It seems that for the first

the floor like q bath sponge.
The Tiger rushed him while he
was still in midair and slam
med him again, and back the
Marvel rebounded, his arms
appearing to be limpid and his
eyes somewhat CLASSY.
This went on until the two
hour limit had elapsed. Every
time the Tiger sent him spin
ming to the floor, the Marvel'S
muscles seemed to reflex and
he'd come to an upright posi-
ton long enough to be tackled
and hurled again.
But, aS the finishing gong
sounded and the Tiger desisted,
the Marvel became a crumpled
heap on the floor and the

In victory.
The Tiger was putting and

Attraction

When two good writer's get to-
gether and not only write a play
but pool their talents at produc-
ton they are bound by the law
of averages alone to turn out
something which will make even
the most indifferent playgoer sigh
a sigh of utter content and even
burst into a wild and embarrassed
round of applause for that some
thing unusual which ensueS.
You may gather from that first
paragraph that Crime Without
Passion" is entertaining, unique
and completely exhilaratirig.
Strangely enough, the exhilara-
ton comes not from the harsh
ness of the story unfolded, for 1t
is not a pretty story, but from the
manner of presentation. There are
those who will say that Claude
Rains overacts; whether he does
or not is more a matter of per-
sonal opinion for the role he es-
says is an exaggerated one, re-
quiring careful timing, thorough
knowledge of diction and coor1i-

character.

Adventure Film
AtCoIumbio

Pirate epic of hunted treas
ure, Robert Louis Stevenson's i'm
mortal tale Of Treasure Island"
inevitably comes to F Street for
a return engagement. Eagerly
awaited, this masterpiece of fic-
ton, superbly portrayed, is cur
rent at Loew's Columbia Theater.
Distinguished by a perfectly
selected cast, from the unsur-
passed Wallace Beery and re-
markably petent Jackie
Cooper down a long roster of the
best character actors, the adven-
turous story leaves nothing to be
desired. No other actor than
Beery could conceivably be
awarded the role of Long John
Silver, that ingratiating, good
hearted, hard-boiled brigand, ia
miliar to the entire English
speaking race.
Jackie Cooper, too, is assigned
a heavy role, which he performs
with a keen combination of adult
understanding and childish aban-
don. AS if these two were not
enough, the incompatible Lionel
Barrymore, especially in one
short scene, inserts one of the
finest bits of acting the cinema
has experienced.
Lewis Stone as a great de-
fender of the Union Jack" and
captain of a British ship, does a
finished bit of acting while Chic
Sale interprets old Ben Gum.
Little wonder then, that with
such accomplished artists at the
helm, "TheaSure Island" goes
down as one of the finest films.
Supplement features offer a
fascinating and romantic travel
picture of Catalonia and the fair
city of Barcelona and a combin-
alton comedy and harmony fest
with the Pickens Sisters and
Solly Ward. George Washing
ton football players going into
action especially interest local
fans, part of a diversified Para
