Charlie Madrigal, assistant to the
secretary of the interior and one of
the presidents pets, makes love to
the presidents niece for business
reasons and to two other cookbook
ing girls for pleasure. The husband
of one of the latter, Duke Forrest,
discovers the liason and, after imbib-
ing few hookers of booze proceeds
to blow the love-thief off the map in
the Crows Nest during poker game.
For disturbing the game and threat
ening to expose the players, Duke is
promptly murdered in the bathroom.
The threatened storm now breaks
in all it's fury. Senator Yelling
Burton K. Wheeler in real life-is
blowing off the lid in the senate. A.
B. Falls purchase of a ranch for
which he made an initial payment of
100000 is ferreted out. Charlie Ma
drigal is caught with the goods. Three
members of the cabinet threaten to
resign. Dan Lurcock has his hands
full fixing, fixing, fixing. The de-
partment of justice is on twenty
four-hour-day schedule framing Sem
ator Yelling and his aides. Fall is
frantic and begging for succor. Hard
ing still believes in his friends. He
will stick by them. He is drinking
heavily, anon making patriotic
speeches from the white house porch
while members of the gang listen Gym
ically from the privacy of the cab
met meeting room, to the Chiefs"
patriotic perorations on home and
country and flag. The protector of
the family, the foundation of modern
civilization, retires from the plaudits
of his admirers to enjoy a few illicit
moments with Edith Westervelt in
the cabinet room where national poll
cies are formally adopted after be-
ing determined over the Scotch and
poker chips in the Crows nest.
/ All thru the drama the president is
represented as the trusting, big
hearted victim of the gang of thieves
that surrounded him. Despite the
warnings of friends and the advice of
his clandestine sweetheart he signs a
statement written by Lurcock which
eXonerates Candy (FalD. Shortly
afterwards in the Crows Nest he
comes into possession of proof that
his pet Charlie Madrigal is crook
who robbed the people" of 100000.
Here Markham becomes animated
and lays violent hands on Madrigal.
The latter is forced by Lurcock to
confess but not before he arranges
with one of his sweethearts to make
copies of his evidence on his pals
which gets into Senator Welling's
hands. Irene Homer, who plays the
part of Zoe Farley, is the Roxie Stin-

BertOn Churchill
The play lacks the grip and pull of
the book, chiefly because the role of
Willis Markham, the president, as
played by Berton Churchill, leaves
the audience emotionally neutral.
Markham might pass for a we'll
groomed chief butler as played by
Churchill but hardly as the boon COM
panions of the gambling, grating,
hard drinking, ition-enforcing,
members of the "Ohio gang" that
looted at will during the Harding re-
gime. Indeed, outside of the presi-
dents prowess in front of the bottle
and his rather anaemic clandestine
love affair with Edith Westervelt,
Willis Markham, seemed to be fit on
ly for the role of "The Perfect Sap"
Berton Churchill looks too intelligent
to do justice to his role and perhaps
lacks the dramatic genius to lose him
self in the character he essayed to
portray.
Despite its histrionic shortcomings
and the Indifferent acting of most of
the players, "Revelry" is strong meat
for readers of the Daily Worker. Dur
ing its short-lived existence in Phila-
delphia it gave the bourgeois quakers
a collie in their political midriffs.
They would have it locked up in a
warehouse by court order The Co
than bourgeois would annihilate it by
the gas attacks of their critics-a
deadlier method.
The curtain rises on a poker game
in the Crows Nest, a snug hangout
where the chips flew and the glasses
clinked merrily. Candy, the garralous
and nervous secretary of the interior
was there, and it did not require
close acquaintance with political per-
sonalities Of the last decade to mark
this fellow down as A. B. Fall.
Dan Lurcock, the boss of the gang
and the Inventor" of the president,
is there. Hard-headed, red-faced and
INSCRIPTIONS, he can carry his Scotch
and direct the operations of the gang
without lurch in his gate or a
twitch of his nerves. Harding-beg
pardon, Markham-arrives to join
the party. Other patriotic thieves are
present. Jeff Sims keeps the glasses
replenished. Markham loaded to the
scuppers decides to take a little walk
in quest of adventure. He declines
the offer of his companions to accom-
pany him. He lodges his secret serv-
ice bodyguard and in the next scene
we find him mudstained and dishev-
illed, with hands pointed to the roof
in front of a revolver in the home of
Edith Westeltelt, the handsome tho
rather frigid-looking woman who is
tired of life and is nursing a cute
little bottle of poison, which Willis
Markham confiscates for her own
protection after becoming enamoured
of her.
This love affair never amounted to
anything. 1t is nothing like the
Presidents Daughter" with Nan
Britton, playing opposite. But Edith
Westervelt appears to be more ami
mated mentally than sexually while
the reverse seems to be true of one
of the other women in the presidents
life.

PROFESSIONAL WOMEN
DEMAND MALE TITLES

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS. French professional
women are insisting on masculine
titles when they do mems work.
"Doctoresse, to describe a woman
doesn't please the ladies
any more.
In court. they get their lawyers
title of "Maitre" because there isn't
anything else to give them.
In many lines. however. there is
a feminine gender for the words
lawyer. pilot, aviator. salesman and
teacher. but there is no word for a
female professor. probably because
the French never expected woman to
reach that exalted stage.
Many French professional women
now simply take the masculine title
use an initial for their Christian
names and let the customer patient

that they are women.

ture elected by the people of Alas.


 American plan of self-government in Alaska, the bill would have pass ed; if Howard had voted for it, al. so, it would have been passed over the Governors veto, and would have become law. But both of them kept faith with the Tory opponents of a Democratic form of govern ment, and defeated it.
 It was thought for a time that Senator Dunn would finally vote against free government in Alaska. But the Juneau Empire and Stroller's Weekly, both supporting the non public interests, :'puffed" him in their editorials and by copying his tirades against the bill, until Le forgot that an Irishman ought to vote for home rule. In his last great windmill speech against self government he declared that he had been approached by some evil dis posed person to vote for it. He likened the approach" to that event in sacred history where the Savior was conducted to the noun tain top and shown all the king doms of the earth he might control if he would fall down and worship the devil.
 There was really some basis of truth in this tale of the Ruby Je- sus, too, for during one of his pre- vious outbursts he declared the Comptroller Bill was being sup ported by men who wished to se- cure the appointment of one of it's supporters as Comptroller in case the bill passed. One of his brother Senators, however, assured him that he was mistaken, that the cleo tion of man to serve as Comp troller until the general election ty the people in 1928, was not agreed upon, and that if he (Senator Dump and his friends would vote for and pass the bill, they might name the man to act until 1928!

 cd so far to the control of those op- posing self-government in Alaska that they were no longer free to vote for the public interest
 If Senator Dunn, of Ruby, or Howard, of Anchorage, had favor ed plan of self-government in Alaska, either of them could have secured it by voting for the Cont troller Bill. If either of these men had opposed government in Alas ka by Federal Bureaus, he could have destroyed that system by vot- ing for the Comptroller Bill, and thus freed the people of Alaska from control by a group of appoint i've Federal officials, who are re- sponsible for their actions only to the Secretary of the Interior in Washington, D. c. One single vote would have laid the foundation oe self-government in Alaska and de- strOyed the appointed Federal Ma chine which now controls the des- tiny of the people of the Territory; Dunn, and also Howard, had that vote at his disposal, by the grace of the people of their respective districts, and refused to cast it for self-government. They deliberately betrayed the people of Alaska and cast their votes in favor of an ap- pointive Federal Bureaucratic Gov- ernment therein.
 A PUBLIC NOTICE
 The American plan of Territorial Government for Alaska will be pre- scented the next legislature for it's adoption. If the people of Alaska approve of self-government and op- pose 8 Federal Bureaucratic control of their local affairs, they must look to the patriotism and character of the men whom they elect to the legislature, and see to it that no Tory in disguise shall be elected to betray them.

 The signed document provides that the employee shall have free transportation north in the spring and south in the fall provided he remain all season. But this con- tract also provides that the super intendent of the work shall be the sole judge of whether the employee does his work properly, and that the employee shall have no right to question the justice of this decision.
 Hundreds of employees are thus discharged every summer when the work becomes slack, on the pretext they are unsatisfactory. They have signed away their rights to appeal to the courts. These people as |. rule, are left stranded. They re- ceive no transportation back to the
 
 states and cost of transporting them north is deducted from what they have earned.
 BY WAY OF ILLUSTRATION
 When this bill was before the labor mmittee-Gaffney in the chair-the Attorney General, as an illustration, called attention to ona case where a man and his wife hired out for the season to do the cooking at a cannery. The two had arrived in April and had signed up for the season, which meant until October. As soon as the Superin tendents wife arrived they were notified they were unsatisfactory, were sent away with the cost of transportation deducted, and the newly arrived wife became cook and received their pay. The aggrieved had no redress because the contract provided that the Superintendent should be the sole judge of whether the employee did his work.
 It was ofund that three years ia succession the Superintendent had practiced the same fraud upon tho cooks hired for the season.
 But the Gaffney-Lowmen cOm> bine said by their votes that no re- liof chnnld he afforded. tsN0 good
