up the walk to peer into the lighted
window. He sees a man seated in a
desk chair. He steps into the room

condition, is the penalty 95 out of every
100 people pay for overeating.

and the mineral oil lubricates the intes-
tines, overcoming constipation.

heartburn, indigestion, belching and
constipation, don't dose yourself with
harmful, hRbit-forning cathartics and
laxatives. Just take a little Haley's
Magnesia-Oil tonight before you go to

Gayety-"H Harry Steppe.'

Harry Steppe and his company have
the double assignment of being the
last burlesque show to appear in
Washington this year at the Gayety
Theater and also the first to appear
in 1925. In order that the patrons
for the coming year shall not have
long to wait for their amusement a
special midnight performance will be
staged Wednesday at the stroke of IL.
Harry Steppe is more than half the
show this week, and his originality
in the portrayal of the Hebrew sport
and good fellow is good for a laugh
any time. His comedy is good. al
though there are times when the
horseplay is a little too much drawn

Belasco-'Jack in the Pulpit

Four unsuccessful safe crackers,
unsuccessful only in that they can
not keep out OF jail, reform, take over
church and. put it on a spiritually
paying basis--that. in substance, is
the theme of Robert Ames' four-act
comedy, Jack in the Pulpit" at the
Shubert- -Belasco Theater this week.
The idea is not exactly new, but on
the charge of age but few theatrical
or even other ideas could escape con-
viction.
Jack In the Pulpit" entertained
the audience that saw 1t last night,
however. The sight Of crooks run
ming a. church and putting it over
like master modernists Is somewhat
unique in the way of an appeal, and
the Robert AmeS quartet does the
job probably as we'll as 1t could be
done.
Young Jack Faber and three grad
yates OF Sing Sing are put into the
predicament by Young Jacks Aunt
Lucinda She leaves Jack a million
on condition that he return to Rose
dale Junction and take over the pas
torate of church that she had
bought for him. Jack says no, but
changes his mind when the girl in
the old home town writes. He starts
out by putting the congregation
in it's place at the reception, and from
then on, each member of the flock
does his or her share in annihilating
the traditions of the parish. The girl
becomes the new pastors secretary.

tually denude the towns other

Then Jacks uncle. very grouchy
old. person, you may be sure, tells
him there won't be any million after
he has complied with all the terms
of the will. The object of this often
told lie is to get the girl, the pas
torate and the million for the uncle's
son. 1t fails to get over. Jack sticks
and so do his pals, who have been
gathering their nests with movie
tickets and fiivver bills of sale. Then,
a piece in the paper brings the de-
tective. The pastor calls meeting

Jack in the Pulpit" is well cast.
Robert Ames, Marion Coakley, as the

village blond, are excellent, and John

certainly a credit TO their alma mater.

Mutual" Hello Jake" Girls

Hello Jake Girls'' offers habitues
of local burlesque at the Mutual
Theater this week an entertainment
not very savory.
The cast is headed by Harry (Hello
Jake) Fields, whose conception of
comedy evidently needs guidance
against lines that are coarse and
vulgar and at times repulsive. Dixie
Mason, a corpulent woman, carries
on conversation with any in the
audience who will listen, interspers-
Ing her chatter with songs and physi-
cal gyrations, aided by strong
spotlight thrown on the uncomfort-
able victim to make the audience
laugh. Violet Hilson also pursues
the same tactics.
Frances Ryer, who confines her
activities to legitimate requirements,
has a good voice and "the humorous
male quartet" harmonizes melodiously

u. S. SEEKS WAY TO
HELP DAWES PLAN

Washington.-Anxi to cooperate
with the British and French govern
ments in their desire to put into inn
mediate operation the Dawes repara-
ton plan, administration officials are
seeking some method by which further
American participation could be &C.
complished.
The presence of the apparent ban
against American membership on the
reparations commission, without first
being approved by congress, as con-
tanned in the resolution of ratification
OF the German-American treaty,
seemed to be an insuperable obstacle
to meeting completely the desires of
the British and French premiers. This
resolution of ratification leaves no
doubt that the legislative branch
rather than the Executive has supreme
control in this regard.
TIE resolution provides "that the
United States shall not be represented
or participate in any body, agency or
commission, nor shall any person rep
resent the United States as a member
of any body or commission in which
the United States is authorized to par
ticnpate by this (German-American)
treaty, unless and until an act of con-:
gress Of the United States shall prof.
vide for such representation or par
ticipatlon''
