Or looks reproachfully at me
When early Sunday morn / rise
To meet ths foursome at the tee.
She hurries to the door to wave
Her hand; no tear bedews ner eye
The while she calls to me brave
'Bood by!"
No twinges OF remorse are mine
AS, following the pill I roam.
I know she does not sit and pine
Around a dull and lonely nome.
And if till late at night I sit
About the locker room by chance,
She will not meet me with a Bit

WASHING1ON-The senate lately
has been the butt of wisecrackS
from persons who have implied that
it was making itself ridiculous by
proposing so many Investigations. 1t
has been widely asserted that the
duties OF the upper house were to
legislate and not to investigate, and
that the senate was developing an
inQuiSitorial mania
Senator Thomas j. Walsh of Mon
tana undertook to answer this sort
of attack in defending his resolution
to investigate the electric light and
power industry. He said:
81 challenge any member of this
body to rise now and point to any
investigation which has been had by
the senate in the past and to say
in the light of subsequent disclosures
which such Investigations produced
that they should not have been had"
Nobody rose and Walsh went on
to mention the Oil, veterans bureau
and Slush funds Investigations.

 NORMA SHEARER AT PALACE TOMORROW

Norma Sheatrer, star of "Thc Waning Sex" the Metro-Gbldwyn' Mayer picture, directed by Robert z. Leonard, which comes to the Palace tomorrow, is undoubtedly the least conceited of movie stars whether male or female.
 E She says, and says sincerely that she is glad to avoid the re sponsibility of selecting her own stories, of prescribing whether they shallF have happy or sad endings, whether her leading man will be an obscure player or some Eone big enough that he might de- tract interest from her own per formance. e
 "If one studies the cases oi stars who have been given the selection of their own stories and their supporting casts it is plain that many pitfalls turk in such a procedure" says Miss Shearer.
 An artists capabilities must be judged impersonally. It is i'm possible for the artist to do this.
 "The Waning Sex" is a farcica comedy adapted from the Broad way stage success of the same name by Frederic and Fanny Hat ton. The supporting cast includes Conrad Nagel as leading man George K. Arthur, Mary McAlis ter and others.

FINE COMEDY NOW

Poker Faces," the feature which is now at the Palace thea tre is Harry Pollard's best pro duction.
 Not only Pollard but Laura La Plante and Edward Everett Hor. ton, who ;co-stars in the picture, admit it is the best picture they have ever played in-has more laughs and funny situations than anything they have heretofore done.
 If anybody ought to be able to give an unbiased opinion it is a cast that has played in dozens of c-eature comedies in the past few years. That they are right in their declaration is borne out by the crowd at the Palace last night. A fine supporting cast consists of George Siegmann, Tom Rick etts. Tom O'Brien, Dorothy Re vier and Leon Holmes.

THE RAINMAkER" AT
 COLISEUM TOMORROW

'The Rainmaker," Paramount's 5 mighty love-drama. is the feature scheduled for a Coliseum show ing tomorrow. The cast is one of the productions important as- sets, including as it does such screen -fayorftes as Ernest Tor renee, William Collier, Jr., and Georgia Hale, who had the fem mine lead opposite Charles Chap lin in "The Gold Rush"
 "The Rainmakers may be pic turesquely described as the story of jockey and dance hall girl, runners on Life's race track. against whom the opening odds are heavy. Each overcomes a bad start, runs fair and true for a while, then weakens and falls back into the ruck. Their final race is run in a little border town where the sky is the limit and anything can happen and does happen!
 William Collier, IT,, portrays the Jockey, whose usefulness as such comes to an abrupt end when he is severely injured in thrilling race. Georgia Hale is the ex-dance hall girl who nurses him back to life. The romance of these two works itself out in a little Southwest border town where they meet the race track hanger-on popularly known as "The Rainmaker" It Is con sidered sThe Miracle Man" of the season.
