Sparks. comedian. playing at the
moment with Willard Mack In Smooth
as SILK" who to-day celebrates his
golden jubilee.
Unlike many of the entertainers men
toned, who began their respective
careers in legitimate roles. Mr. Sparks
had to battle with vicissitudes In which
the career OF variety performers ran ir
the early days of American playhouses
and music halls. Sparks started all
right as a clog and song performer witn
W. S. Washburne, a manager who ap-
prenticed promising young men In aero
battles and dancing. paying them SIS a
week and living expenses. The school
was severe one and the company was
not always Of the best.
Sparks did not relish his life as an
apprentice and after the first year,
1871, he found work as a song and
Bowery restaurant. He migrated at in
tervals from Chatham square to Grand
dance entertainer and waiter in a
street, playing his longest engagement
in the place of Owney Geoghcgan at 100
Bowery. Sparks finally emerged on the
boards of such variety theatres as the
olyfnplt tid @ Ildll in1-
atre Comique, and in 1876 says he made
his first tour OF the country In an irish
sketch presented by himself. A short
time afterward Sparks Joined the COM
pany of Harrigan & Hart. with which
popular organization he remained for
many years.
In 1884 Ed Harrigan parted company
with Tony Hart, the latter dying In
Worcester. Mass. After the dissolution
or partnership Harrigan recngaged Mr.
Sparks. and he remained with Harrigau
until 1890. closing at the Boston
Museum. Sparks Immediately joined
Peter r. Daley and Miss May Irwin,
opening In The Country sport and
, playing with that company for seven
years. which Mr.. Sparks admits were
the happiest of his life 4 long season
al the Rijou Theatre and continuous en-
gagements in comedy companies bring
the career of this popular comedian UP
TO date.

Golden haired Miss Alice Terry just
dropped into" the movies. With only
a few months as an extra girl she was
cast In the chief feminine lead of THE
-Four Horsenen OF the Apocalypse" the
Rex Ingram production for Metro, now

This eighteen-year-old high school girl,
whose beauty and grace stand out In
this picture version of the famous novel
of Vicente Blasco Ibanez. actually saun-
tered into the movies and found place

she went on q visit TO the Hollywood

lated with the camera germ.
In her little native town OF Vincennes,
Ind.--she Is a real alice Of Old Vim
cennes'-her early girlhood was spent IN
acquiring those arts which one can easily
picture as being the premier aualifica-
tons for gently nurtured young
woman. Then five years ago she went
to Los Angeles with her parents and
continued her schooling with no thought
OF the fact that she was resident OF the
capital OF the film world.
But one day SHE accepted the invita-
ton of one or her girl friends to 60 with
her to the studios where the girl friend
was an extra" Her friend tried TO
inlpart some Of her own enthusiasm by
telling the Indiana beauty that she might
be an extra before the camera, but
Alice felt no thrill at the possibilities.
She went and under the urging OF her
friend talked with the director. and a
few minutes later was sharing a dress
ing room with number OF other extras
and being Initiated into tho art or maxi
Ing up.
Somehow I didn't get the thrill out
OF working before the camera that ono
is supposed 70 experience" she declared
tho other day. "Of course as extras we
did not know the story OF the picture.
We simply obeyed orders as they were
shouted al us in a megaphone and then
waited until the picture was exhibited

WOULD AMENDB|LL
TO SPECIFY BANKS
R. N. Harper Urges Inclusion
in Proposed Daylight
Saving Law.

Believing that failure eto include
specifically banks in the provisions of
the proposed daylight saving law in
the District would involve local banks
in numerous suits, Robert N. Harper.
president of the District Bankers
Association, is taking steps to have
this apparent oversight corrected.
He said today that he was seeking
to arrange a conference with Senator
Jones. when he would point out the
difficulties that would face the bank
ers if the banks were not provided
for in the measure, and make an Ell
fort to have the proposed law amend
ed to this extent.
Mr.. Harper said that he had studied
the bill and found that while 1t made
provision for the government Depart
ments and the street railways 10 ne
run on daylight saving time. the
banks were not specifically named,
and therein lies the trouble which the
bankers, through Mr. Harper, will
seek to have remedied.
This matter will have to be cor
rected or the banks are likely to find
themselves involved in numerous
suits" Mr.. Harper said today, "or they
would have to keep open an hour
over the usual closing time. Unless
some legal provision is made for the
closing of banks on daylight saving
time they would have to be kept open
until 3 o'clock standard time. For
instance. if a man had A note due on
certain day, and he came around at
O'Clock standard time to pay it, and
found the bank closed on daylight
time. in my opinion, there would be
basis for suits"
1t is rather a serious matter from the
viewpoint of the banks unless specific
provision is made in the law for them,
Mr. Harper said. He said he would
make every attempt to have the matter
corrected, and expressed the belief that
when the difficulties are pointed out
the condition would be remedied.

SHOWS AN EARLY START
IN CLEANUP ACTIVITY
Mrs. S. S. Alburtis Receives Re
port That Anacostia School
Children Began in March.

How the school children have been
having "clean-up week" every week
this spring is shown in a report made by
a grade in Anacostia, which Mrs Susan
5. AlburtiS is using as an example of
work and report making in other grades
where nature study and garden work
have been under way.
The first report sent in is by a sixth
grade of the ketcham School, and
grades have been doing to make
Washington a more beautiful city,
which was the project set for them
in early March and upon which they
have been enthusiastically at work
ever since.
Robert F,astnaught. Martha Nolte,
Edna Hubacher and Julia Hopes
were the committee that has kept be-
fore the entire ketcham School 100
per cent clean playground, to refrain
from throwing trash on the streets
and to cultivate gardens and lawns.
OF 307 children enrolled in the build
ing. 1T have gardens. and 1872 lawns
they have helped to keep in good
condition: 107 have planted nastur-
tiums. Washington's flower. After
tabulating the report. the committee
sends the following explanation.
The sixth grade children gathered
and tabulated these answers, and l
will give you the results:
w e lilO tidl ot per Seiit VI US nave
gardens. More than one-third of the
children have planted nasturtiums.
Are you going to help make your city
flower more popular? If so. plant
some. Eighty-one per cent of us re-
spect our neighbors' lawns. proving
that we are good citizens. 1 presume
that the same people did not throw
any paper on the Fairgrounds be
cause l find the percentage the same.
There are over seven-eighths of US
who kept off the school lawn. 1 pre-
sumo that the other eighth are the
ones who always give Miss Graves
trouble. About ive-eighths of our
good citizens have cleaned their
lawns. the other three-eighths prob
ably have no lawns to clean. There
are 27 per cent of US who are artists
for making posters. Three-ffths have
a desire to have clean surroundings,
as shown by picking up rubbish: the
other two-fifths have found nothing
to pick up.
