MIGHTY GOOD VARIETY
BUY AT THE LYRIC TODAY

Good nature as we'll as talent
seems to be very much in evidence
on the new bill this week at the
Lyric.
The entertaining merit of this bill
proves that the powers that be in
booking vaudeville in the summer
still have real talent available.
You probably have seen a little dog
by the name Of Whitley and his com.
panion. trainer and friend, Ed Ford.
Ford is dressed as a policeman, and
this two people" organization uses
full stage and a big set to put it
over.
The dog. Whitley. is a splendid
mimic. In the do what do" num-
Der Whitley proves that he can talk
as we'll as mimic every action of his
master. AS l have said before, here
is one Of the best dog acts built
along human and sympathetic lines
on the stage today. One of the really
fine acts on the American vaudeville
stage today.
Maybelle Phillips isn't much of a
singer and she admits that in her
own way. 1t is when she imper-
sonates the voice Of children that
she becomes a commanding artist.
She seeks to bring laughter and
amusement into the theater and she
does that with her artistry.
Lottie Mayer has been before the
public with her swimming act for
many years. This season she has
worked out a water ballet idea
which really makes the old act look
new.
The dancers and swimmers dis
appear into the water only to re-
appear in different costumes. Miss
Mayer does her fancy diving as the
high spot Of the act.
THE Five Bohemian F1appers first
appear looking more like real violin
artists than flappers, but before the
act is over they live up to the bill
ing of being fiappers. Here are
five young women who have a
mighty pleasing violin offering. One
Of the girls has a voice which puts
over any song that she selects. An
interesting act of ability and talent.
The McBanns are jugglers and
hat throwers. They devote some
time to comedy effects. Burt and
Lehman have that big asset, person
atty, and much vigor in putting
over their individual Offering Of
nifty conversation, song and dance
F'itzsimmons and Flory are back
with their rather well-known offer

have done my duty when l tell you
honestly that one Of those mighty
and big things of the stage Is on
view at Keith's this week. Here is
thought, bitter humor, drama, and
above all, thought, thought, and more
thought. And thought is such an
infrequent visitor these days on the
stage.

voyage Of the ship Of death. The

and Mr.. Lingley. a hard nosed busi-
ness man full Of system and success
John THORN.
Then there are the halfways-Ann
Vivian Tobin), and Henry paul
Wright. They turned on the gas in
their little apartment when love
couldn't keep the cruel world out
side, but the gas had not completed
its work. So they just started the
tourney on the death ship.
Then there is scrubby, who serves
behind the bar in the cabin. The
only representative of death on the
boat. Alan FIoud is Scrubby. 1t
is Scruhby, who causes the first
curtain, something to the effect I'VE
hal ~
In the second act, the drunk, the
puzzled whisky soaked lad Of lost
power on earth as well as lost
ambitions, discovers that 1t Is
deaths ship. The Railways fear
they will be separted as they
planned death together. The dear
old charwoman is sweet to all
but the naughty woman Of fashion.
The young clergy fears That his
beloved work OF prayer is over and
so he tells the drunk a spicy story
And then the dead ones start to
realize they are dead.
It is in the second act that George
Gaul reaches the heights Of great
acting. 1t is in the third act that
Judith Lowry creates one Of those
wonderful scenes on the American
stage.
It is in the third act that Vivian
Tobin gives one Of the most ex-
quisite performances I have seen on
the stage in months.
And all through the show we have
the wonderfully sympathetic and al
ways in character work of Paul
Wright as Henry. Teresa Dale does
one Of those big and naughty per-
formances, which causes the show
to really open. George Gaul is as
fine and big as he has ever been in
my experiences Of seeing him act.
John Thorn shows that he Is an
actor of ability and not a one
character type. Ernest Cossart has
his big scenes in the third act only
when he appears. as the Rev. Frank
Thompson, one Of the many examin-
ers OF the dead.
From a scenic standpoint, the
setting used is right. absolutely
right.
Here is a big and intelligent piece
Of dramatic writing. One Of the real
treats Of any intellectual season of
real accomplishments upon the
stage. Not to be missed by those
who desire the best.

Potential Examples

William S. Ware, who won the Re
publican nomination for United
States Senator in a primary which
he and his supporters creased to
the extent of 900. or 100000. is
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
George Wharton Pepper, who lost
the nomination in the same pri-
mary, though he and his supporters
CREASED 1t to more than twice that
extent, Is a member Of the Senate.
Whether any law has been VIC
lated, or whether anybody can be
punished, it is within the power Of
Congress to make an example of
one or both of these men.

NOW If BRAINS WOULD ONLY
CO. TO HOLLYWOOD
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson :

Never has there been put out more excellent ad-
vice than recently given to girls by Miss Marion
L. Nell director Of the women's division Of the Cen
trail Casting Corporation at Hollywood. Miss Nell
says "Stay at home and don't seek fame and fortune
in the movies.
Let us hope that some millions OF ordinary young
women will take this message to heart
One of the things that has brought this condition
about and perhaps contributed to the downfall of

easy life they lead. The idea has become prevalent
that lovely face is all that is needed and that little
work or attached to this calling And indeed
most of the pictures verify the fact that one
need only be beautiful dumbben with long eyeashes
to get job.
But, after all, life holds the same longings in
Hollywood that it does in Honeygrove Texas Nor
all the glare Of the spotlights will to satisfy
those longngs For the happiness that publicity
brings is shortIived indeed Somebody else is always
coming along to crowd you off the front page. You
may your brief day in the glare of public notice.
but that day will pass all too and will be
Obliged settle down to hume drum life like the rest

You may proud Of the work you have done and the
praise you deserve from it. but the stable things which
bring Joy those simple things that have always
contributed to the happiness of women.
For you who watch with longing the pictured face
of beauty upon the may be great deal
fortunate and happier than she whom you envy.
One thing is certain these days: A ongsuffering
public earnestly hopes that the young Of the
country will listen Miss Mells advice. If they have
only comenesS to bring to the let that
they do stay at home. We already have enough of
simpering bathing beauties. What long for now
is somebody with little acting ability.

Precedents

Why, as Cicero asked concerning
Cataline, is George Wharton Pepper
permitted to occupy seat in the
Senate without rebuke, and why is
William s. Ware permitted to do the
same thing in the House?
Was the ostracism of Newberry a
mere partisan gesture? Was the
talk about Lorimer for no better
purpose than to fill a dull session?
If Berger's political opinion war
ranted his expulsion and If the
publication of vulgar document by
Blanton warranted censure can
Congress honestly say that 1t has
no ground for noticing Pepper and
Ware?

in the defeat Of Senator Stanfeld by Frederick
Steiwer the preservation of the primary law was part
of the ISSUE Politicians of both parties had about
concluded that the time had come to again make a
drive to repeal the primary act Steiwer was pretty
well committed to the plan and it was believed that
Stanfeld Of much the same mind. In furtherance
of the drive several county conventions held,
three Republican and two Democratic But a third
candidate appeared in the field in the person of AL
fred E. Clark, who openly charged deal between
the old parties to abolish the primary.
Clark offered himself as the candidate pledge to
preserve the primary.
This produced lively discussion The Repub-
Hcan and Democratic candidate were called upon to
define their attitude toward the primary. They took
to cover and all declared for the primary. At the
same time the calling of county conventions was
stopped. But when the ballots were counted 1t was
found that Clark not regular candidate and acting
merely as champion of the primary had polled $1,000
as against the $4,000 of stanfed and the $4,000 of
Stiewer.
Except for the issue Of saving the primary act,
the election went off personal matters.
The Oregon law permits no paid workers" In
this respect it differs sharply from the Pennsylvania
law. It specifies for what purposes money may be

and billing are other legitimate expenses

Tracy
There Is a Serious Threat
In This Pennsylvania
Primary Mess,
BY M. e. Tracy

Senator Reed has found at least
one man whom he thinks should be
prosecuted in connection with the
Pennsylvania slush fund.
That is of small Importance com
pared to the fact that, as a whole
the Pennsylvania slush fund rep
resents moral outrage.
Whether 1t was generally col
lected and expended within the law,
or whether some of its collections
and expenditures were of such a
nature that those responsible for
them can legally be punished, 1t
smells to high heaven Of abuse and
Extravaganza
The cry that custom called for
cash" only visualizes its threat as
all the more serious.

Matter of Degree

We have a law in this country
that sends men to prison for peddling
liquor by the pint.
we have a law too. that fines, or
jails men for exceeding the pre-
scribed speed limit, though they may
have harmed no one.
Yet, mere are a Senator and a
Representative in Congress. ad-
mittedly identified with a s2,50O,o 900
slush fund, raised and squandered
for the sole purpose of influencing a
State primary practice which, If
carried to it's ultimate conclusion,
would wreck the republic.

Shades of the F atherSI

If 1t was not to meet just such
emergencies as this. why did the
fathers place a provision in the Con-
stitution making each House the
Judge of its own members, without
regard to impeachment. Indictment
or violation Of law?
+ If Congress is unwilling to make
use of the power granted 1t by the
Constitution, or, what is even more
startling, If no member is interested
enough to see whether 1t Is willing
why should State courts or legisla-
lures show greater concern?

Astonishing

Many a comment has been made
on the Indifference Of Pennsylvan-
ians to the way they were deluged
with money.
1t is far more astonishing. per-
haps, that not one of the 535 mem
bers of Congress should have
thought fit to invoke the power Of
the Constitution. the only effective
method of reaching those who
sought to profit by such huge and
questionable expenditures.

Constitution Points Way

The Constitution Of the United
States provides that each house of
Congress shall be the judge Of its
own members.
This means that each house can
censure, suspend, or expel such
members as are guilty of conduct,
which, in it's opinion, is unbecom'
ing to their office. and that, too,
quite regardless of whether they
have violated any law. or are
subject to legal prosecution.
