STRAND-EVa Fay,

The Strand started off on a new
week yesterday with five acts of va
riety headed by Eva Fay. who has
an uncanny ability to read what she
doesen't see and to tell people what
they want to know. They write a
question on a piece of paper, show
1t to chap in the aisle, put 1t in
their pocket and pretty soon Eva
tells whether or not this or that is
going to come true. One man wanted
10 know what he did Saturday night
after passing ont and she told him.
Secrets of 1926" another act, is
well equipped with talent. Starting
with "A cyclone hoofer it ends with
the prologuing little damsel who
wears a wicked twinkle in her head
lights. A spanish dance fairly say
oring of tamales and chilli isn't the
only theatrical lollipop they serve.
Burns and MSIntyre sing we'll and
future audiences are warned not to

down with all flags flying. BEDFORD

and amusing Juggling and the photo
play called Dame Chance" helps out
in fine bill.

kETTH'S-The Meistersingers.


The Meistersingers are heading the
Dill this week at Keith's, and ii is
a debatable question whether they
have ever received a more hearty
welcome than that accorded last
night. The organization is made up
OF four male quartets of 'old boys"
who know the art of blending their
splendid voices into one harmonious
whole. The varied numbers on their
program went over with splendid sue
cess last night. especially the popular
selections. The old-timely songs were
shelved, and in their place the latest
contributions from "tin-pan' alley
were offered. Cameron Steele made
his usual hit with his deep and me-
lodious bass in "Old Pal" and Harold
Tripp sang effectively the tenor solo.
My Heart VIII Tell Me So" 1.-THE
Indian Love Call" from Rose
Marie" scored strongly and numerous
encoreS were given in response to
continuous applause.
At intervals Spanish dancers have
appeared at Keith's, but it remained
Tor La Torricella, on last nights pro-
gram, to SHOW us real dancer
from the land of sunshine and wine.
With unusual grace, La Torricella
presented several original numbers
that won unstinted applause. Ivan
Naproy, Jamie Delval and Nadelles'
gypsy orchestra, also add strength
to- the Offering.
Nat Aver and Margaret Wilson,
newcomers to Washington, put over
a clean-cut number of songs, both
having good voices and pleasing per
sonalities. Sergt. Fra nklin and Ruby
Royce open the program with expert
rifle shooting, Baby Henderson does
some clever dancing, Joe Keno and
Rosie Green offer a rough song and
dance number, Claudia Coleman pre-
sents her well known types and was
we'll received. and Mel Klee tells
stories and sings to applause from
start to finish. The house attractions

WARDMAN PARK "Peter tn
Great"

REVEALS are always charming. for
anything that survives long enough to
be revived is in itself worthy. But
peter the Great" one of Emil JAN
nings' first successes as a great
Ufa star. which is being shown
at the Wardman Park Theater the
first half of this week. is more than
that. 1t Is one of the industry's
greatest works.
Brought back by the Moving Pic
tH-e Guild, which is seeking to give
the public once more the truly great
pictures Of other days, Peter the
Great" shows with historical accuracy
the relationship Of the founder Of the
Russian Empire and Catherine, the
girl whom he found in the ruins of d
war-stricken village and raised to
Czarina and who later became Cath
crime the Great. The characterization
Of Peter is remarkable. and the pic
ture as a whole proves that facts and
the plot of a story need not be dis
torted or MANNED by a director to
achieve success.
The guild is presenting Emil jan
nings week" at the thesater at pres
cnt as a tribute to the great German
star whose influence has done much
to bring about the revival of these
films. The Guild seekS-and some of
the patrons of motion pictures. at
least, hope it will succeed--to create
a. new intellectual interest III film
drama Of the highest type.
A minor factor, but one which shows
the care taken by Emil Jannings to
make his Peter the Great reincarna-
ton Of the great Car. is that the
writer on returning from the theater
last night was impelled to look up an
old history and was rewarded by find
ing the resemblance of Jannings to
the etching in the book to be exact In
likeness.
A delightful comedy, burlesquing
the knights of old, precedes the fea
ture film.

BAD ADVERTISING


A. funny folk, the Genoese,
If being odd may be called funny
They want us people overseas
To stop with them and spend our

A golf course, which has wide spread
fame
Is one of their most choice attrac-

And yet they hedge about the game
The most impossible exactions.
For instance, when one clouts ball
With all the fury of ambition,
And finds it has not budged at all
From it's original position,
But from the matted rough peeps out,
It's surface SCARED with hideous

But course attendants hover near,
On every tee one has his station
And if perchance they overhear

Or even such a word as Fudge"
They seize the miscreants by the
collars
And hurry them before a judge
Who fines them sometimes twenty

In almost every golfing crisis,
We keep our temper, as a rule,

RECKLESS DRIVER
 PAYS FINE OF SID
Arrested After Collision at High
 School Corner

Tony Urbanowicz, aged 33, Of POI North street, was fined s10 and costs, fine remitted on payment of costs, by Judge B. W. filling in po- lice court this morning, on the charge of speeding. and judgment was suspended on charges of driv- ing a car with improper markers and improper registration. Through Attorney Alfred Levitt, Urbanowicz pleaded guilty to the charges relat- ing to markers and registration, and not guilty to speeding.
 Sergeant Patrick J. O'Mara testi- fled that he investigated a collision between Urbanowicz's car and a car owned by Jacob Ziegler, aged 20, by his son, Frank Ziegler, aged 20, of 132 Whiting street, at 9:30 last Sunday forenoon at the corner of Bassett street and Rockwell avenue.
 Ziegler estimated the speed of the other car at 25 or 80 miles an hour and said he was driving at the rate of about IS miles an hour He Was going east on Rockwell avenue and the other car was going south on Bassett street. The left rear fend- CT on Zieglers car was struck. No- body was injured.
 Albert Peplaw of 132 Whiting street. who was driving behind Zieg- Ter, said the latter's car had almost passed the point of intersection when it was struck. Urbanowicz denied that his car was going at the speed Ziegler and Peplaw said. He brought his car to a stop to allow one car to pass, and before he had pro- ceeded, Ziegler's car struck his car, he said. Relative to the markers and registration, he changed cars last week and had not had time to have the required changes made, but he has since attended to these details.
 Judge filling said the condition of the street at this corner last Sun day was such that all drivers should have exercised extraordinary care. The street was under excavation and there were dirt piles and stones in the street. He believed Urbanowicz was driving too fast under the con- ditions.
