7 THEATRE
Just Plain Guy Goes
to Hear Prima Donna
Schumann-Heink Sing

A Writer in the Star of Seattle,
| Wash, says of Madame SchumanL-
Heink who sings at Augustana
gymnasium on the evening of Oct.
30, coming under the auspices of
the Amoo grotto:
Mime. Ernestine Schumann-
Heink is going to give another
concert in Seattle. I'm glad of it.
1 was one of the lucky chaps who
got seat last night. But there
were 1000 others who didn't. And
there was a line in front of the
Metropolitan theatre that waited a
good long spell, while the rain
poured cats and dogs for a chance
to get into the gallery. Some got
good and drenched and had to
leave disappointed. So I'm glad
they will have another opportunity
to take In the Schumenn-Heink
concert, and / want to tell you
right here and now that I'm not one
of those guys who can discuss
technique and music a la grand
opera. There are concerts and con-
certs. Some of 'em bore me. But
others are different.
Mime. Schumann-Heink strikes
me altogether as the most charm
ing singer of 'em all-and I've
heard a lot of 'em. My wife has
seen to that part of it, whether I
wanted to or not She's improving
my musical education. Now.
Ill III. Ill l.
sang some numbers l never heard
about and couldn't pronounce, but
what of that? It's her personality
that makes a hit with me. She
seems to love the songs she sings.
Honest. She works hard. There
are some artists who go about
their singing cold-bloodedly. Well,
that's not the kind Nine. Schumanu-
Heink is. In the first place, She's
not stiff in her manners, anyhow.
Shes talks to the audience between
songs, makes comments on her as
sistants, speaks Of one of 'em as
that "longboy."s You'd think she
was comedienne the way she pro-
duces the laughs-wholesom good
natured laughs from the audience
by her motherly reference to her
children" meaning her accompan-
ist and male soloist.
TITS great! Ever see any other
opera star do anything like that?
No, they walk out dignifiedIy, make
their bows, give their encores, and
never say a word. But don't get
me wrong. folks. I'm telling you
about Nine. -Heink's lack
of stiffness to emphasize the same
trait in her singing. It's human
singing, the kind that makes you
think of home-real homes-and
loved ones. And with such feel
ing! She perspired at her work as
fgreely as an acrobat-that's how
deep her emotions are opened up in
her songs. I'm going to hear her
again Saturday night. She's going
to have a new program, too. And
a double dose of concerts in four
days is going some for plain
cook like me-"

Gus Edwards, Writer
and Producer, Comes
to Columbia Thursday

The Columbia announces a var
iety bill starting Sunday, to con-
finue four days, featuring Fred Ga

pany in an Italian fantasy entitled
"Attenzione." Second on the bill,
Roy LaPearl, theoretically speak

in the purple, for Roy is a son Of
that famous Snowman who owned
the La Pearl circus some time ago.
THE Worlds Greatest Areialist"

prise
Honor Thy Children" is a play
let written by Samuel Shipman AMI
Glare Lipman, who have probably
written more successful big time
sketches than any other writers.
The sketch is unusual and will
prove an unalloyed delight to every
lover of vaudeville. Other acts on
the bill are Myrtle Mason in songs,
assisted by Star and Scott; Con
chas, Jr., and company; also the
usual kinogram and topics of the
day.
For three days, starting next
Thursday, one of the few real stars
today in vaudeville. Gus Edwards,
is coming. He is known lyrically
and musically from the concert
stage to the hand organ. Gus Ed
wards, who has written many pop
ular songs, has not been content
to devote his time solely to must
cal compositions. He has written
and produced revues, and in this
line he was so successful that
Gus Edwards revue was accepted
as the last word in tabloid come
dies. For a time Mr.. Edwards
starred himself IN a series of these
revues Then he retired from the
stage and produced musical COM
edies, featuring other players. Now
pressure has been brought to bear
that Mr.. Edwards is again appear
ing in person at the head of one of
his companies. This he describes
as "A Welcome Home Revue" AS
his assistants he has Vincent
ODonnell. known as the Kid Nc
COrmack, Alice and Hazel Furness,
This newest Of the Edwards pro-
auctions is Characteristic of the
kind he has always produced-new
songs, elaborate scenic settings and
costume creations, and a whole
bunch OF first released Edwards
songs. These are put together in
an unusual manner so that each
number is a song production.

were defeated by the Dreadnoughts

ord of victories. were soon shown
that they must hustle to land the
verdict. but even when they tried
their aerial stunts of forward
heaves they were met with an op-
position that always grounded their

Even at line plunging the
Dreadnoughts showed wonderful
strength as the visitors were able
to gain but one first down. Crouch,
in left tackle for the Dreadnoughts,
was the individual star of the
game. while Dreyfuse's run of 20

summary:
The Washington herald., 1919-11-17

II can readily be seen that. in reali-
ty. the line forms the backbone of
gridiron work. for it plays an equal
ly important part in offensive and
defense playing. For this reason IL
Is found that coaches everywhere
pay particular attention to the de-
veiopment of powerful forwards.
They depend on these forwards to
stop opposing attacks and to pro-
tect their own backs by keeping op-
posing linemen from breakInl
through and by making openings
when on the offensive.
II a team boasts a good running
attack and a strong kicker, its ef-
fectiveness is materially lessened il
the line Is weak. II the opposr--on's
forwards are able to break through
1t is impossible for the backs to get
started and many plays are sure to
be mussed up before they are fairly
under way. Losses instead of gains
are the result A kicker when punt
ing or trying for a goal from the
field must depend upon his Iinemen
to give him time to get the ball
away. If the opposing forwards
come crashing through on him he is
compelled to kick much higher than
ordinarily to prevent the ball from
being blocked. In the case of a
man trying for a field goal. IL the
enemy crashes through his own line
the direction of his kick is certain
to suffer to an appreciable extent
In contrast to this. there have
been instances where a compare
lively weak backfield has been made
fairly successful as a scoring ma
chine by the work of a strong line.
The line has been able to make
openings for the backs through the
enemy's defense. II has been able
to protect the man with the ball
and many more yards have been
gained than the runner possibly
could have made had he been COM
PEELED to depend chiefly upon his in
ability to advance.

INTEREST TURNS TO
BIG SERVICE BATTLE

Annapolis. Nov. l6.-With all the
games of the local schedule complet-
ed. the coaches of the Naval Acad-
emy team are giving their undivided
attention to pointing up the eleven
to meet the army. This is. Of course,
the great object of the work of the
whole season but it is not possible
to overlook entirely preparation for
the other games. Except in one or
two places, the selections for the
team are made, and special attention
from now on will be given to the
men who will fight for the navy
against the army.
The chances of the game are dis
cussed on all sides. and the general
opinion is that the outcome is a
toss-ap and will depend upon the use
which the respective coaches. DObie
and DAILY. make OF the next two
weeks. West Point mas i'm Lystad and

EWING IS EASY
FOR NAVY YARD
Gunners Walk Rough-Shod
Through Quaker City
Eleven.

Naval Gun Factory stock of tra1e
for the District independent cham
pionship took big boost yesterday
when the "Gunners'' walked rough
shod over the crack Ewing Athletic
Club eleven, of Philadelphia by q
1s-to-0 count. The Gunners' consist
ent line attacks coupled with short
gains on end runs paved the way for
their trio of touchdowns.
Shortly after the opening whistle
the Navy Yard eleven started a parade
up the field that placed the ball be-
hind the final chalk mark, when Car
roll broke of takle for the touch
down. Regardless of the fact that
Moore, fullback of the visitors, easily
outpunted Snow OF the winners,
throughout the battle. the Navy YaId
warriors offered a defense that held
the visitors to four first downs, while
the Gunners were running up four
teen.
Byers and Mcbride featured with
skirts of ends, Byers getting away
for thirty-yard run in the third Pc
riod which resulted in a touchdown,
while the line-plunging of Snow and
Carroll were also noteworthy.
Moore and Fallen, of the Quaker
City team. gave one of the greatest
defensive exhibitions ever witnessed
on the Recreation Field. as they were
responsible for stopping most of the
Gunners' rushes and held the lime
light during the entire battle. Both
clubs gave poor exhibitions of the
aerial system. as Navy Yard COM
pleted two of eleven attempts, while
Ewing completed three of thirteen
heaves. The lineup and summary:
