries.
The xylophone dance is, of
course, the high spot of his act,
and once more THE Stars and
Stripes Forever" and the other
gems of his repertory are pounded
out by his nimble feet.
The feature picture is novelty
in many respects, amusing in
large part, and filled to the brim
with pretty girls, becomingly
garbed in little enough. It is en-
titled "The Warriors Husband"
and it recounts a hitherto unpub-
lished version of one of the II
labors of Hercules, and purports
likewise to tell what really hap
pened to those famous feminine
fighters, the well-known Amazons.
ELISA Landi, whose charming
figure is shown to advantage in
Amazonian costume, is only one
of the many gals who forego the
joys of armed combat when they
find how Greeks make love. The
picture is carried on in the ira
dition of "The Private Life of
Helen of Troy" though frankly it
isn't as good a picture as that
turned out to be. 1t reveals, how
ever, court and camp life among
the Amazons, the strategem
whereby Hercules obtains the
girdle of Diana-secret of ANA
zonian strength-and the manner
in which the Greeks eventually
overcame their feminine antago-
nists. incidentally. Hercules is
thoroughly debunked.
Marjorie Rambeau is truly regal
as the queen, and a fine cast OF
farceurs assists in the extraordi-
nary unfoldment of an eXtraordi-
nary yarn. Ernest Truck, of
course, is much in the limelight.
The vaudeville also includes
Arthur and Morton Havel in their
maritime skit, Huber, the magi-
clan, and William Hall. famous
radio baritone, whose fine voice
won much applause.
The news reel shows Ruth Bryan
Owen off for Denmark, DR.. HAL
mar Schacht arriving here, and
other events of note. Phil Lamp
kin, the Essay Dobrowen of F
Street, conducts an overture OF
popular hits.

B e er Problem Is
Shown in Film
at Met

A panorama of the last decade,
and a conjecture as to possible
solution to gangster-evils, embel-
lished with much patriotic flag
waving and several cynical and
sarcastic digs at past mistakes of
our country is "The Song of the
Eagle" now at the Metropolitan
Theater.
The years following the war,
with the general turbulent condi-
tionS, the unrest and the entry of
the "bootlegger" into our world,
form the background of the story.
It tells of a family, the father a
prosperous brewer. whose for
tunes and happiness are blighted
by the conflict and the conse-
quent passing of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
They struggle along, the old
man refusing to listen to the
propositions of a former truck
driver, now an affluent racketeer.
The son is married, and helps in
the business, which is kept alive
solely by the little near-beer man
ufacturing they do. Comes the
present year, beer is brought back,
and the future looks pleasant.
But the liquor gangsters refuse to
acknowledge defeat, and stage
a CORY war against legal brewers,
which is only ended after the son
steps in with his old war buddies
and finishes things UP.
Although slow, at times, in get
ting to the point, and climaxed
by a ridiculous finale, the film is
interesting, if not too pleasant

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 49,.
There's no depression for crooners.
Bing Crosby, noted for his dull
cent harmonies, starts a new Sc
ries of radio broadcasts next week,
he has just signed for a third
picture at Paramount and he is
considering a handsome offer to
go to the Monseigneur Club in
London in September.
The singer, who first hypno-

a leading role in Paramount's

will follow Cloudy With Show.

assigned in the last week.
Along with most of the other
male stars of Hollywood, Crosby
is bitten by the hunting fad. He

stage by Alfred Lunt. To one
who saw both versions and who
Is partial to comparisons the
verdict is: John Barrymore sur
passes the Lunt conception and
Interpretation of the egotistical

portrait is considerably less deft
and warming than the Fontanne

Which is to say that Hollywood

Similitude.
Some Crazy DOings
Briefly its story is of the beau
tiful Elena married to the emf
nent psychoanalyst, DR.. Anton
Krug. In her younger days
Elena had been more than a
friend to the Archduke Rudolf
but with the collapse of the Haps,
burg dynasty had married and
settled down to the sedate and
less glamorous existence of faith.
full wife. Then Elena is invited to
a quiet reunion of the Hapsburg
royalty who are rounded up for a
secret celebration at Frau Lu-
cher's hotel. Elena decides not
to go to the party but her hus-
band urges her to accept. Pre-
Sented as something of a chal-
aenge Elena changes her mind, at,
tends the reunion and meets Ru-
dolf. He is still the devil-may,
care gallant, taking his love where
he finds it, and daring Elena to
resist him. There is high comedy
and touch of pathos in these
scenes when Rudolf purSues her
to the Krug mansion farcical
twist in the way their affair is
ironed out.
Sly Suggestions
This is a naughty story if you
care to use your Imagination but
quite harmless without the imag-
ipative trimmings. Most adults
who will see it can be trusted to
complete what the implications
suggest.
John Barrymore gives one of
his finest performances in this
picture. He is a gay dog, brazen
and impudent in his one night
of restored glory, so assured and
conceited in his crazy antics that
you grow to like him. The Diana
Wynyard support is adequate if
not distinguished. She has tried
some makeup tricks on her
mouth which make her less at
tractive. Frank Morgan as Herr
Krug and Henry Travers as Papa
Krug give portrayals that are
alive and convincing. The Sidney
Franklin direction is of the fin

be listed as a picture that is we'll

Ruth Shows Off

AS Lilly Turner" in the First
National picture of the same title,
now showing at Warner Bros.
Earle Theater, Ruth Chatterton
appears as nearly in the alto
gether as the legal statutes per-
nit. She has the role OF a
carnival queen whose duties are
the Turing of men into a medl-
cine tent show. This she does
by exposing her devastating
figure as much as possible.

Hits
As Carnival
Dancer

Ruth Chatterton gets another
good role in Lilly Turner" and
since the authors have given her
a story that grips your interest the
feature which dominates the Earle
Theater screen this week gets Al
rating from this reviewer.
Somebody has called Ruth Chat
terton a controlled Mae West and
this strikes me as a good descrip-
ton. She is a little too fond of
her cupid bow mouth and well
dressed coiffureS to play these
hard boiled girls with 100 per cent
conviction and yet she invests her
shady ladies with a certain
glamour and contriveS to win for
them a sympathetic appeal.
Hard Luck Lilly
Lilly Turner is country girl
who was rushed off her feet and
into an impetuous marriage by
carnival noaccount. Lilly decides
to be a good sport in her hard
luck and joins the travelling
troupe. Soon she finds she is an
innocent victim of biganllSt and
to save her name and the honor
of an expectant heir she marrlFs
a bottle swigger with kind heart
and no brains. The baby dies and
Lilly with her alcoholic husband
is reduced to working in medi-
cine show. Real romance soon
turns up in the person of George
Brent, taxi driver who allies
with the medicine ballyhoo as a
strong man. Just when it seems
that the sun is going to shine for
Lilly, fate deals her another blow
and the final fadeout has her re-
signed to sticking with her booz-
ing husband who is hopeleSsiy
crippled.
The Chatterton following will
find this satisfactory fare be-
cause her career is punctuated
with exciting adventure and the
star adds the unusual role Of a
hootchy-cootchy dancer to her
acting gallery. George Brents S
contribution to the feature calls
for little that is difficult, and
the best support is provided by
Frank McHugh. who serves as
comedy relief with the assistance
of Guy Kibbee.
Piano Act Scores
A good show on the Earle
stage this week. The No. 'act
is Gracella and Theodore, whose
story adagio featured THE Sleep
ing Princess" and a miniature
King Kong excitement for a
finale. Excellent.
No. 2 is Don Alfonso zelaya
with new piano act. It's a
lesson in musical Therapeutics
designed to show how the seven
centers of the physical body re-
act to melodies. Even with its
laughs little too profound for
vaudeville audiences, who prefer
more of the Zelaya lingering. He
