THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The rounding of the home grounds
into shape in the Spring is one of the
most interesting phenomena in Ma

scope merely. by the same thing tax.
ing place throughout a great city.
Despite what may be termed a most
backward and strange season, grass
everywhere is coming into it's own
even in those yards that held out the
longest. Not for several years has
Washington displayed such good
lawns.
The White House grounds to the
north might be held up as an ex-
ample. The beautiful green there is
secured by the use of Italian rye, and
when it dies down later, it will be COW
cred by other grasses growing up, in
Guiding the various bents.
One of the striking tulip displays of
recent days was in the large bed just
north of the entrance to the west of
flee building at the White House.
Warmth from the steam pipes run
ming from the State, War and Navy
Building caused a crescent of tulips
to bloom long before the remainder.
Certainly it was most unusual bed
with about one-eighth of its flowers in
bloom, the remainder only green
leaves and some buds. Those who ac-
cept flowers just as matter of fact
thought nothing of it, but visitors who
know a thing or two about growing
things invariably wondered why some
of the tulips came into bloom so much
earlier than the rest, since they were
all the same variety.

Spring growth is nothing less than
sort of natural magic. Though we
see the same thing every year, we
never cease to marvel at it.
Here is a grass plot with practically
no grass in it. There are few strag-
Cling clumps, some fine weeds and a
very large amount of bare earth.
The householder has allowed the
Winter freezes to kill his grass roots.
He spent hours watering his lawn last
Summer, only to bring the roots to
the surface, where lowered tempera-
lures froZe them into nothing.
Yet not all of them were ended, for
here new blades are arising, and, with
the judicious addition of grass seed,
the householder may have q lawn
shortly as good as the one he had
last year.
The growth of the grass is inspiring
to any one who will allow it to be so,
Not every one will, of course. But to
him VINO mas the nature TO De I'M
pressed by the ordinary things of
everyday life, the growth of the grass
in the Spring is an inspiring sight.
Little by little the green comes
back. Yards bare and bleak all Win
ter take on qualities of beauty which
the home owner remembered from
last Spring, but which nevertheless he
found difficult to visualize.
Now the thing is difficult no longer.
Here, before his very eyes, Spring Is
spreading her mantle of green over
his back yard, over every ones yard.
The very trees, the naples and lin
dens, are coming into leaf.
This IS the happiest time of the
year, is it not?

The joys of Winter have been sung
by the red-blooded. The warmth of
Summer, the tingle Of Autumn-these
have inspired their bards.
Spring, however, in the wonder Of
her beauty, has inspired more poets
than all the other seasons put togeth-
er. She has caused more musicians
to tune their instruments, and made

Beloved Obscurity.
She never committed a terrible crime,
Nor played in the bandit game.
She supervised dinner and had 1t on

Though she is unknown to fame,
We love her, just the same!
Her picture Is never unfurled on the

A prominent place to claim.
She hasn't chance to appear on the

AS a wild, tempestuous dame.
We love her, just the same!

To tell the police your name,
And though you are missing the sobs

The populace likes to frame,
We love you-Just The Same

ELTINCE THEATRE

Pola Negri returns to distinctly
foreign roles in wholly foreign
background in her latest starring We
hicle, "Hotel Imperial" which will
be shown at the Eltingc on Monday
and Tuesday.
The result has been acclaimed the
greatest performance she has ever
given, greater even than passion"
which first brought her to the
heights Of fame. In order to give
the picture perfect foreign atmos-
phere, Paramount gave Miss Negri an
almost wholly European cast and
production staff. Erich Pommer,
formerly head of UFA, Gcrmany's
leading film organization, produced
it as his first in America. Mauritz
Stiller, noted Swedish director. also
makes his American debut with this
film. The cast, besides Miss Negrl,
includes three Germans, two Rus
SLAMS and only one American, James
Hell. who PLAYS opposite the star.
The tremendous success which has
been won by "Hotel Imperial" is as
serted to bear out the contention that
Miss Negri does her best work when
portraying colorful foreign charac-
ters. In her supporting cast, beside
Hall, are George Siegmann, Max Da-
wilson, Otto Fries, Michael Yavitch
and Nicholas Soussanin.
