After seeing a very mediocre cast,
I saw only the first act Wednesday
night in Cincinnati, I could easily
understand that Donahue would
want to be sick.
Iaknow that this is the first week
Of the new season for this show,
and ! realize that a substitute was
trying to clown and sweat through
Donahue's role ON four hours no
tice.
And yet it is shows put together
like this that is damaging the show
business on the road. Am told that
this company goes to some state fair,
probably Texas. 1t certainly will
have to have a lot done to it to make
it a New York show"

in favor of this newest Columbia

OFFICE WIFE"
OPENS AT APOLLO

Few men even realize when their
secretaries become their office wives.
Give an attractive and clever girl
six months as a business mans sec
rotary. and she has become his office
wife. Her efficiency, her advice, and
her sympathy have almost obliter-
ated the influence of the wife at
home. The fact that the tired en-
plover is unaware of the influence
his secretary has over him IS the
final proof of her hold on him.
That is the reason why so many
men have fallen in love with their
secretaries. The time comes when
they realize that they can not do
without them-that their little at
tentions can not be duplicated. II
is a dangerous subsequently, II
the wife does not know about II.
This problem is the basis OF the
Warner Brothers and Vitaphone
picture. 1.-THE Office Wife" which
opened at the Apollo today Tor a
limited engagement.
Dorothy Mackaill portrays the
efficient secretary, who is in love
it'll her employer. Lewis Stone IS
lie business man who does not
NOV that his secretary is in love
With him. The cast also includes
Natalie Moorehead, Brooks Bene-
dict. Walter Merrill, Dale Fuller and
Hobart Bosworth. Lloyd Bacon di-

"The Office Wife" was adapted to
the screen from the novel OF the
same name by Faith Baldwin.
The usual short subjects compris-
ing Vitaphone Varieties, Screen Cd

included on the program.

TINE review of the quarters les
Il sons is suggested in the form
of an estimate of the characters
studied during the period 1t is as
character studies that these lessons
have been significant, though they
have had to do with character not
only in its inner aspect, but with
its outward expression in the great
tasks which the characters that we
have been studying accomplished.
First we have Abraham, the great
pioneer, manifeSting virtues that
have not always been characteristic
of the pioneer. The pioneer with
all his courage and endurance and
determination has often been a
fighting man, grasping, and eager
in his ambition. But Abraham with
all the virtues of the pioneer had a
largeness of spirit and magnanim-
ity that had made him very truly
the father Of the faithful.
The Greatness of Jacob
Jacob comes before us as a man
deprived of the foremost place, who
was bound to achieve it and to get
it by hook or crook. AS a matter of
fact, he used both hook and crook,
and his life appears in many re-
spects as unlovely. But he had in
him, with all his trickery, elements
upon which something could really
be built, and in this respect he diff
fered from his more likable brother,
ESau. The essence Of the lesson
concerning Jacob was that even a
character like Jacob could be trans
formed and could have brought into
his life some real holiness and in
tegrity Of purpose.
Moses stands before US as a
commanding figure. great in his
moral strength, courageous in his
leadership. one Of the worlds great

injustice and wrong, but an up
builder of the foundations of a true
society in law and Righteousness.

Samuel Goldwyn's uncanny abil-
ity to select unknowns and see them
turn into world-famous stars has
long been the wonder of Hollywood
In his long career in pictures he has
been responsible for the rise to
fame of such luminaries as Ronald
Colman. Wilma Banky, Lily Damita
Belle Bennett. Joan Bennett, and
has brought to the screen the stage
talents of famous ladies such as
Evelyn Laye and Gilda Grey.
During his vacations in Europe
and in the east he never ceases his
search for faces and personalities
which will enrich his pictures. Most
of his discoveries have been acci
dental. but the result of his never
sleeping vigilance and ability to see
possibilities in unknown people.
Florenz Ziegfeld's record on the
stage is scarcely less spotted with
triumphs of selection During the
productions of his famous series of
"Follies" and other musical shows
of which the stage version OF
"Whoopee" was a lavish sample, he
has given a start to a long list Of
stage and screen notables. Will

URGED FOR PUPILS.
Thousands of District School
Children Pictured as Need
ing Public Assistance.

Citing figures tending to show that
large PERCENTAGE of Washington school
children are undernourished and that
thousands are required either to walk
from one to four miles" to get to
school or pay double carfare, or 40
cents daily" John j. Noonan, cham
pion of free transportation for school
children. has written the Child Health
and Protective Conference urging that
proper care of pupils should be the
compulsory responsibility of the author
tiles who make school attendance
compulsory.
Mr.. Noonan, in his letter addressed
to H. E. Barnard, director of the con-
ference, traced bad conditions which
he said prevailed among Washington
school children.
Picture these anaemic children" he
wrote, "undernourished, poorly clad, un-
dershod, sapping their small store OF
vitality and energy, trudging such dis
tances through all the inclemencies OF
the weather.
"The proper care Of school children
should be compulsory on authorities
who make school attendance compul-
sorry. Milk and thick soups and free
car fare Gas in rural schoolS) should
also be compulsory for these unfortu-
mates"
Continuing, Mr.. Noonan expressed
the hope that the present conference
may reach conclusions or suggest
methods looking to the solution OF these
problems" He paid tribute to our
far-seeing President for the opportunity
offered by this conference OF disclosing
to the country the regrettable condi-
tions prevailing"

Girls Feel Tempo Of Age.
Therefore, so frequently this restless.
ness of women is merely due to energy
that must have an outlet.
As to the restleSSness Of young girls

Despite the complexities which face
the young women of the day, Miss
Woolley does not feel that the idea of
ultimate marriage Is enter tanned any
less now than it was In the generations
gone by.
Il think every girl who comes to col
lege today has definite desire to take
up some work when she finishes col

All this is demonstrated clearly in
the new De sylvia Brown Henderson
picture, and lot more. The result,
on the whole, Is disappointing. The
story starts on gayly, hits a snag In
the form Of q saccharine love story,
jumps up again with some side
steps by FL Brendel, gets daller and
foolisher as it progresses, and, but
for nilariously funny ending, might
find its audience in tears.
The real sickness sets in with the
trip to Mars The possibilities here
were enormous. The producers had
only to go back to Jules Verne to
find something a little out of the

to have Mars as near Hollywood as
possibie-with a deadening result.

CAPITAL TRACTION
EARNINGS CLIMB
II Per Cent Gain Over 0ctob-
er, 1929, and SO Over Sep
tember, 1890, Reported.

The financial report Of the Capital
Traction Co. for october indicates that
the company has turned the corner
financially and Is starting back 10
normal as the combined result of rigid
economy and the 10-cent fare. The
report fled with the Public Utilities
Commission today shows a net income
Of $58,638, an increase of II per cent
over the net for October, 1929, which
was $49,ssl, and an increase Of s3
per cent over the net for September,
1880, which was $30,259 Some increase
in earnings is normally expected in Oc-
tober as compared with September, as
the street car riding habit usually in
creases during the Winter months and
falls of in the Summer, but the
enormous increase was entirely unex-
pected.
The companys better position flnan-
cially Is recorded in the face of con-
ttnued decline In revenue passengers
carried. Last month the company fer
ried 4,333,501 passengers. In October,
1929, the number carried was 4,927 ,095.
Thus, in spite Of the decrease of about
IL per cent in the pay passengers car
rled, the company was able to register
an increase of II per cent In net earn
ings. The reason is found not alone in
the 10-cent fare charged this year, in
comparison with the Scent fare
charged last year, but also in the fact
That the company managed to lop OF
more than $4,000 of it's operating ex-
penses. This was partly due to reduced
schedules and partly to other econo-
mics. Last month, the operating ex-
penseS were $256,780. In October, 1929,
they were 1858, 256. At the same time,
the Decent fare increased the operating
revenue from 1910, 108 to $374.646.
The net income for September was
$50, 1859. or trtfie more than half for
the net of October.
October and September of this year
both showed improvements in net in
come over the same months in 1929. but
the improvements were not sufficient to
stem the tide of decrease that had per-
sisted in the earlier parts of the year,
SO that the company's net earnings for
the first 10 months of 1880 are still
$67,753 below the net for the same
months in 1929.

Enlargement of the scope of work

While the stations are now receiving
the services of a doctor two, three or
four times q week. DR.. Davis THINKS
there is sufficient need to have the serv-

twice a day. And in addition he taxes
the position that the doctors OF TINS

"per diem" schedule, on which tney
now receive compensation, to the regu-
lar classified service, where they can
be rated on their professional standing,
as other physicians in the Federal serV-
