Glen Echo Draws
Large Crowds

Many week-enders went to
Glen Echo Park over Saturday
and Sunday, where the 40 acres
of fun furnished them with every
diversion. The big Crystal Pool
did much to mitigate mid-August
weather, and the patrons in this
miniature seashore testified to its
popularity.
Saturday nights crowds in the
Spanish Garden ballroom were
keenly interested in the "Mis5 Per
sonality" contest, as well as the
dancing to the tunes of McWil-
liam's Orchestra.
Big thrillers were up front in
popularity as usual, including the
Coaster Dips, Airplane Swings,
Dodgem Rides, Old Mill, Midway
and the CarrouSel.
Sunday was the big day for pic
mic parties, entire families taking
advantage Of the unusual accom-
modations in the groves. Here
they found tables, benches, chairs
and everything necessary for a
good time.

Beach Picknickers
Escape Heat

Washington hopes of continued
cool weather were shattered over
the weekend by a sudden rise in
the temperature that sent
sweltering citizens post-haste to
the nearby beach resorts. Chesa-
peake Beach proved a haven for
many. The large, cool picnic
groves of Seaside Park were
utilized by hundreds of families
who found Washington not the
most comfortable place in the
world on a hot Sunday.
Bernie Jarboe's enlarged 10
man band drew large throng
of dance enthusiasts to the Sea-
side Ballroom Saturday night. A
special program of the latest Tin
Pan Alley hits was presented by
the orchestra.
Next Saturday the Loew'S Fox
Theater Cadet Band will be the
guests of the resort. The young
sters will present a concert on
the grounds in the early evening
and appear later in the ballroom.

Play of Action Has
Stage Features
and Thrills.

GLAMOUR Of the entertainment
~ world is literally provided in the
screen drama, Sing, Sinner, Sing"
ater, with Paul Lukas and Leila Hyams
in the leading roles. Both Of these two
actors of excellent records are factors
in the story Of the eventful episode Of
the very wealthy young man who mar
rieS the public singer against the pro-
test of parents and proceeds to bring
distress to his young partner by excess
stve dissipation.
The romance develops under difficult
ties. which are due largely to the en-
nifty of the former admirer Of the
young woman and the efforts of pro-
fessional thieves to rob the safe Of the
entertainment company. The story in
wolves much action aQd Is developed
with many strong situations. provided
largely through the talents of Miss
Hyams and Mr.. Lukas. Ruth Dom
nelly, an actress of experience, also
creates comedy which Is closely linked
with the share Of the plot that falls to
the two stars.
Interest attaches largely to the place
OF Miss Hyams in the production. and
she finds many opportunities for dis
plot. Donald Dillaway appears opposite
her, and in play which puts him in
position of unenviable weakness as
a character, he performs. nevertheless.
with spirit and convincing sincerity
There is large cast. and the constant
succession of violent incidents makes
the offering one which appeals to those
who are attracted by the play of action.
Mr.. Lukas has the difficult task of
creating vindictive character of the
kind that Is rarely associated with him,
but he carries it through with the tech
nical merit that his name has come to
imply. Other competent members of
the company are George E. Stone and
Joyce Compton.
The Columbia also offers several mer-
itorious short films, including a striking
subject for the Terry Toons and an
excellent Andy Clyde picture. One of
the interesting offerings is a travel
talk dealing with Indo- China. includ-

"TOO MUCH HARMONY"

The latest of the Bing Crosby mu-

going into it's third week at the Metro

ularity of this singer, who scaled the
heights in such short time.
The songs of this film are con-

them played almost continually where
ever one goes There is the drawl Of
Jack Okie, playing Southerner, that
seemingly has captivated many. The
dry efforts of Skeets Gallagher and
the nervously energetic Harry Green
combine to make swift dialogue swifter
There is also the very attractive Judith
Allen and the smartly-clad Lilyan
Tashman and a chorus Of girls who
dance. And, so "Too Much Harmony"
goes into the third week.
The entire show swings along under
tn combined momentum of the singing
of popular Mr.. Crosby, the what-have-

neat comebacks of Mr. Green, and
little does it matter just what story
has been thrown in to hold the thing
together. j. N. H.
