Heart Interest has arrived in the de-

In Washington at the Columbia Theater.
It has the sweet voice Of childhood, and
its name of Joyce Fair. the kidnapped
child, in THE Dummy"
Three-quarters of the people who see
Heart Interest arrive in the detective
drama, in any performance of THE
Dummy" go home believing that Harvey
OHiggins and Harriet Ford's play is one
more triumph for the detective drama.
But the truth of the matter is it is one
more triumph for Heart Interest.

FOREIGN TEACHERS
DECLARED FAKES

Teachers of voice abroad are fakes!
Girls and boys. don't go abroad to study
singing. Stay in this country. The teach
ers here are better, more honest, and will
do more for a pupil. Thousands Of young
Americans have had their voices utterly
ruined abroad, who II they had studied
with some Of the many superior instruc-
tors In this country or Canada would be
successful singers today"
The foregoing from Irene Powlaski, the
Juliska of Henry W. Savage's company in
the operetta "Sari," which comes to the
National this week. Miss PowIash can
speak with authority. for only last fall
she returned from three years study
abroad.
I'm tremendously glad to put myself
on record before the boys and girls who
are planning a course of voice study, and
I'll be happy If can dissuade at least
some of them from becoming victims OF
and Rome, who prey and wax fat upon
the misguided and deluded young folks
who go to them as pupils.
Naturally I'd rather not mention
names, but think a general description
will serve. The foreign teachers know
absolutely nothing about placing the
voice, or developing its tone or quality.
They can coach you in songs, yes. II
you wish to learn one song that was in
their repertoire they are all right. Their
value stops right there. Indeed. beyond
that they are positively harmful.

ty nearly the entire rabble. This teach

Barney stories in Golfers, chronicles
founded on the real adventures of a boy
detective. and from them she and Mr..
O'Higgins wrote The Dummy" the title
OF which is a colloquialism to describe a
deaf mute.
The play has been running successfully
in New York for the past six months and
returns here as a Thanksgiving offering
with Ernest Truck and Joyce Fair still
playing the principal roles.
A dainty bit of femininity is Fraulein
Mizzi Hajos, the diminutive prima donna,
who returns to the New National Theater
this week in the title role of "Sari," in
which she made such a distinctive hit
when Henry w. Savage gave the Ameri-
, can premiere of the piece at this same
theater last season.
The little Hungarian singer made her
initial bow to local theater patrons as a
full-fiedged star a couple of seasons back
when she appeared here at the Columbia
Theater in Her Little Highness," the ro-
mantle comedy written by Claiming Pol

Reginald de Koven and produced by
Werba and Luescher.
Her Little Highness'' proved an un-
fortunate venture for its delightful star,
for 1t soon went to the storehouse after
its New York presentation, after which
Miss Hajos set sail in a more certain
craft on the Savage sea.

scored a great triumph for her magnetic

Fourth. 1t has been thought that Of
fering to give the purchaser his money
back would best assure him that he was
getting square DEAL" and this also has
been included in the plan. So to every
purchaser under this cooperative plan we
say: "Try this piano for thirty days in
your home. If you are not satisfied, Your
Money Back'-and no questions asked"
Fifth. The idea was also advanced that
thirty days trial of piano was hardly
suf6cient-so that objection has been met
by agreeing to exchange the piano for any
other new piano sold by us of equal or
greater value without the loss of single
penny, at any time up to within one year
from the day, it was purchased.
Sixth. And, finally, the fear of losing
the piano and what has been paid upon it,
in case of death before the piano is entirely
paid for, has been overcome by our pro-
posing to voluntarily cancel all further
payments.
