laughter that swept the theater.
It's a story of girl meets
boy" Susan Vance, the niece
of a wealthy dowager. bumps
into a serious-minded dinosaur-
ologist and decides she's going
to have him.
Cary Grant plays the Scien-
fist. Apprised that he is about
to marry his assistant, Susan
abductS him to her country
home and for the next "a hours
leads him into the most hectic
experiences imaginable-even in
Hollywood.
RUGGLES AND CATLETT
Two leopardS, one tame and
the other an escaped man-eater,
figure in the story, and no little
excitement is caused by mis-
taken identity of the beasts.
Charlie RuggleS, as a big-game
hunter who speaks the language
OF the leopardS, and Walter
Catlett, as a hick constable,
ably assist in raising the farce
to a high pitch. May Robson
has the role of the rich aunt.

lene Dietrich vehicle, which, for
all Of his suave handling,
amounted to little more than
nine or ten reels Of well
modulated conversation. 49,
This time, Lubitsch and his
audiences are both happier. The
new vehicle is a merry adapta-
ton of the Alfred Savoir play.
It provides near-perfect roles for
the. luscious Miss Colbert and
the tall, gangling Cooper. And
best Of all, it provides ample
opportunity for. the gay, laugh
ter-compelling technique Of such
Lubitsch hits as Merry Wild
ow," Love Parade" Smiling
Lieutenant" and Paradise for
Three" =.
Claudette Colbert is the lovely
daughter OF an impoverished
marquis; Cooper is an American
multimillionaire. They meet at
the pajama counter Of q depart
ment store, carry on their ro-
nance on q bathing float and
a night-club floor. The only
fly in the ointment is discovered
by Claudette shortly before their
marriage: Cooper has married
seven wives before her!
Still in love with him, she de-
termines that this eighth sally
into matrimony-or perhaps IL
should be spelled matri-money-
will have no casual, cash settle
ment ending. She demands q
marriage contract providing
twice as much money as any
other wife received, in case OF
divorce; and then sets out to
change some Of the bridegreom's
ideas. How she does it COM
pletes a hilarious photoplay that
kept the laughter going steadily
with Earle audiences yesterday.
BIG STAGE SHOW

Colbert seem to have enjoyed

they bring to life in this pro-
duction. While they occupy the
screen a majority OF the time,

ton, as the marquis: David
Niven, as an optimistic sutton OF
Claudette's; Elizabeth Patter-
son, Herman Bing and Warren
Hymer.
The Lubitsch idea Of fun Is
displayed in nearly every scene
of the picture from the very
start, when clerk, floor walker,
assistant vice president, vice
president and president are all
called in to decide if the depart
ment store can sell Cooper a
pair of pajamaS without the
pants.
They call the Earle stage

GOOD BAND PROGRAM
Opening his act to the strains
of his theme song, the popular
izer or Sugar Blues" swings
through a Swift series of dulcet
tunes with the orchestra. Pune
tuating the orchestral perfor-
nance are some vocal interludeS
by the Three Bennett Sisters
and Wayne Gregg, the latter
doing an excellent job with
Thanks for the Memory"
An imitation of Henry Busse
playing when Day Is Done" is
followed by some real Mccoy
trumpet gymnastics in the rem
dering of the leaders perennial
favoriteS, Sugar Blues" and
"Tear It Down" The act is
closed amid a bedlam of cacoph-
ony and abandon, with the
stage proceedings turned into
what technicians of swing
quantity term a jam session.
Swings latest visitor to F
Street is a refreshing oasis in a
desert of spotlight-grabbing or
cheStra pilots. He gives the
talent in his troupe a chance
to express itself and as a result
his act is varied and diverting.
Sheila Barrett, WaShington's
gift to the art of mimicry and
current darling of Manhattan's
swank Rainbow Room, tickleS
the risibilities with her imper.
Sonations of stars attending a
Hollywood first night. Carlo, w.
c. Fields, Mae West, and Simone
Simon come in for some deft
ribbing in the hilarious barrage
of caricature laid down by
Sheila'S clever and vaguely
libelouS tongue. AS usual she
accompliSheS her devastating
portraits sans benefit of make
up.
ROMANTIC COMEDY
For an encore she does Noel
CoWard'S Mad About the Boy"
in the manner of a young lady
fresh from Dixie.
George Campo. in a Jimmy
Savo makeup, does a panto-
mime act which was particular
ly well received by the after
noon audience. Dutheros, Jean
and Joan provide a dancing
turn which gives an extremely
well-rounded variety bill an
added FLIP of advertisement.

lively photographed in sepia
tintS, and against the handsom
background of Southern Califor-
mia scenery is unfoldeG the time
honored story of the 190h Be-
lasco stage production OF The
Girl" who runs the Polka saloon
in little mining town Of the
Old West; of Ramerez the cash
ing desperate with price on
his head, and the sheriff who
nobly gives up the girl to his
rival.
There is enough material in
this one to stock up half a dozen
wide-open-spaces yarns, Tor it
starts off with THE Girl" and
the bandit as children, and
takes them through the years
until they meet and fall in love
in Monterey.
A BENCHLEY SHORT
You get plenty of riding and
shooting In the piece, and there
is also plenty of singing and
dancing, with scenes in the
Polka saloon, scenes Of the
bandits hide-out and scenes in
Monterey added for good meas
ure during the two-rour run of
the film.
From the supporting cast
come good performances by H.
B. Warner as the Padre, by
Walter Pidgeon as the gambling
sheriff, Buddy Ebsen in a COM
edy role, Leo Garlic, Priscilla
Lawson and Leonard Penn.
Director Robert z. Leonard
proceeds at a leisurely pace, and
moviegoers will find that Girl
of the Golden West" has been
given the imposing production
value characteristic of M-G-M
pictures.
The supplementary program
includes a Robert Benchley
short, How To Make Out Your
Income Tax" the News of the
Day" and short comedy fea-
lures. A long show, but a good
one.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CHEAT UPON THE SIMPLE

What seems TO me TO he the most cynical and
dangerous piece Of current political ,mpertlnence
is the, constant sneerng by officials in this admin
stration at those who protest the alarming growth
Of debt and taxes as a result of federal extrava-
gance ss 4
The protestants are of course, all economic roy
aliss who squeal solely because they object to hav
ing their i-gotten gains taken away to be divided
up by a great humanitarian government and given
to those who have less. Since those who have less
are far more numerous than those vino have more,
this becomes sure-fre rahble- rousing 1t is almost
impossible to make clear to those who have less
that through the intricate Of taxation meth
DDS, there is not one Of them-whether employed
OF unemployed and on relief-who does not suffer
take.oF of at least one-ffth of all he earns or
gets by the hidden hand of federal state and local
taxation. Taxes are paid in the sweat of every
man who labors. They are a burden on production
and can he paid only in production So said
Franklin and he never spoke more truly.
It's fraud on the poor. BY lust so much an
unlimited waste. extravaganza and governmental
profligacy increase, so will that pnchng the
food, fuel, shelter and clothing of the poor in
crease 1t is cruelty by officials who have lntelll-
gence to know the truth about this, not to acknowl-
edge it to then victims. but to conceal If.
The most charitable excuse is ignorance. Rut It
IS poor at best for none so ignorant should occupy
such places of responsibility. But ignorance will
not excuse that other frequently repeated piece OF
bald-faced deceit-"rhat we don't know anything
about real tax burdens; that our great mother
taxes and carries debt
much greater than our own" My own particular
admiration Harry Hopkins, I'm not being sarcaS-

cuRsrNc TIE SOURCE OF CIVILIZATION

1t seems to have become more OF less popular to
condemn. if not to curse, industry.
To make it appear to the unknowng or the I'M
Informed that industry is monster in the exercise
of it's powers that it is the particular heritage of
stronger few who use its meChaniSmS t" exploit the
weaker many, tFat it is altogether sinister and ma
licious.
But this is neither fair intelligent under
standing of the nature of industry
Quite TO the contrary it is in itself innocent and
unoffending the creation of all of us. the hene-
factor of all of
For industry. in its simplest analysis, is nothing
more or less than all of the people of this or any
other country honestly, legtjmately, prosperouSly
employed-constructivelya at work for one another.
Or yet even more understandable, industry is
mans civilization. 1t always has been.
Civilization came IN on the wings of industry of
the socially cooperative and proftahly conducted
activities of industry. And if industry perlshes,
civilization also. perishes.
II is = habit of ours TO refer historically to the
high intellectual and cultural values of ancient re
syimes before the shift from handlcraft to an
industrial order as having been created by hands
unsoiled by the touch of the market place and
selfish. huckstering trade"
But as 4 matter of fact. the glory that was
Greece" was the fruit of the industry of the Gre
clan artisans and craftsmen. And that glory OF
Greece waned when the commerce Of Greece went
to the rocks.
Similarly. the grandeur that was Rome was a
grandeur of civilization created out Of the III
dustry, of that era, and Rome lost its high stand
ards Of culture when Rome lost its high excellence
in trade and commerce. -,.
We make bold TO remark that the genius that Is
America it's social attainments its high intellectual
advancemeuts, and whatever. it's moral and spiritual
superiorities, derive from the development of ITS
industry.
The development of industry which. IN its broad
and fair sense, represents all human activity exer-
cised in the production of goods and materials and
in the manifold services required by civilized life
