ROXY AND GANG
TAKE CAPITAL
STORM
Radio Performers Have Five
Concerts on Their Pro-
gram Today.

Roxy and his gang, who came
and took the town by storm yes
terday, have five performances list.
ed for today, four Of them at hos.
pitfalls and the fifth at the radio
show this evening. The latter will
be broadcast over WCAP at 10 D m.
Roxy and his gang were greeted
by thousands upon their arrival
yesterday. He directed two con.
certs at Polls in the afternoon be-
fore packed houses, and received at
Wardman Park at night before
crowd which would compare favor
ably with the New Year eve crowds.
Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the Presi-
dent, and her two sons, with a
party Of friends, occupied a box
for the second performance at
Polls. which was broadcast b.
WCAP.
When the curtain rose, the liChtS
were off, and only dim outlines
could be distinguished on the stage,
but hushed cries of there they are
could be heard throughout the
theater. The inimitable Roxy staged
the concert just as though it were
coming in through the ether. with
the voice of the telephone company
announcer breaking the silence and
concluding with 1.-The mex: voice
you will hear will be that Of Roxy.
Shows Radio Fans Interest
AS Roxy introduced his artists,
there was a burst of applause from
the partisans of each, and usually
the announcement or the name Of
the performer was a mere form,
because as each advanced to the
front of the stage his or her name
could be heard on everyone's lips.
1t was a remarkable demonstration
of the radio fans interest in the in
visible performer, for in most cases
the audience had never seen more
than a picture of the artist.
Rarely has Washington audi
ence been so enthusiastic in its
applause as was the gathering veg
terday. And it was the same at
each concert, the initial burst Of
applause lasting for minutes, and
most Of the individual applause
being interrupted by Roxy in order
to continue the program.
Ovation at Reception.
The reception IN the evening was
the same, a tremendous ovation
greeting the gang upon their ar
rival at the ballroom. After a short
talk by Commissioner Rudolph. vel.
coming Roxy to the city and pre-
senting him with a replica of the
city seal, the gang got going" and
the crowd gathered around their
end OF the ballroom to watch every
move Of the performers.
Following the performance, Roxy
was worn out with handsha king.
it seeming that everyone there
wanted to shake his hand and tell
him how wonderful his concerts
every Sunday evening are. And
you'd be surprised, many were the
women who came and asked Roxy
to dance. The usual form was. las
this Is leap year. and Roxy al
ways politely declined.
RoXie and the gang will remain
in Washington until Friday to per
form at the radio show tomorrow
night. 1t was announced today by
Alfred L. Stern. director of the
show.
The gang was previously sched-
uled to performs only the first day
OF the show, but by arrangement
with the show management, they
are staying over, on the agreement
that half the net receipts of the

Mrs. Ebbd Pitts Adds
Much to Section Program,

One of the most interesting meet
i"gs of the literature section of the
Woman's Ten Thousand Club took
place at the club house Saturday,
when q number of members gather
ed to finish the study of Henrik lb-
sen s drama, "Ghosts.
TO hear of the original reception
of Ibsen s works in his own coun-
tlv, by a woman who was at that
time on the staff of one of the
Stockholm newspapers, was the eX-
perience of those present when Mrs.
Ebba Pitts of Imperial gave most
fascinating talk.
In addition to telling of the dis
approving silence in which g. 4
Doll s House, was first received
and other details concerning its pro
duction, Mrs. Pitts told of the Royal
Grand Opera House of Stockholm,
which is maintained by the city ald
state jointly.
Mrs. Pitts talk was so well re-
ceived that she has been invited to
speak before the section at its next
meeting when Mrs. Robert w. Camp
bell will tell Selma Lagerlov's 'The
Outcast.' At that time Mrs. Pitts
who/is a personal friend of this bril-
liant scandinavian authoress, will

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURER
SAYS RECONCILIATION MUST
COME BEFORE CONSOLATION

the Gospels. She writes on page 100
Of Science and Health: "For three
years after my discovery, / sought
the solution of this problem Of mind
healing, searched the Scriptures aud
read little else, kept aloof from So
ciety and devoted time and energies
to discovering a positive rule. - On
page llO of the same volume 2hc
writes: "n following these lead
ings reason and revelation
were reconciled. Then came to her
that spiritual sense Of composurc,
certainty, security, consolation,
which pre-eminently marked her
whole subsequent life.
"Key, to the Scriptures
This truth which reconcilcd reason
a1d revelation for Mrs. Eddy was
Christian Scrence. She has made
the reception of this truth possible
to all mankind. BY means Of it thc
Bible is unlocked and its real ttcHs-
ures made available. In the Chris
tian Science church, throughout The
world, are multitudcs of men and
women who knew little about thu
Bible and cared less. TO these per-
sons that book has become daily
companion, whose teaching har-
monies with the highest reason. All
of Mrs. Eddy's writings clucidate
the Scriptures. But the three chap
ters in the Christian Science text
book, entitled Genesis, The Apoc@-
lypse, and Glossary, constitute cs-
pecially the "Key to the Scrip
tures.' 4 few months study of
these chapters gave to me a work
able understanding of God which
nearly 40 years of study and of
preaching i'll an orthodox church had
not revealed. We lovingly com
mend, to all honest thinkers, a care
full perusal Of these chapters. They
throw a clear light upon the darkest
pages Of the Holy Writ. They have
led some of the closest thinkers of
the age to accept the Bible as the
highest expression of reason known
to man. Christian Scientists do not
hold to the Bible on mere blind be-
lief. They accept it because they see
and know that, rightly interpreted,
1t is the living Word of God in this
and every age. So understood
through Christian Science, this Word
runneth very swiftly on its loving
errand of conclusion, = removing
manifold perplexities which have
vexed Bible students for centuries.

FEW CHANGES IN
WONEN',S FASHIONS
BLACK SATIN IS 1T

Never has there been less change
in women s fashions than during
the past season or two. 1t is very
often difficult to decide whether
4 smartly dressed woman is wear
ing an advance style or Il wcll-lov-
ed frock of season past. The
straight line silhouette retains its
popularity. Undoubtedly the new
taileurs will result in corseting Of
some sort, but for the present The
corset is taboo.
One buys ones lingerie straps in
the jcwelrN shops, now. Since the
straps are 10 longer concealed,
anyway, it is really quite sensible to
make them a harmonious addition
to the costume. Wherefore, jewel
ers are showing Il slender chain of
white gold, with tiny pins at each
end to attach it to the undergar-
mcnt. This is varied with ribbons
to match the color scheme of the
gown.
no wardrobe is quite complete
without the black satin frock. IT
is well-nigh indispensable. Trim
ming is used sparingly, but all have
the inevitable touch of white. Or
candle vest and cuffs lend an air
Of chic that is hard to surpass. 4
touch of lace or Il decorative buck
lie, also, adds to the charming sim
plicity of these dresses, which de
pend on the rich luster of the mater
ial for their greatest attractiveness.
An old favorite, alpaca, is fre
quently used as substitute for
satin.
