 Title in Sight


 Casper Spearo further demon- strated last night at the Wooster that he is playing fine billiards by defeating George Gearing 35 to 31 in a match game of the city three- cushion tourney.

 Gearing put up a good fight and pulled even at the fortieth inning but his bold bid for victory wac turned back as Spearo proved he is 8 splendid match player and kept the game under control.

Colonial Beach
Sunday Sail

Clubs, parties, organizations,
sororities, fraternities, and lodges
are taking nightly cruises on the
S. S. Potomac.
Maybe it's the music of Wash.
ington's Swing Band, Bernie Jar
Doe and his "NighthaWks."
Maybe it's the large, cool decks
with comfortable chairs, maybe the
beer gardens and dining room, per-
haps it's everything combined that
make their cruise an enjoyable one.
The spacious boat can comfortably
carry well over 1000.
Hundreds, too, are making it a
relaxful Sunday by taking the 140-
mile water cruise to Colonia
Beach. The Potomac sails at
a. m. from the Seventh and Water
Street Southwest, dock and gets
back in town at 1880 p. m. In the
meanwhile, you've had plenty of
salt water swimming, picnicking,
fishing, free dancing and the other
amusements offered at the beach
and on the boat. Meals and re-
freshments are served on board.
Wakefield, the birthplace of
George Washington, is visited by
many on the Sunday Colonial
Beach trip. Bus connections are
made directly with the boat and
there's plenty of time to really see
and inspect this beautiful historic
SDot.

Marine Moves
To the Met

Dick Powell, with the aid Of
Warner Bros. tunesmiths, makes
The Singing Marine" one of the
choice summer musicals. 1t moved
down to the Metropolitan Theater
yesterday for a second week.
Dicks first aid, in a vocal way,
is Doris Weston, graduate Major
BoweS amateur. A pretty girl, who
knows how to sing, she will prob
ably reach greater heights after
more lessons in the studio dra-
matte school.
Powell's comedy aid is Hugh
Herbert. Yoo-hoo has one of those
goofy roles, ideally suited for his
little bag of fun tricks and THE
Singing Marine" holds its own, for
giggles and outlaws, when Herbert
is in the scene. Allan jenkins and
Lee Patrick also serve we'll in i'm
portant moments.
THE Singing Marine" has been
tricked UP with good music, the
hummahle kind, sails along at a
merry pace. The story tells of a
Marine with a radio voice who of.
tends his buddies by accepting a
network offer and leaving the
service. The Marines felt Dick
Powell was letting them down by
taking $4,000 a year. I didn't
think so, but who cares whether
musical comedy story makes
good sense.

from the novel by the Baroness

It is a daring film, not only
because of its intriguing nara

these popular stars a new oppor"
tunity to prove their. versatility.
In the new picture, Powell,
famous for his creation Of THE
Thin Man" is seen as a debonair

story follows the adventures Of
these two across a continent.
Always there is suspense, danger

At Trons-Lux

A wide variety of noteworthy
news shots marks the Trans-Lux
program this week along with an
issue Of the March of Time.
Among the highlights in the
news reels is the death of Marconi,
dramatically done sequence in
which this great inventors gift to
humanity is graphically indicated.
A news shot of the return Of
some of the soviet's polar ex-
petition to Moscow gives us an
unexpected glance at Stain, Rus
sian dictator. This is especially
noteworthy since the chief COM
missar of the Soviet is rarely
photographed. Despite recurrent
rumors that Stain is ailing, he IS
apparently in the best Of health
and the news reel leaves no doubt
but that he was in high good
humor at the time the picture
was taken.
Other news photographs of in:
tereSt include a view of VeSuviuS
in eruption, views of an airplane
flight recorder, fashion shots and
Lew Lehr doing a kiddies special
for us.
The March of Time portrays
the philanthropies of the Rookie
tellers, the struggle of Hawaii for
admission to the union and eX-
poses the racketeering methods Of
baby adoption farms.
A novel moderniStic musical
film, based on "Anitra'S Dance"
proves of absorbing interest.
The always popular cartoon this
week is "Mickey's Elephant" in
which Pluto plays a prominent
and ludicrous part.

Saratoga" Jean Harlow's last
picture which was so near compile

the crowds were so great at the
early afternoon show, that only

A LIVELY STORY
Interest quite naturally centers
on the vivacious and provocative

Saratoga" does such a remark
ably fine job that not even the
most exacting Harlow fans could
be disturbed by the transition.
Tragic circumstances surround
ing Miss Harlow make this per-
Torrance a vital one, but it does
not detract from the very fine
roles eSsayed by Clark Gable,
Lionel Barrymore, Frank Morgan,
Una Merkel, Walter Pidgeon, Cliff
Edwards, Frankie Darro and
Louise Beavers.
The story is a race.track yarn
and runs along the rather well
worn formula for such engaging
fare. Anita Lees and Robert Hop
kinS have written a faSt-moving,
apparently authentic story of
horses and track life which adds
just the zeSt and pep required for
f1rSt-clasS, SIlappy movie-fare.
GOOD STAGE SHOW
Gable is a "Bookie" out to save
the home place and a few breed
ing horses for Grandpa Clayton,
the Incompatible Barrymore. In

that. Gable needs no plauditS
