AT IL p. m. out bounced the
rubber-legged Ray Bolger. 1t was
just what Al Smith and every
body else needed for an enter

Sponded to the thunderous ac-
claim with dancing that was elec-

that would have exploded an ap-
plause machine. I have never
seen a reception like it in a life

I am happy to report he torgetS

The story is from the stencil

Director Roy Del Ruth completes
the polishing with fast action.
CORA MAKES A HIT
Classy Madeline Carroll, richest
girl in the world, is mad clean
through when she sees her family
caricatured in a Broadway revue.
She turns right around and buys
the show in order to embarrass
and humiliate Garry Blake, who
told her she was poor sport after
she had slapped his face. Not
always does he who gets slapped
win the girl in the final clinch,
but this boy does.
All as fluffy as october snow
but full OF good dances directed
by Seymour Feliz, and invariably
tuneful. The comedy is entrusted
to the Ritz Brothers, goofy rivals
Of the Marx freres, who sock
over three routines, where two
would have been plenty. Best
laughs in the picture for this
critic came from Cora Wither-
spoon, the dignified lady of stage
drawing rooms. Believe it or sue,
Cora Witherspoon dons tights and
becomes an aspiring acrobat on
the flying trapeze in order to shed
a few pounds.
George Barber has another of
those apoplectic roles he does so
we'll and Stepin Fetchit's drawing
pace seemed lost in a movie gen.
orally in high speed. Blond Alice
Faye, the third side Of the ro-
mantle triangle, sings to good ef-
feet.
ION the Avenue" is a hit close
to the center of the target for
those who like bon bon musicals.
It comes to LoeW's Palace Theater

New Play Here
March IS

OF particular interest to Wash
ington audiences will be Leslie
Reade's new play, His Excel
lency," which Bushar and Tuerk
will offer for a weeks engagement
at the Belasco Theater, commenc-
ing Monday evening, March IS,
with matinees Thursday and Satur-
day afternoons.
With international politics and
I diplomacy as the basis of his plot,
His Excellency" may best be de-
scribed as satirical comedy filled
with delightfully."- humorous situa-
tions and crisp-telling dialogue.
The author, a member of the
Royal Institute of International
Affairs in London, knows his sub
ject well. An ardent traveller,
Reade has had ample opportunity
to make many unusual and pun
gent observations. Despite a seri-
GUS background, which might
easily have placed his play in
more sober mould, he has chosen

emphasis on the comic side.
Delightfully."- witty, fast moving
and absorbing, "HiS Excellency''
tells the truth, yet at the same
time keeps we'll within the realm
of comedy. In addition to the un-
expected turn of plot, Reade de-
lights his audiences with the in.
dividualistic viewpoints of his
characters. It forms, not only a
diverting evening in the theater,
but also introduces a smartly
groomed list of new acquaintance
to tickle our risibility. Endowed
with quiet wisdom and crisp hu.
NOR, "HiS Excellency" will be
played by a splendid cast includ-
ing George Graham, Tenen Holtz,
Lii Valenty, Frank Mccormack.
John Williams, Robert Shayne,
Stuart Casey, Bob Lewis, Donald
Randolph, Joseph Kallini, Jean
Delval and others. Edward Clarke
Lilley has staged the play and
Watson Barratt has designed the
setting. Following the Washing.
ton engagement, His Excellency''
will go direct to New York.

Roland Young, Alice Brady,

sophisticated but altogether heart
warming fun of this play, which
concerns the romanceS Of a Subur-

The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1937-04-23

Ask yourself, gentle reader, how this organization, with its
small burial fund, can legally take in members past the age
limit at this reduced rate they are now offering, or at any
rate.
This clique has promoted Seattle public out of thou
sands of dollars in the past. One of their big deals was the
theatre project out of which not a single stakeholder will
come forward to say he got one red cent of his investment
back. And, to add insult to injury, the last money raised to
dump into the theatre proposition was gotten by some ruse
out of this very Elks' fund and it has never been returned.
If these modern "Canutes" have sponsored one successful
venture the Northwest Enterprise stands ready and willing
to pay homage, but SO far we can not find record of one sin
gle successful venture.
Let us have some new blood in this organization. The
time is ripe. Seattle is going forward. Negroes are going
forward everywhere The Elks' Lodge can not possibly go
forward under the present set-up. Obviously Chainey is OBJ
structing progress and if he is a loyal knight, he will resign.
Is there no saae, strong and decent leadership among us
that can step in and save this organization from being COM
pletely wrecked from within? Such leadership would have
public support The public is off, such maraudng leader
ship as now goes forth in the role of plain ~brigands.

LOS FLOWER OF U

A nation has lost the flower of its youth. She has been
reft Of them by deliberate purpose. i was an accident, no
chance by which they died. The names of the educated young
men, all who were left in the capital, were known to the It
allan occupation. The list of them had been made out. It
was passed to the squads for execution, with orders that
none be permitted to escape. Their names were called; their
homes were searched to discover them, every one.
Farewell, an honorable farewell to you, dear boys. Our
tears are for the living whose hopes were set on you.
Our tears are for the living; yet these lads now dead
were on the very threshold of fair life, and all were eager,
all were purposeful to ferve.
That massacre of F sbruary 10 and the succeeding days
has shattered the dreamy that ancient Ethiopia, long stag
nant, would be regenerat ID by this fair company of tF wor-
thiest and most alert of her youth, who essaying a quest
more glorious than that of the tabled golden fleece of old,
would bring her from the schools and colleges of Europe and
America the science of the modern world.

EDITORIAL
NO LONGER a LABOR" QUESTION

The labor situation has reached a point where it affects
every citizen.
The unlawful occupation of property by workers to en-
force their demands, and the breakdown of our law enforce
ment agencies in protecting the property owner, is a new ex-
perience in the United States. It is but one step removed
from revolution.
If one class of citizens can d~ispossess another class of
the use of their property, it is only a step further to take
over such properly permanently. We have witnessed that
in Russia and Spain.
If workmen stop and think, they will see that they are
destroying their own safety and liberty when they foment
revolutionary practices.
Thoughtful persons who have the best interests of work
ers at heart, can only warn them against such tactics which
in the long run will lose unless government stability is de-
|~stroyed-then what?
