money by operating a ticket-selling agency which handles nothing but pasteboards for social benefits. The sponsor turns over the bulk of the tickets to him. He in turn calls ln a number of women who have ac- cess to telephones. The entire telephone directory of the District of Columbia is divided between them. Call after call is made by these women until their portion of the directory is exhausted.
 Another favorite method is to mail tickets to prominent people with a note that if the tickets are not used they should be returned in an enclosed stamped envelope. Unless they are returned-and mo-e than likely they are not-payment is demanded.
 To avoid unpleasantness the vic tim usually pays.

sNO CONTROL" GOOD
 COMEDY AT PALACE

When the big game hunter in Africa laughingly remarked to his black jungle guide, the spring of the lion is much more dangerous than the spring of clock" he had no thought of Harrison Ford, who is co~featured with Phyllis Havre in "No Control new Metropolitan picture coming to the Palace for the last two times tonight. and who heartily agrees with every word the hunter said.
 In this new production Ford has several exciting scenes with burly lion. He frankly admits that he prefers his animals in a zoo with a cage between, but in the picture he is very much inside the cage With the King of all beasts
 In one of the scenes in radio broadcasting station, he has to get in and wrestle with Numa. And he does not use double.
 "No Control" was adapted by Zelda Sears and Fay Garnett from a humorous story by Frank Con don, By Remote Control Scott Sidney directed. Tom Wilson, J Duffy, Toby Claude, E. J. Ratclffe and Larry Steers have the other important parts.

THE SINGING FOOL"
 IS NOW AT COLISEUM

"The Singing Fool" Al Jolson's second motion talkie picture, opened at the Coliseum last night to large audiences.
 Jolson, in his own inimitable way portrays the piercing joys and sor- rows of the humble waiter-raising him to heights of beauty-and thrill ling audiences as the unique king of jazz has always done-but never quite to the degree which his role in "The Singing Fool' makes pos sible. Davey Lee, the child who plays the part of the hero's little son. was chosen by the star him. self from among almost two hun dred applicants. The scenes be- tween the father and son are tre- mendously moving-more so than any the present reviewer has wit messed on stage or screen.
 \ 'The Singing Fool provides him with story of universal appeal. First seen as waiter in a New York cafe, in love with a beauti- full entertainer, he later becomes owner of pretentious night club and husband of the same faithless lady, who sasts him into the depths of despair by deserting him and their little boy. for a stranger.
 For the sake of the child he goes on, urged and aided by the pretty cigarette girl he had known in his less successful days. Then canes a call from his divorced wife-news that Sonny Boy is dangerously ill.
 But no more of the thrilling story need be told. Suffice it to say that Jolson has never been quite so Jolsonian, never quite so tremendously appealing. The sup port is especially adequate, the pho tography is beautiful and Lloyd Bacon has done a masterly piece of directing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Not since the Gam affair has Wash ington tea table gossip been so lively as now
 For the capitals haute monde has been a victim of fast one-in fact one of the fastest ones that has been pulled in quite a while. No one seems to know the victims. All know that there were victims. An each suspects the other.
 Here are the details:
 Into Washington recently there came man with supposedly un- questioned integrity. He made his home at one of the exclusive hotels where social leaders are wont to gather
 Little by little he gained the con- fidence of all And then he sprung his idea.
 What Washington needed, he said, was a social register that con- tained only the names of those who had right to social recognition. There was no such publication now in existence.
 True, there was a book that pur- ported to list those in the capital who could rightfully claim social rank, but it didn't amount to much. Anyone who cared to pay S5 or $l0, and could get the endorsement of I another whose name was already in, would have no difficulty in get ting in himself.
 Only $50 The newcomers Blue Book would contain the name of no one whose social standing could be questioned. And the cost-only $50 name.
 The idea met a generous response Checks came in from some of the most important people in the social and official life of the capital. Ano then the author was jailed sudden ly, charged with fraud. In vain did the authorities seek i for witnesses. No one was willing to admit that he had purchased social recognition" at the price ol $50.
 Finally one woman was founc who was willing to testify against the accused. She barred the whole scheme.
 But as far as is known her name is the only one to be made public
