Hope Hampton Is
to Continue Here

dous popular interest that
has been aroused by the personal
appearance Of Miss Hope Hamp-

duction of Star Dust" current at

stories. and songs. There prob
ably never has appeared in person
before the Washington public a
more versatile or charming pic

rounded is an entertaining one.

gram will be Norma Talmadge's
latest production for First Ma
tional, Loves Redemption"
adapted by Anthony Paul Kelly
from Andrew Soutar's novel. "on

ical isle Of the southern seas and
amid the haunts Of smart Ameri-
can society.

role thoroughly to her liking and

rison Ford. Montagu Love. Frazer

GAME AND IRISH PLAYERS TO VIE WITH FOLLES i'm CAPITAL
Easier Jobs Than
Walking THE Wire,
Saws Bird MIIman

VIZ HEN you see Bird MIL
" man, the diminutive wire
walker dance on a slender
thread of steel in the third an
nual production Of the Green
witch Village Follies. seen for
the first time at Polls Theater,
is looks very easy. Miss Mill
man however tells a story which
shows wire walking Is a very diff
ficult thing.
The first thing I have to con-
slider very carefully is gravity.
II my wire is a quarter OF an
inch of level, II must be adjusted
before I attempt to dance on II.
Weather also affects the high
tempered steel of the wire 80 II
h s a different mood every day.
can only wear shoes made Of
one material-dry elk, with the
very softest Of kid uppers. These
are made for me. not by a fash
ionable shoemaker but by an old
Italian cobbler in New York's
Ghetto.
THE parasoi I carry I use as a
balance. This parasol must be
weighted to the fraction of an
ounce and has to be very care
fully shaped. Even a slight
twist in the bambo handle Of the
parasol makes them worthless for
balance. They are made Of paper
and I am quite apt to need q
new one every night. My dress
can only weigh so much and
must be made to leave the shout
der, waist, leg and arm muscles
free. The spotlight Is SO ar
ranged that it strikes me but is
so adjusted my eyes can't catch
the glare from the light. While
I am dancing on the wire, all
the doors back stage, must be
closed against currents Of air
and any noise affects the wire
Immediately with vibration.
IT have to eat at least three
hours before dance on the
wire-or else go hungry, until my
performance is over. There is
really as much mental as physical
work in dancing on a wire be-
cause it keeps one guessing all
the time. OF course wire work is
second nature to me now. I was
only three years old when my
father Dyke Millman first put
me on a wire, just for fun. but
the joke was on him." concluded
Miss Millman because I thought
it such fun that ] couldn't stay
off after my first adventure and
was a full fledged performer
when I was eight years old"

Once more in line brave soldiers
stand,
The veteran band who wore the
gray,
Grasping in fellowship each hand,
And greetings give this happy day.
Though years have flown three
score and more,
Since clasped the hands then strong
and well,
Call back those years; read once
more,
Those battlefelds; give the rebel
yell
Now starry eve or morning sun
When Confederate colors floated
here
More brightly shone on, victories
won,
You rent the air with many a cheer.
That banner still is proudly borne,
The Stars and Bars, our Southland
pride
Symbol of veterans SCARED and
worn,
Emblem of heroes true and tried.
Glory to them each one and all
Now history on her scroll of fame,
For the valiant hosts who answered
the call
Enrolls each heroes act and name,
Written for the Confederate Reun-
ion at Richmond June, 1922.
