BLAZING LOGS CONFESS AS WELDON


There is nothing more cheerful than
4 glowing open fire, and there is moth
ing more comfortable than the even
heat of furnace fires in modern Amer
lean homes. The combination OF the
two is ideal. Either one without the
other is suggestive of a lack some
where II is because of this that
there is a decided tendency TO install
both in modern homes and apartments.
Another advantage in double-heating
methods is that the open fires serve
to temper houses when cool in the
nights or mornings before the larger
fire is required. When furnaces are
lighted, open fires may be omitted.
except for the sheer joy of them, eX-
cept when severe weather comes.
Then open fires may be lighted to
increase comfort as we'll as pleasure.
Augmenting Heat.
If house does not hay. coal CRATES
Or open fireplaCes tor logs, there are
several methods of supplying added
heat when needed in rooms. Electric
ity, gas and oil each may be used, ac-
cording TO the home-makers' prefer
ence. There are attractive heaters
using those different mediums. Some
simulate logs of wood in trim fire
places. Some appear to be glowing
Goals in neat CRATES. Others appear
TO be radiators or regulation stoves.
Besides these larger heating agents,
there are scores of styles of portable
heaters which radiate warmth. II
would seem as if there was model
for every requirement. So, if you
find rooms difficult to heat. consider
the medium best at your comma nd
and suit the model of your heating
appliance to this medium.
Portable Heaters.
For example, there are houses we'll
supplied with electrical outlets. Then,
naturally electric heaters would be
found desirable. Houses that have
gas fittings will find gas heaters suit
ed to the requirements. Oh heaters
are just the things to use in rooms
where neither gas nor electricity is

installed These heaters can be car
ried about from room to room or
placed in whatever part of a com Is
especially needing heat.
Moisture Essential.
The necessity for moisture in heat
ing rooms is too often overlooked.
Artificial heat is extremely drying to
the atmosphere Extra humidity
should be supplied to provide for that
eliminated by heaters. Ornamental
bowls filled with water on radiators
or close to gas, electric or oil heaters
supply decoration as we'll as filling the
need for the increased moisture.
Hot Water.
Hot water can be used to ADVANTAGE
as a heating agent when other heat
is not available, or when II needs to
be increased and no other way is
found at the time. A large bowl OF
steaming water will permcate the air
with warmth to a certain degree. "A
kettle of boiling water will take the
poignancy Of chill from d small room.
Remove the cover and let the steam
rise from the top as we'll as from the
spout. If there is running hot water in
room, ill the basin with 1t, and as
soon as this water ceases TO steam
vigorously, let it out and refill the
basin. If a bathroom is chilly, let
the hot water run into the tub until
partly filled. Allow it to remain for
a few moments and the steam will
temper the air.
Radiation Of Heat.
The radiation of heat from different
appliances varies and must be consid
cred when using any extra heating
agent. For example, a person may sill
close to an open fire of wood or Goa
and enjoy it, for it radiates yer,
evenly. But to sit before fire tina,
throws the heat directly in front OF
1t with intensity is neither pleasant
nor beneficial. 1t is wiser to sit a
little way back or at one side Then
the heat will be more agreeable an.;
decidedly better in its reaction on the
body.

HOME NOTES
BY JENNY WREN.

Except in the very large home the
library as a separate room is seldom
seen today. More often the library
and living room are combined. Re-
cessed shelves in the living room walls
have solved the housing problem for
our bookish treasures.
The idea of having our books share

somewhat shorter by breaking the
line of the figure tends to shorten the
already short ensemble. There is al
ways something comforting in the
coat that covers the frock, and one
reason that women have worn such
light bright frocks all during the cold
weeks so far is because they can hide
them completely in the street under
the protection of warm fur coat or
fur-trimmed cloth coat. With short.

was and clever as she was at lodging
around and through trees, there was
fear in her heart, for behind her on
swift wings was the cause of the in

Once they realize that parties do not

energy, they get more real fun out OF
them. 1t is natural for any human

EARLE-Alice Lake,


The Earle this week gives to its
customers fine bill of vaudeville,
not only with the headliners, but with
the lesser acts as we'll Alice Lake,
popular screen star, makes her Wash
ington stage debut with a little one
act comedy skit. entitled Liars All"
an amusing playlet of a wife who
could not tell the truth. Miss Lake
g ably assisted by Charles Penman,
who takes the part Of her husband,
and Paul Decker as the friend of the
family.
Next comes Will lfiggie and his Six
Magnetic Misses, with an elaborately
staged miniature revue which is al
most a show in itself. The act brings
back a former Washingtonian in the
person Of Eleanor Waterman, dancer
OF merit and introduces a Charleston
staged by Mr.. Higgie himself.
Three Good Knights open the bill
with a novel musical Offering, Barn
yard Follies," first using orthodox in
struments and then employing mu-
sical washboards. saws. spoons, etc.
Jack La We're keeps the audience
laughing. Ben Ryan and Harriet Lee
have a nonsensical act, entitled "One

kEITH'S-Daphne Pollard.

Daphne Pollard. who is headlining
good bill at keith's this week, Is
q very much improved entertainer
from what she was when first making
her bow to an American audience
The little lady brought over all the
old London Music Hall stuff in her
repertoire and as result played
second fiddle to our well known top
liners. Carrying a good business head
she dropped many of the old stage
tunes or added new Americanisms
and as a result she Is safely anchored
In the front ranks. She has added
many ludicrous falls to her act and
the laughter that greeted her efforts
was almost continuous affair. At
the end she was rewarded with a
half dozen curtain calls.
Memories of the Opera" the added
attraction, is quite a pretentious act,
carrying a big company. Caesar
Rivola leads the orchestra and at
tracts a great deal of attention with
his impersonations of noted compos
ers. The singers have strong voices,
especially in the higher registers, and
they put the big numbers of the diff
ferent grand operas over with a tell
ing punch. The Faust" trio and
chorus was about the best in the
repertoire and the organizations re-
ception was hearty and sincere.
George Burns and Grace Allen have
not been around Washington for
some time and as a result their sketch,
Lamb Chops" went over with good
effect. Both are natural funmakers
and as their jokes and patter were
new they had little trouble scoring
the laughing hit Of the evening.

NATIONAL-Ziegfeld's "Follies."


AS revues and musical comedies
70, they may be singing shows or
dancing shows-and Ziegfeld's Fol
lies" this year fall into the latter clas-
Ancation. James Barton Is the dane
ing star and the comedian. Louise
Brown leads the feminine contingent
OF light steppers, and James and
Louise just about dance the whole
show away, with now and then few
twirls from the baauteous chorus.
Florenz Ziegfeld. according to the
program, holds to his self appointed
task of glorifying the American gir..
And after a score of years with the
'Fsollies'', there Is no getting away
from the fact that he succeeds in his
efforts. The girls are just as pretty as
they ever were, and about an average
of ten pounds heavier than last year
The music Of this edition of the
"Follies'' is by Rudolf Friml, with ad-
ditional tunes by James Hanley; the
tableaux are staged by that master
of such work. Ben All Haggin. and
the lyrics are by Gene Buck and 1rV-
ing Caesar. OF course, Joseph Urban
shows his skilled hand with the
scenery.
Ray Dooley as the spoiled child. a
comedy part which she first played
with w. c.. Fields, succeeded several
years ago in making herself thor
oughly hated by the audience. She
plays her part so we'll that one almost
hopes a stagehand in the flies will
accide utally drop a curtain-weight
within a few inches Of her pink and
white headgear. Then. in the last act,
Ray changes her character part and
appears with James Barton in bur-
leque Spanish dancing act. AS the
child her loudest part is with Barton
in a railroad coach scene, Edna Lee
don serving as the mother and Will
liam Fl. Power as the father.
Barton, of course, is brightly shin
ing star as dancer Washington has
probably never seen his equal as a
"hoofer" Of strange and peculiar
steps. But he goes further and heads
the show as a comedian. His big
scenes are in "The Pest" a speak
easy skit. and in The Day Coach"
the action enter of an excursion
train. TableauX staged by Ben Ali
Haggin include 1.-The Wedding Night"

And there are certain bits which
stand out to the reviewer-the singing
of the "silverthroated" Irving Fisher;
that specially dance by Mary Jane
and the chorus; Edna I.eedom's mono
logue, Queen Elizabeth; the Florida
scene, staged by Ned Weyburn; the
cabaret entertainers in the little Paris
cafe scene: RIP Van Wrinkles birth

ballroom dancing of Accent and
