Combination Of Denton
And Firth Sets Mark
As Tourney Closes

Evelyn Ellis Naylor, captain of
Rosslyn's Ladies' District League
champions, rejoiced today over a
Glass A winning score of 1874, but no
less happy were Ruby Denton and
Agatha Firth, newcomers to the
Lucky Strike Ladies' League, whose
comparatively modest count of 608
set an all-time Glass doubles mark
and capped the final night of the
Washington Womens Duckpin Asso-
ciation tournament.
AS capacity gallery watched Mrs.
Naylor warm up last night at the
Lucky Strike for her singles splurge
with 354 set, the telling wallop that
gave her and Margaret Lynn second
place in Glass A doubles with 687,
practically unnoticed Miss Denton
came through with 316, the first 300
set OF her career, to shine in the
making of an all-time Glass F
doubles record.
Cut Loose in Singles.
Failing in the doubles, a bevy of
leading woman bowlers exploded in
the singles with Mrs MAYORS 81,
154 and l43 pacing the field. Louise
Roberts of Silver Spring shot into
third place with 374, Beth Minson
Of Arcadia landed fourth with 1863
and Blanche Wootton of Rosslyn
fifth with 365 Only Florence
Sabean's 378 survived the final
nights rolling in Glass A.
The Glass B singles title went to
Helen Funkhouser of the Washing
ton Ladies League as she turned in
1874 and Catherine Lewis of Silver
Spring climaxed her Glass B all
events championship with a 322
singles set.
Rolling into a money place also
were Marguerite McDermott and
Louise Battaglia of the Ladies' In
dependent League with a fourth
place Glass B doubles score of 654.
A 1929 count landed the G.. P. o.
team of the Ladies' Federal League
among the Glass c team winners and
the Colonials of the Lucky Strike
loop with 1.485 will share in the
Glass D prize money.
GiffordS Crack Record.
Chalking up an all-time record of
LIT on the first night, the Colum-
bia team, winners of the Glass A
title, watched the Clifford Ice
Cream rollers of Silver Spring beat
1t with 1.738. Caroline Hiser and
Mabelle Herring posted an all-time
Glass A doubles mark of 73l.
Two lusty all-time achievements
OF 1863 and 1,031 gave Ruth Waple
the Glass c singles and all-events
titles. Galliher & Huguely sent the
Glass c team mark to 1885, while
General Office of the c. & P. Tele-
phone League hiked the Glass D
mark to 1,571. The Glass E team
record was boosted to 1,414 by the
Estimators. Mary Magnetic of Sill

banging out the only triple-header

'Rebecca' Remains
At the Palace

So much praise has already been
showered on 'Rebecca" that it is
hardly necessary to add more. And
1t should not be necessary to urge
you to see this film version of
Daphne du Maurier's novel, now In
us second week at Loew's Palace,
but II 1t Is urging you need, you
are hereby urged. For this Is one
OF the major achievements Of this
cinema season, a film drama that Is
throbbing with life.
1t Is. in fact, a picture you will
live. Director Alfred Hitchcock has
seen to that, bringing the story of
the second Mrs. Max de Winter
and her battle with the ghost of
Rebecca to the screen in that
same first-personal viewpoint from
which the novel was told. It is one
OF those tricks which would be a
good trick even If he couldn't do
1t, but Mr.. Hitchcock has done it,
and It makes for some highly ef-
fective drama.
The II" of "Rebecca" and her
Maxim have been made intensely
alive on the screen, too, by Joan
Fontaine and Laurence Olivier. So

feels like an eavesdropper when they

Young Tom Edison" an inspired
biography If ever there was one,
has moved now to the Columbia to
continue disproving those lines
about "all sad words Of tongue or
pen" For this is something that
might have been, all right, but it
Is not sad at all. As a matter of
fact, 1t Is a thoroughly enjoyable
yarn the boys have spun to give us
a picture of the early character of
our greatest inventor, even If its
hero might just as well have been
named Horatio Alger as Tom Edi-
son. 1t is a thoroughly enjoyable
Mickey Rooney who turns up here,
too. He has forsaken his old
bounce for dignity, and his por-
trait Of the young Edison is one
which increases his stature as an
actor. It should winshim plenty of
new friends to make up for the
loss Of any Of those old friends who
are confused when he does not act
like Andy Hardy. The various peo-
pie who share the youthful trials
Of young Tom with varying emo
tions are Fay Banter, Virginia

Deanna Durbin's seventh spool of
cinema entertainment. Its a
Date" In this issue the pictorial
analysts of the American scene
present view of youths problems,
their character and extent in the
United States today.
The lives of the young person
whose circumstances make for a
secure future without work, the
boy or girl from a family of mod
crate means who goes to college,
the non-college white-collar work.
er who Is seeking to better his posi-
ton, the farm youth and the dis
couraged unemployed youngsters
are examined briefly. The American
Youth Congress, the Civilian Con-
servation Corps, the National Youth
Administration and the American
Youth Commission also get share
OF the editors attention.
ITS Date" is a film of superb
balance as to pleasurable elements.
There are songs by Deanna. of
course. including Love Is ALL" Ave
Maria" and "Loch Lomond." There
is also excellent acting by Miss
Durbin as the aspiring and in
genious daughter of a stage star.
Briskly paced and often clever
ve-biage enhances the enjoyment.
The performances prove the ju-
diciousness of the casting, for Kay
Francis as the mother who points
toward the dramatic stage role,
which unknown to her already has
been assigned to her daughter, is
effective; Walter Pidgon, playing q
fellow who wants to do a good
