WORD comes via the authoritative

sity's track team, that "the great Gar
boz is on her way here in her latest

Lest memory concerning this play
should be dim, it should be stated that
Romance" had the most sensational
run OF any play In the early decades
of this century. Doris Kane played in it
throughout the world as well-nigh i'm
mortal. That the lithesome Greta is
rapidly setting her PAGES for her posi-
ton amidst the luminaries of high
heaven is positively assured. Further
more, it is claimed that in Romance"
she does the most spectacular "emot-
ing" since she left the land of the
icicle and the buggy.

Jackie Coo9an's Successor.

SOMEWHERE in the United States Is
a small boy headed straight for fame
and fortune. He is the as yet undis-
covered youngster who will play the role
of skippy in Paramount's forthcoming
motion. picture of that name.
The organization recently launched
search for the boy who most closely re-
sembles Percy Crosby's famous cartoon
character. The producers believe q
greater illusion of reality will be
achieved If the role is played by boy
who is not known to film followers. and
they also maintain that greater natural
ness will result from boy who has had
no professional experience.
"Skippy" will be filmed at the Para
mount New York studio early in Sep

Motion picture authorities are of the
opinion that the boy who wins this
unique screen assignment may look for
ward to inheriting the juvenile Aim
throne vacated by Jackie Coogan.

Citizens Meeting Claim
Service Inadequate.

A committee of seven was appointed
by the Conduit Road Citizens Associa-
ton at its meeting last night to request
more adequate street car and bus serv-
ice for the community of the operating
companies.
Speakers pointed out that the Cabin
John cars are scheduled during rush
hours at alternating 10 and 20 minute
intervals, causing considerable incon-
venience through the inability of pa
irons to keep track of the arrivals.
Tt was further pointed out that no
through bus service is available, with
the result that patrons sometimes must
wait at the transfer point, Thirty
seventh street and Reservoir road, for
long periods. A 15-minute bus service
for the rush hours will be petitioned.
Assessment Practice Condemned.
A resolution adopted by the associa-
ton condemned in general the practice
of assessing nearby property owners for
the cost of improving streets and high
ways in the District, particularly when
the thoroughfareS are in use as much
for through trafic as for local traf1c.
Widening of Conduit road is contern-
plated in the near future, all the way
to the District Line, and the associa-
ton went on record as opposing an
assessment against property owners. in
view of the fact that the thoroughfare
is controlled by the Federal Government
and bears heavy traff1c to and from
