After being at Luna Park for
two years Mr.. Mercy bought a lit
tie moving picture theatre at
Georgetown, Seattle. In this place
Mr.. Mercy ran the moving picture
machines while Mrs. Mercy sold
tickets. In those days big show
consisted of a three-reel feature,
and couple fofsone-reel subjects
making a show that would last
probably 40 mintes. = - :.
In 1910 Mr.. Mercy entered the
amusement business in Eastern
Washington, with the purchase of
the Majestic Theatre at Yakima.
At that time there were nine little
theatres in Yakima. Or at least
the owners classed them as the
aires and 1 guess for that time,
= they were fairly good theatres.
Very shortly after buying the Ma
jestic, Mr.. Mercy remodeled and
increased the capacity of the the
atre to twice the size that it was
formerly. When this. was done he
had the second largest, straight
moving picture house in the state,
with the Clemmer theatre at Sc
attic as the largest. 1t was really |
his move that established Mr.. Mer- |
cy as one of the outstanding and
progressive showmen of the state. |
While he steadily improved his
theatres, the others in Yakima be-
gan to drop out until there were
just four theatres left. Mr.. Mer-
cy soon obtained control of all of
the theatres in Yakima. In 1919
he built the Liberty theatre which
remained standing for just one
year and was then torn down -
be replaced with the present Capt.
tol theatre. This theatre at the time I.

PLANS ARE RUSHED
FOR B|CENTENN|AL.
Automobiles Enlisted to Cir
cuIate Program in Honor
of First President.

Automobiles of every Senator and
Representative, all Government auto
mobiles and trucks and thousands of
other motor vehicles all over the coun-
try will carry this Summer a large
display announcement of the George
Washington Bicentennial, according to
plans just completed by Representa-
tive Sol Bloom of New York. Mr..
Bloom, with Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd,
is associate director of the series of
bicentennial celebrations which are to
center in Washington and to extend
all over the land during 10 months
in 1882, on the occasion of the 20Oth
anniversary of Washington's birth.
The announcement is in the form
Of handsomely painted tire cover,
bearing the inscription in large let
tiers, George Washington Bicentennial,
l732-1932," around the rim of the
George Washington painted in the
center.
Mr.. Bloom had the first of these tire
covers placed upon his own motor car
here today, and 1t attracted great at
tention as he drove through the streets
to the headquarters of the bi-centennial
commission in the Washington Building
ana tnence 10 the Capitol.
Governors Of the States will begin in
a series of radio addresses tonight to
arouse the interest of the citizens of
their States in the bi-centennial.
Through the efforts Of the national
headquarters here, % governors have
already consented to deliver addresses,
ana within a few days all, including
those of the territories are expected to
be on the schedule.
The series will begin tonight with
addresses by Gov. Frank. G. Allen of
Massachusetts,, Gov Frank C. Emerson
OF Wyoming, and possibly Gov. Myers
Y. Cooper of Ohio. The others will
speak during the next 80 days.
The National Park Association has
recommended to the Secretary of the
Interior that some great national land
mark be named for George Washington
on the occasion of the bicentennial. It
Is probable that some national park will
be chosen for this honor and will be
called the George Washington National
Park" No indication has yet been re-
ceived as to what park will be chosen.

MARY RANDOLPH'S ARLINGTON
TOMB is MARKED WITH TABLET
War Department Acts to Dispel Mystery
Which Formerly Shrouded Ivy-Covered
Brick-Walled Grave.

..Dispelling the mystery which once
shrouded the tomb in Arlington Gene
terry Of Mrs. Mary Randolph, the War
Department has erected on the ivy
covered brick wall incloSing the tomb
an informative bronze tablet, inscribed
with a brief biography of this re-
markable woman.
Data for the inscription were OBJ
tanned as a result of an article in The
Star some months ago by Enoch Aouila
Chase, calling attention to the uncer-
tainty surrounding the history of Mary
Randolph. The tablet points out that
Mrs. Randolph, the first person to be
buried at Arlington. was a direct de-
scendant of Pocahontas cousin of
Thomas Jefferson, of Fitzhugh Gusts
and Robert E. Lee and a sister -in-law
OF Gov. Thomas Mann Randolph OF
Virginia
The tablet also seeks to explain the
quaint epitaph, long subject of COM
ment, which follows:
sacred to the memory of Mrs. Mary
Randolph-Her intrinsic worth needs
no eulogium. The deceased was born
the 9th of August, 1862, at Amptbill
near Richmond, Virginia, and died the
23rd of January 1928 in Washington

The tablet points out that her
youngest son was Burwell Starke Ran
dolph, who fell from a mast while
midshipman and was crippled.
Her devoted care of that injured
son." the marker states, lis said to
have fastened her death. and would
seem to explain her epitaph."
AS a result of the publication of
Mr. Chase's article in The Star 1t was
established that Mrs. Randolph was
the author of THE Virginia Housewife
known as the Jefferson Cook Book, -
one of the priced relics of the White
House. Recently Mrs Hoover sent this
old book to the Library of Congress for
restoration.
