16 weeks after Lillian Hellman's
play in movie form, "These
Three" was generally released.
Three Men on a Horse" also
closed for good, unable to stand
the opposition from the Warner
Brothers screen version.
ABOUT THREE MEN"
Here are some interesting sta
tiStics issued by Producer Alex
Yokel on the stage version of
Three Men on a Horse" which
began its sensational run in Wash
ington two years ago.
The comedy that grew into a
hardy theatrical industry crossed
$3,000,000 in this country, $1,000,
900 abroad. The combined run of
all companies was $50 weeks,
which is something short of nine
years. At the height of its boom
authors royalties amounted to
$4,000 in one week and ran to a to-
tai of $3.50, 900. Three Men"
wound up in fifth place among
the long-run plays of the theater.
If it had remained five more
weeks on Broadway it would have
moved up one notch by passing
the performance record of THE
Bat"

venient to go to the theater, more
people will go--customers that
would not take the trouble to
come down town for amusement.
Zone Manager John J. Payette
can also show by graphs an d
charts that the growth of neigh
borhood theaters in this territory
has not exceeded the normal in.
crease in population. Proving that
Washington is not overseated.
Principal theater problem, in the
neighborhoodS, as we'll as down
town, is the parking situation.
If more curb space was avail
able for parking, there is no doubt
that theater attendance would go
up for all houses.
Will the addition of houses to
the neighborhood string operate
to reduce attendance in the down
town, first-run theaters? No, says
Mr.. Payette. There are thou
sands of regular movie fans who
want to keep right up to date
with the Hollywood product, thou.
sands more who want vaudeville
with their programs. There are
other thousands who make a din
ner and a theater evening once
a week an occasion. The down
town theaters get these latter
patrons because they are adjacent
to hotels and first-claSs eating
places.

Eleanor Holm
For Capitol

Eleanor Holm Jarrett, the water
nymph and two-time Olympic
champion who caused one Of the
greatest furores in international
athletics recently, will appear in
person together with her grooming
husband, Art Jarrett, at Loew's
Capitol Theater on Friday, Jan
uary 20.
When last in Washington Miss
Holm began training for the try
outs that would gain her a posi-
ton on her third Olympic team.
This time she returns as the most
discussed athletic champion in re-
cent history.
Eleanor Holm will offer a group
of vocal numbers, exchange ban
ter with her husband, join him in
a vocal duet and possibly reveal
the true facts behind her expul-
sion from the Olympic games.
Other acts will augment the
Holm-Jarrett offering.

BENNY AS "DISCOVERER"

Some day when I have little 10
do 1 proposed to find out whether
Gus Edwards or Benny Davis holds
the Discovery" championship.
Gus Edwards, before he retired
to rest on his laurelS, claimed to
be the vaudeville Columbus Who
discovered Eddie Cantor, George
JeSsel George Price and a hun
dred others who went on to glory
after he gave them a start.
Benny Davis claims Eleanor
Powell, Hal LIE Roy, and another
hundred or more who are today
getting rich in Hollywood, on the
radio, or in musical comedy.
do know this TO be the absolute
truth that if Benny Davis sponsors
the entertainment it is very apt to
be a good show, perhaps a great
one. For Benny Davis is tip-top
Snowman.
Invariably surrounded by a score
of ambitious youngsters, bursting
with enthusiasm and possessing
talent, Benny Davis emcees a fast
revNa. The top spot he saves for
himself, and while l always mark
him &C" as vocalist, when he
moves up on the medley of song
hits he has composed. audiences
generally break out in applause.
A round or two of vaudeville
dates with the Benny Davis revue
gives these beginners in show
business poise and assurance, they
acquire polish and knowledge of
how to sell what footlight goods
they possess, and some of them
get smart enough to know they
can get more money elsewhere. So
they graduate and Maestro Davis
finds new faces to take their
places.
One Of the current show stop
pers with the Davis revue now at
the Earle Theater is Paul Regan,
a Boston boy who is very clever as
a mimic. Major Edward Bowes
discovered this lad on one of his
amateur nights and he made a
tour with one of the Bowes units.
A salute then to Benny Davis.
I have never known him to de-
liver other than fresh, cellophane
wrapped entertainment for Loew
and the brethren Warner. He is
one of three precious box office
musketeers touring what's left of
vaudeville. The others are Ted
Lewis and Dave Apollon.
SHERIDAN OPENS
With the Sheridan Theater open
for customers, Warner Bros. now
have IS houses in Washington.

will make it 16.
Every house is a successful op-
Grafton and, strange to say, the
new Uptown Theater has not re-
duced patronage for the Ambas-
sador and Avalon, closest to the
new house. 1t has cut into the
Tivoli business slightly.
The cold facts and figures show
that each new neighborhood house
makes more movie customers. In
other words Warner Bros. can
prove that If you make it con-

Pens Song For
Inaugural

When Benny Davis comes to the
Earle Theater today with his Star
dust Revue, a feature of the pro,
gram will be a new song which
Davis has Just written.
The song was especially written
by Davis for the presidential in
auguration, and is dedicated to
President Roosevelt. 1t is called
-Four More Years in the White
House."
Benny Davis is we'll known as
the composer of hit songs, includ-
ing "Margie," Carolina Moon"

others.

How can you teIl?' Mr.. Roberts
persisted.
Peter gestured. "Guesswork. Or
maybe it's because I've lived on
farm so long"
Mr.. Roberts stroked his chin.
Others have lived on farms too.
How would you like a job predicting
the weather for my newspaper"
WHAT" said Peter.
Il own the Maplewood Citizen. 1t

country. Now If We had some one
who could accurately predict the
weather he would be invaluable to

stay here and run the farm
That's what I want you to do.
III pay you $40 week just to pre-
dict the weather You can use the

Say, mister, the school is out in the

each other often. You can come up
to the dances and things"
It'll be grand" said Betty, going
to dance with a man who can pre-
dict the weather and tell you what
to wear"
Mrs. Shankes smiled happily as
she packed Peters bags. Some

tall and straight and clear-eyed, she
thought with justifiable pride. She
went to the stove and looked at the
three apple pies that were in the
oven. Peter liked apple pie. He
liked other things too. Things that
he couldn't have. Since his father
had died the burden of the farm had
fallen on his youthful shoulders. He
wanted to be an engineer. He wanted.
also, to marry Betty Hapgood, who
lived in the village. but Betty hated
living on a farm. That was why she
was displaying an interest in Joel
Struthers, who was a travelling sales
man.
Mrs. Shankes sighed deeply, regret
fully. She wanted Peter to have what
he wanted. She was the type who
believed something good would be
bound to happen if you had faith
and didn't complain and were thank
full for your possessions. But right
now she couldn't think for the life
of her what that something would be.
An hour later some one raped on
the front door.
I'm sorry to disturb you" said
the man who stood there. MY cars
broken down. May use your phone?"
"Of course. Come right inside,
and if you're mind you can wait
here where it's cool till the garage
man comes"
The stranger was grateful He said
his name was Roberts. He used the
phone and then sat down in the
kitchen to await the arrival of the
garage car.
"sultry out" he remarked. Looks
like rain"
"'Twon't," said Mrs. Shankes. BE
clear in an hour. Peter says So"
Really? And who is Peter?"
Hes my son. And nice boy,
too. He las an uncanny instinct
for predicting the weather. Every
one around here depends on what he
says. Never knew him to fail yet"
But the official weather forecast
is for rain up here today
"Humph!" said Mrs. Shankes.

MR.. ROBERTS glanced from the
window. The leaden clouds
were thicker. They seemed ready to
let loose deluge.
Mr.. Roberts sat in the kitchen and
drank glass of milk and waited
for the garage car. When it arrived
a half hour later and he went out
side he noticed that the weather was
clearing. BY the time the mechanic
had finished his job the sun was out.
