Walter Johnson is getting to
be very good indeed on his feet.
Which is, by way Of saying
that the Washington mana
ger and erstwhile two-decade
pitcher, has mastered the art
of talking before audiences.
From a stuttering, uneasy, fid-
getty figure with much maidenly
modesty, johnson has developed
into a real smooth talker. when
called on for remarks at this
public function or that, and
instead of feeling sorry for him
on these occasions as once was
the case, his intimates now set
tie back in their chairs pre-
pared to hear a smooth, sound
talk uttered with senatorial sang

to be derived from well regu-

happened to be addressing.
An unusual condition indeed
prevailed at Pimlico for the get

much fng lowering over the
track that chart-makers were
unable to clock the horses in
their wild circle of the track.
These chart-makers, normally

Miss Pola Negri is known to millions of cinema watchers for her supremacy in that range of parts which America conveniently catalogues as "vamp" She has than once expressed her weariness of a fate that dooms her always to play the temptress, but at least she cannot now complain that years of arduous study of the art of fascination have failed of their reward. For Miss Negri is to turn from mere journey man to work at vamping to portray the greatest yamp in history That MT. Shaw, who has long resisted the most seductive offers of the film world should surrender to her appeal is not the least part of her triumph. He is, we gather, so convinced that she will make ideal Cleopatra that he proposes to give her his personal help in casting and filming his play Caesars da- liance with Egypt. It promises to be a highly interesting collaboration. For Caesar and Cleo patra" certainly lends itself more readily than most of MT. Shaws plays to those spectacular scenic effects in which the stage must yield place to the film. We have but to remember it's first production, with the curtain rising on Miss Ger the moonlight and watching with kittenish cur iosity the bad-headed gentleman who paced the desert below with the worlds fate in his hands, to admit so much. We can readily imagine that the film will yield a wealth of palaces and temples, galleys and dahabiyas, eunuchs and centurions and massed ranks of c6urtiers, slaves, and soldiery. But how much of the drollery, the penetrating dialogue the acdly fresh view lof conventional History that distinguish the play can it conceivably convey? Knowing the dis astrous changes that the masterpieces of drama and literature have suffered by violent adapta- ton to the silent stage, should have ex- pected MT. Shaw to remain austere and to urge the kinema to seek it's distinctive aesthetic ends in work designed from the outset for it's tech nique and limits. That he should have chosen otherwise is challenge of which shall await

Major Chester P.

He said that we would have gone much further toward Pro hbtion in the years that have elapsed since the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted with out the Amendment than we have gone with it. The country was gradually drying itself up, he said before we had the Prohibition Amend- ment and the attempts it's enforcement. We are he continued, further from it now than we were then.

More Or Less True

The difference between a wife and a grass widow is that the wife is supposed to cook for, pick up after and wait on the man to earn what he doles out to her.
 If a woman swears she would not marry for money it is proof she hasn't found out from experi- ence how much those who marry for love have to go without
 When they are out in company you can tell by the expression of his wife's face while her husband is talking how much listening he is going to have to do when he gets home.
 Many husband doesn't do any complaining around home because he has a horror of going to the hospital in an ambulance.
 It is bad enough for the girls to giggle to get boyish bobs, but the worst won't have happened until boys get a girlish giggle.
 Probably the only woman who envies the wife of hard boiled man is the wife of soft headed one.
 Of all sad words that a woman can have said about her probably the saddest are "She would have made some man a mighty fine wife"
 Men are not so dumb falling for the dumb Doras-they would be anything but wise marrying brains that would be mismated with them.
 What some little gold digger now calls a sugar daddy was prob. ably some poor womans affliction for a good many years.
 Nothing makes a wife madder than for her husband to go around with grouch, unless it is having him smile when she is bawling him out.
