strains of Chopin's Funeral
March," admirably expressed.
In bachanalle by Rimsky-
Korsakow the alenfs of every
member of the organization were
put to the test and was rem
dered to splendid effect, although
this appeared to be married to
some extent by the apparent in
ability Of the orchestra to
achieve a tempo sufficiently rapid
for the almost furious action es-
sential for an adequate interpre-
tation. This number was per-
haps the high spot on the pro-
gram and Notwithstanding the
slight difficulty noted. was re-
ceiVeds with tremendous acclaim.
A novelty dance-narrative, '.The
Lost Paradise" to De Bussy's
music, interpreting through the
dance the fall of man in the
Garden Of Eden, was a thing Of
veritable beauty as brought out
by the Misses Gloria Redmon,
Gene Stewart and Alexia Bronte
and Mr.. Pemberton. The settings
were simply suggestive and with
the aid of most effective lightings
contributed much to the pleasure
and success of the offering.

tragedy off the Orient, also fea-
ture of the earlier presentation,
exotic In its beauty, formed the
concluding number of the pro-
gram, although the audience was
plainly loath to go. MISS Red
mon and Mr.. Pemberton were the
principals, while other solo parts
were interpreted by Gene Stewart,
Marie Wyatt, William Cunning

Rego with the Misses Glover,
Hoover, Hughes, lie Merle, Red

Broadsky, Ambla, Harter, Rob-

Marshall, Lacy and Watts in the
supporting roles.
BY this presentation, artistic
in the extreme, Pemberton has
reached a point which Washing

bright spots and he, in fact,
threatens to soon become an In

ALL In FUN IS
OFFERING AT
GAYETY

In Fun" q so-caIled musical
fantasy, written and produced by
Barney Gerard, is this weeks at
traction at the Gayety and large
numbers of burlesque devotees
were on hand last night to laugh
at the drolleries of the comedians
and to enjoy the various musical
offerings. While the vehicle is
the same used by another pair of
comedians in a former season, it
has lost none of its brightness. and
lie the present comedians do not
enjoy the vogue of their predeces-
sors in the roles of Slitkin and
Slotkin, refined lawyers" they
managed to extract q lot of laughs
from q good-natured audience.
Will Fox and Harry Koler are
the funsters of the show, and they
got away to flying start. Anna
Propp, half pint in size, but a
wonder at dancing, was given a
rousing reception, while Ada Lum
won favor with her song numbers.
Eddie Green, a colored boy, put
over a nifty dancing number, while
Bobby Irwin and Jack Murray
have a unique whistling act that
pleased. Others in the company
include Matty White, Moni
Kalama, Nell Hall and Jack Nc
Sorley.
Gerard his picked his chorus
with care and it proved one Of the
mainstays of the performance.

OF HISTORY

TINE opening Of Little Old New
l. York" next Sunday at the
Rialto Theater, will reveal the aris-
tocracy Of the metropolis Of a CEN
fury ago, ancestors of many Of the
most noted families in society to-
day.
For this film is historical. The
characters are largely personages
who became famous in the period
of the play. They are shown In
their homes and offices. in their
pleasures and recreations, just as
they lived more than q century
ago.
The John Jacob Aston, who found
ed that famous line, is shown IN
his fur and piano shop In the ol9
town, close-figuring, shreWd anu
ultra conservative trader, with 4
boundless faith in the value OF CITY
real estate. He was no idealist, the
records show, and the picture does
not idealize him. He made mis-
takes. One of those was SCORING
at Robert Fulton's invention OF the
steamboat, and OF this attitude Inc
plot of the play turns sharply.
In the story, Marion Davies as
Patricia ODay, wins the merchant
traders respect by investing her
FUNDS through him, but when she
let's her heart dominate her head
and backs the ''Clermont," he loses
talth and patience together.
The picturesque, idling, lovaple
poet, Fitz Green Halleck, saunters
through the film, too, oddly out OF
place in the commercial environ
ment. Cornelius Vanderbilt, foun-
DER OF that family, Is shown wax
ing wealthy on the profits of ms
Terry. Fulton himself, the youth

Robert E. Lee,' as
Seen BIZ Richmond

Some Of the objections
noted by Richmond historians
IN the play, Robert E. Lee:
The action In the Malvern
Hill battle hinged around Gen.
eral Stuart, who was not pres
emit during the battle. jackson
was not late for the battle as
brought out I'm the play.
Lee was not In Richmond
when General jackson died.
Stuart was alive at the hour
the author has his death an
nOunced.
Lee did not choose his
Petersburg position. Il was
forced upon him by Grants
thanking tactics, and Lee had
to build his Notifications there
rather than retreat behind pre-.
pared Notifications.
Among the most conspicuous
directOral faults were the fol-
lowing:
Lee was not bearded rs
represented and. his. hair was
not white when he left Wash
ingtOn to fight for the CON.
federacy. He grew his beard
and his hair turned white u
wear later.
Lee did not wear q saber
after 1861, and none Of the
Confederate officers wore sash
es except on dress parade. I'm
the play they wore them iii
battle.
Lee never shouted his COM
mands, or became excited in
battle. rs shown. The hotter
the fight, the cooler he was,
according to his staff officers.
His voice was not flat and
IifeIess, but In the middle
tones with distinct mobilization,
but without due emphasis.
Lee never allowed young en-.
listed men to hang around his
headquarters i'm informal ntti-
tudes. He was q soldier, even
though he was q kindly man
who would tease his young
officers on occasion and listen
to their complaints.

Stafford Pemberton, famous

Gertrude Hoffman. and other
stage celebrities and now a Wash

pupils combined at the President
Theater last night in presenting
one Of the most fascinating dance
programs that the Nations Capt.

perfection did 1t approach that it
is, indeed, difficult to believe the
programs testimony to the effect
that the majority of the particle
pants have been under instruc-
ton for few months only.
The program consisted Of seven
individual group or solo numbers
and two more pretentious dance
dramas and served to bring out
the talents of every member. A

To help them in this coming campaign. they ] have secured the services of Miss Katherine Augusta Norris of Youngs- town, O. Ohio Is state of many suffrage campaigns, and Miss Nor ris was active in all of them. She says:
 T have always been interested in public questions. As child I used to hear them discussed at home. My sister and I were encouraged to take part in the discussions. Then when grew older, and saw how much beauty and interest there is in the | world, saw, too, how much there is that is ugly, miserable, and cramped, I began to wonder. Gradually, 1 came to realize that many questions and problems that seemed far re- moved from politics were in the last analysis public problems. That's why l the League of Women Voters was formed, and that's why I am here: We want to get all the citizens of this great republic interested in pub l lie questions, to inform themselves about them and to take their part in the corporate life of the community the state and the nation.
 Tn the presidential election of 1920. 4e per cent of the possible voters reg i stered their opinions at the poles, continued Miss Norris. That means of course. that in a country where disfranChisement for crime obtains more than half the cities chose to dlsfranchise themselves. We are set ting as our aim 75 per cent of the voters in 1924, making the voters a step nearer to what we claim to be a real democracy The national con- vention of the League of Woman oVters will be held in Baltimore in April to make and stimulate interest toward this end. We hope to have a bonafide delegate from every one of l the congressional districts present"
 Miss Norris will be one of the i speakers at the call meeting of the i league Tuesday afternoon at the Hillman hotel at the league head quarters. A full attendance Is re- quested, as Miss Norris talk will be very helpful and interesting. MT. James Davis will also make talk at this time.
