BOOM JEANETTE RANKIN
AS NEXT CLERK OF HOUSE

woman member of Congress, may be
the next clerk of the House
Some of Miss Rankin's friends have
started a movement to make her
clerk. She was a candidate for the
Senate last fall, but was defeated.
Opposition is said to be certain TO
develop because of the fact Miss Ran
kin's candidacy last fall resulted in
the reelection of Senator Walsh,
Democrat.
However, those who favor Miss
Rankin argue that to select her
would be tangible evidence OF the
fact the Republican party recognize
women as a factor of importance in
politics.

INA CLAIRE SCORES
|NBELASCO COMEDY
BELASCO.

IL has only been a few years ago
since a pretty girl who could dance
and sing, frolicked and was the de-
light of her neighbors out North
Capitol street and Florida avenue.
Last night this same young miss re-
turned to Washington as the star In
a Belasco production at the Belasco,
and those who knew Ina Claire OF
yesterday, could hardly believe their
eyes. She is a real actress now.
In Polly With a Past" Miss Clare
carnied the greater part OF the com
edy through three acts and when II
was over the first-nighters departed
irm in their conviction that Davld
Belasco picked a winner when he
lifted the dainty dancer from The
Follies" and made her a leading lady.
Polly With a Past" was written by
George Middleton and Guy Bolton
and it is dotted with witty lines.
The company that handles the theme
is capable, and the audience was
tickled.
Polly makes her appearance as a
housemaid for a pair OF young
bachelors in a New York apartment.
When a love-sick, rich young l.lan
comes to call he confides to the maid
his undying love for a young woman
OF his set who is Indifferent to his
devotion because she is all wrapped
up in charitable work of saving
drunkards.
Polly lets it be known that she is
the daughter Of a minister from East
GiIead, Ohio, recently dead, and that
she is in New York to earn enough
to get her to Paris, where she might
finish her vocal training. Her butter
fly French mother, also dead, Is re-
sponsible for Polly's fluent command
Of French.
The young lady feels compassion for
the unrequited love affair OF Rex
Van Zile and offers a solution OF the
problem. She becomes the solution
in the guise of a French siren win
an awful past who invades the ex-
elusive society colony at Northampton,
l. J. Soon she has all the husbands
of the smart set telling her their
wives don't understand them.
The scheme put over by the two
bachelors and Polly works and tho
austere object of Rex's love Is set
on saving him from the wiles of the
vampire. But Rex don't love Myrtle
any more, and decides to let his en-
gagement to the girl with past
stand, much to the CONSERVATION OF
all concerned.
Cyril Scott as the arch plotter in
the love game gave a capital per-
formance as did Lloyd Neal Stiles as
the inebriate gent, who has been
saved" by the philanthropic Myrtle.
The fetching mannerisms OF Miss
Claire were a delight, and the way
she impersonated the awful French
lady with a past charmed the crowd
ed auditorium.
AS to be expected the stage settings
were typically Belascoan.
Another element that added to the
delight of all is the new carpeting
and new orchestra chairs that are
comfortable and roomy.

Word bobs up In the east that John
r. Madden. famous kentucky horse
man, plans to re-enter the thorough
bred game. Madden disposed OF his
and famous stable during
the war. If the dope runs true the
lure Of the game has proved too
strong for him and he has needed the
call.
Madden has furnished thrills in the
game for thirty years. He has been
a dealer. owner and breeder. With
out a doubt he is one OF the biggest
figures in the sport.
He drew the spotlight for the first
time back in 1887 when he started q
horse called Glass Leader in the
Grand Circuit and set in = mark Of
2:22A with the geldinE.
Two or three years later Madden
showed that he was in the game az
a dealer, too, by paying $4,000 for
Robert McGregor. Then he Jumped
to the running game. Hamburg.
Yankee, F1tz Herbert. Plaudtt. King
James. Ormondale, Sir Martin, the
great Salvidorc and other horses he
bred, raced or owned. brought him
coolies of fame and money.
How great has been his skill and
science is shown by the fact that in
his last two seasons Madden. pro-
duced SAT winners, almost twice an
many as his nearest rival.
While Madden has been known
principally as a running horse fan.
he has produced and owned many
great trotters. including Hamburg
