STRAND

Current attractions at Warmers Strand theater arc Evelyn Prem tice" and Its A Gift" William Powell and Myrna Loy are starred in the former.
 With Powell as q criminal at- torney and Miss Loy as his wife. the play deals with q murder case ih which the fate of defendant, and the life happiness of the attor- ney. are woven together in d mys- tery that holds it's suspense until the final surprising denouement in a spectacular cuort sequence.
 Powell Is masterful in his im- passioned plea to the jury and in his investigation of baffling crime. and Miss Loy runs the gamut of emotions, her work in the court sequence being particu- larly gripping. Blonde Isabel Jewell forsakes comedy roles for a tragic interpretation of the mur- der defendant which is one of the surprises of the picture, and Ed ward Brophy and Una Merkel handle the comedy relief with hilarious results.
 Others adequately cast are little Cora Sue Collins, as the daughter of Powell and Miss Loy; Rosalind Russell. Waterbury girl. as Nancy, the "vamp".
 w. c. Fields and Baby LeIaoy are outstanding in the companion feature, "Its A Gift, q comedy packed with laughs. Wednesday brings The Captain Hates The Sea-. and Church Mouse" while on Friday and Saturday Mrs Wiggs Of The Cabbage Patch" and "The Westernerp will be present. ed.

LINES FROM QUIET WORK"

One lesson, Nature, let me learn of thee, One lesson which in every wind is blown, One lesson of two duties kept at one Though the loud world proclaim their enmity- Of toll unsever'd from tranquility!
 Of labour, that in lasting fruit outgrows Far noiser schemes, accomplished in repose, Too great for haste, too high for rivalry! Yes, while on earth thousand discords ring, Mans fitful uproar mingling with his toll, Still do thy sleepless ministers move on, Their glorious tasks in silence perfecting; Still working, blaming still our vain turmoil Labourers that shall not fail, when man is gone.

U. S. NJ c., officer in charge OF the
Marine Corps Reserve. said: After
having seen Reserve units on the East
and West Coast and on the Great
Lakes, it is my opinion that the 5th
Battalion did the best and hardest
work. The District of Columbia may
well be proud OF its contribution to
national defense in the Marine Corps.
The 5th Battalion is beyond praise"
The board commended Mai. Miller
as deserving of special commendation
in that by reason of his energy and
initiative, and the exercise Of pleas
ing and forceful personality, was re-
sponsible for the high degree of dis
cipline and training and the whole
hearted manner in which all members
of the battalion under his command
applied their best efforts to carry on
a successful conclusion an exacting

who take their patriotism in a seri-
GUS and practical manner. All they
want to be ready for is to move up
with the Marine Corps on the first
day that trouble breaks. We have no
other ambitions. We're just trying to
be real Marines and If We click it's due
chiefly to the loyalty Of every officer
and man Of our fine battalion. What
we need most of all is a decent arm
ory. What We did we prepared for
with headquarters in a condemned
Office building, loaned to us by the
District Commissioners. with all our
drills in the streets at night We have
the poorest accommodations of any
