"MIDSHIPMAN JACK”—-

ORIENTAL THEATRE.

A charming love story inter- weaves the adventurous action of the film "Midshipman Jack" R.KO. Radio Pleture, featuring Bruce Cabot and Betty Furness at the Oriental Theatre.

Cabot in the title role of "Mid- shipman Jack" is a young cadet who shuns rules and regulations to court his Commandant's daughter.

The climax of the production is an elaborate and thrilling specta- cle, presenting war manoeuvros with seaplanes and speedy sub- marine-chasers making an attack upon enemy submersibles. The spectacle ta topped with a daring stunt, a head-on crash between an aeroplane in full flight and an on- coming subchaser commanded by the film's hero.

"SPITFIRE"-MAJESTIC THEATRE

It was merely a coincidence that as the Washington, D.C.; court WRs restaring citizenship to Princess Julia Cantacutine, alege of President Grant; Princess Xenia of Russia, the former Mrs. Wil- liam B. Leeds, was asking Mineola, L. I, court's permission to be hereafter known as Miss Xenia Romanoff, of Byosett, LL the daughter of the Tate Grand Duke George of Russia. Princess Cantacuzine will be hereafter known as Mrs. Julia Cantacuzin Grant.

Mr. Alfred Sheinwold, one of the better known of the younger com-1 posers of difficult Bridge problems.

In the play, of course West made seven spades. The spade finesse was successful, and West discarded all his losers on the club ault in Dummy.

The band illustrates two prin- ciples of excellent strategy: South's Double with a long suit, although! weak

hoping In honour-tricks, thereby to conceal his lack of de- fence from his non-vulnerable op- ponents, and East's trap pass of his partner's Overcall after. South's Double, hoping thereby to create in
