HARDING HIGH .
IN STRAW VOTE
6S4,70l to 458,35l Rep
resented by Returns in
Rexall Drug Stores.

Out of a total of 1,141,O52 ballots
cast in the straw vote in the Rexall
Stores up to Friday at p. m, Sena-
tor Harding is leading with 6s4, ,7O1
ballots with 45G,351 for Gov. Cox.
This total shows only slight changes
in the relative standing of the can
dfdates.
To date, 292,555 women have voted
in the Rexall poll. while the male
vote stands at S4S,497. This wide
numerical difference between the
male and female vote, in a measure
can be explained by the hesitancy of
the women of the South to register
and take advantage of the privilege
granted through the Eighteenth
Amendment. The female vote in the
South, as the Rexall poll shows, has
not kept pace with that of their
Northern and Western sisters, where
the proportion is much larger.
Senator Harding is enjoying a
2-to-1 ratio lead over Gov. Cox in
the straw balloting which Is being
conducted at the Columbia School
of Drafting. The total for Harding
was 315, for Cox, 147. Roy c, Claf-
lin, president of the school, said that
the students participating in the
straw vote came from practically all
sections of the city.

Gayety-"FIashIiEhts of 1927

With an entertainment far from
the beaten path of the usual bur
lesque production, "FlashlIghts of
1920" came to the Gayety Thester
for a weeks engagement yester-
day.
Opening with a prologue, The
Trial of Burlesque," it proceeds to
offer a series of burlettas in which
novelty is always paramount. These
include "Showland." in a peep be-
Office" "A Visit to the Doctor" "A
Shop" "On the Nile" and closing
with THE Land of Geisha Girls. "
Each has oeen written along le-
gitimate lines and all are rich with
comedy situations, witty hits on
the foibles of the day and so con-
structed that every member of the
company is given the opportunity
of his or her talents to exceptional
advantage.
Chief among the entertainers are
Rich shorty" McAllister and Harry
T. Shannon, long favorites in the
realm of burlssque. Important
members of the Supporting cast are

BAGDAD MOVED
HEREFOR NIGHT
Cay Masqueraders Throng
Downtown Section to
Greet Halloween.

Washington's own Bagdad on the
Avenue turned itself inside out last
highland stayed out until early
yesterday.
Halloween was handed a long and
noisy welcome and finally a linger-
ing come again farewell. The even
ing unofficially marked the first local
meeting of the league of nations
and the lineup of delegates satisfied
the supposition of a good many peo-
pie of the collection such a meeting
might draw.
The three main streets of the viii
lage, night lightly speaking-Penn-
sylvania Avenue, Ninth and + streets
Offered a glimpse at the. peoples OF
most of the lands in the geography,
new edition. and a half dozen varie-
ties that must have motored over
from Mars. At least the strange
costumes, whiskers, lids, wells, and
cuckoo style countenances presented
the Eeneral idea that the w.k. "aver-
age man on the street was at least
getting closeup of the folks
ESPECIALLY discovered during the war
for making the treaty something
hard to read.
There were scatterings of Czecho-
Slovaks, Let's, Rheumatics, Ca
tarrhs, Catsups-all those throat
splitters. And they were all dolled
up for their hometown war dances
like bartenders on a slack Sunday.
If any of Sir oliver Lodges
friends had an idea of giving the
City of Circles a visit they took the
hint to depart when thew saw what
Mother Earth was parading along
her Mazda-brilliant top deck. There
were no spirits or ghosts reported at
police headquarters.
But the embotled genii Bootleg"
must have been on the job, for Gus
tard pie never sent a man down
Ninth street on a "high-wheeler,"
and a man actually rode down Ninth
on one of those things with a big
wheel in front and a little wheel
behind. Police headquarters batted
its eyes at fun within reason" and
put cotton in its ears against the
nights noises. Such as The Curse
of an Aching Heart" vocally killed,
without music.
Hundreds of up-towners motored
the roaring avenue in their swift
makes and make shifts to give the
kids time to blow off before going
home to hale and hardy cider and
doughnuts. Movies were crowded
with masqueraders, the hotels cele-
brated with dinner dances. and the
night lunches poured out their bat
ter hearts on the griddles to feed
the village cut-ups toward the end
of the one long Arabian Night.

Moore's RinIto-sThe Branded
Woman


The much mooted question of the
advisabilIty of acquainting ones
matrimonial partner with family
skeletons is the basis of the most
recent Norma TalmadEe production.
and incidentally an excellent one,
The Branded Woman" an adoption
of the play, Branded" by Oliver

continue throughout the week.

er's notorious past, fearing to risk
his love and protection. The newt
able coming of the knowledge to
him in the midst of their happiness
and his success in later years
threatens their home and his careet
The moral lesson is made forceful
with the skill and strength of the
cast and play. Both are worthy of
great praise. At no time is ii easy
to guess the outcome of events.
Miss Talmadge wears many stun
ming gowns of the latest vogue that
undoubtedly appealed to the femi-
nine patronage present. She re-

There is something fresh and dis
tinctively individual in the work of
Parcy Marmont who as Douglas
Courteney, plays the leading male
role. He is of the more rugged and
true manly type than many of them
seen on the screen in similar parts
and is therefore most satisfying
, George Fawcett supplies an unusu-
ally good characterization of = the
old judge. CASTOR Glass smiles his
way through the part of William
Bolton as appealingly as he played
the leading male role in 'Humor-

best.

laughable multiple reel Christie

Loew's Palace-May Allison in "Arc
All Men AIikes-

AS the screen attraction of ex-
traordinary Importance at Loew's
Palace Theater for this week be-
ginning yesterday afternoon the
premiere Washington showing of
Are All Men Alike?' starring May
Allison dominates a program of
brilliant entertainment charm and
commanding photoplay and musi-
cal novelty.
Are All Men Alike?' which
forms the very newest Earring,
production for Miss Allison, was
prest nted in Washington yesterday
for the first time on any screen.
OF sterling dramatic values and
backed by the experience of a
writer like Arthur Stringer, a di-
rector like Philip f. Rosen and a
producing corps of experts in every
department of it's construction,
Are All Men Alike?" is one of the
most captivating photoplay features
shown in Washington this season.
AS suggested by it's title, Are
All Men Alike?" is an engrossing
and fascinating romantic study of
that same eternal question and in
this production, which was based
on Arthur Stringers famous Nc
Clure's Magazine story. The Waf-
fie Iron" Miss Allison demonstrates
that there is not just one type of
man but many kinds in this little
old world of ours.
Miss Allison appears as Teddy
Hayden, headstrong little heiress
of metropolitan social set who
tunes her life to the measure of
excitement and exhausts in rapid
succession the thrills of motor
racing, airplaning and the fascinat-
ing pleasures of the social whirl.
In her search for freedom of ex-
preston. Teddy" finds them all
dull and then she turns to Bohe-
milan life in Greenwich Village. In
that environment Miss Allison an
swers the question of the title very
definitely.
The cast includes Wallace Mac
Donald, John Elliott, Winifred
Greenwood. Emanuel Turner, Ruth
Stonehouse, Lester Cuneo and 9TH
ers. Snub Pollard's latest comedy
hit, when the Wind Blows" an
exquisite scenic subject; Pathe
News pictures, Topical Tips" and
a brilliant overture complete the
program
