Harry Jarboe Is the manager Of
the Gayety Theater in Washington.
He saw something in a paper which
he did not like, reflecting upon the

do, and mentioned q few of the
stars who had graduated from this
field. OF course, IL Mr.. Jarboe had
had more space he could have told

BurIesque Today.
Years ago when people wanted to
80 TO burlesque they would whisper
it to each other, but today it is an
sntirely different proposition. Many
burlesque shows offered on the Co
iuznbla wheel are as good as many
musical comedies offered at a legit-
innate 81 theater. The same can be
said for Hurtig & Seamon's bur
lesque theater on West 125th street,
where they appeal to q home class.
The best families in that district
visit there weekly-have the same
seats week in and week out
throughout the entire season.
There are no harder working ac-
tors, actresses, or chorus girls than
those in burlesque, II one will con-
slider for q moment that they must
rehearse every morning. matinee
every day, q performance every
evening, and on Sundays they
travel II is all work. Legitimate
managers visit burlesque to pick
out the coming stars.
Determined To sCIean UD.,
Fifteen years ago about a dozen
men who had been operating in
the burlesaue business along the
lines familiar to the public deter
mined to "clean up" burIesque and
put the stamp of worth and merit
upon it. Prominent among these
men are many OF those who now
constitute the directorate OF the

Scribner, Charles H. Waldron, Gus
Hill, Jules Hurtig, John G. Jer-
mon, William s. Campbell, and
others.
These men worked industri-
ously and with the single purpose
in view OF removing the blot on
theatrical business caused by the
character OF the shows and the ap-
pearancs and conduct of the thea
ters in which those shows were
given. From 1902 to 1910 steady
progress was made. In the latter
year, the Columbia Theater was

TO PROTECT CONSUMER
IS AIM IN FOOD CONTROL
Government Not to Hesitate to Take
Over Supplies When Deemed
Necessary.

Although government food experts
oppose fixing maximum prices on staple
food products except to force big hold
ers to release their supplies. protection
for the consumer will be one of the first
considerations of the new food control
administration.
If there is a shortage in any food
staple and it becomes essential to lower
the price, the government, it was said
today. will not hesitate to take over
supplies and distribute them itself. In
this way officials believe more can be
accomplished than by setting maximum
prices beyond which sellers may not
charge. If there is an abundance OF
food. however. they do not think it
ever will become necessary to exercise
the power of commander
Only One Remedy, at Times.
A short crop of any commodity. food
experts say. will send prices up through
competitive bidding, despite ordinary
regulatory measures, and the only
remedy. they hold. in this case is for
the government to take over the prod
uct. paying the grower good price
and distributing the food where it is
most needed.
European demands for food this wear
will take all of Americas surplus. The
allies. it has been stated on good aue
thority, need one billion bushels of
grain to carry them through the year.
With normal crops this country can
furnish 400.000.000 bushels of this and
Canada 200.000.000. This will fiji only
so per cent of the allies needs, but of
ficials believe America by economizinp
can increase this to 80 per cent, pro-
.yided crops are normal.
To Start Saving Campaign.
The food administration as soon nc
organized will start a campaign for
saving in the household and hopes to
cut down ordinary consumption to a
extent.
The governments food experts think
the plan for voluntary Organization
to handle the food situation will win
the cooperation of the country. If II
fails bureaucratic system. they be-
lieve. will have to be Instituted.
