BETHESDA CITIZENS
FIGHT NAME CHANGE
Move to Call Community
Chevy Chase Probably Will
Be Abandoned.

The movement originating in the
Bethesda Chamber Of Commerce several
months ago to change the name of
Bethesda to Chevy Chase is meeting
with such stiff opposition that sup
porters of the change have virtually
dropped all efforts to accomplish their
objective. For the present at least. it
was learned yesterday from chamber
officials, no further consideration will
be given the matter.
Opposition developed in all COM
munities of the largely populated
Washington suburban section in Mont

The final blow was delivered this week
when the Woman's Club OF Bethesda
went on record as unanimously op-
posed to changing the name to Chevy
Chase or to any other name. The

organization of women, took similar
action several weeks ago.

Chamber Of Commerce, and while action

True, the illness of Eddie
Cantor, which forced closing of
the last Follies while it was yet
in the gusher stage, was an
unfortunate break for Zieg-
field, as it was for the road
theater owners who were certain
of retrieving some part of a

field has threatened to close
the Follies on less provocation
in previous years and nothing
short of half equity in salt
mine will induce me to take
him at his word. This is not
to say he is deceptive in these
announcements. At the time he
utters them, / have no doubt,
he means them with all the
fervor of nun at her litanies.

She is coming to Keith's Theatel

needless to report that she will be

awful things to an otherwise
attractive figure, that she will
pin silly hats on top of her gor-
geous red hair screwed for comedy
purposes into topknot. that she
will give her shapely legs sing
lar bulk and curves by encasing
them in loudly colorful hose.
She will do these things because
they are done by leading London
music hall comics, such as Marie
Lloyd, Daphne Pollard. Nesta
Victoria, because they are the
trademarks of British comedy,
and further because they are all
potent and proven comic gestures
and most admirably suited to the

Male PeacOcks On
Increase, Thinks
Dorothy

Styles OF masculine and femi.
nine attire are revolving in a
a series of cycles back to the days
when mems clothing was more
ornate than women's.
So believes Dorothy Mackatll.
First National player, featured in
THE Crystal Cup" film now
playing at the Earle Theater.
Particularly does this apply to
sport and business wear, she
points out. Women's clothes are
becoming simpler almost to the
point of severity. Mems clothing
on the other hand, is rapidly get
ting away from plain, conservative
designs to more ornamental ones.
Mems sport-wear provides the
most striking example, she says.
Who would have believed, 10 years
ago, that men would ever take to
the baggy sport Knockers, re-
splendent sweaters and stockings
and fancy shoes that one sees not
only on the golf links and at the
beaches but on city streets as well.
Pleated trousers, double breasted
vests, coats of extreme cut, shirt
and ties of strange design and
color are indications of the rapid
change.
Miss Macka'll's role in THE
Crystal Cup" calls for her to wear
clothes of extremely masculine
cut. The ease with which the
change in style was made and the
comparatively minor variations
necessary impressed her forcibly
with the radical style departures
of the last few years.
One of the most striking cos.
tunes worn by Miss Mackaill in
'The Crystal Cup" is an evening
dress" patterned after a mans
dinner suit. Only a skirt Of black
material, matching the coat, was
used to give the costume a femi-
nine touch, in all other particulars
matching mems styles perfectly.

LenOre's Makeup
A Trick Thing to
Put On

Among the most popular stories
OF the theater is the one about an
actress being detained in some
sort of a tie-up and reaching the
fheater just in time to dash on the
stage as the proper cue is being
given, thereby saving the situation
and without the audience being
aware of the fact until it is
printed in the next days news
papers.
1t never has been the fate of
Lenore Uric to play parts that
would permit her, If necessary
to go on the stage at a minutes
notice, for practically all the
roles she has created under Mr..
Belasco's direction, and particu-
1arly her present characterize
ton of Lulu Belle, have demanded
a considerable period of prepare
ton before each performance:
Washington theatergoers will
be crowding the National to it's
capacity for Miss Ulrich's famous
portrayal of Lulu Belle. 1t is
Miss Ulric's custom to arrive at
the tneater one hour before the
curtain rises on Lulu Belle. 1t
takes that length of time for her
TO make up for the character of
the cabaret entertainer which she
plays in this Sheldon Macarthur
drama.
In studying Lula Belle she de-
voted considerable attention to
this phase of the role, with the
result that her makeup is re-
markable for it's fidelity. Few
young actresses have had such a
wide experience in the art Of
makeup as Miss Uric, for each
of the six roles she has created
under Mr.. Belasco's direction has
necessiated her Transforming her
self into a girl Of different
nationality.
When Miss Uric played in
s'The Heart of Wetona," she was
an Indian, and, in "Tiger Rose"
portrayed a. French Canadian
girl. In '"The .Daughter" she
was a Chinese maiden, and in
Kiki," a French gamin. In THE
Harem," she played as a Hun
garion wife who masquaraded as
q Turkish Princess, and now. as
Lula Belle. is giving the most
unusual of her portrayals. It may
be safely said there are few
secrets in this art unknown to

Charles Learned
A Lot Since
Then

The following interesting little
story about Charlie Chaplin is
told by Alfred Reeves, his present
general manager. who was also
manager of the company in which
Chaplin appeared before he en-
tered the pictures. Mr.. Reeves
has known Charlie since his fiji
teenth birthday.
while we played in New York,
Charlie conceived the idea of
utilizing his spare time away from
the theater in the making of NOV
ing picture comedies. He outlined
his idea to all the members of the
company-thinking then that all
he needed was a camera.
Charlie and myself. always the
best Of friends, agreed at the time
to put up 81 900 each for the pur-
chase Of camera. We thought
then that all we had to do was to
play as in our vaudeville act, in
the open air. and it would register
on the screen. The idea of scenes
in short lengths, long shots and
close-ups, and inserts being taken
separately and later assembled,
was never dreamed of by us. The
cutting of the film, in which
Charlie has no equal, was never
thought Of by him then.
I'VE entered into this agree
nent in all seriousness, bur be-
cause our work took us away
from New York, it was abandoned.
But Charlie always carried the
idea in his head. Since then we
have often wondered what the
outcome would have been had we
carried out the original agree
ment."
Perhaps such a gigantic comedy
as THE Circus" which is now
playing at Loew's Columbia for
the third week, would have come
