Bruins Hold Slim
Hockey Loop Lead

OSTON, Dec. % Q.N.SO
Scoring their fourth consecutive
win by edging the Chicago Black
hawks to l last night, the Bos-
ton Bruins today held a four
point lead in the American divi
sion of the National Hockey As
sociation. 1t was the tenth win for
the Bruins this season and brought
their total of points to %, four
above Toronto. leader in the in
ternational division.
Nearly $4,000 saw Cooney Wei
land and Charlie Sands score for
the Bruins. The lone Blackhawk
tally came late in the third period
when P. Thompson slid the puck

Thompson on a pass from Trudell

total Of so. His average, there
fore, is 20 points per game.
The husky pointgetter of the
Cards scored 81 points against
Maryland State, is against Shep-
herd Teachers and "a against Hud-
son College. He will return to the
hardwoods January 8, when c. U.
entertains American University.
I CARROLL FOLLOWS
Second in line for high point
scoring Is Maurice Irish" Carroll,
captain Of the Catholic U. floor
team, who has annexed total of
10 points in three games played
However, he will probably relin-
quish the position Of runnerup to
his teammatL, Ambrose, as George
Knepley, Maryland guard, and
Jack Butterworth, G. w. center,
are tied one point behind the Card
leader and their respective teams
play several games before Carroll
again sees action.
Although Georgetown and Amer
ican University have played but
one preholiday game each, Harry
Bassin Of the Hoyas and Emerson
Bartlett Of the Eagles still stand
excellent chances of closing in well
among the leaders. Bassin scored
Is points against Western Mary
land last week, and Bartlett Tailed
8 points against the same team
two evenings previous.
HOLDS BIG LEAD
However, Amhrose's command
ing lead in the point scoring race
at such an early stage, gives him
a decided edge in capturing top
scoring honors, which have been

cision from the Empires when w.
jenkins 370 proved the edge for
the winners. Vignau's 1873 was top

Janey Powell's Orioles were two
games out in front of the Ladies
Chamber of Commerce League to-
day by virtue of a sweep over the
Skylarks. With Frances AShford's
1O7-294 featuring, the Adjutants
routed the Umbrettes. Florence

at Lucky Strike, rolling lit for
her second effort.

New show at Warner Brothers State theater starting today-and what 8 show 1t is! Mary Living stone (Jack Benny's Mary) plus her delirious laugh, and Fibber McGee and Molly, those inimitable funsters who get heavy radio dial on Mon- day nights, make an suspicious screen debut in one of the biggest laugh-getters ever to come out ot the. Paramount studios in Holly wood. The picture is titled "This Way Please" and the producers should have added, "if you like to laugh"
 Conceived in the gay tradition which made "Waikiki Wedding, rum Ofr the Moon" and other musical comedies the smash hits ot the year, "This Way Please" goes all the way in giving a full portion of side-splitting humor, ear-catchine melodies and the wholesome brand of romance.
 Tn addition to the three top-notch radio humoristS, the comedy brings to the screen Charles Buddy" Rog- CTS as a heart-breaking band lead CT, the vivaciouS, blond Betty Gra- ble, whN cannot resist his allure, that perpetually Sour-pussed com edian, Ned Sparks in the role of a phoney-idea press agent, and Lee Bowman, who made such an irn- pression in T Met Him in Paris, 7 "Last Train From Madrid" and Sophie Lang Goes West" as the enterprising theater manager. Also add, for generous measure, quar- tet of outstanding comedians in Rufe Davis, Rono Vincent, Wally Vernon and Jerry Bergen and a chorus of beautiful girls trained by LeRoy Prin1, Paramount dance di- rector.
 Mary Livingstone plays the role of the head tisherette in love with the press agent. Tibber Mc0ee and Molly enter the show as @ couple of trailer tourists who have trav- eled hundreds of miles to hear Rog- CTS, They too manage to get In plenty of heart-warming tomfool- cry.
 The motion picture theater setting offers 8 natural for the introduction of some popular song hits destined to go humming their way round the world, including CTS It Love Or In- fatuation," "Delighted To Meet You" "This Way Please" and ai, uproariously funny number entitled "Voom- Voom," all turned out by the Boris Morros' tunesters.
 The companion feature presents Jack Holt in an action-packed melo- drama Trapped By G-Men."

With the triumphant Gladys George of "VaiIant Is The Word For Carrie" fame in the title role and with John Beal, Warren Villain, Reginald Owen and William Henry heading an outstanding supporting cast, M-G-M's newest stellar offer ing" Madame X'', comes to the Loew Poll Theater tomorrow for q three day showing.
 The famous stage vehicle, played by almost every front-rank actress of the American tf1eater now comes to the screen in Q fresh and mod ernized treatment by John Meehan who adapted such hits as "A Free Soup and "The Divorcee." It was directed by Sam Wood, responsible for such successes as Joan CraW- ford's within the Law" and the recent Marx Brothers "A Day al the Races"
 Shifting from the famous French Riviera to Paris, New York, New Orleans and BuenoS Aires, the story of Madame x" revolves about the turbulent career of Jacqueline Fleu- riot, the young and beautiful French girl who, forced to flee her hus- band and won because of being falsely accused of murder, gradu- ally descends the scale of life until she becomes Q poverty stricken old harridan of the waterfront cafes. Her ultimate regeneration in one of the most celebrated trial scenes ever written for Q play or picture is the highlight of a story which has become one of the most heart-stabbing dramas of the ages.
 One of the most fascinating as- poets of the picture is the process by which Miss George shows the physical changes of her gradual degradation. The plot, shifting from 1920 to the present day, presents the star first as Q lovely young girl, then as a woman torn by her fragrant life, and finally as the gray-haired old harridan of the sensational courtroom episodes.
 The second big hit on the pro- gram is You're in the Army Now with Wallace Ford.
 Due to other important bookings in our Greatest Movie Season, Madame x" will be shown positive ly for three days only, so mark one of these days as your important en- gagement to see the most talked of picture of a decade.
 Showing for the last times today is Life Begins in College" starring the Ritz Brothers, and "The Wrong Road" with Richard Cromwell and Helen Mack,

 It includes George Murphy, Birl- nie Barnes, Buddy Ebser, Sophie Tucker, Judy Garland. Charles Igor Gorin, Raymond Walburn, Robert Benchley, Willie Howard, Charles Grapewin, Robert Wildhack and chorus of lovely girls.

 Eleanor Powell outdOes her fine est performance as a tap danccr extraordinary. Robert Taylor proves again his versatility as an actor and he also sings very well. without exception the players are uniformly excellent.
 An amusing story supports the lavish sets. Miss Powell, loyal to her horse.ralsing father, backs ,sne of his runners. Tn order to keep the feed box full she dances in q nlght club.
