SHOWS AT STRAND THEATRE
Three Changes of High-Cla Pic,
lures Given Each Week

lures Given Each Week
\ Today and Thursday The
Phantom President" political com
edy featuring George M. Cohan,
Claudette Colbert and Jimmy Du-
rante. The picture marks the de-
but of Cohan, for quarter of a
century a leading figure in the
American theatre, in talking pic
lures. In it he plays two roles
a Presidential candidate and a
medicine-show barker. Clever
campaign managers discover the
medicine-show barker, and hire
him to impersonate the candidate
until election day When he gets
to work, voters rally in ever-in-
creasing numbers to the candi-
dates standard, and it looks like a
sure walkaway for him until a
dramatic, if amusing, rift develops
between the two men who look
alike
Friday and Saturday - "Red
Dust" with the screens most
flaming lovers, Clark Gable and
Jean Harlow, appearing together.
Presenting this interesting combi-
nation of screen lovers, Gable and
Miss Harlow, the action of the
story takes place in Cochin, China.
It is based on the Wilson Collision
stage hit of the same title, in
which is depicted the dramatic
triangle which results when the
aristocratic wife of French en-
gineer visits a rubber plantation
and falls in love with its overseer,
thus engendering the hatred Of a
defiant hard-boiled girl Of the
dance han variety, who has prior
claim on the man. Gable is seen
at his best as the gruff overseer of
the plantation who has been hard
ened and brutalized in gaining a
victory over the elements Of the
tropics. Likewise, Miss Harlow is
convincing as the Ioose-moraled
Vantine, born in the tropic, who
makes trips up the river from
Saigon, eventually finds the man
she wants to settle down with, and
then has to put up a terrific fight
for him.
Monday and Tuesday Grand
Hotel" IS distinct triumph of
the talkies. The completed prod
uct, viewed as a whole, is bigger
than its amazing cast, story, di-
rectorial effort and production. II
is quite the most artistic and
worthy offering the screen has
known since the advent Of talkies,
if not inclusive of the silent days.
If for only the cast, boasting such
stars az Greta Garbo, John Barry
more, Joan Crawford, Wallace
Berry, Lionel Barrymore, Lewis
Stone and Jean Hersholt, the pic
turization of the famous Vicki
Baum play would have much to
commend it as an outstanding pic
ture. But, in addition to the mag
nificent characterizations, it has
the superb mounting of imposing
sets, splendid photography and ad-
mirable direction by Edmund
Goulding. Goulding missed moth
ing in his consuming desire to
bring Grand Hot el' to the screen
as vividly symbolic human docu-
ment. The film version cannot be
called a mere copy Of the stage
play. It is vastly more than that.
in fact, it is a combination Of the
original novel and the best that
the theatre piece contained 1t
moves swiftly and permits an un-
limited scope Of action, yet it never
goes outside the hotel in which the
entire story is unfolded. No one
can afford to miss this great film,
SO take a tip and 60 early.

District Merchants
Hail Return of
Good Money

In the throes of a banking
holiday, business men we're con-
fronted with all kinds of cur
rency-good and bad.
Washington merchants, now
that the banks are opening,
look back upon the past fort
night as a sort of nightmare.
People unearthed all sorts Of
coin with which to make pur-
chases. The consequence was,
clerks had to be ever on the
alert to evade counterfeiters.
At that, some of the strange
coins that came into circulation
would start a museum. A lot
of the old-time shin-plasters
came to light, and fake bills
of all kinds. Now that the hol-
iday is about over the local
merchants are breathing sighs
of relief,

FIGHT.
SCHOOL SLASH

Civic organizations, women's
clubs, and Parent-Teacher as
sociations of Montgomery county,
at their meeting last night, not
only opposed any curtailment of
the present high school stand
ards, but advocated further
school bonds to meet the new
construction program.
Resolutions favoring the main
tenance of present standards were
adopted. They are addressed to
Thomas c. Darby, president of
the county school board, and
Lacy Shaw, president Of the
board of county commissioners.
To meet the building program
for 1933-19341935, 100000 would
be needed in addition to $528,000
already available and $4,000 in
bonds already authorized.
The resolution states the school
budget should meet standards Of
adequate classrooms, maintenance
and repair of buildings, janitor
service, maintenance of curricula,
continuance of the county super
vising board to assist teachers,
reasonable provision for supplies
and teaching m terials, and
should provide for not more than
40 children to a classroom.
It also opposes any reduction
of teachers salaries and favors
the continuance of the teachers
retirement fund.

RULES
To Be EASED

An amendment to the recently
adopted traffic regulation govern
ing the speed of emergency We
hicles will be presented to the
District Commissioners today, fol-
lowing a meeting yesterday in the
office of Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride.
The regulation as it now stands
limits the speed of ambulances
and other vehicles to 80 miles per
hour and requires them to stop
before passing a red light. The
provision was opposed by the
traffic advisory council.
The amendment, in the nature
of a compromise, provides that
policemen pursuing suspec e d
felons or traffic violators are ex-
empt from the new regulation.
The conference yesterday was at
tended by Bride and his assist
ant, Edward w. Thomas; Inspec-
tor B. A. Lamb, traffic bureau;
M. o. Eldridge, assistant t-affic
director, and Edwin S. Hege and
Charles C. Collins, of the traffic
advisory council.
The new provision will be in
corporated in the new traffic code
which was recently prepared by
the council, despite the opposi-
ton of that body.

WAR On RUM

When Prohibition Commissioner
Amos w. Woodcock announced
that the Federal Government
would no longer pay informers for
information about speakeasies,
the District government was of
the opinion. that it couldn't do
anything about it. Now, however,
that opinion has been revised, and
it appears that there are "ample
funds" available to get evidence
in other words, liquor.
At conference yesterday of
prohibition officials, police and
District officials, it was decided
to go ahead full blast on the en-
forcement program, and a new
drive on the liquor traffic is ex-

Hits

By the UMP

Rockville got Willie Coleman to
pitch a Sunday game and albeit
Colesville defeated the county-seaters
by to 2 count. Rockville missed
that 8 hits usually garnered by Joe
Hutchinson. He had suffered an arm
injury Saturday and was unable to
go but one inning. Miller again dem
onstrated that he is one of Colesviile's
outstanding ball players.
The above dissertation brings up the
subject of county all-star team. The
writer has not seen several of the
county aggregations play but from a
lperusal of box scores and from the
opinion of those who are well fitted
to judge diamond material the follow
ing should go through:
Outfelders-Reds Miller, Colesville;
Joe Hutchinson, Rockville; Burgee,
Boyd; Dosh, Gaithersburg and DON
aid Hobbs, Colesville.
First base-Freas, Wheaton, Sheetz,
Cabin John and Fitzgerald, Silver
Spring.
Second base = Stevens, Wheaton;
Harris, Brighton and Brooke Grub,
Silver Spring.
Shortstop-Elmer Hutchinson, Rock
vile; Hersperger, Dickerson and Isom,
Takoma Park.
Third base-Love, Rockville; God
frey, Gaithersburg and Stevens, Sill
yer Spring.
Catchers- Howard, Gaithersburg,
and Lindsay, Colesville.
Pitchers Helm, Colesville; Ruble,
Dickerson and Coleman, Rockville.
Captain = Brooke Grubb, Silver
Spring.
Utility = James Anderson, Coles
vile; Smith, Gaithersburg; H. Best,
Wheaton; Engle, Gaithersburg, and
Bill Cissel, Colesville.
90
Some of the above players are
shifted out of their regular positions,
but such is the prerogative of a news
paper writer. We named Brooke
Grubb captain because of his contacts
and his ability to put other teams on
the spot. Eddie Helm knows more
baseball than the rest of the all-star
aggregation. Colesville has the best bat
ting team. But they are woefully weak
ON base running and poor coaching.
Should easily be the best team in the
county-Already are on their home
diamond. Don't overlook Reds Miller
as good ball player-Donald Hobbs
the best improved player-Willie
Coleman is slipping -The famous
Gaithersburg Smith kids are pretty
good-Go out to Potomac and watch
those outfelders catch fly balls
When Joe Hutchinson doesn't hit,
Rockville loses-Dont overlook Shocks
Harris as one of the county's fastest
men on the diamond.
