Return Of Terror

Attraction

Twas a dark and stormy night!
The wind was bowling and the
shutters banging against the side
of the lonely house on the south
road, made an eerie sound! What
a night for a murder!
1.-The Return Of the Terror"
from the pen Of the late Edgar
Wallace, past master Of the art
of thrilling, is 100 per cent pure
fare for the chill and shudder
enthusiast.
This is the story Of a famous
physician and scientist, called be-
fore a court Of justice to explain
some Of the sudden deaths in his
private Sanitarium; the odds
against him, his attorney pleads
insanity and the doctor is placed
in the State asylum, while his
business affairs are carried on by
his young associate, DR.. Good
man.
The night Of the storm, word
comes that the doctor has eS-
capped from the asylum; a cold
shivver runs up and down the
old spine, as doors begin to open
silently, shadows creep about
armed with knives, screams Of
the women patients vieing with
the shrill voice Of the wind;
these are only the off-stage ef-
fectS which lead to the dropping
of bodies from hall doorways and
the opening of flooded trapdoorS
by invisible hands.
With morning and the sun shin.

It is nice to know that West

ence on the cinema. When the
Filtration Walk" company To-
cationed there they discovered
that the cadets were not al
lowed to swear or use slang at
any time. So, as substitute, if
! they wish to call you anything,
they give you the once over and
vehemently say you are a "tally-

returned, everybody is being called
a "tally-ho'' and half the time
they don't know whether they
are being insulted to their faces
or being invited to go out and
hunt the fox. Too confusing.

Weekend Brines
Seaside Crowd

With the promise Of "fair and
warmer" weather, Seaside Park
this weekend should again prove
the mecca for thousands Of swell
tering city folk.
The popular baySide resort has
been enjoying an unbroken sue
cession Of perfect week-endS since
early in the season and has no
fault to find with the weather
man.
Dancing at Seaside is delightful
during the hottest summer days.
Cool breezes sweep through the
SpeciouS baySide ballroom while
Frank Flanigan's SouthernerS
play the kind of music that makes
dancers blissfully unmindful Of
anything SO prosaic as tn e
weather.
Weekday visitors to Seaside have
found that there is no catch" in
the offer of free dancing on Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday eve
nings.
Free dancing during the week
has not served to lessen the at
tendance at the weekend dances.
Saturdays and Sundays Seaside is
still the mecca for dance devoteeS,
with the full Flanagan orchestra
playing the zippy kind of music
that, is so popular at the beach.

BartheImess Stars
In Runyon Tale
At Earle

Damon Runyon has filled Mid
night Alibi," current Earle screen
attraction, with hokum right up
to the eyeballS. For those who de-
mand realism in their film fare,
the picture will be disappointing.
But most of us like to be fooled,
so Richard Barthelmess' new
movie vehicle will provide enter
tainment for SO out Of 100.
In Midnight Alibi," more so
than in Lady for a Day" and
Little Miss Marker" Author Run
yon'S characters are synthetic.
Which is the reason it will never
earn the praise laviShed on those
other two tales.
RunyOn Story
BarthelmeSs plays a gangSter,
in love with the sister of a rival.
While fleeing from the other mob,
he happens into an old-fashioned
home Of a sweet old lady. She,
for some reason, tells him Of her
unhappy younger life and inspires
him to "go straight" and not turn
from his determination to marry.
Later, when he is tried for mur-
der, she furnishes his alibi, and
true love triumphs.
The direction Of the film is
Spotty and -jumpy, leaving the
characters undeveloped entirely.
Still, it is we'll played, and for
that reason will give you an hours
enjoyment Of life through rose,
colored glasses.
In addition to BarthelmeSs, who
is better than ne has been in a
long time, chief honors go to
Helen Lowell, as the recluSe. This
finished stage actress lends dig
nifty and power to the story. Ann
Dvorak is the sweetheart and
Helen Chandler has a brief role
in a short "flash-back" sequence.
Every act on the stage bill this
week is a familiar one, with the
possible exception Of the -Four
Cards, acrobatic quartet which
opens the program. It is to be re-
gretted that out Of the four re,
naming, only one, Hal Leroy,
has, in this reviewers memory,
changed their offering.

Cryst tai Pool Is
Swim Mecca

"Thar's health in them thar

Echo Park. Swimming is one of
natures finest rejuvenators for
jaded systems. Particularly is
that so when the water is just

pure, crystal clear and sparkling,
and surrounding decks and sand
beach are Immediately clean.
After a tedious day in home,
office or shop. a dip in Crystal
Pool, a rollicking good time on
the sand beach adjacent and
you are oil ready for another
stretch Of work, feeling "fit as a
fiddle and ready to CO."
Crystal Pool has earned we'll
deserved commendation from the
Maryland State Health authori-
ties for the manner in which it
is operated and the conditions of
the water. Through hourly tests
by the park physician and daily
tests by Carl A. Hechmer, sani-
tary engineer of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
in charge of water distribution
and by a State chemist, the pa
irons of Crystal Pool are assured
Of the very finest in 100 per cent

ties.

TaIuiah fSankhea0 prleSCeSS OF So
phistication in any language.
The following bit of informa-
tion should make June Vlasek
very happy: Winfield Sheehan, be-
fore sailing away for a European
spa, told friends at a luncheon
party that he expects Miss Vlasek,
whom he has under contract, to
be the current sensation of this
coming fiscal year. Up to this very
moment when she has been cast
in a too swell part, she has just
been used in "bitS" and extra work
to prepare her for her big debut
before we, the innocent public.

chic, because every time male
or a female of the cinema is seen
with the same escort more than
twice, loving friends always try to
ring wedding bells for them, but

fore Hollywood'S most eligible
bachelor q mean since he got his
divorce) methinking the altar Will
find him soon doing a twosome
with Mary Dean OVERLY, twice
before married little woman, who
has known Lyle ever since he was
an Oklahoma stock company S
leading theSpian.
Fancy such bedlam when into
our midst suddenly arrived a
travelling troupe of twenty New
York millionaire's sons en- route
here, there and everywhere for a
luxurious "See-all'' of the Europes,
Americas and points north. Ma:
turely, since the depression and
the shortage of the rich, every un,
attached belle of the cinema put
on their best bib and tucker (to
say nothing of face) and cast out
their lines (literally). But fancy
their amazement when the only
star the midas juniors expressed a
desire to see was Pat O'Brlen OF
the Brethren Warmers.
Sartorial notes: Nils Asther Is
completely amazing the industry
by speeding up and down the
boulevard in his open model car,
done up in a white hat, which
is vaguely reminiscent of a beach
umbrella, a leghorn or a tent;
use your own judgment. The ef-
feet of Mr.. Asther and his
chapeau floating along in the
breeze, gives the casual byStandet

ion hounds will do nothing about
copying, but will stick to their

Damon Runyon yarn, has Jimmy
Dunn as an ex-convict trying to

wife and Shirley their child. He
becomes mixed up in a robbery
and it remains for the little girl
to rescue him. The climax is
probably the best bit of the pic
ture, when the real criminal uses
her as a shield in a roof-top gun
battle.

sequence, obviously grated on,

Sunset Cruise Is
Wilson Feature

The Sunset Cruise" down the
Potomac River is rapidly becom'
ing one Of the most popular Of
Wilson Line trips. On this trip
the S. S. City Of Washington
leaves her pier at Seventh Street
WharveS at $50 p. M, and re.
turns at 8 p. M, stopping at
Marshall Hall Park only long
enough to discharge and load
passengers.
Many office workers are find
ing pleasure taking a picnic sup
per to Marshall Hall Park on the
$50 boat and returning on the
moonlight trip, leaving Marshall
Hall Park at 1926 p. m.
This Sunset Cruise" as the
name indicates, affords pas,
sengers an opportunity to enjoy
the beautiful sunsets over the
Potomac. This cruise, because
of its quiet restfulness, is especial
ly attractive to those who have
spent hot, tiresome day in the
office.
