Opposed by Citizens
50 Church and Civic
Representatives Fight
Montgomery Application

The Montgomery County Liquor
Control Board had under advise
Went today the application for an
on-sale beer license by Clarence L.
Gilbert at 1900 Wisconsin avenue,
which was opposed by more than
so church and civic representatives

Mrs. John H. Werner, 6807 Forty
fifth street, Chevy Chase, Md, was
spokesman for the group, which
filled the liquor boards hearing
room in the Silver Spring dis
pensary. She urged that the en-
trance to the Capital be made
broad and beautiful highway and
not be marred by any more beer
establishments.
Robert G. Madert, 7107 Arlington
avenue, a member of the District
Fire Department, told the board two
beer establishments already in that
vicinity were sufficient and urged
the board not to grant Mr.. Gilbert's
application. He said streets in that
vicinity have been converted into
lovers lanes" by patrons of the
already established beer places and
that, when the Naval Hospital is
completed, several hundred sailors
will make the situation more diff
flcult.
The traffic hazard was stressed
by Wady w. Imirie, Bethesda bust
neSsman and representative of the
Bethesda Presbyterian Church. He
pointed out that Wisconsin avenue
is narrow and bears a heavy traffic
at the point in question and that
additional business places in the
area would make matters worse.
Others appearing to oppose the
application were Mrs. Ruby B. Mil
Ter, Samuel T. Robertson, president
of the Bethesda Volunteer Fire De-
partment, Inc, and A. j. Nader.
Attorneys for Mr.. Gilbert brought
out that those opposing the apph-
cation also opposed the granting Of
any beer licenses in the county. Mr..
Gilbert, testifying in his own behalf,
said that he had been in the paint
business and would conduct the
establishment in accordance with
the rules of the Liquor Control
Board If the application was granted

suit of the fair by the foul-Lizzie
May was not able to keep its pace
constantly dizzy. But she was al
ways in there fighting bravely and
breathlessly and the compensation
for the occasional dull moment
never was long in coming. Nor was
it ever inadequate.
"Sweetbrier's" chief virtue as
melodrama is that it is play about
everything. Before it became play
about everything, however, it starts
as a play about an innocent flower
girl, really a rich waif, who is pur-
sued by villain who wants both
herself and her fortune. The limits
to which the cad will go are infinite,
at least too close to it for any more
OF detailed description here.
The acts and 10 scenes through
which the villain pursues Sweet
brier" were not too much, however,
for the production staff of the Road
side. With an abandonment equiv
alent to that of Lizzie May, it tossed
off such items as slum hideout of
the cruel Hendricks gang, Gotham
streets, a village deacons parlor, a
primeval forest, and as its master
piece an old mill complete with
wheel and mill stream. Each in
its way is a perfect sounding board
for the highly colored dialogue
which the forces of good and evil
utter in their moments of triumph
or anguish. They are KALEIDOSCOPE
cally changing moments, you can
rest assured.
Director Ralph Fowler has peopled
"Sweetbrier's" large gallery of
demons and decent citizens with
some of Roadsides craftiest per-
formers. Norman Rose, first string
villain this season, is up to not only
his old, but several new, tricks in
making Victor Hendricks one of the
most despicable characters of the
summer. Betty Brunstetter is a
properly fiery flower girl who sets
price on virtue that would stun
Croesus, Theodore Tiller, I'd, handles
the comedy role of Deacon Hunter
with his usual skill, Ann Ives is an
archly good wife to the deacon, and
Natalie Core is an altogether salts
factory villaineSs. Perhaps the most
difficult job of the evening is that
assigned to Kenneth Banghart, who
plays twin brothers, one "a mall
treated gentleman" the other Ibis
INSCRIPTIONS brother" A man of
lesser stature, and we mean stature,
would actually have to be twins to
withstand the beatings Mr.. Bang
hart takes-and we'll.
The entr'acte which rounds out
this fortnight's Roadside bill, Don't
Go in the Lions Cage Tonight" is

the baby rumors. Her chief interest
these days is her film career-and
Husband william. Which is all right
with the said William because his
only interest these days is his wife
and her career. He wants to put
her over as an actress in the same
way he helped put over Carole Lom-
bard in the early days of his mar
riage to her. Carole, incidentally,
is the first to admit her large film
debt to Bill. The new Mrs. Powell's
