For Few minutes later When MISS
Davies, out Of the kindness of her
heart. strolls out on the stage to do
her bit in the piece, she is accom-
panied at various and sundry times
by no less than 600 supers, probably
the entire army Of extras from "The
Charge of the Light Brigade" (advt.).
They swish and hoof and twirl about
in costumes of assorted periods, sup
plying background for Miss Davies

There Is, in fact, bit of Miss
Davies here and there along the reel.
She appears always impeccably
gowned and girlish in a practical way,
eager to please and f1awlessly inef-
fectual. The film has as its hero a
young actor named Clark Gable, who
(mark these words) will do big things
some day when he gets a real chance
before the camera. Being an actor,
he wears in his present role that re-
signed expression first invented by
the Uncle Toms who were sold down

rife furore If their bard had been
sacrificed upon Hollywood's golden
altars.
The motion picture follows closely
in the path of the original play. The
screen has, however, provided the good
doctor with a broader canvas for
humors Of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" than ever did the stage. The
camera can move swiftly from the
palace Of Theseus to the wood near
Athens, to ounces house, and back
to the wood again. And when it's
time for the fairies to come upon the
scene, they don't Enter Left; they
slide down real moonbeams. The
screen, too, provides effects that never
could be attained on the stage-effects
which give the beautiful fantasy of the
goings-on that night in the woods
just the tinge of realism which makes
them believable for the moment.

that the Kansas governor would

COUNTIES JOIN
FOR WELFARE
CAMPAIGN

Nearby welfare organizations in
Maryland and Virginia today an
nounced that plans had been COM
pleted for these units to work
simultaneously with the Com
munity Chest of Washington in
the welfare drive this year.
Designed to avoid Implications,
divert all contributions to the
locality in which the contributor
lives and to facilitate the work
generally, the suburban organiza-
tons have formed a conference
which consists of equal represen-
tation from the welfare units of
Alexandria city, Arlington and
and Fairfax counties, in Virginia,
and Prince Georges and Mont
gomery counties in Maryland.
Although all units, including
the Washington Chest, will work
together in conducting this years
drive, each will shoulder its own
work in canvasSing and retain the
individual responsibility for the
success Of their respective cam
paigns.
Alexandria's drive will be under
the direction of the United Chart
ties; Arlington county's will be
headed by the board of public
welfare; Fairfax county's by the
board of public welfare, and the
two Maryland counties by their
respective social service leagues.
Solicitations made in Washing
ton will give VirginianS and
Marylanders an opportunity to
make their contributions directly
to the Community Chest, but
designated to the particular well
fare unit to which they desire to
make contribution.

LACK OF j. 5. ROAD

for Vehicle Tax.

Deploring the use of motor vehicle
tax funds for anything besides high
way and street purposes, Maj. Roy F.
Britton, general manager of the
Highway Users Conference and presi-
dent of the Automobile Club Of Mis-
souri,, in an address yesterday before
the District Advisory Board Of the
American Automobile Association.
stated that he was amazed that the
Federal Government, while giving
huge sums to highways in the ma
tional parks throughout the country,
neglected to give any money at all for
streets and highways in the National
Capital. The meeting was held at the
Willard Hotel.
Instead, he declared, they are seek
ing to raise motor vehicle taxes here.
Because some States pay z cents
gallon in gasoline taxes, there is no
reason why the District should do so.
The levy should be based upon what
revenue is actually needed here for
highway and street building and
maintenance. Estimates based on
anything else would bring diversion
that much nearer, he said.
20 Per Cent Diversion Charged.
Maj. Britton stated that motor We
hicle taxes were at present being di-
verted nearly 20 per cent throughout
the Nation. In 1894, he said, more
than S163 100000 was diverted.
The speaker also stressed the need
for continuous enforcement of traffic
regulations as the best solution to
safety problems. There are some
drivers who are accident prone" he
said.
These incorrigibles' must be
weeded out, even If they amount to
5 per cent Of all drivers. There must
be proper driving and proper people
to drive" he concluded.
After hearing report to the effect
that licenses are automatically sus-
pended for exceeding 35 miles an
hour, regardless of whether the viola
tion occurred in 22-mile or 30-mile
zone, the board ordered an investi-
cation of alleged injustices in speed
ing cases.
Fears Defeat Of Program.
"We are mindful of the need for a
strong enforcement program without
fear or favor" the board said in a
statement, but from the food of COM
plants that have poured in there ap-
pears to be danger that the program
will defeat its own ends unless cor
rective measures are taken to do away
with inequities."
George Offutt, president of the
board, presided. John L. Vandegrift
was elected vice chairman. Richard
j. Murphy. manager of the Washing
ton Automotive Trade Association
urged the passage Of a proper lien
registration law in the District and
the recording of such at the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles and Traffic.

pal of the fifth division. praised the
