Consider Local Corporations.

Consideration should be given to
the Government Joining In the creation
of local corporations at the various
ports for the purpose of taking over
the ships maintaining the trade route
services of the cargo liner type. The
Government could well afford to turn
its vessels over for stock in such
corporations at n very low price
valuation If the local residents would
be prepared to subscribe the capital
necessary for operation and new con-
struction purposes. The Government
could then give to such local sub
scribers the option to purchase Gov
ernment stock al par during a stipu-
lated period. The enlistment of local
SKILL interest and pride in the con-
duet of those services should con-
tribute to decentralization and uItl-
mate disposal of the Government in
terests.
"All restrictions upon railway own
ership of vessels In international
trade should be removed. The prob
able consolidation of our railways
into larger systems is likely TO offer
a possibility of the railways under
taking to extend their transportation
routes to oversee destinations. As
railway rates and profits are now
under regulation. public interest
would be fully protected. If this
could be brought about, 1t would offer
an additional means for the system
tic establishment of the merchant
marine.
The committee agrees with the
recommendations OF the President in
his message to Congress that the
Emergency Fleet Corporation should
be completely separated from the
Shipping Board.
Plan of Separation.
"The separation should be effected
upon the following premises:
The board should be restored TO
it's original status OF a semi judicial
regulatory body for the merchant
marine as a whole.
The custody and operation Of all
shipping and shipping properties
should be transferred to the Emer-
eency Fleet Corporation, including
the administrative control of all
docks. piers. warehouses and other
terminal facilities. The promotion
functions, economic Investigations,
etc, should be transferred to the De-
partment of Commerce. The regotf-
alton and sale OF shipping should
rest in the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. subject TO the approval of the
board of directors. The adminfstra
tion of the construction loan fund
should remain in the Shipping Board.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
should be All independent entity with
the general characteristics Of a COM
mercfal business organization. The
president of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation should be selected by the
President of the United States and
should report to board of directors.
to be appointed by the President of
the United States.
The relation of the board to the
Emergency Fleet Corporation should
be the same as toward private Amer
lean shipping organizations"

LONDON, February 1.-The possi-
bility of ffve-fold aerial fleet to the
North Pole this summer is raised by
the announcement that Grettir AL
CARSON, a British Columbian, pro-
poses to set out in May from Liver
pool with an expedition, the last
stages of which will be by airplane
TO the North Pole.
Roald Amundsen had already an
nounced his intention of undertaking
an aerial flight from Spitzbergen this
summer (early in May, If possible)
and there is a projected Japanese ex
petition under Hammer, who was
Amundsen's lieutenant on previous
Polar journeys. There is also talk
of American and French expeditions.
The British Columbian, Algarsson,
proposes to take ship from the Mer
sey to Reykj kjavik, Iceland. thence to
Spitzbergen, where after coaling the
vessel will skirt the west coast as
far as the ice permits, which if the
summer is a good one, should be
somewhere in the neighborhood of 81
degrees north. A base will then be
formed, an airplane assembled, and
the last stage, the polar flight, will
be undertaken.
Shore parties from the base will
take observations and make natural
history and geological collections,
which on the return of the expedition
will be at the disposal of Liverpool
museums and various scientific in
stitutions.
Commander +. A. WorSley. who
commanded Shackleton's ships, En-
(lurance and Quest, will command the
ship and act as second in command of
the expedition.
The venture will demand an air
plane of special design, which it is
proposed shall embody developments
arising out OF the recent light air
plane tests at Lympne, but more
powerfully engined than any used in
these experiments. The plane will
be fitted with ski for landing on ice,
and viii be provided with floats for
enforced landings on water. Recep-
tion wireless will be carried, and if
overcome, apparatus capable of send
ing messages limited distance. 1t is
intended, if possible, to land at the
Pole for the purpose of taking OBJ
servations.
The expedition will return along
the east Greenland coast, delimiting
the coastal ice barrier, and proceed
home via New York. When in the ice
area it is proposed to make important
tests with petrol tractors, so that
Commander Worsley may see what
modification in their design may be
necessary for the transarctic journey
he proposes to make next year across
the Polar basin.
The final dash to the Pole by air.
the novel and most hazardous stage
of the venture, will be undertaken by
Algarsson with one companion, and
it will be to the perfecting of the ar
rangements for this that the expe-
rience and ingenuity of the explorers
will be mainly employed between
now and the time for departure. AL
CARSON, who has had a long asso-
citation with Liverpool, having served
his apprenticeship with the Blue
Funnel Line of steamers, is raising
funds in that city, and the bulk of
the consumable stores have already
been promised.

METROPOLITAN
Zone Year to Live"

"One Year To Live" the fea-
tured attraction at the Metropoli-
tan Theater this week, lacks a
real dramatic punch, but it's en-
tertainment rates as fair. A deal
of extraneous matter causes the
picture to lag but adds something
to the spectacular scenes. The
production probably will prove
popular with audiences as it has
a fair flavor of romance, how
ever much it fails to come to
grips with life.
The cast is an excellent one.
Aileen Pringle, Antonio Moreno,
Dorothy Mackaill and Rosemary
Theby having the leading roles.
Dorothy Mackaill is especially
effective in what is really the
star part.
The action revolves about the
Partisan stage, the setting being
the theater of the "Folies de
Paris!' The plot, not bad as a
whole, must be given credit for
producing some unexpected turns.
The lovers in the last scene,
one takes pleasure in recording,
are clasped in an embrace that
foretells marriage. generally con-
sidered as being a happy ending,
but you can use your own judg-
ment.
The subsidiary features are very
good. Mary Lucia Fish pleases
with very well chosen group OF
songs. She possesses a clear and
beautiful voice. She won well
deserved applause.
Lloyd Hamilton is disporting
his 200-odd pounds in a comedy.

A stereoscopic picture, which is

VAUDEVILLE AND FILM
OBSERVATIONS

than Introduce Me-" All the
funny situations rise out OF the
fact that Jimmy Hughes, an inno-
cent European tourist, is forced
to assume the name and game or
one Roberts, a champion noun
tain climber. In this case, said
mountains are the Alps, and it
looks very much as though the
picture was shot in natural loca-
ton. Well, anyhow, Jimmy sees
a girl, falls in love with her, has
a deuce of a time getting intro
duced, wins the climbing contest,
and. "Sic Semper Est" Anne
Cornwall and e. j. Radcliffe and
others are excellent support for
Mr.. MacLean. SO much for the
feature picture, amply embellished
by International News, Krazy
Cat Cartoon, and another juvenile
comedy.
The Rialto Jazz Revue Is the
high spot of the program. A
sort of an innovation, including
late popular songs and dances,
this little act has all the fresh.
ness and pep Of a production,
with talent enough to grace with
ease many, more proLeSSlondl
combine. All the participants are
Washington favorites. The Misses
Alice Tupman and Eileen Lally,
two clever and attractive girls.
are pleasing, with a number OF
songs and dances. And Bob Car
baugh, a miniature Frank Crumft,
passes out a couple Of songs with
his ukelele with all the skill and
ease Of a veteran. Then there is
a banjoist who strums delight
fully, and the Four Hoofmen,
Messrs. Mulroe, Becker, Bishop,
and Raftery. who dance and dance
and dance with such a will and
enjoyment that it is a pleasure to
see them. There is really more
enthusiasm In this revue than
many a bigger brother. And, too,
the orchestra steps out and shows
us a bit in jazz. In fact, the
only serious note Of the program
is sounded in the special nlm-
tribute to Mother, a most fitting
introduction to this gold mine OF
Rialto offerings.-E. L. P.

PALACE
Confessions of a Queen

Lewis Stone Is the outstanding
tlgure, among a number of good
ones, in Confessions of a Queen"
now current at Loew's Palace.
As the debauched king of a
mythical monarchy in the Balk-
ans, Stone contributes one more
etching to a marvelously fine
list Of characters in his career.
Alice Terry, the good, the beauti-
ful and the not-always-true, lends
tone and capable acting to the
role Of the young Princess who
Is forced into marriage with the
dlssolute king for reasons of
State.
Lewis Stone apears as Christian
IL, monarch whose chief aim in
life seems to be to have a good
time.
Christian continues his philan-
derlngs after his marriage and in
doing so Widens the breach that
was opened between him and
Fredericka almost at the begin
ming. Meanwhile, Prince Alexei
cousin of Christian, is trying to
win the affection of Fredericka.
1t is this fact that is largely
responsible for Christians con
tinued coldness toward her.
Comes revolution. The royaI
family flees to Paris. 1t looks for
awhile as though the king and
the queen will make up here, but
Alexei is still on the scene and
nothing of the sort occurs. Nor
does it occur until the very last
scene when Frederick dashes
into revOlutionists' den and
saves her kingly husband from
what appeared to be death.
The picture is finely staged
and directed and a good support
ing cast has been provided.
Ralph Graves, who is now one
of the leading comedians in the
movies, is seen in a highly laugh
able comedy in which he appears
as a risible character in HE
Who Gets Smacked." There Is
also Pathe newsreel and an
entertaining overture by the
Palace Symphony orchestra under
the direction of Thomas Joseph
Cannon.

Laurette TaylOr-OtherS
KEITH'S-

Before Laurette Taylor, in
knickerbocker suit of black satin,
a huge black ruff and her face
painted dead white, stepped onto
the Keith stage last night, we
wouldn't have given two cents for
the chances of "Peirrot, the Prod
igal," prodigal, to get over with
vaudeville audience.
Perhaps it succeeded last night
by the charming efforts of Miss
Taylor and her associates, or be-
cause it was a thing Of flawless
beauty, accompanied by great
music. Or was 1t because panto-
mime Is so strikingIy unusual?
Frankly, we don't know. But
they ate it up. 1t was really ap-
preciated.
We must give it to Ben Meroff
and his mad, mad band for stop
ing the show. Ben is not only a
good musician. but a remarkable
dancer, and his musicians are
specialists, every one. Funny?
The paying guests were rolling all
over the place. The band will
pack them in If the theater can
hold out under the onslaught of
crashing chairs, fiddles and fall
ing draperies. It's riot!
Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy Barry are
back with their dear old Scandals
of Hensfoot Corners" And we
heard Jimmy sing "She Went
Away Without a Wedding Ring"
and liked it as much as ever.
Welcome back and come again!
The bill opens with Winnie and
Dolly-Dolly wears a bathing suit
who swing on rings and ropes
very jauntily. Montana, the Cow
boy banjoist, returns with a pretty
white costume, and his genius for
making one banjo sound like a
whole band.

messy offer Moments Of Song and
Dance" which didn't seem to get
by, for some reason. Oh, for sew
eral reasons that we might men,
tion.
Buddy Doyle, the Twentieth Cen
tury Minstrel, sings-and, boy,
can't he put over II song! He is
one of the few men in blackface
who really can pull the heart
out of any kind of song. Lucas
and Inez, closing the bill with a
muscle-control act, got the biggest
hand for any closing act that we
have ever heard. Everybody stayed
in their seats. The Topics, Fable,
and news reel as usual. j. r.

EARLE
Vaudeville, Films

The sentiment of vaudeville
audiences on the prohibition
question is manifestly anti, if
you would judge by the recep-
tion given "Al's Here" a scene
of bygone days depicting an an
cient barroom, old time bar flies
and a barkeep of pre-war distil-
lage, at the Earle by a Sabbath
crowd yesterday.
The audience was particularly
affected when the boys got to-
gether on Sweet Ad-el-ine, My
-Ad-el-ine and that one about
Mother. From where we sat we
though we could see many a
sleeve brush many a tear-dimmed
eye, but perhaps that was mostly
imagination. One of the .opers
strums a mean banjo and the
rest have real harmonious voices.
THE Night Clerk" one act
musical comedy, billed as the
headliner, was nothing to send a
night letter home about. The
comedy was not so bad but the
voices and staging were mediocre.
Pat Barrett and Nora Cunneen,
the former a spry octogenarian
and the latter a voluptuous vamp
present an excellent act, loaded
with laugh DrO0ucing Quips and
persiflage and such.
The bill opens with one Of the
best numbers on the program,
an aerial novelty. Nothing new
or sensational but staged with
such good taste and judicious
lighting effects to rescue it from
the ordinary. Ed Morton finishes
up the vaudeville end of the
program with Some songs as you
like to hear them sung" providing
your tastes run that way.
THE Bandelero," the film for
the week is noteworthy for the
bull fight scenes and some IN
teresting types but little else.
The plot is draggy and the story
poorly edited. The leading charac-
ter Pedro de Cordoba resembles
and acts like our William S.

Much refurnishing has been
