Park to Stage
Water Meet

The District of Columbia Chap
ter, American Red Cross, will stage
a life-saving water show by Nep-
tunes Life Saving Corps, Ira Lee
Law, director, on Tuesday, July
Is, at Glen Echo. Among the in
teresting events on the program
are:
Flag relay races, jockey race,
figure floating, life saving, diving,
water stunts, and novelty SWIM
ming.
Swimming and diving is receiV-
ing much attention this summer,
and that accounts for the great
popularity of Crystal Pool and the
free lessons offered by this park.
They are continued until July %,
so there is still few more days
to learn the art under competent
instructors. Men, women, and
children may enter, and there is
no charge, other than admission to
the pool.
The midway, carousel, coaster
dips are other popular amuse-
ments at the park. Dave McWil-
liamS' Orchestra plays for the
dancers in the new ballroom every
night except Sunday.

Helen Twe|etrees in "Disgroced" !
Radio Crime Detector at Fox

There is certainly no sign OF
the recent 90 depression at Mr..
Loew's beautiful Fox Theater;; for
the price of one small ticket you
are given very close to three solid
hourS of laughter and tears or
tears and laughter, depending
upon your own mood of the mo-
ment.
"Disgraced," from the pen of
Alice D. G. Miller, is an old
story rewoven to cover the worn
spots, and set with an eye toward
attracting attention. The lovely
young mannikin, modelling gowns
for the very wealthy social but
terfly, falls in love with the afore-
mentioned butterfly'S fiance and
SO!
He's a personable young man
with a charm that is natural and
so they take their love where
they found it," as Mr.. Kipling
would say, and then he tires of
her since nothing more binding
than his unstable word holds him,
and she brings in little gum
play, and if there is surprise
in the picture, it comes at the
end.
Miss Twelvetrees, dewy-eyed
and dramatic, is the mannikin;
Adrienne Ames the butterfly, and
the newer heartthrob, Bruce Ca
bot, the menace. Ken Murray
and William Harrigan do some
good work as dependable boy
friend and father, respectively,
of Miss TWelVetreeS.
The stage offers everything ex-
cept the proverbial man on the
flying trapeze." We have Lynn
Burno, Madge WhiteSide and
Anita in songs and dances with
Frances Pepper and John Elliot;
they have very attractive stage
setting for the interpretive dance
numbers.
Then there is Steve Evans,
young-man-about-H Hollywood, who
brings some of the better known
screen stars to you by imperSona-
ton: his Joe E. Brown" is very
good. One of the Seven Little
Foys, Charlie, now grown to mans
estate, has a roundup Of amusing
characters which include a human
milk bottle. Charlie dances in the
manner OF his famous Dad. and
adds some new routine; his act
is frightened by the presence of

Into this story they have placed
Charles Ruggles as the husband
and Mary Boland as the wife,
and, adding Norman Mcleod to
direct, have turned out a farce
that is often hilarious.
Wilbur Todd loses his job but
blunders into a better one as park
commissioner. His Dulcy-like wife
revels in his new prominence,
they go high society, and then
trouble turns up through bibulous
moments that lead to misunder-

but in the end Mr.. and Mrs. Todd
are once more leading placid sub.

plays subdued vampire role and
George Barber, Morgan Wallace,

On the supplementary program
is a Ted Healy short which has
some tiresome comedy and some
splendid musical numbers. Pete
Smith undertakes to explain en-

feature which has patter and

Gambling Ship" the main
screen attraction this week, is a
synthetic story about racketeers
on floating palace just beyond
the ocean legal limit. Cary Grant
is seen as the star of this improb-
able story, a New York crook who
decides to go straight and takes
a train for California and better
things. On the Pullman he picks
up a girl (Benita Hume), whom
he thinks is a society offspring,
but who is in reality a shady sis
ter. Soon Mr.. Grant is knee deep
in trouble and it ends when the
ship is blown up by his gambling
enemies. Then they take the
honeymoon express.

piece of miscasting in Bonita

is the Graham MacNamee news

twanging ten banjoeS at once,

out jazz rhythms and winding up
with brasses blaring for a flash

Double Harness
Is Held Over

Ann H Harding and William
Powell, costarred for the first
time, hold over second week at
Keith's Theater. Charming, So
phisticated, exceedingly clever,
Double Harness" is one of the
most delightful comedies of the
season.
Edward Poor Montgomery has
provided a sparkling farce. subtle
and humorous, and Ann and
William, aided by an expert sup
porting cast, have done the rest.
Seldom is a play of the modern
love tangle aspect so we'll enacted;
in fact, it is one of the pictures
which really should not be over
looked.
Miss Harding is we'll nigh per-
feet as a lovely daughter OF a
wealthy man, bent upon marriage
with the most eligible bachelor Of
the community. The fact that
said young man has no inten-
tions in the marriage line is OF
little consequence when Ann de
cides to walk to the altar with
him, for with we'll laid plans. she
does just that. The only flaw is
that she falls madly in love with
him, which was not her original
intention.
William Powell, who is likewise
always a consummate and skillful
artist, has a perfect role for dis
playing his forte as a suave gen.
tleman. So excellent are both of
these players that honors are
most certainly evenly shared.
News flashes feature the Italian
flyers in New York making their

Sive look-in on the Century of

Back in 1928 they were cast
ing for what was to prove the
worlds worst play, something
written by an obscure newspaper
man on a trade journal. 1t was
called "The High HatterS," il
I recall, and Grant Mills, former
husband of Violet Heming, had
walked out of the juvenile role
in disgust. A nice-looking fellow
tried out. The shoestring pro-
ducer, one Louis ISquith, liked
his looks, as did the author, and
he was given the role after con-
siderable dickering about the
salary. If I remember, a COM
promise was reached at $75 a
week. The lad was excellent in
the role, but bursting with tenn
perament and flashes of hauteur,
so much so that I took a dislike
to him. However, as author, I
did have to talk to the fellow,
and one day I told him that it
was a shame so excellent an
actor was so high-hat. I'm not
high-hat," he retorted. I'm a
good actor and know it. I'm
too good for this putrid play of
yours and know that, to, but T

cake money for the rest of your

shrugged his shoulders and
walked off. The play flopped
and I didn't hear about Robert
Montgomery for long time.
"NEW YORK, July 18.-ROb-
ert Montgomery is here to be a
gentleman farmer on a farm he
never saw, although the title
and deed to this acreage near
Brewster, N. Y, is registered in
his name. The actor admitted

cusSed, with various gentlemen
of the press, his plans for a va
cation among the flowers and
the bees, the lowing kline, and
the simple delights of the home

early Monday with his wife,
Elizabeth, to take his first vaca-
ton in three years. Thinner,
perhaps, but still as boyishIy en-
thusiastic as ever, the actor ad-
mitted he's looking forward to a
