FEVER SINCE EVE" OPENS
Boys Fill
Palace With
Laughter

Those mad Marx boys are at it
again and their hilarious antics
necessitate another seven days at
Loew'S Palace where "a Day at the
Races" is proving a real treat to
amusement seekers.
This is one of those crazy pic
lures in which the good-hearted
but misguided boys are trying to
help a sweet young girl save her
Sanitarium;, it is her only heritage
from a medically minded papa,
and of course its plaStered with
mortgages. There is boy who
loves the girl, but he hasn't any
money; there is a woman patient
who might be persuaded to aid
but she requires the services Of
specialists and that's where
Groucho steps into the picture; he
is a specialist and what a spe-
cialiSt; Harpo and Chico get into
the game of keeping things easy
for Judy, the girl, and Of course it
turns out nicely; there is a race
horse, and an exciting race, in
which everything happens which
could happen at a race track in
Guiding many things which
couldn't.
It's all in fun and what fun!
Allan Jones is the smiling youth
with the lovely voice who owns the
race horse, loves the girl, gets the
money and saves the old home
stead (meaning the sanitarium) !;
he has a couple of tuneful songs,
but Harpo has the rousing number

ored choir singing GAIL Gods Chill

our in some very spectacular
scenes, humor all the way
through, and that air of expec-
fancy which accompanies the
Marx boys; one is never quite sure
what to look for with each turn Of
the reel.
Maureen O'Sullivan is the girl,
Douglas Dumbrille the villain, Mar
garet Dumont the rich widow and
the Marx trio are their merry
selves.
This is grade A entertainment
for these depressing days. You
can't laugh and feel low and you
can laugh at the Marx boys.
Shorts are numerous and inter
esting and the newSreel includes
a graphic description of the hunt
for the missing Earhart. K. Y.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-07-17

It is replete with action ana
suspense and, to a degree mcom-
mon in a picture in which there
is so much Of nigh adventure, the
romantic interest really stands out
as the main theme.
This is a story laid against the
background of the Russia of the
Cars and the Russia Of the rev.
olution. It reeks of violence and
bloodshed. but then SO did the
revolution.
Carries Air Of Reality
The plot centers about the ad.
ventures of a young Englishman
(Robert Donat) and young Rus
sian countess (Marlene Dietrich) /.
And while the plot at various times
makes liberal use Of the long
arm of coincidence, it neverthe-
less carries an authentic air Of
reality. .r
The various locales used in this
film are quite interesting and aid
no little in lending conviction to
the story. And while I am unable
to say where the play was filmed,
I can say without qualification
that it looks Russian enough to
fool a native and the Siberian
scenes are about as bleak as any
thing I have ever seen.
Donat gives his usual inspired
performance. La Dietrich is ade-
uuate in her role, managing to
keep that dewy-eyed glamorous
look no matter what hardships she
supposedly endures in the film.
To lovers of a good love story.
played out in an atmosphere OF
intrigue and sudden death,
knight Without Armor" will be a
real theatrical treat.
SHELTON on Stage
On the stage that irrepressible
and inimitable Red Shelton holds
sway for a second week and his
antics in the current show, I be-
lieVe, surpass his performance Of
last week. Mr.. Shelton gives us an
imitation of how various husbands
wash dishes, how various dunkerS
dunk (and he really dunkS and
eats the doughnutS) and how vari-
Gus types of men go UP and down
stairs. All of them funny and wise
cracks go with all limitations.

Ever Since Eve"
Marion Dawes plays with
breezy nonchalance, looks like
a million in her blonde loneliness,
even looks pretty good in the

works with ease and assurance,

serve ably in maintaining fast

dances like an Irene Castle. A

1t is not generally known that
the grooming Bing Crosby, who is
dabbling in all sorts Of sports VEN
lures when not singing his famed
ballads before the cameras, is a
co.manager of Freddie Steele,
worlds middleweight champion
who meets Hobo Williams in the
huge boxing show local Varieteers
will stage at Griffith Stadium next
Tuesday night.
Together with Dave Miller, who
is here with the champion, Bing
has been instrumental in the pilot
ing of this impressive fighter to
the championship. Oddly enough
Co-Pilot Miller is himself a show
man, currently operating some
six theaters on the Pacific Coast.
1t was only through the inter
est of Steele's co.pilots in show
business and their high apprecia-
ton for the manner in which the
Variety Club does things, that
Steele was brought East for this
approaching battle. This is only
the second time since he won the
middleweight belt that Steele has
consented to travel East, Spurning
many lucrative offers from New
York, Chicago and Pittsburgh pro-
moterS.
In the meantime Variety'S big
boxing show is gaining much mo-
mentum. The card is taking full
and imposing shape and reflects
in virtually every attraction" the
fact that Variety. as promised, is
going to give the Washington pub
lice the biggest and most color
full" event of this kind ever staged
here.
In addition to the main 10

Saratoga" the widely discussed
motion picture that marks Jean
HarloWiS last appearance on the
screen, has been completed and
will be definitely released on July
%, it was announced today by
Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Loe WIS
Capitol Theater here is expected
to present this eagerly awaited
production within the next few
weeks.
Saratoga" was virtually COM
pleted when Miss Harlow was
stricken. The producers, once they
were assured that the public ur.
gently wanted to see Saratoga, "
found it a simple matter, through
clever twist in direction, to fin
ish this picture and retain all Of
its high entertainment value.
Saratoga" is an exciting story
by Anita Loos and Robert Hop
kinS, who authored San Fran
CISCO" It provides rich roles for
Miss Harlow, Clark Gable, who is
co-Starred; Lionel Barrymore and
FRANK morgan, as wen as OGQ6ES
of note in the cast.
It is disclosed that Metro Gold.
wyn-Mayer was guided in its de-
cision to release Saratoga" by
the overwhelming acclaim by
movie fans everywhere. New York
newspapers recently conducted a
poll on the question of whether
or not this picture should be re-
leased and the response was prac-
tically 100 per cent in favor of
the picture being shown.
Cards were mailed to motion
picture goers in Southern Cali
fornia and persons in those towns
receiving them virtually de-
manded the pictures release.
Loew Division Manager Carter
Barron reports that in every town
in this area which he SuperviSeS
that there has been an amazing
interest in Saratoga" and that
letters and telephone calls have
piled in on practically every Loew
manager asking for a glimpse Of
this production.

Orchids Given
Glen Echo

Glen Echo Park is, says the
Billboard, the most beautiful 40
acres for the use Of the public
anywhere; the most successful
outdoor amusement operation in
the United States.
The Midway of fun and Marble
Palace Cafe Buildings were built
in 1891, of uncut stones. These
buildings compare to medieval
castles, of which most everybody
has read about, but very few ever
have the pleasure Of seeing.
The Crystal Swimming Pool and
the Spanish Garden Ballroom give
the modern form Of architecture
its place in Glen Echo. Built only
a few years ago. both Of these
buildings are modern to the fullest
extent in the art of construction.
The structures are not the only
beauty spots of Glen Echo Park.
The flower beds located in various
parts are now just coming into
their blooming season, although
some plants have been in blossom
since the park opened, making the
view a profusion of color. AL Of
the varieties Of flowers are now
bursting forth in their brilliant
dignity.
The old trees also add to the
beauty Of the park, giving the
