MUCH has been said and more
written, perhaps, about the high
prices of the modern theater, and two
schools have waged wordy wars as to
whether the better policy is to charge
much and rely upon smaller and, per-
haps, more exclusive audiences, or to
appeal to the general public for large
audiences at say half the money.
Manager Steve Cochran of ahe Ma
tional Theater. guided by the sage adj
vice of his more experienced principal
William Hartman Rapley. has felt
strong desire to put the pudding to the
test.
1t was with this idea in mind that he
brought to Washington but recently
wooden Kimono," a play of mystery
and thrills, type always popular with
mixed audiences, with its Broadway
charges cut squarely in two, so that
seat prices ranged from $3.50 for the
best, downwards to almost the level en-
joyed by the gallery god of the days
gone by.
This experiment, Mr.. Cochran states,

THE term beautiful but dumb" can
no longer be applied to ladies OF
the ensemble, as tradition characteriZes
them, at least not to those in the Savoy
musical comedy company at the Bel
asco. The authority for this exonera-
ton is Charles Emerson Cook, producer
of the plays at the Belasco, and,
furthermore, he gives names and Incl
dents to substantiate his assertion.
1.-THE astute musical stock manager"
says Mr.. Cook, considers more than
mere youth and beauty in selecting
his chorus. These two qualities, coupled
with the ability to sing and dance are
of course, the first essentials. But
equally important is the fact that each
applicant for the chorus must have
talent for the stage. Each member of
our chorus must have clear enunciation
and be able to read lines with intelli-
gence. In addition, each boy and girl
must have some special accomplish
ment which can be used in speciality
numbers. Six of our girls are expert
toe-dancers, two of the boys are ac-
complished ukelele players, and all of
the boys and girls excel in the various
types Of dancing, from tap to buck
and-Wing"

Twice-Sold Tales.

THE unusual case of an author who
sold his same book twice to the
same motion picture company is repre-
sented by Washington writer, Edwin
Bateman Morris, an architect, now in
the office of the supervising architect
of the Treasury Department.
The book is The Narrow Street,
first sold to the Warner Brothers Cor
poration and screened in 1924. The
work has now been repurchased for
synchronized action and Speech-record.
ing. 1t is understood that none of the
old picture can be used, but that an
entirely new continuity will have to be
made under the new talking picture
process.
The Philadelphia publishers of Mr.
Morris book say that this is the first
time that a story sold for picture has
been resold for a "talkie," an inter-
esting development in the talking
picture field.

"The saving on standard quality

$4,000 Greyhound
Race On June 80
AtAgua Caliente

Aqua Caliente, Baia California,
Mexico, June ia $4,000 race,
the Aqua Caliente Sweepstake,
will be the feature of the meeting
of the Kennel Club which opens
here June thirtieth, and incident
ally be the worlds richest grey
hound race, if the plans are success
sful which Judge Frank Davis is
now working out in conjunction
with some of the biggest Kennel
owners including Wirtt G. Bowman,
Earl Chaffee, James N. Crofton,
Eddie Baker, Baron Long and
others.
If these plans develop, which
seems likely now, Aqua Caliente
will have the distinction of stag
ing the worlds richest thorough
bred classic, golf tournament and
greyhound race. Up TO the pres
ent the biggest money events in
dogdom racing circles are in the
Derby, run at Chicago, the Water
loo Cup, at Dodge City and the
English greyhound Derby, which
has a value of 1000 pounds,-ap-
proximately $1,000.
The conditions of the Aqua Cal
iente Sweepstake will call for each
owner to pay an entrance fee Of
$1,000, and the Kennel Club to
add similar amount. Judge Davis
will set the closing of nominations
for date early during the COM
ing meeting and the nominees
will be "owners" instead of grey
hounds, each owner to have the
privilege of naming the dog that
will represent his stable ten days
before the date set for the run
ming of the race. Judge Davis has
not yet decided as to the date for
the race, in the event that his
plans are consumated, but it will
undoubtedly be run after the Der
by, possibly on the closing day of
the regular meeting which is Ad-
mission Day, September ninth, or
maybe on one of the special Sum
day cards after that. l
Judge Davis states that he al
ready has the assurance Of five
owners who are ready to come in
to the Sweepstake. The race will
probably be over a distance of one
half mile, for all ages, and it is
needless to state that each owner
will name the best dog in his string
irrespective of age.
