new YORK CITY
Captured BY
$4,000 SAILORS
Fun Seeking Gobs Swarm
Streets After Huge
Naval Review.
Bv United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, June Thirty
thousand carefree sailors, the rigors
of strenuous war maneuverS and the
tenseneSs of a review for the PreSi-
dent over, swarmed over New York
today, taking their fun where they
found it.
From battleships, cruisers and
destroyers they poured ashore last
night as fast as they could obtain
leave after the big battle wagons
dropped anchor in the Hudson.
Shortly after nightfall the sailors
had taken" Riverside park. From
Sixtieth street northword to the
George Washington bridge the
snappy blue uniforms and the perk
white sailor hats were everywhere.
Those looking for romance found
it. Wives and sweethearts were on
hand to greet some, but for the
others there were plenty of girls who
seemed to like the staggering sea-
men.
CWA Artist Upheld
Judging from cursory glimpse
of the park, it appeared that the
CWA artist who recently sketched
1.-The Fleets In" and invoked the
wrath of high navy officials, knew
just a little something about sailors.
Officials protested the drawing was
not representative of seamanly
dignity.
The sailors enthusiasm for land
after the long and tedious voyage
from the west coast met reSpon-
sive chord in the metropolis. The
spirit of the New York of old, of
the boom days when it showered
upon returning heroes worldfa-
nous welcome, apparently has been
slumbering through the depression
and needed for it's reawakening only
the words "the fleets in
A million strong, New Workers
turned out yesterday to see the
magnificent Splendor of the armada
passing in review before President
Roosevelt, catapult scores of fight
ing planes into the air for daring
maneuvers and formation flying,
and then steam gracefully up the
harbor at shutdown.
Roosevelt Is Pleased
President Roosevelt, who holds a
secret pride for the navy, gave a
benediction of well DONE" When
he returned to his home after an
eventful day and departed last night
for Groton, Mass, he was beaming
with pleasure at the strength dis
played by the first line of defense
and the corps of pursuit planes
nestled within it.
A busy program of receptions,
parties and balls were scheduled for
the fleet for the next six weeks. One
Of the. most brilliant was to be held
tonight, ball at the Waldorf AS
toria. Officers will be in full dress
uniforms of plumed hats and
braided coats.
All the ships of the fleet will be
open for inspection. Parked in
regular rows along the eastern bank,
they were expected to be visited by
thousands before they sail June Is.

Debuts on Screen

HOLLYWOOD, May 4.-There's
story behind the movie debut Of
Mary Jane Moore, Gotham debu-
tante, whose papa is chairman Of
the Butterick publications.
When the young socialite was
going to Miss BENEFITS School in
New Jersey, she and Betty Fur
ness, now of the films, made a
VOW never to get married without
the other acting as maid Of honor.
Several weeks ago, Betty was
given q script Of "The Life Of Yer
gle winters" and discovered that
she was due to become q bride in
the picture. Though it was only
make-believe, she wired her churn,
who came to California and
played maid of honor when Betty

To Marry or Not,

HOLLYWOOD, May 4-Et b IN
teresting to note that, With but
two or three exceptions, film
dom'S top-ranking players are lln'
married-or practically so. Those
who have flung the gauntlet in
the face of Fate, and married,
soon discovered that 1t Is best to
keep friend wife or husband at a
safe distance.
Any authentic list Of screen
greats must include the follow.
ing names: Mae West, Greta
Carlo, Marie Dressler, Joan
Crawford, Janet Gaynor, Lillian
Harvey, Sylvia Sydney, Miriam
Hopkins. Margaret Sullivan, Jack
Oakie, Franchot Tone, Douglas
Fairbanks jr. and Francis LIE"
derer. All are single.
In almost every case the above
listed stars will state positively
that marriage has no part in the
life Of an extremely busy and am.
bilious movie person. Leaving
levity behind for the moment.
Mae West defends Hollywood
spinsters for the benefit of those
who think something must be
wrong with the film players.
Mae asks: "HOw Is it possible
to serve two masters, the screen
and your husband? 1t is like
having two boy friends. The
trouble starts when you give
one little more attention than
the other"
There is no such thing as a
happy marriage for the actor who
is trying to build himself toward
q successful career!
Despite popular belief and Pol
lyanniSh statements, careers do
not go hand-in-hand with happy
marriages.
These are a few declarations
made in an interview on the
RKO-Radio lot today by Sidney
Blackmer.
Blackmer holds:
Marriage does definitely IN
terfere with the careers of
players who are striving toward
the top rung in the ladder of
success,
Blackmer said:
"There are some exceptions,
of course, as in the case of
Lynn FOntanne and Alfred
Lunt, or in the case of Mr..
and Mrs. George ArliSs, Sothern
and MarlOwe, and others who
have definitely arrived, and
whose careers run parallel-but
in most cases they are two
strong forces, pulling in opposite
directions"
When asked about his blasted
romance with the famous star,
Lenore Uric, Blackmer stated:
81 am not referring to my
own experiences, although per
hapS could"
Sylvia Sidney has escaped mar
riage and will continue to do so

PARISIAN PAYMENT
 MOTIF OF DISPLAY
McCaII's Fashion Show at HOwland-Hughes lntrO-
 duCeS COlOrful Styles

Most women yearn for Paris clothes because they are individ- ually created to fit the coloring, the figure type and the fashion per- sonality of the wearer. This same principle is the secret of the Mo- Call Paris Fashion Show which is to be given for the last time Fri day afternoon at Rowland Hughes. Forty or more costumes will make up this showing, each developed in a leading 1894 fabric, and each a Mccall reproduction of a Paris fashion. According to Miss Mildred Hanley, Mccall stylist, who is con- ducting the showing, the woman of today can achieve true individ- uality in dress by making her own clothes. She also calls attention to the fact that any costume display ed in this show, can be duplicated by the home sewer, in fabric, color and design, for considerably less than it would cost to buy a similar outfit.
 Since color is one of the impor- tant items in the 1894 mode, one is not surprised to see it stressed as an important factor in this fashion review. There are costumes in vivid shades, others in cool pas- tels, still others in the ever-im- portant white. Cottons, silks, linens, and synthetic fiber fabrics are all represented in the showing-many of them in new stripes, plaids, and checks. There isn't a single ques- ton on new lines, colors or fabrics that isn't answered. for you in this review. The last showing is to be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 on the fourth floor of Rowland Hughes,

Don Marquis Genius
 Seen In "Dark Hours"
Philosophers Intellect Best Exemplifed in Play to Be
 Presented By Catholic Actors Guild Next Week

The genius of Don Marquis Is best exemplifed in "The Dark Hours"
 The play "The Dark Hours" which will be presented by the Catholic Actors Guild at the Strand theater March 22, is an achievement of Americas most versatile writer. Don Marquis is a philosopher, satirist, poet, critic, novelist and playwright. In a whimsical mood, he printed some years ago in his column "The Lan- tern," 8 four line poem as follows:
 Nothing To It T do not write in verse or prose I merely lay out words in rows The household words that Webster
 penned
 I merely lay thcm end to end.
 An interested contributor re- piled:
 You take the words that Webster
 penned.
 You merely lay them end to end. But as they shuttle in the dark Word touched word and throws a
 spark.
 And blind words flash, and glow
 and glint
 As when cold steel hobnobs with
 flint.
 You lay out words as dark as night. They knock their heads and there
 is light!
 Yes, end to end, like dominoes You lay the syllables in rows. You mix those words into a swarm. They kiss and hiss and they get
 warm.
 They weave. they glow, they flash
 in flame,
 And you, not Webster, are to blame.
 Dialogue Samples
 Don Marquis genius for superb epigram, his mastery of the grand style is at it's height in "The Dark Hours" Perhaps some idea of the beauty and strength of this drama may be obtained from a few samples of the dialogue taken at random from different scenes.
 .... if thou healest me first, then will I have faith, indeed, that thou cans't heal me. A kiss. .. the sign shall be 8 kiss?. Aye. For his sop, I pay him with a kiss! ... Master, is it thy will. then, to stand alone, and to suffer alone? ..upon the Law was Israel founded, and by the Law must Israel live.

And I saw one in my dream who had gone down into death. .and through the thick night our glances leap and touch. thou sayest l am a king. By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down.... back to thee to judge as an enemy of Caesars. .. Woe unto him that dare blaspheme against the Giver of the Law, Jehovah!!. !.... wouIds't thou not hate the man whose eyes ever pierced thee through and through. We who are Romans and patricians must not let ourselves be too much moved by the superstitions of a conquered people.
 Alan Wallace Directing
 The first scene of "The Dark Hours" is in the house of Caiaphas on the evening before the cruci- fixion of Jesus. The second scene is two hours later in the Garden of Gethsemane, the third is in the house of Caiaphas before midnight and on the morning of the same night, the, fourth scene is at the palace of Pilate, the Roman gov ernor of Judea early in the morn- ing, the fifth scene is at Golgotha.
 The play which is to be staged under the direction of Alan Wal lace, director of the Civic Theater, is In the final stages of rehearsal. The cast includes over forty peo- pie. It Is felt that this extraordi- nary play will be by far the best that the Catholic Actors Guild has vet attennted
