In my quest Of small houses
suitable for the average family
in size and price, I have trav-
elled far, and I can truthtully
say this one located in North
Woodbridge at 4005 goth is one
of the incest I have run across.
Entering into a living room,
you at once realize the many
possibilities for furnishing and
decorating. A fireplace adds
to the Colonial atmosphere OF
the house as well as the clever
little brass side fixtures.
French doors lead to a side
porch where You could relax
on pleasant days and overlook
the lovely well-kept gardens Of
your select neighbors; next
comes the dining room and
then a kitchen with innumer-
able cupboards and hide-away
places, all bright and gay in
colors of green and ivory; over
the one.piece sink was a win
dow. .one feature I am going
to have when I am lucky
enough to build my own home.
This first floor plan was unique
as off to the right was a
bedroom and tiled shower
bath, outstanding in it's black
and white contrast. Mount
ing the stairs I found two bed
rooms and another bath, as
we'll as an immense pack room,
which could, if needed, be
turned into another steering
room. All thru this house the
woodwork is beautiful and ex-
quisite craftman's skill has
been shown in the small de-
tails. A large dry concrete eel
lar containing a lavatory, wash
tubs and an excellent heating
plant completes this house
The purchase price is S9,25O.
$50 32ND s~ N. w.:
The family desiring a per-
manent home would do well
to invest heir mon"v in a
house such as the one I visited
today. Built along lines OF
modified English architecture,
its exterior was as easing as
the interior. Within the house
the very effective living room
has a fireplace and easement
windows, as well as concealed
radia Ion; a dining room with
ornate sidelights and a kitchen
that was very inviting con-
tanned innumerable cupboards,
a new range of the latest type;
and other interesting features.
A small room just off the front
door and a lavatory completed
the ground floor. Upstairs four
bedrooms and two baths, acces-
Sible from all four bedrooms.
The third floor or attic, had a
full-sized finished room that
would make an ideal storage
place or maids room. In the
basement, a laundry room. ad-
ditional storage space and an
automatic burner. Located in
fashionable Chevy Chase, this
house is most reasonable at
$11,75O and the owner will
consider accepting desirable
small rental property as part
payment.

Men in White Returns to Columbia
For Second Downtown Week

A moving, graphic story of the
heartbreakS that make up a physi-
clans career is Men in White, "
which has returned for another
downtown engagement at the Co.
lumbia.
Men in White" should be a
heavy contender for 1884 top
honorS when the votes are
counted. For not only does it
possess a gripping and realistic
theme, but forceful acting by the
cast furthers it's entertainment
value.
Clark Gable has the role of DR..
Ferguson, an aspiring young man
under the tutelage of one DR..
Hochberg. His fiancee, Myrna
Loy, is socially inclined and re-
sents the constant intrusion of his
work in their affairs.
After a quarrel, Ferguson be-
comes involved with a young
nurse. She is taken ill, operated
on with the other girl as a specta-
tor, and dies. The pair are recon
ciled, both sobered by the expert
ence.
Clark Gable attains new heights
in his portrayal of the doctor.

Bottoms Up offers John Boles
and Spencer Tracy for big names
on the marquee. Mr.. BoleS, cast
as Hollywood idol, is gayer than
usual and socks over "Waitin' at
the Gate for Katie" the song hit
of the musical which has some
quaint old fashioned pictorial
dressing to add to it's appeal. Mr..
Tracy is again the hard-boiled in
dividual with the heart of gold
and just a little painful in this
romantic sacrifice.
Wins High Rating
The story is one of those fanci-
full yarns which gets laughs by
proving Hollywood executives are
chumps. It goes on to show that
. 'ouple of clever rogueS can put
'er a hoax on Hollywood by
= ming off an unscrupulouS for
gel as a nobelman and a starv-
ing extra as his daughter. The
cinema city falls for the decep-
tion and soon these pseudo Eng
glish nobility are established as
people of Importance in the stu
dioS.
The girl becomes a featured
player and the crook, who is
clever with the pen. has consider
able amusement duplicating the
signatures of the California anoint-
ed. From time to time tunes
are congenially inserted and the
whole adds up as first class en-
tertainment.
Herbert Mundin, Thelma Todd,
Harry Green and Robert Emmett
OiConnor are excellent in support
ing roles and David Butte er sup
plies fine direction. If I were Fe-
viewing pictures by the star sys'

Gomez onMarines
Met Feature

When a bunch of Devil Dogs"
dress up in women's clothes and
go forth to battle a Filipino
bandit in Come On Marines" I"
that sequence strikes the keynote
of the film, which rates as a
funny, if not pretentious comedy.
AS a further attraction, Richard
Arlen plays a tough sergeant in
the picture, which opened yester-
day at the Metropolitan.
Perhaps the producers didn't
intend that Come On Marines"
should be a satire of those films
glorifying U. S. fighters, but it is.
At least for the greater part of the
footage, an highly humorous bur
lesque is unreeled It is only
when the action goes serious and
melodramatic that "Come On
Marines" fails to entertain.
Sharing honors with Arlen,
who. incidentally, is usually called
upon to play such uprighteous
gentlemen, is Roscoe Karns. AS
an ex-gob, forced to join the Ma
rines, his role is as outstanding
in the cast as the ''masher" in
1T Happened One Night"
The plot is not very involved.
The Marines go to the Philip
pines, are called upon to rescue
a shipwrecked party of children,
beSieged by bandits. Imagine
their surprise (and delight) when
it turns out that the 'kindergar-
ten" is really a bevy of debut
tantes from an exclusive school.
The company fights its way
back through the jungle, infested
with sharpshooting deSperadoes.
There are few tense moments,
and the romantic fadeout to end
a rowdy, but entertaining pic
ture.
Arlen plays his role with a
realistic, vigorous touch and does
much to offset the story'S Short
comings. Ida Lupino is the girl
who wins him, Grace Bradley the
one who doesn't and there are
many other lovely ladies who
cavort in a sylvan lake.
The supplementary bill has a

cutting; a musical feature with

Lenore Uric Due
In Pagan Lady
At BeIasco

Lenore Uric, for long one ot
theaterdom's outstanding per-
sonalities and the glamorous star
Of many past triumphs, will
grace the stage of the Shubert-
Belasco Theater, the week COM
mencing Monday evening, in
Pagan Lady" by william Du
Bois, a play which served as a
popular success for Miss Uric a
few seasons ago.
Miss Uric, whose triumphs in
such great hits as Lulu Belle"
"Kiki," "Tiger Rose" Nina"
''The Son Daughter" and several
others have made her an un-
forgettable figure on the stage,
is invested in this offering with
the type of role that comes well
within the scope of her acknoWl-
edged histrionic ability.
With its period set before the
days of repeal, the action Of
Pagan Lady" is centered in a
hotel on the east coast of Florida,
where rumrunning is a popular
diversion. There resides, in SEN
suous ease, one Dot Hunter and
Dingo Mike, bootlegger.
The peace of this small town
resort hotel is rudely interrupted
by the appearance of a deter
mined old pastor and his young
nephew, come to attend a church
convention. The latter, naturally,
due to his rigorous training for
the missionary field, has had
little to do with the opposite sex
and, during Dingo's absence, falls
an easy victim to the wileS of
the sensual temptress. The play
is concerned with the intense
conflict between those involved
that arises from this complica-
ton.
In Pagan Lady" Miss Ulric's
acting is said to reach a high
point of emotional interest, por-
traying the pagan woman with
consummate skill and conviction.
The star is supported by a group
of players that includes Gerald
Kent, Robert Loves, Charlotte
Anderson, Harry Worth, Richard
S. Bishop, John F. Morrissey and
Arthur Mack. The play has been
directed by Frank Mccoy.

the Warner Bros. constellation

The story of "2O Million
Sweethearts," written by Jerry
Wald, a former radio editor,
jibes at the broadcasters who
pick their loud speaker stars be-
cause the sponsors women folks
like 'em and has many other in
side touches that those familiar
with network activities will ap-
preciate.
Ginger Rogers does nice work
as PoWell'S sweetheart, who helps
him to the top, and Alan Jenkins,
as a sour old crouch who tells
children Pollyanna stories, pro.
vides another satirical touch.
Grant Mitchell, Joe Cawthorn,
Johnny Arthur and Henry O'Neill

Comedy Of Radio
Life Feature
At Earle

Dick Powell comes to the
threshold of Stardom in go Mil
lion SweetheartS," a screen mu-
sical that has quite a bit OF fun
with radio and introduces some
humable tunes in between times.
The current feature at the
Earle offers Mr.. Powell as a radio
headliner who was built up into
network eminence by a Dragging
talent scout who discovered him
working as a beer hall minstrel.
Pat O'Brien plays the part Of
the radio Columbus, a braSh and
irrepressible mortal who is as
fresh as the screen Lee Tracy
and noisier than Joe E. Brown.
Towards the end Mr.. O'Brien
has become slightly irritating to
both the audience and his screen
companions so that a healthy
punch in the jaw registers as a
pleasing sequence.
Powell AS Star
Dick Powell's best song is "1'll
String Along With You," although
those who fancy Man on the
Flying Trapeze" are well served
with a double portion. Outside
of a tendency to mug a little too
much, the rising young star OF

them beautifully; Ralph Bellamy,

male principals.
An added feature is an almost
hysterical plea for concerted, pa
triotic effort, Scripted by Gilbert
Seldes and voiced by Alois Hav-
rilla, picturing the ups and downs
of our nation and its people in
the past 20 years; graphic de-

THE Pursuit of Happiness" is
designed to leave you in mellow

the understandable and jolly
idiom of living and very human
beings.

Domestic drama, smartly ap.
parelled, quite modern in lines,
becomes a delightful adventure
with the unfolding of TThis Man

in which a wife battles wits with
the first woman in her husbands
life.
The wife is a beautiful, tai
ented woman who learned early
in life that love is worth the
effort needed to keep it alive.
temptation in the form of some
clever echo from the past might
disrupt the sublime scheme of
her little world, but since she
would not think anything of
patiently nursing her husband
through any other plague, she
must find a way around this
threatened disaster.
Life is very beautiful; how
ever, this paradise, much too
much like the famed Eden of
the clever song-writers, is in
vaded by a designing woman who
has a yen for husbands, this one
in particular since it was he
whom she left standing at the
church waiting those few years
ago. She specializes in the sadly
disilluSioned type of act which
makes a great hit with the men;
