angle of vision it is possible for
car to enter or leave the arena
at any time without blotting
out the view of others. Paper
bag-rustlers, plot-explainers and
gum-cheWers may enjoy a field
day-the dialogue can be heard
in the next county with no
trouble at all.
Theater is situated a few miles
south of Alexandria and the
back of the screen borders on
Richmond Highway, Route l.
State police were out in full
force last night to handle the
jam. So were some very attrac-
tive young ladies who dispensed
corsages to each feminine
guest.
Oh, yes-the screen attraction
was that bit of Lubitsch fluff,
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife"
starring Claudette Colbert and
Gary Cooper. The glamourous
duo were given real competition
by an orange-colored moon
which appeared just above the
trees fringing the theater.
Some stuff! r. ON.

Mt. Vernon, Drive-In Theoter,
Opened on Richmond Pike

Catering exclusively to the
carriage trade, the Mt. Vernon
DRIVEN theater had its premiere
last night before a capacity lot
of $50 automobiles, or roughly
about 1900 persons. Theater is
the first of its kind to be opened
in this area.
Being one Of the curious who
attended, we are happy to re-
port that we had no difficulty in
hearing the dialogue, nor did we
notice any distortion of vision
despite a screen which measures
so by 40 feet. Incidentally,
Manager Harold Gould says that
only exceptionally heavy fog or
snow will interfere with the pro
lection of the film. No snow
was in evidence last evening.

Basketball Stars
Now Screen Stars

w 49, w. - ~ -
Stanford's famous basketball
team which brought three ma
tional championships to the
Palo Alto university will soon
make its screen debut.
The entire quintet has been
cast in Paramount's Campus
Confessions" The story of the
picture centerS around basket
ball and the players are under
acting contracts for the picture.
The pictures cast is headed
by Hank Luisetti, three-year ALL
American forward. The others
include H. B. Lee, Dinty Moore
and Art Stoefen.
A complete basketball stadium
for the picture is being erected
on a giant Paramount sound
stage. 1t is Hollywood's first
venture into basketball as a
source of motion picture enter
tainment, although every studio
in Hollywood makes a football

and physical reactions of the
underworld while carryin g
through criminal jobs.
The audience let in on this
secret, is concerned-perhaps
fascinated is the word-waiting
to see how his weird adventure
will turn out. It might be said
that the picture is a fairly faith
full reproduction Of the play,
that both leave in doubt
whether crime really pays, and
whether the eminent medico is
in possession of all of his fac
ulties, or is the unconscious vic
tim of a monomania.
Bert Lytell'S characterization
is assured and engaging. He
makes his MD. an appealing
figure. although the sympathies
of all loving law and order
should be with baffled Scotland
Yard.
LEONTOVICH is NEXT
The experienced troupers in
the Cochran organization check
in with the best score cards.
For instance, the bit of Badger"
Lee, played by an actor pro-
grammed as Henry Notman-
though he bears a strange re-
semblance to Director George
Vivian-is perhaps the most
polished piece of support given
the guest star.
Likewise the pal" Green of
Gordon Richards is neat piece
of character work, that not even
an August night bug which
alighted on his nose could
swerve from the objective. Les
lie Denison, Zolya Talma and
Robert Lynn were others who
served competently.
The Cochran trouperS have a
little ingenue, Margaret Wilson,
who shows great promise. She
played Nurse Ann last night,
very capably, following up q
fine debut in Personal Appear
ance."

A glance around the theater
revealed it to be constructed in
series of Semi-circular ramps
which elevate the front and de-
press the rear of each car as it
comes into place. Through this
arrangement the vision of occu-
pants of cars in the last row,
about $50 feet from the Masonite

There is comparatively little
