NEWEST DAVIS
RESORT OPEN
MAY |

The Meyer Davis tent band,
which will be the featured attrac-
ton at the Chateau lie Paradis,
at Ammendale, Nd. to open it's
doors to the public on May 1, is
conceded to be one of the star
musical ensembles in the ninety
four-band Davis . organization.
The naming Of the rent band as
the Chateau musical feature thus
assures the same smart brand Of
dance music as that which has
played such a large part in
popularizing the Cafe LIE Paradis
and the Club Chanticleer in Wash
ington.
The Tent band is noted for its
soft and resonant harmonies, COM
bined with the perfect rhythm
which is such a necessity in a
modern dance orchestra. Every
member of the band is a star per-
former and has been given per-
sonal tutelage by Meyer Davis,
who has been coaching the aggre-
cation for over a year with the
view of developing a super-band
for the Chateau lie Paradis. Not
one of the musicians Is over
twenty-five years ola.
Nathan Brusiloff, the leader or
the band, has the distinction OF
being the youngest leader in the
Davis organization.

Better Times" a burlesque, in

was rewarded with generous APP

Evelyn Clark and Rose Sharon

a number Of songs. Joe Melino
and Billy Roscoe have a clever
acrobatic act, while Rays circus
pleased. Henry Drake put his
cyclonic jazz band through many
stunts and registered a hit.
The second part Of the show
is given entirely by colored folks,
including orchestra, chorus girls

The history of Jay Brennan is
closely linked with that of the
late Bert Savoy. All playgoers
who go to vaudeville theaters
know who Savoy and Brennan
are. When Savoy was killed last
summer, Brennan was loathe to
continue the act which he and
his partner had made famous.
But for many reasons he was
persuaded to do so and found in
Stanley Rogers an excellent foil.
OF course, in Hassard Shorts

seen her. Then, there is Hattie,

rivals. At Polls the week after

As between the relative i'm
portance of a play like "Queen
Nab" and the necessity for
public referendum as to whether
Tuesday shall continue to fol-
low Monday, the latter is an
issue of the first Importance.
1t is difficult to imagine that
so experienced a producer as
Oliver Morosco could have had
all his wits about him when he
determined to produce it. APP
parently not, for he has given
the piece but a half-hearted
staging. The sets for the pal
ace are about as regal and or
nate as the get-up of any OF
the larger neighborhood delica-
lessen shops. A tinny phono-
graph substitutes for the palace
orchestra which is to blare its
first welcome to the new queen.
And if all the "My Gawds" and
"Madams" were laid end to
end, they would form a htany
of no insignificant dimension.
There is actually no beginning
to the piece, no ending and, in
between, just plain verbosity.

A pretty mannequin from Q
London shop is discovered to
be the rightful heir to royalist
rulership of a small Balkan
kingdom. She accepts, encoun-
ters revolution and in the last
act is stretched cold in death
by a bastard bullet; just as her
love for the revolution leader
began to bud.

is simply spurious feint in q
direction away from the smutty
and frivolous moods of this
seasons output. Mr.. Morosco,
like all of US, has seen jazz en-
throned at the head of the
show parade this season, as
never before, and so he has
tossed his dead cat into the
ranks Of the merrymakers by
way of dispensing them and
making for novelty. It is my

nauts will flatten it to an amaze

EDlTO RIAL S

On this subject, John w. Lieb,
vice-president of the New York
Edison company, said:
'In New York City, a consid-
cradle number of small companies
had grown up during the first 20
years of central station opera
tions. Their facilities consisted
of many small and inefficient
power plants using different gen
Grating and distributing systems
and customers equipment. The
following decade witness a gen
cral consolidation and merging of
these companies and a unification
of generating and distributing ia
cilities, concentrating production
in a few large econmical plants,
and providing a safer and more
reliable service.
This was really the beginning
of superpower service. An ex-
tension of this system to all parts
of the world will bring about
greater production and manu-
featuring activity and tighten the
burden of human toll in every
land. AS might be expected,
the initiative and energy of
American citizens is leading the
way.
More and more, as the years
pass, the world will depend on
power, the cheapest of which if
sold on an honest basis should be
hydro-electric power, but when
hydro electric power is sold on
basis Of the cost to produce en-
ergy by steam or coal, the con-
sumner is no better off than be-
fore hydro power was known.
The great electrical compa-
mics are stretching out over the
country, tying in with each other
and perfecting working agree
ments. Too often the public is
the goat"
The advent of the oil-burning
engine is now acting as a bal
ance. 1t will force honest rates
where otherwise they could not
have been secured.
If super-power is to add to
the happiness Of the human race
it must be sold on an honest
basis.

EDITORIALS
REPRESSION OF OBSCENE
LITERATURE NEEDED.

Most of the nasty printed mat
ter in the United States comes out
of temperance and morals of the
of New York, complains the board
of morals of the Methodist church.
Of course! So does most of the
virtuous printed matter. Proba
bly, more edifying religious litera-
ture is published in New York than
any where else in America.
New York is a factory and dis
tributor of print, as of everything
else, and comes nearer to having a
monopoly of periodical publica-
tions than of any other commodity.
And the printing press has no
conscience. 1t will turn out nth
OF purity with equal impersonality.
Of course somebody does have
responsibility.
Guilt is personal" as Woodrow
Wilson sail.
Somebody great many some
bodys-in New York has found out
that smut is more openly and safe

the market is therefore, supplied.
Guilt is primarily on the pur-
veyor of such goods. But is is also
on the buyers. These things are
not sold in New York.
Most of them are sold elsewhere.
If rural police are less vigilant than
they once were against obscene
literature, if the rural populations
buy more of it the guilt is national.
These things go in waves.

Improved Production
Brings Human
Happiness

An era of greater prosperity
and happiness for all civilized
people was foreseen by engi-
neers and economists of 3 ma
tons who attended first world
power conference, held in Lon
don, England, from June 80 to
July II, 1924. Though the
delegates were the worlds lead
ing technologists their interest
was focused not on technical
matters but on the question,
What can be done to make
human life better worth the liv-
ing2"
The following answer to this
question was unanimously agreed
upon:
Resolved that it is the opin
ion of this conference that the
worlds most crying need today
is greater production and manu-
featuring activity among its peo-
pies under conditions which will
promote individual prosperity
and happiness, and that this can
be largely achieved by the full
er development of nation power
resources and by the establish
ment of the most economical
means for the general distribu-
tion and utilization of energy"
This thought was developed
by hundreds of speakers before
the conference. The subject of
the relatio nof power to pros
perity is of such Importance that
it should be understood by ev-
cry thinking American.
Superpower, or interconnec-
ton of power resources, is not
dream of visionary men of
science; it is a reality today in
various parts of the United
States and is being extended as
rapidly as circumstances permit.

Secretary Melons
Position Justified

Few if any good results have
come from the publication of
income tax figures, except that
they have made it possible to
see just how far tax exempt
bonds shift the load from some
shoulders to others, thus justi-
flying the position of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon.
Discussing the Publication OF
nome tax returns, the Spring
field, Mass, Union says:
publication of income tax re-
turns constitutes an unjust in
vasion of the citizens right to
decent privacy, encourages dis
honest practices and sharp deal
ings by professional sharpers and
among business competitors, fos-
tiers malicious gossip and SLAM
der and does not infallibly indi-
cate the extent of persons in
come. 1t thus gives rise to mis-
understandings and worse"
IF the publication of income
tax returns can be said to have
been of any advantage what
ever, it has'been to aid the cause
of tax reform and tax reduction
by demonstrating the extent to
which capital has flowed into tax
exempt bonds which furnish a
lawful method of escaping all
forms of taxation. Will the peo-
pie ever learn?

It's Not the Big Gift
That Counts Most

The widows mite long ha'
stood as the best example Of
sacrifice in giving. It's not al
ways the big gift that mean:
most. Occasionally we rur
across a gift that is small wher
measured in dollars, but large ii
results. Such is the Christmas
gift of man in Hart ord, Conn,
as related in the following from
the New York World:
When Silas Chapman, Jr., an
insurance expert, died in Hart
ford, Postmaster Taylor reveal
ed a fact which he had been
pledged not to mention during
the dead mans lifetime. This
was that every year, for quar-
ter of century, before Christ
mas, Mr.. Chapman would ask
about the number of letters, and
packages addressed obviously by
immigrants to friends and rela-
tives in the Old World and held in
the post office for insufficient
postage. The lacking stamps he
would supply himself. This he
called his yearly contribution to
people who live in foreign coun-
tries who might want their mail
Christmas"
Mr.. Chapman's happy thought
seems to have antedated the work
of the good people in our cities
who take more or less care of
letters addressed to Santa Claus.
His annual expenditure for
stamps ran only to some $40 or
$25, but it would be hard to
Overestimate the good done by
such a comparatively modest ex-
penditure. With kindly thought
fulness one does not have to be
millionaire to scatter good deeds
in a world that needs them. Mr..
Chapman found a way.
In Kentucky we knew a kind
ly old man - man of no
means whatever-who at Christ
mas time filled his pockets with
candy and walked the streets
for days, giving every child a
small piece of candy and kind
ly word of advice.
In Atlanta there was an old
gentleman, known as the news
boys friend. He never failed to
hand each little paper vender
a piece of chewing gum or can
dy or a cake when accosted by
one of the little fellows. They
would gather around him and
eat candy, while he pointed the
path to a useful manhood.
Who can estimate the good
those men, with small gifts, may
have done? Their reward I'M
doubtedly will be rich-in the
Great Beyond.
