Parole Film

Opinion on
Abuses.

AROLE," the new motion
- picture at R-K-O Keith's,
doesn't mince words. 1t
Il steps right forth in meeting,
and with no backsliding, voices the
view that the parole system Is wrong.
that parole boards are apt not to
function as they should because Of
politics, and that society's treatment
of paroled prisoners is not the treat
ment they should receive, either for
their own benefit or for the benef1t
of society.
It's q pleasure to find q film like
this coming out of Hollywood film
that has an opinion on a social prob
lem Of the day and isn't afraid to ex-
press its opinion. 1t almost reminds
you of the March of Time" Whether

thing for a student of the subject to
say. You may be fairly sure, however,
that they do or Hollywood. which US
ually finds the middle of the fence

right out and express itself on the
matter.
It no doubt Is safe to assume, too,
that paroled prisoners who attempt to
rejoin society and become decent citi-
zens have fairly rough shedding be-
cause of industry's reluctance to ab-
sorb persons with criminal records.
This particular facet of the parole
problem Is, in fact, the one dealt with
most severely by Parole" The film
does indict parole boards for letting
the wrong men go free, there's no
doubt, but it also points out that only

out of q hundred isn't such a bad
average.
Those six misses" out Of every

plan solution, with women's organiza-
tions, psychiatry Ito weed out habitual
criminals), and industry to help pa

zens) joining in the right kind Of a
parole system.
Besides being an intelligent discus
sion of parole problems the film is
dramatic and entertaining. Maybe it
colors the facts to gain dramatic ef-
feet, but it doesn't color them too
much. It's not an epic, either, but
this fortnight tale of young parolee

he leaves prison walls behind is worth

THE life story Of Florence Nightin-

and commendable dramatic sense in
1.-THE White Angel" which returned
to the Metropolitan yesterday for a
second week in the downtown Warner

handled and Ian Hunter and Donald

could serve higher gods than the do

Wallenstein
Leads Third
Of Concerts
Soloist of Evening is
Joseph Coleman,
ViOlinist.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

D1 ALANE CIV EnoNAhA~.
A LFRED WALLENSTEIN, the
n young visiting conductor Of
~ the Washington Summer
4 Concerts Association, was
given warm reception last evening
as he took up the baton to direct the
third orchestral concert at the water
gate, which concludes his series. Mr..
Wallenstein has been particularly
successful in his choice of programs
for Summer concert fare and that
of last evening continued In the same
vein.
Nicolai's spirited Overture to the
Merry Wives of Windsor" the first
hearing Of which was given 80 years
ago at a concert in Vienna at which
Jenny Lind was soloist, opened the
program. The orchestra, which had
stood to honor Mr.. Wallenstein on
his entrance, gave it a clear-cut,
smooth and flowing Interpretation in
which the rapport of men and con-
ductor was pleasantly evident.
The Soloist of the evening was
Joseph Coleman. violinist, who was
heard in the Mendelssohn Concerto
in e Minor" Mr.. Coleman, founder
of the Perole Quartet. is a musician
Of sterling worth, commanding the
resources of his instrument with thor
ough control. His Interpretation OF
the popular concerto followed the
traditional line and his technical
surety surmounted the more difdcult
passages with ease. There Is more
to be extracted from the beautiful
legato measures Of the second move
ment than Mr.. Coleman visualiSed,
however, his treatment being little
too superficial and lacking in the
necessary warmth. The final move
ment was carried through with dash
to a rousing finish and the artist
was recalled several times by his re-
sponsive hearers.
The life story which Richard
Strauss has written into his tone
poem, Don Juan," did not come
forth with its dramatic contrast fully
emphasized, but this was due in part
to the dispersed tonal volume which
Is still present in this years arrange
ment of the stage and amplification.
With the Nocturne and Scherzo from
MendelSohn's "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" giving again a lyric touch to
the program, the concert concluded
with the thrilling Ride Of the
ValkyrieS" from Wagner's opera.
The sudden and severe storm of the
afternoon may have been responsible
for a smaller audience than at the
previous concerts, but in spite of lack
of great numbers, those present
seemed to have recaptured the spirit
of friendly union that existed last
Summer between the orchestra and
the public. There was evident in
the abundant applause a sense Of
loyalty to the entsrprising musicians
who are striving to carry on the ira
dition which the Washington concert
goer has grown accustomed to during
the past few seasons. Next weeks
concerts will be under the direction
of Antonia Brico, who made her debut
as conductor in this city last Sum-
mer at the water gate. Following the
plan Of the Association, Miss Brico
will direct the three concerts of the
week on Sunday, Wednesday and
Friday nights.

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 24.-The
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad an
nounced Thursday the new 2-cent-a-
mile passenger fare had so stimulated
its business that two trains, discon-
tinued several years ago, were being
restored to take care of the increased
patronage.
The B. & o. led the fight in the
East for the reduced fares, which
went into effect June l. Its announce
ment of the enlarged train service
did not give the percentage of in
crease the lower rates had brought,
but indicated it had been a very
satisfactory one.
The new trains, both air-condition-
ed throughout, will go into operation
July 26 between Washington and Gin
cinnati, with connections at both ter
minals and at points en- route.
Train % will leave Washington at
1915 am. and arrive at Cincinnati
at pm, with stops at Grafton,
Wheeling, Clarksburg and Parkers-
burg, w. Va, and other points. The
eastbound companion train, No. "a,
will leave Cincinnati at 8 pm. and
arrive at Washington at 5:45 am,
connecting with train 10 for Balti-
more, Wilmington. Philadelphia and

handled with great respect for the dra-
matte qualities Of terror, panic, grief,
the hysteria Of relief and the other
emotions inevitably stirred by a major
catastrophe.
Up to the moment when the earth
quake breaks loose, San Francisco"
is a routine exercise for Clark Gable,
jeanette Macdonald and Spencer
Tracy. Gable is permitted to be hard,
masculine and engaging according to
his especial lights, Miss Macdonald
sings prettily and seems less adept as q
choir singer than as a cabaret enter
tainer, and Mr. Tracy makes rounded
characterization Of his assignment as
the two-fisted priest. This is all pleas
ing enough, but adds up to very little
before the houses begin to tumble and
the earth to stretch its yaw for victims.
After that San Francisco" becomes q
classic, must; technically, at least,
masterpiece. The fact it is having
a third week at the Palace also seems
to indicate it is box office.

plucked the choicer items and left to
be converted into laughs, duets and
dance routines according to the
worthy talents of Mr. Truck, Miss
Carr, a competent dancing fellow
named Chester Fredericks, Alex
Courtney, Barbara Towne and vari-
GUS others. The book of Spring Is
Here is no masterpiece, but inasmuch
as Mr.. Davis has written so many
dramatic items in his time it is not
safe to accuse him of borrowing from
any one but himself, for he probably
wrote the libretto that was daddy Of
