be found by far the best. certainly
one of the most delightful offerings
of the season. The audience attested
the fact throughout with its laughter
and applause, and over the big finale
to the second act, with the my Hero"
melody as the theme, it waxed to a
high degree Of enthusiasm.
And let 1t be known that Ethel
Walker can and does sing "My Hero"
with the best of her predecessors, and
J. Humbird Duffey, in appearance, in
voice and in his general presentation
Of the role, is an ideal hero.
But 1t doesn't seem fair to single
out individual performers when the
whole show reflects so high a degree
Of excellence, for dainty little Ethel
Clark, Sarah Edwards. a very sub
stantial addition to the strength of
the company; Henry Kelly, even
though still blushing bridegroom;
Arthur Cunningham, the reliable vet
eran both in acting and in song, and,
of course, the mighty Hopper, are en-
titled to credit for a midseason per-
formance that will linger long in the
memory of those who have the pleas
ure of enjoying it,
The Chocolate Soldier" fairly over

1t exquisite in beauty, and those who
want to view the theater Of long ago

formance of this dear, old opera
comique, for it is easily the hit of the

Keith 's-Martha Hedman
and Nan Halperin.

Although Keith's has advertised
two headliners this week in Martha
Hedman and Nan Haaperin, there
are three on the BILL the third being
Eddie Nelson, the clever comedian of
The Last. Waltz and numerous Saw
age productions. And the bill itself is
ideal vaudeville
There is originality in every move
ment of Nelson's, and from the time
he came on the stage until he left
there was a constant roar of laugh
ter. He is an exceptional dancer,
funny tumbler and a singer of no
mean ability, and the way in which
he introduces his talents is new to
the Washington vaudeville. Mr.. Nell
son is accompanied by partner good
to look upon and a capable dancer.
and Patrick Rafferty,, who is the traf-
fic cop to perfection. The act as a
whole is one of the best laugh pro-
ducers on the Keith circuit.
Charming Martha Hedman is put
forward by Lewis & Gordon in a
little sketch entitled You Can't Beat
Them" and is, of course, a success
The lines of her playlet are snappy
and the finale surprising enough to
satisfy the most eXacting. What
story there is deals with two stingy
husbands, whose wives take turns in
wheedling the cash from them. Miss

Belasco-" "Smilin Through.

Essaying for the first time in their
visit play that is difficult to render
and superb only when keenly appre-
ciated by those interpreting it. the
stock company at the Shuoeft-
Belasco Theater last night brought
to it's audience all the thrills and
tears, laughter and signs that are
packed in Allan Langdon Martins
three-act classic of love and loyalty,
"Smilin' Through"
The play is spiritual to the nth
degree. Accordingly. it needs some
thing more than mere words and
meanderings to get it across the foot
lights One can see what hard
task it is for a stock company to
take such a play and bring 1t safely
across the shoals of three acts
when tagging interest at any stage
would be suicidal. Overcoming the
initial handicap of apparent dispro-
portionate casting, the players brush
ed aside all cobWebs OF doubt and
threw themselves into roles in way
that carried the audience with them
into the throb and rhythm of this
At the end of the first act it was
being said: What a pity Blanche
Iurka is so tall and Donald Galiaher
SO proportionately short. They are
both fairly good" At the end of the
second act: Weren't they delightful
in that scene of 50 years ago? And
at the end of the play, with eyes
still strained with tears which crop
ped out unconSciouSly and fiuently,
they said nothing, but sighed with
satisfaction. and that pleasurable
ease of spirit that bespeaks more
praise than vocal chords are capable
of bestoWing.
The story is the story of the world
as Christians know 1t. Love one

sublime love triumph, in a way that

Yurka-who, if you remember was

past, the following hints for the
care of the car are given.
fabrication is the most i'm
portant part of the tuning process.
The chassis should be we'll creased,
drain the crankcase and run
lighter oil or kerosene through it
and refill with fresh oil. This
should be done every 500 miles of
travel. The transmission and front
axle bearings should be thoroughly
oiled.
Tightening up of bolts, clips and
nuts, especially around the springs,
as loose springs are often the
cause of breakage.
When you come to the electrical
system, the battery should be re-
charged, filled with new solution
and distilled water. Washington's
drinking water is satisfactory if
the distilled water is not available.
The wiring and terminals. should
be checked for any trouble. The
distributor inspected and points
cleaned and adjusted if necessary.
Carbon deposits should be re-
moved. The motor should be
tuned at a reliable service station.

NEGLECT Of CAR
Of TEN BAD. AS
ABUSE
Studebaker Distributor Gives
Suggestions About Keep
ing Auto in Shape
By JOSEPH McREYNOLDS.
Studebaker Distributor.

Some motorists are continually
having hard luck with their cars.
Careful drivers, it is true, but a
number Of little things are always
hindering their pleasure or business
trips. These automobile owners be.
lieve that the less you fuss with a
car the better it will run. Conse-
quently. the trouble can be laid
to neglect which, in a sense, is
worse than abuse. There is not a
car built which does not require
occasional attention from the garage
man. Machinery is not immortal,
neither is man. Both require tun.
ing in order to keep them in con-
dition. Neglect of health brings
sickness and neglect of an auto
mobile brings trouble and expense.
The motoring season is backward
this year because of the weather
conditions and the roads are not
in the best of condition. However,
every week sees an increasing num-
Der of autos on the streets and
country highways. Some Of them
have been overhauled while others
have started on their 1924 careers
without receiving the least bit Of
overhauling or tuning. About July
or August, the car neglectors will
probably have trouble and com.
mence cussing and worrying. These
fellows will have their cars laid
up just the time they need them
most.
Car Preservation.
For those who care about pres
ervatioh of their car and have
already attended to it, this story is
