BARRACAR IS
 TOP PINSTER
 AT ELK CLUB
Topples Most Pins in 2l Games, Three Games
 and Single Game

Following an old family custom, James Barragar, Jr., monopoized individual scoring honors in the first Elks bowling tournament of the season, just concluded. He not only won high average, 186, but he rolled the biggest score for a single game, 253, and the biggest for three games, 619l Like Alexan- der, he had no more worlds to conquer.
 Nick Bavard is credited with the same average, 186, but his total was just one pin shy of Barra- gar's, so the latter wears the crown. Fred Henning was third, 1855; Selby fourth, 183; and Lave nix fifth, 182.
 The Webfeet-Lavenik, Walmer and R. H. Williams-made the highest total for one game, 565, and the Cougars, champions of the Northern Division-Caro, Cleveland and Southwell-were high for three games, 1903.
 Not counting averages for bowl CTS who were absent, the Dons made the best average showing, 525. Here is the way the teams ranked in this respect:
 Team Averages
 Northern Division-Cougars, 508; Beavers, 488; Vandals, 488; Web feet, 487; Grizzlies, 478; Bulldogs, 465; Polar Bears, 463; Huskies, i45. The Huskies were handicap ped by the absence of Captain Nelson from most of their games
 Southern Division-Dons, 525; Gaels, 5O4; Trojans, 5O2; Broncs 49O; Indians, 485; Bruins, 475; Utes, All; Golden Bears, 467.
 The Trojans topped the league in attendance record, having a perfect mark with the exception of one game missed by one oi the players.

Gallant Lady Is
Columbia Film

Ann Harding registers one OF
the best performances of her
career in Gallant Lady," now at
the Columbia. This picture, pro-
duced by the industrious Daryl
Zanuck, recently played a seven
days engagement at the Fox.
The star has been given a
superlative supporting cast. She
plays a girl, forced to abandon
her baby, who becomes a success
full business woman. When her
child is adopted, she promises
never to see him, but a chance
meeting revives all of her moth
er's instincts. She bends all her
efforts to securing the boy and
finally does. $500.
Miss Harding's role is a NOV
ing, well-etched Characterization
Give Brook gives a sterling por.
trait Of a rundown doctor. Dickie
Moore is an appealing Deedy, and
Otto Kruger, Tullio Carminati
and Janet Beecher perform ex-
cellently.
The poignancy Of the story,
which in telling seems bit hack
neyed, is lightened by clever dia-
logue and Gregory La Cava's able
direction. Gallant Lady" well
deserves its second downtown en-
gagement. It's that good.

They open with a Marching

melodious: Then Ravel's "Bolero," ,"
which becomes more than rhyth-

Composer Sims then solos with an
harmonic rendition Of Let's Fall

ear attuned for melody. Follows
q symphonic version of Farewell
to Arms" and as an encore, a
brand-new idea applied to the IA

You will like the Sims-Bailey
act, both for its vocal pyrotech-
mics and its deft fitting of the
piano into the routine so that the
honors can be divided $3.50. The
hard-boiled opening audience at
the Earle yesterday cut loose with
a flattering reception.
A. Robins, the walking music

Lowe and McLaglen, Of course,
are a couple of rival divers, who
argue and battle, strive to win the
affections of a young lady who
owns a salvage ship.
The picture would have been
far more engrossing if the direc-
tor had not attempted to inject
the Flagg-Quirt atmosphere in a
story that was not fitted for it..
AS it is, "No More Women" has
several tedious sequences that slow
up the action. Even so, it's still
an above average film.

Yesterday afternoons audience
at the Fox kept on applauding
after the curtains had closed on
Phil Spitalny's act, and the fea-
ture had been flashed on the
screen. His band of 80 musical
ladies seems to have scored de-
cisively.
Maestro Spitalny's present Of
fering is in direct contrast to the
male orchestra he brought for
his last engagement. Then, they
specialized in loud, GRASSY" ar
rangements. Now, sweet melody
and smooth rhythms are featured.
Beautifully staged, the presenta-
tion is decidedly entertaining.
In addition to the group of
talented musicians, there are also
a girls trio, two soloist and a
clever tap dancer. Ethel Pastors
charming voice deserves more op-
portunity, as does Marion Lash.
You'll enjoy the entire act; con-
gratulations, Mr.. Spitalny.
The Three Slate Brothers, who
used to dance, indulge in slapstick
this time. They have a boisterouS
adagio dance with dummy that's
a riot. Pete, of film renown,
demonstrates his uncanny abilities
in an informal act. Lee Murray
and the Sinclair Twins open with
a fast dance revue that is excel
lent.
''No More Women" on the
screen this week, reunites the
team of Edmund Lowe and Victor
McLaglen, whose what Price

The Dark Tower
Comes Monday
To BeIasco

Combining the best elements Of
a tensely exciting murder play
and a gay comedy dealing with
interesting show folk, "The Dark
Tower" by Alexander WoollcotS
and George S. kaufman, which
recently concluded an extended
engagement on Broadway, will
open a weeks engagement at the
Shubert-Belasco Theater on next
Monday evening. Jessie Royce
Lands is featured at the head
Of a large cast, together with
Alexander Clark and Allan Tower.
"The Dark Tower concerns JeS-
sica Wells, a prominent young
actress who, after a three-year
absence from the stage, the result
of a nervous breakdown, is about
to return to the footlights with
her noted brother, a character
star of distinction. All is well un-
til Stanley Vance, Jessica'S sup
posedly dead and decidedly un-
welcome husband, suddenly re-
turns to assert himself on star
tied household.
Because of his strange weird in
fluence over his wife, the girls
family is unable to combat the
power possessed by this sinister
Svengali, who Immediately sub
jects Jessica under his control
once more as he establishes him.
self in her unwilling home. The
novel manner in which the gifted
authors solve the perplexing prob
lem of removing this deSpicable
character to everyone's Satisfac-
ton is both exciting and in
genious. The play, in its chang
ing moods, is filled with fine writ
ing and many fine examples Of
cleaning humor in a melodra-
matte setting.
The cast involved in these serio-
comic proceedings is an excep-
tional one. Miss Lands enacts
the difficult part of the strangely
hynotized Jessica; Mr.. Clark plays
the important role of the brother,
while the portrayal of Vance is
effectively handled by Mr.. Tower.
