DISABLED AMERICAN
VETERANS.

A meeting of all chairmen of COM
mittees assisting in the annual forget
me-not campaign of the District of
Columbia department of the Disabled
American Veterans October ,, has
been called for next Tuesday evening
in the campaign headquarters in the
Munsey Building.
State comdr George W. Phillips
has just returned from d Vaca-
ton in the Middle West, where he
conferred with several National and
State officials of the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans and he brought back
reports that the outlook generally is
for one of the most successful drives
in the history of the organization
comdr. Phillips pointed out that upon
the receipts of the drive October
in this city will depend largely
whether Washington will continue a
Disabled American Veteran liaiSon
officer at the Veterans Bureau to act
as free attorney for the disabled men
of this city and their dependents in
the presentation of claims for relief.
For four years the District of Co
lumbia department has had liaison
officer in the Washington office and
his reports show hundreds of cases
of indiN idual veterans for whom bene-
fits have been obtained when the
claims have been handled by the one
maintained by funds derived from the
forget -ne-not campaign. The failure
of Washington TO respond at the com
ing observance. which is Endorsed by
President Coolidge and Gen. Hines,
would result in the abandonment of
the plan which has proven so bene-
fetal TO the manned men of this city
their mothers, wives and children.
One of the problems that will be
fully discussed atl~the meeting this
week will be on obtaining assistance
of girls and women for the sale.

SIR SQUIRE BANCROFT,
ENGLISH ACTOR, DIES
Dean of Stage Started at Guinea a
Week and Retired Rich
at Age of A.
Hy the Associated Press

By the Associst sted Press.
LONDON, April 20.-Sir Squire
Bancroft, dean of the English stage,
died in London last night after
short illness.
SQUIRE Bancroft was born in luxury
in 1841, but his fathers early death
greatly changed his circumstances.
and he first appeared on the stage at
the Theater Royal, Birmingham, in
1861, at salary of guinea a week.
He retired from a career of successful
management in 1885, having realized
a fortune in his own theater, the
Havmarket, the lease of which he
purchased in 1879.
His wife. Lady Bancroft, died in
1921. She first appeared on the stage
under her maiden name Of Marie
Effie Wilton as early as 1S47.
Squire Bancroft was one of the
most prolific of actors. Between 1861
and 1865, playing in the provinces, he
appeared in no fewer than 346 parts,
and after going to London ne ap-
peared in not less than one new play
year
Although he retired from manage
ment at the early age of A, he later
associated himself with Henry Irving
and John Hare, both of whom were
knighted, and he himself had knight
hood conferred on him by Queen Vic
toria for notable services to his pro
fession. He devoted much time to
readings" and the rendition of
Dickens christmas Carol for the
benefit of hospitals throughout the
country. and in this way he raised
upward of 500, 900 for these institu-
tions. He was elected president of
the Actors Association in 1908, in sue
cession to Sir Henry Irving.

ADJUSTMENTS


John Warmers marked facility in
| light comedy gets it's chance this
week in the National Theater Play
ers' production of Frank Craven s de
| lightful play, THE First Year" In
; the first two offerings Warner has
but little opportunity to display his
talent, but as Tommy Tucker, the
| boob husband who made good, he
gives one of the best performances
| in the long line of excellent bits the
| company has given to the Capital.
The role gives any actor seductive
opportunity for overplaying, but
Warmer never once oversteps himself
or his character. 1t is a fine bit of
work from preliminary to knockout.
Leneta Lane, playing opposite War
ner as the wife who chucks the bust
ness of marriage in the eleventh
month of the extraordinarily disillu-
siOning first year, also has a more
substantial bit than was given her in
'"Fhree Live Ghosts" She. too, dis.
plays the necessary tinesse t. make
the role one to be remembered
The First Year" if any one doesn t
know its story, concerns itself wit
Frank Craveu'S conviction that the
II months Immediately following the
marriage ceremony are months to try
the soul of man and woman--the big
gest hazard in the matrimonial
course. 1t involves the efforts of
Tommy Tucker. the small town real
estate man, to make good for his
young wfe's sake in n larger way
Just about the time this dream is on
the verge of fructifying along comes
a combination of circumstances in the
shape of an old rival of Tommy'S, n
M a i'll with q 1innar W
some railroad options and the very
latest thing in postwar gin. 1t all
eliminates in the wife's 'going home
to mother" and the husband going
to the hospital with a case of poi
Soning."
However, when everything looks
darkest. DR.. Myron Livingstone, an
understanding bachelor uncle of the
bride. gets busy and fixes things up.
To give credit where credit is due. 1t
must be said that DIR. Myron's path
was made easier by that kindly old
bird-the storlt.
Romaine Calender is cast as the
rejected suitor whose talking out of
turn nearly wrecks the Turner mar
riage: the doctors role is given to
Percy Winter; Charles Hampden and
Mrs. Hibbard are presented as the
brides parents; Dorothy Tierney is
cast as the colored maid. and David
Munro and Kathryn Givney have
minor parts.
The work of Miss Tierney as Hat
tie, the maid. is especially noteworthy
as nice bit of character as one
could hope to see.
The others are up to the company
standard which is well enough known
to assure 1.-The First Year" the at
tendance that it unquestionably de
serves. If merit counts this week
should be the best thus far for the
company.
