PLEASE HAVE YOUR COM
PLANT READY

OF course II some one dropped
you on the floor and injured your
head when you were q baby you
can't help 1t now, but you can at
least try to behave intelligently
when you visit the doctor. On the
way to his office you might think
over your complaint, get It In hand
and be ready to tell him what 1t Is
when he asks you.
I don't mean to suggest that you
spring a Snappy answer. Doctors
nowadays do not lay themselves
open to that. They do not ask you
what your trouble is or what seems
TO be the matter with you today.
They ask you what you complain OF.
You had better expect that, so you
won't get ratified and founder about
and mutter that you're sure you
don't know. That Is exasperating TO
an earnest, busy physician.
Whatever your complaint may be
don't deny that you have q chief
complaint, the thing that causes you
to seek medical advice--you surely
know whether 1t has Just developed
this morning or whether you have
noticed 1t for two or three weeks or
for the past six years. Make up
your mind about the duration Of
the trouble and don't try 10 fend of
the doctors queries by answering
that 1t has been bothering you Tor
quite a while.
And for heavens sake forget the
remedies or treatments you have al
ready tired and the imposing sums
YOU have squandered on them. For
get also the patent Incompetence Of
the other doctors you have already
consulted. II your present doctor Is
any good at all he won't listen TO
such remarks. Confine your chatter
to your present complaint and try
TO answer any questions intelli-
gently. Then hold your breathe or
breathe In or breath out or say ah
or ninety-nine as the doctor may
request.

pared TO strip for examination. II
YOU are O woman, and the doctor
has no nurse in his ONCE, take

Is to the nature or proper man
agement Of your trouble. Tell the
doctor your symptoms. not what you
think they signify. It is his Job to
interpret symptoms or signs he ell
cts by examination. However, II
you feel on an even footing with
the doctor or II you think you know
as much as he does about your par
ticular trouble, you having had 30

Cohon Brings q
NeWConnedy
NextWeek

George M. Cohan is coming to
town, which makes everything
just dandy.
Monday night at the National
Theater he will appear In q play
Of his own writing, under his own
management and with himself
as the star This in any city. is
a treat. The vehicle is called
Dear Old Darling" and George
Cohan, in giving Washington a
glimpse at it before Broadway,
is a dear old darling
Dear Old Darling" has been
on tour eight weeks. 1t has met
with warm acclaim everywhere,
from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia.
In Philadelphia they were break
ing down the doors to see Amer
ica's First Actor. The critics pro-
claimed it his best play which Is
pretty good when one realizes
that Cohan has written some
hundred shows.
Surrounding the star are such
notableS as Charles D. Brown,
Ruth Shepley, Joseph Sweeney,
Theresa Maxwell Conover, Walter
Gilbert, Marian Shockley, Ben
Lakeland, Joseph r. Garry, Rey-
noldS DenniSton, Edna Holland,
Forrest Orr, Jack Williams and
Dan Carey. Mike Hirano, the
Good Man Friday of the Cohan
dressing room these many years, is
making his bow as an actor. There
are reports that he has made good
AS an actor. AS host he made
good years ago.
Dear Old Darling" as an enter
tainment, moves with speed and
precision, the laughs coming so
fast that an audience is compelled
to sit on the edge of its seats with
its ears wide open. 1t is, without
question, the fastest show in many
years, according to all reports.
The play tells of a retired buSi-
ness man who gets himself in
volved with a girl he met in
France. His sweetheart quits him
over the alleged affair and then
things begin to happen. Funny
looking cops and wide-eyed villains
pop out of all corners. It is the
Cohan audiences have known and
always will know. One twist after
another follows in true Cohan-
eSque style.
Sam Forrest did the directing;
Oden Waller designed tn? scenery
and B. F. Mcdonald constructed
it. Matinees are Wednesday and

Chotterton Is Screen Star,
Cortez on Earle Stoqe

The first lady Of the screen
comes back to washington after a
protracted absence. Film fans will
know from that line that Ruth
Chatterton is playing currently in
q screen play of dramatic tense
ness, tender love scenes and at
least one denunciation.
Warner Brothers Earle presents
"The Lady of Secrets" This is a
Katherine BruSh-Zoe Atkins story
of a beautiful girl who loved not
wisely but too well, as the long ago
novel used to put it. So when her
child was born, the girls father
brought up the two together as sis
tiers; they were happy companions
but there was a StrangeneSS about
the older girl, understood only by
her father, a tyrant. and her COM
panion, a woman who knew much
and said little.
AS the author puts It. the
younger girl falls in love with a
poor but proud doctor, and when
she Is discouraged by the young
medical man, she turns her atten-
tionS to another, older, wealthier
and wiser. Tragedy broodS over
the affairs Of this misfit house
hold and before the wedding bells
finally ring out, the brides have
changed places and peace settles
over the old homestead.
It's all rather trite, with a cut
back Of flashing bayonetS, pound
ing guns and charging men, to set
the date of the young mothers
romance; quite obviously, romance
is the theme, for the older girls
affair having ended sadly, she is
determined that such shall not be
the fate of the younger.
Ruth Chatterton is lovely but de-
serving of much better material:
Marian Marsh is also lovely to look
at but lacking the talent of the
older woman: Otto Kruger, Lionel
Atwill and Robert Allen are the
male support.
The stage offers a more varied
program for contrast with Aubrey
Seiber introducing the featured
players in turn. Ricardo Cortez
headlines with an act both anus
ing and dramatic; he has 'Stooge'
for the comic bits and then does
a scene from a forthcoming play;
yes, this is the same CorteZ who
played Garbo into her American
screen debut. Thelma Leeds, a
SongSter, has some new and old
songs which she sings with a pleas
ant manner and delightful voice:
Harry King and the Sinclair Twins,
exponents of rhythm dancing, are
clever and agile; the Nonchalants,
a trio of boys who tumble about
in attempted feats of strength

Cantor Fun Is
Held Over

Snow or no snow, Eddie Cantor,
in his newest, "Strike Me Pink, "
goes gaily into a second weeks
showing at the Palace. Merri-
ment, a lavish offering Of gor.
geouS girls, dances and catchy
tunes are the established order Of
all Cantor shows, whether 1t takes
place behind the footlghtS or be-
fore a camera.
This current release adhereS to
the usual tradition, only outdoing
all previous efforts. StupendouS
scenes follow one another, yet they
fade into minute nothingS when q
sad little banjoeyed comedian ap-
pears, sending you into gales Of
laughter with his plaintive prob
lens. The maddest comedy peaks
are reached with the scene Of Ed
die playing poker with an invisible
group Of ghosts.
Included in the cast Is Ethel
Norman, who contributes her sui
phuric personality and renders
some highly effective torch-sing-
ing. These numbers have been
cleverly aided with fine camera
work and interesting lighting.
Cantor and Miss Norman in
duet put over a carefree breezy
ditty. "Calabash Pipe" that sets
you whistling on leaving the the
ater. Others helping in this fun
infested musical are Sally EilerS,
ParkyakarkuS (of radio fame) i,
Brian Donlevy, William Frawley
and Helen Lowell.
Added attractions include a

and new Silly Symphony, Three

Noble SissIe
AtHOWOrd

Dazzling with mirth, rhythm
and symphonic jazz and led by
the inimitable Noble Sissle, the
internationally known ma .tro
and his band, the Howard The
ater opened yesterday for a
weeks stand with one Of the best
shows offered here this season.
Sissle, his orchestra and two
persons associated with the band,
Lena Horne and Billy Banks,
create riots of melodious fun from
the opening chorus down to the
finale. This girl, Lena Horne, is
a sepia good to look at, and does
some fine torch singing. Billy
Banks, a crooner of the first
rank, who would be a riot in any
body's show, sings and pulls a
few antic tricks.
Then there are the Three
Novels, trio of hooters. and
also the Three Dukes, in the
same dance business, adding to
the tap program of the show.
Both units are good and really
know what to do with their feet.
Buddy Doyle, a boy from the
deep South, does some clever jug
Cling with an oil lamp and a
glass of water. Princess White
does a blues number and comes
back for the usual encore.
The chorus led by Joan Miller
is a small size riot this week.
The SepiaS are dazzling with
speed, and really show some class
in special number. "The But
terfly." All in all, the show is
top notch.

faculty Of endowing any role she
undertakes with a quality of
wholesomeness add appealing
charm. Being a splendid actress
besides she manages to convey
the impression that Cicely is
noble of purpose, fortnight in
her desire to achieve on her own
hook and completely modern in
her outlook. Sometimes I wished
she were less lovely and had more
common sense, but always I liked
her. It marks one of the best
characterizationS in the SULLIVAN
portrait gallery.
GOOD LEADING MAN
That "Next Time We Love" is
literate and engroSsing entertain
ment Is due much to sparkling
dialogue and to skilled directorial
touches applied by Edward H.
Griffith-the same director who
made Holiday" and Rebound"
such well hammered and intel
ligent films.
Universal introduces a young
actor of great promise. James
Stewart, to play the role Of Chris
topher. He is a youth who
realizes the value of under
emphasis and has a fine idea of
how to express emotions and
visualize feeling. Watch him.
Others who assist worthily are
Ray Milland, Grant Mitchell,
Robert McWade, Anna De Metric,
and Rennie Crosby.
If you want to laugh, and cry,
and sigh a little with the TylerS,
who ought to have had the world
on a string, but didn't then brave
the deep snow and enjoy Next
Time We Love-"
Subsidiaries include a news reel
with King Georges funeral and
cartoon comedy,

Racket Story
At Met

Fantastic beyond average con-
ception is the plot Of "You May
Be Next" And yet, strange as it
all seems, parts Of this film are
based on the actual happenings
that went to make up some Of
last years headlines.
A quite different angle on the
ever-popular gangSter VS.. the law
cycle, this picture is filled with
thrills to the very ending. On the
same ball are particularly inter
eSting views Of the 1896 Rose Bowl
game, a Paramount News Reel,
and q technicolor comedy King
Of the Islands"
Accidental jamming Of the
short wave of a radio sending set
and immediate ruination Of all
programs forms the basis Of q
racketeer'S schemes. This clever
individual alway on the lookout
for way to make a dishonest dol
lar kidnaps a young radio pro
moter and begins his plans.
Capitalizing on the young pro-
moter's fight with his boss, 30
plays havoc with radio programs
right and left using his victim as
screen. It is only with the jam
ming and interfering Of navy de-
Stroyers at sea does the picture
take on the absurd proportions Of
q comic strip serial.
Bounded by our proSaic every
day SanitieS and senSibilities we
cannot bring ourselves to swallow
this. And yet with the infinite
possibilities given to radio it can
be a decided actuality, serving .
warning to all.
Technically the picture leaves
nothing to be desired. The cast
consisting Of Lloyd Nolan, Johnny
Arledge, Ann Sothern, Burton
Churchill, and Douglas Dumbrille
all acquit themselves creditably.
Mentioned last Dumbrille deserves
top rating for his very capable
playing of Bo, master william.

Jackie Cooper in Tough Guy
Lompkin Revue at Fox

Tough Guy" current feature
picture at the Fox, proves to be
terrific strain on ones credulity,
but it has its points. 1t is senti'
mental, loosely constructed at
places. full of hokum from begin
ming to end, and yet it unlooses
some few minutes of terrible sus-
pense and stages dow brow that I
am) one Of the most beautiful,
h man, knock-down-drag-out
fights I have ever seen.
Jackie Cooper, the boy wonder,
is advertised as the star Of this
flicker, but that honor really be.
longs to Joseph Calleia. The plot
starts out with the boy and his
dog, but from the time that Cal.
leia steps into the picture as Joe,
the tough guy, it is his story. The
boy and dog recede to the status
Of motive only for Joe's actions.
Beautiful Characterization
Mr.. Calleia in this picture, in q
role that is fundamentally incon.
sistent, does one Of the best char
acterizationS I have ever seen,
playing plausibly and realistically
a character that I cannot believe
could ever exist.
Jackie Cooper does a very good
job as the runaway boy and Rim
Tin-Tin, jr., is miracle.
1t is worthy Of note that no
women appear in the cast. It
is a mans picture in which the
Undiscovered Omen go to grips
with a gang Of thugs.
There is suspense, excitement
and action aplenty. There is
also an obvious disregard at times
Of plausibility and logic.
Varieties On Stage
Phil Lampkin's Varieties hold
the stage. The Fox musical di.
rector has assembled an aggrega-
ton Of versatile artists who offer
a program as rich in entertain
ment as it is in variety.
Opening up with the Honey
Family, who do a dazzling turn
of acrobatics, it progress es
through song numbers, inStru.
mental numbers and tap dancing,
to Mr.. Joe Burke, a real come
dian. His comedy veerS near
the line at times, but is rich with
laughter and his turn with the
orchestra is one of the funniest
things on the program.
Ruthie Barnes does rhythmic
tap dance in white silk pajamaS
a-glitter with metal. Her tap
dancing is surprisingly clever, a
staccato barrage which she fades
away at times to a whisper.
Miles and Kover offer two turns
Of dancing. Their latter mum.
ber, an Oriental one, is colorful
and daring, but is excellently ex.
ecuted.
Local Acts Offered
Ken Harvey does some very
fancy banjo playing, offering.
among other numbers. the Rhap-
sody in Blue, sounding strange
on the banjo, but well played
nonetheleSS. His imitation Of the
train is a very clever stunt.
Four local acts are offered in
the current search for home tai.

taken by a young lady who sang

The news reel features George

vious advice he gave to Amer

didn't follow it. Some excellent
shots of the funeral service of
the late King George are also

LOVE is NEGLECTED
AS it turns out Cicely becomes
q stage star and Christopher fol-
lowing his profession, becomes
noted foreign correspondent.
Their paths are in opposite di-
rections, and, while their love is
both tender and genuine, it has
q difficult time in flaming under
continual separation. In eight
years they are apart most Of the
time and the usual and expected
misunderstanding develop.
OF course you feel q little
sorry for these clever and sue
cessful young people, but you also
can't help feeling that a little
willingness to sacrifice might have
turned their lives into Q cheer
full, rather than q fearful ad-
venture.
