THE STRAND
Vaudeville.

Alfonzo Zelaya, noted pianist and
son OF the eX-President of Nicaragua,
needs no introduction to Washington
either as an entertainer or friend
in as much as he has lived here off
and on for over period OF twenty
years, and really claims the Capital
City as his home town. He has lost
none of his popularity as was amply
demonstrated at the Strang Theater
yesterday where he is appearing, as
the headline artist on an unusually
entertaining and worthwhile program
Of vaudeville and picture offerings.
Don Zalaya presents a musical
number that IL unusual. Presented
under the title of Music and Philos-
ophy" he divides his into three dis
tinct parts. first giving two or three
classical numbers which allow full
demonstration of his remarkable abil-
ity and technique. then a short dis
sortation on the philosophy Of music.
particularly as applied to Jazz"
why people like 1t. its effect on the
why he. as an entertainer Is literally
forced to play 1t. and then he dem
onstrates the truth Of his arguments
by carrying one on a trip through
LAKELAND" in a manner that would
be hard to equal.
Bollinger and Reynolds have one
of the best all round slack wire
acts on the stage. The fact that
many OF the most difficult feats are
burlesqued make the offering doubly
amusing and thrilling. Bell and
Baldwin, in an artistic revue of
songs and novel dances, proved most
pleasing.
The Honeymooners," a playlet pre-
scented by James Kennedy and COM
pany, in which clever lines and one
or two song numbers combine to
form fifteen minutes of snappy en-
tertainment. was likewise most IA
vorahly eceived. Dorothy Qunette
Stanley Hughes and company close
this portion OF the bill with a poppy
skit entitled "A Motoring Romeo" in
which dance. song and pianologue by
the three principals divide honors
with the result that numerous re-
calls were in order.
In selecting The Fighter" as a
story for Conway Tearle to photo
play, the Selznick Corporation acted
wisely-for Tearl is just the type OF
man for the hero. and the story
brings out the stars most effective
qualities. The Albert Payson Ter
hume narrative deals with a man
who does not fight with his fists or
enter into brawls: but his refusal to
be downed in any sort of a business
conflict the hero gains the title OF
the play.
Interesting short film features
complete the program and Arthur J.
Maxwell and his orchestra have sur
rounded the whole with a most APP
propriate musical score. the over
ture Violinsky's ''Vamping Rose" and
the exit march. Romberg's Follow
the Girl" both being perfectly rem
dered.

Katherine MacDonald's Stranger
Than Fiction" yesterday aroused en-
thusiasm at Crandall's Metropolitan
Theater, where II was presented for
the first time in Washington as chief
attraction for the week. A new Tooner-
vile comedy. The Skipper Strikes 1t

that characterized the bill and a tune

device familiar to the articulate stage.
but a distinct novelty on the screen. Of
presenting a picture within a picture.
Diane Drexel is screening homemade
movies" for party OF guests who
themselves have enacted roles In the
plays when the Black Heart, a no.
torious marauder from the under
world, switches off the lights and
escapes with all Of the valuables In
the house.
A quick chase is organized and the
action progresses with cyclonic speed
and power TO the underground dens Of
the Black Heart gang and finally into
the air where the climax of the picture
IL reached In the form of an exciting
ly hazardous air circus.
The screening of an amateur per-
Torrance of Carmen" preliminary to
the projection OF the later work,
stranger Than Fiction" at the
Drexel party permits Miss Macdonald
to appear In a wide variety Of imper-
sonations.
She is first the society hostess. then
an extremely alluring ,Carmencita,
next a gangstress who succeeds in
rounding up the Black Heart crooks,
and finally an aviatrix who adventures
in the skies with all Of the assurance
of a seasoned flier.
The present is easily Miss MacDon-
AIDS most entertaining picture. due
in part to the amusing comedy con-
tributions Of Wesley ''Freckles" Barry
in the supporting role Of a love ,lorn
kid of the slums.
The Skipper Strikes 1t Rich"
abounds in laughable situations and
tho droll wit for which Fontaine Fox
Ia noted. In 1t are introduced all Of
the familiar characters Of the car
ICONS that have made millions laugh.
New issues of the Pathe News and
Literary Digest's Topics Of the

the exceptionally interesting bill.

Mirskey to tell the story in music as
effectively as 1t is related on the
screen. and the overture. consisting
OF selections from Sigmund Rom.

Further investigation revealed that a large quantity of cigars. cigarettes and candies had been stolen. Six big boxes of cigars were among the loot taken. Although no trace was left by the robbers, Mir. Carson said that in hts opinion the culprit is a local man and he thinks he knows who he is inasmuch as a certain person in Kensington has always told Carson that he would ''get back at him" sometime.
 The Confectionery lunch room has been under the management of Car son for the past five months. It is the only place in Kensington which has n soda fountain. This fountain was recently installed and Carson was glad to find chat no damage was done 1t. He has fixed the establishment up since taking over the management of it and has made 1t one of the most up-to-date restaurants in town.
 Camp Cars Entered.
 What was at first thought to have been another robbery by the party or parties who entered the lunch room was the breaking into of two railroad cars. A rumor afoat this morning had 1t that two freight cars had been broken into and much damage done. This was denied at the railroad sta lion this morning where it was said that two of the old camp cars on a siding were entered. This was prob ably done by some tramp who wanted. a nights lodging. The cars were used during the war as sleepers for foreign workers but now are ready for the junk heap.

from Paia assisted the commissioner
in laying out the trail.
Sunday morning five scouts from
Spreckelsville made the attempt but
all failed. Just the missing of one
sign threw them off the trail and they
did not make the finishing point.

With the Alert
Boy Scouts of Maui

great number of tests passed by the
different troops during the past week
that scouting has taken hold good and
strong. This is just as it should be.
The real reason back of it all is the
scout has reached that point in scout
ing when it appeals to him as it never
did before. The first or early stages
of scouting make it necessary to do
a great deal of book learning to get
at the fundamental principals, after
these have been mastered, then the
real scouting begins, and this part of
the program appeals to the boy.
BY this time the strong hold of the
Scout Oath and Law have made it's
impression on the mind of the scout
and he begins to give outward mani
festations of it in his daily life. The
people see at last the real meaning
of scouting to the community.
