GABLE PICTURE
''Men in Whife'' Is a
LOue.Career Story Far
AbOue the Average.

Men in White" at Loew's Fox this
week, rates the triple star of excel
lence opposite it's name, not because
it is a masterpiece of subtlety or in
vention, but in reward for straight
forward honesty in treating a simple
story about a young man who is
forced to choose between his passion
for a career and his love of a girl.
Its interest enhanced by the nov
city of a hospital setting on which
virtually the entire drama is played
the film adaptation of Sidney Kings
leys stage success combines the vir-
tues of skillful direction. creditable
acting and pleasing photography.
/, George Ferguson is brilliant and
I-earnest young hospital inferno, hard
pressed by his own ambition to be-
come great surgeon, confused by
the apparent impossibility of dealing
due justice to his profession and at
the same time giving enough of his
attention to the wealthy lass of whom
he is enamoured. Selected by the
genius, DR.. Hochberg. to study under
his tutelage. Ferguson finds his
fiance unwilling to surrender him to
the unceasing labors necessary to pre-
pare him for the ranks of the famous.
The rift between them leaves space
for a brief affair with a lonesome and
appealing young English nurse in the
hospital, but Ferguson on the rebound
decides to take the easier course OF
acquiescence to his finances demands
for a bedside manner medical career.
That unhappy error is avoided by the
death of the English girl under cir
cumstances which reveal the alliance
between herself and Ferguson and
completely estrange him from Laura.
While he Is neither so deft nor so
finished in the role of DR.. Ferguson
as he was in the recent ut Hap
pened One Night" Clark Gable makes
an honest effort to carry the burden
of his part and succeeds in being i'm
pressively sincere. Aided by Jean
Hersholts effective mining as DR..
Hochberg. Gable manages to make
important the problems which har-
ass him. Elizabeth Allan turns in

Barbara. and Myrna 10y does we'll
with the part of the needless fiance.
Topped by Long Tack Sam and his
company of miraculous jugglers and
acrobats, the stage bill this week
lacks. as a whole, the excellence of
the film program, but the antics of
Long Tack's troupe alone would JUS
tify a visit to Carter Barron'S lead
ing emporium There is an almost
inhuman agility in some of the stunts
put on during this act, and if your
taste for dexterity is strong, these
are the actors to satisfy 1t.
The other numbers include a dance
act. with Betty Jane Cooper and the
Lathrop brothers. some frantic Xylo-
phone business by Prof. LAMBERT, and
an occasionally very funny comedy
team known as Mells, Kirk and
Howard.
The usual news reel and Phil Lamp
kin's overture complete the program.

MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
IN "GOOD.BYE AGAIN"
Amateurs, in Presenting Last
Play of Season, Do Splen-
did Work.

An appreciative audience applauded
every scene of the comedy, "Good-by
Again" presented by the Montgomery
Players at the Bethesda-C Chevy Chase
High School Saturday night. The
play. the last of four given by the
Montgomery Little Theater group dur
ing the present season, marked the
close of the fifth year of the groups
work.
"Good-by Again centers around
the love affairs of an author, Ken
meth Bixby. played by Ralph S. Fow-
Ter. who resorts to the lecture plat
form to recoup his losses in the mar
ket. taking with him his capable sec
retary, Anne Rogers, played by Martha
5. Williams.
Fowler was easily the star Of the
occasion. His Interpretation of Bixby

Mrs. Harvey Wilson. one of his for

ing performances. The bed room
scenes. in one of which Bixby goes
through the agony of getting awake

, in it brought rounds of applause from
the audience.
AS Anne Rogers, the loyal secretary
who anticipates Bixby's every wish
and whim and extricates him from
one embarrassing situation after an
other. Martha Williams did an excel
lent piece Of acting. carrying off her
part with perfect ease, poise and non
| chalance.
No little praise is due Harrison
Hathaway, whose Characterization of
Harvey Wilson, the patient. long
suffering husband of Julia Clochessy
Wilson, gave the audience half hour
of real amusement and enjoyment.
Stanley E. True acquitted himself
with honors as Arthur Westlake, pros
pective husband of Elizabeth Cloch-
essy, sister to Mrs. Wilson. His por-
trayal of the attorney who takes
every opportunity to impress his as
tuteness and ability upon his fiancee
and the public in general, left nothing
to be desired. And as Elizabeth, the
meddlesome sister, Helen Hathaway
presented a creditable performance.
Mary Daub completely won the
audience with her impersonation of
the glamorous yet naive Mrs. Wilson.
Thomas P Dowd. the stolid Mr.. Clay
ton of the play; Don Pollock. the
bellboy who knew how to handle his
job Edna E. Westwood, the silent,
efficient and disapproving maid;
Donald Bolton. the arrogant chauf-
feur, and Irving NJ Day. jr., who did
a clever bit of acting as the son of
Mr.. Clayton, completed the cast of
the play.
Special credit is due Richard W.
Westwood. who directed the play, for
the smooth manner in which the per-
formance was carried out.

large and distinguished audience filled

Democratic Club. Miss Troyano pre-
sented an intimate recital of songs of

group of songs in English.
Miss Troyano has small but lovely
voice of peculiarly sweet and winning
quality. 1t is especially well suited
to the program she presented yester-
day and in the intimate surroundings
OF the club was most effective. She
sings sith naturalness and ease and
won a decided success with her deli
cate and charming interpretations
Her program comprised "Maidens of
Seville" "Jota," Rosario" The Sill
versmith." Hail, the Bull Fighter" /"
Cradle Song" and "Andalusian Sere-
made" in her first group. Following
were songs from different countries,

her singing.

BREVARD CIVIC
Club GATHERS.
Art in the Home" Con-
stitutes April Program
for Women's Group

BREVARD, April ). Especially.
Featuring the April meeting OF
the Women's Civic club held Mon
day afternoon was a program OF
unusual interest given by the
American Home CO m m / t t e,
stressing different phases of home
life.
The committee chairman, Mrs.
Coleman Galloway, was in charge
Of the program, discussing the
topic, cart in the Home" She
brought out the fact that the
ideal home is made un not merely
of elaborate furniture, fixtures
and decorations, but to be ideal
the home must also radiata SUM-
shine and cheer and be filled with
beauty and peace because of the
spirit of love and affection there
in.
Mrs. C. L. Newland emphasized
another phase of life IN the home
by discussion of "Rooks in the
Home" 1t was pointed out that
books are food for the mind just
as bread is food for the body and
should therefore be selected with
care. "To buy ana read good
books is sure means to educa-
ton, refinement and culture" she
stated. The Importance of par
ents guarding against reading or
possessing books they would con-
slider unfit for their children to
read was also stressed.
The program was concluded by
discussion of emusic in the
Home" by Mrs. J. b. Jones.
Music has an inspiring, refining
and patriotic influence, it was
stated, and the home is almost as
incomplete without some musical
instrument as it would be with
out books. A plea was made for
the best music in the home, there
by adding one more bulwark
which should protect and sur
round the home of today.
During the business session,
presided over by the president,
Miss Florence Kern, it was voted
that the club would sponsor for
another summer season the Wom-
ems Exchange. Decision for the
opening date and location of the
exchange was deferred until
later, both questions to be def
nitely settled at the May meeting.

A motion filed by ATTORNEY
General John w. Bricker asks
permission to file an original suit
seeking to enjoin the commission

tends that such an imposition is
an infringement on the sovereign
powers of Ohio is unconstitu-
tional.
Other states having similar
systems of dispensing liquor, no
tably Pennsylvania, are expected
to intervene in the case.
The court upheld the Iowa
state tax Of three cents a gallon
on gasoline as an excise tax pay
able by the consumer and not by
the gasoline company which
brought suit.
Discarding the contention that
the interstate commerce commits
sion lost its authority to control
interstate rates in conjunction
with interstate rates bv reason
of the emergency transportation
act of 1888. the court upheld
orders boosting interstate log
rates in Georgia.
Because a three Judge statu-

court alone took jurisdiction of
the attempt of Mississippi to tax
pipe lines of the Interstate Nat

the state, the court remanded
the case to the lower court for
further action.
Federal land banks were held
entitled to charge attorneys fees
within reasonable amounts on
foreclosure proceedings brought
on mortgages made by the bank.
This rule, however, applies only
in states where no specific state
