ruth DRAPER CHARMS
AS AN MPERSONATOR
Distinguished Monologist Entertain.
Notable Audience. i

Ruth Draper, distinguished as
monologist, apeared at Rauscher's
last night before a representative au-
dience including leaders Of the social
and artistic elements Of the city.
The deft and felicitous art of Miss
Draper was shown in a series of i'm
presentations, ranging from a pertIy
courageous little Ghetto girl to the
drawing, superconsciously aristoctatic
hostess OF an English house party.
While Miss Draper Possesses a rare
dlvination Of character and a per-
feet surety of technical expression,
her art is characterized by an oddly
impersonal detachment. This perhaps
Is caviling. But it is this quality
which gives to her uncannily clever
impersonations their dominant note,
which is of the intellect and not of
the heart.
Perhaps the most notable of Miss
Diapers studies was the depressingly
realistic Three Generations in the
Domestic Relations Court" with its
tense tragedy of the bitter necessities
Of the poor. At the other end of the
Samut was the amusing delination of
a debutante who endeavors to speak
the language of the ''higher things"
As a conclusive effort Miss Draper
presented the timely story of a plucky
French woman who. bereaved of her
poilu husband, indomitably faces the
future with a brave "Vive la France"
on her lips.

REALTY BROKERS
INCREASE SCALE
!. OF COMMISSION
Constantly Increasing Cost
Of Doing Business Given
as the Cause.

The Real Estate Brokers' Associa-
ton OF Washington at its meeting In
the Board Sof Trade last night voted
unanimously to increase the existing
scale of commissions on the sale OF
real estate and exchanges.
Every member of the organization
agreed with Chairman Mortimer j.
Luchs, of the special committee on re-
vision Of commissions that the con-
stantly increasing cost Of doing busi
ness merited an advance in prices for
the brokers IL they were to maintain
their business at a profit.
1t was pointed out that the buying
public will really get the benefit Of the
sdyances since it will be possible
under the new scale to maintain efti-
Gent selling organizations, and keep
the service to clients up to its present
high standard-an impossibility under
the existing schedule.
The New Rates.
Five per cent on city property up
to 5000 valuation. Three per cent
on excess valuation over 5000. The
former rate was three per cent
straight
Five per cent straight commission
on all sales OF suburban property,
substantially the same as the former
rate
On exchanges, two and one-haf
per cent for all exchanges Of property
the owner of the higher valued prop
erty pays three per cent on the ex-
cess shown in the exchange, and five
per cent on the excess, II any, II the
property is in the suburbs.
The minimum commission remains
- nd the nafntv,oNrR I'M
on exchanges 800.
The members Of this committee were
Lee d. Latimer, S. L. Sansbury, Clar-
ence F. Donohoe and Randall H.
Hagner.
Oppose Alley Law.
A special committee on fire insur-
ance rates after an investigation re-
perted that the Washington rates are
fair in comparison with those in vogue
in other cities. Where the rates are
high, the report says, the fault lies
largely with owners who permit haz-
ardous risks and conditions to exist
The association went on record as
against the rigid enforcement OF the
so-called alley law. which went into
effect on July l. until some remedy
| for relieving the families affected is
| found and the housing problem be-
comes less acute. 1t was pointed out
that there are ESQ dwellings fronting
on alleys and to dispossess the 5000
or more occupants without finding
some way of caring for their hous-
ing would infiict great hardship and
suffering.
The association will take this mat
ter up with the District officials and
with DR.. r. S. Woodard and Will
4 liam H. Baldwin, who are studying
|tthe housing problem for the District
libranch Of the Council of National
Defense
