POLITICS FUTURE WORK
FOR WOMAN, She THINKS
Miss Dorothy Douglas, at Gsyety

of Fair Ones.

Politics the future science for wom-
EN- This was the hope and prediction
, expressed today by Miss Dorothy
Douglas. talented and pretty star OF
the Liberty Girls" this weeks at
traction at the Gsyety Thester. Miss
Douglas is a member Of the New York
branch OF the National woman's
party. an officer OF the womsn's Po-
liticsl Association OF Greater New
York. and a dyed-in- -the-wool suffrs-
gist. whose ardor for the forensic bat
ties is not In the least bit dimmed,
now that she really has the vote.
-Four weeks ago In Brooklyn, Just
before Miss Douglas cast her lot with
Jack Conway's burlesaue attraction.
she held a mass meeting OF women
voters In her Brooklyn ward and de-
vised ways and means to turn the bal
lot into an effective weapon to secure
better schools, cleaner politics and
pure-milk laws TO protect children.
Miss Douglas held ono political ap-
pointment under Mayor HylAn and
stumped the ticket In Brooklyn and
Manhattan when Alfred Smith was
running for governor. She Is the
least bit reKretful that the show busi-
ness has again claimed her from the
political game. but she avows IL will
| not be long before she is In the thick
of the feminist movement in New
York once more,
| ~ believe women ought to organize
into one great party" she said. ''un-
mindful OF the two parties that now
exist Party lines have ceased 70
i count for much because they were
drawn half a century ago. when con-
ditions in business and the home were
| not what they are today.
The women ought to confederate
for better laws and more stringent
regulations covering State and city
as well as municipal elections. In
New York their test' of political
strength has already been shown
The Hearst papers have led the way
for them. and already park and play
grounds have been added to the city's
lists, improvements which would
never have been realized without the
ballot"
Miss Douglas starred in High
links" during it's first tour of the
country, and later played In vaude-
willie. This fs her FIRST burlesque ex-
perience, but her versatile charm and
voice have combined to already make
her one of the most popular stars on
the Columbia circuit.

SHUBERT- -BELASCO-
"As You Were"

To the Shubert-Belasco Theater
next week, opening Monday night.
comes Sam Bernard and Irene Bordoni
as co-stars in T.. Ray Goetz's internA-
tional musical success, "As You
Were" play that found unsual IA
vor In New York, last season after
setting Paris and London all agog for
over a year. Its birthplace was
Paris, the city whence, II used to be
said before the war, dull care had
been driven and Mother Grundy held
no sway. But be that as II may, IT Is
a fact that the French have always
had a delightful way about them In
their comedies.
or course, "As You Were has
doubtless undergone many alterations
in the adaptation for London. and
later America. but the basic idea still
remains. so goes the story, and Glen
MacDonough, who did il over for
this side of the water, Is the ac-
nowledged peer in this country for
this sort Of entertainment.
Herman Darewski wrote the music
originally, and Arthur Wimperin the
lyrics, but Mr.. Goetz, the producer, Is
responsible for many interpretations.

TOO MUCH THRIFT.

There are times when it is n positive,
housewifely virtue To throw away food
or to give il To a hurgry cat or tiog u you
cannot bear the thought of actually throw
irg away anything edible. This sounds
like rank hercsy and, since the food THRIFT
campaign carried on during the war, IT
seems almost like an act of dIsployalty
and manifestation of n lack of patriotism
to suggest that food might ever be thrown
away.
Recently n housewife was heard to
boast of the fact that she had not thrown
away an ounce of food during the entire
summer. Shc never felt concerned when
food was left from ore meal, for she
always made use of it at the next She
Sc we'd it until IL was consumed. 1t there
were steamed frankfurters for dinner ore
night she steamed them again for lunch
the next day and If they were not all
eaten for lunch she chopped them up
and put them in an omclettc for break
fast or made them into a soup for lunch
con. Eventually thoy were eaten. though
the chances are that the members OF the
family thus treated to the left over frank
furters eventually ate them out of self
defense
The best sort of thrift would havo been
to estimate rather carefully to how many
frankflIrters to purchase nj the outset.
There is better economy IN buying what
YOU want than in buying always too much
and using the surplus III left overs. Once,
however, too much food has been pre-
pared il is sheer wastcfulness to spoil good
food by mixing it with tho remnants that
will not be palatablc to those who must
eat them And Just because what You
offer is eaten, Is not always proof that 1t
Is good, or that yorl have made a wise
selection. A hungry family often eats food
that does not tempt appetite, SIMPLY IT
must eat something.
