been secured for a one week
engagement at LIE Paradis as q
special treat.
Nine. OnuFi's last appearance
in washington was in the latter
part of 1923 when she sang the
name part of Madame Butter
fly" at Polls Theater and was
enthusiastically praised by Capital
critics who were lavish in their
comments on her voice and quaint
and winsome personality.
The appearance Of Mime. Onuki

through her personal friendship
for Maxim Lowe, entertainment
manager of Meyer Davis Enter
prises, who ten years ago az.
covered this extraordinary artist
acting as a geisha girl in Tokyo.
During her engagement at LIE

is even more difficult. There are
from three to four weeks re-

be engaged for it and yet never
open in it. for at rehearsals the
producer may decide that, after
all, you are not the type.
"You are paid two weeks salary
and released. But II you do pass
muster and get good notices from
the critics, you are comparatively
on easy street. After a few
weeks, if you are used to stock

"I wish that farmer could go
through one day of a stock
actress life,. if he thinks it is
not work. I do not say this in
complaint, for I love it, and
would be unhappy away from 1t.
But I do think a little propaganda
would do no harm among some
people regarding the demands OF
an actors life. To go on the
stage to many people outside
means daubing ones face; wear
ing pretty clothes; being made
love to by a handsome man. and
going out to supper after the play.
That is also the story book idea
of it. Take for granted that you
are really a professional; are re-
cognized by the managers and
producers as somebody they can
employ to their own advantage.
That means you have learned to
read lines with meaning; to dance
and sing a bit (even though you
may never so in musical comedy,
it is part of your stage educa-
tion);. have been taught fencing;
have learned the art of makeup,
and have mastered the Nmental
feat of committing a part to
memory. That is only a start.

Let US take stock first as an
example. You rehearse all day

hearsal-and give your opening

this you have, in addition to
learning your role, been busy

Ntnety-n1ne attractions VlslC-
cd Washington's leading play
houses during the season which
opened in September and which
closes tonight. In the aggre-
gate of visiting attractions, the
season was slightly under the
number Of the previous year,
though it stands out above all
predecessors in the number of
new plays produced.
More than half of the attrac-
tions visiting here were new ones
testing out before q Broadway
appearances; fifty-one, to be
exact.
Of twenty-eight new attrac-
tions appearing at the Belasco,
twenty were failures. Of thir-
teen premiering at Polls, seven
failed, and at the National,
three out of ten try-outs did
not make the grade.
Below is the record for the
entire season, compiled by The
Times dramatic section. One
asterisk before an attraction in
dicates a try-out here which
has made good, or promises to.
Two asterisks indicate new
plays opening here which failed.

WIFE SUES WIDOW
FOR CASH IN DEAD
HUSBANDS ESTATE

BERLIN. Sept. 16.-The strange
case Of a married woman suing the
widow of her first husband for al
mony has been put to a Vienna court
for decision.
The plaintiff is the first wife of the
late Baron Nicholas Won Wassilki,
who was a member Of the Austrian
Imperial Council. The former baron
ess had obtained a divorce. and had
remarked, but her husband lost his
fortune in the initiation and she is now
poverty stricken.
The defendant is the second wife Of
Baron Won Wassilki, formerly the well
known artist, Gerda Walden.
The first wife of the baron now
claims that since her new husband has
lost his fortune. and since her own
means arc insufficient TO maintain her
in the style TO which she has been ac-
customed, and to which she has a
right by virtue Of her social position.
that therefore the fortune Of the late
baron, now in the hands of the widow.
must make up the difference.
The widow. however. claims that
the initiation has left only fraction
Of the fortune and that therefore she
is unable to pay anything

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-R)-
Army filters will make a preliminary
survey of the route to be followed in
the first annual reliability tour for
the Ford touring trophy which will
take place in the Middle West from
September IS to October 8. This sur
vey will develop the route over which
a pathfinder plane is now flying in

Military planes will not participate,

a survey for the purpose of recon-
mending landing fields. The tour is
designed to encourage only commercial
aviation development.
