film version of Louisa May Al
colts beloved novel of New Eng

Little Theater for week yeSter-
day..
Produced when the now-famouS
battle, between Hollywood and the
Legion Of Decency was at its peak,
the picture was q direct answer to
charges that the screen was over
balanced with sex, gangsters and
sensationalisn. Although it was
lavishly produced and filled with
stars, it was so wholesome that
many showmen predicted it would
be the prize FLOP" Of the season.
Instead, it became a box office
sensation and resulted in a COM
plete reversal of movie producers
attitude toward public preferences.
The large cast includes Katha-
rine Hepburn as 10, Joan Bennett
as Amy, Jean Parker as Beth,
Frances Dee as Meg. Edna May

John BoIes to
Sing at Fox

John Boles, romantic singing
star in person, and on the screen
with wallace Beery and Barbara
Stanwyck in the thrilling picture,
"A Message to Garcia" will pro
vide Loew's Fox Theater patrons
with diverting entertainment for
the week starting Friday, May Is.
"A Message to Garcia" is an ab-
sorbing perturbation Of the true
adventure that changed the des-
tiny Of three nations and it brings
these three noted stars together
for the first time. Boles enactS
the role Of Lieutenant Rowan, the
hero who fights through Q jungle
hell and a dozen deaths to deliver
the aistory-making message to
Garcia; Barbara Stanwyck is the
rebel girl with whom he falls In
love and who reckleSsly plungeS
into the jungle with this daring
man she doesn't know. while Wal
lace Beery is a lovable, boisterous
scamp who swashbuckles in and
out Of state affairs.
Alan Hale Herbert Mundin,
Mona Barrie and many others
support these three stars.
In addition to the personal ap-
pearance of John BoleS, whom
screen audiences have seen in
many notable productions, the

Feminine allure in all its glory
Is presented by Lillian Dixon,

Mitchell. Miss Winters, a lovely
titian-haired lass, makes her debut
in Washington in this revue.
The comedy is placed in the
capable hands Of Fred Fails"
Binder, long time local favorite,
Mac Dennison and Sam Raynor.
An excellent quartette, the
BandolierS, furnish some barber

Stantaneous response from the
audience. The numbers were well
selected and ably rendered.
The chorus steps out above the
average as to youth and looks.

in it Is held to the recitation Of

Much interest Is being shown

by this group Of boys and girls,
who under Miss Burton'S direc-
tion gave such an interesting pre-

The study of the play, and the
characters by the group is fol-

own conception Of the characters
also. For "The Merchant Of Ven

the boys and girls to choose those

HOLLYWOOD, May Ii
Things have come to a pretty
pass. Paramount Is faced with
quite a problem at the moment
on whether or no to lift Jan Kie-
pura's contract option. His first
epic cost the company q million
bucks and so far has not made
the million back at the box office
plus which he has the type Of
temperament on the set that is
equivalent to IA metropolitan
divas all rolled into one-so what
to do.
All Is forgiven about Loretta
Young playing Ramona" She
appeared at Marion Davies fiesta
party in q black wig. that made
her look so beautiful that she
was positively the reincarnation
of Ramona only much more at
tractive than the original, I'm
sure.
The hair dressers didn't get
very much work in Romeo and
Juliet" because Norma Shearer
was the only lady in the entire
cast who had any hair. In them
days married ladies shaved their
beans to prove to the world they
had at some time or another en-
tered into a holy state Of matri-
mony. DamSelS wore their crown

sign board to announce to the
waiting gentlemen that they were

liet, being the only single lady in
The Washington times., 1936-05-11

A distinguishe d audience
gathered in the main ballroom in
the Mayflower last night to view
six documentary films. The
screening, which was by invitation
only, was under the direction Of
The Museum Of Modern Art Film
Library.
OF the six films, two are pure
advertising efforts, one by the
British Post Office and the other
by a French Railway.
OF the other four two are
brazenly government propaganda
Soviet and a German film
and the remaining two are propa-
ganda in a more interesting and
milder form.
The Soviet film, obviously
staged, shows the harvest in the
Ukraine, contrasting the plenty
and the peace Of present days to
the hunger and terror under the
Car. The German film, Triumph
Of the WILL" is frankly for the
glorification Of Herr Hitler.
BY far the two most outStand-
ing films, from the standpoint Of
interest and truth, are the British
film, "The Face Of Britain" and
the American film, THE Plow that
Broke the Plains"
In these two films profound
physical and sociological trends
are traced. These two films alone
of those on the program may be
