at corraling Mr.. Van for one OF
the regular luncheon meetings that
are .graced by some stage nOtables
or others in the public eye. A first
class comedian would surely have
some button bursting bon llots
for the gentlemen of the press.
Mr.. Van came and talked. He dis
cussed soap and the latest Broad
way wise crack was left for some
less facile post-prandial enter
tainer. He followed his sales talk
up by securing a membership list
of the club and each scribe on the

Vans soap. Incidentally IT was
good soap although / never was
able to discover where it was on
sale in Washington.
Now Mr.. Van will quit the
grease paint and sloppy pantaloons
and devote his entire time to d
homely commercial pursuit. He
is, by the way, a wealthy actor.
At Georges Mills, n H., he owns
vast estates end there his soap
factory is located. Once there was
a movement in Congress to change
the name of Georges Mills to
Van Harbor In honor of it's most
prominent and prosperous squire.
Unless l am mistaken the bill is
still resting in the musty archives
of Capitol Hill.
There is something almost ghoul-
ish about the news from New
York that the so-called auction of
Eddie Foy's effects was in effect,
a fake, and that most of the chat
tells parcelled to the highest bid
ders had never been inside the
late comedians home.
II must reveal this to square my
self with my friends" Eddie's
widow Is quoted as saying. The
publicity given the sale caused
them to believe that / lacked SEN

band. That wasn't So"
And then she discloses that OF
GAL articles sold, only Il bookcase,
a set of books and two chairs had
seen service in the New Rochelle
home of the Foys. The name of
the actor was used to further the
sale of miscellaneous collection
of household goods, and those VINO
purchased for purely sentimental
reasons were "come-on" victims.
The whole transaction is prob
ably one of those things that Is
strictly legal and yet a stronger
word than contempt applies for
those who. would use such methods
in a mad hunt for profit.

BRUNETTE

Lima Basquette. who plays op.

Picture THE Moose, at tho
Metropolitan Theater, is profes-
sionally known as one of the
most striking brunette beauties
on the screen.
According to John Francis Dill

Willard Mack, there is one, type
of woman whose whole appear

classification OF beauty, just as
among blondes.
Miss Basquette IS generally

of the distinctive brunette type

observes. In other words, she
is not the sort of woman who
might have been a blonde il she
had not had black hair. She is
wildly brunette"

The medal in 1925 was awarded

to Edith Wyne Matthison. Hamp-

his glorious virtues. Mention of
it at this time is appropriate. for

Pages have been written in eu-

which Mr.. Hampden has visualized

which he has invested each pro-

GIRL OF TO-DAY
FOR TU NATE,
SAYS NANCY

Glow much more fortunate are
the women of today in the matter
of clothes than were their grand
mothers"
This is the way Nancy Carroll,
leading woman in Richard Dix's
latest comedy picture, Easy
Come, Easy Co." now playing at
Loew's Palace. views the modern
clothes problem.
''The extreme simplicity of the
frocks of today enables every girl
TO have pretty and stylish clothes
without large outlay of money.
Today a girl can be smartly
dressed in a simple little one-piece
frock containing not more than
three or four yards Of material.
Our grandmothers' contained not
less than twenty yards of ma
terial, and had to be deliberately
trimmed. This all meant big
outlay of money and an immense
amount of time spent in in sew
ing. Hours We're required for the
fittings.
TN addition to the dresses there
were petticoats, pantalets, and
hoops to be fitted. All this meant
that a girl of slender means in
1880 could not afford, at most,
more than one pretty frock.
To-day every girl can dress
well and inexpensively. The one
piece and ensemble suits are
simple and cheap. or they can
be made at home with very little
effort.
This has been felt hat year,
and this also has .simplified the
dress problem. Felt hats are be-
ing worn with every kind of dress.

friends as master of ceremonies

At the business session preceding
the afternoon 5 entertainment, Mrs
A. b. Hanson, who was one of the
delegates to the last southern dis
trict board meeting at San Clemen-
tc, reported something of the situa-
tion regarding the proposed legisla
tion for the reapportionment of rep
rcsentation in the state federation
which will come up at the state CON
vcntion in San Diego May s-l2. Al
though the new plan of representa-
tion which will be submitted for
consideration would actually benefit
the Southern District federation,
still the district does not favor the
plan for the reason that it will re-
move the balance of power from the
small clubs throughout the state to
the Los Angeles district. 1t is fe!t
by the leaders of the Southern dis.
trict that the small clubs need more
contact with the federation instead
of less, more representative instead
of fewer.

of the finance squad reported S70.S0
