A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
F1owering Alone

l paSSed . vacant homestead
Where weeds had grown rank,
The orchard trees neglected,
The fences rotting plank.
The land unplowed, unharrowed,
Time-fretted and wind torn,
Whole fields of briary stubble
Instead of waving corn.
Yet near the broken porch rails,
As If kept sprayed and groomed.
A bush of fragrant lilacs
Luxuriantly bloomed.
A place by man abandoned.
Its paths . trackless clod;
Only the faithful lilac
Blooming alone for God.

WELL-ACTED STORY
They prove both points, it
seems to me, in a persuasive mar
rative, that cast OF former
Broadway veterans makes ring
with reality.
Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi
play the golden wedding couple.
The sons and daughters are en-
trusted to Thomas Mitchell, Minna
Gombell, Elizabeth Risdon and
Ray Mayer, with the "in-laws"
handled by Fay Banter and Porter
Hall. These members of Equity
know the business of acting right
down to the surface soil and I
commend Make Way for Tomor-
row" as a screen exhibit that posi-
lively shines with matured and
know-how talent.
Pa and Ma Cooper, when they
should be able to spend their re-
manning days in comfort and mu-
tual affection, find themselves un-
able to keep up payments on the
old homestead and the bank fore
closes.
This distressing situation is put
up to the children. George is

entS to third side-splitting offer
ing in Meet the MiSsus," which
comes to RKO Keith's on Wednes-

Dealing with the penchant Of
American wives for entering ma
tional contests, the story is said to
be a continual laugh-fest from
start to finish, and to offer the TWO
1avorites the finest opportunities
they have had to date in making
the public hilarity conscious.
Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are offered yearly by manu-,

River Trip to
Beech

The steamer Potomac is making
its regular moonlight cruises every
night with large crowds and will
make its regular trip next Sunday
to Colonial Beach.

lent shape now and hundreds are
expected to escape the heat by
taking the 140-mile cruise to Co
lonial Beach Sunday, which leaves
the Seventh and water, Streets
dock at 9 a. m. There's plenty OF
time for swimming, picnicking,
fishing or "what-have-you" at the
other end and free dancing on
the return trip. The boat arrives
back in Washington at 1880 p. m.
and makes its moonlight trip as
usual at 8:45.
The swing band Of Washington
namely Bernie Jarboe and his
"NighthawkS" have been causing
much comment on the Potomac
this year, blasting forth with
danceable rhythms in the best
swing fashion. There's plenty Of
room for you on the large dance
floor on the S. S. Potomac, too.

Season Opens
At Roadside

It's getting to be almost a ira
dition at the Roadside that in the
cast of the opening day each
season the newcomers will out
number the veterans by about
three to one.
This years inaugural production
of THE Wizard of the Waves"
launching the season on Monday
night, will present Veterans Denis
E. Connell, Ralph Fowler, Betty
Rice, Virginia True and Clarence
ReubSam in major roles, aided
and abetted by local actors max
ing their first appearance on the
barn theater stage.
Ralph Fowler has a tradition
all his own-he has appeared in
the first show each season since
the Roadside opened! In 1.-THE
Octoroon," 1884, he was a kind
friend of the heroine; in After
Dark" 1885, he was the unfortu-
nate hero in the clutches Of an
evil man; and in last seasons
Around the World in 80 Days"
he was the many-costumed detec-
tive Fix! In The Wizard of the
Wave" he is both hero and vii
lain!
Dennis E. Connell is another Of
the originals" He played the
Conan role in THE Tavern" and
the title role in welcome to His
Excellency" in 1884; the following
season, Svengali in "Trilby," major
leads in Grand Gesture" and
THE Henrietta" And he starts
off 1887 as Spanish gentleman,
tortured by the memory of past
misdeedS!
AS a gay Spanish tavern hostess,
Betty Rice goes into a fourth year
as one of Roadside's most versatile
actresses. At various times, she
has played an old colored nanny,
French cook, and voice of the
400"

'PARNELL' AT CAPITOL
Posteur'
With MUM
At Met

Some motion pictures like rare
old wines improve with age. With
in a year since it was first issued
the Warner Brothers classic,
STORY of Louis Pasteur," has won
for its star. Paul Mum, the Acad'
envy Award. This was as it should
be. A second view Of the film
shows the reviewer a brilliant per
Torrance.
Directed by william Dieterle,
this tale Of a man so brave as to
dare and strain his utmost to-
wards proving his theories, con.
trasts every sort Of emotion
known to cinema audiences.
Pasteur was no fool, but in seek
ing to exploit his beliefs in medi-
cal science he found himself out
on q limb, scoffed at by all the
world. OF all the deriders none
CALLED the young unknown as
uluCn hS bA1S AduS44o VI N41oA bO4G-
net, brilliant rival.
Courage plays perhaps the big
gst factor in the makeup Of such
men as Louis Pasteur. Without
this and without the steadfast love
of q more than patient and under
standing wife, the discouraged
man might have given up to de-
feat.
Paul NUM- does a sincerely beau
tiful piece Of acting as the far
seeing young chemist. In many
G the pictures powerful scenes he
completely dominates the occasion
with quietness and force. His Is
the ability to underplay rather
than overact. He has his long
years Of stage training to thank
for this. ...-.s,. e.,
Supporting players are Jose
phine Hutchinson as the patient
wife, Fritz Leiber as Charbonnet,
Anita Louise, Donald Woods and
Porter Hall. If you were unfor-
tunate enough to miss this last
year, see it now. If you saw it
last year, then by all means see
It again. This is the screen in
one of its better moments. -

''GoveHimGun'
At Columbia

From the grim horrors OF war
time France to modern gang flare
ups is some jump. The motion
picture industry makes the leap
easily enough and despite the in.
congruity of it all "They Gave
Him A Gum Is pretty good cine
matte fare.
Certainly the opening moments
are one Of blood n thunder and
begin by painting a stark picture
Of the grin1ness of all that lies
behind the munitions plants.
However, with the conclusion Of
the wartime moments there is a
most considerable let down. The
three stellar players, Spencer
Tracy, Gladys George, and Fran
chot Tone, certainly are more de-
serving than the roles and situa.
tons they are unwittingly forced
into.
OF the three Tracy manages to
convey q naturalneSS that fits his
part. AS different as any Of the
previous characters he has offer
ed he makes this one remain in
your mind the most vivid in the
picture. Tone doesn't do so we'll
he gets a bit out Of focus with q
touch Of hysteria.
Nevertheless despite its failings
the film strikes a note Of true
warning to the youth Of today
who might take their war with
more of the glory than it right
fully deserves. War is horribly
real and any attempt at glorifi-
cation is cheap sensationalism.?
Added attractions are News Of
the Day, and two novelties, Comic
Artists Home Life, and Orna-
mental Swimming.

The Washington times., 1937-06-12

This reviewer finds hlmSelI IN
accord, for the most part, with the
drama editors thorough appraisal
, Of the film which appeared on this
page a few days ago. The story
of the "Uncrowned King Of Ire
land" who forsook the leadership
of the Irish party for his love OF
q beautiful Katie O'Shea does not
follow too closely the historic
account Of the romance nor the
stage version which was seen here
last winter.
Gable Is 'Parnell"
History has been sugar-coated
and many Of the sordid sidelights
Of the romance CLOSED over, just
as the romance Of the former
King Edward and Wallis Warfield
probably will be given idyllic
treatment by the movie-makerS q
few years hence.
Clark Gable, Of course, cuts a
fine figure and makes a superla-
tive lover of Parnell and Myrna
10y is a most alluring Katie
O'Shea. Whether Gable quite
lives up to Parnell's reputation
as an orator and statesman is
another matter.
Many Of the scenes are splen-
.didly directed, particularly the
debates on home rule in Parlia-
ment, Parnell's welcome to Ire
land and the subsequent "trial'
for. murder. The scene wherein
Parnell appeals in vain to his fol-
lowers to stick by him in spite
Of the messy divorce scandal into
which he has been projected also
Is highly effective.
Edna May Oliver plays Katie
O'Shea's sympathetic Aunt Ben
and Billy Burke has the role of
her prudish sister, Clara. Alan
Marshall makes thoroughly an.
noying figure. Of Captain O'Shea,
who dragS his wife into a divorce
court to wreak vengeance on Par
nell.
There are a host Of character.
iStic Irish figures, politicians and
others, who give an authentic back
ground to the narrative. 'l

New Program
At Trons-Lux

The Dionnes are stealing the
spotlight right away from the
most seasoned Hollywood artists,
as witnessed by the overflow
crowds at the Trans-Lux. Every
nook and corner of Washington's
news theater was filled with adj
miring throngs come to pay re-
spects to those most famous and
charming quintuplets. "A Day
With the Dionnes" aptly de-
scribes the story. DR.. Allan
Dafoe presents his charges in a
routine day and such a day.
From the moment they peek
around the corner Of a door to
the time they bid the good doc
tor eau Revoir" and Goodbye, "
the captivating little 3'year-oldS
are the idols of their audience.
Another bit of news, the first
pictures of the wedding of the
Duke and Duchess of windsor,
gain favor. Comprehensive, in
teresting, they provide a brief
resume of the world-famous love
story, that of a King who gave
up a throne for the woman he
loved.
Ice-skating at st. Moritz by some
of the most agile and skillful skat-
ers in the world affords an en-
joyable short novelty. Grace and

dren from Spain landing in safety

a gay group of our own youngsters

grams to date. H. K.

U11l11ouG CIldCGIuCALs
The only fault that this re-
viewer found with the picture last
night was that it was too funny.
New gags are fired while the audi
ence is laughing from a previous
one. In this way, fear, I missed
a few. For this picture is, with
out a doubt, one of the most con-
SiStently funny ones ! have ever
seen.
Dialogue Is Brilliant
The dialogue, also, is brilliant
throughout, and those who like
wit and comedy done in the best
of style, will find their bread and
meat, and wine, too, in this play.
It. is risque without being
naughty. The touch of paprika is
added with the def touch of a
master and I do not believe that
even the old lady from Dubuque
would find anything in this flicker
to acutely embarrass her.
Claudette Colbert is cast here
in the very sort of role for which
she is fitted. She signs little too
heavily, but outside of this minor
irritation does a very fine job as
Kay Denham, the department
store employe who saved I'D for
years to have her fling in Paris.
Melvyn Douglas Good
Melvyn Douglas contributes a
perfect Characterization as George
Potter, the polished and suave
playwright, while Robert Young,
in the part of the young and
philandering married man, is gay
and effective. 49,,
The Alpine scenes in this film
are noteworthy and I would be
remiss in my duties as a re-
porter If I failed to advise you
to see them, and view at the same
time one Of the funniest films
Of the year. ca
Lucas Orchestra On Stage
On the stage, Clyde Lucas and
his orchestra present a varied pro-
gram in which two Latin-American
rhumbaS scored a very heavy hit
with the audience, as did the pea
nut Vendor" played on the ma
rimbaS and guitars, as an encore.
But while the novelty of the Latin
American numbers ensconced
them in the position of favorites,
the orchestra did well by several
purely American compositions.
ITO a Wild Rose" featuring a
choir of violins, was beautifully
and effectively played. 30. !.
The full orchestra numbers are
done in a pleasing manner and,
in short, I find that like the
Lucas orchestra far better than
most Of those I have heard. ia
Melissa Mason, in a comedy
dance, also scored heavily. Miss
Mason has quite stage person
atty and, despite her emphasis on
a funny gawkineSS, has plenty Of
stage attractiveneSS.
There is also "PanSy," the won

ton fans through previous visits,
but still as rib-tickling as ever.
