And now word from the extreme
northwestern point of these United
States, the great commonwealth of
Washington. in which, according to
Col. c. Il. Blethen, owner-editor of tho
Seattle Times, the whole of New Eng
land could be lost in the wilderness.
Meeting the newspaper man as he
was leaving the Hotel Washington to
lunch with President Coolidge, he tar
iled long enough to say that never since
ne migrated there in 1896 had WASH
ington enjoyed such marvellous nros
perity as now.
Our factories, and we have many of
them, are running three shifts a day,"
said Col. Blethen, as his eyes denoted
joy. I'VE mine our own coal, our wheat
fields as well as our apple orchards are
the greatest in the world, and crops
have been of the bumper order. Then,
100, our woolen mills-oh, yes. Wash
ington has wooden mills-are going fuIl
speed, while our small fruit crops. farm
,iairy products, cattle, poultry and egg
industries have all been of unprece-
dented proportions"
Touching on the political situation.
Col. Blethen said that his paper was
strictly independent, that it had sup
ported Mr.. Harding and might do the
same for President Coolidge. He was
positive that Hiram Johnson had little
or no following in Washington, which,
nc said, was standpat conservative re-
publican at heart. He thought the
Presidents message would do much to
solidify a sentiment for him that had
grown from anticipation of Il continu-
ance of the conservative policies ad-
vocated by his predecessor.
Whatever defections Mr.. Coolidge may
suffer from his stand on the bonus will
nc more than offset by the addition of
those who favor his course" added the
editor Is he started for the White
House. THE MINER.

deaf mute and that he can not hear
the music to which he dances with
so much ease and accuracy.
Generally 1 deplore such conditions,
but in this case must admit that he
is an exception to the rule. Marvel
has ability as a dancer and does not
rely for sympathy for his aff1iction to
gain applause.
Marvel is assisted by several girls
who dance well together. The act is
nicely mounted. Jane Overton is an
other featured member of the act.
Bordner and Boyer open the bill
with an acrobatic act in which one
of the men does a complete loop the

necessary to make an entirely salts
factory revue. There Is no outstand-
ing personality. Everybody plays
his part adequately and blends the
performance into one perfect whole.
1t is hard to tell where to begin in
describing this particular follies. 1t
would be impossible to undertake a
discussion Of the many scenes, twenty
four of them, lasting until nearly
go o'clock.
In the first place. there are
couple of women in the show who
can sing. They are Julia Silvers and
Dorothy Neville. There are even
more people who can dance, including
Carl Randall, who is leading man, II
there is such a thing in this show,
Marjorie Peterson. Maize Clifton and
Billie De Rex, Ula Sharon, and
Louis end Frieda Berkoff. That is
quite an aggregation for one show.
Then there are those who are
funny, which must again include Miss
Clifton and Miss De Rex, in addition
to Ethel Davis, John Sheehan, Billie
Chase and George Christie.
Now, as to the scenes. One or

the funniest is domestic comedy
skit in which Ethel Davis plays the
leading part. 1t ends with the nus
band shooting the wife, but the
circumstances is prevented from being
unreal by the title, "They Never Do"
Jane and Katherine Lee, better
known as the Lee kids, do clever
bit Of acting ranging from the
ridiculous to the fearful. Maize Cliff
ton and Billie De Rex are a scream
with their comedy dance.
One of the most beautiful things in
the whole revue is a scene called 1.-THE
Nightingale and the Rose" adapted
from the story by Oscar Wilde. This
scene is filed with beauty and poetry,
both of words and of motion. The
dancing of Miss Peterson is a faa-
ture. Life Among the Advertise
ments" gets back to comedy. Here
we see our old friends from the pages

al AIN Street comes to life again.
lM The old street is found in
I'll Caesar Dunn's new comedy in
three acts, "A King for a Day." which
saw the light of the world at Eng
hsh's last night.
1t was quite proper that Indina-
apoHs and English's Theater should
be- the scene Of the first showing of
this new play on any stage because
Gregory Kelly is the Main Street shoe
clerk who finds a pot, of gold at the
end of a rainbow. Also because Grace
in the cast.
Now let US consider first what Dunn
has done in "A King for a Day" He
does not poke fun at Main Street nor
does he make funny paper characters
out Of those who walk the old street.
He tells a little story of small town
shoe clerk who thinks he is going to
inherit a million dollars when his
cranky old uncle dies, but Unlike de-
cides not to kick the bucket, so to
speak. This leaves the shoe clerk in
a terrible condition because ne had
purchased a Packard automobile. a
diamond reckless, a diamond ring and
dress suit, including a silk hat and
a cane on the condition that an under
taker was to visit uncle soon.
It is no easy task to take away a
diamond reckless and a ring from
the girl a fellow loves and it is in
deed rather delicate subject for a
chap to be commanded TO hand over
at once the dress suit he is wearing
at a party not to even mention the
cane and the silk hat
But then, of course. the shoe clerk
goes back to the shoe store. He be-
comes wealthy when a shoe patent
suddenly takes on real value. It
also develops that uncle is a good
scout after all when he discovers
that his bad temper is due to a bad
beginning in love.
