BAXTER AND BENNETT
Warner Baxter and Joan Ben
nett are the featured players in
"Vogues of 1885," which also
has Helen Vinson, Micha Auer
and Alan Mowbray in the cast.
This is a United Artists picture.
Based on past performances,
as the race track devoteeS would
put it, the caliber of these three
pictures indicate lengthy stays
at our Fifteenth Street theater,
so 1 will but briefly touch upon
others that will follow. Radio
will shortly give us THE Life of
the Party" with splendid COM
edy cast, including Joe Penner,
Gene Raymond. who, inciden-
tally, has just returned from his
honeymoon with Jeanette Mac
Donald; Victor Moore, Helen
Broaderick, Harriet Hilliard,
Eric Blore and Parkyakarkus.
The corstarring vehicle,
"Stage Door," for Katharine
Hepburn and Ginger Rogers is
fast nearing completion. This
is from the famous stage play
of the same name. The cast in
cludes Adolph Menjou and Gail
Patrick! Irene" in which Gin

will shortly be under way, while

of 1.-THE Joy of Loving" the
music for which is being written
by Jerome Kern; Radio City

will bring to our screen. This
will feature Bob Burns, Jack
Oakie, Victor Moore, Lucille Ball

Lily Pons will be along about
Christmas time in her new pic.
ture, 1.-THE Girl in a Cage" Nino
Martini in Music for Madame"

Washington moviegoerS, I am
sure, will like. Other stars to be
seen on our screen during the
season will include Barbara
Stanwyck, Mitzi Green, Charles
Boyer, co-starred with Ginger
Rogers and such well-known
players as Joel McCrea, Cary
Grant, Herbert Marshall, Bur.
CESS Meredith and Ann Sothern.
PLAN CELEBRATION
could go on indefinitely ex-
tolliug what is in the offing and
am thoroughly convinced that
my enthusiasm will be well
placed. But the above gives you
a pretty good idea-now doesn't
it Mr.. Andrew R. Kelley?
During the coming year the
theater of ours will have reached
it's twenty-fifth anniversary.
Tied in as it is with the develop
ment of Washington and the
many notableS who have found
entertainment therein you can
imagine that we are planning
quite a celebration when this
date arrives. But more about
this later.
