Keith's Current
Bill One Round
of Super QuaIt,

nUTH ROVE accepted the
* hardest spot in an allAqual-
~ ity bill at Keith's last night
and bowed off after a neat little
speech with the applause triumph
of the evening. Following two
singing acts of real merit is no
sineCure for an entertainer whose
major effort is vocal, but diminu-
tive Ruth had the songs with the
syncopated punch, and her admir-
able appreciation of comedy values
enabled her to work up a ground
swell of genuine appreciation. A
100 per cent hit!
Peggy Wood radiates class and
the singing novelty she has worked
up for vaudeville Is an artistic and
melodious gem. Peggy is assisted
by a nifty looking quintet of males
with real voices, and they blended
ideally with the repertoire OF old
time favorites and musical comedy
numbers the star offered. The
response she awakened was worthy
of her headline prominence.
How Flo Ziegfeld ever overlooked
the Wells, Virginia and West act
when scanning the amusement
world for dancing talent is mys-
terry. The youth of the trio is
super-stepper, who begins where
the other dancers leave off and
goes through a routine Of terpsi-
Chore that stops the show and then
some. Among the newest and
best dancing teams.
Kate Gilmore and Sam Williams
rang up the laughs consistently in
their comedy ConCeit, Wanted, 4
Cook" But for old times sake
clever Kate ought to write. wire or
radio to friend Jim Madison for a
new two-minute encore.

register George lie Marie and his
company in AT the Dentis:'s'

cradle but sure fire. and last night
the reaction on a cultured audience
was such IL was u continuous gale
of laughter.
Gertrude Moody and Mary Dun
can clown and sing their way
through to a series Of well-earned
bows, and Jack Hanley mixes his
juggling with a good line Of panto-
mime comedy to provide a first
class opening act.
Lovers OF music will find the
performance OF Victoria Amatl,
mistress OF the cello, distinctly
worth while
All in all. one of the season q

Members of the Detroit Board OF
Education have taken up opposite
camps in debate on this question.

pupils in some Of the City's public
schools bathe in the swimming pool

from a telegram received from
Dover yesterday.
II the removal Of Sumner and
Childs from the accounts and super

Dover is also credited with the
disavowal Of any controversy be-
tween himself and Internal Reve-
there has been much talk in the
past two months.
From the official angle, the Dover
telegram seems to close an affair
that has threatened to cause serious
disruptions in the Treasury. AS
far as Sumner is concerned, his
last word is probably contained in a
statement issued by him last night
In which he charged that the bureau

Glen Echo Park is
Bright Rendezvous

PEGINNING Saturday evening
~ an continuing through to
night, Glen Echo Park has been
entertaining its hOpiday crowds and
never in the history OF this popular
resort has the attendance been go
large Just previous to Memorial
Day. The management of the park
has arranged everything with pre-.
CiSiOn to take care Of the MemOr-
ial Day crowds expected TO visit
the park today. On account OF the
one-day holiday that some Wash
ingtOnianS had yesterday, hun
dreds of amusement seekers began
gathering early today. The crowd
was there to be entertained, and as
a result the park employees had
strenuous day, as all OF the amuse-
mcnt devices were kept busy. With
the coaster and dip heading the
popularity list. everything has it's
share Of attention.
one OF the gathering places
was the midway of fun, which,
with its added feature of "ROl-
licking Pigs" was filled early and
late with Jolly crowds who seemed
to enjoy every fun provided in
the big building. The weather was
ideal for dancing, and the dancing
set was out in full force. The ball
room at Glen Echo this season has
already become headquarters for
the better element of the Capitol'5
dancing set, and yesterday the
floor was filled from the start un-
til closing time. The Jazz testers"
as the Glen Echo Orchestra is
known, made a big hit with the
dancers and gave them the jazziost
of Jazz with all the trimmings.

SAYS Prohibition Has Made More Men
Thirsty Than All The Pretzels in
The Country.
BY John P. Medbury

These fellows work on a com.
mission basis. You can't bake
pretzels on a straight salary.
This baking concern also makes
pretzels in the shape of fish. The
idea Is to eat fish and then drink
like one.
You can also buy pretzels In the
form Of animals. With the stuff
you have to drink nowadays this
Is the only way you can see any.
A man used to be able to get a
few animals with every drink, but
now he has to buy his menaSerte
on the side.
The advantage in a pretzcl
menagarie Is that you know just
what wild beasts you're going TO
see.
Some men used to see so many
pink elephants and blue mOnke"s
that they almost went crazy. A
lot of guys got rid of them by Civ
ing up drink, but others wore
amber glasses.
When you see a man taking a
box Of these alphabetical pretZels
into his house you don't know
whether he's u bOOtlegger or
grammarian.
These pretzels are supposed 20
make you want a drink, but pro
hibition has made more men
thirsty than all the pretZels tE the
country.

ldNOIlle, bdNOTS strung
ly, in the hands of the Garrick
Players, of the spirit that moved
to amazing success the original
company's production of last and
several preceding seasons.
Admittedly a comedy of tenn.
perament," II is a vehicle that
further brings out the wide YER
satility of the Garrick Players.
Earle Fox, as Gerald Fitzgerald,
has the fastidious ease, drollery
and always the crowning dash OF
cynicism requisite to the ideal
matinee hero. Mr.. Foxe found
his talents peculiarly suited to the
part of madame's husband.
Wanda Lyon in the title role,
under circumstances that invite
comparison with Gilda Varesi's
madame on the same boards last
season, suffers little from con-
trast; this in spite of the fact that
Miss Varesi was a veteran Of
several hundred performances In
the part of the operate star.
True, Miss Lyon does not sue
ceed in bringing her madame
quite SO near to middle age as
was intended, but one who saw
both productions is reluctant to
admit that this in any way de-
tracts. Fact is, Miss Lyons
exotic youth and superior histri-
onic ability made one of the bright
spots in the play. Ada Meade
was ideally cast as maid to
madame.
Gerald Oliver Smith contributed
his usual quota of sparklinl
comedy. Not naturally fitted for
the role of neurotic Italian chef
which he assumed, the success OF
divers rendition might be CLEANED
from the amount of applause he
received. He is very near to
perfect stock comedian.
At the Garrick next week
William Harrigan, first Of a series
OF visiting stars at the Shubert
house, will take the leading part
in The Acquittal," a mystery
play. 1t has already won packed
houses and commendation through
three full seasons.

Statistics show that there are
thousands Of illiterate people in
the United States, but some OF
the large bakeries are helping to
educate them by baking alpha
beticaI pretZels.
Several college professors have
left the universities and are busy
twisting pretzels into the Eng
lish language.
It's only in the last few
months that the bakeries have
been hiring men of letters.
These alphabetical pretzels will
help teach men to talk while
they're drinking.
Still, when a man drinks he
usually talks too much anyway.
And he doesn't need any baker
to twist his words for him.
A French baker started MAX
ing these American alphabets
and they were coming out OF
the oven with an accent.
Some Of the pretZels are so
small that the guy who baked
them must have been tongue
tied.
And others are so out OF shape
that the guy who made them
probably suffered.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First - Don't Delay. Second =
Don't Experiment

If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; if you
rest poorly and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in ap-
pearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especi-
ally prepared for kidney trouble.
They are recommended by thous-
ands. Can Paris residents desire
more convincing proof of their eff
fectiveness than the statement of a
Paris citizen who has used them and
willingly testifies to their worth?
Mrs. ]. N. Reynolds, 255 Winches-
ter street, Paris, says: 81 have
found Doan's Kidney Pills to do me
more good than any remedy I have
ever used and recommend them
highly. I suffered from rheumatic
pains and kidney trouble. I could
always tell when the weather was
going to change as my limbs be-
came painful. I got dizzy especially
when first got up in the morning
and my kidneys were not acting
regularly. I was not long in getting
relief after began using Doan's
Kidney Pills and felt better in every
way after taking them"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Reynolds had. Foster

BLUEGRASS SEED POOL IS AS
SURED

The Bluegrass Seed Growers Co.
operative Association, which was
formally launched in Lexington sew
eral weeks ago, has made contract
with several cleaning firms, among
them Spears & Sons, Brent & Co.,
j. S. Wilson & Bro, Paris; David
Guy, of Winchester, and Peppard &
Co., of Missouri, to clean and store
the 1922 crop of blue grass seed, &C
cording to announcement made by a
member of the organization.
Attorney Dwight L. Pendleton, of
Winchester, drew the contract for
the new association, which modelled
after the Burley Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association contract
and in accord with the provisions of
the Bingham law, and reports from
the blue grass producing counties
are to the effect that it is being gen.
orally signed by the growers of Ken
lucky and Missouri. More than 60
per cent. Of the growers it is stated
have already signed for the contract
which insures the success Of the
pool. The new contract calls for a
directorate of twelve members and
an executive committee of five mem
bers, which now have control of the
machinery set in motion for the
pooling and marketing of the seed

HE'LL TO PAY IF MAN GIVES
WAY TO WOMAN

Taking Paul's first epistle to
Timothy as his guide, Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, leader of the Zionist sect at
Zion, ILL.,, denounced women Sena-
tors, or. women in Office of any kind,
whereby she has authority over
man. Quoting, "but 1 suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp au-
thority over the man, but to be in
silence" Voliva says:
IF there is any place on Gods
earth that a woman ought not to be
it is in the United States Senate. I
am opposed to a woman running for
any office. The word of God fore
tells that in the days of decadence
the nations will be ruled by women
and children. God Almighty never
made woman the head of a house.
Whenever woman usurps the
mans place you will have He'll TO
pay! If my wife ran for Office I
would run for the lake."

BEBE DANIELS IN "THE SPEED
= GIRL

Every kind Of speed-on a side
walk scooter, On horseback, in fast
motor cars on land, in faster planes
in the airs used to illustrate the
theme of Bebe Daniels newest Real
art picture. "The Speed Girl" by
Elmer Harris, which comes to The
Alamo and Grand Thursday after
noon and night.
Fortunately, the feature has for
its star one of the most versatile
girls in pictures. Miss Daniels has
been brought up an outdoor girl.
Dedicated from her youth to the
business of entertaining the public,
she has had to learn to ride. to drive
car, to dive, swim, shoot, fish and
play ever sort of game.
''Ie is the age of speed" says Miss
Daniels. 'In their entertainment,
their sports, their business, even in
their love affairs, it seems the Amer
lean, man. woman and child de-
mands ever swifter pace. Make
it snappy-get there!' is the univer-
sal cry"

HOW AND WHY, NOT WHAT

Several young ladies who nightly
follow the profession of terpsichore-
ans were arrested the other after
noon for appearing on the Chicago
beach in one-piece bathing suits.
Before the court they offered the de-
tense of being no less properly garb-
ed than young women on the stage,
those engaged in aquatic contests or
those appearing on the screen.
This apparently sound defense is
based on false analogy. The
young ladies fail to make the dis
tinction between the impersonal &C
tivities of the stage, the athletic ne
cessities of the swimming tank and
too commonly ultra-personal charac-
ter of life at the beach. People go
to a show to see the performance,
they go to swimming race to
watch the competition, and they
should go to the beach to swim.
Plenty of persons before now have
pointed out that the important
thing is less what you wear than
how and why you wear it, and we
believe it so. The defense of the
young ladies in question was beside
the mark. They would have done
better to produce witnesses who
must have observed their excellent
behavior on the lake shore.
