A Balloon Number
Wendy, as a clown, sang
"The Circus" which told of
the odd dilemma of a monkey,
and great clusters of balloons
made their appearance with
the next number. An icicle
costume with a sun headdress
was worn for the number
which followed, and the sun
melted the icicle away. A
greedy little pig was the sub
ject of the next song and a
descriptive poster formed the
background for the final mum.
ber "The Owl and the Pussy
Cat"
The children then marched
to the state dining room where
they separated, Sistie playing
hostess to the older ones in
this historic roor, and the
younger ones assembling in the
family dining room, where
little Buzzie acted as host.
The refreshments consisted of
q nursery supper, with ice
cream and cake to top it off.
AS the little guests emerged
from supper, each was pre-
Sented with a gift from Sis
tie and Buzzie, which took the
form of a toy.

SECOND WEEK

''D0uble Harness.
Stars Harding
and Powell.

CONTINUING for Q second week,
~ Double Harness." which stars Ann
Harding and William Powell at R-K-O
Keith's, repeats because 1t Is main
floor invention in its story and oners
good reason why an actress who posses
es Imagination should be able to reacn
out from the screen and mold the
thoughts Of an audience.
In dramatic achievement, the play
discloses the fundamental conception
Of q matching Of two kind Of strategy
the variety which preys upon the world
and the class that Is equally clever IN
defense and makes honorable capitai
Of the errors that creep into un1nspr-
ing schemes. This form Of contest takes
its interest chiefly from the failure Of
the too-designing character. Mr.. Powell,
al q man of complete regularity IN
physical appearance and Of splendid
diction, becomes in this play merely the
object upon which the wits OF Ann
Harding are sharpened. He Is the pas
sive partner of the combination, and
against the light Of his perfect person.
atty the fine acting Of the woman Is
silhouetted.
Miss Harding possesses that rare COM
bination that illumines all creative
Work--obvious understanding OF every
phase Of life, appreciation Of emotional
motives. and q restrained sense OF
humor which lightens and gives dis
tinction to most Of her utterances. Per-
hsps this play, without any ethical pur-
nose but with the spirit OF the theatfi-
cal and the dramatic. may eventually
Be rated as one in which she approached
the high personal standards OF the leglt-
innate stage. .....,
Another phase which is indispensable
TO the unfolding Of q strong play Is the
psychological. Two persons, who en-
gage in Q game which might become
ruthless, start out with no handicap
of sensibility, but with the definite pur-
pose to win without conscience, and yet,
Ia the intellectual struggle that ensues,
each becomes an admirer of the other,
and In the end they discard their orig
inal intentions and are overwhelmed
by the tender emotions OF which tney
had no conception at the beginning.
An ambitious woman and a supremacy
selfish man ind harmonious devotion
to the ideals Of worth while human
conduct.
To the unthinking and the merely
curious, there is a fascination In the
detailed exposition Of the methods that
are employed by persons Of refined in
stincts in dealing ruthlessly with the
important relations Of life. To all per-
sons it Is an outstanding play, with q
pair of stars rising to the heights OF
character Interpretation.
The Keith program also includes the
usual variety of short films.

PIPE LINE CONTROL
URGED BY MARYLAND
Holds Independent Producers
of Oil Are at Mercy
of Big Companies.

BY the Associated Press.
One member Of the Vigilant bloc that
hopes pipeline control will be embodied
in q fair competition agreement for the
oil industry, said today that unless it
is, he will take up the case with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The spokesman was Representative
Marland, Democrat Of Oklahoma, who
told newspaper men he could not ''un-
derstand why the industry does not try
to regulate" pipe lines.
Hearings Begin Monday.
Hearings begin Monday before the
National Recovery Administration on .
trade code fixing hours and pay for
oil producers. refiners and marketers
The bloc Of which Marland Is IN adher-
ent contends that big companies which
own pipe lines as we'll as refineries
and sales outlets have independents at
their mercy through control Of the pipe
lines
These big companies, they argue. can
charge fees and allocate pipe line space

"If they (pipe lines) don't come In

take It up with the President. The

In . recent report, the Independent
Petroleum Association held the petro-
leum code now before the administra-
tion could not cover pipe lines because
it was drawn up for the producing, re.
fining and marketing divisions, and
added:
"Those who urge the inclusion OF the
pipe lines In the petroleum code may,
or perhaps may not, ignore the lac.
that this inclusion would exempt the
pipe lines from certain provisions Of
the antitrust laws"
