PARKING CURB
SOUGHT IN D. C.

Demands that the one-hour park
ing limit b extended to downtown
sections, where all-day parking is
now permitted, were voiced today
by Representative Vincent L. Pal
misano CD of Maryland, chair
man of the House District Com
mittee.
Declaring much of the traffic
congestion is due to Government
employees parking their cars all
day, Palmisano said he would seek
a ban on this and also demand
that parking regulations be en-
forced strictly.
If this is done, he said, Govern
ment employees will be discouraged
from driving to work, and traffic
will be reli we'd.

BALTIMORE. Md, Sept. 10.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor

it will be in the fashionable Green
Spring Valley neighborhood, just

DEFINITE DECISION
Although there have been
rumors to this same effect, always
previously denied, it is definitely
known that the Duke and his
bride, as private citizens of Great
Britain, will take up residence
here and remain in this country
for an indefinite time.
The statement that this famous
couple would be in this country
has been whispered about Balti.

official background to clothe it
with more than baseless rumor.
INSISTS IT is TRUE
Although the news is clouded
with mystery, and is denied when.
ever it is preached to anyone who
has the slightc It connection with
either the British government or
the former Baltimore belle, now
the Duchess of Windsor, never.
thelesS there are those who claim
that there is no doubt this time
that the projected and rumored
visit will actually take place.
If the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor are actually coming to
the United States, the official atti-
tude Of the State Department is
that no one there knows anything
about it and has not heard any
thing. Nevertheless, it is said on
high authority that the Duke has
learned that it will be o. K. withs
the United States Government If
he visits America.
Official attitude is that the
Duke is private citizen. If he
comes here it will be as a private
citizen; and any negotiations that
he may have made concerning his
reception here or the attitude Of
the Government would be a pri.
vate matter that he would have to
carry on himself.
1t was distinctly stated here to.

it was not an affair which the
British government had taken up
with the State Department, and
that if there should be any nego-
tiations they would be private and
unofficial"

'Moytime' Now
At Columbia

Three weeks previous showing
to large capacity crowds evidently
wasn't enough. The return Of
Metro Goldwyn Mayors produc-
ton of "Maytime" to the Column.
bia has brought out further hordeS
to hear the enchanting singing Of
Miss Jeanette Macdonald and
Nelson Eddy. We suspect some Of
the crowd are sneaking back for
encore witnessing.
1t is an elaborate production
with scenes from several operas
contrasting in magnificence to the
May Day Carnival at st. Cloud.
The song sequences are long, too,
and at times bit dragging. A note
sorely lacking was the element Of
comedy. Laughs there are but so
few that their scarcity is marked.
Somewhat reminiscent of "Smilin'
Through" are the opening and
closing sequences of the film. Just
how they aid the film in general is
hard to say. To see Miss Mac
Donald saddened old woman just
after we have seen her so beauti.
full at her triumph is just bit too
much.
A fine supporting cast with John
Barrymore doing the villainous
Nikolai splendidly and Tom
Brown, Rafaela Ottiano, Sig Ru-
mann, Herman Bing to carry other
roles. This is sincerely beautiful
and moving film. Added attrac-
tons consist of a News of the Day,
and comedy Bosko'S Easter Eggs.

Crosby Movie
Held Over

WAIKIKI Wedding" continues a
second week at LoeW'S Palace
Theater. Bing Crosby with his
lifting songs is always sufficient
reason for holdover, but when
Martha Raye and Bob Burns are
added to the roster, there isn't
doubt left. The current film is
peculiarly fitted to the talents of
the whole group, including Shir-
ley Ross, too. Not that the story
of waikiki Wedding" is any
thing unusual nor even reason
able, but it just doesn't matter
anyway.
Bing is young man with
ideas, supposedly putting such
brilliant ones to the general
good of one Pineapple Company.
The winner of a contest is to
spend a vacation in the glamor-
Gus Hawaiian Islands. All goes
well except that the promised ex
element does not materiallZe and
it becomes Bing's job to manu-
facture plenty. Needless to say
he finds opportunity to sing
some of his famous love songs
under Southern moon to the
charming Shirley and then he
finds himself really in love. That
is the problem.
Almost stealing the show is
Martha Raye and Bob Burns.
They get funnier with every ap-
pearance, and when they finally
wind up in the wedding party
too, it is quite as it should be.
Teasing music, hilarious comedy,
and great big dash of hokum,
but it is a thoroughly enjoy
able show. H. K.

Howard Stars
Count Bosie

Count Basic, that new maestro,
upon the horizon from across the
plains of Missouri at Kansas City,
and his banG are in the featured
spot of a fast moving revue that
moved into the Howard Theater
yesterday for week.
Basic, the fellow with 10 little
fingers that simply cuff a piano
to pieces is new in these parts. The
artist was at one time with that
famous Bonnie Moten crew of mu-
sicianS. Basic can tickle the
worries and in an unusual manner.
His band is hot, although minus
the ripples, the tom toms and
other light symphonic individ-
ualiSms. His special arrangement
of "Honeysuckle Rose" places him
among the tops. Vocal interpola-
tors with band are James Rushing
and Billy Holiday. Above all
things hear Basic.
Others featured in the revue in
the Laced troupe, a white act
comprising three women and five
men; Swan and Lee, comedians;
Rhythm Brown, Taper on
skates; Durham, Harris and
Scott, comics and tap dancers. The
Laced troupe, a group of aero
batic artists just about steal this
end of the show. The people are
clever and do some very clever
work. Rhythm Brown, on skates,
is just about the most novel and
best hoofer appearing in such an
act here for sometime. All in the
all, the revue is good.
