CONWAY WAS
STREET SINGER

His decision to go on the stage hav-
ing been prompted by the success
achieved I'm entertaining his neigh
bors as member of Juvenile quar-
tet, Jack Conway, chief funmaker and
Eeadliner with the Liberty Girls at
tho Gayety Theater this week, looks
with compassion today on street cor
rer singers.
Conway was a member of an Irish
quartet which sang under neighbor-
hood windows in Fall River. Mass, a
decade ago. Instead of showering
him with kitchen utensils and un-
kinds words, the neighbors heaped
compliments on his head. Their praise
set young Conway to thinking seri-
ously of mimicry and singing as an
occupation, and when the opportunity
was presented he Joined a minstrel
troupe.
So that's why he will cavort on the
stage at the Gayety this week. instead
or swinging a heavy sledge hammer
in his fathers smithy in Fall River.

TO BE FUNNY
is OFT>HARD

The comedians life is not bed of
roses, atsl least that is what Josie
Intropidi and Eddie Garvie, the two
delightful fun dispensers in Betty Be
Good" at the Garrick Theator next
Sunday night. In fact, Mr.. Garvie in
sists upon 1T so cmphatically that he
grows red in the face.
Mr.. Garvie plays a philanderfng
husband, while Miss Intropidi is his
suspicious and superstitIous wife.
Comedy is the hardest thing to
play Mr.. GarYie explains, because
no two people see the same things in
the same light, and what one person
will laugh his head off at, another
will hear with a stony face. No mat
ter how funny line may be. If the
actors facial expression does not get
over as well as the comedy--it's lost.
The life of n comedian is work-hard
work"
Miss Intropidi smiled her brilliant
smile, and showed her teeth. which
are one of her great assets to fame,
and replied:
an spite of possessing sense Of
humor, Eddie, you fuss more than
anyone ] ever met; but you are funny:
funnier, perhaps. off the stage when
you do fuss" Miss Intropidi grinned
with Joy at Mr.. Garvie's expression of
Gismay.
Eddie and are oh friends" she
continues, "and 1t is lot OF fun play.
ing together. Comedy depends as
greatly on Characterization as ii does
a Ill
and force. Comedy must be bright
and UP to the minute"
Frankly TO the public IL matters
not what the comedians or come.
dienne's laughs depend on: the thing
is that both Miss Intropdi/and Mr..
Garvie. keep the audiences In spasms
of mirth and one or two OF the reasons
that Betty Be Good" has been SO
popular during its preliminary tryout.

Harken to Bertee Beaumonte, pre-
mier dancer of THE Magis Melody"
company at Polls Theater next week.
but harken to her not as a dancer. but
as philosopher.
Miss Beaumont says. 'T have had
only one teacher in my life. and his
name is Soul. / know that sounds
rather ridiculous and perhaps savors
of Greenwich Village, but it is the
truth. Iwill try to- explain.
Now all art ia nothing but an ex-
preston of certain emotions and inn
pressions. But the art of motion has
been neglected. Every emotion is ex-
pressed Beautifully in music and every
one can be wonderfully interpreted
in motion. 1t is possible. but the only
school from which you can learn l,
is Soul. and it's friend and ally,
Nature"
Dancing was originally an express
sion of thought. The Bachanal was
originally an outburst of Joy. Uncon-
fined movement expressing bouyant
heart. but now 1t has degenerated into
a series of leaps and bounds learned
by a set rule and performed in time
with a set piece of music"
Take for instance an Egyptian
dance. That suggests-~to you the
popular idea now in vogue. Angular
contortions which are anything but
graceful and are simply reproduced
postures taken from the crude carv-
ings found on ancient Egyptian archi-
lecture"
But think Egypt. The very name
suggests mystery. The great Sahara
with it's winds. moaning among the
sand dunes. The silent Sphinx and
purple shadows. The musicians in
terpret it with mysterious. sensuous
music. Enchanting minors and the
faint throbbing under beat are used
to take you back through the past
into the Great Unknown"
That is just the thought I try to
express with my body whenever I dc
an Egyptian dance. I try to convey
with motion all the subtle mystery
of the Orient and that is why you
never see me use the accepted angular
forms which are associated with that
form of dancing"
Everything in nature can be ex-
pressed. and we receive the impres-
sion through sight, sound, or move
ment, or in color, music or motion.
What the painter expresses in color
and the musicians express in music,
try to express in motion. 1t is
through Soul that these impressions
are received and it is through Soul
that they are expressed"
And when-you think il over, and
when you see Miss Beaumonte dance
in '"The Magic Melody" you will agree
she Is right.

Mother Tells Her to Take
Hypo-Cod and Says IT'S
Grand for CataYrh.
STOPPED COUCH AND
BUILT HER UP, TOO

How a mother can quickly stop a
cough, rid the system OF catarrhal
trouble and why such a condition is
really dangerous is told below. Every
one should read IL carefully. She
said:
My grown daughter had a bad
cough and a catarrhal condition of
the head and nasal passages. She had
pains from constant coughing through
her lungs and chest. and think she
had some fever, too. She had lost her
appetite and was almost prostrated-
she felt miserable and achy all over.
The first bottle of Earle's Hypo-
Cod gave her splendid relief Her
coughing stopped and her cold SEEM
ed to dry right up. She began eating
hearty. and grew so much stronger
that in just a few days she was
around feeling well again" declared
Mrs. A. Gaghan, "'and so I say to
others troubled this way-take

great preparation publicly" contin-
ued Mrs. Gaghan. 1926 LIST ST. n. E.

.LOEW'S PALACE
ONE YEAR. OLD

Loew's Palace Theater begins. on
next. Sunday afternoon. the celebra-
ton of its first birthday anniversary.
This anniversary week. which will
be properly observed by the presenta-
.tion of program of unusual excel
lence. still finds Loew's Palace The
ater, after year of existence, firm
lys entitled to, it's reputation as ''the
nations most beautiful playhouse,
and it is noteworthy also that In all
the Marcus Loew chain of theaters,
numbering over 300 and scattered
from coast to coast. there is only
one finer theater, and that has been
erected since.
1t was on November 4. 1918, that
the Palace made its inaugural bow
to Washington. For about ten
months, the Palace met tha amuse-
ment demands Of its patrons with
program that was changed twice
weekly and which included. from
time to time, seven-day showings of
some special photodramatic feature
of unusual merit.
On September j, last, II was de-
cided that a theater of the type Of
the Palace would find its most ap-
propriate place among cinema houses
which changed programs but once
week and in order to obtain produc-
tions which would measure up to this
standard, the Palace began combtng
the field for attractions OF the first
class.
1t is of interest to recall that
since it's opening, Loew's Palace has
been the only theater in Washing
ton presenting for the first time the
releases Of David Ward Griffith that
have been made since the erection of
that theater. The Palace has also
had the honor of presenting to wash
ington Douglas Fairbanks first pho
toplay release in association with Mr..
Griffith, Mary Pfckford, and Charley
Chaplin. Many other big super
productions might be included in this
list, which speaks well indeed, for
the first year of the Palaces exist
ence and BODIES we'll for the class of
productions that theater will run
during the coming twelve months.

CHINESE SUSTAINED
AS CADET CAPTAIN
Appointment Will Be Upheld,
Says Van Schaick After School
Board Meeting.

The protests of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics against the ap-
pointment of Yung< Kwai, son of the
counselor to the Chinese embassy, as
captain in the cadet corps. had little
effect upon members of the Board of
Education, as evidenced by their de-
c&ioH yesterday.
Following a report on the school
and military record of Kwai at Central
High School. the Rev. DIR. John Van
Schaick, president of the board. an
nounced that the appointment would
be upheld. Ernest l.. Thurston, super.
intendent of schools, who investigated
the life history of the boy, asserted
Kwai was one of the brightest and
most respected students of the high
school.
Il and my associates on the board
are proud of the record made by this
young man, as a result of which he
received his appointment, and / am
proud of the school that would
appoint him." said DR.. Van Schaick
after hearing Superintendent Thurs
toms report.
The Junior Order disfavored the ap-
pointment of Kwai because he was a
Chinese subject. 1t is doubtful. In
view of the fact that widespread In
terest in the case shows school
authorities and students favor the ap-
pointment, whether the Junior Order
will take further action in the matter.
The board closed the investigation
Of the administration of Roscoe c.
Bruce, colored assistant superinten-
dert Of schools. when it announced a
two weeks vacation 'sto visit schools
in other cities for Mr.. Bruce.
DR.. Van Schaick stated Bruce need
ed a rest after going through the
strain of the recent investigation.
Discuss Teacher Shortage.
In secret session, the board dis
cussed the shortage OF teachers in the
schools, and definitely agreed to ask
Congress for lump sum appropria-
tion to enable school officials to OBJ.
tain; more instructors.
The preliminary survey OF the
schools here made by the United
States Bureau of Education was read
to the board. The survey was ap-
rroved and a resolution requesting
the Federal board to complete the
survey as soon as possible was passed
