ORIGINAL "MERRY WIDOW" IS PLAYER IN NEW MOVIE VERSION

It was inevitable that at least one member of the original "The Merry Widow" company would appear in the modernized film version, which is the attraction at the Liberty Theatre com. mencing tonight. Brick von Stroheim, who directed the film for Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer, sent out special call for players who had acted in the original stage presentation of the famous TO- mantle light opera.
 Won Stroheim cast Ralph Whiting for a small but important part in "The Merry Widow" He plays an officer in the Kings Life Guard and has a num- Der of scenes that contribute to the tense drama of the story.
 In the original company Whiting played a small role in the first act and then doubled in an important role in the Maxime's scene. His work, it will be remembered by those who saw the place, made one of the outstanding comedy hits. He played the tipsy Englishman who meandered about the cafe and caused disturbances general ly.
 Incidentally, when von Stroheim was selecting players for "The Merry Widow" over twenty-five applicants stated that they had appeared in the original company. Upon investigation it was learned that most of them were in the chorus of the many road com panies.
 "The Merry Widow" was adapted to the screen by Brick Stroheim and Benjamin Glazer from the famous stage play by Victor Leon, Leo Stein and Franz Lehar, als produced by Henry w. Savage.

Tabulation of the number of people

The members of the board as well as
q number of leaders of other civic or

the part of WashingtonianS in the

The board has already a number of

mind for the show next year.
The board has received several let
terS of congratulation from the eX-

Auditorium. one of the features which
was the subject of considerable COM

LUMBER INDUSTRY
REPORTS INCREASE
Hardwood and Softwood Mills All
Indicate Satisfactory
Trend.

Reports received by the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
here, covering the activities of 376 of
the principal softwood and 1877 of the
chief hardwood lumber mills of the
country, indicate satisfactory cur
rent trend in the lumber industry. In
comparison with reports for the previ-
Gus week, production and new busi-
ness appear to be about the same, al
lowing for difference in number Of re-
porting mills. with a slight increase in
shipments. When compared with re-
ports for the same period of 1925,
there was little or no change.
The hardwood operations show ap-
parent increases in production, ship
ments and new business, but the num-
Der of mills reporting this week is
larger than last.
The untitled orders of 233 Southern
pine and West Coast mills at the end
Of last week amounted to 639, III ,767
feet, as against 635,077.591 feet for
232 mills the previous week. The 124
identical Southern pine mills in the
group showed untitled orders of 243,-
103.432 feet last week, as against 251,-
105,9S4 feet for the week before. For
the 100 West Coast mills the untitled
orders were 96.06S.335 feet, as against
383,971 ,607 feet for los mills the week
before.
Altogether, the 363 comparably re-
porting softWood mills had shipments
81 per cent and orders 96 per cent Of
actual production. For the Southern
pine mills these percentages were, re-
spectively, LOG and "a, and for the
West Coast mills S8 and SO per cent.
OF the reporting mills, the 333 with
an established normal production for
the week of 227 7,545,029 feet gave ac.
tual production 100 per cent, ship
ments 80 per cent and orders 81 per
cent.
