The Theodore ~ Vail memorial
fund, which supplies the medals and
other awards for conspicuous and
noteworthy public service by Bell
telephone employees, was established
to commemorate and perpetuate the
ideals of public service as exemplified
by the life and teachings of the late
Theodore N. Vail in directing the af-
fairs of the Bell system.
It was Mr. Wallis wish always to
recognize and commend in some pup
lie and permanent manner the devo-
ton to duty and heroic readiness of
Bell telephone employees to disregard
their own comfort and safety in the
face of emergencies.
The Vail medals accomplish this
and give an added incentive to those
who hold service above self.

D. E. WOMEN LACK
BURLESQUE TASTE
Actor Remarks on Failure of
Feminine Fans Here to
Attend Shows.

Abe Reynolds, featured comedian
at the Gayety this week. expressed
surprise at the small number of
women who attend the perform
ances given at the Ninth street the
ater.
"Of all the times that / have had
the pleasure of playing to Wash
ington burlesque audiences" said
Mr.. Reynolds, this year l find that
women of the Nations Capital are
not taking advantage of the tuneful
and spry burlesque offerings that
are brought here each week. This
season has provided more and bet
ter specialties, due, perhaps, to the
large number of vaudeville stars
who have deserted the varieties for
this more popular form of amuse
ment. The types of shows offered
have been bettered 100 per cent over
those of the past few seasons. Sug-
gestiveness has been eliminated in
practically all attractions. In most
cities these shows are running on
even terms with the best of vaude-
vile houses"
