STRAND.
N-.A--.s.p

Strand patrons were out in fun
force yesterday to view the opening
of the current weekly vaudeville and
picture program, and Ii you were
among those that were able to get
a seat for any of the performances,
you'll admit that the entire show
strikes somewhat above the average.
There are two decided features OF
the vaudeville portion. First, MUIR
ray Leslie and his .'FriIl Shop
tabloid musical comedy that holds a
high position among the acts of such
tyne. and Eddie sloane. "A Dark
Son of Father JOY" as he is billed.
Probably some of the vaudeville
followers of Washington can re-
member Murray Leslie as the chap
who formerly cavorted the big-time
stage as single" singing snappy
songs, telling really lsughable sto-
ries and all-in-sll amusing every
body. But alas, Murray has deserted
the single role. and. as we under
stand it. for the best. To-Day he
may be seen as the chief funster OF
The Frill Shop" musi-girlte com
edy with scenery suggesting nm
gerie shop. The act is well dressed,
neatly staged and brimful OF COM
edy supplied by Leslie. Leslie's dance
stands out as the bright light of the
Offering, although be is assisted
advantage by quintet of girlies
and a man dresser" who adorns
the feminines with gowns made OF
mere strips of cloth. This act is I'M
like other girl acts, and we arr
sure that it will please you.
Eddie Sloane. holding down tn
fourth position on the bill. stoppe
the show with his songs and stori
Eddie works in blackface. and. as
we suspected. landed a solid hit both
with laughter and appiause-ano
when Strand patrons applaud as
they did when sloane had tinisheo,
il can be taken for granted that toe
offering is away above par. Sloane's
songs and stories are bright, and
his vocal numbers are especially
pleasing.
Provost and Goulet: Murray and
Klein, and SWANS cats and rats are
the remaining acts on the bill, each
cornering a certain amount of APP
plause.
Alice Lake in the cinema offering,
The Infamous Miss Revell," is very
pleasing. and Prof. Mannell's or
chestra is, as usual, an unmistakable
feature. II. r. X.

ATTRACTIONS AT LOCAL THEATERS

ally romantic circumstances there
enters the girls life a young avia-
tor. an exceptionally romantic fig
ure. and by an equally odd combi-
nation of circumstances the girl
and the aviator are thrown to-
gether in rather unconventional
places. Love flames between them
within the week. but the girl and
her father are both equally shocked
when the young aviator offers her
his hand. with the statement that
he is penuiless, but is willing To
work always for her.
With her sentiments brought
thus into sharp conflict with her
former financial and social ambi-
tions. the girl is put to the nrst
real test of her life, but in the end
she comes to realize that without
love happiness is impossible. and
she chooses love and the aviator
who loves her.

The same Billy watson: the same

same grade of a burlesque that Is

current piece received the same en-
thusiastic reception that siusually
accorded a Watson show.
Undoubtedly Billy Watson is in
burlesque today because he has a
desire to make people laugh.
Further, he can claim the same dis
tinction as a laughmaker today
as of bygone days-the same repu-
tation that has made him one of
the most popular of burlesque
comics of all times.

GERMANS FORM

In MEXICO CITY
Protest at "Edicts of So
cial Outlawry" Against
Kin i'm America.

MEXICO CITY. Mexico. Nov 21--
commandments engaged In busi-
ness or employed here are forming
a branch OF the steuben Society 81 ,
America. Organizers Of the Mexico
City branch say that 1t would be
wrong to suppose that the founders
of the society proceeded with ran
cor I'm their hearts" but also say
that those who devised the Steuben
organization were profoundly
shocked by the many violations and
infractions % the solemn rights and
by edicts of social outlawry pro-
claimed against their kindred"
At the head OF the movement here
is F. II. Mardus. who is understood
to be acting In connection with
Steuben societies that have been
formed in Texas.
LoysI TO Revolution
The Steuben Society was named in
honor OF Gen Won SteUben. one Of
Gen. George Washington's stall
wart supporters in the grim days Of
Revolutionary struggle, who figures
in American history. the German
Americans believe. as brilliant and
as appealing TO patriotic hearts as
Gen. Lafayette.
Mr.. Mardus explains why Steuben
societies have been formed in the
United States. but does not clearly
explain the purpose OF such a soci-
ETY. in Mexico. For this reason there
are persons here who suspect that
the new organization has some
connection with German propagan-
da, which is more active here than
in any other country.

JAPANESE PRINCE
kIKESPOPULARITY
Postcard Pictures of HirohitO
Add to Spirit of De-
mocracy.

TOKYO. Nov. 2O.-The real ambi-
ton of Hirohito. Crown Prince Of
Japan, is to be a good fellow"
His ideal of the personification
of things an up-and-coming young
heir to a throne should be is the
Prince of Wales.
At least, that's the belief of those
who are supposed to know what's
what around the imperial palace Of
Japan.
However, Hirohito has rather a
hard time being a regular guy. He
is supposed to be descended from
the Sun Goddess. and, therefore, to
have an extraordinary amouPt Of
dignity TO maintain.
1t gives the court functionaries a
terrible jolt to think Of the En-
peror-to-be milling around too
proIIiscuously. Some of the most
conservative of them are supposed
to lie awake nights shiyering ia
fear of the wrath to come from the
Divine Ancestors because of the
somewhat democratic tendencies
Hirohito has already manifested.
Young Japan, however, is de-
lighted. Nothing pleases it better
than the sdea that is being bruited
about these days, that Hirohito
would like to be, and may be If
given fair chance by court Off
ials and traditions, sort OF Prince
of Wales Of the Far East.
Until Hirohito made his recent
trip to Europe, no member OF i'm
perial family had ever been cheered
nv his people, or had ever appeared
in public except to the most rev.
erential and silent reception. Even
the utterance OF the Emperor $
name was taboo among the Japan
csc. Today even the most radical

these democrats of Japan, but they
want him to fiji into representa-
tive government. And the more
snappy and up-to-date their Crown

be the better tSey like il.
One OF the striking evidences OF
