A Lovely Viking
and Much Ado on
the Stage

This review Is just "a hours
late. but 1t doesn't seem to have
made much difference to the box
office at Loew's Palace Theater.
The turnstiles, figuratively
speaking. are clicking out Larry
Beatus' favorite tune, The
Loew's Uncl March, and flap
pers and grandmothers, with
suitable escorts, are pouring In
to pay tribute to the talents OF
Greta Carlo and. Il we are not
mistaken, the new cinema sensa-
ton, Al. Cloyd Gill.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Gill con-
ductor of the Times-Herald radio
news flashes and president Of the
Thirty Club. has asked that the
Palace cut out that part o. the
MON. newsreel showing his
wedding at Station WMAII. for
reasons best known by himself.
Here is Barrymore nipped in stl1e
bud for fair. Gill probably will
always remain a. newspaper man.
However, a few are still In
terested in Greta Carlo. The
glorious Swede gets her first in
dependent starring role at the
Palace this week In The Di-
vine Woman" It's q romance
built around the life Of Sarah
Bernhard, although this re-
viewer declines to vouch for any
OF the facts.
It's an excellent vehicle for
Greta, allowing her to change
from the ugly duckling to the
beautiful swan as q Partisan &C
tress. and to run what we have
facetiously niclnamed the gamut
OF human emotions, from rustic
simplicity to urbane sinfulnessf
Lars Hanson does brilliantly as
the soldier boy whom Greta loves,
while Lowell Sherman leers in the
background as the bad, bad stage
manager.
Now, please wait for the stage
show. It's John Murray Ander-
sons production, Roman Nights,
which introduces, among other
things, M. Sonia Gluck's marvel
ously funny burlesque ballet.
There are all kinds and varieties
Of dancers clOgging up the stage
from one end Of the act to the
other. The Ven Dancers, how
ever, don't wear clogs. Occasion
ally there is burst of song, and
over all beams the benevolent old

'DiInpled Darlings'
With Nary a
Dinple

Searching for a title for his
burlesque show Eddie Sullivan
picked "Dimpled Darlings," but
from the vantage point of a seat
in A row at the Gayety last
night the writer was unable to
detect any dimples. There is
much nudity, some avoirdupois in
the back row, riotous comedy and
altogether an entertaining bur-
lesque show, so why quarrel about
the lack of dimples.
AS Miss Personality" Nora
Ford took the house by storm.
Her style of dancing and the
poppy way in which she gets
over her song numbers had the
boys constantly yelling for more.
The young lady seemed tireless.
George Leon, a comedian new
to Washington. is indeed a funny
fellow and with Eddie Lorraye
won gales of laughter with his
rough and tumble antics. Abe
Sher has a good voice and was
entitled to the big hands he re.
ceived. With Walter Marion
these three put over some close
harmony and a burlesque band
number that was a scream. Dolly
Barrenger, somewhat Amazonian,
rather intrigued the customers
with her strutting. while Babe
Mason took a number Of bows
with hnT offering
It looks like big week for

THE GATE-POST
By Harold Phillips

Every time nsurgent youth launches idea the
shoals of the leaps
his shoulders and weighs him down until the smotherng surf
itself until seny masquerading wisdom
sets in and makes trying not worth while.

people who could have used these
seats while they were in escrow,
have been turned away.
Further-Mr. Cochran still speak
ing-any number of people make
reservations in advance, uncer.
tain as to their ability to go, but
to insure against a dull evening
if an emergency should turn up.
Few of these, tieing seats up
days ahead, take the trouble to
cancel them, to say nothing Of
picking them up.
This may be so, say the queue
opponents. Then why not be con.
sistent and Danish mail and tele-
phone orders for all attractions,
the season through? Mr.. Coch.
rams answer to this is that any
good policy must be reasonably
flexible. Theaters, he says. are
like department stores. They
handle slow-moving goods as we'll
as smart sellers. What is tanta-
mount to stores bargain sale
to. get rid Of slow lines is the
theater's mail order and phone
concession to jog up the minor
attractions.
'This is not to be construed,
though" says Mr.. Cochran, "as
saying that all attractions for
which mail orders are accepted
need to be artificiaIiy popped up.
The public knows better than
that. We have picked certain
attractions for the experiment
and on the result of this expert
ment win depend our subsequent
policy"
In nearly every other line Of
business, when options are made
on future purchases, the optioner
loses his deposit il he doesn't go
through With the deal. Not so in
the theater.
The drama editors would be the
first to throw cleated shoes, full
OF feet, on this queue proposition,
were they not close enough to
theater routine to know OF the
impositions practiced on theatars.
AS soon as a theater announces
"No mail orders!' every drama
desk in the city becomes an in.
voluntary box office, through the
habit of indolent suppliants re-
minding of the time they met you
at party and would you be
good enough to use your influ-
ence to get me four on the aisle
for Monday night? Junior has a
bad case of crumpets and 1 can't
get down town.
This order. is simple. The "If''
parlays are the real annoyances.
j. Cumbersome Dawdle, who can't
see You for dust on anything less
than Molly days Of obligation, at.
fects his most ingratiating voice
and puts in the following order:
-Four Monday night in the or.

you can't get these do what you

forgets to specify how many seats
for those 1T" nights

NAVY PERSONNEL
PROGRAM URGED.
Admiral Leigh Would Provide
for New Vessels Without
Depicting Others.

Adoption of a personnel program
which would go hand in hand with a
naval building program so that new
vessels could be placed in commission
without the necessity of depicting other
China and Central America, Admiral
nual report of Rear Admiral R. H.
Leigh, chief of the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton of the Navy Department. Per-
sonnel, he said, should be provided a
year before new ships are to go into
commission so that the crews can be
trained during that time.
Not only have the appropriations for
pay, subsistence and transportation been
insufficient to provide compliments for
ships, but they have been inadequate
to provide the minimum numbers of
men which may be considered neces-
Sary for peace time operation only
without thought for mobilization or
maximum efficiency of operation in
China and Central America, Admiral
Leigh says. For example, he adds the
minimum of men required for the peace
time operation only of ships in commiG-
sion for 1928 was 1888. To meet this
demand Congress provided for SO, $50
men.
He says that 86,349 men is the mini
mum number of men needed for eff
cient peace-tine operation only. It
does not provide for nucleus crews for
mobilization, nor for compliments on
Asiatic or Central American ships.
These minimum needs were arrived at
after careful survey of the reports and
recommendations of flag officers, boards
of officers and individual commandin.
officers. The absolute minimum which
should be available has been carefully
worked out, but the inability of the
bureau to furnish this minimum figure
by shortage of 2,349 men is seriously
felt in the fleet.
He calls attention to the fact that
the crews of other ships had to be re-
duced in order to commission the great
airplane carriers Lexington and Sara
toga. Five new light cruisers, which
will require about 1878 men, are due to
be placed in commission in 1880, two
of them in the first month of that year,
yet no provision is made for the men in
the estimates for 1929. Therefore, the
active fleet must be robbed again

coat collars turned up about their
mouths and caps tightly drawn, the
men had stepped suddenly into the

never acted that way before, they
worked with speed until they got out
