STRAND

Jean Harlow in Riff Raff" head lines the new program beginning a three-day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater today.
 She follows her smashing hit in China Seas" with another sparkling role, again the background of the sea, but in a vital, romantic story, which gives her the finest op- portunity of her career.
 Teamed with her for the first time is one of Hollywoods finest actors, Spencer Tracy, and the two miss no opening to get the most out of the powerful and sweeping story, which mixes the most hilarious comedy with the most touching pathos.
 The story of "Riffraff" invades a brand new locale, the commercial fishing fleet that plies the waters of the Pacific of Southern Cali fornia. Much of the story takes place in the fishing village adja- cent to the great California me- tropolis-a community affiliated with the city. yet entirely sepa- rated as though in a different world. There the fishermen and their families live their lives, and work out their destinies without contact with outside influences.
 Others in the case are Vince Bar nett, Joseph Calleia. Una Merkel, Mickey Rooney and J. Farrell Mac' Donald.
 The co-feature is "If You Could Only Cook" a comedy romance with Herbert Marshall, Jean Arthur and Leo Carrillo.

Standing in the Gap', Penned By Mrs. Guy Winston,
 At South Federated Church For Paint Fund

Standing in the Gap', written and directed by Mrs. Buy B. Win ston of Stiles street, will be pre- sented this evening at 8:l5 o'clock at the South Federated church by the Mems Brotherhood for the benefit of Paint Fund of the parish.
 The characters will be as follows: Molly ....... Mrs. F. Henry Payne Mary Frances .... Florence Dwyer Larry .............R Robert SturgeS David Masters ...... Irving Akins Judge Labon ..... Miller P. Dayton Jake ......... Arthur Hansen, ST. Aunt Jane ..... Mrs. Fred Benson Peter .................., Paul Tracy Joe, taxi driver Walter A. Rose
 The story centers around Mary Frances--Molly's girl, as she is call- ed. She lived with Molly in one of the poorest of the sltm sections of Philadelphia. As young girl, she resented bitterly the fact that she was nameless, and that they were forced to live as they didd be- cause of Molly's inability to earn better living. She determined to win respect for himself through study and hard work. Her ambition was realized in part when she be- came private secretary to Judge Labon, man of immense wealth, but entirely interruptions in busi- ness matters.
 In his office, she was associated with Larry, an orphan boy dis tantly related to the judge, and whom he had reared carefully as his son and heir. Becoming cognizant of the fact, the judge investigated and learned of Mary Frances back ground. He immediately dismissed her from his employ, and demanded that Larry give her up. Larry re- fused. The judge disowned him, and through his influence, made it impossible for either of them to find decent employment. This went on for several months until Mary Frances and Molly were reduced to actual want. They were behind in their rent, and the judge, who owned the tenement in which they lived, came himself to evict them.
 While they were waiting for him to return with the necessary au- thority, an opportunity presented it. self for Mary Frances to provide definitely for Molly's future, and to send Larry back to Judge Labon. The offer came through Jake, an underworld character who catered to Molly's appetite because of his interest in Mary Frances. It meant tremendous sacrifice, the giving up of every ideal for which she had striven, but she made her decision. Molly and Larry were heart-broken. Larry appealed to his friend, David Masters. 8 settlement worker, for help. He found Judge Labon there. endeavoring to persuade David to return to his own circle of friends and a very remunerative position. A storm of emotion broke over Larry at sight of the judge bitter resentment, sense of frus- tration. a realization of the greed and selfishnness and disregard for human personality that had precipi- tated the tragedy involving all of
