STRAND

Performances tonight conclude the engagement of "Romeo and Ju. liet" with Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. also "Nobody's Baby" with Patsy Kelly, Robert Armstrong, Lyda Roberti and Lynne overman, current attractions at Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 Tomorrow's sparkling new show will be headlined by T Met Him in Paris, a comedy as crisp and sparkling as the snows of the Swiss Alps, against which background most of the action takes place Ciaudette Colbert, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young head e brilliant cast of players.
 Miss Colbert, in the role of Q young American girl on a long, planned vacation in Europe, is given plenty of opportunity to display those comedy talents which she used so well in Tt Happened One Night" and "The Bride Comes Home" Tn this new film, she has two leading men with whom tc spar in conversational give-and- take. Not only is the dialogue keen and snappy. but the rough-and- tumble action and incidental byplay are equally mad and delirious. T Met Him in Paris" is played with delicious freedom and wisecracking action.
 AS the story runs, Miss Colbert goes to Paris, where she runs into Q couple of writers, also Tanks; Melvyn Douglas, a suave, man.of- the-World playwright, and Robert Young, a playboy novelist. Their impetuous courtShip for the bru- nette beauty takes the trio from Paris to St. Moritz, smartest of the Swiss winter sports centers, and then back to Paris again. In the strange romance, Miss Colbert's heart swings first to one, then tc the other of her mad suitors, until she Is forced to e showdown.
 Every member of the cast, from the three principals down to the lowliest extra, turns in an outStand- ing performance. Wesley Ruggles direction, as always, is tops, and the outdoor scenes. laid in the Al. pine sports capital, are thrilling and beautiful. The story is as spark. ling, and the three stars as brilliant as the snows of St. Moritz.
 The companion feature will bt "The 18th Chair" a rousing mys- tery melodrama featuring Dame May Whitty, Madge Evans, Thomas Beck and Lewis Stone.
 It's always comfortably cool at the Strand. Why not drop in aftel shopping this afternoon and enjoy the current show. It's entertain. ment to make you forget the heat of the day.

STATE

Dick Powell in "The Singing Ma. rine" and once 4 Doctor" with Donald Woods and Jean Muir are to be headlined by Midnight Ma. donna" Q powerful story of moth- CT love and 6 beautiful woman's battle to keep her child after her name has been besmirched by c vengeful husband. The picture flea. lures Warren William, Mady Cor rell. and little four year old Kitty Clancy, e native of Bridgeport Conn.
 Midnight Madonna" Is an excel. lent dramatization of similar cases which crashed the newspaper head. lines recently. It introduces two new film personalities in Miss Cor rell, recently from the New York stage, and little Kitty, who Is one of the sweetest child personalities ever to appear before the movie cameras. Besides the excellent and gripping story 1t has some splendid music and good comedy, supplied in the main by little Kitty.
 The story cer1terS around the girl Kitty, who Is made sole beneficiary in her grandfathers will. Hereto. fore ignored by her scapegrace father, played by Robert Baldwin, she suddenly becomes the center of bitter court fight when the fath. CT attempts to gain custody of her. He does not stop at dragging his wife's name in the mud in order to win the child and as the result of high handed methods employed by his lawyer, wins the baby.
 The mother, Q night club enter. tainer, played by Miss Correll, is aided in the battle to win the child by William, big time gambler who became interested in her through the child. Through his unique methods the judge is made to see his error in awarding the child to the father. Williams methods are not precisely such as would find ap- proval in Blackstone, but they are, nevertheless highly satisfactory, making of Midnight Madonna" an excellent story from every point of view.
 The companion feature will pre-. sent virile Jack Holt, as Kinepin of the north woods, in Roaring Tim- ber," with Grace Bradley, Ruth Donnelly and Raymond Hattcn. It is the best Jack Holt picture to date and packed with red blooded action and adventure from start to finish.

Ferde Grofe's ION the Trial"
from the Grand Canyon Suite"
which was heard yesterday after
noon on the program of the U. S.
Marine Band and is also sched-
uled for both concerts Of the U. S.
Navy Band next week, brings a
forcible reminder Of the origin Of
Shep Fields bubbling rhythm.
Shep has merely initiated the
tread Of the Rocky Mountain
canary by the constant use Of the
tuned wood blocks. Whereas in
Grofe'S work, the braying of the
bl:rro is initiated, Shep leaves
this part Of the imitation for his
temporary admirers.
Lieut.. Charles Benter, director
Of the U. S. Navy Band Symphony
Orchestra in concert last night at
the Navy Yard Sail Loft, presented
a program that was noteworthy in
that it contained not only Franck's
only symphony, but several shorter
works that are not often heard,
such as La Rumba," (MaganinD =
"Danse," (DebusSy): and "Ro-
nance Sympho1ique," GuiginD.
The Romance Symphonique,"
which features the solo cello, No.
/, was a delightful piece in a re-
Elective mood and played in a
broad warm tone by Musician Sam
Stern. The la Rumba," which
is a free Interpretation Of rumba
motifs, sounded more like rumha
than many other symphonic ef-
forts, including those Of Karl NC
Donald.
Franck's symphony in D Mi
nor" is a major work that bears
many characteristics Of modern
music without the dissonances.
Some conductors try to suppress
the boisterouS JOY evident, espe-
cially in the last movement, so
that it sounds like a chamber or
chestra playing a Mozart SYM
phony.
Lieutenant Benter presented
The Washington times., 1937-01-06

this symphony in q manner that
allowed the joyous abandon proper
play. The brasses were allowed to
take their proper place in develop
ing the mighty climaxes in a thrill
ing manner. The appealing beauty
Of the English Horn section in the
second movement was performed
with a fine tone, nor was the
tempo Of the movement such as to
overSentimentalize it.
The Shimmering harp and the
plucked strings serving as an &C.
compartment to the woodwinds
in the second movement produced
a combination of tonal color that
is seldom equaled by any com.
poser. The effect was such as to
buoy ones spirit on invisible wings
into the clouds Of "the vision
splendid"
After all our worrying as to
whether Lily Pons would divide
her recital time with a violinist
as she did last season, we have
been fully assured that she will
give a full-length recital a week
from next Sunday at Constitution
Hall. This is good news indeed,
and her auditors may be assured
Of getting their moneys worth.
This announcement evidently
means that the diminutive Lily
is in better health than in the past
couple Of seasons. Any singer of
her attainmentS who is in good
health should be able to deliver a
full-length recital without undue
fatigue. Her only New York re-
cital in Carnegie Hall Is scheduled
to take place on the evening of
January IL.
The Musical Art Quartet (sas.
cha Jacobsen and Paul Bernard,

THIEVES GONE;
COMPANY, TOO

Woodlawn Horse Company has
held what probably is its last
meeting.
There is good reason why this
society, dedicated october Is,
1865, to the apprehension of
horse-thieves and the recovery
of stolen horses, should disband; /;
the society has nothing to do.
The three surviving members
met at Woodlawn, near Mount
Vernon on the Richmond Highway.
There was Joe Cox, there was w.
F. HALEY, and there was A. r.
HarriSon-juSt these three of the
hard-riding, grim company Of
men organized at the end of the
Civil War to fight against the
carpetbaggers, renegadeS and
vanquiShed and impoverished
raiders who stole horses from the
Virginia countryside.
Harrison sadly reminiSced:
There's no use in us try
ing to fool ourselves. It looks
as If we're about done for.
There isn't much more horse
thieving since the automobile
came in, and without horse.
thieves, what's the excuse for
the WOOdlawn Horse Com.
pany?"
The three men, whose average
age is 65, looked at each a mo-
ment and automatically dis
banded the seventy,second and
probably the last meeting Of the
Woodland Horse Company.
They drove home in their au-
tomobileS.
