Paris spends three times more
on motion pictures than any other
form Of entertainment, according
to a report to the Commerce De

While receipts in regular thea

ticeable decline as compared with
the preceding year, receipts by
Partisan cinemas mainta n e d
practically the same level. In
that period the French capital
spent approximately $24,0O0,O0O
for amusement, Of which amount

OF every dollar spent in Paris
on amusement, 81 cents went to
cinemaS, a ratio which compares
with As cents in 1929 and 81 cents
in 1926.
During 1892 there were 252
moving picture theaterS operating
in Paris, an increase Of So over

Keith s to Launch
Season Drive

The second RKO Greater Show
Season is to be celebrated in RKO
theaters everywhere beginning
Friday, August Is. This Greater
Show Season is now to be an
annual event. During this season
of five weeks q series of out
standing pictures will be pre-
sented with the local Keith
theater representing RKO in
Washington having an imposing
array of pictures scheduled.
With every major studio in
Hollywood having buckled down
to the code that "the story is
the thing" the RKO Keith the
ater is announcing a number of
promising pictures not only fer
the five week season but con-
tinuing on through the regular
theater season of 1933-34.
From its own studio, Radio
Pictures, is announced fifty-two
feature films for the coming sea-
son. Among them will he Morn
ing Glory" starring Katherine
Hepburn with the supporting cast
including Douglas Fairbanks, jr.,
Adolphe Menjou, Mary Duncan
and c. Aubrey Smith. Morning
Glory is from the play by Zoe
Akens. Morning Glory is now
scheduled to be the opening at
traction for the RKO Greater
Show Season in Washington on
August 25.
Scheduled as the second attrac-
ton of the local season is the
already much discussed Lady
for a. Day." a Columbia Pic
lures production directed by
Frank Capra from the Cosmo-
politan Magazine story by Damon
Runyon, with Warren William,
May Robson, Walter Connolly,
Glenda Farrell, Guy Kibbee and
Jean Parker. +
Reverting to the scheduled fea-
ture productions coming from the
Radio Studios, the greater por-
ton Of which will be seen locally
at Keith'S, will be found the team
of Dolores Del Rio and Joel
McCrea, who scored so success
fully in Bird of Paradise" now
appearing together in w. H. Hud-
sons novel Green Mansions"
Other films promised are "Lit-
tie Women" with stellar cast:
"One Mans Journey" with Lionel
Barrymore; Constance Bennett in
Without Glory" and many
others.
The above list precludes a sea-
son of interesting pictures.

T.B.M. May Feel
Different If
Not Tired
BY GEORGE SPELVIN

Up in Philadelphia a young
woman named Elsie Finn, who
writes about the movies for one
of the gazettes there, is wonder
ing what will happen to the pic
lures as a result Of the NRA en-
deavor. Wondering, she specu-
lates; and her speculations rate a
bit of attention.
Says she, the NRA is going to
provide more leisure for the
masses, and as a safeguard
against getting into jams, she
expects humanity to flock to
the cinema. BUT!
Up to now, the picture palaces
have been a place for relaxation,
for SurceaSe from toll, for sleep,
if necessary. Now, says Miss Finn,
the entertainment hunter, having
done but SixOhOurS of work, will be
full of pep when he goes to the
movies. He will want, not T. B.
M. pabulum, but something he
can sink his teeth into. In short,
If a guy is wide awake, will he
stand for some Of 'em?
She thinks he will want causes
in his movies. Well, maybe so.
AS far as I'm concerned it is a
question with no answer.
Maybe you've noticed that this

That is a very decent thing of
Carlo to give the almost washed
up Jack Gilbert a break-because
he helped her when she needed
