Ralph Morgan Began :,
Career as a LdlDyer,
But Thespis Got Hin,

Il was not always therintention Of
Ralph Morgan, who Is co-starring
with Donald Brian and Peggy
Wood in 'Buddies," to become an
actor. His mind was first set upon
the law, but after a little expert
ence in this profession he forsook
It for the stage.
Mr. Morgan was born in New
York City. He is q graduate OF
Columbia College Law School. He
tackled Blackstone with enthusi-
asm but after a short practice he
decided to try his luck on the stage,
as the lure of the footlights was
too much for him. -...

amateur theatricals, he readily Sc
cured an engagement.

are united again this
season after a separation Of three
years, during which time each CO.
median was on the vaudeville
stage. The FIRST thing they agreed
upon at their reunion was the
abolition Of "slap-stick" comedy
and the launching Of a campaign
among burlesque- entertainers to
make it a minus quantity hereafter.
It took a lot of hard work, the
comedians agree. to produce what
they claim is the funniest book
they have ever written in their
stage careers. It Is the vehicle
which serves to exploit the ability
of the large cast that Gerard has
given his show this year. Wear
ing no clown" makeup, the two
comedians are able In this sketch
to put over q brand of comedy that
has made a hit with Gayety pa

Special children's performances

At these popular matinees arranged
exclusively for the entertainment of
children special care is taken in the
choice of photodramatic offerings
and extra added novelties in order
that the child mind may be diverted
but at the same time trained to fol-
low plot, perceive motivation and
appreciate coherent narrative. The

Famous

After an association Of forty-five
years, dating back. to 1874. Mcln-
tyre and Heath, the famous black
face comedians, are returning to
town this week In Hello. Aexan-
DER - .i5ss..-' - = r 80
In these .daysyo Of overnight stars
when temperAmental artists are
with one management today and
another tomorrow, the association
of McIntyre and Heath Is one Of the
really wonderful, friendships of the
American 'theater. 1t Is not an un-
common thing in the personnel OF
any company to have one star be-
little another; or for an actor or an
actress to kill the scene Of another.
but II is rare. as in the case OF these
black face comedians, to have. for
instance, Heath say that Mcintyre
is the best comedian on the stage,
the best friend any man ever had.
etc, and then go into the dressing
room of Mcintyre and have him say
that in his profession or out of 1t
he has never met a man whom he
thinks as much of as Heath.
Friendships of this sort are rare
enough in private life, but when
they extend into the theater today
IL is at once evident why these
great Ministries have played to-
gether over a span of nearly half a
century, long after other teams have
had their fling and are now forgot
ten by the theater-going public.
Mcintyre and Heath formed their
partnership in 1874 and have worked
together without a break ever since.
The comedians made their first big
success in Chicago, when they In
troduced the buck and wing dance.
Five years later they invaded New
York and made their frst appear
ance at Pastors, Their two most
successful vehicles were THE Geor.
gia Minstrels," in which they ap-
peared in vaudeville for years, and
"The Ham Tree" which was pro-
dnced fourteen years ago.

Noel Tearle's Part
As Picture Villain
Arouses Film Fan

Noel Tesrle, who created the role
of Isaac, the Ihypocritical son In
"Oyer the Hilf" the william Fox
picture which is delighting large
audiences daily at the Shubert-Gar-
rick, was confronted recently on
Broadway in New York by a mo-
ton picture devotee, who not only
recognized Tearle after having seen
him in the picture, but admitted that
he wished to satisfy himself that
the crooked son in the movies
could not possibly be SO crooked and
despicable in private life"
81 never hated anybody so much
in my life as did you in that pic
ture," declared the "fan," and IL ]

have made the picture more reslis-
tic than ever Apparently. you are
a mighty nice fellow. and Il Is hard
for me to understand how you can
make yourself so thoroughly de-
tested while acting in that picture"
Tesrle agreed with the critic that
the role was somewhat "distasteful,"
adding that he construed the young
mans remarks as q very high COM
pliment to his ability as q motion

ducted operations, and exposed the aircraft scandal, it having developed that management of aircraft during the war was about the known limit of inefficiency and stupidity. This com mittee's activities did much to cause the war department to mend its ways speedily and cor rected some of the most glaring mismanage- ment.
 After the war the investigation went on and the revelations showed that under former Sec retary Baker the war department had been mis- managed from top to bottom, particular mis- management being shown in reckless expen- ditures of public money. Notwithstanding these damaging facts Baker retired as a colonel of the officers reserve corps, having thought fully awarded himself distinguished service medal before being displaced by Secretary Weeks There were many who thought that Mr. Baker should have been "fired" in dis grace from command of the war department during the war. He was one of Mr. Wilson's "pets," however, and stayed on. The United States won the war; not with Bakers aid, but despite his blunders and inefficiency. This was shown in the congressional investigations

HIGHEST AND LOWEST POINTS U. 5. PROPER
 ARE IN CALIFORNIA

WASHINGTON, June 50. - The highest and lowest points in the United States are in California with in 90 miles of each other, says a bulletin issued by the geological SIT vey. Mount Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501 feet above sea level and ill Death Valley there is a de- pression that lies 276 feet below sea level.
 The difference in height of these two points is small however, the sur vey states, as compared with the diff ference in the height and depth of land in Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,OO2 feet above sea level whereas the shores of the Dead Sea lie 1,29O feet below.
 Information in the hands of the sur vey shows that the greatest depth yet found in any ocean is 32,O8S feet, a depth at point about 40 miles north of the island of Mindanao in the Phil ippines. This would make the bot tom of the sea at that point more than 11R miles below the summit of Mount Everest
