Granting of a franchise to the

extension of it's tracks along Carroll
avenue from the present terminus at
the District line through the mu-
nicipal limits of Takoma Park, Nd,

ED WROTHE TO STAR
IN MUSICAL COMEDY
BurleSque Funster at Gayety
Turns Down London
Offer.

Ed Lee Wrothe will not go to Lon
this year to appear at the Hippo
drcme as star of a musical show.
Wrothe announced his decision to this
effect today at the Gayety Theater,
where he and sliding" Billy Watson
are playing this week in the only
twin cylinder" burlesque show on the
Columbia circuit.
For the past nine years Wrothe has
received offers from the management
OF the London Hippodrome to become
a part of the company which puts on
the biggest musical show every sea
son to amuse the blase amusement
seekers of the English capital. He
has been tied up with contracts in
this country and could not even con-
slider the offers made to him until
this year.
Wife Puts Foot Down.
When the offer came this year It
was for so much money that the &C.
centric comedian felt he couldn't turn
1t down. Then came the German sub
marine which callede at Newport one
day and sank five or six ships the
next. Mrs. Wrothe made her appear
ance in the situation at that precise
moment with a final and fiat refusal
to accompany her husband on a trip
to England and a refusal to recognize
him or even buy flowers for his fu-
neral in case he should go.
That disposed OF the trip to Eng
land and all chance of Wrothe becom-
ing a Hippodrome star. But the fact
of the offer became known and
brought another.
This time II was the firm of Hurtig
& Seamon who made the proffer and
their idea is to star Wrothe in a
musical comedy in the s. theaters Of
the country next season. Wrothe ac-
cepted and the comedy is now being
written. Wrothe will have an eccentric
character part such as he has played
since he left the circus business to
become a comedian with the team OF
Bickell, Watson and Wrothe.
1T seems a long time ago since

White House Offices Heated With

The shortage in the coal supply

isn't worrying the men in charge OF
heating those rooms in the executive
offices at the White House these
days.
Let the wintry blasts blow, and
the snow storms come with their
near-zero temperatures, but as long
as the big supply of hard oak and
hickory recently contracted for holds
out, the fireman won't worry. The
first bit of wood obtained under the
new contract, was delivered recently.
The logs are large and long and
heavy. They viii burn for an in
definitely long time, throwing forth
much heat, and always giving a good
blaze. They do not have to be replen-
ished as often as did the ones burned
until a few weeks ago.
