 THE TIGER ROSE
LenOre UIric Star Of Play Which Made Success

 But it is a long road that has no ending, and now the Strand theatre announces that Tiger Rose" is going to play for the entire week beginning Monday, April A.
 1t was in the original stage play that LenOre Ulrie really rose to great fame as Tiger Rose" the wildcat child of the primitive nOrthland, and for two years, night after night. she played tS capacity audiences on Broadway In this play she proved herself nm actress of the highest calibre. and well earns the title of David BelascO's greatest star For another year the play traveled about the country showing st the principal cities and meeting with a success only eqnalled by its rum in New York city
 According to all indications. the screen version promises to be a great improvement over the stage play. this ybeing due to the far greater possibilities afforded the camera nm PA0tOgraphIng the immense and beautiful outdoors the wild and virgin woodlands stretch ing out as far ss the eye can see until it seems to meet the sky m the pur- pie horizon
 In Tiger ROse.- she plays a part that permits her 10 rum the entire ga- nut of human ezA0tiOns, from the fear less child of the woods on into the Wom- ans land of romance where her heart is frayed and beaten by circumstances beyond her control She lives and fights in world of men and in the end she attains her goal and comes out triumphant.

 "The Marriage Maker" was adapted by Clara Beranger from Edward Knob locks play, The Faun," in which Will liam Faversham starred for several years. It is delightful cOmedy-drama and a startlingly unusual picture It has for its central situation the ad- ventures of a mysterious being. human yet almost like a faun, which comes to live among a group of civilized and sophisticated persons. This faun knows only the elemental instincts of love, hate, fear and the like and is little more than an animal in his simplicity

 Bright Lights of Broadway" the screen feature of this week, is said to be the fastest moving and most intense story of life, as it is lived on New York's great White Way.

And it is against this most colorful background that the major portion of the tale transpires.

The states attorney for Prince
Georges county, after the recent clos.
ing Of three over-the-line gambling
places and arrest of men charged
with operating them, said that there
would be no truce between the county
officers and operators of vicious re.
sorts. While the cases against the
alleged proprietors Of the places lately
closed are pending. the states attor.
ney announces that he plans gen.
eral cleanup Of gambling and boot.
Logging in Prince Georges county.
This declaration is in line with the
weight Of sentiment in his county.
When he says that he intends to
clean up bootlegging in the county
he makes a big promise. which the
vast majority of people in the District
and in southern Maryland hope he
will be able to keep. From arrests
made in the District it would appear
that much Of the whisky brought to
Washington is distilled in isolated
places in southern Maryland, and a
great deal of whisky manufactured
farther away must be transported
through Prince Georges and Mont.

FavOrs Pension Raise
Measure Before Senate
To the Editor Of The Star;

To the Editor Of Tho Star:
Senator Bursum .has introduced a
bill in the Senate which provides for
an increase OF the veterans pension
from $50 a month to s72 a month.
Widows from sixty to seventy four
years Of age would be increased from
$50 to S35, and widows seventy-four
years Of age and over would get in
creased from sac to $45 Is not this
most reasonable legislation, when we
consider that the cost of living has
increased since 1917 from SO to. 100
per cent?
Nothing should be too good for
and vaIfantly the sufferings and the
battles OF the civil war to preserve
the integrity OF this great Union.
Their number is relatively small. The
increased appropriation necessary to
$35 and $45, according to their ages.
would be Insignificant compared with
other government expenditures.
A nation rises to the heights Of
sublimity when it looks with loving
care after the needs of it's honored
defenders. This government paws to to
the widows OF its Presidents a pen-
sion of $4,000 year and such legisla-
ton is to be commended. Can it not
also afford to pay $35 or $45 a month
(according to the age) to the widows
of those glorious warriors who fought
and bled that this republic-the era
die of liberty and the dream of the
idealist-might live?
God grant that the legislators of
this great democracy will throw off
their !ethargy and pass the Bursum
bill without further delay.

hospitals, and in the training camps

tional anthem.
While millions. OF men were singing
"Tipperary" few knew who wrote It.
And nobody cared particularly. It was
a handy tune, easily learned, easily
sung. and SO by one Of those rare
chances 1t came to be the~war song
OF England, almost the "Marseillaise. -
1t had no meaning whatever as to the
war, for 1t was written in peace time
as just a concert hall tune. and the
author was OF no Importance.
1t is now announced from London
that the writer Of "Tipperary" has
just died. He was Henry James Will
hams, a Birmingham man. He was a
cripple, and song writing was his
means OF making @ living. His con.
tribution to British war.making was
his foolish song. Now that he is dead
his name will be for a little while
rial is erected to him it will soon be
forgotten. He was no Rouget de Lisle
whose name is to Frenchmen almost
sacred as the author Of "The Marseil-
laise," or Francis Scott Key, who
wrote "The Star Spangled Banner" !"
Just a song writer! But he unques.
tionably did his bit for England, un-
consciously but effectively. perhaps a
bigger bit than If he had tried to write
a war song.

The Park Lands Bill,

The bill for the purchase of Klingle
and Piney Branch valleys and the Pat
terson tract, in order that they may
be added to the park system Of Wash
ington, will go before Congress with a
favorable report by the House District
committee. The special subcommittee
named to examine the tracts, with a
view to their usefulness as park lands
and the particular desirability Of the
K1ingle and Piney Branch tracts in
supplementing Rock Creek Park and
furnishing additional east and west
entrances to that park, found the stu
alton to be as citizens know it, and as
they have repeatedly represented it to
Congress. The subcommittee made q
favorable report on the project, and
the full committee has given It's ap-
proval to the measure.
1t is agreeable to record that an
other and an important step has been
taken toward adding the small and
relatively cheap lands of Klingle and
Piney Branch valleys to Rock Creek
Park and toward preserving the Pat
terson tract to the people of the Dis
trict and giving much-needed park
to the fast-growing northeast section
Of the city. The considerations which
weighed with the subcommittee and
the full committee ought also to carry
weight with the House OF Representa-
tives, and the prospect is hopeful that
these lands will be taken over for per.
pet1lal public use. -

An Actors Strike Threatened,

Twelve hundred actors assembled
yesterday in theaters in New York
and, with only two dissenting votes,
adopted resolution to the effect that
after June l next no member Of the
Actors Equity Association shall per-
form service for any manager in
any company unless each member of
the company is and continues to be
in good standing in the membership Of
the association. This resolution is the
answer Of the organized actors to
twenty-seven managers who last week
declared that they would not submit
to Equity shop" but at the expiration
Of the present contract on the LIST Of
June would recruit their companies as
they saw fit, regardless OF member
ship. The fight is for the open shop
on the part of the managers and the
closed shop on the part of the actors.
Equity" as it is popularity known
in the profession, is the outgrowth of
struggle by the actors Of this coun-
try covering several years for better
terms of engagement and better work
ing conditions on the stage. The pres.
ent contract with Equity" which ex.
pires on June /, grants to the per.
formers certain concessions in the
matter Of rehearsal pay and guarantee
Of employment, also with reference to
costume expenses. In former times
an actor might rehearse for six weeks
nnJx %<
have the show "blow" within a fort
night, thus getting only two weeks
pay for eight weeks work. Under the
Equity contract the actor gives serv-
ices free for part Of the rehearsal
period and is paid for part, and is as
sured a certain minimum Of salary
after the opening Of the show.
More than two months and a half
will elapse before the expiration Of the
contract, and however strenuous and
uncompromising are the declarations
Of the two sides now it is quite prob
able that settlement will be made.
The managers have expensive leases
to carry, and in order to avert heavy
losses must continue to put on shows.
The actors have no other means Of
support than professional engage
ments, and in order to live must con-
tinue to work at their calling. So it is
to the interest of both sides to 60 on
with the show business. True, the ac-
tors in the Legitimate" may find en-
ployment in the pictures" which is
the professional name for what the
public knows as the movies, but even
there also there is congestion, which,
after all, is the real cause Of the trou.
BILE in the stage world. There are, in
truth, more actors than parts, and, as
a matter Of fact, more managers than
plays-that is, plays worth while.

WHAT IS-GOOD
CITIZENSHIP?
BY JOHN CARLYLE

Somebody asks What Is good ciu-
zenship? What is a good citizen?
Volumes might be written in reply. or
the answer might be made very sim
pie. -: tr'1 80 - "a
Suppose We answer it briefly, in
A-B-C fashion, In the frst place. a
good citizen Is one who has learned
to co-operate. Civilizations must be
very old before men learn to cooper
ate. Primitive man was, first OF all,
an individualist He thought Of no.
body but himself. He was not inter-
as he could prey upon another man
for the three requisites of savage
life-food, clothing and shelter.
It required a process of centuries
before men learned to Cooperate at
very much about 1t.
The good citizen is the man who
mas learned. the most about .co-opera-
tion and practices it the most faitA
IulIy. It is the most advanced form
highest degree of civilization. It de-
mands high intelligence.
In the second place. a good citizen
is seif-sacrifcing. He has come
nnally to learn the truth that is fun
damental. though IT. is the bit of
slowly and with the greatest difficult
ty. He has learned that, despite in
stinct-, itself. his interests and his
comfort and his pleasure and his
very life are not Of prime Importance,
but only OF relative Importance.
That Is a hard lesson to learn-so
hard that most men and women live
and die without ever learning 1t at
all. But the good citizen has learned
1t.
In the third place, a good citizen
has cultivated and acquired charm
In personal relationships He has
come to believe and to act on the
belief that courtesy, kindness. for
bearance. thoughtfulness are not the
mere super1uities Of life. He has
come to believe that they are funda-
The good citizen realizes that after
all the greatest of life's problems
are not state, or national. or interna-
tional. They are personal relation
ships. Thus he acquires charm, which
enables him to have wide influence
and to be useful.
This, then. is my answer to the
question: What is a good citizen? He
strives ever to cooperate. He sacri-
fices himself. He has charm.
