GAIL KANE'S DOG DOES
NOT LIKE IT'S NAME

: Few actresses have made such rapid
strides in their profession as Gail
+ -ane, who plays one of the prinCl-
pal roles in Avery Hopwood's new
comedy from the French, "The Great
Illusion" at the Shubcrt-G&:ri2k next
week. Though her professional eX-
perience covers scarce moIe than q
half dozen years, she has several
Broadway successes to he. credit and
has also won Dopularity as 4 "movie
star"
Miss Kane is not only regarded as
among the stage beauties OF on
day. but is also universally consid-
cred las one OF the best dressed
women on the stage. Her splendid
personal appearance is undoubtedly
largely due to her fondness for out
door life.
She is very fond OF animals, es-
pecially dogs. She owns three
poodles of famous pedigree who re-
joice in the names of "Beans."
Chicken and "Ham." That is the
two first named dogs rejoice. Ham
appears to have a chronic crouch
and hates the very thought OF the
theater. 1t is stated on very credi-
BILE authority, that when his beautiful
mistress calls him by his name Ham
he tries to bite her.

OF FRANK FlVNEY

Golf on ice is Frank Finney's hobby
its his own creation. in fact--and
he is going to perpetrate it on Wash
ington in visits at the Tidal Basin II
the ice holds out this week.
The genial comedian with Charles
II. Waldron's show, at the Gayety
Theater this week, confided today tina,
he is looking for followers to sup
port his contention that golf is golf
the year round and can be enjoyed on
the ice in winter as well as on turf in
summer.
Finney has already created a repu-
tation in Washington as a shark with
the sticks, and on his annual visits to
the Capital, which usually come a
little later in the year, the comic star
always plans to arrange few golf
payties in his own particular honor.
But golf on ice Finney enjoyed this
year for the first time when the show
was in New York.
