Greet Nora BayeS
Wlth an OUatiOn

| Nora Bayes' return to Washington
vaudeville was signalized last night
at the Shubert- -Belasco by an ova-
ton that is rarely seen In a Wash
ington theater. She was forced to
sing more than her usual number
Of songs and after she had exhausted
her repertoire, she was compelled
to make a speech before the audience
would let her go.
Miss Bayes, who has recently re-
turned from England, was as fresh
and vivacious as ever and her songs,
with the exception Of some OF the
old ones which the audience COM
PEELED her to sing as an encore,
were brand new to Washington.
Walter Brewer. with his clever
monologue, wa easily the second
best on the bill and his stories Of
getting married kept the house in an
uproar. Francis Renault, in fe-
male revue, was clever and his gowns
were creations that are seldom ex-
ceeded by the women of the stage.
His impersonation OF Geraldine
Farrar in Carmen" and Ruth st.
Denis in Madame Butterfly" were
about the best bits of impe-sonation
seen in some time. !

the stage, Ryan and Lee, have an
act that is to be commended to any
one in quest of pure fun and witty

headliner If they had scenery which
would give their turn a little more
local color.
Felix Bernard. the composer Of
"Dardanella," assisted by Sid Townes.

pianologue turn that has become so
popular in vaudeville during recent
years. They have a few new songs
which they put over in good style.

serves to introduce Libby to good ad

of Frisco, George Stone9 and Pat

For the opening turn the Kremka
Brothers presented an athletic turn
that was as good as any seen here
in some time, while the closing feature
on the bill was Selma Bratz, the lady
juggler. Roy Harrah and Irene Rubini
entertained with dancing and musi-
cal speciality.

COTTON INDUSTRY
CHIEF MATTER DISCUSSED Al
THE OPENING SESSION OF
AMERICAN COTTON MEN.
CROP SHORTEST IN rs YEARS
figures Presented Show That the Re-
duction in Acreage This Year is
Between 80 and IS Per Cent.

New York-Ways and means of re-
habilitating the cotton industry and
putting it on a pre-war basis were dis
cussed at the opening Of a national
consultation of American cotton grow
ers, manufacturers and affiliated in
terests.
Leading cotton growers and govern
ment officials warned that the country
faced the shortest cotton crop in the
last rs years and that, unless imme-
diate steps were taken to create a
market and restore the staple to
profitable price, a greater shortage
would result in the next few years.
Figures presented by the various
speakers showed that the reduction
in cotton acreage this year ranged
from 80 to IS per cent, due to the
acreage reduction campaign of the
American Cotton association, the boil
weevil and weather conditions.
