In speaking of the playground
situation in the District, S. T. Cam
eron, chairman of the committee
said: Washington is far behind
most of the big cities in this coun-
try in providing for children's rec
reation. In many sections the chill
dren have no space in which to
play except the streets, while in
other sections they use property
which has been loaned by private
individuals and which may be sold
at any time. In some sections, also,
the property belongs to the schools
and sooner or later will be needed
for additional buildings.
What we are interested in more
than anything else" continued Mr..
Cameron. lis the acquisition by the
District of property which can be
dedicated solely to playground pur-
poses. We do not care whether
Congress app-opriates money to buy
this property, or whether funds
come from organizations or individ-
uals. The thing is to get enough
Fairgrounds to keep the children
on of the streets and to get ground
which can never be used for any,
thing else.''

RIALTO.
"Beau Revel,s Featuring Florence
Vidof.

A new Thomas H. Ince-Paramount
special production. Beau Revel," a
splendid perturbation of Louis Jo-
seph vance's popular novel, was pre-
sented for the first time in WASH
ington at Moore's Rialto Theater
yesterday, a large and appreciative
audience being in attendance.
The attraction is a striking pho
toplay of New York's -Four Hun
-dred." ably directed and acted. II
concerns Lawrence Revel, known to
the smart world" as Beau" a
wealthy and fascinating man-about-
town. The story depicts the efforts
of Beau" to save his son, Dick.
from a charming dancer and propri-
etor of an exclusive dancing club.
Nellie Steele, whom he believes un-
fit to be his sons wife. Wishing to
break his boys infatuation. the
father makes a compact with him
not to see her for two weeks. He
says he will have her alone in his
apartment on midnight of the last
day. Beau" however, trifier with
women's affections that he is, really
falls in love with Nellie-for the
first time in his life. When the last
day arrives, Nellie's brother makes
frantic appeal to her for money.
and she hastens to "Beau's" apart
ment for aid. Dick, the son, follows
her there, and when father and son
realize that they are in love with
the same girl there arises a dra-
matte situation that is remark able
in its power. To say that it is in
tense is putting II mildly.
An unusually strong and talented
cast is seen in the many important
roles, several of them being most
favorably remembered for their
great work in Lying Lips" Ince's
previous production shown here The
title role is played by Lewis Stone,
giving a striking portrayal. Lloyd
Hughes. one of the directors recent
finds, plays the son with intelli-
gence, while Florence Vidor is
charming as Nellie. the dancer.
An excellent program of subsidi-
ary attractions includes a Sunshine
comedy, 1.-The Night Before;" a XII
neto Review, Bonnie Scotland;" the
latest Fox News, and overture
Keler-Bela's ''Romantique."

GARDEN.
"Appearances" Featuring Davi
Powell.

The third Paramount production
made in England, Appearances"
was most favorably received by a
large and appreciative audience at
Moore's Garden Theater yesterday,
where the showing will continue
through Wednesday next.
Apart from its value as a photo
play, depicting modern social condi-
tions just as prevalent in America
as they are.in England, and a strong
love story which is depicted with
dramatic force, this Donald Crisp
production is notable for the cast
seen in the many important roles.
David Powell, popular and talented
screen star is seen in the leading
role. with Mary Glynne, who plays
the part of Henry Seaton's wife,
kitty; Langthorne Burton, as Lord
Rutherford; Percy Standing. who
gives an excellent impersonation of
Dawkins. a shady company pro-
motor: Marjorie Hume, and other
we'll known British players.
= The story unfolded, deals with
the struggles of n reckless young
architect to keep up appearances
beyond his income. His attempts to
advertise his growing success by
means of increasing extravaganza,
is intended to typify the present day
struggle for existence of the mid
die" and the professional classes
While entertaing spectators the
story conveys a sound wholesome
moral that cannot fail to prove
beneficial to any who study the un-
derlying theme.
he production is remarkable for
its outdoor views. many of them, ac-
cordine to report being photo
graphed on the grounds of the his
torical Highcliffe Castle in Hamp-
shire. and they are decidedly beau
tiful the fine English landscape be-
ing pictured in all it's rich beauty
The interior settings are likewise
wonderfully massive.
The short subjects presented in
clude. a laughabIe comedy, scenic
and late world events as picturized
in the Fox News, are all fully in
keeping with the high standard set
by the feature attraction.

Dorothy Dalton I'm AsThe Idel sf the
N0rth.n
The thrills of the days when gold
seekers crowded the trail to the
Yukon and the Northwest have
been faithfully transplanted to the
screen in The Idol of the North"
the new Paramount production OF
j. Clarkson Miller's original. story
which brings Miss Dorothy Dalton,
the noted star Of 1.-The Flame OF
the Yukon" "Flare-Up Saf' and
similar stories Of like character
to the screen of Loew's Palace The-
ater for a weeks engagement be-
ginning yesterday afternoon.
In The Idol Of the North" In
which Miss Dalton was directed by
r. William Neill, with a supporting
cast that includes Edwin August,
Riley Hatch. Marguerite Marsh and
many others, Miss Dalton has the
role of a dance hall favorite in a
northwestern gold-rush camp whose
mercenary fleeing of the miners
eventually results in their rebellion
and in her enforced marriage to the
camp derelict, man who has wan
dered North to forget the tragedy
of his romance with a cold-hearted
woman at nome.
Saddled with q husband who Is
the camps open scorn, it is the
dance hall girl who discovers a
sturdy strain in his character which
captivates her fancy, flames her ad-
miration to love, and sets her to the
task of regenerating the man she
has married. The task Is further
complicated by the appearance OF
the other woman who returns to
claim the man she has cast on. The
unfaltering love of the dance-haii
girl, however, resists this attempt
on her happiness. and the story is
brought to q powerful and appeal
ing conclusion.
There are a number Of brilliant

DAWES WANTS CUT
IN DRY LAW FUNDS

The Federal budget law is no re-
spector of government bureaus and
the Director of the Budget. in his
determination to cut down govern
ment expenses. does not propose to
sho wany partiality, not even to
tn prohibition enforcement bureau.
The prohibition bureau it was
learned Saturday must toe the mark
set by the President for all govern
ment functions and come through
with an estimate for the budget di-
rectors of expenditures for the next
year that are essential and another
estimate of savings that can be made
from the appropriations.
Director Dawes thinks that ST.
100000, which the prohibition com
missioner has appropriated for en-
forcement for the fiscal year is a
lot of money. To be permitted to
spend that much money Commits
sioner Haynes must be able to show
that 1t is justihable.

BELIEVESSCHOOL
FRATS WILL OBEY
RULING BY BOARD
DIR. Simon Expects: Big
Problems in Extra
Enrolment.

Belief that rs per cent of high
school fraternities will abide by the
school board order authorizing DR..
Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of
public schools, to compel members
of disapproved fraternities, next
September from induiging. in any
school activities. other than schol-
astic. was expressed Saturday night
by DR.. Abram Simon. who was re-
elected last Friday to presidency
of the Board of Education.
Finds Sentiment With Board.
The school board does not wish
to crush high school spirit" DIR.
Simon declared. II think the ma
jority of sentiment expressed on the
fraternity matter is in accord with
the boards ruling, and rather than
crushing school spirit the board
promotes it," he said.
DIR. Simon said that universities
throughout the country are dead
opposed" to high school fraterni-
ties.
In discussing plans of the school
board for next September, he said
the construction Of schools and the
question of teachers salaries would
receive first consideration
Expects Large Enrellment.
One of the greatest problems, he
said, would be the distribution OF
students in the various schools, as
a large enrolment is expected in
every school.
I'VE cannot expect the new
school buildings to be erected be-
fore next year, and with the COM
ing enrolment of approximately
1000 kindergarten children, the
matter of distribution will be one
of our greatest problems" DR.
Simon said.

According 70 reports from west

and Battle Mountain is reported to
be washed out over the Overland
Trail and the highway is rendered

is presumed that washouts have
caused the difficulty. 1t is said to-

In danger OF going out. Since the
road has been reported as impass-
able tourists have been routed over
Pinsons bridge and sent by way of

and the rest OF the road IS impass-
able It is said that there is still a

around through the mountains at
Hilltop. No one Ia willing to vouch
for the latter method OF travel how
