 ! Cheney said he thought an amend ! mcnt introduced in the house cnd ! senate had very little chances Of sue cess unless it was sponsored by inc ways and means or finance commit tees He contended that frequently II was better 10 appear before the conference committee when 1t at 'cmpts 10 reconcile differences be- tween the two houses.

 Asked if he had obtained yyha f he desired from conference commit tees, Cheney replied:
 "Cer'ainly ] have obtained things from the conference committees"

Ulric's 5 New Play

night watching Lenore Uric and

shatter the legend that a Belasco
star is never the same without
the venerable David.
Since her last washington APP
pearance Miss Uric has had a sad
experience trying to conquer audi
,ences assembled for the Holly
wood type Of entertainment. She
played Talu in Frozen Justice
and Rosalie Dumay in South Sea
Rose" pictures made by Fox Both
features were film tripe and Miss
Uric was as eager to get for away
from Hollywood studios as the
screen baronS were to get a release
from her contract.
A play called Sandy Hooker
failed to jell and now she will ap.
pear in "A Pagan Lady" written
by william Dubois, directed by
John d. Williams and produced by
the firm of Gensler and Greene.
David Relasco is a great direc.
tor but his is not an exclusive tai
!. ent. There exists no logical argu
Iment why o great actress should
not thrive under a new banner
provided, of course, she has good

Much Of the stage version of

added. 1t is no wonder that it
has been said that producing
talking pictures of the Marx

D. c. ACTOR In
PAGAN LADY
COMPANY

A noted college athlete of a
few years ago. nephew Of ex-
Senator Weldon Hepburn from
idaho, and q former resident of
washington, Is Weldon Hepburn,
one of Lenore Ulric's two stalwart
leading men in Pagan Lady" a
drama by William Dubois COM
ing to the National Theater on
Monday, September %.
Mr.. Hepburn was. born In this
city, and his father, an Army
officer, for many years was sta
toned here. Young Hepburn at
tended the Central High School
and Emerson Institute before en-
rolling at the University of Ala
bama for a law course. At the
latter institution he was a three
letter man in sports. winning the
coveted A in football, basketball
and swimming. In addition he
was captain of the University of
Alabama swimming team.
Becoming involved one way or
another in college theatricals he
speedily abandoned the notion of
legal career and went on the
professional stage via q stock
company in Pittsburgh, Pa. Fol
lowing that engagement he played
more stock in Syracuse. N. Y.
and In Winnipeg, Canada.
His first New York appear.
ance was in a comedy known as
"Skidding." That piece was heav-
lily maligned by the critics but
endured for practically a year
on Broadway. Mr.. Hepburn next
served in "Troyka." a less sue
cessful venture, and then went
under q lcng-term contract to
Brady and Wiman, a well-known
producing firm. for an important
role in their Mrs. Cooks Tour"
That show failed to last long
enough to get TO New York and
so it was no difficult task FOR
Lewis Gensler and Morris Green,
producers of Pagan Lady" to
borrow" the young actor for
their enterprise.

the sother,, "El Relicario" in
Spanish.
The songs were sung by Val
entino a short time before his
death but we're never released
because of a belief they would
ninuer rather than help the
movie stars career.
AS Time tells the story, Wana-
makers advertised first and ex-

cording of the voice of Rudolph

hoo less than 1000 records we're

AY JOHN GOLDEN CHECKS IN WITH FIRST HIT OF NEW SEASON
ARLISS DROPS
MONOCE FOR
SPECS

The Arliss monocle has become
q tradition of stage and screen.
Even though the celebrated acto
discards it momentarily for a
part in a play or picture. 1t "a
still part Of the Arliss personality.
In "Old English" his latest
Vitaphone screen production now
at Warner Bros. Metropolitan.
Mr.. Arliss wears spectacles IN
place of the monocle but in moei
other parts in plays and pictures
he manages to make the eye
glass a part Of the characterize
tion.
Perhaps the most remarkable
thing about the ArlisS monocle Is
the fact that the owner actually
sees through 1t. It has been
worn so long that there are little
ridges worn into the flesh where
1t fits with comfort and security.
Mr.. ArlisS seldom breaks a glass
and 1t never falls out unless he
means to do it.
The Arliss monocle dates back
to his father. known facetiously
about London as the Duke Of
Bloomsbury because Of his flare
for fine clothes and his ever-pres.
ent monocle.
1t is probable that George Ar
liss adopted it first from sense
of showmanship but forty years
of constant use has made q
monocle a necessary piece Of
equipment which he keeps with
him constantly.

Out of it he will probably make
