Why not get together and form an
automobile salesmen's club or associa-
ton in the District? Other cities
boast of such. and there is no appar-
ent reason why Washington should
not have one The writer hereby
nominates Messrs. Nicholson. of the
Nash car. and Edgerton. of the Over
land, to start the ball rolling.

Some philosopher recently stated
that an automobile is not essential 10
happiness. but how many people of
this present day will vouch as to the
validity of this statement? Tho pres

you haven't a buss you're out of
luck"

IRENE FRANKLIN-OFF STAGE
Ascribes Much Of Her Success to
Husbands Co.operation

Irene Franklin and Burton Green, two
of the featured players in The Passing
Show of 1913" coming to the Chestnut
Street Opera House for, return en-
gagement Of two weeks on Monday eve
ming, are self-made, self-educated peo-
pie. When they were married Miss
Franklin was getting s25 per week and
playing music halls and amusement
parks to take care Of herself and her
young sister, left to her care by the
death Of both father and mother soon
after the baby's birth. Mr. Green was
soliciting advertising when he became
interested in the young singer whose
songs were being ruined by the pianist
who was playing the Accomplishments.
He already had a following at Tony
Pastors for spirited playing by his
cleverness In building up accompani-
ments that brought out the points for
the actor on the stage, whether the ac-
compartment was to a song or an aero
battle act.
1t was Mr.. Green who insisted that
his wife write the words of "Redhead"
after several composers had told her her
idea for a song based on her own child
hood experiences with the hated nick
name could not be developed into any
thing that would go.

"AMERICAN' DEBUT HERE
Marie Reichard Had Been Fa-
vorite on German-Speaking Stage

MY real American debut was made
right here in Philadelphia" says Marie
Reichard at the Lyric. Yes, that was
my real debut on the English-speaking
stage.
II had been playing various roles at
the Irving Place Theatre in New York,
where the late Heinrich Conried pro-
duced German drama before he be-
came manager OF the Metropolitan
Opera. Mr. Belasco saw me there and
said he had just the part for me in a
new play he was producing for David
Warfield.
1T turned out to be The Return of
Peter Grimm and the acceptance of
that engagement was the turning point
in my career. We opened in this city,
intending TO stay only few weeks, but
we really stayed for more than two
months, so that you can depend upon IL
that | have very agreeable recollections
Of Philadelphia,
But 1t has so happened that affairs
have kept me away until now. Most of
the plays in which l have since appeared
had long runs in New York, and, be-
sides, / had picture work to attend TO.
ANYHOW, here I am again, and | am
glad to understand that We shall be in
Philadelphia for a long time" Like the
Hrs. Pfeifer. whom she impersonates in
Friendly Enemies" Miss Reichard is
suffering from no delusions regarding
German rule. She knows well, she de-
clares. that the Germans will be better
off without It. She has two nephews in
the service in France

Jesse Williams's Other Play

Jesse Lynch Williams. author OF
why Marry?" is a graduate Of Prince
ton. Before he became known as a
novelist he gained a circle of readers
by his short stories of life In Princeton
and his newspaper stories. The impress
sion has been current that the comedy
about matrimony at the Adelphi is Mr..
Williams's first play, but the author
now corrects that error This is my
second play" said Mr.. Williams. Many
years ago wrote a short story about n
reporter called The stolen Story As
a short story, and in several other forms,
1t was successful, but unfortunately 1t
failed when produced as a play In New
York. think It only ran a week or
two. That story had a very interesting
career. Although 1t failed on the stage.
It was n success as a short story. as the
name-story in a book of newspaper
yarns, as a novelette, published in n mag.
azine, as a full-fedged novel and as a
moving picture"
