Miss Howell Big Success

Miss Lois Howell and her company
of actors scored a great succes yes
terday in their presentation of a play
without a name. This play vas writ
ten by Miss Howell and left without
a name so that the people of this
city might help her select a name
for it. For the best suggestion FOR
a title tosthe play, Miss Howell will
give two season passes for all Of her
productions.
The play deals with the life of a
young girl who is found on the
streets of a large city by three men.
These men adopt the girl and bring
her up. The girl after staying with
the men for some time steals their
savings and runs away. Later in
life she has her opportunity and
makes good, she returns to the men
and marries one of them. It's a play
you are bound to like as it tells a
real story. Come see the production
and see if you can suggest a name
TO: it that will be acceptable to Miss
Howell.
players r great favorites in this
city. That they will be successful
here has been already proven. If
you like a change from just black
and Invite, lifeless motion pictures,
visit the Crescent and see Miss How
ell and her company of players. You
will be fully repaid for your trouble
and we venture to say will find your
self going to Miss Howell's perform
ances again and again.

Great Feature at Ditmas

Beyond Price," in which Pearl
White appeared yesterday at the Dit
mas theatre, is a very clever screen
story and one that fits admirably the
stars talents. 1t is a story of three
wishes. Miss White. though married,
wishes to be the wife of a millionaire.
she wishes to be a famous woman,
and. lastly she wishes to have baby
arms around her neck.
In the lively and often humorous
scenes that follow she has all of her
wishes granted; though it should be
added that she is the wife of a mil
lionaire for only a few minutes-and
the same is true of her fame. And
as for baby arms, she gets four of
them from an o~rphanage to add to
her happiness.
A fine cast supports her in this
William Fox production.
Skeptical wives who have beer
worried b yam ever haunting ques-
ton should surely find a most sat
isfactory answer in "Why Trust
Your Husband? starring Eileen
Percy, which was also shown at the
Ditmas theatre last night.
"Why Trust Your Husband? ?" Is
a riproaring farce comedy and b
most delightful entertainment.
One can always oun on Miss
Percy to give a capital performance
which she more than does in this
unusual farce. George E. Marshall,
co-author of the story. and also the
director. has given the film many
twists in unfolding the exceed
ingly funny situations; and the sup
porting cast, headed by Harry Myers.

The administration has finally

Y Certain '1rreconcilable" senators,
who refuse to be pleased with any

because it is proposed to discuss the
question of policy in the Pacific as

This seems to be q narrow and

So far as France and Italy are
concerned, while they have not the

WASHINGTON, July 22:-With q
tangled maze of deficits and losses
behind him, Albert d. Lasker, new
chairman of the United States Ship.
ping Board, today is looking hope
fully ahead.
"Our task is to make what was
q liability into ar asset" Lasker said.
after pointing out that the opera
tions of the Shipping Board during
the last fiscal year resulted in a fiat
loss of more than $500, 000, 900 to
the taxpayers.
Three tasks which Lasker and his
associates must finish with the great
est dispatch are:
ONE-To dispose of more than
$500. 100000 in old claims against
the Shipping Board, a hangover from
the last administration.
TWO-To dispose of the fleet of
2S5 wooden ships, called absolutely
useless by experts, which are eating
up $4,000 a month for upkeep
alone.
THREE-To put the Shipping
Board and the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration on a business basis and, If
possible, on a money-making basis.
In getting the board back on a
business basis. Lasker plans to or
ganize it along the same lines as any
great corporation.
He will entrust the operations of
the board to five vice presidents. all
technical experts. Each vice presi-
dent will choose his own staff. Each
will be instructed to choose the fit
test side, throwing politics to the
winds.
THE President has inherited in
the Shipping Board the most difficult
business problem ever given to a
president to work out. Every condi-
ton surrounding it was SICK" Lask-
er said.
But the Shipping Board is not
disheartened
with patience something can be
done and out of this wreck a real
American merchant marine will
arise"
