bar is issuing an invitation to the
members Of the American and Cana
dian bars, who are coming to Great
Britain in July as the guests of the

Financial Prestige

new York, hpfll Il by tnc "A. ~
American bankers anticipating pro-
posals of the Dawes commission for
financial assistance to Germany are
making active preparations to make
capital for a German international
credit bank.
While official action has been with
held pending publications. of the re-
1ort steps already have been taken
to assure American leadership in
financing such an institution whose
means would absorb il large share OF
the proposed international loan.
Subscriptions to the banks capital
would be made by virtually all of
the country's leading financial insti-
tutions, it appears. Prominent inter
national bankers have indicated their
willingness to assist in raising Amer
ica's quota. although the manner and
extent of their participation will be
determined by the nature of the
Dawes report.
Through this country's participa
ton in the project, vast stores of
American gold would find outlet in
to productive channels. Bankers, in
discussing the situation, said this
would be one Of the principal bene-
fits to the United States and also
pointed out that the granting Of an
international credit to Germany
would open a large field for export
of American goods BY assuming
leadership in the actual restoration
Of Germany, the United States, they
predicted, would further enhance it's
financial prestige giving it position
of Importance even exceeding that OF
the critical days Of the war.

WOULD STOP EMIGRATION

Berlin, April 4.--The Ministry Of
Finance has ordered passes be re-
FUSED and the frontiers be closed to
Germans seeking to leave the coun-
try. The intention is to check the
exodus of Germans TO Italy, Belgium,
Switzerland and other countries
which has been in progress for long
time and has aroused adverse com
ment in the German and foreign
press.
The newspapers have charged that
temporary emigran,s with taking
money out of the country to live pro
digally where the cost of living j.
cheaper. thereby depressing the marx
and giving the impression ahl6ad
that cries of suffering among the
German people are unfounded.

Old Time Minstrel Perform CT Now Playing in "The Five Jolly Corks" With Others of His Day.

Tom English, who is one of the best known actors and minstrel men in the country and native of New Britain. paid the "Heraid'' office a surprise visit yesterday afternoon. Mr. Eng
 fish recently returned to the stage after an absence of 20 years during which time at only intermittent inter- eals. he played before the footlights, Readers Of the theater section will remember a recent story about the doings of MT. English as a minstrel performer in the past, but to know that he and those associated with hin are making an immense success of their latest efforts, will be pleasing to his many friends who remember him.
 Mir. English is now with the third act he has been with since his return to the stage. The first two were com plete failures and after several vain attempts to get bookings, the acts ii- nally went into the discard and the combinations broke up.
 At last, however. Mr. English thinks that he has connected with an act which on it's first tour of the vaudeville circuits has met with ap- plause wherever it has appeared. He ascribes the success of the act, not only to the character of it, but most ly to those who are associated with him in it's making. There are five men in the skit. the five being classed many years ago as among the passe on the stage. All have had more or nearly 50 years of experience in the game and although past their prime, they have had comparative ease in getting booked for appearance where other acts with younger actors have been turned down.
 The act is entitled The Five Jolly Corks" and is a combination of indi- sidnal display of old time minstrelsy and clever dancing numbers. The men who comprise it were regarded as the top notchers in their lines in past years. There is Harry Arm strong. once Il celebrated fayorte in minstrels He was one of the original Jolly Corks from which the present order of Elks has been formed. Then there is George Cunningham, who for the past 5o years and more has brought the same laughs and thrills 10 his hearers. He Is still known by the first nickname he received on the stage "Bumpety Bumps" After him comes Al Edwards. ono Of the first to introduce into the minstrel shows the cornetist and he was known through out the country as tine premier min- strel cornetist. He still has all his old time skill. Then comes Eddie Horan, . native of Hartford. who was Il part. ner with Tom English in tho Hi Henry Minstrels years ago. Eddie does an original cane dance which brings the

SON OF EX-PRESIDENT
 OF NICARAGUA COMING
Don Alfon1o ZeIaya, Noted Central American Pianist, Engaged For
 Early Program Here

4 coming event of importance in the city among music lovers, as well as theatergoers is the visit here short ly of Don AlfonZo Zelaya, the Central American pianist who has earned for himself an enviable reputation on the stage. Don Zelaya has been engag- ed to appear at the Capitol at an ear ly date. The career of this musician reads in parts like story from the pen of the late Richard Harding Da- wis Indeed his life is romance, and not all bright and happy either.
 His father, Senor Zelaya, was once president of Nicaragua. 4 revolution in the country forced him to abdicate and come to the United States. rn- like most of his successors, he had not amassed fortune. and therefore when he and his son reached this country, they were left entirely upon their own resources. senor Zelaya died two years ago in New York.
 Senor Zelaya had his son educated abroad and as his son showed a par ticular aptitude for music, he was en- tered and graduated with high honors from foreign conserratoire. This enabled Don Alfonso zelaya to earn a livelihood for him self. He was soon sought out by yau- deSillc managers. and so he entered vaudeville in q melange Of wit, mu- sic and philosophy. In this field he has proved great success not only because of the fact he is the son of deposed president, but because he is q true musician.
 Don Alfonso combines little phil osophy with his music because it is his purpose to educate the masses to the meaning of good music. He says that those who like jazz" have some thing wrong in the back of their heads. His most astounding accom- plishment is to play numbers by re- quest, He will play any classical selec- ton asked.
 Mir. Zelaya besides appearing in vaudeville has played before the faeul. ty in the music departments at tho of Illinois, University Of Michigan, Cornell university and many others, Mr, Zeiaya has also talked and played before many high school audiences and if is possible that he will appear before the local high school students in short lec- ture.
