DANCES
LAID TO DRY ERA

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-Has the pro-
hibition era made the dances more
naughty?
The question was asked of lead
ing psychologists, alienists, dancing
instructors. moralists and others to-
day, following the report of the
Juvenile Protective Association that
more Objectionable dances are now
being witnessed in the dance halls
than ever before. The report was
based on an invitation of fifty dance
halls.
Answers in a majority of cases
were the same. The law of COM
peDsation" was the way the matter
was explained.
1T is very true that II you take
one pleasure from a man he will
find compensation in another" de-
clared DIR. James Whitney Hall.
noted alienist. The dances will no
doubt be faster and more risque as
the lid is frightened. Man must find
some way to compensate himself
for the thing that has been taken
from him"
The Rev. John p. Brushingham,
of the Morals Commission, declared:
The young women we come in con-
tact with used to say, 1T was my
first drink Now they say, 1t was
my first dance"

Danville College Battle
Attracts Comment
Far and Wide.

DANvILLE, Va, Feb. 21.-The
Averett College contro, ersy. which
has engrossed local attention for
the past week, has broadened out
into far more than a mere local is
s.Ie.
DIR. c. E. Croslanc. president of
the college. quotes several college
professors as saying that for a
long time the issue of liberal cHl-
ture against narrow and sectarian
ideals has been drifting towards a
show down" and that the crisis
had come in Danville where a ma
jority Of the trustees are anxious
to force the resignation Of the edu-
Gator because of his method of con-
Quoting the college. Allowing girls
to go to moving picture theaters
and to dance among themselves are
beyond the notions of the govern
ing body
One, of the unusual features Of
the controversy Is that of two
brothers on the board of trustees.
one of them aligned with the anti
Crosland faction and the other
fighting just as hard to vindicate
and keep the president here. These
men are Lysander Conway. the pro-
Crosland trustee, and the other
Powhatan Conway. the anti" Both
brothers are men high in local pub
lie life and are wealthy. They have
brotherly agreement not to dis
cuss the matter except at the Of
icial meetings of the board.
The main problem now is to save
the. college. Letters from parents
already indicate that some of the
girls will be withdrawn next year.
| If DR.. Crosland loses his fight, the
faculty, which is strongly aligned
with him and which has adopted
records showing their stand, will
resign.

CLARENDON

CLARENDON. Va, Feb. 21.-The
handsome home of Reuben Jones,
near Bancroft, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour
Saturday morning. when discov-
cred the fire had gained such a
headway that the occupants were
forced to fee in night clothing and
all contents Of the house, including
$500 in money, were lost. The
Clarendon and Cherrydale volunteer
fire departments responded to the
alarm and saved the outbuildings.
Loss was about $4,000. partially
covered by insurance
The board of supervisors at their
recent meeting authorized the con-
struction of a new road to connect
Clarendon and Cherrydale. which
will reduce the distance between
these two points by nearly a mile.
1t is proposed to extend Grafton
avenue from the Methodist Church
to a point on the Georgetown
Cherrydale road just west of Thrift

the exception of one plot has al

llTEW ATTRACTIONSAN
lAT THE TTIEATER
strsnd-yaudeyiIIe.

.
Frank and Maize Hughes came to
the Strand Theater yesterday as
headiiners Of one OF the best vaude-
vile shows that Manager Spar
rows has been able to offer for
long time. The Hughes duo are
well known throughout the United
States as the vaudeville team that
organized several overall clubs"
during the overall fad" of last sum-
mer. Their offering, as presented
last night. is termed "A Dance Ro-
nance" and this pair of nimble-
footed "steppers" certainly made
the headline position stand out as
a real headliner-a thing that is
very seldom found in small time
vaudeville circuits. They have a
neat routine Of dances, varying from
jazz to the waltzes of by-gone days.
A pianist, whose name does not ap-
pear on the program. is a very valu-
able aid to the Hughes duo, for he
plays. several popular compositions
between the dance numbers in an
entertaining fashion. The feature
dance, The Dance of the Dolls" net
ted them a large round Of applause
applause of real appreciation.
Maxen and Morris open the vaude-
Vile portion by offering a novelty
rev and entertaining-that found
much favor with everybody. To
describe the act would spoil it for
you--and it's too good to give away.
Gates and Finlay have a song and
dance affair they have correctly
termed THE Instructors" A plot
which Is very easy to follow is
sprinkled with bits of song and
comedy chatter. However, the big
hit of the act comes at the end
and this, too. is too good to tell
about.
In Julia Curtis we find a miss who
very capably portrsys some very IA
vorable impressions of various
players. She possesses a fine voice
and her efforts last night were well
regarded with applause.
Rives and Arnold present a COM
edy hit entitled "A Big Sale" Ar
mold has a likable personality while
Miss Rives has the ability to pro-
vide comedy galore. They scored a
hit.
Water, Water Everywhere" Is
the title of this weeks film offering
featuring Will Rogers. The picture
has an extraordinary love story as
a .plot-but Rogers apparent shy
ness of women puts just enough
comedy to sustain interest.
Arthur Manvelle and his boys OF
notes continue to add their charm
to the program. The .pee-wee"
orchestra. which provides the mu-
steal entertainment during the pic
lures is Manager Sparrow's latest
addition to his program and it GER
tainly makes the pictures more en-
joyable.
