SNAPPY LITTLE
SHOW, THIS
ONE

When Lena Daley led a score
Of merry choristers onto the
Illuminated runway Of the Gayety
last night a big audience settled
down to enjoy what proved to be
one of the best burlesque shows
Of the season.
The fair Lena calls her new
show Miss Tabasco' and it is
a peppery entertainment from the
barnyard fantasy which opened
the show to the final glittering
dancing number. While Miss
Daley is much in evidence
throughout the two acts and
nineteen scenes she has surround
ed herself with a number Of out
standing figures in burlesque.
Foremost among them is Eddie
Shubert, who gives a very clevsr
imitation Of Ed Wynn. His whlm-
sical portrayal of the musical
comedy star was a refreshing
change from the rough and ready
work Of the average burlesQue
comedian. Another comedian who

Martha White has a voice Of
amazing volume and her song
numbers went over big. Misses
Rosen and Ellis were charming
in q series Of songs and dances,
while Gladys Jackson pleased
with her songs. Sid Gold, who
has come back to burlesque after
a season Of vaudeville, and Lou
Denny were capable.
Miss Daley has given her new
offering some splendid settings,
the jewel scene and the Hawaiian
idyll particularly effective. The
chorus would do credit to big
musical revue.
Inaugural visitors will find
''Miss Tabasco" to their liking.

PALACE
Thomas Meighan

Coming Through" the cinema
adaptation Of Jack Bethea's Bed
Rock" Is the splendid feature at
the Palace this week.
With Thomas Meighan in the
lead, assisted by Lila Lee and
Wallace Beery, the picture moves
along with smoothness and color.
Mr.. Meighan is cast in the role
OF a clerk. who, having married
the daughter Of his employer, is
sent by the girls father to take
charge OF the toughest coal min
ing camps in the south. He IS
also trapped into making a state
ment which causes his wife to
believe he married her in order
to obtain desired promotion. Dis
illusioned and hurt by his wife's
failure to believe in him, he
goes to the camp where he meets
difficulties and dangers designed
by his irate father.in-law.

mite" show tomorrow, and the DO.
litical and other honorary sight.
SeerS in our midst are assured Uf
"bang.up" burlesque time, com.
parable to none in the annals of
this POtOmac-skirted village.
"Step Along" is the attraction
at the Mutual Theater this week
and the chorus runs away with
the show-or almost does, any
way. 1t is the prettiest and
shapeliest thing in choruses that
has frolicked over the Mutual
stage this year.
Nina Bernard's dancing pre-
vents the chorus from taking the
entire show. Miss Bernard, a. verv
diminutive person. by the way, is
clever indeed with her legs and
toes. Her turn has more real
merit in it than is usually seen
on the burlesque stage.
Max Coleman and Bennie Moore
furnished the comedy and did a
very good task at it, too.
The feminine leads are played
by Claire Stone, Ida Bernard, Ruth
Sothern and Rose DeMar in ad.
dition to Nina Bernard.
The costumes are exotic and col
Orful. Many specialties furnish
novel and entertaining contrasts.
Rut it's really the chorus show.
and since the leads are always
named, even when they don't do so
we'll, I think the chorus should
have it's fling. Here they are:
Marion O'Neih Beatrice Jowett,
Southern, Rose DeMar, Rosita
Rodriguez, Jean Alpine, Beatrice
Wilson, Billy Ward. Carol Knox,
Beth Henderson, Evelyn Hender-

Otis Skinner again re-enacts on

Otis Skinner again re-enacts on
the ,wardman Park Theater screen
the stellar role Of Hail, the
bellicose beggar Of Bagdad, in
the ever-gripping spectacular adap-
tation Of his stage success
Kismet.
The rising sun Of an Oriental
dawn finds Hail stretched out at
the portals Of the Mosque Of
Bagdad. At the early call Of
the Muezzine the faithful gather
to worship, and among those who
come Hail discovers Jawan, a
former comrade. who seduced his
wife and abducted his daughter.
Jawan. who has since won fame
as the Great White Sheik, comes
to the seat Of the Caliphate that
by his prayers ana aims he might
obtain q pardon for his trans
gressions.
From here on the plot swiftly
and with intense interest follows
the movements Of Hail in his
course Of vengeance.
Stirring events crowd each other.
Scene after scene, replete with
action, dramatic and humorous,
staged amidst settings Of Oriental
splendor, love and intrigue furnish
a colorful background for Otis
Skinner and the magnificent sup
port Of his all-star cast.
The showing Of the picture Is
accompanied by q perfectly syn
chronized musical score especially
arranged by Max Pugatsky CT
the Irving Boernstein staff, to
follow in tempo and character
the vivid action Of this master
piece.

role a witchery that translates
the Barrie harmonics into a
symphony of rich and radiant
merriment, fragile, gay and
often as low and murmuring as
the incoming of drowsy cricket,
intoxicated by the moaning Of
the winds on the moor.
Of the varied and numerous
assisting figures gathered by
Dillingham; to enhance the
milieu, Donald Searle invests
slightly with values so expertly
shaded and apportioned that his
performance is gem-like in its
brilliance. Never has Barrie
been complimented with such a
fine Interpretation of that par
ticular human illusion. Dorothy
Hope is a delightful, but not a
perfect Wendy. What she lacks
l could not quite determine, and
though her charm did much to
overshadow the missing some
thing, she was not as Barriesque
as is always desired.
Practically, the play is an
atmospheric triumph, with Ed

subdued gaudiness, a delight

"Seed Flax as Farm Crop in 1926
A. C. Army of University Farm rep
resented Minnesota in the prepare
ton of the bulletin, supply of which
for circulation in Minnesota will be
mailed out on request from the office
of Publication, University Farm, St.
Paul.
Prices Seen-One-fifth fewer hogs on
farms of Minnesota today than at the
corresponding time in 1924.
One-sixth fewer pigs narrowed in
| the spring of 1925 in Minnesota than
were narrowed in the spring of 1924
Instead of a surplus, less than the
normal number of pigs will be raised
in Minnesota in 1925. Other corn
belt states probably will show similar
decreases, and the swing to period
of profitable hog prices will be here.
These conclusions are drawn by
E. F. Ferrin of the animal husbandry
division, University of Minnesota
from estimates gathered by him since
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture on January 1 estimated a
decrease of 18 per cent in the numb
er of swine on Minnesota farms as
corresponding time in 1924. "Far
from now having surplus of pork,
the state is entering upon a period of
hog shortage" he says. "It appears
that the average decrease of newly
born pigs in southern Minnesota will
be 18 per cent as compared with the
pig crop of the spring of 1924. The
remainder of the state shows ID
per cent decrease.
"Not a very large advance in the
price of hogs on the market is neces-
sary in order to equalize the corn
hog ratio. If corn is taken at the
January farm price basis of 80 cents
bushel, hogs should be worth about
$1,000 hundredweight on the farm
in order to pay for theeir feed. They
are not far away from this value on
farms at present, with good prospects
of favorable corn-hog ration soon. "
Minnesota Assured More 800
Pound Herds-Information has been
received by the agricultural extension
service of the university that the Ma
tional Dairy Show will add to the
national 300-pound herd honor roll
the names Of Minnesota dairymen
whose herds equal or exceed a year.
ly average of 800 pounds of butter
fat per cow, as reported by cow
testing association for the year end
ing July 1, 1925. E. A. Hanson of
University Farm, in charge Of COW
testing in Minnesota, says 2,378
herd owners in % states were admit
ted to the national honor roll last
year. Of this number Minnesota
furnished 221 winners. With SO COW
testing associations in Minnesota,
Mr.. Hanson believes the number of
300-pound herds will be increased
materially.

soil. When the alfalfa field is plowed
to take its new role in the rotation of
crops, the alfalfa roots themselves de-
cay and make the best kind of hui
mus-building manure.
Alfalfa builds up the soil and
makes it richer and more productive
through nitrogen gathering bacteria
on it's roots. When the soil is care
fully broken away around the finer
roots of an alfalfa plant small swell
lings or nodules can be seen on the
roots. These little nodules are the
homes of millions Of bacteria. They
have the peculiar power of being able
to take the nitrogenous gas of the air
and convert it into actual growth pro-
ducing fertilizer for the alfalfa plant.
Alfalfa supplies its own nitrogen re-
quirements.
A certain well-known farmer al
ways refers to his alfalfa fields as his
fertilizer factory" An acre of al
falfa is capable of manufacturing 165
pounds of raw nitrogen into an avail
able form of plant food. 49,
