Boys Birthday Sets
Legal Tangle Straight

The legal tangle over the proper
place for confinement of Stephen Gin
singer, who was committed to Jail
by the Juvenile Court to await a
hearing before the grand jury on a
charge of stealing an automobile. was
Strengthened out today.
Stephen Ginslinger was only six
teen years old when he was arrested.
The warden of the District jail did
not want to hold him in that insti-
tuition because the law states that no
one under seventeen years of age
shall be confined there. The boy
could not be kept at the house Of de-
tention as that is intended only as
place of temporary Imprisonment.
A permanent committal is necessary
before a prisoner can be sent to the
reform school.
Today Stephen celebrated his sew
enteenth birthday anniversary, there
fore he may now be kept at the Jail
without violating any regulation.

CHASE'S THEATER
Mrs. Gene Hughes Shares
the Honors With Tay-
lor Holmes.

With a high-class opening bill Chase's
polite vaudeville in Washington, and
large crowds of patrons were present
at both Monday performances.
With one or two excetipons the num-
bers on the bill are new to Washington
theater goers, but all were Of sufficient
merit to prove most entertaining.
Mrs. Gene Hughes, supported by .
capable company. scored a hit. Mrs.
Hughes was youthful grandmother
who thinks young thoughts and, con-
sequently, Is young. She was like q
breath from the outside world when
she appeared in that frowsy household
where dwelt such a sweet little girl as
her granddaughter. However, the in
fiuence of such a grandmother could
not but be infectious and soon every
body went out to a dinner party with
granny" who looked younger than
the youngest.
Taylor Holmes, late star Of THE COM
muters," is a magnet for the opening
performance of the season. He has
funny stories and amusing songs that
brought the smiles and even the tears.
Holmes dialect tales are In a class by
themselves ana ne mas some OF the best.
His concluding mouologue dealing with
the old, broken-down actor seeking q
position only to meet with failure,
touched the hearts of ali and showed
the depths of Holmes ability.
The Marinsba Band Of Guatemalans Is
an excellent quartet, who play a ma
tive stringed instrument constructed
on the order Of a huge xylophone with
the tone of a duIcimer. Their rendi-
ton Of "Cavalleria Rusticana' and Sc
lections from Norma" won encores.
The days of Hanlon's ''Superba" and
"Fantasma" are recalled by a panto-
mimic novelty entitled Just Phor
Phun," in which the agility Of two Of
the younger brothers is displayed. The
mirror dance was a feature of their
performance.
