A Good Officer

By a Passerby
have observed more than
once the kindness of Traffic Of
ficer Logue, at the corner of Mar
ket and Delaware streets, espe-
cially to older folks. Only this
morning an old gentleman fell on
the street, and this officer asked
a man who was parked on the
street nearby if he would drive
this old man where he wanted
to go.
I think it only proper that a
word of praise be given him, as
it is so seldom that we see an
officer, especially young one,
who is anything but gruff.

over 49," or ITO see you dancing
and mixing with those young girls,
one would think you were still IN
your twenties."
Many parents have requested their
children discard the conventional
address of Mother" and Father"
or Dad" in preference to their first
names. If parents and elders want
to act and look like adolescents,
why shouldn't youth, aspiring to
maturity, treat them as such?
1t may be disgusting to see an
arrogant, disrespectful youth, but
it is more disgusting than a ma
tured or elder man clad in rakish
or faddish attire trying to make a
"hit' with the young girls?
Or making fool of himself on a
public dance floor? Or the jaded
coquetry Of middle-aged lady?
Their diction, which should be fine
and intelligent, is mixed with the
distorted discourse and latest uuips
from some Joe College, publication.
If the parents and elders want
respect from the youth of today,
give the youth something to re-
spect.

Unemployment is the most seri-
Gus problem confronting the Ameri-
can people today. Steps have been
taken to remedy this desperate stu
alton, and some of them have been
highly successful, while others have
failed completely. Unemployment
should be dealt with fairly and
squarely and worked out in sys-
tematic manner.
For instance, know of a dozen
different cases where several mem
bers of the same family are work.
ing every day. Many of these peo-
pie are paid well for their services
and only few Of them have de-
pendents other than themselves.
One or two members of a family
working steady and paid an aver
age wage should provide an income
sufficient to take care of their fam
lily, unless it is unusually large.
say unto you, is this fair to a
nation Boosting twelve or fifteen
million unemployed men? Men who
tramp the streets daily in search
Of work, only to return at night to
endure the cries Of their hungry
children? Bread and butter liter
ally is being taken out of the thou
sands of hungry children's mouths
by families who already have more
than sufficient means.
If this is fair to our unfortunate
men and women who are unable to
procure work, then allow me to say
that justice no longer prevails. 1t
is high time that our governments,
whether they be federal, state or
local. take this injustice into hand
and see that it does not continue
in the future.

From time to time much has been
written denouncing youth for lack
of respect to elders. One wonders if
those writer's realize that there are
few elders to respect.
Maturity everywhere today is at
such diScredit that youth must be
careful whom it respects, for fear of
offending the respected. The mature
parent of today seems to be highly
complimented by the words, why!

Jane Says, No, No

They offered Jane COwI a week
on E Street at the National for
the revival season. But Miss COwI
turned it down cold. She is not
a 81 top star except on rare Occa-
SiOnS.
One of those rare occasions was
this summer when she apparently
needed to replenish her excheQuer.
So she revived Camille" at the
fremont in Boston at 81 top.
Business was sensational and Miss
COwI collected her $1,000 a week
guarantee and a big percentage
besides.
But she is a $3.50 top star for
the road and only Boston will see
her at cut prices.

Columbia Feature
Is Entertaining

Life in the Raw" which
opend yesterday at the Co
lumbia Theater with George
O'Brien, Claire Trevor and Greta
Nissen in the leading roles, rates
as an above average Western
story.
Adapted from a Zane Grey
novel, the film possesses several
qualities that the usual horse
operas do not have, namely a plot
with an unusual twist, actors
who really perform creditably,
and a minority of wild chases on
horseback.
1t tells the tale of a girl who
comes West to visit her brother,
discovers he is robber, and
helps him to escape when he is
accused of murder. A chance &C.
quaintance aids her, comes to
her rescue when she is kidnapped
and, of course, wins her in the
end.
George O'Brien is the hero,
which he plays with his usual
gusto, and also handles some
comedy in good style. Claire Tre-
vor is the girl, and proves to be
a very promising (not to mention
good-looking) young actress.
Watch out for Miss Trevor in
the future.
Greta Nissen dances a bit, con-
tributes to the action by aiding
in the lovers escape, and makes
herself generally agreeable.
Warner Richmond is one of the
bad men, and Alan Edwards the
generaIssimo of the desperados.
Francis Ford and Gaylord Pen
dleton fill the other roles nicely.
On the supplementary bill is
an amusing comedy with Smith
and Dale; a novel Hodge Podge"
reel; and the news events, which
conclude a program that should
be entertaining to adult audi
ences as we'll as the Juveniles

WarnersContract
Leslie Howard

II will never sign a lOng-term
movie contract" said Leslie
Howard, some time ago upon
his return to New York, shortly
after he had completed a pic
ture in Hollywood. "In work
,On the legitimate stage, the
actor feels that he amounts to
something, that he has some
say about what he is to do, and
how he shall behave. In Holly.
wood, five-year contract is like
buying pig in poke" .
The distinguished English
actor was completely sincere
when he made this assertion. He
frankly didn't care about the
movies as a steady diet. It was
not until after he had completed
Captured" sensational new
Warner Brothers drama of love
and strife, which is coming Fri
day to Warner Brothers Earle
Theater, that he changed his
mind about long-term movie con
tracts. He discovered to his sur
prise that he needn't be bound
down by a movie contract, that
his movements could be just as
free as he wished. And so Mr.
Howard agreed to the terms of g
five-year contract with Warner
Brothers.
Under this agreement, all his de
sireS are considered. He will
have time to do as much legiti
mate stage work as he wishes
He can write plays as he has done
before. And every so often he
will turn up at the Warner lot to
make another picture presenting
him with another strong role.
A great many interested fans
will be delighted with the news
of Leslie Howard'S new movie con
tract. For years his name has
been one to conjure with, and the
complaint was continually hearc
that only Londoners and New
Workers were able to see hi
shows.

'RevivsIs' Open
Local Season
Sept. II

Word reaches this department
from S. E. Cochran, business
manager of the National The
ater, that the theater will def
nitely swing open its doors for
business on September IL with
no less than one of the stage
and screens most notable stars,
Corinne Griffith, in a return en-
gagement of Noel Coward'S highly
successful comedy, Design For
Living"
For the week of September 18
there will be offered a revival
of Austin Stong's great play
Seventh Heaven" with Helen
Menken starred as Diane, the
part she created in John Golden's
original production of the play
that has taken rank as one OF
the outstanding classics of the
American theater.
The week of September 25 will
bring another luminary of the
stage and screen, Bert Lytell, in
Criminal at Large" a drama
that enjoyed a full seasons run
in New York last year, which
success prevented a road tour.
Local playgoers will not only
have the opportunity of witness,
ing this fine play but they will
have their first glimpse of Bert
Lytell in "the flesh and blood
for a long time.
For these three attractions a
popular scale of prices will pre-
vail with a top of 81 for the
night performances with Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees at so
cents.
Never before in the history Of
local theatricals has such an ar
ray of artists and plays bearing
the public's stamp of approval
been offered at such a minimum
cost to the lovers of the "speak-
ing stage" Mail orders are be-
ing accepted for the attractions

ing with the policy of the Ma
tional, will open each Thursday

desire to show Hollywood she
can conquer the microphones and
again attain screen greatness. So
Washington will see her very
soon in Noel Coward'S Design
for Living" It's a great role for
an actress and Lynn Fontanne
was sensational in the. part.
The thing which has opened
the eyes of the producers is the
phenomenal success of Miss Grit
fifth in the summer theater towns.
Her boX-office power was mani
fest. She outdrew Florence Reed,
Alice Brady and others who tried
the cow-barn auditoriums. Pro
ducers trace it to her loyal screen
following which still remembers.
Miss Griffith has two movie
offers already. There is only one
company she wants to ally with

Andrew r. Kelley great story,
Song of Songs" I came away
convinced that Miss Diet1SSh is
not the screens greatest us
matte actress but satisfied that
none of the contemporary stars
can match her for beauty.
Director Reuben Mamoulian
was fascinated and hypnotized by
that beauty apparently. He has
photographed his star in the
most enhancing lights and with
contrasting shades that bring out
her marvellous physical attrac-
tions. Never has La Dietrich
been set before her public more
advantgeously from a pictorial
standpoint.
I wish Director Mamoulian had
paid more attention to the fact
that he had a story to tell. For
one-half an hour he gives you
Dietrich beauty without progress

bring his two principal char
acters together. You feel like
saying for heavens sake forget
about camera angles and the
Raphael poses and tell US some
thing.
There is a nude statue, an
other thing of mobile beauty,

AL with Rudy

A few nights ago I tuned in
Rudy Vallee to discover that one
of the valued composer -pianists
of the Connecticut Yankees is
AL Evans.
Those who recall AL Evans as
an M. c. at Thirteenth and F.
Streets will remember he was an
accomplished artist of the key
board. But he never created
much Of stir as a stage presid-
ing officer. Eventually he was
placed in charge of music at one
of the Loew New York theaters.
On one of my vacation jaunts
I encountered Mr.. Evans. When
I asked him if he had any desire
to return to Washington, Mr..
Evans replied: mo, it's a lousy
town. They don't know what they
want and the audiences are the
toughest I ever tried to enter
tain. The critics, too, are a lotta
wise guys with a pretended great
ness which gives me a pain"
The last rejoinder sort of ST.
fenced me and it nearly caused
the Loew executive who heard it
to succumb in his chair. To tell
the honest truth was charmed
at Mr.. Evans frankness. I had
become so accustomed to have
entertainers say the usual thing
this display of unique and dis
tlnctlVe temperament impressed
me as delightfully."- naive and diff
terent. I am glad Mr.. Evans is
prospering. My last report on him
