ISLE ROYALE,. Aug. s.
THIS remote, wilderness island
in Lake Superior is one place
where people do not worry about
tires, gasoline or the diminishing
supply of sheer silk hose.
An automobile here is as rare
as a dinosaur and no one wears
stockings anyhow. In fact, so
uncivilized is this rocky island
that even hotdog stands and
roadside billboards are lacking
for there are no roads.
Boat services have been eX-
banded hugely so that Detroit
ers can sail north almost from
their own front doors.

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. S.
VISITORS 10 Fredericksburg,
Va, frequently called
Americas Most Historic City"
viii find the city primarily an
old residential community that
cherishes a notable past closely
associated with the revolutionary
and war between the states eras.
Prcscu1iuent among the cele-
hrated names is that of the
Washington family. George
Washington attended school
there for four months and in
later years frequently visited his
mother who lived in a delightful
frame house, now the mecca for
many visitors to the city.

Every Woman Over 10

So speaks one OF Detroit'S
best-known American women
who lived many years abroad
and has come home again TO
her own country with a great.
pride in her race and heritage.
She feels that every woman over
Is years of age should find or
MAKE time for war work and
the sooner they do. the sooner
we will win this war. There is a
niche for every one and work 10
do for every volunteer.
Aside from the ever-growinE
war work there is little TO talk
about this week. One of the
prettiest sights we have seen at
all was tho Mother and Daugh-
ter IN uniform. Lining at the
Little Club the other night we
noted a number Of women and
among them was Mrs. Sidney
Small and her daughter, both
looking trig and buSineSSlikc.
1t IS an inspiration to see how
the spirit is growing that 10

AS a vehicle for the film debut of
a BARRYMORE, Eagle Squadron" was
appallingly less than satisfactory.
no doubt, to Miss Diana BARRYMORE
Too many planes and not enough
Diana. Between Us Girls" now
showing at RKO-Keith's, apparently
has set out to right that wrong.
1t has done so with per-
fectly blaring display of the young
actress versatility, at least five
facets of which are directed into the
short space of this one innocent lit
tie film.
Miss Barrymore has been cast as
an actress in Between Us Girls"
She has the marvellous opportunity,
in that role, to play five roles sep
arately: An actress, a small girl,
Queen Victoria, Joan of Arc,
floozy. That three of them fit into
the story as incidentals, lessons Miss
Barrymore's ardor not whit, al
though it certainly reflects on the
actress or somebody's sense for
form. The whole attitude seems to
be: Here is new versat tility; throw
1t at the public in one bunch.
The youngest torchbearer of the
Barrymore clan does have some
thing on the thespic ball. Her pose
as an impish adolescent is quite
clever, and for more reasons than
her adornment in pigtails and
MILDLY blouses. She assumes this
pose, incidentally, in order to con-
vince her mothers suitor that her
mother is really not so old as to
have a 21-year-old daughter-the
genesis of the entire story, which
is comedy, you see. 1t is in the
midst OF this delusion theme that
Miss Barrymore assumes the role
OF Sadie Thompson in the family,
while the Victoria (heavily made
up) and St. Joan (armor- -clad are
tackled on in theater sequences.
AS may be gathered by this time,
the pace of Between Us Girls" is
an interrupted, or, at least. self
conscious one. And there is lot of
forced effervescence thickening the
air in sometimes vain effort to
stimulate the drawn-out portions of
high and low humor.
Robert Cummings as an amiable
dope is pretty convincing as such,
and new and effective Hollywood
housemaid, Ethel Critics, makes her
appearance. Otherwise, Kay Francis
still wears her gowns well, Andy
Devine seems uncomfortable in the
mantle of press agent and John
Boles does not sing.

Bad-Mannered Patrons.

Whether it's the war or a general
breaking down of morale, the fact
is that before moon audiences which
gather in the movie theaters show
ing vaudeville, are getting beyond
control. They are ruthless in re-
vealing bad manners, often inter-
rupting entertainers.
This is not purely local irritant
In Chicago some acts last week re-
fused to work before such bolster
ous Interruptions. These early show
pests are moved to their heckling
whenever something is offered that
does not conform to their jitterbig
and jive taste. The remedy for
such annoyances is election of the
offenders, but managers hesitate to
adopt this drastic policy. Ushers
are unable to maintain normal
discipline, and in the Midwest
some theaters have resorted to spe-
cial policemen to spot the ill-bred
and escort them to the exits. Such
a policy is contemplated here, un-
less the unruly restrain themselves.
Hayden Joins Marines.

handsome actor really cares nothing

at the Birthday Ball. "I enjoy this"
he said at the White House lunch
con, "but when it's all over I'm
happier on'rmy boat" And he really
meant it.
Recently he has been master of
a merchant vessel, but he wanted
to get closer to combat duty. Ma

doned her career in Hollywood. to
