 Authorities have substituted the German word "'Fremdenheim" Literally. visitors home) in the directory without notifying the innkeepers. The arbitrary change, 1t Is charged means the loss of business as even Germans would never think of looking under the "F's" in the directory for a pension" Furthermore they say '"Fremdenhem" sounds too much like some sort of an asylum.

 Smoking and profanity are both the results of trying 10 show off.

 They expect us to take the initia- tive to stop it," complained one ycungster.
 In Brooklyn, during q joint dis cussion for boys and girls averaging t7 years of age, it was decided that to check the habit of "petting' self control was necessary on both sides.

NAI1UNAL-Da Mothers.
An excellent reward awaits the fol.
lowers Of the National Players, whose
loyalty still holds out though the
nominal end of the season is near at
hand
Dancing Mothers" is the name of
the reward and it features Rhea Dive
ley in a role especially to her liking.
Since her appearance as Mana in
Seventh Heaven" several weeks ago,
Miss Diveley has been waiting around
doing small bits and having little
chance to show her real powers as
an emotional actress. AS the charm
ingly rebellious Mrs. Hugh Westcount,
on her excessively selfish and gay
husband and daughter, Miss Diveley
does the best work of her engagement
here The role is easily susceptible of
overplaying, but she deals with 1t with
just the right amount of reserve, even
though her first performance disclos-
ed a nervousness that was natural.
The play also marks the first real
opportunity for Alexis Luce, the new
leading man. He is cast as Godfrey
Naughton, the man-about-tOwn over
whom too many women go into &C.

formance in a part that isn't the most
felicitous The potential possibilities
that he family displayed last week in
a minor part are more fully develop
ed in the present characterization

seen in Washington before, both as

Brooke is the one that appeared here
first-the one in which the mother
goes back to her husband and daugh'
ter after chastising them sufficiently
for their heartless treatment of her.
1t will be remembered that the play
as it appeared here a second time had
an entirely different ending-the
mother going away with the lover.
The ending selected by Director
Brooke probably better meets the de-
mands Of a stock performance.
Romaine Calendar, who played mix
ed doubles with a saxophone last
week, is the husband Of the dancing
mother, and he does very convinc'
ing piece Of work. Dorothy Tterney,
who has materially developed during
the last few weeks, does nicely by
the part of the f1apper daughter.
