Potomac will make two moon

The neatly-moustached, suave

lady was already wife, and only
in plays and in the movies does
such a tangle so pleasantly un-
mat itself.
DENISON EXCELLENT
Miss Landi is gay, diverting
and altogether charming and
it is a pleasure to have her the
first guest star of the new
Olney Leslie Denison, playing
the valet turned politician, is
Suave, clever with his timing
and an excellent foil for the
dashing Miss Landi. In support
are zoyla Talma, a bit jittery
on the first night and rather
inclined to over-act; Gordon
Richards, as the prime minis
ter, rather good indeed; Howard
Ferguson, Norman Stuart, JAG
queline Brundage, Robert Lynn
and Elizabeth Ray Williams
completed a cast which did
credit to Mr.. Cochran and Mr..
Vivian, the director.
The sets were charming, fresh
and in fine taste, executed by
Charles Squires they had a semi
permanent appearance with
stabilized illusion.
COMFORTABLE HOUSE
Mr.. Cochran has built his
playhouse with many windows
opening out on the soft air of
summer night; comfortable
seats and many exits tend to-
ward extra effort for pleasure
and convenience of audiences.
Many innovations have been in
troduced which include a peach
hamper, inverted, as shade for
the ceiling lights, a stripped and
scraped half-log to couch the
footlightS, a calm, appraislng
deer head over the stage; feel
ing of friendlineSs pervadeS the
place and the moment you step
out of the car you are of a mind
with the players. The stage is
sizeable and well-lighted, and
there is joy ahead for theater
lovers for Mr.. Cochran promises
some highly interesting names
in this seasons forecast.
The autograph tree" which
bids fair to rival the famous
footprints in concrete court of
Grauman'S Chinese Theater in
Hollywood, rises through the
roof of the porch of the thea
ter, and will carry the names
of the famous who play at the
Olney; with much ceremony
Miss Landi inscribed her name
to lead the rest and the sigma
lures will later be burned into
the tree for posterity.
The Lady Has a Heart" con-
tinues this week with matinees
Thursday and Saturday, and
next week brings a Noel Coward
cycle Tonight at $50" with
delightful Irene Purcell.
It's a great idea, Mr.. Steve
Cochran, and we're all for it.

GAY THRONG
OF the 500 first nighters who
flocked to the Olney. not a few
were surprised and delighted to
see how completely the summer
playhouse had come to life;
bright lights, impressed groups.
hundreds of cars, chatter and a
lot of excitement held the cur
tain for at least Is minutes;
they just couldn't get that gay
crowd to settle down to the en-
joyment of the play.
For enjoyment it is, with a
fine cast of earnest players
headed currently by the charm
ing ELISA Landi in a play much
to her pattern; romantic non
sense titled The Lady Has a
Heart" which brings out the
varied talents of the star and
amuses with a wealth of in
triguing lines.

Real Vi|IQiny
FeQtureS Hit
At Roadside

Opening with the S. R. O.,
and every other sign to denote
that purpose plastered on the
boX-office, the "roadsiders" ush-
cred in sparkling "meller" with
their presentation of "The
Miners Daughter" 1t boasts a
villain that ranks among the
most vile of his class, and offers
two morals, namely: Never dis
trust your wife, and remember
the power of a glass of wine.
Indeed, if it hadn't been for
that glass of fermented spirits
and marital uneaSineSS there
would have been no plot at all.
For it is around these two
simple happenings that Lizzie
May Elwyn, the author, built an
enticing story that delighted the
hearts of theater patrons when
it was first produced in 1888.
But in spite of its antiquity, it
survived its fifty years to tickle
another audience last night.
COMEDY RELIEF
The author adds two "Darkie"
characters to lend comedy re-
lief to dastardly plot that
wrecks the lives of more than
dozen simple country folk who
try in vain to stop its occurrence.
The first-act curtain is so star
ting that it raises you right out
of your chair, and good bang
curtain lines are one of the
Sign-poSts of an excellent play
wright. BY this one accomplish
ment, it easy to say that Lizzie
Elwyn knew all the angles to
play writing.
But there is one thing that
the author never expected in
this complicated masterpiece,
and that was to find a villain
that SO closely resembled the
arch fiend of the comic strips,
Rudolph RasSendyll. Many a
kid was up at dawn on Sunday
morning that he might be first
to see what happened next in
"Hairbreath Harry"
Not that Norman Rose, who
portrays the villain, Arthur
Floyd, bears in toto the facial
features of this gentleman, but
several quaint and quite useful
expressions he uses bear marked
resemblance.
NEVER SUCH VILLAIN
We commend Mr.. Rose for his
villainy, for never did Roadside
boast such an actor whose eyes
and mouth spoke cunning and
deviltry as those of Norman
Rose.
AS Winnifred Clifton. Frances
Brunt, the original heroine of
Roadside, is charming and pre-
Sents her role with conviction,
while Pryor McFadden, as Miss
Brunt's love, produces as true a
hero as has been seen at the
barn. In several of their love
scenes these two are terrific.
We also cheer Ralph Fowler
for his performance of the diff.
ficult role of the farmer; Betty
Gray, for her heroine; Betty
Rice, for her Nanny" and
James Crawford, for his Ebony,
though he is a trifle rusty in his
Negro dialect.
An entra 'acte entitled "The
Fatal Wedding" is definitely ap-
propriate. Here Frances Brunt,
Betty Gray, Ed Stevlingson and
Norman Rose sing in the usual
manner. In reality it is a duet
of female voices with the males
for effect. The punch comes
when the quartet does a little
trucking to lend a modern
touch.
Others in the cast are Edward
BaggS, Rhodes K. Scherer, Eu-
gene F. Dunno, Alice Tams Ruff
ner and LaVerne Guild.

tions at both the Loew's Capitol
and Palace Theaters starting

open on the screen of LoeW'S
Palace on Friday.

I'll Give A Million" is a
novel story concerning itself
with a young millionaire who is
lost from his yacht, becomes
friendly with a strange philo-
sophical tramp and then turns
hobo himself in his quest for
something more important than

flavor distinguishes this story
which is gay and dramatic, hu-
morouS and adventurous.
RIOTOUS HIT
''Love Finds Andy Hardy" is
perhaps one of the years most
refreshing comedy romances,
and in the few cities in which
it has already played has proved
a riotous hit and threatens to
vie for popularity with many of
the most successful pictures of

the Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier prob
ably are more notably real to her than
such exciting but ephemeral phenomena

Doubtless, the Smithsonian Institution,

only is the selective system to be i'm

to the idea Of making promotions within
the service where possible. and that
principle should be followed.
Now the next move is up to Congress.
According to an unoficial estimate, the

81 100000 more annually, or . little bit
over a third Of what the Civil Service

Young Visitor.

Everybody comes to Washington
sooner or later. The Nations Capital is
more than the seat of the Federal Gov-
ernment. Its power Of attraction is a
force distinctively its own. Perhaps it is
the one city of the world in which ideals
predominant over doubts and fears, the
alleged realities" of skeptics and
agnostics. The founders of the Republic
intended that the heart of the Union,
strong in faith and hope, should beat
at this designated spot Civilization,
they believed, should be dramatized here
in terms Of a democratic culture, pro-
gressive and humane in character. The
District Of Columbia, in their vision, was
to be an American equivalent of ancient
Athens-a community dedicated to free
dom and wisdom, liberty and the
dynamic philosophy of enfranchised
truth.
Miss Shirley Temple, however, may
not have thought about these things.
Like ten million other children, she
came to Washington to see "the sights"

Capital as the place where the Presi-
dent resides and where Congress meets,

The object is to check pressure for

A fourth plan involves q new effort to
educate business leaders into an under
standing of the viewpoint Of the New
