Thanks to his timely aid, the
British force is saved from

America for personal appear
ances with the feature.
MASSEY'S ACE VOICE
If it is a confused fumbl-
ing piece of story telling, it
makes up for this uncertain
quality by scenes of fighting
that are as exciting as they are
noisy. Perhaps "Loch Lomond"
has never been sung more ef-
fectively than this soldier chorus
renders it with blended voices.
Valerie Hobson, called Eng
lands best dressed woman. as
the wife of the Resident Com
mander, brings a strong pathoS
to her role. The only white
woman in Tokut. she is at once
an inspiration and a goddess to
her fellow countrymen.
Desmond Tester, as the drum
mer boy who befriendS Sabu. is
excellent, as are Amid Taftezani,

Don Marquis The Old Soak
Presented at Cross Roads

Don Marquis quaint comedy
of prohibition days, "The Old
Soak" is the current attraction
at the Cross Roads barn in
nearby Virginia, with Arch Nc
Donald presenting himself as
the amiable topper of the fun
drama.
The bumbling and well-in-
toned star Of the Marquis opus
is played in a manner to bring
out his good points, to generate
affection for a confirmed rum
pot who was not as industrious
as he might have been. How
ever, the luck Of script has his
mistakes converted into first
aids to happiness, and Actor Nc
Donald by his assured perform
ance cemented this esteem for
Clem Hawley.

Final Days at
Glen Echo

Weekend visitors to Glen
Echo were more plentiful than
ever. Apparently everyone wants
to enjoy the park as much as
possible before the season ends.
Saturday nights crowd of dan
GERS in the Spanish Garden had
a thoroughly enjoyable time
stepping to the tunes Of Mac
Williams orchestra.
Swimmers from the four cor
ners of the city took advantage
of the splendid facilities of the
Crystal Pool, which enjoyed ca
pacity crowds day and night.
No amusement installed in the
big park for years made such a
hit as the World Cruise" which
is still on the must list of all
visitors.
Other improved features which
could not complain of any "re-
ceSsion" were the Dodgem
Rides, with their new stream
lined cars and the fleet of new
motorboats on the waterway Ca
nal. These two attractions are
always the week-ender'S delight.
Old-timers in the popularity run
ming included also the big
coaster dips, airplane swings,
whip, pretzel and amusing Mid
way.
The picnic grounds of Glen
Echo continue to exert their
charm, particularly on Saturday
and Sunday. Good street car
service and plenty of free park
ing space solved the transporta-
ton problem for visitors,

'Antoinette' Is
On the Woy

marie Antoinette," despite
heat, summer competition, etc.,
is tripping along as one of the
most successful road-shoW pic
lures of the last few years. It
opened two-a-day scale of
prices at the Astor Theater,
August 16, and is playing to
capacity-one of the very few
theaters (if not the only one)
on Broadway which can make
that boast. With possibly one
exception, New York movie
critics laud Norma Shearer and
Marie" to the skies.
In Los Angeles, at the Carthay
Circle Theater, it opened July 8
and is still running. Its at
tendance record is the biggest of
the year and it ranks among
the four biggest hits ever in
that thcater of hits.
Marie Antoinette," instead of
being road-showed throughout
the country as originally plan
ned by Metro Goldwyn-Mayer
is being released generally at
popular prices while it still runs
at So in the Astor and Carthay
Circle. N.-G.-M. decided to
make it available to theaterS
generally as a gesture toward
the l. .dustry's new season drive.
Marie Antoinette" will be the
season-opening picture at Loew's
Palace following "Alexander'S
Ragtime Band" Tyrone Power,
John barrymore. Joseph Schild-
kraut, Gladys George, Robert

the huge and distinguished cast.

Lakewood Theater is preparing
to wind up its 45th season ).
Which makes it somewhat of a
granddaddy Of the hay-mow cir.
cult. L am reminded of this
because it was at Lakewood that
the late Don Marquis made his
acting debut, playing Glen Haw-
ley in 'The Old Soak" his own
comedy. SO that the Cross
Road Theater in nearby Vir-
ginia, reviving it this week, is
not the first cow-bell barn to
offer the bucolic fun classic. ,
Down in S!'cwhegan, actors,
directors, all principals, are
paid $50 per week, no more, no
less. They have attracted some
of the most famous stars of
Broadway to the Pine Tree State
drama development. AL profits
and the Lakewood generally
plays in the black-are put
back into the plant, which now
numbers some so buildings
around the lake. Owen Davis,
dean of the colony, has written
a new play for every summer
of the past 26 spent at Skowhe-
gan. Most Of the customers for
the 1,070-Seat theater are sum-
mer visitors.

thur Murray is teaching it and
says: "It will undoubtedly be
bigger than the Big Apple. It's.
extremely simple, gay. and

I understand Gene Ford is
thinking Of producing a Lam
beth Walk number for the Loew
houses, hence give him this
history of the reigning fad in
terpsichore, showing that the
dance is not new, at all, at all.
It was taken after the American
cakewalk and was originated in
London in 1901 Alex Hur-
ley, of London, created the
dance and used it in a Music
Hall sketch called Lambeth
Walk" Hurley was a well
known star of the Varieties who
featured coster songs Hur-
ley used Is people in his act and
staged the dance in a White
chapel setting Old timers
will perhaps remember Hurley's
wife, Alice Lloyd, who made a
name for herself in American
vaudeville at the turn of the
century My informant, and

booking English vaudeville in
1901 and I'll bet a hundred to
q dime he speaks the truth {.

to be so old, it's new And
it's Just q derivation Of the
American cakewalk, which, by
the way, is liable to pop up any
