MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS


One of the most amusing sights
1--WE have seen lately-in Rockville
was two horses, attached to a
farm wagon, tied to a mo PARK
ING" sign on Montgomery Avenue,
just above the postofIice where the
street narrows and there is barely
room for two cars to pass, when
cars are parked on the other side.
The squealing of brakes and loud
talk attracted our attention and
we looked from a window in Vi
tales Beauty Salon just in time
to hear the "cullud" driver say,
"But lady, | won't be but min
ute-I jus got to have some ta-
baccer", as he went into the small
store across the street.
-
Hundreds Of persons have peer
ed through the windows Of the
glass door of "Tho Hub" next TO
the Milo Theater and wondered
just what was going ON. The
dozens Of huge crooks with heavy
lids, have especially aroused inter
est and many a man has said to
himself, "Now if ! only had one
of those jars"
We, too, peered in and being Of
an inquiring mind, both naturally
and professionally, we opened the
door. and NOT at all discouraged
/ by the fact that the two men work
ing busily there never even looked
up, we asked rather .ungrammati-
cally, "What are those BIG jars
for "Well", replied one Of the
men, "thcy are not for sale and
they are not for what you think
they are for. Which left US eT-
actly nowhere but we like an api
retort, 50 we just laughed and ono
Of the men laughed, too, we laugh

the way she has always been pho
tographed.
BACKSTAGE BEAUTY
Off screen, Joan is a darn pretty
person. Not a glamor girl, but at
tractive and sincere. On screen,
because of the roles she plays, ca
mera men Insist on making her look
like something that just galloped
in on a broomstick.
The clothes Hollywood makes
her wear don't help, either. They
never design anything for Joan.
They just pick something off the
rack and If it doesn't fit her, the
producer says, Gee, amt that
funny. You'll kill EN- when you
fall down in that dress" And even
little babies know it's funnier to
see a woman in an evening dress
fall into a mud puddle than a gal
in overallS.
Joan said her next picture. ''Show
Business" with Eddie Cantor, was
a lot better than many Of the films
in which she's appeared. TITS on
the borderline of what I'd really
like to do on the screen" she said,
"but it's still not quite right.
"I'm still a caricature-not q
character" she said.

unusual acting; it's the usual Tracy

touch Of whimsy and delicate
dantasy, and skilled Tracy takes it
for all it's worth. The characterize

memorable work in his award-win-

Boys Town" portrayals.
For her M-G-M debut Miss Dunno

edy CO-Feature

Today brings another great dou-
BILE feature program to the Loew-
Poll theater, in the seeming I'M
ending parade of truly great screen
offerings that have been presented
there.
Today's program has as the first
feature, "A Song Of Russia" with
Robert Taylor, who by the way is
appearing in his last role, until
Victory, as he is now a member of
the Armed Forces, the U. S. Navy
and this film, will leave pleasant
memories in the minds of his fol-
lowers, as it is without any ques-
ton, his supreme effort, inspired,
as it were, and adds to his laurels.
Taylor is cast as a young Amer
lean conductor of symphony Or
chestra, on a tour that takes them
to Russia, where he NETS up with
Susan Peters, and there also is
young lady that has come to the
top by leaps and bounds since her
sensational work in Random Harv-
est" now she is starred for the first
time, but there is assurance that she
will be seen in many more films,
after the public have seen the
work, she performs, in this film as
the Russian girl torn between the
conflict of her love for her country
and he rlover.
Song of Russia" is primarily a
war story, when the story Of Rus
STA is really told 1t viii bear
striking resemblance to this film
with the trials, tribu1a lions and
emotional surge, plus the attacks
and spirit that our brave Russian
allies have shown in their fight to
the death against the supposedly
unbeatable war-machine, something
that they were never figured
chance to be able to stand up
against, but what they have done
is the glorious story Of heroism.
The romantic story is one of the
most heart-warming you have seen
depicted in some time and is pre-
sented in a lSanner that brings out
all its tenderness. Also there are
many moments of great comedy,
interludes that break up the heavy
part Of the entertainment and they
are in the very capable hands of
Robert Benchley, a funster par-ex-
cellence.
On the same program there is as
the companion feature, the lovable
