Ascent of Mt. Everest
Begun by Is Britons
By the Associoted Press

KATMANDU, Nepal, April 20.
The 13-man British Mount
Everest expedition, led by "a
year-old Col. John Hunt, has
started its march into the
Khumbu glaciers on the first
state of the ascent, reports
reaching here said.
The party marched through
heavy rain for two days from
Thyangbuch before the weather
improved and gave them a clear
view of Everest, the reports said.
This is regarded as a sign of
good weather to come.
During a three-week stay at
Thyangbuch the climbers staged
experimental" aScents of the
20,000-foot peaks. Last year an
unsuccessful Swiss Mount Everest
expedition established it's first
advance camp 1925 feet up the
glaciers.

Dope Burglars Loot
Drugstore, Office

Narcotics hunting burglars
took an estimated 5000 worth
from a drugstore and an unde-
termined number of sleeping pills
from a doctors Office last night
and early today.
They also took $50 in cash
from the Town House Pharmacy
and $50 from the Office of DR..
Richard L. Spire, 46O1 Sixteenth

At the drugstore, Co-owner
Mayer G. Kushner said the loot
included about 1000 pills of CO.
caine, morphine, opium and a
small amount of heroin.
Capt. John Layton, head of
the narcotics squad, said the
5000 figure on the drugstore
haul was the retail market value
1t would be worth considerably
more channeled into the dope
trade.
He said, however, that the
narcotics squad knows of very
few cocaine users in Washing

are not generally morphine users
Entrance to the drugstore, at

gained by forcing a side window

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLY WOOD.
Frank Lloyd, one of the
screens great directors, is back
at work after a seven-year alb
sence. So I called on him to find
out why he had quit Hollywood
and why he returned.
Lloyd was long one of the great
names among movie makers,
ranking with Frank Capra, John
Ford and William Wyler. He
won academy awards in 1929 for
"The Divine Lady" and 1888 for
"Cavalcade." The latter and
"Mutiny on the Bounty" also won
best-picture Oscars.
But in 1916, the Glasgow-born
director left his successful career.
Without any fanfare, he went
into retirement at Carmel, Calf
I asked him why.

when I went into the Army
I was tired" he said. when I
got out I was even more tired.
I had travelled some 10000 miles
by air. That may be all right
for young privates, but it was a
drain on the old colonel.
my wife suggested that I quit
and enjoy life for while. I had
always liked the country around
Carmel, so I bought a place
there. I played golf and man
aged my farm and we Travelled a
bit. But I stayed away from
anything creative. People asked
me why I didn't write a book
about my life in the picture busi-
ness. I had no desire to-"
Lloyd's idyllic life continued
for five years. He kept up with
movies at the local theater, but
he had no desire to return to
Hollywood. Two years ago his
wife was stricken with cancer.
A year ago she died, and the di-
rector couldn't face a life amid
memories of their happy life to-
gether.
II came back to Hollywood
and lived here for a year." he
said. Then I decided it was silly
to stay idle; might as well go
back to work"
He landed at Republic, where
he will soon start producing and
directing a new film. He picked
an exciting time to return to the
movie scene, what with the STU
dios dashing off in all dimen-
sons.
"At least I'm not at a dis
advantage" he remarked, add

just as little or as much about
Sd as he does.
He said that today'S situation
is different from the advent of
sound. which he also went
through.
Some people, including my
self, didn't think that talkies
would take over" he said. THAT
was because the sound was so
bad at first. But when the quail
ity improved, I realized that si-
lents were finished. I remade a
third of a picture I had done
with Richard Barthelmess.
"All of the theaters had to
convert to sound in those days.
But I don't think today'S con-
version will be complete. There
will always be theaters that will
show only fiat films"

Lloyd's seven-year retirement
was we'll deserved. He had been
working steadily since he left
school at IA. He started as an
actor and errand boy in the
theater in Britain and came to
the United States and the pic
ture business in its infancy. He
started in 1910.
BY 1914, he was a full -fledged
director at the old Universal lot
in Hollywood. He made SO pic
lures that year, all one-reelers.
He matured with the industry
and directed such hits as "The
Sea Hawk" Under Two Flags" +"
Wells Fargo" and IF 1 Were
King"
His favorite picture was "Ber-
kelley Square," largely because of
the fine work of Leslie Howard
But his biggest hit was "Mutiny
on the Bounty" He bought the
film rights for $4,000 and sold
them to M-G-M at the same
price. He was 16 months on the
film, which cost SITS million
Lloyd estimated it would run
between four and five million at
today'S costs.
The director is renewing old
friendships now that he's back
IN the business. Recently he
dined with Frank Capra, who
recalled his most embarrassing
moment. 1t was at the Academy
Awards when Will Rogers was
handing out the direction Oscar
Come and get it, Frank u
Rogers grinned. Capra was half

arts. After years of taking the
North's costliest comics, singers
and dancers, it felt a compulsion
to give something in return.
It has come up, therefore,
with "Tumultime," a specimen of
the English -Yiddlsh revue which
opened last night at the Ma
tional. Whatever it may not be,
"Tumultime" is a we'll named
production, loud, lusty and un-
doubtedly a solid sample of one
way in which Miami visitors
spent their nights during the
winter which returned last night.
"Tumultime," a sunburned ver-
sion of "Borschtcapades" of a
couple of seasons ago, gave it's
performers weeks of lingering in
Fiorida's climate. It's briefer

Nom speaking review
ers are at somewhat Of a dis
advantage in reviewing produc-
tionS like "Tumultime."
About the only observation
they can make with confidence
is that jokes apparently are
funnier in Yiddish than in Eng
lish. Certainly the audience
laughs harder when the COM
pany abandons the language
of this reviewer and says things
that can't be equalled for merri-
ment in English.
Whether this means that the
new stuff in the comedy routines
of Marty Drake, Rickie Lane, the
Barton brothers and Lou Saxon
is exclusively in Yiddish, this
spectator is not prepared to say.
The old stuff, however, definitely
Is in English. And Is definitely
old.

The formal of "Tumultime" IS
identical with that of previous
English-Yiddish revues. It's ac-
cent is heavily on comedy, even
in the case of the top vocalist
of the production. Marty Drake.

Drake, possessor of an excellent
voice, has the cozy style of a
night club performer who has
found no reason to change
simply because the act has moved
into a theater. Whether he is
singing a ballad. janitorial
number, or a robustly comic
song, he insists upon sharing his
sense of well-being with the
customers.
The BartonS, a trio whose rec
ords have achieved astronomic
sales totals, are the big name act
in "Tumultime." They also are
the possessors Of a style, one that
is archly tailored to their self
composed material. They go
about their work in a relaxed,
professional way which they, too,
clearly have found no cause to
change through the years.
One of the chief differences
between English -YiddiSh revues
and more commonplace versions
of the same type is that while
the former do not actually sup
press the female sex, they do
give it something of brush-off.
"Tumultime" indulges none of
this nonsense about line of
chorus girls, or show girls. Its
cast has four women, one a |
Chinese vocalist, and they con-
stitute hardly more than props.
The big exception is a small
blond in the RivieraS' dance act.
She is quite a clown, this girl,
a mite with bulgy muscles who
makes quite a sight of tossing
around a partner two or three
times her size.
Altogether "Tumultime" prob
ably is a reasonable slice of
Miami life sent north to satisfy
the curiosity of those who

These homes are to be found

Big Factor in
Housing Market
Demand Affected
By Firings, but
Sales Continue
By Robert J. Lewis

A few opinions seem to
stand out when any group of
builders gets together to dis
cusS the housing market:
l. Demand is still there, and
lots OF people have the cash
in bank for a sizable down
payme ent on higher-price
homes.
2. Sales have slowed up
somewhat owing mainly to
uncertainties over the future
and tighter financing, princi-
pally for the low-to-medium-
priced houses.
3. The Eisenhower admin
1Stration could help greatly by
completing its reorganization
and dismissal program here as
quickly as possible, and then
giving unmiStakable job reas-
SuranceS to employees that are
left.
Let's get this thing over
with" one builders Spokes-
man said today. THE longer
the uncertainty drags out, the
worse the effect is going to be
- on Washington"
Discussing the change in
administrations, one builder
who has been in business in
the District area for 10 years
said:
We realized there would be
a period of change-over and
we anticipated the market
would oe quieter. But we did
not anticipate reorganization
would last as long as this. and
that no end would appear in
sight.
I'VE know many people who
are interested in buying homes,
and they have the money in
the bank for the down pay
ment. But nobody could eX-
pect them to buy if they have
no assurance they'll have a
job six months from now"
This week builders expect
many thousands of families
who need homes will tour the
District area to look over
houses being formally exhib-
tied during National Home
Week, and to see other houses
and developments under way
here or recently completed.
More than so builders have
Joined in the observance of
National Home Week, spon-
sored in the Washington area
by the Home Builders Associ-
alton of Metropolitan Wash
ington. In each case, the
builder has agreed to keep one
or more houses open during
the week so that visitors may
go inside and examine exam
pies of current construction.
Direction signs have been
placed in different parts of
the District to guide visitors
to the houses.
One of the objectives of the
week is to sell houses. Other
objectiveS are to show the cur
rent work builders are doing,
that the industry is prepared
to keep on producing houses,
that it is utilizing new methods
and new materials, and that
its work is of economic i'm
portance to the Nation.
In contrast to the earlier
postwar period, many builders
today are engaged in relatively
smaller-scale operations. They
are building fewer houses at
a time than during the period
when demand was so explosive
that as many as 500 or 1000
houses were put under way at
O time in a single project.

tential market is good because
of the interest families show in
offerings of new houses, and in
response to advertisements.
There are a certain number
of sightseers, naturally" one
builder said. But when peo-
pie take the trouble to answer
an advertisement they usually
have a new house on their
mind, and generally are on the

Most builders, too, are re-
sentful of the price they have
to pay for mortgage money. as
represented by the discounts
at which they have to sell
mortgages.
Rejecting this attitude. the

Builders is refusing to go along
