GLAMOUR IS NOW PLAYING
 AT COLISEUM
Paul Lukas and Constance Cummings Have Leads in
 Fascinating Dram a

One little known theory as to the best means by which woman may acquire a glamorous personal ity is expounded in Glamour Uni versal's drama based on the eter- nal triangle" which opened yester- day at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Constance Cummings and Paul Lukas play featured roles in this absorbing screenplay, while Phillip Reed is seen at the other point of the love triangle which develops, completely changing the lives of all the people concerned.
 AS the story opens Miss Cum mings, a chorus girl, worms herself into the affections of Lukas, com poser of uniformly successful mu- sical plays, and the song writer eventually devotes all his talents to the advancement of the girl, bring ing about her elevation to stardom in his plays. Finally the two are married, and the young wife be- comes the reigning success of the New York stage, happily wed to the man of her heart. At length, however, Reed is engaged as her leading man, and soon afterward the two fall in love with each oth- CT with the broken hearted hus- band pretending indifference in order to preserve his wife's happi- ness. Reed and Miss Cummings go to London together and are mar ried, and it is now the wife who subordinates herself to further the success of her mate.
 But the final sequence of the picture bring about a series of dramatic events which shed new light on this age-old situation. The screenplay is based on one of the most popular stories of the fa- nous authoress, Edna Ferber.

JOA N BLONDELL
 HAS GOOD ROLE IN UPTOWN PLAY
Splendid Cast Takes Part in Metropolitan Film,
 Big City Blues''

Some idea of the magnitude of Big City Blues," the Warner Bros. production, now starring Joan Blon- dell at the Uptown theatre, may be gained from the fact that its cast list includes no less than seven of the studios featured contract players, and seven more headliners borrowed from other studios.
 Joan Blondell heads the cast, while Evalyn Knapp also has an important role. Three new actress es, recently taken to Hollywood from New York successes, make their first screen appearance at this time, although they are also working separately in other pro- ductions. They are Gloria Shea, Betty Gillette and Sheila Terry names to bear in mind. They may be among the stars of the future. Guy Kibbee and Lyle Talbot com plete the list of contract artists.
 Playing opposite Miss Blondell in the sensational drama of life on Broadway is youthful Eric Lin den, whose work in "The Crowd Roars" and Are These Our Chil- dren?" will live long in the mem ories of theatre-goers. Josephine Dunn and Inez Courtney are among their party playmates. and such personages as that famous comedienne, Jobyna Rowland, Wal ter Catlett, Grant Mitchell and Humphrey Bogart complete the featured cast list that still has many others almost equally well known in smaller supporting roles.
 Mervyn LeRoy, noted for Little Caesar Five Star Final" and Two Seconds" directed The story was by Ward Morehouse.

ID j, MEXICO
POLO c AM {
ON TODAY

The second game of the inter-
national polo series between the
U. S. Army team and the Mexican
army team, originally scheduled
for Sunday, will be played today
in West Potomac Park at 4 p. m.
The first match, which ended
an 11-6 victory for the U. S. Army
team, was received enthusiastically
by washington sport lovers
who, for the first time, witnessed
high goal polo in the District of
Columbia. Interest in the match
at no time Jagged and keen inter-
est was displayed until the refer
ee's whistle ended the final chukker
of the match.
The comparative strength Of
the two teams, as viewed by the
spectators of the opening match,
showed advantage to the Ameri-
can team, but General Limon,
president of the Mexican Polo
Federation, who is in Washington
with the Mexican army team, has
stated that he thought the advant-
age the Americans had in the
first game was due to the excite
ment of the Mexican players be-
cause of their Latin temperament
and consequent nervousness at
the opening game. In addition,
the slow, Soggy field handicapped
the Mexican ponies which, in
their native land, are accustomed
to hard, dry playing fields.
