RAMBLERS RING
UP SMASHING
HIT AT MET"

The Metropolitan Ramblers In.
stalled at CrandalPs Metropolitan
theater last week as an auxiliary
orchestra give every promise OF
becoming one of the most popular
groups ever placed permanently
in a Washington playhouse.
It should be understood that
the Ramblers are not recruited
from the membership of the
Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra
under the conductorshsp Of Daniel
Breeskin but are an especially
assembled orchestra OF twelve
young artists who play in an en-.
tirely different spirit and tempo
from the Metropolitan symphony,
which divides the day with the
Ramblers.
The Ramblers begin with syn
copated overtures at 1850 In the
morning and play until 1880 In
the afternoon and then resume at
S and play until 1880, thus estab-
fishing for the first time at any
Washington motion picture thea
ter a policy of continuous orches-
the first performance in the morn
ing until the closing Of the theater
at II o'clock at night.
The Metropolitan Ramblers are
under the conductorishlp Of Mil
ton Davis, long recognized as
Washington's premier pianist and
pipe organist.

Eva Fay, the High Priestsss.
Of Mysticism." appearing next
week at the Strand In : marvellous
display Of mind reading ability,
is one Of two women that the
scientific world look UP to for
their seemingly supernatural
powers. Madam Thebes, Of
France. IL the other.
These two women have made
predictions which were scoffed
at but when they proved true
the scoffers changed their at
titudes and began to wonder.
They still wonder but With frank
confession OF their belief in the
things Eva Fay and Madame
Tflebes do.
Eva Fay IL modest despite the
sensations she creates wherever
she appears. She does not ask
anyone to believe her predictions
or statements in answer to ques-
tions put to her by her audience.
She wants the things she says
to be seen, and they are. she
claims to be just one of US,
but there IS an air Of, mystery
about her just the same. She
has aided many with problems
which had them baffled.
Many youths who were UNI
able to choose their vocations
were made successful by the
faith they put in her advice, and
many women were saved from
unhappy marriages by privateiy
consulting Eva Fay. She is still
glad to do this for all.

"Hello Paree" tells a story

OF all the strange audiences
before which she has appeared,
and she has sang in all parts OF
the world, the strangest, says
Ethael Albertini, the beautiful
italian prima donna of Broad
way Brevities," this weeks at
traction at the Gayety Theater,
was the mixed audience in
Pago-Pago in the Samoan Is
lands.
When the ship on which she
was a passenger stopped en-
route from the Far East to Aus
tralia, following an old custom,
she was part of the performers,
amateur and professional, who
gave a show while their ship
was in port.
In the audience were white
officials, planters and traders,
and a large number of the poly
nesian grandees Of the islands.
Songs were what the natives
enjoyed most and it was not the
topical songs that they seemed
to delight in most, but those OF
the opera and the classics.
Mile. Albertini sings in three
languages besides Englist
namely Italian, Spanish and
French. She is an Italian by
birth. and this is her first sea-
son in Columbia Burlesque.

sent back word they had never
heard of Rogers, or a message
to that effect.
Whereupon the comedian
stepped out of his character at
the Saturday night performance
to remark that President Hard
ing was the first American
statesman who had resented his
Joking remarks. He said he
had directed his patter to
Presidents Wilson. Taft and
Roosevelt and they had all TAX len
it in a real spirit of fun.
A month or two later Presl-
dent Harding had occasion to
go to New York to address the
Associated Press banquet. A
theater party had been arranged
for the evening to entertain the
Chief Executive. When the
party was all ready for the
theater, Harding asked casually
where they were to go. ITO
the Ziegfeld Follies with Will
Rogers" was the answer. Then
and there it was decided that
the show the President would
see would be "The Music Box
Revue" Thus the incident
ended.
The entente cordiale was not
restored between the White
House and Will Rogers until the
advent of President Coolidge.
