MISS WINTERS STAGE DEBUT.
At Years Old She Played q
Chinese Doll.

Miss Winona Winter, youngest of five
principals in The Broadway Whirl," at
the Times Square Theatre, doesn't look
old enough to indulge in "reminiscences,
but having begun her stdge experience
at the age of two she admits an ex-
pertence that runs back for a score OF
years. Her first appearance was in q
Chinese musical sketch entitled "Poppies,"
and oddly enough one of her best songs
in her present role Is Poppy Land"
Miss Winter Is noted for her blond
beauty Us much as for her talents and
she Is encouraged to look as much like
herself on the stage as possible, while
as two-year-old she was compelled to
disguise herself as Chinese baby. Over
yellow curls the tiny girl wore a black
wig. or course her sea blue eyes could
not be disguised. but Chinese trousers
and blouse. made her look just like an
Oriental doll Unfortunately for the
Illusion, during Winona's very first ap-
pearance her head began to itch under
the hot wig. Without hesitation the
child reached up. removed the wig,
scratched the golden locks and put back
the wig-but put II on backward so that
the black and yellow hair shared honors.
AS an unconscious comedian the child
proved a great success. but her stage
career was interrupted right then and
there Soon after little Miss Winter ap-
peared with her father. Banks Winter.
In vaudeville and later Joined Miss Hat
tie Williams In The Little Cherub. u
Since then she has appeared with Julian
Bltinge in "The Fascinating Widow
in "The Polish Wedding and In THE
Golden Girl"

Take the case of Annette in The

To Wear Evening Suit

Four years ago freckled faced Wesley
Barry stepped into prominence in motion
pictures and ever since he has appeared
before the camera as the hero in
series OF pictures written especially for
him. Since becoming full fledged star
Wesley has always been cast as a poor
newsboy or as the central figure In a
tale of the Far West He has been seen
as cowboy with chaps. as a newsboy
with ragged clothing and as a street
urchin with little or no clothing. but at
no time has he been cast for part
that would require him to wear a reg
ular evening suit.
The boys ambition has been to enact
a dressed up" role He has yearned to
don the soup and fish and demonstrate
to his admirers that he can act with
stiff bosomed shirt as we'll as with torn

Days his latest film vehicle. was shown
to him he was delighted. For. the first
time he would be a gentlemanly boy.
No more newsboy parts for him.
In School Days" Barry is seen as

DIARIES CHARGED
WITH MlSBRANDINC
Sold Pasteurized Milk as Spe-
cial Grade Raw, Says
Health Officer.

Two Washington dairies-the
Chevy Chase airy. 32oS n street
northwest. = and the Thompson
Dairy, 2o12 Eleventh street north
west, were charged yesterday by
DR.. William c. Fowler. Distric,
health officer. with misbranding
milk.
The dairies. according to DR.
Fowler. were selling pasteurized
milk as a special grade of raw
milk. which is a violation of the
food and drug act. The case has
been referred to reyton Gordon
United States attorney for the Dis
trict.
According to representatives OF
the diaries the milk in question
was of the raw grade when thep
represented II, but in order to pre-
serve it during the hot months
they had heated it to 1873 degrees
and Immediately cooled it. They
contend that this cannot be con-
sidered -pasteurized as such milk
is required to be heated to las
degrees and held at that tenn
perature for a period OF thirty
minutes.
Analysis Of the milk by the
health department showed that in
stead Of the natural increase OF
bacteria, there was a decrease from
the time the milk was receive in
this city until the consumer re-
ceived it. This is conclusive evil
dence that the milk was pasteur-
ized,r, said DIR. Fowler.
