Which Girl Does Criminal Lawyer Lee Tracy Pick?
That's the Question An swered in Capitol
 Movie

One girl loved him. The other ,could help him attain his ambition to be Governor. Which one did he choose? The question is answered
 in RKO Radios thrilling screen drama, Criminal Lawyer showing at the Capital Theatre with Lee Tracy and Margot Grahame in the
 leading roles.
 The story involvts a brilliant lawyer who becomes District Attor- ney through the aid of gambling ring and then turns on the gang when it's leader has committed mur- der.
 His conception of legal ethics is radically changed when the girl he loves is put on the spot by the gang and she conforms to their wishes
 to save the prosecutors career. The photoplay brings Tracy and Miss Grahame together as a screen team for the first time. Recog- nized as two of Hollywood's ablest performers, the pair find their roles in the screen play ideally suited to their talents.

E. B.I. TO HAVE
 LADY "C-MEN"

DETROIT, Aug PA feminine "G-man" force is being formed in Detroit.
 While the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation enlists the services of highly educated men who study a rigorous course of training before becoming "G Men" attr ctive e young women seeking positions in the Detroit Police Department Women's division encounter similar rigid requirements.
 Chief Eleanore Hutzels force of forty-two officers includes m n y young women with college educa- tions and professional experience Among them are lawyers, trained nurses, and a number of social workers.
 Miss Hutzel said the average age of the "G woman" here was tWen- ty-five years. They receive the same pay as patrolmen, $2,000 a year.
 In the past year the women's di- vision handled 12,000 complaints, Miss Hutzel said. The work of the department was found to be so voluminous that Miss Hutzel re- quested twelve women be added to the department. They are to be added this summer.
 When the staff is increased to fifty-four, the first lieutenancy since the division was organized in 1921 will be created. The officer will receive $2,950 year.
 Miss Hutzel said the responsibili- ties of a woman officer in the auto- mobile city are as great as those of policemen. She said the work is to large extent social in nature and the division is charged with all problems dealing with morality among children and women. Vir- tually all sex cases are turned over to Miss Hutzel's department.

Biggest Mouie Laughs
 Come During Rehedrsdls
By RoBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 12. - Some pictures would be funnier if they shot the rehearsals instead of the scenes.
 Nothing Sacred" is a comedy, and funny enough, but l still wish they would film the rehearsals. Any Carole Lombard set is a com edy. So is any set presided over by Director William Wild Bib Wellman. And Fredric March is no slouch at batter, either.
 Today's scene has March and Lombard seated in a sailing yacht in the studio tank Your Mir. March is having dialog trouble, not exact ly his fault. He's supposed to tell Carole to do something to the sails, and these nautical. terms get him tangled. Hes tangled in the hal yards, verbally, and the boom and the jibs keep thwacking his mem- ory and leaving blank. He speaks of luffing to leeward, and then has to speak of love, and soon nobody knows whether he is luffing or lov- ing but it doesn't matter because | it is lunch-time anyway. But a good time has been had by all, es- pecially by Lombard, Wellman and the spectators.
 "ConvOlutiOnal Atrophy" On Wife, Doctor and Nurse, pr. Warner Baxter is reading a case report: ". then there's a slight separation of the suture lines "a convolutional atrophy. :"
 Time and again Dr. Baxter's tongue gets twisted on that "con- volutional atrophy." Finally they rearrange the dialog to give those words to Virginia Bruce. So they shoot the scene and suddenly, slick as oil, out come the words from Baxter's lips. But they don't be- long to him any more and the scene must be done again.
 On The Perfect Specimen Joan Blondell knows her name is Mona Garter but circumstances conspire to keep the fact from film. | Harry Harrington and Fra n k Mayo knock and come in. Harry asks: "Is your name Mona Car ter?' Then Mayo says: Were from the Department of Justice The chief wants to see you" | Mistaken Identity
 "Is your name Mona Carter?' has been rehearsed 19 times, with bungles, before Director Mike Cur tiz is ready to take it. Joan, fright ened, has admitted her identity IS times. Everybody on the set knows all the lines by this time and is convinced that Joan Blondell is Mona Carter. So they're taking it -as far as Mayo's line, which comes out: We're from the part ment of dejustice."
 He stops, they start over. This is Harrington's turn. "Is your mona Name Carter?" he demands. Joar is about to say it is, when CurtH interrupts sternly No, no, mo-" he means. That's not the line. What was the line?"
 A dozen voices cry: "Is youi name Mona Carter?"
 "All right" says Curtiz, nov everybody remember his lines just once please, and we go to lunch. promise"
 This is the zero hour. We creeI toward an exit. The question fol lows us: 'Is your name Mona Car ter?"
 "No!" says Joan wearily. Tn Santa Claus! Mona just went out.

THINGS co
 WRONG FOR NIGHT CLUB
Guests Generally Good But Here Is Incident When
 One Wasn't
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The con- duct of night club guests in New York is uniformly good, but occa- sionally there enters upon the scene a disturbing influence which IS quickly and effectively dissipated.
 Such an occurrence took place at Ben Collada's Spanish restau- rant, Fl Chico, the other night, and the patrons received a meas ure of entertainment that wasn't listed on the program
 What happened was that a large and buxom sonora, with a mop of frizzly black hair and of a posi- lively fascinating ugliness, made herself obnoxious and was tossed out. Collada had observed not l5 minutes before that "she doesn't seem to belong here.'
 She was Spanish and telling ev- erybody about it. At the next table between herself and the floor, sat the head of the Medical Arts Center in New York with two guests. A dancer from Seville was on the floor.
 Suddenly the lady scree h d something in Spanish and show CT of water sprayed the guests at the next table, including this inno- cent bystander A lot of the water splashed out on the floor and onto the dancer.
 Quick as a flash the girl at the table next to our hysterical black headed friend leaped up and screamed The head of the Medi- cal Arts Center wore linen suit, and it was drenched. By this time the head waiter was on the scene.
 Get her out of here or we'll Ieave,' said the Medical Arts Gen. ter man.
 I'm getting her out as quickly as possible" the head water prom ised.
 Meanwhile he entered into hur- ried conversation with the frivolous one. She was very angry. Her evening had been ruined, she de- clared
 The master of ceremonies had
