The Districts Choice.

q In his selection Of Cuno II. Rudolph
and James +. Oyster as District Com
missioners. President Harding has
not only distinctly observed the prin-
4oiple of home rule in the spirit as well
as the letter, but has chosen two men
who, If the matter were submitted to
vote. would most likely have been
named by the people of Washington.
Each of the two newly appointed Com
,missioners has heretofore received
clear evidences of enjoying public ap-
proval.
The civic associations Of Washing
ton are its only fields Of public in
dorsement of members Of the COM
,,mpnity. In the choice Of their officers
and. directors these bodies exercise a
sort of suffrage which, while not a
satisfactory substitute for the reality,
at least serves as a measure Of popu-
larity and approval of individuals.
Ip this test-the only one apparent
ly that can now be applied-both Mr..
R0dolph and Capt. Oyster have DEM
,opStrated the enjoyment of marked
and continuous degree of public favor
and confidence.
Mr.. Rudolph, after serving for a
considerable period as a director of
the Board Of Trade. was elected its
president and would have been imme-
di4tely rechosen for that position but
successive terms as director. But later
he was again selected for the presi-
dspoy Of the board and served thus a
second term. a mark of especial honor
and recognition Of his ability as an
administrator. In various other as
soctations, intimately connected with
The public welfare. he has been sum-
moned to service in responsible posi-
ttons, such as president Of the Wash
dnGton Clearing House and president
Of the Associated Charities.
= Capt. Oyster has been elected sue
cessively president of the Business
MEMS Association. the Chamber of
Commerce and the Board Of Trade.
In other capacities he has been the
recipient Of responsible honors-as
prssident Of the beard of education. as
. member Of the Federal Reserve
Board Of this district and as rent com.
mifzener.
y Thus Washington feels as though
itf voice had been heard in the seiec-
lion OF the two Commissioners. The
chief executive in reaching q cenclu-
sion could not have been more &C.
eurately guided to public preference
mad the names Of possible Commission
era lbeen subaitted to a referendum
v0tto The records Of the two men who
were chosen were plain evidence that
they were held in high esteem and
.sSSe'given the full confidence of their
fe1Aw Washingtonians, and that the
people were willing to intrust to them
the business Of administering local
affairs. If President Harding con.
ttn1es in his selection of local officials
To- demonstrate the same sympathetic
recognition Of wholesome local public
sehtfment he will prove a most help
full and considerate ex ohlcio governor
and mayor Of the capital municipality.

"MAMMA'S AFFAIR" AT

A striking instance of a producer's
zeal to give screen production not
only elaborateness of scope, but play
ers in the leading roles, who were
long identified with the stage career
of the piece, is demonstrated by Jo-
seph M. Schenck in Constance Tai
madge's starring vehicle, Mammals

theater. @@ BE- E:'1-
This piece, which has been adapted
for tbs screen by Anita Loos and
John Emerson, from Rachel Barton
Buffers well-known stage .produc-
tion of the same name, was directed
by Victor Fleming. When choosing
his players, Mr.. Flemming persuaded
Effie Shannon, Katherine KadEed
and George LeGuere, who appeared in
the stage version to journey to New
York in order to be seen in their or
iginal roles in the screen production.
