Vaudeville Faces
Bad Days, London
Director Fears
Old Variety House Is Made
Film, Theater to Meet
Change.
by the Associated Press.


LONDON, Decemberl5.-Thev variety
theater, once almost national insti-
tuition in Great Britain and patron
lied by all classes of society, is be-
ing crushed by the vogue OF the
movies and elaborate revues and by
the lure of larger salaries for per-
formers in America. according to Sir
Alfred Butt, managing director of the
Empire Theater, in Leicester Square.
The public for high-class vaudeville
exists, but artists are not to be
found, says Sir Alfred, who is turn
ing his house into a movie house after
a disastrous five months experimental
attempt to restore it to the status
it once had as a West End music hall,
catering to the best interests of the
British theater-going public.
His agents, Sir Alfred explained
have combed Great Britain. the con-
tinent and the United States for per-
formers, but have been unable to find
any who could come to his theater on
terms not absolutely prohibitive.
I'VE don't breed music hall artists
in this country as we used to-" Sir
Alfred declared. THE vogue of the
revue has brought young artists un-
der the producer and so killed indi-
vidual initiative. Many of our best ar
fists. men and women who could star
| in music h;.ll turn if they cared
to. have been rured away by the gi-
Santic salaries offered in the United
States. One English comedian was
paid $500 a week i'll New York, and
another is going there next year al
salary of $500 a week. We simply
cannot compete with that sort OF
thing"

PRAGUE. November 22.-AE amaz-
ing story of the erring wanderinSs OF
a corpse is reported from Prague. "A
woman's earthly remains that could
not be brought to rest because of the
persistent blundcrings of bureaucratic
nfficialdom proved Il source or con-
siderable worry to the Bohemian rail-
way and the heirs of the deceased.
When at Franzensbad Frau Fanny
let US discreetly call her Maier-
came to die she expressed. as her last
wish. the desire to be buried in her
native village OF Wecfelsdorf. The
hody was sent to the CZechoslovanian
state railway and Il DILL of lading
consigned it to Weckelsdorf.
Changes Bill of Lading.
With a very important air the
freight agent received the bill of lad
ing FOR one corpse to Weckelsdorf"
and promptly felt annoyed by the
German sounding destination. Week
elsdorf 'Weckelsdorff? mused the
Bohemian official, neeXistuje:"
doesn't exisD. Then he took up his
official Czech index of stations and
there found one designated as Week
tlsdorf- -Teplice. Nh. that was a diff
udious- sounding name of Weckelsdorf
o the Czech official name of Teplice
aud with the feeling of having done
his whole duty as u patriotic official
left the corpse Of Frau Maier to its
fate.
The freight conductor. probably
wishing to show how well he was
posted in the geography Of his coun-
try, now registered the coffin with its
hui n
TrensChin-Teplice in Slovania.
Trip Uneventful.
After an uneventful trip OF two
days the corpse arrived i'll Tren-
schin- Teplice. Here. however, no con-
signec for the corpse was to be
found. But the station agent of
Trenschin-T -Teplice was d genius.
'Teplce?" he murmured between
a few uncomplimentary remarks
about the stupidity Of his colleague
a Franzensbad.
"Teplice, why that must be the
famous Teplice- Sanov, better known
as Tepliz- -Schoenau. So once more
the corpse was dispatched this time
in the direction of Of Tepliz-Schoenau.
BY that time Frau Maier, the de-
leased, was three days on the trip.
Finally the coffin with its contents
arrived at Tepliz-Schoenau. But here
again no Consisnec for the luckless
corpse could be traced.
Found Heirs Waiting.
The station agcns OF Tepllz-Scho-
enau proceeded 10 look up his index
II stations. He then came to the
conclusion by process of elimina-
ton that now only two further sta
tions We're left to be considered. Tep-
lice and Metusi CIV eckelsdorO and
Teplice -HraniCe in Moravia-that is
to say. far beyond Teplice tWeckels-
dorf).
That station agent decided to offer
the unique hit of freight first Of all
t. Teplice-Weu elsdurf. Luck was
with him. For behold. when the body
of Frau Maier arrived in WrCkels
dorf the consisnees were on the spot
In the person OF several hopeful heirs.
And il was left to them to accom-
pany the corpse to the grave. The
epitaph on the tombstone at the head
of the grave, Rest in Peace" un-
doubtedly has been well earned.

erroneous conclusions, the Following
statement which is transmitted to
you for such good use as you may
make Of It:
TN some instances data issued
by the Bureau;soH Standards with
respect to the rolling resistance Of
balloon tires have led to concIu-
sions not altogether justified. The
rolling resistance Of balloon tires
in general does prove TO be. higher
than for the usual type. OF tire
when each IL operated at its
respective recommended pressure.
This haS been interpreted by some
to mean that the power necessary
to drive car equipped with balloon
tires il greater than that required
to drive q car equipped with higher
pressure tires.
"The total power required to
drive . car consists Of four. items:
a. that required to overcome
engine friction3 (N that required to
overcome chassis. friction consisting
Of friction in bearings, gears,
springs, snubbers,. ETC.; CD that
required to overcome wind forces,
and 90 that required to overcome
tire losses. While, in the case Of
balloon tires the last item is some
what greater than for high pressure
tires, the chassis friction Is lower
for the balloon tire. equipped car
on account of reduced vibration.
This tends to offset the increase in
tire resistance.
