HUMAN INTEREST STORY PLAYS AIT CAPITOL THURS.|

Opening tonight, and playing over the holiday, Mary Jane's Pa, v, Warner Brothers production, brings to the Capitol Theatre a human in- interest film whichNfor it's kind is ex- ceptionally well done.
 Guy Kibbe gives an excellent characterization of the happy -go- lucky tramp printer, kindly, good- humored but constantly swayed by an inborn wanderlust.
 Aline MacMahon has the stellar lead as the wife of Kibbee, who, when deserted, continues their small town newspaper to earn a living for herself and children. She handles the part with a keen insight into character, with great sympathy and unusual artistry
 But it is Betty Jean Haney the child who has inherited her fathers desire to wander, who really walks away with the show. Betty steals ev- eryesene she appears in and does it with natural charm which makes her definite new film menace. Few people will be able to resist the scene where the good-natured wan dering printer, broke and working as 8 barker in a circus. finds little lost girl who proves to be his own and brings her home riding on an elephant.

ADJO URNMENT
SEEN FAVOR|NG
PRESIDENT
BY EARL GOODWIN

Officially, the White House
maintains strict silence on stories
as to when Congress should or
will adjourn, but take it from the
old.time politicians who know
what's going on way down un-
derneath, the President wants a
program rather than adjourn
ment.
But, as an alternative, if it
comes to that, he would just as
soon see Congress quit and go
home, for the sake of national
silence.
President Roosevelt wants a
program because he thinks it
necessary to round out his re-
form movement. A secondary rea-
son is that he plans to explain
his program to the country be-
tween now and next year when
the campaign starts.
He wants the enactment of the
utility holding company regula-
tory bill; the amendments to the
banking laws with that section
eliminated giving banks the right
to underwrite securities; the AAA
amendments, which are red hot
in the Senate just now; the IVA
legislation permitting wider use
of the IVA power plants, and he
wants his gold-clause legislation.
The tax bill is not on the pre-
ferred list today.
The Presidents advisers see in
q congressional adjournment
more headlines for the President
and fewer for the congressional
critics.
The President has been told
that it is Congress and not the
New Deal which is destroying con-
fidence.
One significant remark from a
Congressional leader was the pre-
diction that Congress would adj
journ no later than August 20,
which is about the last date
which would permit the Presi-
dent to speak in Milwaukee
August % or %, with an ad,
journed Congress.
With the enactment of the
"must program" or as it is now
called, the desirable" program,
the chances are that New Deal
reform measures will have come
to an end for some time to come.

Hlook of disgust on the face Of

with one run and four hits.
"Humph," SnOrted Griffith,
"lOOkS to me like the players
are going to break out with
that old one about not being
able to hit because they haven't
seen enough pitching. Well, all
1 can say is that they certainly
amt hitting what pitching
they're seeing"

saw a graphic bit of testimony
that Lyn Larry is one of the best
infielders in baseball. In the
sixth the shortstop raced far to

for the prettiest' put-out these

GREAT RACES
|NPROSPECT
At MEET

BOWIE, Md, March 29.-An
international aspect has been lent
the 11.day meeting, which opens
at 2:30 p. M, Tuesday, by the
announcement that j. E. Small
man and E. F. Seagram, Canada's
leading turfmen would strive fol
purses.
Smallman not only topped
Canada'S list of money winning
owners last year, but finished
sixteenth on Americas list with
$57,96O, which was garnered
through his horses winning 8S
races, finishing second SO times
and third upon 48 occasions.
George Alexander, one OF the
shrewdest young trainers ever to
tighten girth on a horse in this
country, handles the Smallman
band. Work watchers say his
charges are razor sharp and that
the man who heads him will Tor
the list of winning trainers dur
ing the Southern Maryland Agrl-
cultural Associations sport.
May Double Odds
E. F. Seagram won only IL
races a year ago. but the odds are
1-to-100 that he doubles that total
this year. His string performed
creditably the past winter in
Florida and should easily earn its
way during the session, which
opens next week.
The Bowie Inaugural, Tuesdays
opening feature, has everyone
guessing. With horses training
at Havre de Grace, Pimlico, Laurel
and here, the experts are at loss
to install an early favorite. How
ever, one will bob up within the
next "a hours, but will in all like
lihood suffer defeat Tuesday a.
several of the trainers with can
didates for the big event have
been throwing stiff preps under
their charges belts in the wee
small hours of the morning.
Wayne D. Wright, contract rider
for Joseph E. Widener, who was
the sensation of the winters sport
in Florida, will accept mounts
throughout the approaching meet
ing. His engagements are being
made by former Jockey Nick Huff
OF Washington.
Rough Going
However, Wright is going to
have rougher going here as Sonny
Workman, who showed better
than a 40 average the past win
ter in California, will be on hand
Silvio Coucci, Eddie Arcaro
Bobby Robertson, Bobby Merritt
Joe O'Malley, Earl Steffen, Joie
Lynch, George wat S on, Joe
Renick, Carl Hanford, Don Meade
and Johnny Gilbert will also be
available; therefore Wright, Work
man or whoever eventually tops
the list of winning riders will dc
80 only after a bitter struggle.

GRIST OF THE GRIFFS
Bv FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

BILOXI, Miss, March 28.-The
Washington Senators have been
standing on tiptoe this spring,
waiting breathlessly to see if the
jinx that crippled them as a team
last season will hover over the
camp again.
Today it looked like it might
have returned. In the third inning
of the game against the Kansas
City Blues, Lyn Larry was struck
on the left hand by wild pitch,
while batting against Page. The
Washington infielder hit the dirt
with a resounding bang, threw his
bat away and Rugged his hand.
Mike Martin rushed over, pulled
gingerly at the injured member,
Larry yelled "ouch'' and trotted
down to first base, thankful that
he had escaped only with a
bump.

feared.
