NEA Service Sports Writer The only defense for the smash shot is the block. This defensive action is made by holding the paddle in front of the oncoming ball and not trying to return it with 8 swing of the arm. The paddle is held station ary, and the momentum of the opponents smash is relied on to carry the ball back across the net. AERE IS THE WAY THE BLOCK SHOT

.JACK COOPER
FORCEFUE IN
LONE COWBOY
Alun,r,us of Boys
Film, School
Improved.

JACKIE COOPER continues to JUS
tify the motion picture policy which
has lifted him from the distinctly
humorous atmosphere of the gang
pictures and has planted him in the
ranks of the stars. AS an alumnus
of the juvenile school of actors, in
which he was shining figure, he
carries all the attentions which are
expected by the young graduate.
The Lone Cowboy" which IS
shown at the Columbia Theater, is
not the first picture in which the
boys emotional talents have been
utilized, but it represents what might
be called his initial recovery from the
excitement of plunge into tho major
motion picture field.
Young Cooper has the advantage
over other young stars in the wide
acquaintance he has made over a
period of years. and to the theater-
goers OF the country he represents q
definite personal quality, which is
stamped with approval. His play is
written, apparently, with the purpose
of exploiting his emotional ability;
and in its development he is assisted
by two men Of acting ability in John
Wray and Addison Richards, with
Lila Lee in an incidental role.
The boy is represented as more or
less detached, because his father sends
him to a Western ranch and later
takes his own life, while the boy finds
an almost paternAl friend IN the cow.
boy who has suffered the misfortune
of desertion by a stolen bride. There
is a tragedy, and young Cooper is
wounded, when the rivals meet in
the presence of the woman. and sub
sequent companionship is filled with
action and sentiment.
The production has the interest of
the big ranch community, and one Of
the features is the riding at rodeo
exhibition
The Columbia also offers the usual
assortment of short films. D. c. c.

GEORGE RAFT
In @BOLERO"
IMPRESSIVE
Picturesque Film Is
Matched by Stage
ShO,U at Earle.

QUALITY that attaches to theme
song which already has made
permanent impression upon the mu-
sical taste of the world, even to ap-
probation In a symphony audience, Is
the nucleus Of the great charm which
is to be found in ''Bolero," at the Earle
Theater, which stars George Raft in
his most striking role and gives places
to Carole Lombard, Frances Drake
and Sally Rand. This trio Of graceful
associates for the star is favored with
q temporary interest In the appear
ance Of Miss Rand in a motion pic
ture. Mr. Rats contribution through
out has the eaTrlarkS OF a real cancer,
In this screen presentation of "Bo-
lero'' he differs from practically all
other actors who engage in technical
work, in that he has personal know
ledge of dance technique and In the
spectacular climax Of the play is able
to Join with his acting talents very
beautifully executed performance OF
the famous piece of music.
The play is of the class that in
spires the imagination, and 1t has
been provided with all the adjuncts of
beauty that 1t requires for the meeting
of popular expectations in the aver
age audience. All three of the women
who share in the romantic and mu-
sical incidents are we'll chosen for the
task and harmonic effectively in the
plot.
Uniformly strong and appealing Is
the stage program for the week at
the Earle. Mildred Bailey and her
three rhythm associates sing with
their accustomed force and any audi
ence that might be assembled would
continue to demand their songs as
long as the management OF the house
would permit them to hold their place
on the program. Other acts on the
list are SO good that it would be ex-
tremely difficult to range them in
order. Ben Blue, comedy personified,
has with him an unusually strong
group of nitwits, with not a vestige
Of intelligence. which, of course, Is
the aim of the chief. Their act is a
riot. Earl Lavere and Jimmy O'Brien,
with Scotch jokes and music, help to
pass the time very pleasantly, while
the dancing in the Una Cooper-Rollo
Pickert revue is more spirited and
original than the average. D. c. c.

''Thirty-fve years ago I married an
American. His name was George Hop

runs through this film is more robust
than that in most Arliss pictures, yet
defects no interest from the star,
since the players manage to keep
the idea of Nathan Rothschild, the
father, before you even during their

THUNDER OVER MEXICO"

The heritage and history of Mexico,
its beauty, its people and its numer-
Gus ancestors were pictorially por-
trayed last night by Sergei NJ Eisen-
STEMS Thunder Over Mexico" at the
National Press Clubs auditorium.
In line with the producers habit,
the actors of this Semi-hiStorical
cinema were natives, who were as
much at ease as their more polished
brothers of the West Coast. The
slavery of the starving poems and their
final successful rebellion made up the
story. Aside from the plot, the picture
was well worth while for Its poetic
beauty.
Thunder Over Mexico" was pre-
ceded by "DasSan, Isle of Penguins. !"
This nature picture showed the life
and the habits of the penguins of
the south coast of Africa. The pic
ture will be presented again tonight.

that there Will be The Night Is
Made for Love and other familiar
airs. and that Miss Macdonald will
wake up at dawn in that same old
bed which she has rented from the
studios for years.
Yet, as played and sung by Miss
Macdonald and Mr.. Novarro. as re-
written by the Spewack family, and
as directed by William X Howard,
you cannot say that you haven't en-
joyed most II not all of it. And we
are fairly certain that the screen play
is better than the operetta.

pantomimist; Gracelle and Theodore,
who do a good adagio dance in the
middle of the French Revolution
and the three Ritz brothers, who
somehow, we can't see for dust. Phil
Lampkin's overture is fine, as also
that flute solo done by Stanley
Wolfstahl.
CRETA GARBO continues at the
Palace IN queen ShrlStlna -
probably her best role to date. In 1t
she plays the tortured Queen of Swe-
den, who jumped out of bed in the
early morning and bathed her face in
snow, and who had that unpopular
virtue of preferring peace to war. In
it she also plays at very warm love
with John Gilbert, and in that final
scene, when she stands tilted against
the horizon on the boat that is to
carry her off to her unhappy future
(she died, you know, in Rome. poor
and friendless), she contributes to
camerology. or whatever you call 1t,
one of its immortal scenes.
Miss Garbo is all that she has ever
been-and considerably more in this
occasionally over-stuffed historical
drama. She is beautiful and good
and kind-everything, in fact, that
you want her to be, and that you
have been afraid she might not be
after the recent Hepburn landslide.
The fact that Mr.. Gilbert isn't very
good doesn't matter. The picture be-
longs, heart. body and soul. 20 Miss
Garbo. That should be enough for
anybody.

Conway Tearle, stage and screen actor,
told Superior Court commissioner
yesterday he owns no property. his
salary of $500 week at the film
studio is under attachment and he
owes the estate of former wife $4,000
in alimony.
The actor was examined as a judg-
ment debtor before the commissioner
by Henry Robinson, an attorney rep
resenting the estate of Mrs. Josephine
Park Conway, former wife of Tearle.
The attorney sought assets of Tearle
through which he could collect on a
judgment. The commissioner dis
missed the proceedings.
