SOCIETY PRESENT At
! MASK AND WIG PLAY
"RoyaI Arms" at Belasco,
Shows Actors to Possess
Much Talent.

Washington society. numbering many
University of Pennsylvania alumni, sa-
luted The Royal Arms last msht al
the Belasco. 1t did not matter lhat
the royalty on the stage were mere
college boys, many of whom proved 10
be girls of striking atuactlHeness' lS. H!;a I9a
all were members OF the MASK ana WIZ
Club, and it is not sacrilege TO salute
this talented crew.
Gorgeously mounted and brilliant in
beautiful color combinations, they per-
mitted not an idle minute in the even
ing. Opening on a scene Of animated
beauty, Brighton Beach on summery
day. with cadets, summer girls, sum-
mer boys, and guests without number,
there began three hours of sparkling
repartee, lively music, and dancing that
could not be more graceful had all been
Castles The swift action of the musical
comedy was interrupted frequently by
applause and lit and swing of the Penn
sylvania University yell with proper
recognition TO the Washington alumni,
terminated much too soon an evening of
rare enjoyment.
The Royal Arms tells a story of
defective detectives. all OF whom pick
out Robert A. La Sale, a retired Chi
cago merchant with q marriageable
daughter and niece, as the medium
through which they are to bag two al
legged robbers. Rupert and Henry, two
nelsberSen; travelling incognito. are sus-
pected by George Washington keane,
the Aurora Ill. sleuth. On the eve of
their marriage into the La Sale family
Keane arrests the duke and prince. who
later escape from Brighton and return
20 their prlncipality of HinImelbergen.
The second act finds the gay Mask
and Wtggers in Himmelsbergen,
where the duke and prince renew
their rightful positions and finally win
the love of the American girls, thus
outwitting the detectives and closing
the production in true musical comedy
fashion
The last word in gracefuIness was
seen in the dancing of the large COM
psny of chorus girls and chorus
men. All the attributes of professional
them, ard all moved with a perfection
that reflected much on the ability or
their trainer.
The tango and maxixe were never
more gracefully executed and the car
nival dance and the artistic spectrum
dance were marveIs of beauty and
grace. I'm the Land Where the Cot
ton Grows" was a dancing number in
which rare skill was shown.
Olive Burton, personified by the lead
.ng lady Of the organization, r G.
Morris. proved a charming creature
with voice and action that bordered
closely on the Julian E1tinge way. On
Mr.. Morris much of the musical nrm-
oSIe ueNOlNSu, anu MS IlCu UdlSlOIlc
voice was the only thing that betrayed
his sex. Thomas Hart, as Roberta, the
other girl, was as vivacious as she was
ccmely, and her dancing was a delight.
The comedy parts were handled with
excellent success by y. A. Hogan,
whose Cohanesque proclivities made
him generally amusing and I. B. Nor

queradinG as a detective. Morrells
antics brought spontaneous laughs The

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantases Of moxsy but every child
born Is entitled to the heritage Of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness In the feed
ing Of baby its tiny stomach may
become deranged. The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing Il
great suffering. II the condition II
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result.
There Is, however, no occasion for
alarm. and the sensible thing to do
but II should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of a mid

APPROVE
RACE SEGREGATION
North Washington Residents
Vigorously Oppose Prouty
Changes in George Bill.

Segregation of the races in the Dis
trict was approved. and vigorous oppo-
sition to the Prouty amendment to the
George bill was voiced at the meeting
Of the North Washington Citizens
Association last night in parish hall.
Church of the Advent. Second and U
streets northwest.
H. F. Worley. president OF the Asso-
citation. reported that the executive
committee had completed a bill provid-
ing for the separation of the white and
colored residents OF the District, and
plans were made for having the meas
ure introduced soon IN both branches
of Congress.
Efforts will be made to enlist the aid
Of other citizens associations In urg-
ing the passage Of the bill. The meas
ure provides that no white family may
move into q block where a majority
of the residents are colored persons
and that no colored families may move
into a block where moro than fifty per
cent of the residents are white.
In discussing a resolution Of protest
against the Prouty amendment, which
was unanimously passed, W. D. Mac
kensie included in his remarks a ref
erence to the objects of the Committee
of 100. He said the committee did not
represent the views of the citizens Of
the District in that it left suffrage out
of its advocacy. MI. Mackensie said
that while he opposed any effort to
disturb the half-andhalf plan, he felt
the most important proposition was
procuring the right of franchise for
residents of the District.
How the income on his property had
steadily decreased until now he re-
Ceived less than per cent return on
his investment was told by c. A. Ford,
in favoring the present fiscal relations
between the District and the Federal
Governments. He expressed the view
that the Prouty amendment would fur
ther decrease the return on his money.
Opposition to the Prouty amendment
also was expressed by D. S. Hoover
and Hugh Everett.
The Association indorsed the plan of
using the schools of the District for
civic centers. There will be no fur
ther meetings during the summer
months unless especially called by the
president

IN CORN field
Sheriff Finally Arrests Man
For Selling
Liquor. y

Cogswell, N. D.. Sept. s.-James
Walker, a transient who has been
working near Gwinner for the past
two months, was arrested by the mar
shall at Wyndmere on a phone message
from Sheriff Jackman. on charge Of
bootlegging and grand larceny.
Walker is said to have been peddling
squirrel whiskey to the harvest hands
around Gwinner for some time and in
some way got wise" to the fact that
the authorities were about to land
him. Just before taking the eastbound
freight he robbed companion Of $25
in money, a watch. pair OF cuff
buttons, q shirt and a pocketbook.
AS the train pulled into Wyndmere
Walker jumped off and hit in a corn
field. but was found by the marshal
who was watching for him when the
train pulled in. He was brought to
Forman by Sheriff Jackman and was
taken before Justice Carlblom at
Gwinner. He pleaded guilty to the
charge Of bootlegging but waived ex-
animation to the grand larceny charge
and was bound over to the district
court under $500 bonds. When ar
rested he had five pints Of whiskey
and half a gallon of alcohol. He was
unable to furnish bonds and now Ian
guishes in the county bastile awaiting
trial. His case will probably come
UP at the next term of court which
convenes Tuesday, September 8.
