FRIDAY OPENINGS IN
WASHINGTON THEATERS
HELEN KANE AT THE EARLE.

HELEN KANE AT THE EARLE.
THE Earle Theater opened its new
week yesterday, and the efforts Of
Helen Kane, in a series of her well
known baby-talk songs, with all the
hoop hoop -doops," delighted ca
sing just as one might expect her to
and she is at her best-but she also
reveals a modest, almost shy person.
atty, which suits her naive talents to
perfection. Her ability as an enter
tainer is thus transferred from the
screen to the stage, with the stage the
considerable winner. Miss Kane was
enthusiastically received by an au-
dience which clammored for more
and which got all it deserved, the star
very wisely stopping where most stars
would not have stopped.
Hello, Sister," the film that follows,
is one of those light, fairly amusing
trifles that centers around the terms
Of will. In this case, the large for
tune Is left to a young girl on the con-
dition that she stay away from all al
coholic beverages, late parties and Gig
arettes for a period of six months. This
naturally changes the life of the young
heroine, who up to that time had been
making WIlOOp6e uuIu the BElHlmeSt
hours of the morning. She, however,
makes the necessary changes-riseS at
eight, attends church regularly, teaches
a Sunday school and finally organizes a
church bazaar, in which the stage en-
tertainment turns out to be great hit
and the horse race rather an unex-
pected feature for a church feSttvity.
However, all the situations being a
trifie unusual, including the will, there
was no real cause for misrepresentation
nor worry that the young lady would
not get all the money coming to her.
Olive Borden acts well enough and
often looks better than that-especially
in the Floradora take-off. Lloyd
Hughes plays the lover with his usual
calm gentlemanliness. and George
Fawcett, at the beginning of the pic
ture, does the best of them all.
The remainder of the program is
taken up with the Universal Newspaper
Newsreel, an animated cartoon COM
edy and the orchestra playing Rudy
Vallee's song hit, 1.-The Stein Song"
Judging from yesterdays attendance
the new Friday opening policy is dis
tinctly successful. E. de S. M.

GRAHAM McNAMEE AND "HONEY.

GRAHAM McNAMEE AND "HONEY."
A PICTURE in which the actors take
IA themselves far from seriously and
which, consequently, gives no end of
amusement to the audience is to be
seen this week at the Warmers Metro
politan under the title Honey"
This film, which has been garnered
from the play Come Out OF the
Kitchen" in which Ruth Chatterton,
back in 1920, reaped considerable re-
nown, is an ingenious bit of tom-foolery
which has, by some miraculous good
fortune, escaped the drooling sentiment
tally that causes the downfall of so
many Hollywood products. The result
Is extremely pleasing.
With unprecedented astuteness the
producers have realized that the mate
rial at hand is neither of epic quality
nor of dramatic fiber-and so, quite
evidently, they have gone in, not only
for comedy, but for something more
than that. They allow the actors to
make fun of themselves and they allow
"Hallelujah" sequence of Hit the
Deck" which manages, in spite of it
self. to be very effective-due to the
fact that the tune that goes with 1t,
Drop Everything" is one of those
things that should revolve through the
music halls for months to come.
The story of the young girl and boy
who lease the parental home to a
rich and ambitious society matron and
assume the role of cook and butler in
the recognized household is told, often
hilarious.
Nancy Carroll, looking prettier than
ever-which is considerable-k an ideal
for the title Honey" Skeets Gal
lagher is a natural and most effective
"butler" and Lillian Roth justifies the
recent publicity which labels her as
the new it girl" Furthermore, there
is a young actress who is irritating to
the point of perfection in the 1--WE got
secret" role of the eight-year-old girl.
The remainder of the program is
devoted to a Vitaphone subject Of Ann
Pennington doing her familiar dance
steps.
And The Evening Star Universal
Newsreel, with Graham McNamee IAN
nouncing," that isn't half long enough.
Mr.. McNamee's pertinent remarks about
| current events is worth the price of adj
mission alone-all of which may be
proved by visiting another theater where
they have the same news reel without
Mr.. McNamee announcing. The SUBJ
jects are we'll chosen and suit the IA
nous sportwriter's sense OF humor to
perfection. E. de S. M.

GREAT CATHERINE" A HIT.

THE Columbia Players presented
Bernard Shaw's satirical comedy
Great Catherine" last night at the
Central High School Auditorium.
Under the direction of Miss Aurora
Poston, who assumed the title role as
well, this amusing biz OF Shavian
sarcasm was turned into an almost
letter-perfect professional production.
Not an easy play, in any sense Of the
word, for an amateur presentation, this
splendid group of players, who pre-
viously in the season won the Wash

Paris, July 10.-While some of the less fragile pastel shades are considered correct for town wear this summer. it is remarkable how much navy blue is seen on smart women at afternoon functions. The new yeiloWs, greens and lighter blues are all charming. but it is difficult 10 equal the smartness of a navy blue ensemb ble With black, 1t remains the really chic choice this season and every woman who has chosen navy blue is sure to en- joy her decision.
 Navy blue and it's variety of in termediary shades are still featur- cd extensively in the latest mid- season collections. for informal wear as well as for the afternoon and evening. Some of the cou- turiers have shown delightful navy blue taffeta evening gowns that are charming and so smart besides offering q novelty in the color line. Deep blue lace, without being quite so dark as navy. is featured by Chanel and there are a number of midnight blues to be seen in tulle, mousseline and georgette.
 Light navy crepe de chine or marocain fashion lovely afternoon clothes, as for instance a long cap cd wrap created by Louiseboulang- CT trimmed with beige fox or again a taffeta ensemble by Jean Patou. composed of a thrce-quarter length jacket and dress, with touches of lace Gt the collar and cuffs as well as on the large picture hat Of the same fabric.
 White and pinI, are usually combined with all the dark shades Of blue very successfully, especial ly Patou's rose opaline." In the printed designs, irregular polka dots in white, pink and even green on a dark blue ground are seen, as we'll as every variety of blue and white checks.
 The accessories of a matching blue are de rigueur" blue opera pumps piped in white or gray, or low plain blue tie shoes that are smarter than any complicated style.
 Navy blue straws of every pos sible origin and trimmed with soft white kid-a model worn by Flor ence Wdlton-are a pleasing change from the ubiquitous black straw and are very becoming too. Marcelle Lely shows a light navy bakou shape with floppy white tulle brim stitched with blue silk exactly matching the straw which strikes a very novel note.

BarEerS and Surgeons

bGTlt'fS dill SuTScO1lS
 Barber poles are red and white, picturesque witnesses to an age gone by in which razor and scalpel were wielded by one and the same hand.
 Surgery, which today is so im- portant a branch of the science ot medicine has q variesated his- tory. It ranked high among the ancients, but fell into disrepute ir the middle ages.
 Physic, as the practice of medi- cine was Known. remained in the hands of physicians, but surgery vas abandoned to mountebanks anl barbers.
 One can perhaps account for this in the fact that neither anesthesia TOT asepsis in the modern sense were known to the ancient physi- cans.
 Complete anesthesia which en- ables the surgeon to operate pain lessly, was unknown previous 70 the nineteenth century.
 Asepsis, that is freedom from the danger of iniection, could not be achieved before mankind had q working knowledge of germs an their disease producing powers.
 The germ theory was postulatod and demonstrated by Pasteur in the second half of the last century.
 Yet, surgery was not without its great men even in the barber days, and without doubt. tho greatest among these was Ambrose Pare. Ot him it has been well said that he did much to elevate the suT- geons profession from a despis@1 handicraft to a position equal 10 that of other branches of the heal ing art"
 Pare lived in the sixteenth cen tury, he was of !owly origin, and by the standards of his days, was an uneducated man. knowing neith- CT Latin nor Greek.

 There's some sort Of road at the back there. I walked through t one day from the hotel and went back when I got to the hill without disturbing the people at the farm. Drive down to the main road, Otto, like the devil and we'll wait at the spot where that road comes out on the main one.

The Girl Called Bill
By Alice Judson Peale

DN hl4tc JQISOH ltdIt
 The girl whose father insists on calling her rom" or Bill" is bovn under an unlucky star. Her father wished for q son and is trying 10 make his daughter play the part.
 Thect is still q popular prejudice in favor Of boy children.
 Fathers who have no son not m frequently try to make q son out ot q perfectly good little daughter.
 Such a father plays boys games with his girl and consciously or un- consciously does everything in his power to emphasize the boyish characteristics Of her temperament.
 A girl so treated can hardly escape growing up to be dissatisfied with her femininity.
 She tries without perhaps being at all aware of il to play q mas3l- Inc role in life
 She is thus doomed 10 the con- flicts and uAHappncss which come from being out of tune with ones own nature and from desiring the uHattainable.
 She senses hat her parents were disappointed and is bound to suffer in consequence from feelings of in feriority which carry their compli- cations into her adult relationships Her response to men will be un- necessarily complicated with envy and resentment, She will make an effort 10 be something that she IS ret and never can be.
 It is not fair for any father 10 pro ject upon his daughter his wish fo" Q son.
 1T he cannot adjust himself 10 the fact that his child is a girl instead Of boy it would be better for him to adopt a boy than 10 set his little daughter at odds with her own natural strivilgs and ideals.

Peter Rabbit sat on the bank Of the Smiling Pool and Jerry Muskrat sat on the end of log a little below him. Jerry had just seen . stranger approaching At first he had taken him 10 be LongleSs the Heron. Peter had thought it was Longlegs, too. The stranger few like Longlegs. His head was drawn back between his shoulders; his long legs were held straight out behind him. and his great wings were beating in slow, steady strokes; all of which was very like Longlegs the Great Blue Heron. But in one other respect he was wholly different"
 Hes all white" exclaimed Peter. Any way, he looks all white. Per haps it's the way the light strikes lim"
 Jerry ,rgslrat shook his head. 'No,' aaid he, "tt i9nt the light. That fellow is all white, I hope he'll stop here"
 AS f he had heard Jerrys hope. the stranger swung once around the Smiling Pool. then dropped his long legs and alighted on the edge Of the bulrushes at the upper end of the smiling Pool Peter and Jerry sim ply stared. They were most impolite about it. They were most rude. But they were to be excused for rever had either seen any one al all like this stranger. To begin with, this stranger was not quite so big as Longlegs the Great Blue Heron. but in shape he was the same, There was no doubt at all in the mind of either Jerry Or Peter that this was q member of the Heron family. He was all white-beautiful snowy white-sava his legs and feet which were black. and his bill, which waa yellow. Being white, he looked larger than he really was. In fact, al first Jerry and Peter hadn't real ized that he wasn't as large as Long legs.
 When they got a good look at his back, Peter gave a little gasp. "Oh .'' he exclaimed. Just look at those feathers on his back, Did you ever see anything lovelier, Jerry Musk rat? Did you?"
 Jerry shook his head. T never did" said he. All my life I have lived here at the Smiling Pool or down along the B;g River. I've seen several Of the Heron cousins-Long- legs the Great Blue Heron. Quawl, the Night Heron, Poke the Little Green Heron and Pumper the Bit tern, but never any one like this fellow. Never have I seen any feathers like those on this ones back.
 They were lovely. They were what are known as plumes. They were not like ordinary feathers. They were what are called loose webbed. It made them appear very delicate and dainty and there were very many of these feathers. It is no wonder that Peter and Jerry gazed in round eyed wonder at this beautiful bird.
 For some little time this beautiful stranger stood straight and still, his long white neck stretched to it's full length. He stood just as Jerry and PeteS had seen Longlegs the Heron

stand many times. He was mak- ing sure that all was safe. Neither Peter nor Jerry moved. They sat as still as the stranger stood.
 At last the stranger drew in his neck and took two or three ratha. stately steps. Then that long dagcer-like bill was shot down like flash and a second later Peter and Jerry saw frog start headfirst down that long throat. Gradually the stranger moved toward Peter and Jerry. Peter was, you know. upon the bank, while Jerry was down be low on the end Of an old log. Both of them were so full Of curiosity that they could hardly wait for the stranger 10 get near enough for them to speak to him.
