ADJUSTMENTS
OPERA HOUSE JIMMIE EVANS
MUSICAL REVIEW

The Opera House has a double at
traction today-Jimmie Evans popu-
lar Revue and a screen drama Of
more than usual .charm-'When
Love Grows Cold" featuring Mrs.
Rudolph Valentino.
Jimmie comes back to his Augusta
audience with brandnew outfit of
scenery, costumes and stage features
but with the same old company. The
show is the usual melange of songs,
dance and comedy, all clean and
snappy and up-to-t e-minute as the
public expects Jimmie Evans shows
to be.
The chorus is as full Of pep as
though they were opening the sea-
son instead Of closing it. Jimmie
Evans, himself, is the same old
Jerry. His makeup may be a bit
different and his jokes are new but
he is still the jovial, Irish comedian
looking for trouble.
When Love Grows Cold" is q
splendid Photographic and dramatic
achievement. To strong. well-knir
story that has human warmth and
appeal has been added some excel
lent comedy. and these ingredients
have been welded into an organic
whole by the superb direction Of
Harry Hoyt. Nothing this capable
metaphsycian of the megaphone has
done has equalled his work in this
production-not even the genius that
he conjured up in his direction Of

series Of instructions from that
text by United States District Al.

courts.
Maynard. who has had three
places padlocked under the pro

february, 1895. Ii the second
such proceeding against him.
First til be PadlocIsed
Maynard now il proprietor of the
Maple Inn Cafeteria. 1916 X St
N. w. He has the distinction of
having been the first washington
man to be named defendant in an
injunction suit under the pad
lock" provision of the VoIstead act.
This original suit was filed in
January, 1922, when Maynard
operated a cafe on Fifteenth Street,
near the Treasury. After a legal
"padlock' had been clamped on
that place. he moved to Street,
across from the Veterans Bureau,
and the legal locksmiths closed that
place in June, 1924.
This didn't discourage Maynard.
He moved to the X Street address,
and Justice HitZ placed a paddock
on that on February Is, 1925.
Acquitted Of Charge
That didn't end Maynard's
troubles with the law. He was
hailed into court few months
later, charged with violation of the
last paddock Decree but was ac-
quilted when he proved he was
not I'm the place when the liquor
selling with which he was charged
took place.
The proceedings now on in the
local courts again charge violation
Of the paddock decree. They are
based on raid on the K Street
cafeteria made by Captain Burlin-
game and his flying squadron Feb
ruary last. Captain Burlingame
charges that several prohibition
agents bought liquor in the place.
