Suspended Sentence
 In Withdrawn Case

A 30-days' suspended Jail sentence was imposed on Walter Matthews, colored, of Hawkins street today by Judge Edward J. Finn in the court of common pleas. Matthews was charged with assaulting William Austin with a knife, April 30.
 Prosecuting Attorney William Lar kin recommended the suspended sentence, stating that Matthews was attempting to eject Austin from his (MatthewsD home, when Austin en- tered while under the influence of liquor. Atty. Larkin said that Mat thews might have been forced to use his knife. Matthews pleaded guilty to the charge.
 Filed Notice
 Attorney Joseph c. Guilfoile, who appeared for Matthews, claimed that the case should never have been brought before common pleas court because he had filed notice of withdrawal with the clerk of the city court. The notice was never for warded to the common pleas court, he said.
 Another matter which was said to have been withdrawn, although no notification was received by com- mon pleas court from city court, was that of Clifford Tapley, charged with non-support. Judge Finn or- dered the clerk to mark it with drawn today. He also asked that Clerk Irving w. Pasternak of city court be requested to send a letter to common pleas court, giving notice of the withdrawal of the appeal.

who makes love to his masters
daughter married to a noble

Snow Whites
Fourth Week

The S. r. o. sign is still the
order of the day as Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs"
begins a fourth week at Keith's
Theater. Whether a few of the
people of Washington still have
not seen this Walt Disney film,
or whether they, too, are back
for a second viewing of this
animated color cartoon, is a
matter of conjecture.
Suffice it that the audience

the mechanical and artistic
standpoints, it is certainly re-

unusual. Last, but not least, to

Love, Honor and Behave" is
the picture in which was intro
duced the popular ballad Bel
Mir Bist du Schoen." Unfortu-
nately the song has been done to
death and no longer enjoys the
appeal it had few weeks ago.
sPRIGHTLY COMEDY
"Love. Honor and Behave" is,
as you might suppose, comedy
of married life and domestic
discord. The early scenes are
laid in the hectic, postwar pro-
hibition days when parties were
enlivened by bathtub gin.
The domestic happiness OF a
gin-age couple is disrupted when
the wife finds the husband
carrying on an affair with a
friend. They part, she going to
Reno and taking their son
along. The father, hard
headed business man, wants the
boy to follow in his footsteps,
to fight hard to win without
too much regard for the meth
DDS employed. After the divorce
the mother takes charge OF the
sons upbringing, instilling in
him the ideal of playing fair
and being a good loser.
The son (pbEyed by Wayne
Morris falls ii love and mar"
ries a girl Priscilla Lane, her
self the daughter of divorced
parents. The marriage is headed
for the rocks because the young
husband is always a good
loser, but lacks enough gump-
ton TO fight his way to success.
The big scene Of the picture is
the climax when Wayne Morris
comes to life and gives his wife
a well-deserved thrashing with
all their in-laws looking on. 1t
is a hilarious scene that mas the
audience bowling and raises
what might nave Deen a moo
erately amusing comedy into :.
hilarious farce.
Priscilla Lane makes a spirited
young wife. and Wayne Morris
is well cast as the young hus-
band. John Litel, Dick Foran
and VIM Watson are others in
the cast.
THE BATTLE OF SWING
The heated swing battle be-
tween the BaStor bandster and

rhythm, dancing, singing and
even acting are submerged by
the exquisite grace of Sonia

there is a cast crammed with
talent, tunes to whistle on the

the skating stars show in its
entirety.
FULL OF SKATING

Romero, however, makes a
false move when he neglects
the little ice queen from Nor

his managerial wing and you

such ease, such grace. such
oomph!
Love in the frozen Northland,
love under the palm trees at
Miami Beach, love at a ham,
burger counter, love in a fury,
even lessons in love, might be
another title for the story part
of this playlet, for there are
gorgeous sets for the little skater
and though she is a bit uneasy
on concrete, on ice she is superb.
MANY MELODIES
Beside the aforementioned
Sonia Henie, Don Ameche, Cesar
Romero and Ethel Norman (She
has a real hit tune in you Ap-
peal to Me"), there are Jean
Hersholt, Billy Gilbert, Wally
Vernon and Ell Brendel, all help
ing a huge supporting cast to
make entertainment for you.
There is an ice carnival in which
hundreds of skaters and ice ex-
hibitionists are featured.
Subsidiaries include a Pete

weird and exciting experiences
