SPECIf.L PREMIERE
"Cloistered' is said to present
magnificent photography, and, en-
tirely apart from its religious
aspect, has genuine value as digni-
fled movie entertainment, having
played a two weeks engagement
at Loew's Valencia Theater in Bal
timore and being booked by the
entire circuit of neighborhood
houses in the RKO-chain.
For the Rialto Theater opening
next Tuesday night, sponsored by
one of the Catholic organizations,
the admission price will be $1.50.
After this special premiere and
beginning Wednesday, March 8,
the regular Rialto Theater scale

Personalities in the news: Mrs.
Olga Hilliard and Pepi D'Albrew
will be married on Thursday, after
which, and all this is supposed to
be secret, mind you, they will cele-
brate with a very large party,
which will do double duty as a
wedding celebration and as Pepl's
birthday Blanca de CaStejon,
one of Spain's most famous ac-
treSseS, got out of the revolution
by the skin of her teeth and is now
being tested by the Hollywood
movies.
The little lady is one of the few
Spaniards to get any of her furni-
ture out of the country, because
'cleverly she informed the rebels
that she had sold everything to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and as they wanted no trouble
with America, they let her get
away with it.
Next fall on Broadway, theater-
goers will be treated to a new Moss

which will feature Clifton Webb

us Garbo trouble again, since she
is anything but sure she will sign
again with the studio. The ques-
ton is this, will she or won't she
sign with the studio, or will she go

ENGLISH HIT COMING
Hardie Meakin is busting off his
English flags. For RKO Keith's is
scheduled to play Fire Over Eng

Patrick's Day comes that week,
too. But skip it.
This picture is heralded as the
finest celluloid ever made by
Alexander Korda. 1t has already
won the League of Nations gold
medal, and I trust the League
interest can do more for Mr.. Meak-
ms ornate Fifteenth Street box
office than it did for Ethiopia.
Mr.. Meakin would have you
know that Fire Over England"
has been booked by Radio City
Music Hall for the week of March
5, a significant fact only because
that ornate Rockefeller palace in
New York takes only features that
assay 24-karat gold after screen
ing.
1t is made from A. E. w. Ma
sons novel, and 1 found that a
splendid piece of fiction.
With England's Queen Eliza
beth as the central and dominat-
ing figure, Fire Over England"
is a romance-tinged historical
drama.
Welding imaginative speculation
to authentic fact, it depicts the
historical and political events and
the personal relationships con-
tingent thereupon that led to the
destruction of the Spanish Ar
mada. Expensively produced and
conVincingly played by the all.
British cast, it gains its realism by
sticking closely to naturally dra'
matte historical fact, and while
these incidents endow the film
with stirring thrill action charac-
ter, they are carefully controlled
in order that they may not pre-
dominate too greatly over the per.
Sonal romance and drama.
Alexander Korda was so proud
of his picture he took it direct to
Hollywood for his preview screen
ing. There in Grauman's Chi

and-orchid crowd of stars agreed

 Regardless of what you weigh or how tall you are, your stomach should be flat. Once you have cor- rected yoru posture. halt of this battle is won.
 Stand before a full length mir- TOT and look at your body from all angles. Is there an exagger- ated hollow in the center of your back? If so, the chances are ten to one that your stomach pro- trudes and that your hips look larg- CT than they actually arc.
 Now walk over to wall and standing about eight inches away from it, place the center of your back firmly against the flat sur- face. Never mind about shout. ders. Concentrate on that hollow for few minutes.
 AS you press your spine back ward, thereby flattening it, pull stomach up and in and elevate the chest. Now, very gradually, of course. flatten all of your backbone against tile wall, raise arms above head and make shoulders touch the wall, too. Lower arms. keeping shoulders and spinal column fiat and straight. Notice that your hips tilt forward now. Hold the posi- tion a few seconds. Relax and re- peat.

June's Bride Gets Married In Style Within Budget
Garden Ceremonies
 Reduce Cost of Gown and Setting
BY MARIAN YOUNG


 New York-If she follows the ad- vice of fashionists, this years June bride can have a veritable picture book wedding, including flowers, music and all the fixings, without making Dad mortgage the old home stead or forcing little sister to wear made-over clothes for three years after the great event.
 The experts are using cotton lace, muslin, eyelet batiste, handkerchief linen, organdy, silk organdy and voile-all much less expensive than bridal satin - to make wedding gowns which are truly glamorous And they point out that June is the month to get married in a garden or on somebody's beautiful porch or in a drawing room with sunlight pouring through the open doors and windows Any one of these back grounds makes a wedding cost less than one in church, yet will be just as impressive!
 The bride with excellent taste but a limited budget should make up her mind, first of all, that she can be as lovely in muslin or dotted Swiss as in satin or taffeta. There's not a bit of use in planning an inexpen- sive wedding if the entire family is going to feel apologetic about it or if the bride wishes the muslin would turn to satin.
 Family Garden Can Furnish
 Beautiful Bridal Bouquet
 Flowers, informally in keeping with less pretentious fabrics and a natural setting, are no problem at all. An armful of roses, delphinium mixed with white phlox, a spray of peonies, shower bouquet of white sweet peas for the bride and cor sages of vari-colored ones for the maids-these are lovely and can be found in mothers own garden. h. cidentally, pale pink sweet peas, mixed with a few climbing rosebudS in deeper pink would be beautiful And what bride would worry about lack of orchids or camellias if the backyard garden is filled with glad iolas and dahlias?
 Even if she has to cut all sorts of corners on nearly everything else, every little bride deserves one real ly beautiful set of lingerie, includ- ing nightgown with matching jacket and an elegant negligee. When it comes to these items, there's no substitute for lace trim med silk Sheers and silk crepes. The loveliest trousseau underwear of the moment is positively dripping with delicate lace or lace edgings.

 q think it's a mosquito bite," I suggested.
 Well" she said, you have to hook them off or they'll buzz you" And she made a sweeping motion with her tie fat hand.
 Hook 'em off" ,erb. I thought her word exactly i.ght. And her "buzz" was rather good, too
 Almost in the same breath, and apropos of nothing, she planted herself before me, hands behind back, and said earnestly, You're a nice one. You're nice, yes" And then she turned without talk ing a breath and said. "Where'd you get that?" meaning an elec- tric fan on table.
 Her mind jumps from this to that faster than one can easily follow, but she knows just what she is saying. And not for worlds would I discourage that happy prattle, and the adventure into words. She is one of three grandchildren who are my dear est and loveliest friends.
 They are all here, little steps of humanity in dots of suits and dresses against the heat.
 Creation
 One, at the moment, is draw ing on the floor beside me. He is five. l am watching him from the corner of my eye. His flair for form is amazing. He is not copying, but drawing and color ing a tree. Now the red goes on in dots. Oh, a Christmas tree. And if you could see it, it might aStonish you. As symmetrical as clock. This morning he drew a steam shovel to the life. His big interest IS to make or draw things. We'll remember that, as early traits are important and can so easily be lost sight of through the years.
 Then, there is the baby, who trots around initiating the others. Yet she has her own ideas, too. I made them all crowns yesterday, but although the others wore theirs proudly, she lifted hers off her eufiis,y-and put on Mister" i" the black dog.

YOu1" Children By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Do not laugh at the wisdom of babes, or the funny words they use When one of them says, "It's a perfectly dangerous day." meaning gorgeous, merely look impressed, and agree that it is certainly fine wea- ther.
 Soon enough, they will learn the right words in the right place, but to smile, repeat or criticize will make them shy and afraid.
 We have a small visitor of three. She delights me beyond words.
 Today in the bathroom, she had splashed water everywhere with two blue glasses and well-filled bowl.
 I'm wetting the bunnies,' she said sternly, fixing me with great blue eyes. "They pop right up and bite the kids" never heard her say "kids" before.
 Words Splendidly Fresh
 In a minute she had followed me to my room to watch me dress. What's that?' she de-
