wildered travellers come to a
realization they are all dead,
and that they are headed to
Judgment Day. The Examiner
is coming on board to take up
their individual cases Their re-
action to grim situation pro-
videS interesting contrast.
Playwright Vane treats this
crisis with a whimsical percep-
ton, as his Examiner rewards
virtue, Furnishes vice, relieves
the confusions and fears of the
travellers.
Acted with extraordinary
skill by an able company. the
character of Mrs. Midgit, as
proje ted by Laurette Taylor, is
outstanding. She endowS the
little charwoman with tender
ness, nobility and a fine under
standing, so that it is easy to ap-
preciate why it was decorated
by a majority of critics as one
of the towering performances OF
the current Broadway season.
SMOOTH DIRECTION
Florence Reed blesses the
character of the snob with a
wry wit and persuasive touches,
and BramWell Fletcher'S dipso-
maniac is a vivid and colorful
personality. The pathetic and
tragic young lovers whose sui
eide pact failed, are impress
sively played by Helen Chand-
ler and Alexander Kirkland.
I thought Alexander Price,
last seen here as the Helen
Hayes Prince Albert, succeeded
admirably in catching the elu-
sive moods of the young clergy

The single setting for Out

tion enables the film to avoid
the pitfalls of topheavy melo-
drama. An effect is achieved
similar to his THE 80 Steps,"
fun and adventure being skill
fully blended into an intriguing
whole.
Two male passengers, ardent
believers in the Sanctity of Ok
ford and cricket, serve as sound
ing boards whereby Hitchcock
ribs British jingoism and their
famous "muddle through" state
of mind. The pair refuse to be
taken away from their cricket
and-Fugby discussions by any
such nonsense as murder. Some
of their blithe comments on the
proceedings are priceless.
AN ENGLISH CAST
Margaret Lockwood makes a
beautiful heroine and brings
both intelligence and ability to
the part. The gal has manner.
Michael Redgrave will remind
you Of Robert Donat, and Dame
May Witty is well cast as the
lady with the disappearing pro
clivities. Paul LukaS, as the
heavy, remains unchanged from
his Hollywood days.
It's a splendid picture and
one that holds interest right
down to the finale, but we can
help wondering what became of
the enemy soldier last seen
threatening Miss Lockwood with
pistol. Not that it detracts
from the films excellence, but
we wish Mr.. Hitchcock, or
Hardie Meakin, or somebody
would clear up that little point
for us. We worried about it over
the week end.

0verton' S Daughter
Explains Fiscal Plan
To Burroughs Citizens
Association Told
Acreage Bosis Is
Simple and Just

The Overton plan to fix the Fed
eral payment to the District rec
ommends itself by its lack of COM
plication, Miss Kay Overton, daugh-
ter of Senator Overton. told the
members of the Burroughs Citizens
Association at their meeting in the
! Burroughs School last night. 1t is
the most equitable method of ad-
Justing fiscal relations between the
District and the Federal Govern
ment, she declared.
Miss Overton stated that it is
practically impossible to determine
the value OF Government property
as basis for payment. Explaining
the plan in Jetail, she said the
plan would effect a Federal pay
ment of approximately 20 per cent
of the Districts expenses. The plan
@determines this sum by requiring
q payment on all land used by the
Federal Government, plus half the
park areas.
Causes No Overhead.
Miss Overton said that the ap-
plication of the plan will entail no
overhead and result in letting the
District know in advance how its
fiscal relations stand, The lump
sum system has no basis, Miss Over
ton declared It is just a sum Con-
gress says the District should have.
The members of the special Sem
ate subcommittee appointed We'd
nesday to study the Overton plan
can be trusted to consider the plan
carefully, Miss Overton assured the
citizens. Miss Overton urged civic
organizations to make known their
views on the plan to the committee.
A representative of the Citizens
Committee for Fair Taxation ad-
dressed the group, condemning the
adoption of sales tax in the Dis
trlct and advocating graduated
personal income tax.
Oppose Patman Tax Bill.
The association went on record
opposing the Patman chain-store
tax bill as being a punitive tax.
The group adopted the report
previously approved by the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations favor
ing the city manager form of gov
ernment as proposed by the Gritfen-
hagen report. Wilbur Finch, re-
. porting on the plan. declared that
every one appraising the District
government had found inefhciency
and lack of economy. Mr.. Finch op-
posed the adoption of the city man

maintained that any other course
would give an opening to Commu-

A resolution was adopted opposing
any interference with the liquor in

The history of Americas three
great service songs bear him out.
Col. Gruber was a young lieu-
tenant of the Fifth Field Artillery
when he wrote the famous Gals
sons song. They'd just come back
to Philippine headquarters from a
difficult march into the Zambales
Mountains. He had caught the
spirit of Keep En- Rolling" on the
long trek over the hills. When the
managers Of a regimental "Des-
pedida" celebration, remembering
his success as cadet writing songs
for West Points Hundredth Night
shows, asked him for a ditty, he
shut himself up with a pencil and
paper-and perhaps small brown
jug-and set to music the feeling
of a gun-troop rolling along the
trail. The words went:
Over hill. over dale, we have hit
the dusty trail,
And those caissons go rolling
along.
In and out. hear them shout,
Counter march and right
about"
And those caissons go rolling
along.
Then its hi hi hee in the Field
Artillery
Sound off your numbers loud
and strong.
Where e'er you go you will al
ways know
That those caissons go rolling
along.
Navy Adopts Football Song.

Zimmerman set about his annual
task of writing a song for the
graduating class of the Naval

But the flyers have not turned out

Ger explained it thus:
Songs stem from men with time
on their hands. After a dangerous
flight in the war man went back to
barracks with nothing to do till he
flew again. Since the war nobody in
the Air Corps has had to hunt for
mental exercise. We've been too
busy every minute"
That's why the Air Corps called
in the general public to write song
for them.
'CaissOns' From Philippines.
But COL Gruber is doubtful, be-
cause "in the blood of particular

feeling. and when some young fellow

$1,000 Prize Awaiting.
But there's $1,000 waiting for the
man-soldier or civilian-who writes
an Air Corps song, and Tin-Pan
Alley has been busy.
When Bernarr McFadden offered
the prize for good marching song
unframed voices could sing, 500
samples of words-and-music came
in. Most of them aped old tunes;
none of them caught the spirit of
the Air Corps; and a committee
headed by the wife of Gen. Barton
Yount rejected them all. The Air
Corps is still looking.
Apparently songs just can't be
forced out-they grow like Topsy.
One high Army officer recalled that
the infantry tried to urge a fighting
song from American hearts by Of
fering prize money years ago-and
failed.
When the World War came along
the Army sought in vain for a
heart-lifting march - and the
doughboys themselves dug up
"Hinky -Dinky Parlee- -Vous?" and
made up thousand verses for all
occasions.
The Air Corps roster of songs
came out of the same affray. But
flying was a new hazard then, and
the common exchange between pilot
and mechanic when man climbed
into his crate" ran:
well, Jack, think she'll hold to-
gether?"
"She held together yesterday"
The songs, said an Air Corps vet
eran, were a kind of "Whistling in
the Dark" and pretty dismal at
heart.
Luck and Linament Game.
"The Song of Issoudun," sung
when funeral professions passed the
mess hall of the American Flying
School in France, was based on the
dead march from Saul" One verse
explained that "He spun old Jenny
one turn too many" and the chorus
went:
Ten thousand dollars going to
the folks.
Won't they be delighted, won't
they be excited.
y Ten thousand dollars going to

Another Air Corps Song of those
days went:
Oh, mother, hang out your
