Annapolis, and Freddie Storm,
newSpaperman, were both actors
in a meeting that was filled with
coincidence, last Thursday. It
seems that Freddie, who was

party, was reposing comfortably
in the garden of the superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy,
Admiral Wilson Brown, when the
gate opened and a loud voice in
quired "Is Freddie Storm here"
Naturally, he was and being
curious like all news hounds,
answered that he was Freddie
Storm. The possessor of the loud
voice advanced promptly and
Freddie recognized his old and
good friend, Commander Erck.
However, there is another story
about Commander Erck that is
extremely intriguing. Not too
long ago when the commander
was in Honolulu and in COM
mand of the submarine the
S-2S, the Hollywood industry de-
scended upon Honolulu to make
some shots for the movie titled
Hell Below" and Commander
Erck was asked to be Of assist
ance in technical correctness.
He obliged and he and the en-
tire company soon became the
hest of friends. There was one
scene in the movie where the
Secretary of the Navy was sup
posed to send a telegram adj
vising full speed ahead" for
the submarines. So the Direc-
tor of the film, flashed this
cablegram across the screen
and signed it, Charles Erck.
Secretary of the Navy. And
as far as we know, Commander
Erck is the only naval officer
whom the movies, great as they

many battling tricks. OF course
not all of these are performed
in full view Of the audience,

mystify many in the audience
and also enough to create the
illusion that they have seen the

into magnificent coach, drawn
by four gray horses and a coach
and footman.
For without dimming of lights
or apparent artifice, the fairy
godmother appears to the weep

of her magic wands transforms
the little tatterdemalion into
the most beautiful of heroines

THE WOMEN". OPENS
Amusing Expose Of Feminine
F FoibIes Enjoyed BY
National Audience

The Women" Clare Boothe's
devastating expose" Of the
faults and foibleS of the alleg-
edly unfair sex, opened a re-
turn engagement at the Ma
tional yesterday afternoon.
While not wholly in keeping
with the Christmas spirit of
peace and good will, "The Wom-
en-" is still firstrate holiday en-
tertainment, providing many a
laugh for men at the expense Of
women and giving the latter a
chance to laugh at themselves.
To men 1t is an amusing reve-
lation that there are so many
types of designing, deceitful,
"catty" females. Women (who
by their attendance are chiefly
responsible for making the play
a Broadway "hit") are appar-
emily divided on whether or not
the author deserves to be quar-
tered and hung for her "be-
trayal" of her sex.
In any case "The Women"
makes for a diverting evenings
entertainment and undoubtedly
provokes wide discussion that
goes on and on far into the
night after the final curtain.
In the cast of all women and
no men there is hardly a single
character undeserving of cen
sure. They are for the most
part a pack of deceitful, gossip
ing "catS."
A competent cast, practically
the same which appeared here
last spring, got the utmost out
Of the authors biting lines. Lois
Wilson again is the unglamorous
wife who thinks she can hold
her husband by. simply being a
devoted and trusting helpmate.
Through the connivance of her
loose-living, bridge-playing, gos-
siping friends she takes the road
to Reno, abandoning her stray
ing spouse to a glamour girl.
Alice Buchanan again plays
Sylvia, the cattiest Of the
felines with which the play
abounds.
A newcomer in the cast is
Delma Byron, a striking blonde
who looks and acts to perfec.
ton the role Of Crystal Allen,
for whom Stephen Haines is
unfaithful to his wife. One of
the highlights Of the perform
ance is the scene in the dress
ing rooms of a swank Fifth
Avenue dress establishment
when the wife confronts her
rival.

Lewis Stone and the others in

edy which went to Hollywood

Lee Tracy as its screen hero.

every trace of the original.
Billy Gaxton. with his black
patent-leather hair, is again the
perfect foil for the bumbling
Victor Moore, and Sophie Tuck
ers role fits her like Schiapa-

beautifully balanced. and Cole
Porter's lyrics are both smart

personal ribbing.
