JUST WHAT WAS THIS
Joke. IRENE?

: nize it again is in itself enjoyable.
Recently in d musical comedy,
the joke about the plumber hav-
ing to go back for lis tools was
utilized. There is one that dates
back to the time of the American
Revolution. In fact, / think It
was a favorite of BENJAMIN
Franklin's, and was reprinted
from time to time in his Poor
Richard Almanac. It was the
first bon mot that I can remem-
Der being told me by my grand
mother, and has been handed
down in our family from genera
ton to generation. Did the au-
diences resent its introduction in
said musical show? Not so you
could notice it-(there go with
an ancient wheeze MYSELF. They
howled and shrieked with laugh
ter. The play was a success from
that moment and during the re-
mainder of its stay in the city
an eager line of ticket buyers be-
sieged the box office from early
morn until late at night. So I
again repeat, the old jokes are

is the life of trade"

Winter Finery

CrandaIl's Metropolitan Theater,
last week, blossomed out in new
fall finery. The summer Cretonne
draperies and rroscenium hang
ings, as we'll as the seat covers,
gave way to the canary-colored
Baronet satins that lend an added
touch of artistic elegance to the
interior of the popular F street
house. At the same time the or
ckestra abandoned their Palm
Beaches in favor Of dark Worsteds
and the floor attaches donned
natty new uniforms. The new
gatb of the house staff is one of
the most attractive that has ever
appeared on the floor Of a Wash
ington playhouse. The coats are
a light blue, cut almost in dinner
coat style, and the trousers are
navy blue with gold stripes
down the sides. The Waistcoats
are braided and white shirts and
wing collars are worn with black
Eatwing bow ties. Installing the
new draperies was an an-night
lob for Fallas Broche, house man
ager. and his staff.

"Hokum is the life of trade,
says Irene Bordoni, coming to
the National in Naughty Gin
derella,' next week. I'VE just
couldn't do without it in the
theater," she insists, try as we
may we always go back to it. AZ
lot of folks have ventured to give
definitions Of the word 'hokum,
and they have gone into long dis
sertations, with the usual result
that one really does not know in
the end what they have been
talking about at all, at all.
1.-THE simplest definition can
offer is to use two words, old
stuff At least 'hokum' is alwAgs
that If not something more, but
/ think that will do. Old stuff au
diences just love it, and the more
ancient the joke or the older the
piece of business the louder they
will laugh and the more enthu-
siastic they become. I suppose
hearing an old joke is like meet
ing an old friend, it is so COM
forting, don't you know.
Anyway, one may not have
heard it for some time and the
mere fact of being able to recog-

The work of remodeling the
ball room of the Arcade is going
forward rapidly, so rapidly, IN
fact, that it is possible to an

The ball room is being redeco'

belief of the Arcade management
that when finished the place will
be among the most attractive IN

the very best of condition for the
gala opening.
Work is also being rushed on
the auditorium in orde,' to allow
for it's opening as a r0lersllating
rink shortly after the ball room

pense to make the rink one of
the finest and most completely
modern in this section Of the

THIS VILLAGE Is
GETTING US
EXCITED

Dear Mr.. Phillips: There is
q good deal Of sleeping sick
ness around, whether Doctor
Fowler knows it or not, but
the boys in the back room are
all pulling for insomnia to
win out.
The slogan of the B. in the
B. r.. is Keep America
Awaken and how to do it is
what puzzles them. 1t won't
be so hard to do this after
Saturday night, October 3, when
the Spanish Village Night Club
opens Gust over Peter BOrras'
Restaurant MadriIlOn, 1904 G
street., because something will
be doing from Ten to Three.
We boys are just getting
through with the decorations,
and the club is a sight for
sore eyes. Lots of people mot
necessarily with affected eyes)
have been coming up to see
this triumph of architecture
and interior decoration, but the
big crowd will be uD Saturday,
the tlGrd.
Frank Tillman's orchestra is
{practicing on Spanish Airs, and
we have just put an electrical
haIf-m0On in the beautiful, sky
like ceiling. Mayor Bob King
is receiving membership appli-
cations galore, and Architect
Edward st. Cyr Billy Barring
ton is putting acid on the
hinges of the doors to the
attractive dining booths, to
make them (the hinges) look
old and rusty.
X x X
Well, there's the iceman, so
must close, expecting to see
you Fridav night at the pre-
opening, and Saturday night at
the gala opening, when, besides
our own special attractions,
the Washington theaters will
cooperate to make it a pleasant
evening.
YOurs-fOr insomnia,
AMOS, The KalsOminer's Boy.
