Sketches

Bill was one of those wiggly, mis-
chlevous boys who couldn't sit still
a minute. He had more wasted en-
ergy than sixteen monkeys and was
about as nice to have around. He
enjoyed banging folks over the head,
or punching them in the back or
otherwise venting his unlimited sup
ply of pep in some disagreeable
form.
The school teacher said he was
"incorrigible." The neighbors said
The was just out-and-out bad And
what the milkman said when he fell
over the string Bill had stretched
to trip him simply can not be
printed!
One day he went to the Boys
Club in his neighborhood and found
new delights. Leading a "bunch"
into mischief was more fun than
playing lone hand and he had
himself a big time upsetting meet
ings and causing riots. Then the
director of the club made strategic
move; he put Bill in charge of his
group and charged him with the
responsibility of preserving law and
order. And it worked
Bill, the Indian, who was on the
way to being Bill, the OUTLAW, be-
came Bill, the leader, whose word.
is law in his gang, and whose law
righteous.
This was service to the child,
the family and the whole city made
possible because of

ure for her to tap their pocketbooks.
And is she proper little gold dig
ger? She is more than that be-
cause when she starts either pros
pecting or even digging, she has a
witness in her friend, Dorothy Shaw.
At times Dorothy admits that she
must concentrate upon the Armen-
ian massacre or she will laugh right
in the face of some of Lorelei's VIC
tins.
In other words. l am trying to tell
you the Berkell Players are doing a
wonderfully bully job of Gentle
men Prefer Blondes" at the Colonial.
Here is smart nifty comedy full
of wise remarks and even wiser sit
uations. 1t is show that taxes the
ability of any company but the Ber-
kell Players crashes through with a
mountaineering Interpretation.
In the first place it gives Miss
Alney Alba her first chance to show
Of what she is made. She plays
Lorelei as she should be played. She
makes Lorelei the clever little gold
digger who digs and digs gold, Oh,
so painlessly from old men and some
who are not so old.
And Miss Alba dresses the role as
1t should be dressed. Miss Alba
possesses a light but sure comedy
touch. She knows how to speak
rapidly and at the same time pro-
nounce every word clearly.
1t is to be expected that Idabelle
Arnold would romp away with the
role of Dorothy Shaw. the vulgar
and clever wise-cracking companion
of the master gold digger. She has
been given WOW lines and she makss
them vows.
Milton Byron comes through with
a finished performance in the part
of Henry Spoffard, a fine old re-
former who just loves to hear
naughty stories and see vulgar post
cards. Byron is using masterful
comedy touch this week. He is
using, no hokum tactics but is doing
a nlarvelously interesting legitimate
characterization.
j. F. NARROW is cast as the French
attorney who sells and sells. An
excellent performance. The cast in
cludes William v. Hull, Cyrilla
Tuite, Adelaide Melnotte, Larry Sui
Ivan, who is excellent as one of the
gold daddies; Inez Wolfe, Bernice
Marsolais, Helen Hirt, Lester Hor-
ton, Herbert Dobbins and Robert st.
Clair.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" has
been splendidly mounted and the
truth is that Harvey Scblueter has
done a marvellous job in decorating
the sets. This is the richest and
best mounted bill that BerkelI las
ever given this season.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is
the opening bill of the fall and WIN
ter season at the Colonial. 1t is a
comedy triumph.
The wise ones will buy Gentle
men Prefer Blondes" and those who
want to be wise will buy it.
At the Colonial all week.

tell, just what he said to Senator Watson anc

tell, just what he said to Senator Watson and
what he asked him to do?
Senator Watson says that he wrote letters
through Indiana which he hoped would keep
Shumaker out of Jail, as he had been asked to
do by his colleague.
Did Robinson tell Watson where to send
the letters? Did he convey to him an idea of
what should be done with case in the Supreme
Court, and suggest course of actionY
There is another incident that is a matter of
accusation on the part of Watson That is the
fact that when Dr. Shumaker telephoned to
Watson at the northern lake and broke up a
bridge party, the telephone call went from the
home of Senator Robinson.
Robinson talked first--or did he talk?
What did he say to Watson thenf Was he
merely the telephone girl who acted as the
agent Of Shumakerf Or did he voice the fear
that something must be done quickly to save
them both from possible political disasters
"There is time to speak, and surely that
time is now. The people want to know. The
lawyers of this State should wish to know
How long will Senator Robinson stand ST.
lent, in view of the fact that the Watson letter,
by fair inference, charges him with doing what
the Attorney General says was corrupt at
tempt to influence the Supreme Court, I" when
committed by the dry leader9
Surely he will hardly wish to wait for that
high court to drag his story from his lips as
witness. His senatorial dignity and high re-
gard for his own office should prompt him to
take the people into his confidence
This is matter which can not be stifed or
smothered or ignored.

with thoroughly reconstructed
show. New songs and dances are
plentyfully scattered throughout the
entertainment.
Joe Hill and Max Coleman are the
comedians who are responsible for
a large majority of the slap stick
comedy and are the foils for many
OF the jokes. Coleman, who is the
Hebrew comedy man, is the fea-

well-trained voice and having the
right vocal numbers, the prima
donna, Gladys Mccormack, predom-
mates in her bits. Her costumes
are perhaps a bit more bizarre than
is usual upon the local burlesque
stage.
New dances and songs are intro
duced by featured members of the
company in the interludes. The ac-

plot, moves at a rapid pace and is
freely intercepted with dashing the

| personality midget athletes are a
sensation. Cute and then some.
The Observer makes the following
report on the feature picture at
Keith's:
Most boosters are plain prevari-
Gators, and the majority of men who
really do something say little about
| it, but Rod La ROGUE, as Etteine
Gerald, is a boaster who can make
good his words.
AS country boy, soldier and
swordsman in the Jarnies of Ma
poleon, Gerald let's every one within
sound of his voice know that great
honor is being done them for Et-
teine Gerald, friend of the emperor
is near.
1.-The Fighting Eagle" taken from
1.-THE Adventures of Gerald" by A.
Conan Doyle, exploits in manner
most engaging the deeds of the
bragadosive Etteine Gerald, who
was, according to his own words,
and those of others, a most unique
soldier and the best swordsman in
all T rance.
Ever boasting and always doing
Gerald comes to the notice of Ma
poleon, through the efforts of a
beautiful countess, played by Phyl-
lis Haver, who is engaged in secret
service work on behalf of the EN-
peror. The Countess, who is as
clever as she is pretty, is really the
reason of the advancement of Ger
aid, for she manages to have the
emperor notice the results of his
work.
While the work of Miss Haver as
the countess is not exceptional it
gives her a chance to display a bril-
liant talent which predominates her
parts.
The actor playing Napoleon,
whose name do not know, gives a
marvellous Interpretation Of the I'M
fortunate Corsican. His every &C
ton portrays the dominating leader
and soldier and his dress and move
ments conform historically with
those of the great monarch.
The work of La ROGUE is especi-
ally noteworthy. From somewhere
the continental spirit has crept into
his work and much of the Holly
wood touch" is gone. AS an I'M
calmly country innkeeper he is de-
lightful and the swagger and self
esteem that he acquires upon be-
coming a soldier makes him worthy
of the boast.
Needless to say, as the picture is
a historical reproduction, that the
costumes worn by the principals and
even the minor characters are be-
yond reproach. While a few of the
sets are a gesture Of grandure they
seem to faithfully retain the touch
of the period.
I would say, however, that the
name 1.-THE Fighting Eagle" seems
to belle the picture. La ROGUE,
Phyllis Haver and the man playing
Napoleon do some good and clever
bits of acting that makes the picture
really noteworthy.
At Ketih's all week.

The Forgetful Farmer

Nobody should know better than farmer the
unwisdom of putting all his eggs in basket. Yet
it sometimes appears that the farmers are doing this
in their demands for legislative relief obsessed with
the McNary- Haugen plan, the farmers--and farm
leadersare forgetting certain other things of great
Importance.
About the time the furore over farm relief starts
in the next Congress. there will be quiet court pro-
ceeding under way to determine the valuation of
United States railroads The financial stake involved
according to Commissioner Eastman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, is thirty billion dollars. The
kind of valuation allowed by the court will materially
affect the freight rates the farmers pay
Yet the records of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission do not reveal any farm leader taking any
official interest in the matter.
A few years back the farmers put up fierce fight
to have the Department of Agriculture supervise
trading in grain futures The result the setting
up of special bureau for that purpose This bureau
proceeded to get information and in due time II
issued one of the most spectacular reports issued
by government agency
The report said that in wheat futures the big fell
low nearly always gives the little fellow the worst Of
It, It showed the farmers how this happens. 1t was
just the thing the farmer had been wanting to know
But. because publication of such information was
thought to act as curb grain speculation, the
Department of Agriculture put stop to the new
bureaus activities.
Yet we don't hear howl from the farmers or the
farm leaders.
The Packers and Stockyards Administration was
established the result Of long fight by the farm
ers. Recently its functions transferred to the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, an agency ill-equpped
to handle economic problems involved in marketing
livestock.
But the farmers leaders appear not to be interested
