Saw 5 FAILURES
IN SAME SEASON
But Eddie Dale Kept Right
On Climbing Up the
Stage Ladder.

The success of Eddie Dale as a
burlesque comedian is not due TO
any so-called "office pulls" or nnan-
ciaI backing to place his ability to
produce laughs before the pubic,
for Eddie has met and weathered
many storms, both hard luck and n
nancial. This week Dale is providing
the fun with the Victory Bellies
at the Gayety.
Only eight or nine years ago
Dale was an unknown actor eager
to advance high in theatricals, but
his ambitions were given somewhat
of a jolt when the attraction he was
playing with stranded in Western
territory. But the fact that the
company had stranded did not affect
Eddie's eagerness to become q star
As he tells the story, he
''freighted" back TO New York,
where he signed up with company
that met a fate similar to that OF
the first Five times during that par
ticular season did his companies fail
but Dale's efforts were well re-
warded, for a burlesQue producer
viewed a performance and offered
the comedian a burlesque contract
the foothold that Dale had been
anxiously waiting for. Once identi-
fed with burlesaue, he advanced tc
the front as a featured comedian.
Dale has a Dutch dialect, uses q
Dutch makeup and attire and hs
used both of them during the wal
when most Of the Dutch comedians
discarded their then comedy fea-
lures and sought to entertain with
other facilities.
Dale spends the summer months
resting for the ensuing season and
he certainly needs the rest, for two
performances a dsy-the way Dale
works 'em-are bound to tire out
a person in the best Of health.

IRISH REIGN OF TERROR
TO CLOSE, LONDON SAYS

LONDON. Jan. 1o.--Sir llomar
Greenwood left for Ireland today fol-
lowing a weeks series of coniercices
with Premier Lloyd George. IT Is
believed that the reign OF terror III
Ireland will close shortly as the re-
suit OF a radical change In policy
determined on at these conferences
That martial law and military
coorcion have failed to produce the
desired effect is admitted even III
ouartcrs which were once the most
optimistic. It is learned on the best
authority that the government now
realizes two suprcmely important
facts regarding Ireland, that military
rule Is driving the moderates 10
the extremists camp and that tho
Slim Fcin will not work under the
home rule act beyond contesting
Tho elections in order to keep other
parties from setting up parliament.
with this realization, for the hTst
time. there is n real CLEAN OF hope
that the present terror Will DC
brought to close.
What form the new line or pro-
codure will take is not clear at TINS
moment. but Indications point doh-
nitclv to the clearing of ireland OF
both sets of gunner and that should
clear the atmosphere TO such an ex-
font that settlements, now regarded
as impossible, could be considered.
such n procedure would constitute
the great body OF moderate opinion
which, In the last analysis, should ac-
cont the terms now rejected con-
CONTINUOUSLY ny the extremists of both
sides.
The impending return of Sir Auck-
land Geddes ambassador to the
limited Statcs. may be of Importance
in this connection, as II has been an
nourccd that he Is coming home to
discuss with the premier questions
Of Anglo American policy. and the
Irlsh problem H. considered as one of
those to be taken up.
Meantime military activity in Ire
and is proceeding at full blast. Tho
most extensive raid ever carried out
w tho crown forces in ireland, which
vas started Saturday night, ended to-
night
Ofncinl Quarters remain silent on
;he reasons for tho unsual activity,
and nrst reports in Dublin nscribed
II to tho desire to protect tho court

death sentence, Commutcd to WCdnCs-
lay, was TO be granted an appeal.
However, Murphy, who is accused of

General a. Mitchell Palmer, it was

Without mentioning Palmer by name
Untermyer made a scathing attack
on the Department of Justice and
the office of alien property custodian.
which Palmer held before being
named Attorney General.
The Attorney Generals inactivity
against building combinations which
are being exposed by the Lockwood
committee for which Untermyer is
acting as counsel, was the basis of
! the attack.
"There has never been n Govern

and patronage of those great offices
are said to have been used, and it is
the general belief that they were in
cidentally used to build up a great
