So it was arranged, and after hav-

his profound regrets at not being able
to be one of the bridal party, Tom
proceeded to assume his feminine dis
guise.
Then he sat In a dark corner of
the gallery, wondering the while
whether he had really gone insane,
wondering why he had consented to
sit here in Daphne's frock and cloak.
OF course, 1t was because the girl was
so pretty. While he thus reflected
Daphne was struttlng about the little
stage trying hard to look very mas
culine wearing his clothes with an air
Of perfect ownership. Even with her
assumed masculine tones her voice
possessed a quality that thrilled Tom,
and even in the badly fitted evening
clothes she seemed to Tom the pref

Mems Conversation

When in the company OF women,
men devote II per cent of their con-
versation to talk about themselves and
only about 3 per cent to the fair sex.
At least that's what tabulatlons
made by group of prominent psy-
biologists at the Ohio State university
read The remainder Of the CONVEX
sation, which is estimated at 50 per
cent, Is given over to amusements,
sports. business, weather and mani
ties. According to these figures, 1t ap-
pears that men take the lead in con
versation and the women follow suit,
chatting about such subjects as inter
est the men most.

Gayety this week where Fred
Clark's company of that name is
presenting a burlesque show that
would be hard to beat. Full of pep
and action and with an excellent
interpreting company this show
typifies the form Of entertainment
evolved in recent years that has
done 80 much to put burlesque on
higher plane.
Nanny King has the principal
comedy role and this boy certainly
can make them laugh. He has a
style all his own and wins his audi
ence without resorting to rough
ness or risque methods. Likewise
he is a violinist of much talent.
although he prefers much of the
time to burlesque his playing.
Harry Peterson has good voice
and works well with King in
laugh-provoking stunts.
The show is well equipped with
feminine talent. Fay Tunis, Ar

into popular favor. Helen Flynn
has four dances that registered

Discovered two years ago in
The Washington Times mailing
room, where he used to while
away the waits between editions
by singing to his mates, young
Joseph King, pictured above, was
dispatched on professional ca
reer by A. "A. 0Serush :Sad this
week he returns 10 Washington
as speciality soloist with the
Lets Go" company of burles-
quers at the Gayety Theater.
King is a Washington boy,
sixteen years old. When in
town he lives at 75O Princeton
place, where his parents now re-
side. His voice has such an as
tonishing timbre that professional
coachers agree that to cultivate
it too intensively would rob it
of the naturalness that now dis
tinguishes it. The youngster
sings in Italian, French, Russian,
German and English. He has
been called everything from the
Boy Caruso to the Yiddish John
Mccormack. After hearing him
sing. one is content to call him
just Young Joe King.
For a long time after Mr.. Kar-
rish found him warbling amidst
the inly recesses of The Times
building, King sang with, The
Times and Herald entertainers,
and left only when a professional
contract was offered him.

The ancient Greeks thought

manded, tinkered with alchemy

ton have joined hands in mod

Fables along. Too much Is
enough. Some bucolic humor,
fair maids, and Mildred Burns
caused the epidemic of sedentari-
ness. One or two spurious scenes
were forgiven for the nonce.
Humor was rampant in a more
or less virile state on the entire

plucked and strummed on some

OLD FAVORTTE

be Old Favorite week in two
of Washington's theaters.
"Lightnin'" returns to the
National with the lovable
Joseph Jefferson in the Bill

"Wildflower," that delight of
all musical comedies.

that week is still a secret but

little group just hopes and
hopes it will be Blossom

In the movies we'd like to
see Charlie Chaplin in "Shoul-

Assuming that the Bill of
Rights safeguards Miss Hink-
ley's aim in writing the play, and
Mr.. Weber's in producing it,
there are still several quite hei-
nous items to bring them to task
for. The piece is cast with quite
reprehensible carelessness, par
ticularly in the leading feminine
role where we have young lady
who does everything required by
the "Clutch and Gasp" school of
acting except stab the villain
with her diploma. Miriam Hop
kins, the girl, is woefully beyond
her depth, in the role Of one raw
ished on her wedding eve, both as
to type and as to ability. She is
distinctly the ingenue type to be
found in musical comedy, lolling
in hammock munching nougat
or cheese-sticks. Here she is
victimized by the terrible adven-
ture, embittered and distraught;
one to whom the doors to a happy
future are irrevocably closed.
The illusion doesn't get over.
Louis Calhern Is also a square
peg though he does give some
authenticity to the role of the
erotic and beastly lover. Donald

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, July IL
Following a death-bed statement by
John E. Mckinney, fifty, who died
here last Friday of burns, that he
had been made a human torch" by
unidentified persons, members of his
family and friends appealed to Gov
Clifford Walker yesterday to offer a
reward for apprehension and convic-
tion of the alleged slayers.
They asserted that an investiga-
ton into the affair will be prosecuted
vigorously, claiming that Mckinney
literally was burned alive by his enc
mics. Mckinney was quoted in his
death-bed declaration as having
stated that while he was at work on
his warehouse last Thursday he
heard an automobile stop nearby.
LAS came out later. a spray OF
some liquid hit me-" he was quoted
as having said, "saturating my cloth
ing, and I was in flames immediate
ly." 80
The finding of contrivance for
use, in setting a time.dre, which was
buried under hay In the warehouse,
was described by members Of the
family and friends, as p plot to get
Mckinney on a charge OF arson, when
the structure caught fire.

NEW YORK, July 14.-His concep-
tion of hereafter as an abode of the
vital and vigorous, Of the young as
we'll the old, sustained President
Coolidge when Calvin, his son, lay
dying, according to the Rev. DR.. ia
son Noble Pierce. pastor of the First
Congregational Church of Washing
ton, D. c., who spoke at. the Marble
Collegiate Church here yesterday on
the Presidents hour of sorrow and
how he passed through 1t.
Il told the President" DIR. Pierce
said, that in this sickness God was
the consulting doctor trying vainly
to tell his colleagues here below how
to save this life, because they were
not yet able perfectly to understand
Gods laws. The diseases which are
fatal today are healed tomorrow"
The President made his reply, ac-
cording to the preacher:
Expects Youth in Heaven.
That may all be WELL but what
would Heaven be like if it were made
up only Of old men and women
Eleven months ago. DR.. Pierce
continued. when our country expert
enced in sorrow the loss of President
Harding, and in those midnight hours
when the Vice President took the
oath of Office administered by his
father in that little country home by
the light of an oil lamp, before ever
photographers and reporters reached
him to strip away the. privacies of
home life, our President went in the
early light to kneel beside his
mothers grave where she lies buried.
1T was locket containing her
picture and a tuft of her hair that
the President placed in Calvin's hand
as he lay dying. 1t was beside her
grave in Plymouth that his remains
were placed as an example of family
affection and divine love. No eleva-
tion to Office and no devotion to duty
had succeeded in breaking that strong
bond that bound the immediate family
together"
Boys Last Moments.
DR.. Pierce. describing the last
moments of Calvin, said that the boy
had in his delirium fancied himself
leading charge of troops. Then
suddenly he had changed and cried:
I'VE surrender"
Tell them we surrender" he had
cried to the nurse, and was not quiet
ed until she had said she had told
them.
DR.. Boone then spoke up and said:
mo, Calvin. never surrender"
And Calvin. repeated, according to
DR.. Pierce. I'VE surrender"
THE flesh had surrendered, but not
the spirit" said DR.. Pierce.
.'Calvin's life was irrestibly attrac-
tive. Nor was it weak life. 1t was
soldierly and strong"
