BuSineSSWOnen's
Week to Emphasize
Feminine Proaress

Plans to observe National Business
Women's Week, set by the National
Federation of Business and Profess
sional Women's Clubs for October
8-l4, are being made by the Bus:-
ness and Professional Women's Club
of the District.
Mrs. Stella LIE RouX and Miss Vera
Lundquist have been appointed CO.
chairmen of the local celebration and
will direct the publicity.
"One Hundred Years of Women's
Progress in the United States" has
been selected as the theme of the
observance this year.
Celebrated for the first time in
1928. National Businesswomen's
Week has been indorsed by Presi-
dents Coolidge, Hoover and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. When the feder-
alton inaugurated the week, it had
a membership of 874 clubs with So
900 active members. Today there
are $4,000 clubs and 71,000 members
in the federation.
Though the first week was cele-
brated without a slogan, themes
were summarized in succeeding OBJ
servances and indicate how the fed
Grafton has worked with economic
and social conditions in mind.
In 1929, the emphasis was on
thrift, and the slogan was: BE a
Saver" Emphasis was placed on
the achievements of women in busi-
ness In 1890. In 1882 the slogan
was, Better Businesswomen for
Better Business World" theme
which was repeated in 1898.
Cognizance of the depression was
taken in 1888, when the federation
placed the emphasis on assistance to
the unemployed with the slogan,
I'VE Give" A unemployment pro-
gram followed in 1884 and the feder-
alton came very near achievement
of its goal to secure 5000 jobs for
unemployed women.
In 1885, the federation preached
the doctrine that the United States
was still the land of hope and
promise, using as it's slogan, "Op-
portunity." Troubled foreign condi-
tions prompted the selection of the
slogan, For Effective Democracy
in 1886, and the next year the en-
phasis was placed on the employ
ability OF women over 40.

POlI'S

One Of the seasons most delight
full pictures is Fifth Avenue Girl",
Ginger Rogers new starring vericle
which opens a four day engagement
at Loew's Poll Theatre tomorrow.
Very different from Miss Rogers
recent Bachelor Mother" but even
funnies at times, the new picture
revolves around the hetic experiences
Of o working girl guest in stately
Fifth Avenue home. She Is hired for
the job by the discouraged head of
the family, who despairs of ever
peyBuading his wife and children to
regard him as other than a walk
ms bank-account.
The girls advent, as expected,
alters, the situation considerably
TIE wife, thinking her husband in
terads to marry the girl as soon as
she goes to Reno, changes her plans
ans decides to stick around. The
son, who has been neglecting the
family pump business for polo,
starts to work again, and the
daughter gives up her dizzy gold
fish-gulping friends for a serious
romance with the chauffeur.
How the various tangled threads
of the principal characters careers
are finally Strengthened out forms
the hilarious climax to the offering,
while the heroine adjusts her own
problem as well. The part might
have been made to order for Miss
Rogers talents, and she gives a re-
markable portrayal of the difficult
role.
Walter Connolly heads the fea-
tured cast as the harrassed husband,
and James Ellison plays the part of
the chauffeur, with Veree Teasdale
az the mother and Tim Holt and
Kathryn Adams as the two children,
and such well-known players as
and Louis Calhern in important
roles. Be sure to put Fifth Avenue
Girl" on your must-see list.
On the same program will be
another smash hit, "The Escape"
with Kane Richmond, Amanda Duff,
Edward Norris and June Gale.
Henry Armetta heads the support
inN cast.
An added treat at Loew's Poll to-
morrow night will be Amateur Fol-
lies.
Attractions ending their engage
ment at Loew's Poll this evening
include Irene Dare, the Six-year- old
skating marvel in "Everything's On
Ice" and THE Girl From Rio with
Movita and Warren Hull.

Its four day engagement 1T Warner
Bros. state theater yesterday with
capacity attendance at al; perform
aEces.
Fred MacMurray and Madeleine
Carroll, teamed for the second time,
and with Allan Jones sharing star
ring honors, head the splendid cast.
incidentally MacMurray Ind Miss
Carroll prove that they are among
the screens peers when it comes to
romantic teams. Thea;ergoers will
remember them for their smash per-
formances in "Cafe Society" a short
time ago, however, as a gay ro-
mantle comedy team they're tops.
MacMurray is at his best as a
carefree young adventurer just re.
turned from Bali fellow who be-
Meves that a wofnan's place is in a
mans arms. Madeleine, who has
been called the screens most beau
tiful woman, is ideally cast as a
smart, SNUG, department store ex-
ecutjve, a girl who won't sacrifice
her independence for love. Allan
Jones Is co-starred, cast appropri-
ately enough, as an opera singer.
The featured supporting roles are
superbly played by Helen Brod-
erick, Osa Massen and Carolyn Lee,

Also In an important role is the
