At Glen Echo

Two entertainers in the Spanish
Garden ballroom, at Glen Echo
Park have become successful per-
formers before the public this sea-
son at the playland for the Ma
tons Capital. They are David
McWilliams and Kitty Simons.
David stepped out of his former
shoes as the drummer boy of his
own orchestra and took over the
baton to direct his band. when
the season started this spring.
David has proved a popular leader
to all those dance-loving patrons
of the Spanish Garden ballroom.
He played the drums for 10 years
at the park before he discovered
it was in him to do more than
just beat out the time on the
stretched leather.
Kitty SimonS is the other to be-
come successful this year at Glen
Echo. She is the featured vocalist
with David's orchestra and also
his own discovery. The patrons
show by their requests to Kitty for
popular numbers as well as older
melodies, that she presents the
songs to their liking.

At Earle Is
Not Ice

That stuff on the Earle stage
this week, on which the members
of the st. Moritz Ice Carnival do
their stuff, is not ice, no matter
what opinion you may have
formed on the subject. am quite
positive about this, because rs I
write, there are several pieces of

been there now for three days.
The ice" being used at the
Earle is substance containing
II chemicals, the basis of the mix
ture being sal soda, borax and
beeSwax.
The chemical ice is melted over
acetylene torches and when thor
oughly melted is poured over the
stage. Prior to pouring, the floor
of the stage is covered with tar
paper. Seventy gallons of this
chemical ice will cover 800 square
feet. The longer the "ice" sets,
the harder it gets.
Two layers are required to fur-
nish a layer one-quarter Of an
inch thick. Twenty-four hours
later a third layer is added.
While chemical ice is being
melted, it is grey-black in color.
The hotter it gets the grey-blacker
it gets. The cooling process
whitens it, and the cooler it ge5s,
the whittier it gets.
The chemical ice is gathered"
by breaking it with a hammer.
The bits are then shovelled into
bags to be shipped to the next en-

stars have to plan trips far in ad-
vance. Anita Louise is already
asking Warner Brothers for per-
mission to be in Paris next April
for the 50th wedding anniversary
of her grandmother. The old lady,
Nine. Francine Beresweil, can't
speak a word Of English, so Anita
is studying French.
The family is from Alsace-Lor-

Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers

as you know. Her sisters, Joan

Havilland girls are doing right well
in Hollywood.
We adjourned for lunch to War
ner Bros. air-cooled green room,
then back with Director Whale,
Brian Ahearne and Olivia taking
a minute off between scenes to
post for a Washington shot.
You and I will be seeing these
scenes sometime next winter and
1 am among those who believe that
getting this intimate peep at
screen manufacture definitely de-
stroys illusion.
1 watched Dick Powell in THE
Singing Marine" today and was so
busy working the imagination and
figuring out just where the camera
was placed and the director stood
for each sequence, I didn't pay
much attention to the story.
For instance I was intrigued by
a sequence where Hugh Herbert
talks to himself on the phone, i'm
perSonating his sister on the other
end of line. I couldn't help but
think what fun it must have been
when they were making up Hugh
Herbert as an old maid.
Fan Letter Follows
One fan mail letteF followed me
to the California Hills. 1t came
from Harry C. Fisk, of P. o. Box
SAB, Franklin Station, and was
like a welcoming breeze on this
Sweltering day.
Yes, it gets hot here; "a as this
is written. One studio had a COM
plant from its writer's that they
couldn't stand the blistering sun
in their coops and SO the authors
were temporarily permitted to
move typewriterS and desks to the
cooling atmosphere of an idle set.

Ger Tracy at Woody Van Dykes
party, but nobody has been able

in a fortnight of Hollywood ad-
venture. I guess the feud is
still on.
Films and the Bard
"Shakespeare's out" said one OF
the great men on a studio lot
visited Wednesday. Hollywood is
through with him." he added We
hemently.
Still I think ShakeSpeare'S life
would make great movie material.
But you mention the Bard in this
neck of the mountains and imme-
diately they think of Romeo and
Juliet" and midsummer Nights
Dream" Both pictures cost ton
of money, were given the benefit
of an intensive selling campaign,
but never attained mass appeal
after release.
These two experiments with
Shakespeare will go into the ar
chiVes as artistic successes and
prestige pictures, not m ey
makers.

With the decision to release
Saratoga" Acknowledgements
next day passed out a seven-year
contract to Mary Dees, making it
q real Cinderella tale. Decision to
give exhibitors the picture was
largely influenced by the heavy
demand for earlier Jean Harlow
pictures after her death and by
the result of newspaper polls rom
all parts of the country.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED
Hollywood is still talking abOIt
the sad passing of the most IA
nous of platinum blondes. BY now
it ia generally accepted that had
the star submitted to surgical
treatment before the crisis, she
might have been saved. Religious
beliefs stopped any use of the
knife.
The Pomona audience which
saw Saratoga" gave it a heavy
ovation at the finish. The expecta-
ton is that the Jean Harlow pic
lures. like those of Will Rogers,
will prove exceptional box office
attractions for some time to come.

BILL TO FORBID SUNDAY LIQUOR
SALES KILLED

In the early hours of Friday morn
lng-the early minutes, in fact-the
Maryland Senate killed a bill which
would have banned Sunday sales of
liquor throughout the State.
1t was at 1901 a. m. that the leth-
al blow fell, after motion to suffo-
cate the bill, by sending it back to
committee had failed.
Introduced weeks ago by trio of
Eastern Shore STANDARDIZATION, OF
talbot; Davis, of Caroline and Lloyd
Of Wicomico-the bill came out just
before midnight with an unfavorable
report by the finance committee.
Senator Dodson moved to substi-
tute the bill for the unfavorable re-
port, and the fight was on, for the
measure did not die without strug-
gle.
The vote to recommit the bill was
13 to IA, the motion failing. Voting
on the losing side were: President
Sasscer and Senators Bale, Callan,
Coad, Every, Fine, Hofferbert, Ken
nedy, Melvin, Prescott, Risteau,
Veasey and Wyatt. Voting against
the motion and on the winning side
were: Senators Brice, Cobourn,
Cooksey, Davis, Dodson, Donovan,
Friend, Higgins, Kimble, Legore,
Lloyd, Miller, Phoebus and Wilson.
Senator Miller, of Washington
county, asserted that six days a week
ought to be enough for liquor selling
and that an insistence on seven days
might cause the return of prohibi-
ton.
After the motion to recommit fail
ed, the vote was taken on the Dodson
motion to- substitute the bill for the
unfavoroble report. This failed, IL
to 15. Those voting for the motion,
that is in favor of the bill, were Sen
ators Brice Cobourn, Cooksey, Davis,
Dodson, Donovan, Friend, Higgins,
Lloyd, Miller, Phoebus and Wilson
Those voting against the motion, that
is against the bill, were: President
Sasscer and Senators Bale, Callan,

nedy, Kimble, Legore, Melvin, Pres
colt, Risteau, Veasey and Wyatt.
The unfavorable report was then
adopted.

EGGS MAY BE PRESERVED AT
THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH
WATER GLASS
WATER GLASS

Because new laid eggs may be put
down in water glass at any time,
many owners of poultry fiocks have
found it an advantage to preserve
some eggs during the high producing
season for use during the months Of
low production.
According to Margaret McPheeters,
nutrition specialist for the Univer-
lily of Maryland Extension Service,
only clean, fresh infertile eggs should
be put down in water glass. Dirty
eggs will spoil, if they are washed, as
the protective coating which prevents
spoilage is removed. Cracked eggs
should never be used. Even minute
cracks may cause spoilage and con-
tamination of the other eggs in the
lar. 1t is a wise precaution to candle
every egg before putting it into the
water glass solution.
A five gallon crock or jar will hold
about IA dozen eggs with room for at
least two inches of water glass solu-
ton above them. The container
should be thoroughly cleaned and
scalded and allowed to dry before it
is used. 1t is a good idea to set it

where the eggs are to be stored, as it
is difficult to move safely when filed
with eggs.
To prepare the solution, boil GAL
Ions of water, then cool. Add one
part of sodium silicate, or water
glass, which can be bought in most
drug stores, and mix we'll in the con-
tainer. Put eggs into the solution
carefully to avoid cracking them.
Keep at least two inches of water
glass solution above the top layer of
the eggs. Prevent evaporation by
covering the crock with a tight lid.
This can be removed easily to put
down more eggs. If the solution
evaporates perceptibly, add enough
water to maintain the level. Eggs
preserved in water glass solution may
be taken out at any time. If they
are used for boiling, make a small
hole with pin in one end to prevent
them from cracking

Wealth and Fame

ITO ONE looking out over world
of human endeavor, it may APP
- pear that the chief objective of
men is to acquire material wealth
and fame. While some may be str1v-
ing to procure daily meals, others
may be trying to gain millions. Some
may seek to be heard by their neigh
bors, while others strive to be heard
by nations. And because Of erroneous
mortal beliefs men often work siren
uously for material wealth and fame,
giving little thought to the gaining
of genuine substance, that which
alone sustains and prospers man.
To the materially minded, to dark
ened mortal sense, wealth and fame
may mean merely perishable gold
and personal glory, while to the spir-
itually enlightened they mean some
thing far greater They mean true
substance and honor--imperishab
impersonal, and eternal. In either
case, wealth and fame are two sig
nificant words.
Since God Is infinite good, spirit
ual and eternal, can that which has
only material or temporal existence
be truly good? If wealth is good, IT
must be of God; therefore, 1t is not
material but spiritual, not temporal
but eternal, not uncertain and per-
lshable but certain and imperishable
Genuine wealth lies in spiritual un-
derstanding. Did not Christ
Jesus say (Matthew $3.50, Seek We
first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you? And these
words have a very simple meaning.
They mean that if we seek to know
and understand God Alright, every
human need will be abundantly met.
Now the word fame" is defined,
in part, by our dictionaries as lofty
Tor exalted) reputation derived from
great achievements" What achieve
ments could be greater than healing
the sick and raising the dead as did
Jesus of Nazareth? Was it not surely
a great achievement to feed five thou
sand with "but five loaves, and two
fishes" at hand, and to have much
food remaining after all had eaten.
It is recorded that as Christ Jesus
went about Galilee healing all man
ner of Sickness" "his fame went
throughout all Syria" (Matthew
4:23, 24). No spiritual achievements
can be greater than those of the mas
ter Christian.
The wealthiest. most famed, and
most powerful individual ever to
