 WET-DRY POLL,
 FOURTH REPORT
Literary Digest Poll Passes 100000 Vets
 Are Still Leading

Including ballots from 40 States and the District of Columbia, the fourth report of the Literary Digest Prohibition poll on Prohibition, was released Saturday showing a total vote of 2,000,340, the largest ever recorded at this stage of any Liter ary Digest poll" said the magazine.
 The canvass shows for Enforce ment, 553,337; for Modification, 598,252; for Repeal 848,751. "A lit- tie figuring with the rule-of three" comments the publication, will show that the bone-drys have gained trifle more than a point in ratio value since last week, while modification has gone down almost point, and repeal has lost a fraction of point"
 Is Not Material
 Continuing, it said: But the variation, it must be confessed, is nothing to write home about. The vets throughout the land will prob ably continue to claim a sweeping victory by counting the modifica- ton vote in with the repeal vote and calling the total wet
 "On the other hand, the re- sourceful drys have began to claim the modification vote as part of their bag and baggage, and, by adding it to the enforcement vote, they argue that Prohibition is com- ing out on top of the poll. The point they make is that both the enforcementists and modification ists are in favor of retaining the Prohibition Amendment and should therefore becounted together in the Prohibition column"

 The Southern States are heard from for the first time in last weeks report. Twenty are entirely new entries in the percentage col umn of the poll. Dixie's frs alignment is in the wet-moist com bination. Only one voted for en- forcement, Tennessee giving a ma jority for it. Two-Louisiana and Virginia-gave majorities for re- peal.

 Yk' ON HER OWN
by RICHARD STARR

most of them were as pleased as punch to be in it, except those who were there with the wrong hus- bands"
 T thought" continued Jacque- line, that I had done something horribly wrong in coming to the place. You see I had never been to a night club before, and had always heard them spoken of as rather wicked places. That's why wanted to go.
 Well, I stood there for some time in the darkness and the noise seemed to grow worse. Then I suddenly realized that was stand ing alone The people who had been round about me had moved away, and I saw window near me. I pushed the window up and crawled out. I found myself on narrow ledge, and I pushed the window down behind me. That is Ill can tell you. You know the
 est. I crawled along that ledge, nd once looked down. It was 1uite dreadful. I turned quite ick and thought I was going to 'aint, but I didn't. I came to that ron staircase and found some win 'ows and pushed them open. Then
 found you That is everything
 expected Mrs Porter Mason to ome back to the hotel last night, ut she has not returned yet"
 What about the man?" asked Teddy.
 "Oh, am not worried about him because I don't know anything bout him. He is a Mir Arthur Ca ew, an American. I met him 'esterday for the first time. He vas in the club when the raid oc- urred, at least I think so, but he l vas not with me and Mrs. Mason l It the moment"
 There seemed nothing they could 1 10 about it. and they parted again omewhat reluctantly, in the Ma estic lobby, where people "sit" lbout.
 Jacqueline was almost in a state If panic, because she felt that ev- rybody would recognize in her the woman whose d escyiption was broadcast by the newspapers.
 As she made her way to the clerks desk she regained some of her courage. After all it was not for people to look at her. She inquired and found that Mrs. Porter Mason had not returned.
 She went to her private sitting room and saw on the table, where 3he had thrown it, the previous 1 night when she came in, Mrs. Por- ,er Mason's fan. Ii
 Rather curious and old-fashion- : d fan, and real triumph of the | ian makers art. That was no , ioubt why Mrs. Mason carried it. She picked 1t up idly.
 Attached to the fan was little silk bag. just large enough to con- ain a powder-puff and handker- thief.
 Hardly realizing what she was ioing, she proceeded to empty the title silk bag If she had stopped o think she would not have done It t. There was handkerchief, a ly .love, a powder-box and one of the ( anne little round boxes which she t lsed herself. At the bottom of the { ,ag there was something which felt { ike string of beads. She drew ' t out. It was a necklace of diamonds. Copyright, 1880, Richard Starr)

VAUDEVILLE IS
ABANDONED
AS NAME
Nv ANDREW r. KELLEY

In the mail which has just
arrived at this desk is an an
nouncement from Samuel Gold
wyn that Eddie Cantor has re.
tired from the stage and. win
make pictures for him for the
next five years.
On his way west to make the
film, of ''Whoopee," the saucer
eyed Eddie stopped at every way
station to send word to Broad
way he had retired from the
stage.
Consequently when the news
comes from the Warner Brothers
press department that Eddie
Cantor will play the Earle Thea
ter. the week beginning August /,
1t gets me guessing. Can it be
that Mr.. Cantor and Producer
Goldwyn consider the Earle Thea
ter a night club or a motion pic
ture studio, or a shooting gallery?
Bill Ewing verifies the booking,
adding that Comedian Cantor
will play four shows a day and
five on Saturday. Without men,
tioning figures, the salary for
these Washington performances
is said to be enough to pay an.
other installment on his $500 900
life insurance policy, with plenty
left over to buy good second
mortgage.

With the thermometer trying

More than fifty amusement de-

Down in the cave-like Old Mill It's
COO. as a cucumber, and high in
the air playing tag with the
breezes on board the Airplane
Swings, the big Coaster Dips, the
Derby Racer, and the Ferris Wheel
there's no time to think of any
thing except the good time you
are having.
Throughout the park there are
many shady dells, protected from

Vaudeville Passes

The departed Benjamin F.
Keith and later e. F. Albee put
the word vaudeville" on the
amusement map. Now the sue.
cessors to the organization which
they founded have officially an
1lounced that vaudeville" as a
word describing the brand OF en-
tertainmel1t they are selling is
passe. Henceforth the stage pro-
grams presented on the R-K-O
stages will be known as R-K-O
Varieties.
This seems to be the final
admission that two-a-day vaude-
vile is as dead as a 1890 Christ
mas tree. Only the Palace Theater
on Broadway survives as a re-
minder of the old order and that
citadel of the once thriving
vaudeville now plays three shows
on Sunday and is wired for
sound pictures. 1t gets So top
for it's entertainment on week
days and So on Sundays SO that
it has become more of a rival
for /. the legitimate theater than
the movies.
Will two-a-day vaudeville ever
come back? Not until there is
a revolution in show business. /
think there Is still real national
audience for two-a-day vaudeville
and that at some future date
not now in sight-a clever show
man with ample capital will
create a circuit of theaters
purveying the same type of en-
tertainment which now appears
out of date.

Gets Big Money

What it all means is that Ed
die Cantor has signed with Gold
wyn to make at least one picture
a year for the next five years.
In between times the millionaire
comic is privileged to hlre nlm-
self out to the highest bidder
and the Earle offer happened TO
be the best bid for the first
week in August.
The last time that Eddie Can
tor appeared here in person was
Thanksgiving week, 1928, when
Ziegfeld opened his production
of "Whoopee." Then the top
price, vas $3.50 a seat. Eddie
Cantor, knocked down from $3.50
to SO cents top, sounds like an
amusement bargain. He may
break the. Earle box-office record
although he will find stiff oppo-
sition.
