more favorable position Of Federal as
sociations in this regard, as compared
to other savings and loan associations,
Is attributed principally to write-downs
at the time of conversion from State
and Federal charter by many Of these
associations and to the fact that the
newly-organized Federal associations
have had little time to accumulate
real estate.

Tot the Victor
Held Over

If ITO the Victor" the Gau-
mont film, now playing at the
Belasco Theater, was the ordi.
nary sort of good picture, we
would have at our fingertips the
words to praise it-magnificent,
sparkling, suspenseful, and the
like.
In short, it is a tender, moving
and altogether noteworthy pro-
duction.
What makes the picture out
standing, aside from its I'M
usual background, its delightful
love story, and its strong dra-
matte values, is the performance
Of Will Fyffe, who shares honors
with John Loder and Margaret
Lockwood, but whose charac-
terization stands alone, a truly
magnificent achievement.
AS McAdam, the willy Scotch
shepherd, at odds with his
neighborS and all the world,
Fyffe, that Staunch old vaude-
william, reveals a depth of un.
derstanding, and a sense of
drama unsupported by even his
oldest admirers.
Recital Of the story would be
inadequate, since it is impoSSi-
BILE to convey in a brief synopsis
the manner in which it is told.
Suffice it to say that it in
wolves the dour McAdam in a
feud against his village; that it
includes a good romantic situa-
ton, and that it makes of a
sheep-herding contest, involving
two Of the most intelligent of
sheepdogs, an incredibly dra-
matte situation.
Add it all up and you have a
pretty big moneys worth at the
Belasco Theater this week.

"Bordertown"
At the MET"

Perhaps the reason for the re-
turn of "Bordertown" is the fact
that Paul NUM- won the Acad-
envy Award this year with his
Characterization of Emil lola
in the picture Of the same name.
Because this picture ran some
time ago does not mean that it
has lost its appeal, nor that
Mum was not then as good as
he is now. He possesses the
same qualities in "Bordertown"
as in "Zola," the picture that
marked him as the outstanding
artist in 1887. So thinking in
this channel, he should have
been chosen the same with
Johnny Rameriez" in Border
town."
1t is the story of a young
Mexican who sets his mind on
becoming a man OF influence,
and to do this, he reasons. he
must have money. He turns to
running a gambling establish
ment, and the boss wife takes a
fancy to him.
Bette Davis plays the boss
wife with dramatic scenes that
she has yet to equal, while Mar
garet Lindsay portrays the debu-
tante with youthful zest and ap
peal.

Harold b. Smith and Reginald

the germs of fine entertainment.
The famous BoStonians played
robin Hood" more than 1000
performances, with. Henry Clay
Barnabee as the Sheriff Of Not
tingham and Jesse Bartlett
Davis as Maid Marian.
De Wolf Hopper revived it
many times as a musical, and
the movies finally took posses
sion, when Douglas Fairbanks
made it as q silent feature
around 1920.
This same House of Warner
took a year Of advance study to
prepare 1.-THE Life of Emile

Glen Echo Park welcomed a

six passenger boats, enjoyed an
all-time peak of popularity.
The new fleet of motor boats
on the waterway canal were
kept busy every minute, while
the old favorites, like the
Coaster Dip, Whip, Pretzel,
Aeroplane Swings and smaller
amusements, proved that they
can hold their public in spite

AS the final send-off for the
season, the Gayety offers a
"bang-up" sepia revue entitled
Brown Skin Models" 1t is not
an ordinary stage presentation
that is seen at the Ninth Street
house, but one that consists
largely of swing and jam ses-
sions that are the best.
Jesse j m IS, a dark brown
youth with no use of his legs,
decidedly is the hit Of the show.
He performs difficult tap num-
bers on his crutches. To the
ordinary dancer his steps would
seem an effort, but this boy has
overcome his tremendous handi-
cap to bring down the house in
applause.
Then there is Tanya who
actually ties herself in knots,
seemingly so tight, that one
would think she would need a
Thurston or a Houdini to I'M
tangle herself. She too is a
sensation, as gaSpS and applause
rise from the patrons. Then,
too, remarks are made about her
figure and beauty.
Ordinary comedy has no look
in as AL Stewards swing band
pounds out rhythm by the mile.
for his drummer, Kidd Lipps
Hackett, is comedy enough. He
beats the fastest traps that has
ever beat at the Gayety.
A dance team who call them
selves ''The Three Speed Kings"
live up to their name, while
Dewey Moon sings with one Of
the finest voices ever heard at
the Gayety.
So the Gayety, through its
manager, Bill Collins, bids adieu
to Washington until September
when they promise even better
revues than have been seen
these last few months.-R. H. S.
