since early in the summer,
spot for their waking hours
Across the highway and down
the road o bit, at the end Of a
seemingly endless path,
through trees, is Fort Belvoir.
For many years this Army post
was known as Fort Humphreys,
then, last spring in order to
preserve and perpetuate the
name long associated with that
historic ground along the Po-
tomac, the name was changed
to Fort Belvoir.
Fort Belvoir Army Post
The reservation occupies part
Of the Colonial estate Of Col.
William Fairfax. who was sent
there about 1874 by his cousin.
Lord Thomas Fairfax, to act as
superintendent of the entire
Fairfax estate in Virginia. Not
long after his arrival Colonel
Fairfax selected some $500
acres adjoining Mount Vernon,
which was a gift from Lord
Fairfax. It was here that he
erected his spacious manor
house which he named Belvoir
in honor of his family estate in
England. For 40 years Belvoir
was the seat of one of the most
refined and distinguished FAM
lilies in Virginia, and was noted
for its princely hospitality.
All that now remains Of that
grand old place are some inter.
esting ruins. A brick walk
leads from the edge Of the not
far distant river, through the
woods, to the crumbling steps
Of the basement foundation. At
one side one can see the oven
that must have baked countless
biscuits, cornbread and other
Colonial delicacies. However. if
one stands facing the twisting
river, lazy birds sailing aloft,
and the wind in the tall trees,
there is the strange feeling that
the ghost Of the old home has
arisen, and if one could turn
quick enough, the stately COL
umns, brass-knockered door and
protecting stone walls could
once again be seen.
Hunt Organized
Some short time ago Fort Bel
voir organized its first hunt club.
For several years various per-
sons had suggested the idea, but
that was all. It finally remained
for Capt. Homer Petit to really
do something about it. To
have hunt it is, of course,
necessary to have pack of
hounds. It seems that other
hunts always are interested in
new Hunts getting a start in
this world, so from Fort Riley,
from Hagerstown. from Warren
ton and Bradley Farms came
giftS-their contributions to a
pack. The young hounds were
farmed out to various officers
and their families to bring up.
The hunt Sunday will start
from George Washington'S old
grist mill at 9:45 and will cover
the territory down toward
Mount Vernon. It is a nicely in.
formal hunt, with unimposing
jumps and easy land to go over.
Captain Petit is. the Master and
the Whips include Major James
A. McCallam, Major Harry
Buckley, Major Stanley Scott
and Lieut.. Phillip Kroner.
Among those, in addition to the
Assistant Secretary of War and
his pretty blonde wife, who will
ride, are: Major and Mrs. Alex
ander McNabb, of Fort Myer:
Mrs. Frederick Saint, Mrs. Ches-
ter Harding, Lieut.. Walter
Kruger, Capt. and Mrs. Her
mann Pohl and Mrs. Daniel
Noce.

Tiny Star Has Fine Sup porting Cast in Little
 Miss Marker Capitol

If you are one of those myriad millions who subscribe to the oft quoted aphorism about good things coming in small packages, you belong down at the Capitol thea 'tre, where Damon Runyon's.. Lit tie Miss Marker" will cpen Fri day. 1 sfaoThis particular good things name is Shirley Temple. Although she's barely five and weighs little more than forty pounds, well, wa ger that you. never before saw so much personality, such direct straightforward and admirable act ing as this divinely dimpled little charmer lends to her role in a whimsical and vastly entertaining chronicle of little-known Broad way.
 Damon Runyan Story It's story by the man who knew them all, Damon Runyan, author of Lady For Day'-and it concerns the touts and the bookmakers, and all the innumer- able small fry who hang around Broadway. It has laughs, and it has tears, but most imporant it is an honest tale about the charity and the kindliness concealed be- heath even the stiffest shirt-bos- om, in that hardest of all arteries i Broadway.
 Topping the cast are suave and inimitable Adolphe Menjou; gorgeous Dorothy Dell, who made her motion picture debut ir Wharf Angel" and such season ed performers as Charles Bick- ford, Lynne Overman, Sam liar. | dy, Frank McGlynn, Sr, anc Crauford Kent.
 Little Shirley Temple first en- ters the plot of the story wher she is deposited with Menjou, a; collateral for a bet, by her fath- CT who subsequently, disappears.
 Broadway Gees Soft
 Menjou, shabby, sodden and grim finds his heart melting before the charm of this innocent child who fancies that his tough friends are the knights of King Arthur's Round Table.
 Before long, half of Broadway is on a cooperative venture-help- ing him to raise the little girl But it is in the final episodes when tragic climax is narrowly averted that the nobility of these strange people really asserts itself and Menjou and Miss Dell are happily united through their love for the child.

Dance on Clouds in New Feature Altogether Too
 Much Overrated
By ROBBIN CoONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 21.-- Dancing on clouds is, in the nov ies. no mere figure of speech. Some half hundred chorines can tes- tify that it is all wet.
 Rhythm Is the Rain" is a spectacular number in Maurice Chevalier's new musical NFollies Bergere." They get rhythm, and they get rain, and they put both with the chorines-on one of Hollywood's most fantastic sets.
 Between cloud-banks painted on sheets of misted glass; are the rurways trimmed in red, electric lighting belts. The girls in tight fitting black one-piece costumes with black, feathered hats, do a routine on the zigzag tiers. They carry parasols, black outside, sil- vered within.
