'Strogoff Next

spectacular and exciting pictures
of the current season, Michael
Strogoff" will soon have it's first
showings on local screens, coming
to RKO-Keith's on Friday, Feb.
ruary 26.
First published in 1871 in Paris
the book has sold into millions OF
copies and has been translated
into nearly every modern Ian
guage.
This Jules Verne story has long
ranked with the same authors
"Trip to the Moon" and Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea-" and the fact that RKO
Radio has brought it to the screen
on a most lavish scale should be
welcome news to moviegoerS.
The scenes depicting the assaults
of the Tartar hordes on the Rus
sian armies in Siberia are said to
be breathtaking in their immen.
Sity, and the film holds added in
GCACob AO1 Au1CIlCdn duAlCIASCo AL
that it marks the debut of the
European stage and screen idol,
Anton Walbrook.
Dealing with the efforts of a
courier of the Tsar to reach Rus
sian army at Irkutsk during a sud
den rebellion of the Tartar hordes,
the story abounds in breathless
occurrences.
Margot Grahame and Elizabeth
Allan have the principal feminine
roles, with Aim Tamiroff, Fay
Banter and Eric Blore in support
ing portrayals in this Pandro S.
Berman production. George
Nichols, jr., directed the film
which marks Walbrook's American
debut after a brilliant stage and

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 19.-I have
deep and abiding suspicion that
Frau Rudolph seiber, Marlene
Dietrich, of Berlin, Germany, is
about to embrace us as a perma-
nent acquisition and an Ameri-
can citizeness, for the following
reasons:
She has already moved all of
her furniture from her home in
Berlin to Hollywood. She has
turned down two of the most lu-
crative offers ever passed out to
star in films in Germany. She
changed her plans about leaving
her daughter in European school
and brought her back with her.
She has been able to see that
British production is pretty nerve
wracking, what with the delays and
all, plus which her popularity in
America is leaping and she has
finally gotten her wish to have
Lubitsch direct her, and she also
loves Hollywood. I hope I'm
right.
We hear inadvertently that
Bing Crosby, through absolutely
no fault of his own, is indebted
to the Government for some back
income taxes which have just
cropped up, supposedly in the
neighborhood of some $4,000,
which is a rap in any key, we
always say. That, coupled with
the $4,000 of his own personal
money that he has sunk to date
in his own personal race track at
Del Mar, should make Bing really
try to live up to his latest song

their number.
Coming back to Washington, the
Member of Congress from Pennsyl-

inventive minds worked out new
light signal, especially designed to
make the uscer's job an easier
one.
They brought it down to F Street
yesterday, where Carter Barron

ing model. 1t looks like an ordi-
nary flaShlight, but a special disc
indicates on the light cylinder the
number of vacant seats.
A very nifty invention, which
the Representative and his Secre-
tary have registered with the U. S.
Patent office and plan soon to
market through one of the big
electric light companies. I should
say Representative Faddis will get
the solid usher vote.
