Mother, Ethel Levey, and
Pair Ges Ovation That Sets
New Recordfor Broadway

Ethel Levey, international star of the
dram tic and music hall stages, opened
q weeks engagement ut the Palace The
ater yesterday and registered the
greatest hit scored in recent years by a
single woman" on Broadway. Her act
reached a climax of enthusiasm when
her daughter, Georgette Cohan, walked
on the stage in the song Marie Rose

her father, George NJ. Cohan. and an
audience largely professional.

forth that Miss Cohan would appear
with her mother, and Broadway celebri-
ties came by the scores to- see the
gifted daughter of George NJ. Cohan
and Ethel Levey, as we'll as to do honor
to the temperance of Miss Lcvey.
Standing room IN the back of the the
ater was preempted by a caravan Of
florists, who had been hidden to say it
with flowers.
Both mother and daughter had to
make curtain speeches, and Miss
Cohan prolonged applause when, with
characteristic Cohan accent and ges-
ture she said, 81 thank you, and my
mother thanks you, and my father
thanks you,' then jolted off the stage.
with the steps made famous in "Georg6
Washington Jr."
Miss Levey has developed a physical
attractiveness that surprised and de-
lighted her friends. She might have
passed for the dark, slim sister of the
blond Georgette. She wore some ex-
quisite frocks that gave her a lovely
Silhouette. Despite a cold she sang
and recited with charm and dramatic
power. Her performance was the most
artistic She ever gave in New York. She
also danced with grace and agility
"There's life in the old girl yet.o she
exclaimed, laughing. Lively, indeed, is
the answer, but old-never.
The audience was immensely tickled
to note the marked resemblance be-
tween daughter and 'ather, but never

 LOS ANGELES, July 22-Reunited through a curious coincidence with a sister from whom ne had been seper- lated for twenty ye2rs. a sick hero of the Dardanelles campaign and the sis ter for whom he had been searching are residing together in London, ac- cording to Everet F. Perry, Los An geles librarian.
 The two were brought together by the Los Angeles Public Library, which became interested in the case when a letter was received by Libra rian Perry from the London aol5ier asking aid in his hunt for his sister, who, he thought might be living in Los Angeles or vicinity
 While library workers were making an apparently hopeless attempt to find the missing woman. with the aid of the Los Angeles Police Department and the sheriff's office the woman was located by q strange development.
 The brother had appealed to the H. brary, knowing his sister to be a great lover of books And i3 was through this slender clue that the woman was finally found
 The woman later entered the libra ny and requested help in looking up data relative to questions in which she was much interested said Libra rian Perry. Writing her name and address on slip of paper. she left the library. with the request that the information sought be mailed to her
 Librarian attendants noticed that the name of the woman was that of the sister oi the disabled war veteran. She was at once communicated with and placed in touch with her brother.
 A letter received by Librarian Per ry from the grateful war veteran brought the news that the long-sep erated brother and sister are resid. ing happily together in London

 BERLIN. July 22.-Can Germany's cheap labor underbid the world mark cts and throw Americans out of work ? This question has brought dozens of American business men to Germany who are making quiet investigations of the German industrial situation. The result of these investigations, are for time at least, reassuring for America.
 An American textile manufacturer found that to his surprise he can un- dersell the German in neutral Europ- can countries in many lines The In, tcrnational News Service asked him the reason why Germany, with labor costing only from eight to fifteen cents an hour, cannot compete with the comparatively highly paid American workmans output He said
 Before the war Germany was able to cut prices because of her enormous production The majority Of textile factories today are working only 35 to 40 per cent of their 1913 produC- tion. Smaller output increases pro duction cost on the article The reas- ons for the decreased output are:
 1.-The graduated taxation is so heavy that manufacturers don't find it worth the risk to have a big output. With heavy production the states takes the profits in taxation: with a smalled gross income they can make larger net profit without so much risk.
 "2-The fluctuating exchange of the mark makes II dangerous for Ger. man manufacturers to lay in large stockes of raw material The value of the mark may change and they find themselves in q position where they cant even get the originel value of the Td" mater ldlS out pI Iue'I lihi9h'' wares Raw materials are more eX- pensive when bought in small Quant- ities.
 "3-The state law forbidding dis. missing workmen, even if they are un- necessary. makes it dangerous to take on a big staff temporarily to turn out a hurried order
 "4-The psychology of German sal esmanship has been so affected by the falling mark and skyrocketing prices that they demand twice the percentage of profit they were will ing to take in peace timts"
