Brings Us Broad way.

The cynosure of the principal eyes
or Broadway's theatrical fraternity
will be focused on Washington this
week This happens because Of the
extraordinary activities that George
M. Conan will handle with this city
as headquarters,
First OF all. George NJ. will have a
premiere of the first musical play
/ he has produced since becoming an
independent producer. at the National
Theater tomorrow night. The play

directors, conclusively proves every
thing will be OF high brand.
Just to prove that two things can
be done at the one and same time,
Cohan is having the cast for his sue
cessful comedy. Genius and the
Crowd" report to him here tomorrow
Tor a weeks rehearsal. This Is the
comedy which was written by two
Philadelphia newspapermen. John T.
Mcintyre and Francis Hill. Something
allied the whole play until George NJ.
did the characteristic thing Of step
ping in and contributing the famed
Cohan punch. Not having time to doc
tor the first act because of other
= duties last week, Cohan is bringing
the unusual cast Of forty-six people
for a comedy to Washington
Place the cast for The House That
Jack Built" with the cast for Genius

stenographers, business STATS. and
the usual array Of milliners, dressers.
etc. who always are on hand for a

there will be an exclusive colony OF
Cohan's hired help in Washington for
the week.
That charming daughter Of George
N s. Cieorgetts Cohan-will also be
here. She will accompany her Illus
tIious daddy. Gcorgette recently ar
rivevd from London where she scored
triumph on the London stage by
assuming the role of Peter in Hon.

John Barry Discusses
His Varied Career.

John Barry, one of the best known
eccentric comedians on the burlesdue
stage is at the Gaycty Theater this
week in one of the best shows seen
this year, and; discussing his varied
career, says:
You know l was born on show
boat on the Mississippi river and as
all of my family are on the stage.
] Just naturally followed in their
footsteps. l remember years ago
when was little tot my father
played here under the team name OF
Barry and Madden. l later played
here myself in the old theater down
by the market. Yes, / have been in
vaudeville with Jimmy Barton. we
were known rs Barton and Barry.
But speaking of partners, ! now
have the best of them all in George
Douglas. Next year we arc going to
put on the stage for the first time
Uerrman's great cartoon characters.
Baron Bean and Grimes. We both
have been tempted with wonderful
offer to create these characters on
The screen. but both Mr.. Douglas and
myself think we owe too much TO
burlesquc to leave II just now, for,
after all, burlesaue really made us
what we are"
Douglas and Barry arc getting more
money than any other team Of two
people in buri.sque today. and one
has but to see them perform to real
ize the reason.

Prepared 90 SNAKE Good
Therefore. in answer to the sew
eral scientists who have questioned
me | can only say that | am prepared
TO carry out my part OF the agree
ment should the stipuIations be full
nlled and should scientists summon
me.
AIany persons have desired to know
whether or not | have corresponded
with Prof. Robert IL. Goddard, the
Clark College scientist. who has in
vented the superrocket. which the
smithsonian Institution declares can
be shot TO the moon and which others
believe may be able to reach Mars,
carrying within II human being. l
have not.
II, when this rocket is tested. II
lands on the moon or on Mars and
communication is established with
the planet. IL will be up To me to live
up TO my word.
The rocket which Prof. Goddard
has perfected, | understand, Ia con-
structed on the theory OF the toy
rockets with which every boy Is ac-
quainted. However, IL Is so arranged
that the gases caused by the exp'o-
sive mixture within would escape
through a nozzle at the bottom. at
the rate OF 5000 feet per second. The
rocket would contain a series OF ex-
plosive charges.
"To carry the rocket to the moon
at least ,1.2Ti pounds Of explosives are
needed. The Smithsonian Institution =
Bulletin points 10 the possibility OF
hlling the nose Of one OF these rock
cts with charge of brilliant fash
powder and a percussian cap. so that
when il struck We should be able TO
see the fash.
"Nothing Impossible"
To my mind nothing is impossible.
BY this | do not mean that ] believe
rocket can be shot to Mars, but
cannot say it is impossible.
II have been forced to consider
what might prove the outstanding
feaures of such a leap. Speeding at
400 miles an hour through space
could hardly be comfortable. AS 1t
would take some days to make the
trip to Mars. it would be necessary
to eat and to sleep. One must also
have oxygen TO breathe, as II seems
assured that "A complete vacuum eN-
lists beyond the limits OF the earth
atmosphere.
What sort of material could be
without burning up or flying to bits?
Another thing is the possibility OF
the bump upon landing on Mars.
This is something to think about.
But scientists assure me arrange
ments would be made to stop the
light OF the rocket by control levers.
In actual tests Professor Goddard
declares the rocket he IL making has
made a maximum speed OF one and
one-half miles per second.
HE has discovered. through eX-
pc rimentation. that, contrary to the
general opinion, the action OF escsp-
ing gases would prove more effective
In the vacuum existing beyoal the
limits OF the gocoronhim Of the earth
than within the air composing that
atmospheric blanket This, he says,
would mean even greater speed.
and with no air to cause friction the
possibility of the metal being melted
away would no doubt be eliminated.
"It has been suggested that fms be
placed at the forward end. or nose,
of such a projectile and valve a.
ranged to cut off tn" passage OF the
escaping gases, so that the speed OF
the rocket might be decreased and
possibly a safe landing made, with
parachutes or other means
