IRREGULAR TRENDSHOW

NEW YORK. February 27.-Trading
in the New York stock market con-
tinuts narrow and without anything in
the way of influences to cause any de-
cided renewal of activity or display of
especial strength.
The street discounted the Presidents
address yesterday and advanced ship
ping shares on It. which furnished an
opportunity for the longs to get out
at good profit and induced some short
selling this morning on the theory that
the advance was not warranted.
Immediately on the opening the bears
seemed to have the best OF the situation.
General recessions of 1 to 2h points
followed, the latest aspects Of the in
ternational situation being accredited
as responsible.
At the low point there were more or
less positive evidences of support that
could only come from insiders and
financial interests, the recoverfes prac-
tically offsetting the declines. espet ial-

Snm Howe Recalls
Old Ivy City.

At the Gayety this week IL a man
who actually asked about Ivy City
the other day. His name Is sam
Howe and he knows all about that
mythical little place across the East
ern Branch, which has almost disap
peared from memory. 1t was this
way.
Howe started out as a youngster to
be a horse trainer. Years ago, when
Ivy City was an important point on
the map, Sam was an exercise boy.
Ivy City has practically disappeared
now, and there are only a few Wash
lngtonians who can remember when
II was the headquarters OF the Ns-
tional Capitals racing fraternity.
From the race tracks Mr.. Howe
started his career In the show world.
and acquired an interest in melo-
drama. He produced many, for melo-
dramas were as certain OF turning In
profit as Government bonds at that
time.
II was Mr.. Howe who first inter
ested Al Woods In the theatrical bust
ness, with melodrama in which Terry
McGovern. the young pugilist, played
a heavy role. Mr.. Woods was Nc.
Governs manager at that particular
time. Woods has since become one

ONE zIPPY MUSICAL COMEDY
ZiegfeId FoIIies to Sing and
Dance at National, Vieing
With Tragic Muse.

Some weeks ago a wish was made
in this theatrical section that real
tragedy come to town, for the main
purpose Of seeing how Washington
play patrons would regard such an
offering.
There was absolutely no thought at
the time of even a possibility of the
realization of such a wish.
Yet exactly the situation desired has
come to pass. In the same week two
offerings the very antithesis OF one
another are billed as the attractions
at the Belasco and the National.
The first real tragedy produced here
in months, surely the first three-act
modern one in years, and the latest
and zippiest of zippy musical come
dies are to vie with one another.
ALA Nazimova comes in "Ception

"Rlch Man, Poor Man, Made
A Popular Debut.

Rich Man, Poor Man." the Poll at
traction for this week, appeared in
the Saturday Evening Post in seven
installments, and with the very first
installment It established a record.
Immediately after It appeared four
prominent figures in the theatrical
world made offers for the dramatic
rights. The four were Henry Miller,
John d. Williams, formerly business
manager for Charles Frohman and
now an Independent producer; Jules
Eckert Goodman, author OF 1.-THE Man
Who Came Back" among other sue
cesses, and Blr. Broadhurst.
The surprise was that all four OF
them SHOULD make an offer when the
story was barely begun, before they
knew anything at all about the twists
Mr.. Foster was going to take with IT,
Mr.. Broadhurst secured the rights
at once. Strangely enough, Mr..
Broadhurst had never met Mr.. Foster,
though he was. well acquainted with
his work. But he did know Mr.. Fos-
ter's attorney In San Francisco, Jo-
seph Redding, and IL was to him that
Mr.. Broadhurst wired the advance
payment of $1,000.

VIII Rogers Was
ROped ON the Stnge!

Some people get on the stage with
Influence" some with looks. some
with pure nerve, some with blind
fate pushing them.
But few are literally roped IN as
VIII Rogers was. He was just q
regular Oklahoma cowboy at nrst
with a ready tongue and unusual
ability to use a lariat.
A few years ago he deserted his
position as an Oklahoma cowboy to
join a wild west show as a lariEt
thrower. Following his tent exper-
fence he presented his rope act in
vaudeville. While appearing In the
two-a-day 1t dawned upon Rogers
that he might improve his. lariat
throwing act considerably by adding
q little chatter.
He wrote a small monologue which
he delivered while throwing the rope.
The addition made the act a headliner
in vaudeville. E. Ziegfeld, jr., who
considers Rogers one OF the greatest
Of comedians, recently placed him
under u two years contract for the
"Ziegfeld Follies"s
