Rumor from the West.


A report from the west coast that
Mae Marsh plans a visit to New
York about the first of March sug-
gests a number of interesting con-
lectures as to the small stars &C
tivities for the next year or so in
the motion picture field.
1t is known that Miss Marsh's
contract with Goldwyn expired
about the first of February, and per-
sistent rumors as to her next con-
tract offer no very definite notion
as to her plans, especially as she
denies most emphatically that she
is to tie up with Famous Players
Lasky.
Miss Marsh made the first picture
released by the Goldwyn corpora
ton. 1t was Polly of the Circus"
in which the Talliaferro sisters
achieved a stage success a few sea-
sons previously. Later she was
starred in Sunshine Alley" THE
Cinderella Man." and Fields of
Honor" and others for the same

Slang Phrases for
"Aye, Aye, Sir" Are
Doomed for Seamen

Chicago-The death kneu has
been sounded to "Uh-huh, ;"
''Right-O," and other like substi-
tutes for AYE, Aye, Sir" in the
navy, according to the Great Lakes
Bulletin, official paper of the Great
Lakes Naval Training station.
In these days of turmoil in the
navy, when sailors wear tortoise
shell glasses and wrist watches and
second-class seamen chum with ad-
mirals, isn't it remarkable to learn
that there is one thing belonging to
the real old stuff that some one has
the courage to defend?
Admiral MCGOWAN, paymaster
general of the navy" continues the
Bulletin, has come out flat-foot-
eddy for the preservation of the re-
Spouse, Aye, Aye So much has he
been alarmed for fear less it pass
out altogether in favor of in a min
Ute or some disparity, that he had
felt compelled to issue a general or
der to this effect:
For young officers-others pre-
sumably not needing it. On sew
eral recent occasions it has come
to my knowledge that the time
honored navy response, Aye, aye,
SIR has to a certain extent fallen
into disuse, whereas the bush term
all right seems to be decidedly on
the increase in spots.
q pUrposely refrain from any
special reference to the oral i'm
possibility 'Uh-huh,' because this
cross between a groan and a growl
is. of course, quite without the
bounds of temperate discussion.
'To the end that there may be no
misunderstanding hereafter as to
the proper manner in which a jun
Tor in the naval service officially
replies to a senior, l shall try to
tabulate the same as intelligently
as possible:
la All right is wholly inter
dicted.
"Cb) No, sir is to be used spar
ingly.
"(c) Yes, sir more frequently.
"(d) Aye, aye, sir as often as
possible and invariably when the
seniors wishes have become known.
1.-THE foregoing remarks and in
functions are commended to the
consideration of all con-
cerned, the same as a notice to quit
