Hollywood could have played it
just as we'll.
However, if you like Frank Nor.
gan, here is your opportunity to
see him playing a substantial
family man against his usual
philandering and comedy charac,
terizations.
First Lady Guest
The First Lady Of the land,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, had
the opportunity last night at the
New York Winter Garden of see
ing herself portrayed by Luella
Gear, one of the featured players
in the new revue, Life Begins
At $40"
Mrs. Roosevelt and her son
John, with party of IL, occupied
seats in the fourth row centre,
and when Miss Gear made her
entrance, all eyes were centered
on Mrs. Roosevelt. There was
much laughter, in which the First
Lady joined when Miss Gear
sang:
"At seven o'clock this morning
at Poughkeepsie
/ spoke at the opening Of q
bridal path
Had breakfast in Savannah and
flew to Indiana
To dedicate a ladies Turkish
bath
/ chriStened a ferris wheel in
Chattanooga
And then 1 unveiled a western
barbecue
At Warner Brothers Palace I
opened next in Dallas
And here am 1 to launch a gon-
dOla for YOU"
Upon the conclusion of the
performance. Mrs. Roosevelt re-
NAMED standing for fully 10
minutes, during which time, the
curtain was raised and the com
pany applauded her. She ap.
peared enormously pleased at the
reception. Mrs. Roosevelt left the
theatre in a taxicab accompanied
by a secret service man, who used
a side exit in order to avoid the
crowds which attempted to mob
Mrs. Roosevelt.

Samuel Barrymore Colt.

Empress Maria Louisa in Glenn

Provides Romance

FTOVIQeS Romance
To get down to cases, Death on
the Diamond" is a right smart
baseball mystery story. You may
know your inside curves and fast
ones and then have a third strike
slipped over on you unless you
watch very closely.
! To me a real kick was the sight
M Ted Healy as a near1sighted
Baseball umpire. A kick, because
Bantaloon Healy, not satisfied
With getting laughs, has high

and sheds real tears.
The villain of the story is John
Hyams, father Of Leila Hyams,
and to disclose the other peril
diouS character would be to de-
Stroy your interest in a surprise
solution.
Those who are familiar with
the Griffmen will recognize Patsy
Flaherty, handsome twirler who
came here from Toledo and lasted
until st. Louis pinned his ears
back and detoured him to the
minors. Pat supplied the techni-
cal direction for the picture.

Loew's Fox screen on Friday.
Father Gets Break

There's Always Tomorrow" by
Ursula Parrot, tries to show
that papa is the forgotten man,
that children are inclined to look
upon him as the fellow who
brings home the pay envelope
every week, but should put on
his carpet slippers and light his
pipe whenever they want to use
the family automobile.
Frank Morgan is the daddy.
He plays suburbanite who fig

finds that he has a spot in his
heart for somebody who figures
he has a useful place in the
world. Before daddy has a chance
to have his foot slip and tumble
into tragedy, there is a moment
Of sacrifice that marks There's
Always Tomorrow, a picture that
women will probably shed tears
over and understand better than
men folks.

Down in southern Kentucky,
the husband of the family rides
a mule to market every week
end. Sam Jones always did
this very thing. He would put
his sack of corn on his mule
and ride to town while his wife
walked behind.
Arriving there, they would
do their shopping. Sam would
get his corn ground, place it
on his mule, hop on himself
and ride on back home. His
wife would again trail behind,
carrying all the extra bundles
and packages.
Listen, Sam said a friend
one day, how is it that you
always ride the mule while your
wife walks? What's the idea?'
