FIRST LADY SEES
j. U.S.|MPR0VEMENT s.
A MussoIini Impossible in
Democracy, Declares
Mrs. Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, conf
dent that America Is one-third back
to normal prosperity-"we're on our
ways sure almost at the end of
her first year in the White House
that you can't be Mussolini in a
democracy"
She said yesterday she still thinks
people are SWELL the word she used
several months ago to describe her
contacts with her fellow countrymen.
Holds Press Conference.
She planned a busy week, some Of
1t in New York, but promised to re-
turn to the White House bright and
early" Sunday morning in order to
attend an afternoon service at WASH
tngton Cathedral and a dinner in the
evening at which the cabinet will be
hosts to the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt.
At her regular press conference to-
day, the last before the March an
niversary of the Roosevelt admins
tration's first year, she conceded that
it is Impossible to make State func-
tions informal" but added that pri-
vate life could be carried on just the
same at the White House as elsewhere.
Asked to comment an recent re-
mark Of White House attache that
all Presidents wives eventually lose
the informality Of calling their hus-
bands by their first names and refer
to them as "the President" Mrs.
Roosevelt laughed.
Year Seemed Longer.
"When say the President it's for
fun!" she said. whether I call him
that or not depends on what I'm
going to take up with him.
Then she sobered and said:
In some ways, I feel as though
we had lived through very much more
than an ordinary year. because of the
great variety Of subjects that have
had 10 interest every citizen in the
country
"I feel every citizen must feel the
same way. The thing that makes life
interesting is the fact that out of
everything one does new doors and
new points Of view are constantly
opening up."

A further item of interest about the
imminent filming Of 1.-The Barretts"
is that Charles Laughton will be

in some kind of midnight air, Is
one of those bombshells of melodrama
which send audiences home on foggy
night full of chills and fever. No
word has come who will do the Brian
Ahern role. That, too, should be
difficult casting.
HERE is something which has
caused us much debate. Who
knows of a comedy that has about 10
characters, preferably women" which
the Falls Church Volunteer Fire De-
partment can stage? Robert w. How
ard has written us concerning this
matter, and we can think of nothing
short Of q Charles Aunt" If any
one can help Mr.. Howard out. we
should be much obliged. Herewith
the full text of the appeal:
MY dear Mr.. Melcher: Will you
be kind enough to tell me where
might find a play of this type: A
comedy, with, say 10 characters, pre-
ferably women, that will run for about
two hours?
Last year the department put on
a minstrel show with very flattering
results, but I do not think that q
minstrel will bear repeating so
soon, for the punch of a minstrel
show, in a small town, Is in the gags
on the local big shots and we are
short of gags
Now the members Of the depart
ment who will take part in the show
are guys what gets up in the middle
of the night, rain or shine, snow or
blow, ride miles out into the country,
and fight somebody else's fire, for
nothin'-and they like their jokes to
have a punch in them rough and
tumble. So, my reason for asking for
a play that has all women characters
is to cast these fire. eaters in skirts
and bustles so that their friends will
come out to see them as fair ladies,
either gentle or sweet ladies, or breezy,
gossiping old shrews, 'er sumthin'.
You know, a role that Is entirely diff
ferent from their everyday life.
Il went to the Public Library and
talked with Miss Wright and she let
me look through the Baker and
French catalogues that she had, but
the only thing I could find that
seemed to be near what I had in
mind, were the three plays 'Corney

JEAN HARLOW HALTS
BERN ESTATE SUIT
California Superior Court Upholds
Demurrer to Action by Sac.
ramento County.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, February 27.-The
Superior Court yesterday upheld on
technical grounds a demurrer filed by
Jean Harlow, film actress, to q suit
seeking one-half the estate Of Paul
Bern, her self-slain former husband.
The suit, temporarily blocked by
the courts action. was brought by
Sacramento County's public admins
traitor, who contended the county
should receive the share Of Bern's
property claimed for the estate Of
Dorothy Millette. Miss Millette, de-
scribed in the suit as Bern's common
law wife, ended her life shortly after
Bern committed suicide September S,
1882. She left no heirs.
In sustaining Miss Harlow's de-
murrer on the ground that there was
insufficient evidence to establish q
case and that Miss Harlow had been
sued as an individual and not as an
executor Of the Bern estate, the court
granted the plaintiff 10 days to
amend the complaint. After that
time it will determine whether the
suit can be brought to trial.

TREASURE ISLAND
 TOPS POLI'S BILL
Cooper and Beery, Stars of "The Champ To-
 gether Again

Wallace Beery. and Jackie l Cooper again reunited as screen ! team, this alone is enough to bring multitudes to the Poli theater for the next days while their latest | pictufe Treasure Island is being | shown there as it did in the past when they were seen in "The
 Champ and "The Bowery." | But when you add to this fact | the further announcement that the novel from which this picture is taken was and is still the inn mortal classic of the English lan- guage, written by Robert Louis l Stevenson, then there is no doubt about the caliber of the attraction, then for further emphasis add the fact that an all star cast headed by Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, Dorothy PeterNon and "Chic" Sales along with thousands of others are in the film and there is no doubt that Polls will have the years outstanding entertain ment value for Waterburians for the next days.
 There is powerful heart appeal in this picture of the man and the boy, as Long John Silver, fero- cious sea raider Beery is chosen as a friend by young Cooper DOT traying Jim Hawkins, youthful adventurer, and their experience 5 together during the search for treasure are packed with thrills and pathos that bring gasps, tears and many laughs to everyone in the theater just as they did in their former pictures.
 Treasure Island" is not chill dren's picture, it has been read by over 5,000,000 readers and all have thrilled to it. The screen ver- sion elaborates wherever possible on the book and outside of that every detail of the novel has been faithfully transferred to the screen.
 Miss this picture and you have missed one of the literary and screen masterpieces, which you cannot in fairness do to yourself.
 In addition to the feature there will also be the usual carefully se- lected program of short subjects that have come to be known as a Poli feature, every week in addi- tion to the feature pictures there is presented the pick of short sub iects, a policy which has proven very popular with patrones.

 Six other persons are also sus- pected of the crime because she is pected, including Robert Barrat, owner of the estate, his mother who advances the dragon theory. a part played by Helen Lowell, Dorothy Tree George E. Stone, William Davidson, guests and Arthur Aylesworth who plays the role of the butler.
 Others in the cast include George Meeker. the first to fall a victim of murder, and Robert Warwick as the family physician.

 GARDEN SUNDAY
"The Man From Heavens Edges" Listed as Addi=
 ti0nal Feature

"Men in White,' which opens tom orrow, at the Garden theater, brings not only a romantic new emotional team to the screen, but also one of the most dramatic stories ever filmed.
 Stark, Human Drama
 Clark Gable and Myrna Loy are teamed, for the first time in screen history, in the leading roles. He is a doctor, in love with his pro- fession, but also in love with an heiress-an heiress who can't un- derstand the inhuman demands of his profession,
 Supporting Players
 Otto Kruger as a thwarted, dis illusioned medico: Wallace Ford as frolicking, wise cracking in- terne; Henry E. Walthall as an eminent surgeon, Russell Hardie and Russell Hopton as swift mov- ing ambulance riders-all weave a secondary web of drama around the main plot, each excellent in his part.
 The companion feature is "The Man From Heavens Edges.
 The story builds up to a show down between Bob Steele, in the role of "Flash" Manning and Julian Rivero as "Lobo," both of whom are famous for gun-play.
 Also Chapter of Lost Jungle Serial".
