and other celebrities. President Rob-

An unusual quirk in union pro-
cedure was pointed out to guild men,
bers. Since makeup men are among
those on strike. actors will be privi-
legged to apply grease paint to their
own faces, but if an actor makes up
the face of another actor, he will be
blacklisted as "scab," and charges
will be preferred against him.

producers had subsidized the Inter-

Employees as a company union.
Belief that a reasonable and SEN
sible solution" Of the issues under
lying the strike could be reached
was expressed by Pat Casey, labor
counciliator for the producers. None
of the studios planned to curtail

BOYER ARTHUR PICTURE
ON OVERTIME AT KEITH'S

HIsTORY is MADE AT NIGHT .''
the most signallv irrelevant
title ever given to a reasonably rele-
want picture, scampered into its sec
ond week at Keith's yesterday. The
continuance, as all such continuances
are, comes as a result of good box
Office behaviour.
Those inclined to steer clear of it
on the ground that they do not like
history, should be glad to hear that
this one is about romance It has
Charles Boyer and Jean Arthur, being
tenderly and beautifully in love, de-
spite the constantly threatening blight
of Colin Give as Miss Arthur's hus-
band. An archfiend, Give, trying
always to destroy his wife and her
appealing suitor. The three of them
perform their parts quite deftly, with
Leo Carrillo seasoning the thing with
merriment at those moments when il
otherwise would grow morbid.
The best performance, however, in
History Is Made at Night (sit down
Boyer) is by that iceberg. The Sc
quence in which it takes over the
film is one of those startlingly fine
pieces Of photography that restores
your faith in Hollywood's ability tc
tame nature in the raw, no matter
how raw.
The usual short subjects complete
the Meakin opus.

Presentations.

DRAMAS in MINIATURE" was the
title OF the evenings entertain
ment at Wardman Park Theater last
night and, under that designation,
Frank Parker, dlseur, presented novel
program of songs, dances and sketches
Mr.. Parker's type of stage program is
somewhat rare. 1t represents an in
teresting diversion from usual activity
before the footlights.
Most effective on the bill of fare
were the terpsichorean titbits.
Strongly reminiscent of the presenta-
lions of Ted Shawn, the dance items
lest evening were executed with spirit
and grace. Enhanced considerably by
masks, these were dances of signifi-
canoe, entertaining and impressive
More strength of voice would have
increased the effectiveness of the
artists articulate presentations, but
song and monologue were, for the
most part, handled in satisfactory
fashion. Tragedy and farce, together
with the intermediate phases of
dramaturgy, were represented in the
sketches. There was the appealing
struggle of Mozart to secure patronage
and there was Internationally Speak
ing" in which the audience viewed
breakfast in London, luncheon in
Paris and dinner in New York.
Ruth Gordon, well-known pianist
of Chicago, assisted Mr. Parker in the
program, which was presented under
the auspices of the Principal alumni
Of Washington. The local premiere
will be followed by an appearance in
New York this evening.
