Peabody
At Shoreham

He's back! The biggest news
in washington night club history
is the announcement that Eddie
Peabody will open four-day en-.
gagement as headliner of the
new floor show at the new ball
room in the Shoreham Hotel,
commencing tonight.
Eddie is one of the most popu.
lar entertainers that has ever
appeared in Washington, and the
Ball Room is sure to be filled
these four days with Peabody
admirers. Three weeks ago he
appeared at one of the down.
town theaters and then repaired
back to New York to set his new
orchestra. Very important social
engagements make it imperative
for him to be in Washington for
few days, and Manager Gard
ner Moore, upon hearing of this,
completed negotiations to have
him at his club as headliner for
a few days.

You who have taken marital
vows will have a vague recollec-
ton of having heard the title at
some time or other but will
hardly connect it with the far
from solemn use in this amusing
play.
1t seems that once upon a time
there were three children, a girl
and two boys who played to-
gether all through childhood; one
boy was loved for the utter mis-
chievousness of his ways while
the other was considered a sort
of "good-old-charlie" by the girl.
Grown to full estate the three
love each other devotedly but
romance favors two and the third
is asked to be a good scout and
give the bride away.
The girl, n her lovely bridal
gown, the choir singing the ia
nous Mendelssohn bridal march,
finds herself without a groom;
Tilted is the word, 1 believe,
smack at the altar.
Not a pretty picture, for the
girl loved very deeply and while
she turns t. the other man for
understanding, she finds it hard
to turn the love of her youth
out of her heart, so she manages
to see him again and they have
a lot of fun, get into trouble
with the agility of a pair of &C.
robats, almost reach the altar
again, but the old faithful stand,
ing in the otfing, so to speak,
finds that everything comes to
him who waits, if he just waits
long enough.
Just one of those pictures in
which everybody has a grand
time, including the audience.
They flash across the film pro.
grams only too seldom.
Joan Crawford is the honey
she was a couple of years ago
before she went Garbo-dramatic
on us; Clark Gable repeats the
impression he made of being able
to do an amusir role without
j. orardizing his silent-hero place
in the cinematic sunlight; Robert
Montgomery, leaning a bit on the
heavy side, is the playboy who
done wrong by our Nell"!
Charles Butterworth ambles into
scene after scene and mikes
those three stars really look to
their laurels. Billie Burke, Fran
ces Drake and a host of others
enter into the picture to good
purpose.
There are numerous shorts
which include a Fitzpatrick
Traveltalk, a Pete Smith Sports
reel, Hearst Metrotone aid a
colored cartoon *. Y.

Jolly Fantasy
On Screen at
Columbia

The younger generation gets a
break at Loew'S Columbia The.
ater.
Babes in Toyland" is the pic
ture and it provide q real treat
for the holiday week. Laurel
and Hardy and Charlotte Henry
have featured roles in this
adaptation of Victor Herbert's
operetta, which includes many
of the beloved characters of
Mother Goose. Even the two
comics seem to have caught the
fantastic spirit of the fable and
give a performance of more than
their usual appeal.
Babes in Toyland," while
utilizing much of the tuneful
Victor Herbert scores, does not
attempt to stick too closely to
the original story. Instead, the
screen is peopled with a host of
make believe characters.
The film opens with a shot OF
the open Mother Goose volume
whose pages show many of the
Illustrated characters of the
story. The plot soon develops
when Barnaby tries to foreclose
the mortgage on the Old Lady
Who Lives in a Shoe. Laurel
and Hardy, as Dunn and Dee,
interfere.
A descent by Bo-Peep (Char-
lotte Henry into Bogey Land and
her rescue from the Bogey Men
by Laurel and Hardy, the attack
on Toyland by the Bogey Men
and the final triumph, in which
the Wooden Soldiers arrive in the
nick of time, provide a rapidly
mounting story.
Besides the usually good per-
formances by the two chief COM
les, another neat piece of acting is
offered by Charlotte Henry,
whose "Alice in Wonderland" and
THE Human Side" have already
marked her as future young
lady of Importance.

Although this film runs some
thing more than the usual length,
it will hold you engrossed from
beginning to end.
Katharine Hepburn is perfectly
cast in the role of Babbie, and in
this, her fifth picture, she prob
ably appears at her best. At once
a grand lady" and an irrespon-
sible, carefree gypsy, the Hepburn
talents really have a chance to
burn at full flame.
The locale of the story is of in.
tereSt-the Scottish weaving town
of Thrums. The time is 1840.
In an atmosphere of industrial
strife, coupled with a populace
whose religion equalled the stern
ness of the Puritans, a love story
is played that shakes a church to
its foundations.
The thing is drama at it's best.
It is perfectly cast. excellently
directed and the photography is
unsurpassed. Some of the outdoor
scenes are really masterpieces of
beauty.
In THE Little Minister" the
stars vivid young genius extends
itself in a revel of appealing
humor and pathos.
Featured in support of Miss
Hepburn are John Beal in the
title role; and Alan Hale as his
tormentor, Rob Dow, village in
surgent and drunkard. Other
colorful roles are by Beryl Mercer
as the little clergyman's mother;
Donald Crisp as DR.. Mcqueen;
Frank Conroy as Lord Rintoul,
Babbie's fiance; Lumsden Hare
as Lany Thammas, precentor of
the village kirk; Andy Clyde as
Wearyworld, the polls; Billy
Watson as Micah Dow; Mary
Gordon as Old Nanny; Ely

Peck's Bad Boy
At the Met

"Peck's Bad Boy" came to the
screen of the Metropolitan The
ater yesterday with Jackie Cooper
in the title role. Thomas Meighan
is cast as Billy's father, Henry
Peck.
The Fox Film Corporation has
turned out a success in this
version of the story of the same
name written some years ago by
George N. Peck. 1t is somewhat
more than entertainment.
The excellent direction of Ed
ward F. Cline displays a deep in
sight into that thing commonly
called hoy psychology" AS a re,

themselves prey to emotions long

Billy Peck, lovable and mis-

known to every community. The
child actors handling of the des-

TWO DAYS MORE
To SECURE AUTO
STATE LICENSES
EXTENSION OF TIME LIMIT
TO EXPIRE JANUARY 81;
ALL DELINQUENTS WILL BE
HAULED BEFORE COURT

Only two more days to buy
state licenses for automobiles, says
Tax Collector F. H. Laid, and
there are approximately $50 cars
and trucks without them.
When the governor was pre-
vailed upon to extend the pur-
chase time from January Is to
February 1, it was done, it was
said, because there had in the past
always been an extension, usually
30 days.
This year the governor did not
intend to extend the time, but
when he did so he stipulated that
it would be for not more than 16
days and after January 81 any
owner or driver of an automobile
or truck without license, will be
held as a violator of the law.
On Thursday, February 1, sher-
ifs throughout the state will be
instructed to seize all cars, arrest
the drivers or owners and take
them into court, to answer to
charges of operating without the
prescribed license.
