Kensington School
Have Been Prepared

The revised plans for the Ken
sington school building were re-
ceived through a Committee report
following study of the architect.
The report indicated that the plans
were ready for resubmission for bids
and that it had been found possible
to effect saving in costs without
changing the structural design of
the building.
A delegation from the Takoma
area came before the Board to urge
action on the securing of the site
on the Hodges tract for a new junior
high school and for the erection of
the school building. The Board ad-
vised the delegation that the pro-
gram for the site and building are
a part of the general building pro-
gram under consideration for the
County.
The Board authorized the purchase
of IA audiometer needed in con-
nection with the work for the hard
of-hearing children being carried out
in the County.
A delegation from the P. T. A.
of the Rockville Colored Elementary
school requested the Board to pro
vide additional facilities for the
building. The Board received tht

STRAND

Don't fail to see "The Prince and the Pauper" and '"The Girl from Scotland Yard" two mighty feature attractions concluding a successful four day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater tonight.
 Tomorrow's new program will be headlined by Wallace Beery in Good Old Soak" a screen version of the hit play by Don Marquis, fa- nous newspaper columnist who struck with humorous irony at the era of prohibition in America.
 Beery plays the most appealing role of his long career. AS the father of an average small-town family, who quits business in order to keep up with the speak-easies, he draws familiar portrait. When the family fortune in stock suddenly vaniShes, he is accused.
 His manner of restoring the money and running down the guilty persons makes delightful comedy y-drama.
 The companion feature will be another of those delightful Charlie Chan mystery thrillers with Warner Oland again in the title role of the Oriental Sherlock Holmes. The new story is titled Charlie Chan at the Olympics."
