STRAND

The Ritz Brothers in their fun- niest vehicle to date Straight, Place and Show" will entertain theater- goers today and tomorrow at the Warner Bros. Strand theater where they will be seen in the headliner of the fine twin feature bill.
 New gags, new songs and swell romance make the picture as excit- ing as a photo finish at the race track. The daffy antics of the Ritzs as they buy, sell, rent and steal horses will undoubtedly leave audi enceS rolling in the aisleS.
 The story opens at one of the big race tracks and before you can even get your breath, the boys are off on one of the most comical sequences of the whole picture.
 Handling the romantic angle are Richard Arlen, Ethel Norman, and Phyllis Brooks. It seems as though Arlen is in love with Miss Brooks, but this lovely debutante is more interested in horses than she is in Arlen. Jealous because he believes Phyllis cares more for Playboy, whom she owns, than for him, Rich ard promises that if Playboy wins he twill build him 8 stable right of the bedroom" If Playboy loses, Arlen is to become the new owner.
 Playboy loses and Arlen turns him over to the Ritz Brothers, who plan to enter him in the big sweep stakes.
 The many comical sequences fol- lowing this will keep audiences roaring for months. The RitzeS try ing to raise the entry fee for the sweepstakes and also trying to as- sure Playboy's winning are among theSt rib-wreckers.
 New songs sung by the charming songstress Ethel Norman include "Why Not String Along With Me?" and with You on My Mind"
 Included on the same show is Five of a Kind" starring the Dionne Quintuplets. Jean Hersholt and other notables of the previous Dionne successes are included in the supporting cast.

and asserted 1t was the business OF
the church In America to see that
citizens of this Republic were
grounded in the principles Of night
government and in 4 knowledge OF
both their rights and their duties"
The Catholic University rector At
tackled government by ruthless
might" and declared the only power
which can demand and maintain
the democratic formula rs one
which can create virtuous and in
telligent people. That power, Of
course, is the church. he said.
"The Catholic University Of
America has been told by the Holy
Father himself that 1t must be pre-
pared to accept even more momen-
tous responsibilities in the future
than have marked its first so years" l"
Msgr. Corrigan said. Referring ia
what he called the "distressful con-
ditions" in the world today, he de-
clared the Pope insisted on the

A IL that remained of 1887 in
~ sports today were memories of
~ a spectacular kaleidoscope Of

The old man who had ruled the
world waved. a kindly sovereign over

fronts in 1887 Uncle Sam marched to
glory. In spheres of major compete
ton, favorites performed with a con-
sistency that was welcome to the
harassed experts. On the whole, 1875
class of performances was strikingly
above average.
The Kaleidoscope of 1887 moved with
breath-taking speed. There was the
picture of the Yankees again over
powerlng the baseball world and what
is called the national pastime scared
to new popularity heights. Little War
Admiral. greatest son of the great
Man O. War, negotiated the triple"
