HAIR WINS OUT | OVER REALISM;
 CAPITOL DRAMA
Stephen Foster Life and Melodies Ba sis for
 Coliseum Film

Motion picture producers, who are sticklers for realism, are willing to admit that there is point where you can push the passion for lit cralnscs too far. That point arrived durir the production of 20th Gen. tury' Under Two Flags which comes Sunday to the Capital Thea Ire, in which Ronald Coleman Claudette Colbert, Victor McLaglen and Rosalind Russell have the four outstanding roles.
 When the male stars of this story of the burning Sahara were pre- sented to Otto Steiger, the teehni- cal expert, for approval, MT. Stei- ger had one criticism.
 They have too much hair" he said. Tn the Legion, every man has his hair cropped close to his head"
 The result was so much excite ment and commotion at the thought of Ronald Coleman with T crew clip that MT Steiger allowed there could be literary license in a pie ture."
 Tt isn't essential to the picture. he admitted so We can overlook the point After all, if you follow de- tails too closely the results are not always interesting"
 Under Two Flags" is stirring marital story from the famous nov el by Ouida Thousands of extras were used in the production and 20th-Century Fox speared no pains in bringing this famous spectacle drama of love and war to the screen once again.
 Based on the life of Stephen Col lins Foster, the great American com poser, whose compositions of planta- ton life in the Old South have earned him a permanent place in Americas musical hall of fame Harmony Lane" coming tomorrow 10 the Coliseum Theatre, portrayf the career, the suspicious beginning and the tragic ending of the mar whose songs have been loved for years, but whose life is popularly known but little.
 The most noted of Fosters mel odies, My Old Kentucky Home oh! Suzanna," Old Black Joe, Weep No More My Lady" and "Swanee River" are featured in the picture.
 The cast, headed by Douglass Montgomery, whose performance as Poster is noteworthy, includes Eve ! lyn Venable, Joseph Cawthorn, and William Frawley, who gives one of the best characterizations in the picture.

She was the image of the portrait of Marguerite of Navarro in the Louvre. Was she descended from that line? Why, yes and she'd understood vaguely that back in the family history there was g title, but
 The upshot was that MT. Levee declared he would investigate upon his return to France Back to the War of the Roses and beyond he went, and according to his reports to her, there is no doubt that she is sole heiress to the medieval duke dom

PedcstridI1s, Organize!

It would be enlightening to
ascertain how Chairman Palmi-
sano, Of the House District Com.
mittee, is going to arrive at a
solution of our traffic problems.
Especially since he is quoted in
the press as being opposed to
underground parking areas, and
underground ramps for pedes-
trians who wish to get over a
street safely.
It would seem from the con-
gestion of automobiles within
District limits that it is very i'm.
portant that at least under
ground safety ramps for pedeS-
trianS should be installed at in
tersectionS Of main highways
where motor vehicle and railway
traffic is its heaviest during
business hours.
It is to be regretted that the
pedestrian is the least protected
of any group in the country.
Unorganized. the pedestrian re-
sorts to his pen or to his type
writer. if he owns one, to write
a letter to the editor of the
newspaper, demanding safety
for himself and others, and, at
the same time, hoping that pub
lie officials will "do something
about it," Unfailing, when pub
lie officials fail him by ignoring
his plea, the poor pedestrian
continues to cry out for protec-
ton. He bangs at the door Of
