Tale
For Earle

"China Clipper" the Warner
Bros. film inspired by the famous
airship, comes to the Earle Theater
Friday, September 4. On the stage,
Bob Crosby and his radio orches-
ira will present their popular melo-
dies in Swing" tempo.
Pat O'Brien heads the cast in
China Clipper" which was writ
ten by Commander Frank Wead,
author of Ceiling Zero" While
the story itself is fiction, much of
it was based on the hazardous
flight of the real China Clipper.
William I. Van Dozen, of Pan
American Always, acted as tech
nical adviser.
Beverly Roberts heads the sup
porting cast, playing opposite
O'Brien as the wife who cannot
understand his dreams of some
day establishing an airline that
will encircle the globe. Ross
Alexander and Humphrey Bogart,
as O'Brien's assistants; Marie Will
son, Henry B. Walthall, and
Joseph Crehan are among the
players. Raymond Enright di-
rected this exciting production, a
new chapter in the pictorial his
tory of daring feats of aviation.
Bob Crosby scored a solid hit a
year ago when he appeared on the
Earle stage with the Dorsey
Brothers Orchestra. Now he re-
turns as the leader of his band, a
swing" combination which has
won a wide following on the air.
Featured entertainers will include
Ray Bauduc, Eddie Miller, "Nappy"
Lamare, Ray and Grace MacDon-
aid, 1.-The Future Estairs' and
others.
Newsreel and short subjects will
round out the program for the
Earle.

on Peggy

What about this Peggy O'Neale
of "The Gorgeous Hussy"? Here
are a few historical facts, not in
cluded in the picture now show
ing at Loew's Palace Theater,
with Joan Crawford as the
glamour girl"
Peggy Eaton was the first
woman to exert an important in
fluence on American politics.
At II, Peggy was known as a
society belle. Two military officers
fought duel for her hand then;
but she declined both. The whole
course of her life was influenced
by a flower pot. When she was Is,
she tried to elope with an Army
captain by climbing out OF her
bedroom window. But in doing so,
she upset flower pot on the win
dow ledge, and it fell to the pave
ment below with such crash
that her parents were awakened.
She had three husbands. The
first committed suicide. The sec
ond died a natural death. The
third one married her when she
was 70, deserted her day after
wards, and then eloped with her
granddaughter
Her first husband, John Tim
berlake, left his accounts in bad
shape largely because John Eaton,
her second husband, hadn't cred
tied him with remittances.

tempest.
Although three centuries sepa-
rate us from ShakeSpeareS time
hundreds of phrases from his plays
are still in everyday use. Realiz-
ing this, the drama editor Of The
Washington Times and Norman
w. Pyle, of Observation-Disclosures,
have devised novel contest offer
ing $50 in cash prizes and 20
tickets to Romeo and Juliet"
which opens at the National
Theater Sunday evening, Septem-
Der 6, as a reserved seat, road
show attraction. Norma Shearer
and Leslie Howard are starred as
the immortal lovers.
The contest rules are simple.
Each day there will appear on
the drama page of The Times
five well-knoWn quotations from
Shakespeare. One will be taken
from Romeo and Juliet" You
must find out which it is and then
find from what plays the other
four were taken. When you have
identified each days quotations
send them all to The Romeo and
Juliet Contest Editor, care of
Washington Times.
Neatness and originality will be
considered, and the decision of
Mr.. Kelley and Mr.. Pyle as judges
will be final. All entries must be
in nv rnidnioht
The first five quotations are:
Something is rotten in the
State of Denmark"
ITO make virtue of neceS-
sity."

"It'S a wise father that

First prize is SIS; second, $40:
third, IS; and the ten runners
up each will receive a pair of
tickets to see Shakespeare's
great romance Romeo and
Juliet" when it plays at the
National Theater.
So get busy and watch for to-

strands are tied into a solid knot.
Thus God rules in the light of an
ultimate plan. In Christ He will
restore the world to its original
harmony. This sublime doctrine
Paul outlines in the first three
chapters.
In the last three chapters this
conception is presented as the key
to the Importance of the church.

alike. Such brotherly love,
through the work of the church,
will extend in overwhelming cir

1t is in the light of this grand
philosophy that we are to under

the eloquent final chapter. Here
is described the Christians armour.
Like a captain instructing his men
on the eve of a crucial battle, Paul
gives to his fe~llowsoldiers a de-

face, the forces they must over
come, and the full equipment they
must wear in order to acquit them
selves VIGOROUSLY. His exhortation
is we'll summarized in the stirring
