In addition this Cosmopolitan
picture at the Earle Theater is
bound to make the movie world
conscious of Charlie Winninger.

Perhaps YOU have heard about

him up after he has emerged from
retirement and decided to take a
new hold on his business affairs.
He doesn't like the fact the Of

with theories about big business

first things Cappy does is hire Bill
Austin, a veteran who lost a leg in

high speed incident, before Cappy
Kicks says to Bill, "You win"
BAND MAKES A HIT
You're cheering for Bill Austin
from the first reel, which makes it
easy for George Brent, who plays
him. Charlie Winninger'S chubby
countenance, his silvery locks,
twinkling eye and robust laugh, fit
perfectly the role of Cappy Kicks.
He shouts, he sputters, and he acts
as tough as a cafeteria steak, but
you know that his heart is as big
as the skyscraper that bears his
name, that he likes those who play
the game on the square. It Is a
nice study in kindness and un.

Echo Pool

Washington's only outdoor
amusement and recreation center,
Glen Echo Park, opens its $780,
900 Crystal Swimming Pool at noon
next Thursday and it will be open
daily from $50 A. M. until 1880
at night every day thereafter.
Glen Echo with its more than
so features will be running in sum-
mer style then, with all of its other
attractions and amusements open
daily from noon until midnight
with the exception of the Span
ish Garden Ballroom which oper-
ateS as always from 9 p. m. until
midnight every week night.
The Glen Echo pool has accom-

spacious rooms of private lockers.
The 100000 gallons of Sterilized
city water that fill the pool, of
which there are four units, is con-

AstOire Movie
Third Week
At Keith's

"Shall We Dance" the latest
musical presentation of the now
famed team, Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers, goes into a third
week at Keith's T'heater. Not
only does this feature boast these
two opponents of the dance, but
it also brings to the foreground
one of the most graceful and
charming artists of the stage, the
lovely Harriet Hector. Few pos
sess the rare talent which charac-
terizes Miss Hooters perform
ance.
AS If three of the finest dancers
of the day were not enough, Ed
ward Everett Horton and Eric
Blore lend a comedy touch which
adds variety to the always popu-
lar hits. Doubtful if any more
mirth-provoking scene could be
conjured than that which shows
the dron Mr.. Horton suffering the
effects of supposed SeasicknesS.
Shall We Dance" then is an
amusing entertainment, probably
funnier than most, but not as
tuneful.

Midnight Sail
On Potomac

The first midnight moonlight
cruise of the season will be held
tonight, when the steamer Poto-
mac sails for a three-hour trip
with the sensational Rita Rio and
her all-girl orchestra.
This is a special Farewell to
Rita Rio" celebration, and a glori.
Gus time is promised for all aboard.
Rita Rio leaves for Hollywood
about June /. so this will be her
final appearance in this territory
for quite some time. ReServa-
tons are being accepted at the
Potomac River Line dock at Sew
enth and Water Streets Southwest
for this gala occasion.
Speaking Of cruises, what finer
way to spend relaxfuI and enjoy
able Sunday than to take the
Sunday afternoon cruise to Guam
tico that the steamer Potomac has
on schedule for this Sunday at
2 p. m.
A beautiful 75-mile water trip
along the lovely Potomac River
that offers a delightful four.anG-
a-half-hour trip with free dane
ing to a fine orchestra and a
chance to see the sights along the
historic shores of the Potomac.
These Sunday cruises proved
very popular last year, and with
new loud-speaker system to carry
the music over the entire boat, it
should make an even more enjoy
able trip. Leave after Sunday
dinner and home again in time for
supper. The dining room aboard
is open for those who wish to lunch
aboard.
The boat leaves the Seventh and
Water Streets Southwest dock at
2 p. m. for this Sunday afternoon

Norma Shearer is beautiful as

more than any other, looked the

may lose from the standpoint of
youth, makes up for it in the rem

The movies have essayed Shake

with each trial the film makers

pictorially, had ever seen.
But, despite what bored pro-

truths that have usually re.
manned behind closed doors.
The extent to which medical
ethics can go is shown. Unfor.
tunately, it might serve to create
the impression that most doctors
are lot of SNUG and mercenary
n en-. These traits are strongly
emphasized by most of the ply
Sicians of the Stanwood Hospital,
where most of this story takes
place.
DR.. Dan Norris, resident physi-
clan of the hospital, Is revolted
by all he sees about him. Re
volted, but powerless, inasmuch
as he IS in love with the daugh-
ter of the hospitals head.
The story goes so far in its in:
dictment, however. it is forced
to slow down with an anticli.
matte scene in the trial instituted
against the hospital by hysteri'
cal mother. The entire charac.
ter of Norris turns about and
leaves one mystified as to why.
The real menace of the film
is the dreaded infantile paraly.
sis. To cure this modern horror
Norris experiments with monkeys
in a fervid hope he will prove
successful. This angle is never
fully carried through to clear
conclusion. However, having gone
this far it is hoped the screen
will continue.
In the role Of Norris, John
Trent improves. Still a bit con-
scious of himself the handsome
ex-flier makes a very good try.
The others in the cast, Helen
