Leslie Howard gives inspired performance in Berkeley Square" which came to. the screen of the Poli theater yesterday, It is one of the most completely charming films to have come from Holly wood, filled with the humor and the gentle pathos that should ap- peal to all. It is not surprising to know that so marvellous a prOduc- ton was transformed from the stage to the screen >by the able hand of MT Balderston with the aid of so capable a director as Frank Lloyd.
 Picture if you can, Peter Stand ish. a modern young man of 1883. becoming so absorbed in the diary of an ancestor of his own name, that he cannot think of anything but the glorious days of the eigh- teenth century. >When he returns from visiting some of his friends he is found at the door of his residence in Berkeley Square. Upon reaching the door we behold the modern Peter Standish of 15O years ago., As modern man talk ing the place of his eighteenth century relative. he meets his own ancestors. speaks to some as if he were already dead and amazes everyone by talking of events in history that have not yet occurred. He finds himself engaged to a cousin, Kate, but falls In love with her sister, Helen. Yet he knows from the old diary that he must marry Kate. He cannot change events that have already occurred. Helen love. him, too. and this love makes it possible for her to under stand when he tells her, hopelessly, that he is a man from the future q time when she will be a hundred years dead. For q brief time they are happy, even in love that Is hopeless. And then Peter returns sadly to the present with Helen's promise that he will find the epi. taph on her gravestone cut deer to outlast the years.
 If you enjoy Q performance that is finished and perfectly handled do not fail to see Leslie Towards portrayal of Peter Standish, witt Heather Angel playing the leading feminine role opposite Howard.

 The project will be named "The Carl Mackley Houses, in honor of Carl Mackley, hosiery worker, who was shot in the strike of 1881.
 Oscar G. St Sonorov, one of the architects, explained the plans.
 'The project" he said, Ifs de- signed to answer the needs of the younger members of the hosiery tradle. This is because it is very uneconomical for young couple to get housing in the one form available now in that district within their price range, namely. a row house.

one of the most beautiful films of the year, Paramount's Cradle Song" starring lovely Dorothea l Wieck, sensational star of "Maed- chen in Uniform. heads the dou- ble feature program at the Strand to-day and tomorrow.
 Completely off the beaten track of motion picture entertainment, Cradle Song" is a delicate hand ling of a difficult theme. The story by the noted Spanish playwright, G. M. Martinez Sierra. tells of a child abandoned at a convent, and raised by one of the sisters. As Sister Joanna, Miss Wieck has been longing for the m0therhood denied her. She lavishes on the foundlings all the love and affec- ton she would have given to a child of her own. Drama and heartbreak mount to a moving cli- max when the child, grown to gir!- hood, meets a. young man outside the convent and leaves to marry him?
 A spiritual quality pervades the entire production though the char acters are sharply and individually etched. Dorothea Wieck brings to the screen, haunting beauty that promises much for the future. Sir Guy Standing in one of the prin- cipal roles gives warming and heartfelt performance. As tho mother superior Louise Dresser Is excellent. Evelyn Venable. the girl, is refreshing and charming.
 Paramount deserves consider able praise for quality and un- usualness of this production. As an example of the finer things that can come from Hollywood. 1t Is unsurpassed.
 The companion feature presents Slim Summerville and Andy De- vine in the comedy hit Horse play" Another double feature program will be presented, starting Saturday to include Paramcunt's new smash-hit musical comedy "Take a Chance" and Jack Holt in Master of Men,"

 Dancing or Medicine? There Mary and I developed what mother and her friends fond | ly referred to as talent for danc- l ing. How good we were, we prob. ably never shall know, but mother had us take lessons from a former pupil of Pavlowa.
 This fondness for the dance be- gan to war with my natural in- clination toward medicine. But decided that to be doctor like mother and dad was nObler even than to be a dancer like Pavlowa,
 I was so excited that couldn't sleep. Next morning sent Q letter, special delivery, to mother, telling her all about it. Mother, never a demonstrative parent in public, was the most af- fectionate of mothers on paper. So thought that now she would write me one of her most fulsome letters

 Dad, however, was surprised, and not too pleasantly. While it was his dearest wish that one of the boys should take up medicine, he said, "It's too hard life for my little girl"
 Having settled my future, couldn't wait to accomplish it. Be. cause St Katharine's had a i've year high school course, I trans- ferred the next year to the Chi cago Latin school, which offered a four-year course.
