to thousands and these thousands
laugh with and at the fun
presented. Well. I am will
ing to sit around and see
what it IS all about. Able has
hot appealed to the critics as a
general rule. You may put the
double curse on me for liking this
play, but I do like It with all of its
tons of hokum, human comedy all
dressed up iE theatrical attire.
Brand it as the worlds worst play.
if you Will. If this is the worlds
worst play. then let us have more Of
these human attempts to entertain.
But I am not going 10 admit that
Able" from a dramatic and play
writing standpoint. is the bunk. It
is theater, proper theater, with real
human touches. and it can be bought
without a blush on the face of the
customer.
Call it commercial theater. Call
it cheap, but the fact remains that
a 81 audience not only laughs, but
screams many times before the final
curtain. 1 howled and misbehaved
as if I had actually paid two bucks
plus war tax for my critical seat.
Able" has its place on the Ameri-
car stage. Just as "Lightnin' had.
Call one emotional bunk and the
other just bunk, if YOU desire. but
the fact remains that Able" is n
cure-all for the blues. Ny first in
PRODUCTION to Able" served me
I laughed. I screamed. I howled.
Call me over-enthusiastic. but see
it before you curse me. I believe the
curse viii melt into a smile.
Why a Success?
"Abie's Irish Rose is not an acct
dent in the theater. Anne Nichols
thought she had a success" even
after the New York critics dashed
gallons of cold water on It after the
first night. 1t is now in its 10th
week at the Republic Theater in
New York. Other companies are
presenting it in other cities.
When the public got wise to
Able" Anne Nichols was convinced
more than ever hat she had a sue
cess. Why do people go to the
theater? "Abie's Irish Rose" is one
reason. Another is "Lightnin'.'
Both speak a language we under
stand.
do not consider that Able" Is
poking fun at anybody. 1t is a hard
task TO mix a Jewish family and an
Irish ms but Anne Nichols does it.
She even s a Catholic priest

ance Of THE Clinging Vine is
quite as satisfying as that Of the
original company in every depart
ment, with the exception of dancing.
A little more frst-class dancing
would bring this stock production
very close to the Broadway stand
ard.
First honors for the acting must
go to Edith Bradford as the shin
~gle-bobbed grandma. Loretta Sher-
idan, in the Peggy Woods role of
the m~ake-believe "clinging vine"
was also splendid. George Shields
and Lee Daley are a pair Of anus
ing husbands. I am confused as to
which of these men played the bug
hunter" but to that one goes the
credit for much of the comedy and
an entertaining speciality.

MADAME is THE GOODS

MADAME is THE GOODS
The program reads: Mile. Ann
Codee.
No matter what language you
speak, French or not, you are going
to enjoy this woman and the mas
culine foil who assists her on her
merry way.
Madame is supposed to be French.
She talks like it anyway, but her
understanding of the theater is
mixed French and American.
She m out on the Palace
stage singing a French song. It's
hard to tell whether she is talking
French or mixed French. What
ever the language is you will laugh.
Their her male assistant appears.
He is to this act what a brick is to
a pavement. 1 expected this couple
to put on boxing gloves any minute.
Their fun may be a bit harsh at
times, but it has a new element in
it. The result is that Mile Codee
and the unprogramed man are the
hit of a good bill.
Racine and Ray r not light
weights. They admit their tons, %
poke fun at each other, sing and one
Of them dances. They please easily.
You have been looking for the
real article in a wire-walking act?
Then Wire and Walker will fill the
bill. Act is a credit to any bill at
any time Of the season. The ring
stunt Of Walker is a winner.
Sweet Sixteen" has the services
Of three men and three m Act
runs to dancing and singing. About
the average in this sort Of thing.
The Five Petleys close the bill

opinion being that it is the soundest

the valley and that if sufficient Op.

NEW YORK, Feb. 36.-The name
of former Attorney General Nit
chell Palmer has been brought into
the naval oil lease reserve contro-
NCrsv by Governor Clifford Pinchot
Of Pennsylvania. Pinchot, speak
ing before the Survey Associates,
Inc, here last night, said that lin
1920 Attorney General \. Mitchell
Palmer, without fight, turned over
$500,000,000 of oil lands from our
public domain to the Southern Pa
cific railroad.
Palmer refused to appeal to the
United States supreme court from

favorable to the Southern Pacific. -

LEADERS DEADLOCK OVER DAUGHERT
Cabinet Seeks
Vainly to Unite
Kn0tty Problem
ny United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.- For
the second time in two days, Re-
publican senate leaders this after
noon thwarted Democratic attempts
to begin % probe Of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's ADMINISTRATION whilo
President Coolidge and his cabinet
advisers sought vainly for solution
Of the curious situation during sew
eral conferences at the white house.
Immediately upon opening of the
senate session, Senator Robinson,
Democratic leader, asked for unan-
imous consent to take up Immediate
ly the Wheeler resolution authoriz-
ing y special committee to investi-
gate Daugherty's conduct Of the
justice department.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
promptly objected, so consideration
Of the resolution which was reported
favorably from the senate contin-
gent expenses committee today goes
over until tomorrow.
After the cabinet meeting ended
none of those participating in tho
deliberations would discuss what
had been taken up. Daugherty and
Secretary. OF War Weeks remained
with the President after the others
left. Weeks, it was recalled, was
the cabinet officer with whom Sec
retary DENLY conferred just pre-
vious to rendering his resignation to
President Coolidge.
New Name Involved
The name of n big politician, not
an official of the government, was
drawn into the oil lease scandal
when the Teapot Dome committee
delved today into kilograms Of Ed
ward b. Mclean, publisher of the
Washington Post.
The identity Of the politician was
not definitely established in the
telegrams, but if he is the man the
committee thinks he is, new SEN
sational story Of official intrigue is
expected to be revealed.
One member of the committee con
sidered the evidence might prove
sufficient to ''wreck another politi-
cal career
The kilograms were examined by
the committee i'll executive session
to trace connections between high
officials and former Secretary of the
Interior Fall who was guest of
Mclean in Palm Beach when the lid
was first torn off the scandal sur
rounding tho leasing Of the naval

ACCUSED MAN IS
NOT PERRY SAY
|. A. OFFICERS
Pair Admit Ste aling
Car of Pauline
. Fredericl1s

Los Angeles officers who arrived
in this city this morning to identify
the men arrested here yesterday
while driving stolen car, one OF
whom was believed to be Oscar
Perry, wanted in Los Angeles for
murder, stated positively after view
ing the men that neither was con-
nected with the gang which held up
a bank in Los Angeles last week and
Killed Policeman Bond.
Donald Sessions, the man who was
believed to be Perry, resembles tn.
latter very closely, the principal diff
ference being that Perry is drug
addict, while Sessions is not. Rob
ert Owens, who gave the name OF
Robert Johnson when arrested, IS
the same general build as Jack
johnson, wanted with Perry, but
Owens has dark red hair while
johnson is described as a blonde.
The ear in which the two men
were riding has been identified as
belonging to Pauline Fredericks, the
motion picture actress, and was stol-
en- from in front of the Presbyterian
church on Westlake avenue, Los An
geles, Sunday. They have admitted
taking the ear and will go back to
Los Angeles this afternoon with the
Officers from that city.
"Hunch' Caused Arrest
1t was due to 'hunch" on the
part of Sheriff Gillett that the men
were arrested and the stolen ear re-
covered. Gillett passed the men on
the San Diego highway, and did not
believe their appearance warranted
possession of such n car as the mo
tion picture star owns. He decided
the case demanded investigation and
sent Deputy Sheriffs Leonard and
Adkins out to pick up the men. The
officers met Sessions and Owens at
Sceley, and after. questioning them,
ordered them to drive to the jail.
When Gillett had an opportunity
to give the men q close scrutiny, he
noticed Sessions resemblance to
pictures OF Perry which had been
received at the Jail, and imm"diate-
y communicated with the nOs AM
yeles authorities.
Sessions claims he was recently
