HANS ROBERT GETS OVATION
AS STAR OF CHECKERS

Il was Hans Robert night at the Co
lumbia Theater last night. when the
popular young Washington actor ap-
peared in the stellar role of Kirke La
SheIle's production OF Henry NJ. Bios
som. jr.'s, character comedy, Check
ers.' This fact was apparent the mo-
ment the pIaygOers entered the doors Of
the theater. Huge floral offerings were
displayed at the entrance to the audi
torium the gifts of friends with whom
Mr.. Robert was associated in business
in Washington before he chose the stage
for a career.
Checkers" is a race-track comedy
and Is lacking in finished and artistic
situations, but these facts did not mar
the pleasure Of those in last nights au-
dtence who had come primarily to see
Mr.. Robert making good"
Checkers has had a long and pros
porous run. Il has been seen from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific coast and has
aroused much enthusiasm, especially in
the West and Southwest. Possibly the
East is too effete 10 appreciate its broad
humOr and rather rude construction.
especially in the first act, for * was the
company rather than the play that i'm
pressed last nights audience.
Wallace WOrsley, another Washing
tonian, appeared in the role Of Arthur
Kendall. and his work evoked applause
second only to that accorded the star
The part, though uncongenial from a
human interest standpoint, was Capably
portrayed.
The quasi David Harum character OF
Adoniram Barlow was in the hands OF
Thomas NJ Hunter, and. while the I'M

trict Commissioners does well to
emphasize the need for the other
things Thus:
The Anacostia Flats must be re-
claimed.
The smoke law should be extended
TO include the railroads.
A District child labor law is
needed sadly.
Supervision over The local street
railways must be vested somewhere,
and with sufficient penalties for
non-conformance.
The water front should be i'm
proved.
The milk supply must be safe
guarded
To all this the Commissioners, the
associations Of local business men
the citizens bodies, and citizens in
dividuany must be prepared to give
gingery attention next fall. If they
map their campaign with the far
sight they employ in their private
business, if they are ready to co,
operate and so increase their
strength, rather than dissipate it il
disagreement, they should make q
! decided impression on the next Con
gress. And the. sooner Legislation
along the lines specified is obtained
the sooner Will the health and con
venience of the community be i'm
proved

Song OF A SOUL THAT FAILED

This is the song OF a soul that failed.
a soul in the millions hurled
a soul that wept. a soul that Crept away
from the throbbing world;
Il come, .. Lord. with ConTite heart.
in humbleness 70 Thee,
To ask for lie, its stress and strife, and
strength for mastery
Il wandered far from the paths that
led unto the browning heights.
The strength Ye gave I needed not, !
rocked not OF the fights
Sweet was the cup I had TO sup. the
nectar glitt'ring red
But .. the gall when the sweet was
gone. when the sparkling life had
fed,
II know the cost 10 the souls that lost
for I see them-Ehostly tribe
When they come in the shades as the
twilight fades, with hooking laugh
and jibe-
And they rail and wall in mournful ton,
throughout the livelong night.
With sunken eyes that look beyond and
faces ashen white.
The songs they sing, these souls tina
failed are dirEes, filed with pain,
Like dripping life blood. waning. slow
that comes from battles slain,
Their ranking forms are haunting. cold
their steps are tottring, slow
And I. another soul that failed, mus
join their ranks and go,
The stains upon my soul are black
And now I come to Thee,
For ] was blind 10 Thy master mind
and Deaths grim mystery.
With soul laid bare before Thy gates
