Variety's Golden Days

Sir: Speaking of by-gone vaudeville. I
always wished they would cut out every
thing on the programmes except the mono
logue artists, comedy teams, sketches, and
an occasional song. There were lots of
good acts that had to sit through to hear
James j. Morton, whom, with his monotone
monologue, | thought the funniest man on
the stage There was Latina, the lady
contortonist; the Musical Cuttys; the Girl
with the Auburn Hair; Japanese jugglers
and acrobats WHO now and then would give
sharp commands to one another in a high
keyed voice. But l was repaid when Ward
and Curran or Ward and Vokes came on
with their act where they sprang "Those
mot "them"l were the happy days"
EARNEST GUY.
1t was neither Ward and Curran nor
Ward and Vokes who pulled "Those were
the happy days" 1t was Howard and
North, with sketch about Wellington,
Kansas, and it is comparatively recent

Mature deliberation on the various current
revues makes us think of the man Martin
Egan tells about, who at banquet yelled
to the speechmaker, Louder and funnier."

come through in time and in good
shape. Why mott We have never
failed; and in our time we have tackled
some tough tasks. We have ridden ont
several great panies, and for four years
stood the shock Of civil war.
The legislators should be much bene-
flied. They are called upon to solve
many problems; and very great deal
depends on the solutions. Unwise &C.
tion as to either, capital or labor; any
distinct turning toward state social
ism; any heartening Of those who have
revolution in mind or purpose, might
very greatly complicate complication.
This is not the time to do. or at
tempt, anything in a corner. Now
that the doors are open and the lights
turned on, let US have the fullest in
formation obtainable about the rail
roads. the proposition for establishing
a merchant marine, about tariff re-
vision, about strikes and lockouts and
every feature of the difficulties that
too often mark clashes between capi-
tai and labor and infiict hardship on
the public.

The Realty Owners Position.

Conferees of the House and Senate
are now considering the so-called Ball
amendment to the food control legis-
lation which provides for a rentals
commission for the District of Colum-
bia, to prevent profteering in housing
here. Under the rules of conference
no hearings can be secured by repre-
sentatives Of the interests directly in
volved, one of which regards the pro-
posed leg station as needlessly restric-
tive Of property rights and as menac-
ing condition of insufficient housing
facilities in this District even worse
than that now existing. In another
part of The Star today is printed an
expression of the views of one of the
largest owners Of rental property in
Washington regarding the terms and
probable effect Of the legislation as
now framed. Mr.. Warren's recon-
mendations Of changes in the amend
ment have been adopted by joint
committee Of representatives of the
four leading civic organizations. His
vigorous expression of the case of the
District realty owner should be taken
into thoughtful consideration by the
members of the conference who are to
shape the legislation that will affect
half a million people and an immense
property value

Adelina Patti.

Nearly sixty years ago slip Of q
girl stood on the stage at Castle Gar
den, N. Y. transformed into concert
hall, and sang. She had been heralded
as a prodigy from Spain, and the audi.
ence, Injured to fulsome advance praises
Of applicants for public honor, awaited
the result in doubt. In few minutes
all doubts were swept away in a tor
rent of enthusiastic approval. Adelina
Patti had made her debut with instant
success. From that time on for many
years she was the idol of the public.
She was pronounced and probably was
during the remarkably long time of
her regular concert work the foremost
woman singer in the world. Now she
is dead, news of her death at her home
in Wales having just come to hand.
She had reached the age Of seventy six.
Not many Of the present generation
had the privilege of hearing Adelina
Patti, but all who were so favored will
forever remember the wonderful quail
ity Of her voice, its purity Of tone, its
! marvellous range of fexibility, the
spirit which it expressed, the gracious
presence of the singer, the magnetic
quality Of her performance. No other
concert singer has ever held sway for
50 long and SO firmly. Patti made per-
kaps q mistake in continuing to sing
after the glory of her voice had be-
gun to pass. Her so.called farewell
tours became somewhat Of a jest. But
it can be understood how strong is tho

The British Railway Strike.

With countrywide strike of rail
road men, Great Britain is much more
seriously hit by labor troubles than
the United States with its general
steel strike. The British railway strike
affects. it is estimated, 600 900 men, or
more than half again as many as those
now idle in the great tie-up of the
steel industry.
This British railway strike has been
threatened for some time-indeed, ever
since the close of hostilities. During
the armistice period efforts have been
made by the government to estab-
lish wage scales upon postwar basis,
looking to some reduction. A move
ment for naturalization has at the
same time been in progress among the
workers themselves. A large number
CT conservative workingmen have stood
between, seeking to prevent general
strike. Now the more radical element
has gained control and the strike has
been called in circumstances possibly
to lead to further industrial disturb
ances.
One Of the first effects of the strike
is to check rehabilitation. Troops
still under arms are to be held with
the obvious purpose Of preparing
against general disorder. The strike
is not in its present stage Of revo-
lutionary character, yet there is un-
doubtedly large element in the ranks
Of the British workingmen strongly
tinged with bolshevism British states
men have not concealed their anxiety
respecting the possibilities of . rad
ical development following the war.
A general railroad strike in Great
Britain need not lead to grave results
In itself through the stoppage Of trans.
poftation, for the distances are com
paratively so short that motor trans
port of necessities is feasible. The
real danger lies in strikes in sympathy,
such as on the part Of the doclmen.
A strike affecting the handling Of
goods brought into England by sea,
which is, indeed, the only means of
ingress. would soon sravely curtail
supplies. Some years ago such strike
occurred. and it quickly brought about
condition Of acute public suffering.
A settlement was speedily effected as
. matter Of national necessity. The
railroad strike may be allowed to pro-
ceed through more definite decision in
view of the possibility Of maintaining
the country without the usual means
Of transportation.
