Plans are also underway to increase the present force of 79,500 naval enlisted men to 100,000 and the marine corps from 15,200 to 20,000 during the five-year period, it.was learned.

'Dinner at Eight’ Hailed as 'Grand’ Film Production by Times’ Critic

IT’S grand. That’s the movie version of “Dinner at Eight.” Just grand. The acting honors go to John Barrymore as Larry Renault, the broken down, has-been movie star, and to Billie Burke as Mrs. Oliver Jordan, who invited a number of guests to a dinner party at 6 on a Friday night to meet Lord and Lady Ferncliffe, who never show up but go a touring to Florida. There is not a weak member In a cast of twenty-five principal speaking parts. Names in the cast

ard returning the fortune which he stole from Oliver Jordan. The screen authors were wise in allowing Carlotta Vance, a has-been stage star, to break the news to Paula Jordan that Renault had killed himself by turning on the gas in his hotel room. This brings on a splendid emotional scene between Marie Dressier as Carlotta and Madge Evans as Paula. Marie Is a Wow It goes to splendid Marie Dressier to have the last wow line of the play. As she and Jean Harlow as Kitty Packard, the other half of the fighting Packards, go into the dining room in the great mansion of the Jordans, Kitty remarks that the depression or something was

wrecking all business. Marie takes one look at the vampire exhibited form of Miss Harlow as Kitty and remarks, “You needn’t worry about your business.” John Barrymore never has been as finely dramatic as he is in the role of the egotisti cal drink-soaked movie left-over actor Renault. The second he starts

drinking in his hotel apartment, he allows every drink to register upon his emotions, his talk, his face and his walk. The most effective suicide scene that the screen ever has revealed is when Barrymore takes off his dress coat to seal the door, goes with a semi-determined drunken step to the mirror, arranges carefully his tie and hair. He places a chair near the gas fireplace and arranges a light so it would sliine on him like a spotlight on the stage. He then turns on the gas, poses himself nicely in the chair and inhales the gas. It’s Really Acting While the gas was sputtering and ringing down the last curtain on Renault, the movie actor with the “it” profile, I was so affected that I felt I was breathing gas. That’s acting. Watch the careful and effective use that Miss Burke makes of her hands, voice and eyes. This gracious lady of the stage is set for a glorious movie future. Lionel Barrymore ages and “sickens” right before your eyes as the troubled millionaire ship owner, Oliver Jordan. He uses fine, broad strokes of sympathetic realism and gives a stirring performance. The late Louise Closser Hale is a comedy highlight in the few scenes she has. Edmund Lowe is just the right man as Dr. Wayne Talbot, who becomes a Romeo instead of a doctor in the bedrooms of rich, but careless, women. He has a splendid scene with his wife, played by Karen Morley. May Robson has just a bit, but

By United Press T ACEYVILLE, 0., Dec. 28. With the bases loaded and the stands yelling for a home run, Laceyville yesterday “struck out.” For thirty years this village has been known far and wide as the “coldest spot in Ohio.” Laceyville residents waited for a cold snap. They got it yesterday. Here was the big test! And Laceyville failed. It was only five below here, and other Ohio towns registered lower than that. “By golly, we’ll move the thermometer,” declared Homer Moyer, official custodian of the instrument. “You can’t fool us by any new fangled contraption from Columbus.”

These two give the story not only a big comedy lift but also some suggested tragedy of two starved lives in ala n and of abundance.
