Man Escapes After
LunchrOOm Shooting

While in a lunchroom at 1877
Seventh st. N. W., last night, Ralph
Evans, colored, 26, 1862 Thirtieth
st. N. W., became the butt Of the
old joke of Shoot him in the
pants.
So literally was the joke taken
that a bullet went whizzing through
his trousers leg without touching
the flesh itself. Following the firing
of the shot the assailant, who was
unknown to Evans, fled, hotiy pur'
sued by Policeman L. e. johnson,
OF the Second precinct.
Witnesses say that as the col
ored man ran he fired four shots
at the running policeman. johnson
returned the fire. 1t is claimed, but
the negro disappeared in an alley
between Covington and Church
Streets Northwest.

CROUCH RDERS' SCREEN
TREAT, SPIRITED DRAMA


Do you remember the home-com-
ing.
Do you remember Montauk Point
when the Rough Riders, weary and
decimited by war and fever - but
jubilant, nevertheless over their vic
tory and their return to loved ones
spoke their good-byes 10 one an
other?
This spirited scene of drama, COM
bining the sorrows of farewells with
comrades and the joys Of greeting
dear ones, is one of the most effec-
tive screen moments in THE Rough
Riders" at the Reese Theatre, To-
Gated at Harrington, Wednesday and
Thursday, December IA and is.
If you have been to war and lost
comrades and come home to find
dear ones, you will live every foot
of film in the Montauk Point Sc
quence.
There, Theodore Roosevelt took
leave of his valorous soldiers with
firm grip of hands and a human
trace of the weakness of tears in
eyes. And there, in the picture, a
handsome young soldier made eager
arrangements to hurry to San Anto-
MO where Mary Astor awaited him.
Two rivals for her hand had left for
the war. One was Charles Farrell,
and the other, Charles Emmett
Mack. Only one returns to claim her
and you'll get the heart-throb of the
year upon discovering who he is.

LACK OF BUGLERS
HELD UP PICTURE
'"Ihe Bugle Call" Company Canvass
ed for Them at M-G-M Studio
Current Reader)

NOAA ASAAA AhNeANAy
Mechanicians, electricians, techni-
clans and even two film cutters
were impressed nto service as tenn
porary actors, through an odd cir
cumstance in the making of Jackie
COogan's new Metro-Goldwyn-M May
err starring vehicle, now playing at
the Plaza Theatre.
The new play, 1.-THE Bugle Call"
is a vivid story of life in a frontier
cavalry post in the early '70's, with
Jackie in the role of a bugle boy
with a troop. Cavalrymen were re-
cruited to play the troop, and then
it was found that no buglers were
included.
A hurried census of the studio
was taken, and those who had
served as buglers during the war
were chosen from among ex-service
men at the studio (where there are
enough to maintain a post of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars as a
studio organization). These men
played the bugles for the scenes in
the picture.
The new play is a spectacular
historical romance laid about the
Indian fighting on the Bozeman
Trail in opening a gateway to the
West. Jackie plays a bugle boy, the
son of a captain of cavalry-which
role is portrayed by Herbert Raw
linson, and Claire Windsor plays
the heroine as the captains fancee
who later becomes Jackie's step
mother.
The cast includes Tom O'Brien,
Bodil Rosing, Harry Todd, Sarah
Padden, Johnny Mack-Brown, Nell
son Mcdowell, Mary Jane Irving,
Nancy Price and others of note.

TIME HOMOGENEOUS ape;


ance which restricts the beauty
of so many American cities, is
blamed by Henry }Boehm, we'll
known New York ARCHITECT, upon
the comparatively colorless build
ings, which fail to stimulate the
consciousness of the beholder when
viewed from a distance. There is
insufficient interest to attract the
eye beyond ting foreground, with the
result that the whole scene lacks
depth.
"Our principal buildings, says
Mr.. Boehmi while often impressive
in their TOW ering mass and outline
frequently tend to fade into a drab,
unnoticed background.
In many instances, Mr.. Boehm
believes, This condition is already

enrichment of these large struc-

Repair of the bridge, which sud-
denly began to collapse last spring
will be completed about Dec. Is,
Charles L. Riddle, works board
member announced.
Street cars tracks already have
been laid on the structure.
Sinking of the bridge last spring
was dramatic event which drew
thousands Of spectators to the scene
from all parts of the city.
Bridge Sinks Several Inches
One afternoon, a short time after
a street car had passed over safely
a noticeable sinking began, which
in few hours had caused the up
stream side Of the structure to drop
several inches.
A large crevice appeared in the
roadway, stones tumbled into the
creek, part Of the railing slipped
into the waters, and for a time II
appeared the entire structure would
collapse.
Police stood guard, College Ave
street cars and Union Traction
trains were ferouted over Central
Ave-. causing inconvenience to thou

cause.
They finally agreed the current
had washed under one Of the up
stream piers, causing it to settle.

Thc bridge had been a bone of con-
tention between city council mem

United Press STAFF Correspondept

BUCHAREST, Nov. 24-Prenier
lon Bratianu, virtual dictator of
Rumania, died at z a. m. today.
An operation for tonsilitis was
performed on the premier vester-
day by seven specialists. Last night
1t was announced the operation had
been difficult but successful Then
complications arose and the premier
died.
Bratianu's death followed a sec
ond operation performed last night
Blood poisoning set in and the nre-
mier died suddenly.
Bratianu had complained of diff
Guilty in breathing, caused by throat
trouble. An operation was decided
upon. Cabinet members witnessed
the surgeons work yesterday.
Appeal for Order
The government issued bulletin
confirming the death of the premier
and appealing to the people for or
der and patriotism. The situation
was characterized as q difficult or
deal"
Funeral services will be held Sum
day for the former premier, whose
body will lie in state at the Florica
castle.
With announcement of the death
OF the premier, the government
undertook measures to frustrate
new political offensiveS that might
be made to place former Crown
Prince Carol ON the throne, now
held by his small son, King Michael.
The cabinet met and decided to
propose the name of Vintila Bra
tianu, brother of the deceased pre-
mier, to succeed to the premiership.
Cabinet Renews Oaths
Members of the cabinet hurried
to the three members of the
regency and renewed their oaths of
allegiance. The regency is made up
Of Chief Justice Buzdugan, Miron
Cristea, patriarch of the Greek
Orthodox church, and Prince
Nicholas, second son of the late
King Ferdinand and heir apparent
to the throne.
The death of Premier Bratianu
undoubtedly will revive the struggle
to place the former Crown Prince
Carol on the throne of Rumania.
At the time the parliament acted
to declare Carols young son the
heir, Bratianu was said to be the
chief instigator.
Although Bratianu's cabinet pro-
visionally will continue in office,
it was understood the National
Peasant party would be asked soon
to join a coalition cabinet. The
Peasant party has strong sympathies
for Carol.
Hold Jobs Professionally
The ministers will hold their po-
sitions only Professionally, although
the regency acted to retain them
when the cabinet members appeared
before them today.
Beside the brother Of the dead
premier, former Foreign Minister
Duca and Prince Stirbey are men
toned for the post held by
Bratianu.
The present government prob
ably will continue until the par
lament passes a budget. After that
the coalition Of the Liberty party.
which now is In power, and the
Peasant party may be attempted.

feet Thanksgiving dinner.
At least four of the city's leading
chefs and meal planners today
agreed unanimously in listing roast
turkey, cranberry sauce, and can
died yam on menus they would sug-
gest for Thanksgiving dinner.
It's another distressing sign Of
Standardization, one radically and
cynically inclined might remark-a
sign that the American people are
as traditional in their food ideals as
they are in their moralS-that they
would as soon break away from tur-
key and cranberry sauce as they
would indorse Judge Ben Lindsey'S
scheme of companionate marriage.
But there was some difference in
opinion when the cooking experts
listed other menu items.
Oyster cocktail was the choice Of
three, with one dissenting vote for
fruit frappe. -.CucumberS and
grapefruit each won two votes as
suitable salads.
Mrs. Opal Conrad Of Manual
Training High School was firm in
her decision that cranberry sauce
never should be divorced from tur-
key. "Apple sauce belongs to pork, P"
she said, land cranberry sauce be-
longs to turkey. When we think OF
one, we think of the other"

LangloiS, French chef at the 1ndi-
annapolis Athletic Club.
Miss Florence Drury Of Technical
High School, however, added star
tling innovation to her menu by
serving popcorn with her soup in
stead of the traditional crackers.
But there was a hint, in fact
more than a hint, that two of the
food experts consulted suggested
their menus not as perfect meals, but
as ideal Thanksgiving dinners for
Americans.
Said George Botti, Columbia Club
italian chef:
II do not prepare what I consider
a good dinner, but what know
Americans will eat. Americans will
not eat boiled food. If prepare a
boiled dinner, have it left on my
hands, but If I fry up some pork
chops, sell a million.
Americans do not appreciate a
good meal. They must rush, rush,
rush. Eating is an art, and 1t re-
quires time to do it properly
Said Langiois, Athletic Club
French chef:
Prohibition, she spoiled eating.
She SPOILED everythingl People will
not take the time to eat when they
can not drink.
Americans do not know how to
enjoy their food. They will take tir
