''EncOreS" Provide
Substantial Element
Of Entertainment
VVeTFOPOHTaH aH
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The speaking stage of this city
had neither regrets nor apologies
to offer during the week that has
Just closed. It set out with the
frank purpose of entertaining and
offered no suggestion of inStruc-
ton. No abstruSe social problems,
which the theater loves to discuss
but never solves, were intruded on
the attention; unless the Zieg-
field parade of former monarchS
may be interpreted as gesture
of scientific politics meaning long
live the Republic, or the ingenuity
displayed in crime solution be
regarded as an encouragement to
the police to stand firm in duty
in hope that the lawyers and
doctors will succeed in clearing
UP to a finality what has been so
conscientiouSly investigated.

A producer is shown running
true TO form and an author does
the same. Ziegfeld, whose name
is now sufficient to train a buy
ing line in orderly array from the
National Theater box Office
around the corner all the way to
r street. concentrates the public
mind on his presentation that
makes his engagement correspond
TO circus time. Ziegfeld gives
eight circuSeS a week, each OF
them enthusiastically attended by
a crowd Of spectators who ask for
no plot, but are content with
scenic Splendor, agile grace and
good honest clowning.
"Rosalie" is as good a name as
any for the production that
reached Washington in the course
of it's career with every item OF
curtaining and costume as smart
" fresh as If the show had been
newly prepared by the Squadrons
of designers and diSciplinarianS
whose names adorn the program
more obscurely than their merits
deserve. A Ziegfeld show since
that producer abandoned the
method of simple vaudeville
elaboration under the designation
of Revue" has often demon
strated how Slight plot can be
made to serve the purposes of a
highly ornate revelation. RoSalie
is a princess with a naughty
mother, a frivolous king father
and a sweetheart with a dashing
uniform Of a West Point cadet
The king obligingly removes all
distractions to his daughter
marriage outside the ranks OF
royalty by tossing away his
scepter and becoming an Ameri-
can citizen. All this he does SC
merrily that with the assistance
Of a large orchestra. the inde-
fatigible charm of Marilyn Miller
and the rollicking fun of Jack
Donahue it all seems perfectly
plausible and satisfactory. Ar
especially important factor is the
scenic architecture and land
scape gardening, which for the
hour remove all doubt as to the
existence of the kingdom called
Romanza or of a splendid West
Point, where the routine of drill
and study is quite overwhelmed
by the music and repartee. There
they are before your very eyes.

HAS
HEART

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-The
plaudits of admirers rang in the
ears of Jack Cowboy Willis, OF
Texas, today. while in boxing
circles could be heard the insistent
comment: 1.-THE cowboy has plenty
of heart. "
Heart, the supreme attribute of
a fighter, is the possession OF the
boy from the Lone Star State. it
took heart and great quantities of
it to stand erect beneath the wilt
ing assault Of Mickey Walker,
worlds champion middleweiglt, at
the State Armory here yesterday.
And Willis, despite the fact
that the titIehOlder won the
decision, never cracked in all Of
those 10 grueIIing rounds. The
title was not involved.
As q matter Of fact. there were
moments in that spectacular battle
when the heart Of the champion,
and not the heart Of the Texan,
was taxed to the limit.
For in the sixth and again in
the seventh Canto, the ''TOy Bull
dog" was indeed sorry sight.
Blood from gashes beneath each eye
trickled down his cheeks, his limbs
shook. His slick pompadour was
transformed into a mass OF wildly
disheveIed locks. He staggered
against the ropes and covered up
as best he could. He fell into
cumbersome clinches and chung on
for dear life. With telling effect
his younger opponent jabbed his
face with left pokes and followed
with long rights to the body.
But when he faced the New
Jersey Irishman again in the
eighth round, 1t soon became
apparent that Mickey is a cham.
pion In more than name.
For the remaining three rounds.
superior ring strategy and longer
experience came to the fore and
conquered the fire of youth. Feint-
ing, then leading with left and
following with a smashing right,
Walker had the Texan nearly out
on his feet at the end of the
eighth and won the ninth and
tenth by wide margins.
Though he fought determinedly
even in those last trying rounds,
Willis could not stem the cham
pion's terrific onrush. Walkers
battering ram blows in the might
ing showed their damaging effects
and won the verdict for him.

SURVEY SHOWS GIRLS
SAVE MORE THAN MEN
Their Bank Accounts are Larger
Despite Fact That They
Make Less.

Spokane. Wash, Aug. 24.-UP)
Its the man who pays and pays
and pays-and you can take the
word OF Spokane bankers for that.
An investigation into the credit OF
young men and women OF Spokane
brought out the fact that the aver
age working girl saves more than the
average young man who earns IS
per cent more money.
"A girl with a monthly salary of
SIS per month is able to save more
than the average boy whose month
ly income is $500" NJ. Nj. Mac
Leod. OF the Spokane's Credit Men S
rating bureau. said.
However. it doesn't seem fair"
explained Macleod. when in this
modern age the woman is placed on
an equal basis with man, and she
still expects man to do the provid-
ing while she received her salary
and puts 1t away for the future"
The investigation brought out the
fact that whereas many young men
are required to contribute to the
support Of the family, women usu-
ally are not expected to do more
than support themselves. Some of
them have a difficult time doing
that. but in the end, the report re-
vealed. the woman has the money
and the man Is still paying.
