bewilderingly beautiful dance

ley and employing a cast Of
Hollywood actors which includes
Ruby Keeler, Guy Kibbe, Dick
Powell, Joan Blondell, Ginger
Rogers, Aline MacMahon, Ned
Sparks and Clarence Nordstrom,
Ahne MacMahon takes the lead
in comedy and Joan Blondell in
dramatic scenes. The story is
banal and familiar. is loosely
thrown together with the usual
injection of vulgarities under the

Lavish in scenic investiture and

Lee Tracy Hits

Lee Tracy's mechine.gun de.

Escapes BY Marriage
The railway sets out to catch
him red-handed in his career as
legal fraud. They employ a
pretty girl (Madge Evans) to lure
him on and soon Mr.. Tracy has
fallen in the net. He extricates
himself by marrying the girl only
to discover that he really loves
her. There is promise to go
straight as the final fade-out
comes.
Mr.. Tracy acts in the breezy
manner which will satisfy his fol-
lowing. The sober faced Charles
Butterworth provides some of his
delicious humor as "Floppy," a
Swindler who can drop in front
of an auto and scare the driver
into paying the right liability.
Frank Morgan plays bibulous
doctor and Madge Evans is pretty
enough for an easy role.
Good Stage Show
On the stage is Benny Rubin,

impressively in song and dance.

1t is role that has been so
Gkilfully written, expounding the
feminine argument on triangular

Harding Is Superb
The blonde star gives this
characterization dignified and i'm
pressive treatment, playing with
an ease and assurance which
seemed to indicate she enjoyed
it. When she confrontS the
"other woman" (played by Myrna
Loy), and comes to a realization
that this affair" of her husband
Is more serious than a passing
fancy, her emotional expression
and technique is given full play.
It is the big scene of the picture

Miss 10y gives it distinction and

position and rectitude in the
story give her a decided audience
edge.
Montgomery Shines
I have not been a Robert

present moment. But today I
extend the laurel to Mr.. Mont
gomery. Light comedy shows
him at his very best and his role
Of the newspaperman in when
Ladies Meet" is positively the
choicest script that has come his
way since he confronted the
camera.
Frank Morgan does his usual
excellent chore as the SHINING
husband. His is a truly forlorn
and unhappy predicament and
the ending of the story finds him
so thoroughly exposed he Is a
tragic Romeo. The audience
found a strong liking for Alice
Brady's Bridge" a babbling dow

Beaumont's direction is smooth
and expertly paced to compound
interest.
In addition. there is a fast

stars Eddie Carr, who success
fully mimics the screen celebri-
ties; a cartoon and the Hearst

Great Day Dawns

At 10 o'clock the following
morning, RaSputin Blimp
walked to Mr.. Scratch's office.
The minutes had seemed hours
to him, but the big moment
was now at hand. The blonde
secretary smiled, and ushered
the white-haired clerk into the
inner sanctum. Mr.. Scratch
nodded cordially.
"Sit down, Rasputin," he
smiled. "Sit right here, beside
me-"
Mr.. Blimp sat down. After
all these years, life had sud.
denly turned her beauteouS
eyes on him, and smiled coyly.
At last!
II want you to know, RaS.

that my firm appreciates the
service and loyalty you have
given us for the past 40 years.
I haven't spoken to you before,
but that didn't mean that I
haven't been watching you. I
have-carefully.
Accordingly, Rasputin, I feel
that I am justified in calling
you here today to give you q
little token of appreciation.
Just minute"
He reached into his desk and
drew forth package.
This is for you, Rasputin."
Mr.. Scratch concluded as he
removed the paper and handed
over the gift. 1T is a present
from the Gadget Knitting Mills

in our service"
Rasputin's dim eyes looked
at the gift in his hands. It was
a bottle of hair dye!

I was talking stories the
other night with Lou Holtz,
latest and funniest of the radio
stars.
Did you ever hear the story
Of RaSputin Blimp?" asked Mr.,
Holtz.
1 assured Mr.. Holtz that I
had not. Whereupon he dug
deep into his memory and pro-
duced the yarn that I offer
herewith.
The Washington times., 1933-06-10
Born to Work

Rasputin Blimp was one Of
those mortals who was born to
labor for others. The last time
anyone labored for him was on
the day he was born, and that
took place sixty years before
this story opens. He was short,
shy, shaggy-and sweet to his
wife. He had a small home, a
big mortgage, and his income
was about the same as his
outgo.
Ever since he had left school
at the age of twenty, Rasputin
had led that life. One day was
exactly like the next; each year
was the same as the one before.
His hair turned gray and then
went white. And the only ex-
citement he had in all that time
was the day that the sos went
from steam engine to electricity.
In the factory in which he
worked, every employe knew
Rasputin.
"See that white-haired fellow
over there?" you would be told.
"Well, that's Rasputin Blimp.
He's been setting at that same
high-stool desk for forty years
without missing a working day.
Some record, isn't it?"
Came the great day in Ras.
putin Blimp's life. Up until
1925, it had been precisely the
same as all the days that had
gone before. The same coffee,
the same train, the same stool,
the same coat hanger, the same
spot in the office. But at 11:25,
the amazing thing came to pass.
Mr.. Scratch, president of the
Gadget Knitting Mills, walked
through the office. That was
nothing new for Mr.. Scratch. He
walked around through the
office every morning. But this
time he stopped at Rasputin's IS
desk.
Good morning, Rasputin." he
said pleasantly. How are things
going?"
The Event Comes
For a few seconds Rasputin
Blimp was unable to reply.
Mr.. Scratch had said good
morning" to him! The presi'
dent, the big boss, the whole
works was standing beside him
and-wonder of wonders-he
had called him by his first
name!
Rasputin forced forth some
words.
"G-g-good morning. Mr.
Scratch" he st q m m er e
"Dd-did you want to check my
ledger?"
The big man laughed.
'No, indeed, Rasputin. I just
stepped in to see how things
were going along" Then he
grew serious. ana, Dy CIle
way, just how long have you
been with our concern?"
Without a seconds hesitation
Mr.. Blimp replied:
Exactly 40 years, one month
and two days, Mr.. Scratch. It
there-can I-you aren't think
ing Of"
Don't worry smiled the
president. you've been a
faithful employe. Rasputin
and you have nothing to worry
about. But I'd like to see you
in my office at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. Will that
be all right?"

Eyes, indeed, Mr.. Scratch"

WOMAN LAUNCHES
-.STUDY IN EPIDEMIC
DR.. Josephine Neal Says
Sleeping Sickness Is Mis-
nomer for Dread MaIady.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, September ll-Another
woman scientist was here today to aid
in the battle against sleeping sickness
which has taken total of lit victims.
She is DR.. Josephine Neal of New
York City Health Department, a
widely known authority on encephalitis.
It was a woman who made the first
important discovery in the st. Louis
epidemic-Dr. Margaret G. Smith.
Washington University pathologist.
She reported finding inclusion bodies"
in kidneys of victims which apparently
contained the virus responsible for the
infection.
Dr. Neal commented today on the
fact that disease here has most heavily
affected older persons. The mortality
rate in St. Louis is greatest among
these persons, while in previous cpl
denies studied, about half the deaths
were OF children under Is, she said.
First Summer Epidemic.
This is the first Summer epidemic of
eucephalitiS in this country, according
to DR.. Meals records.
The term sleeping sickness" is an
unfortunate one. she said, as in many
cases the disease does not cause the
afflicted person to sleep. Insomnia
may result instead, and there are many
other effects. The term encephalitis
would better be used in reference to
the malady, she pointed out.
She said she would return to New
York Wednesday after studying the
epidemic and obtaining samples OF
brain matter which will be used in
further study.
Sponsored by Victim.
DR.. Neal for the last six years has
been executive secretary Of a founda-
tion established by the late William
j. Matheson, New York. vice president
OF the Corn Products Refining Co.
Matheson suffered from sleeping
sickness, but recovered. In his will he
left s500,000 to be used in study Of
the disease
As st. Louis battled with the dread
and mysterious disease. st. Joseph,
smaller Missouri metropolis reported
encephalitis had reached epidemic pro-
portions there. Eight deaths have
been reported, IL have been pronounced
cured and others are confined at home
or in city isolation hospital.
