day have his name in the Broadway
electric lights.
Accordingly, when Director Geo.
Henry Trader and Production Man
ager Garry McGarry of the Garrick
Players decided that Edward Trus-
helm had the personality and the
talents to play parts with this pro-
fessional company. it caused more
than an average thrill at Western
High.
Trusheim was the first of the
school actors to attempt the pro-
fession as a livelihood. Trusheim
appeared and made good from the
start. So good. in fact. that Tom
Wise, veteran actor, chose him az
once for the second comedy role in
"Cappy Ricks," a real part. one
which called for knowledge, of
subtle comedy. of more froliesome
the line to burlesque.
In the current performance of
Three Wise Fools" Trusheim has
been given another important as
signment and his Western High
friends are certain he win add to
his laurels.

VAN AND SCHENCK
CAN PLAY GAMES
OTHER THAN MUSIC

Van and Schenck are not only
headliners in their particular line

prowess that few have been aware
of.
In every city in which they ap-
pear. when the weather is favor
able. Van and Schenck are early out
to practice with the baseball twirl-
ers. That Is how they came TO
adopt the title of "The Pennant-
Winning Battery of Songland.'
Both are products of the high
ways and byways Of New York and
there, as In every great city, base
oall is king. Even in those days,
and they are somes distance away
despite their apparent youth. Van
and Schenck were buddies. and
then and there formed a partner
ship for their stage career.
Along with baseball came pro-
hciency In other games and in box

cles Van and Schenck have become
master hands. 1t takes all the
physical strength they can garner
in exercise to Offset the racking
effect Of their stage stunts of song
and smile. Both are married and
find in their families the relaxation
they need after the day and nights
work Is DONE. It's no fun to. be a
popular performer and Van and
Schenck handle themselves as a
business proposition.

even before consideration as to their

Startling as II may seem. there are
actually more than sixty different
kinds of emotional expressions used

Mr.. Loew Plans a Party
For All City's Orphans
Youngsters Will Throng Columbia on Three
Mornings to See Story They
Can Appreciate.

1t is safe to assume that no pho
toplay production offered in Wash
ington in recent months has
aroused half the discussion among
local welfare workers as has been
aroused by Louis Burston's story
of orphan life, "Forget-Me- Not,
. which begins an engagement at
Loew's Columbia this afternoon.
This Is due to the fact that the
management of Loew's Columbia.
under direct instructions. from
Marcus Loew, the theater magnate.
screened a special showing of For
get-Me-Not" last Wednesday night
for the pastors and civic workers
of Washington exclusively.
Two days previously, Mr.. Loew
addressed an invitation to every
pastor in Washington, with similar
Invitations to the officers and staffs
Of every orphan asylum in the city.
II was the unanimous opinion of
all present that "Forget-Me-Not."
aside from its entertainment quail
ties as a photoplay production,
would do more to arouse public Ia
terest in the pathetic lot of the
Orphans any
employed for this purpose in re-
cent years.
Mr.. Loew has set aside the morn
ing performances of tomorrow.
Tuesday and Wednesday as occa-
sions on which the children of
all the orphan asylums of WASH
ington will be brought to the
Columbia as the guests Of Mr..
Loew. Arrangements have been
made to bring the children to the
theater and to return them to the
orphanages after the performance.
Walter Brownley. the confectioner,
is so deeply interested in the project
that he has undertaken to provide
each of the children with gift OF
candy after the show and all in all,
the engagement is one for rejoicing
among the parentless children of
the city.
