The Shining Hour
Now at Columbia

Since it gives Miss Joan Crawford
the best script she has seen in a long
series of manneQuinS wearing red
and fans seeing it, it is not surpris-
ing that "The Shining Hour" should
be back at the Columbia for sec
ond week on F street. Even this
one falls apart somewhere not quite
within walking distance of its desti-
nation, but for all of that it is glib
photoplay, all polished and glittering
and sophisticated (albeit sophisti-
Gated in that slightly self-conscious
manner of M-G-M sophistication)
The major difficulty with "The
Shining Hour" probably is that the
cinema should not undermine the
morals of the land. An engrossing
story of marital quadrangle,
brought to life under the ministra-
tions of Margaret Sullivan, Melvyn
Douglas, Fay Banter, Robert Young
and Miss Crawford, THE Shining
Hour" stops being engrossing only
when 1t approaches its ending and
must find some way out. 1t deserts
logic and takes the prettiest way.
Despite its delving into happy fan
tasy for its conclusion there still
are many things in favor of 1.-THE
Shining Hour" The playing of Miss
SULLIVAN and Mr.. Douglas, for in
stance, is something that should be
a delight to every one looking on. A
pair of truly dependable performers,
these people, and they never make
a wrong move. Neither, for that
matter, does Fay BANTER, even
when the script gives her spin and
makes her do an about-face with
her Characterization. And Miss
Crawford returns the compliment of
q script superior to those she has
had lately with a performance that
will vindicate her with her fans
(who probably are legion). H. M.

-HIS is one of the most highly
priced bivalve shells to add to
your collection. The Eastern
Il seas are the natural habitat of
these very beautifully scultpured
shells. There is but one species in the
genus Hippopus, but members of them
are found In such abundance from
Eastern seas that they are shipped all
over the world to collectors.
It is, therefore. a challenge to you
to inspect the coral reefs most care

the bears paw clam. and see if you
do not discover one of these handsome
mollusks. The length of an adult is
from to 7 inches and the width may
be from to 10 inches.
When the CLAIMS shell is closed, it is
one of the most beautifully ridged and
eolorful shells you have the pleasure of
seeing. The toothed edges fit perfectly,
the channeled ridges form an intricate
pattern and the form Of the shell is
another point in its favor, making it
well worthy of the high value placed

Of their almost ethereal beauty.
Like all other members Of the clam
tribe, this clam finds its food by bury
ing itself in the sand at low tide with
its tubelike siphon extended to the sur
face. The minute animal life to be
found in the water is sufficient to keep
the clam in food. Unlike SO many of
It's cousins, it does rot depend upon the
byssus Of sticky threads to anchor 1t
to rocks, but is able to get about and
hold the position taken without them.
As far as the value Of these clans

 So far as others of the 41 dele gates to the probate convention arc concerned, it was reliably reported that they are split up in groups of from two to six in support of the approximate dozen candidates.
