BY ARTHUR N. SUVEKKRUP
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 25.-Holly-
wood, from stars down to the
lowliest of extras, today took de-
cided issue with Adrienne Ames'
advice that "clinches" be banned
from movie 1ove-making.
Not only did the stars declare
that Miss Ames was wrong, but
they said that "clinches are here
to stay"
A consensus on the Paramount
lot, where Miss Ames formerly was
under contract, was that Glove
making could never be eliminated
from pictures.
Defend The "ClincheS"
Jimmy Dunno and Victor Jory,
two of the better known male
stars, were emphatic in defense OF
the "clinches." Jory'S only com.
plant was that in hos role OF
"heavy" he seldom gets a chance
to take part in a "clinch."
Dunno said:
"There was a clinch in a love
scene recently played with
Alice Faye and I didn't even
hear the director call cut. I am
unalterably opposed to elimina-

being back in circulation: the

Numerous "shorts" augment
the program and include Broad

back to film days of Gloria Swan

A charmingly entertaining pro-
gram which is heartily recon-
mended for that tired feeling.

"SiffIeur" Ends
Engagement
At Park

Tonight is your last chance to
hear and enjoy the major attrac-
ton with Dave McWilliams and
his band at Glen Echo Park. We
speak of Wilbur May, the Georgia
Cracker who has been such
sensation in the Spanish Garden
Ballroom all this week where he
is giving his whistling limitations
and mimicries of birds of every
description.
But the good times at Glen
Echo Park do not cease with
Mays engagement tonight. Dave
McWilliamS and his IL music
makers promise a full week of sur
prises beginning Monday night in
the Spanish Garden Ballroom.
And of course one never tires
Of taking in" all the rides and
dozens of fine entertaining
features which have been provided
at this recreation center deluxe.
You may visit Glen Echo every
week but yet, on your next visit
you will be sure to find some new
feature that has slipped your at
tention.
Crystal Pool is as inviting as
ever and the picnic groves are
lovely settings for family outings.

and even into the audience tap
ping his rhythms. A novel and
clever idea that utilizes every mo-
ment. The opening act is George
and Jack Dormonde on unicycles,
supplying a good bit of comedy
for a program that is scarce on
laughs. Audrey Seiber gets pref
tier and more assured with her
introductories as the weeks
pile up.
Freddy Clark's overture this
week counts heavily. It's popu-
lar melodies, with vocal refrains,
by Bert Ranoff. The real song
wallop is Love in Bloom" from
Bing Crosby's new picture, "She
Loves Me Not"
A few seasons back Director
Frank Tuttle sponsored a de-
lightful little light farce comedy.
"Her Wedding Night" 1t was
continental, madcap and subtle in
its humors and thoroughly So
phisticated.
Director Tuttle tried to get into
same mood with Ladies Should
Listen" The result, I regret to
report, is very sad. Where the
first one was smart this one is
just silly.
The actors didn't help it great
deal because such stories require
finesse and real comedy sense
to get the required results. In fea-
tured roles, Cary Grant. Frances
Drake. Edward Everett Horton,
George Barber, Nydia Westman,
and RoSita Moreno.
Charlie Ray is back on the
screen in the slight but important
role of a doorman. He shows more
than enough to be granted bet
ter opportunity to regain his Holly
wood place.
Short subjects include the
Grantland Rice sportlight, an Ell
Brendel comedy and the Para
mount news reel.

Seaside Enjoys
Busy Season

The various amusement conceS.
SionS at Seaside Park have en-
joyed their best season in years
and all are remaining open un-
til the resort closes.
The concessionaires have noted
a freer spending attitude on the
part of the public this summer
than in the past three or four
1ears, which may be regarded
as one sure sign of returning
prosperity. The new Seaside Pier,
built last spring and extending
directly to the heart of the park,
has added much to the conven-
ience of visitors and has gen.
orally improved the appearance
Of the resort. The Miniature
Railway that runs along the pier
has profited by the change and
has enjoyed the best patronage
in years. The half-mile ride over
the water is particularly enjoy
able on warm summer days.
The new Seaside restaurant
has been busy all season and
has become known far and wide
for it's excellent cuisine and good
service.
Because this has been an un-
usually hot summer, the salt
water swimming pool at Seaside
has been filled nearly every day
with bathers. Many summer cot
tagers along the bay shore as we'll
as excursionists prefer swimming
in the sterilized water of the
pool to risking the discomforts
of bay bathing.
Dancing is another Seaside at
traction which has enjoyed an
excellent season with Frank Flan-
nigan's fine orchestra winning a
large following.

Columbia Has
"Hondy Andy" d"

Will Rogers picture, Handy
Andy" returned to F Street and
the Columbia Theater yesterday.
Fairly glistening with purity, this
adaptation of Lewis Beach's play,
Merry Andrew" proudly bears
certificate No. 2, issued by the
newly operative Production Code
Administration of Motion Picture
Producers and Distributors of
America.
The picture is built along the
familiar lines of such former Rog-
erS' films as $50 This Is London"
and They Had to See Paris"
with Will as a Small-town drug
gist whose vapid, affected wife
forces him to sell out to chain
drug store operator, that the fam
ily's social position may be bet
tered and so that Will can do
some long-deferred playing"
Upon Rogers stopped and hu-
morous shoulders falls the burden
Of carrying the picture, for he re.
ceives virtually no assistance from
other members of the cast outside
of those that are furred and feath-
cred.
Except for the infantile Tarzan
episode, Rogers brings a mixture
of pathos and quiet humor to his
playing of the hapless Andy.
Peggy Wood, who appeared in one
almost prehistoric Rogers film in
1919, and later gave a memorable
performance in wonder of
Women" again tries her screen
luck as Andy's wife. The result
is unhappy, with Miss Wood OBJ
viouSly self-conscious and ill at
ease. Mary Carlisle plays the
daughter, and the cast includes
Robert Taylor, Paul Harvey,
Frank Melton and Roger Imhof.

makes of him an engaging clown,

Obviously, the role is to his liking

Gustave Dupont is a Self-styled
financial magnate" of more ideas
than scruples. Wallpaper stocks
are his specially and his little
schemes are so handled as to
leave his hands clear. Enter

ness, as detective. He, as well
as three of his friends, has fallen
victim to the lovely engraving on
the Duport certificates.
When the courts prove made
quate, the four decide to take
matters in their own hands.
Their course of action involves
kidnapping the wife of the fin
ancier and placing her ransom
at the figure they have lost at
her husbands hands. 1t in

guises for Howard, who finds it
necessary to be window-washer
and a doctor with chin-whiSkers.
Romance RudS
What the plotters have not
bargained for is romance between
the detective and their fair cap
tive. Things turn out all right
in the end, however, with the
villain foiled and the two prin-
cipals, bearing armloads of cur
rency, making a dinner date.
Helene Dupont, wife of the fin
ancial wizard, will be recognized
as Binnie Barnes, who played
Catherine Howard in Henry

by Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the
magnate himself. Also adorning

Metropolitan Comedy Feature
Stars Charlie RuqqIes

Dear old Charlie! They won't
let him hide behind his horn
trimmed specs" and be just a
timid soul. They must remember
the good old days when Holiday
was the ace Of sports, when ne
was the widest of the Yale Wild
cats and champion elbow bender
of the crowd.
Charlie has retired more and
more into himself, finding express
sion in his sometime violent edl-
torials; he is an editorial writer
on a conservative paper, and,
while he is not in agreement with
his publisher, he is a mild-natured
man who rewriteS his stories
rather than argue with his boss.
He has charming secretary, in
love with him, but trying to make
him assert himself; an old friend
of his college days drops into town
and expects to be shown the gayer
spots of the evening, and so the
little secretary has the time OF her
life with the suddenly gay Holli-
day, who boldly walks up to the
towns smartest nitery and pro-
claims himself Friend of Mr..
Sweeney" and gets in.
He dances, CANDLES, laughs
again and finds that he is not a
doddering old man yet and when
confronted with real danger as
he enters his office in the dead
of night he meets the situation
calmly; of course he finds that
his secretary Is beautiful as well
as efficient.

ing role, but his very force of per-
sonality takes the spotlight from
start to finish. Jackie Cooper is
Jimmy Hawkins, and he does an
admirable bit as the pal" to
Long, John, while Lionel Barry
more lends one of the most bril-
liant characterizations even he
has essayed, a marVelouSly per
feet performance.
Lewis Stone is the finished and
accomplished captain. A superb
cast assists in providing the
graphic and realistic background.
The American public is familiar
with the tale and the never-to-be-
forgotten, Fifteen men on a dead
mans chest" so it is necessary
only to remind that here is a
clean, an elaborate adventure film
enacted by as fine a selected
group Of players as could be Sc
cured.
A fascinating travel picture of
the "CitadelS of the Mediter-
ranean," a silly symphony and a
replete news reel by Hearst Metro

Attraction


at the Fox, passed through the
cleaners hands several times,
underwent many changes of titles
and has finally emerged trium-
phant under the name of "The
Girl From Missouri" sporting the
seal of the producers censor
board.
The wallop that characterized
"Red Dust" and other earlier Har-
low releases is missing from this
film, but, even though she re-
mains pure and undefiled through
out, you will find Jean entertain
ing. Also, in Girl From Mis-
souri," she shows herself, more
than at any other time. to pos
sess genuine acting ability as
well as allure of the most provo
cative sort.
Jean as "Eadie"
Eadie was a gal who deter
mined to marry a millionaire and
forget about love and that rub
bish. She meets likely pros
pect Gionel BarTymore) and pur
sues him relentlessly. Into the
scene enters his son (FranchOt
Tone), and promptly is bewitched
by the platinum lady from Mis-
souri,.
His father, realizing that Eadie
is altar and not money-conSclous,
frames her. The deception is
discovered, he is reconciled and
the wedding bells are ringing at
the finale.
Jean Harlow is called upon to
deliver some real mining as we'll
as comedy in her role, and does
both we'll. You will enjoy her
attempts to acquire Park Avenue
manners and Harvard accent, her
earnest attempts to catch Mr..
Barrymore and her will power at
not weakening before winning a
wedding ring.
Franchot Tone is an easy,
smooth leading man and does
equally as we'll with the comedy
scenes and the more serious ones.
Barrymore is his usual dependable
self as the nasty man who tried
to do wrong by our Eadie. Patsy
Kelly carries a lot of the laughs
as the girl-friend of Jean, who
likes sailors, doormen, life-guards
in fact, any man.
To sum it all up, Girl From
Missouri" is light, pleasant-to-
take fare, stock story dressed up
nattily and played well.
