WASHINGTON, April 2.--The &C., ton of the farm loan board today in calling of the 1918 issue of land bank bonds for retirement was ac- cepted as foreshadowing an early issue of pew bonds at a lower rate tf interest than the 5 per cent rate carried by the obligations which are to be retired.

In the Same old pie-hurling

this movement with his produc-

reel vehicle he has ever made.
Chaplin. no doubt. was spurred
to this epochal achievement By
the tremendous strides toward >

Harold Lloyd was making about
that time. Lloyd had buclSied
down to the production of .

which Bebe Daniels was leading

sisters-ene drug addict and the
other prominent in society-find
their lives crossed in tragic fash
ION.
A reflex of the awakened public
conscience on this question is
seen in the fact that Miss Wanda
Lyon is accepting the dual role Of
the play in Washington after re-
fusing to play it on Broadway
when it was offered her two
years ago.
At that time, Miss Lyon be-
heVed that the unfamiliarity of
the public with the question Of
drug addiction was so complete
that only professional harm could
come to her from accepting the
part, and she declined it. Madse
Kennedy was later chosen to play
it, and it was she who scored the

RECALL SOUNDED
FOR LAVISH
PIECES
Dillingham; and ZiegfeId Both
Retrench Of Productions
Similar in Size to "Good
Morning, Dearie."

TLoRENz zIEGFELD. who
has been spending a for
n tune yearly to glorify the
American girl with his Fol
hes"-and making two fortunes in
the process. has called a halt on
lavish expenditure. Producers all
along the line are retrenching, so
1t would seem that the big reviews
now on view viii be the last Of
their kind.
Good Morning Dearie," which
comes to the National tonight and
sally" are probably the apex of
musical comedy production, for
both Charles Dillingham; and Flor
enz Ziegfeld have announced that
they win never again attempt
musical comedies on such Law
ish scale. OF course, the great
success of these two shows has
made them profitable, but the risk
involved is too great and the diff
ficulty of keeping the principal
players together in one company
for two and three years is another
drawback.
Coed Morning Dearie" employs
over 100 persons. It carries three
carloads of scenery and effects,
and is compelled to move by spe-
cial train on practically all of its
railroad jumps. The original cost
of a big musical show :. is enor-
nous. and on top of that the up
keep has to be reckoned. Dur
the time that Good Morning
Dearie" has been playing the
wardrobe department has pur-
chased 1900 pairs of dancing slip
pers and the chorus girls have
been equipped with 1900 pairs Of
silk stocks.
To keep the wardrobe always
spic and span it is necessary to
have the dresses dry cleaned,
feathers curled and clothing press
ed every week. This work has all
ready amounted to many thous.
ands- OF dollars. Some Of the cos
tunes have been replaced four
times because the strenuous dane.
