Her Own, Original Self.

THE original Aunt Jemima, one Of the
first stage celebrities engaged by
Florenz Ziegfeld for his "Show Boat, "
has an interesting record.
Aunt Jemima impersonates Queenie,
ample-fgured and jocular Southern
nanny, in SHOW Boat" who is every
body's friend. She presides over the
culinary department Of the floating pal
ace theater that in the ninetieS lei
surely pulled up and down the treacher-
Gus Mississippi and its tributaries, leav-
ing bubbles of tears and laughter in its
wake.
1t may be interesting to know that
Aunt Jemima, alias Queenie, is Tess
Gardella and an italian, even though
born in Wilkes Barre, Pa. She started
singing in st. Andrews and st. James
churches in lower New York. Sever
years ago in the Keith houses Aunt
Jemima, as she is known to millions
sprang into instant popularity as ar
exponent of negro songs.
1t is curious fact that until she was
a favorite with her specialties from
coast to coast she had never been south
of what was once known as the Mason
and Dixon line.

BR1roNs IN SHAKESPEARE.

Monday night, March 3, the famous
Stratford- upon-Avon Festival Company,
from the Shakespeare Memorial Thea
ter in the town of the master drama
lists birth and death, will make its first
appearance in Washington at the Ma
tional Theater, beginning a weeks en-
gagement in Shakespearean repertory.
The arrangement of the plays to be

Much Ado About Nothing; Tuesday

day matinee. Julius Caesar; Wednes-
Windsor; Thursday evening, Hamlet" :;
Friday evening, Twelfth Night; Sat-
urday matinee, "a Midsummer Night S
Dream" and Saturday evening, Mac
beth"
The Stratford-upon-Avon Festival
Company is unique among theatrical or
CARNATIONS, inaSmuch as it is not, pri-
marily, operated for monetary profit,
but is a part Of the fine enterprise of
perpetuating the name and fame of
William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-
Avon. Every Spring for the past half
century the Shakespeare Festival has
been held at Stratford upon Avon, and
performances Of practically all of the
plays have been given in the Memorial
Theater. The company now comes for
the second time to this side on a six
month tour of Canada and the United
States. 1t will return there in time to
open on Shakespeare's birthday, April
%. 1880.
All of the profits of the North Amer
lean tour will go to the fund for re-
building the new Memorial Theater to
replace the fine original building, which
was destroyed by fire three years ago.
The foundation stone of the new edifice
was laid with impressive ceremonies
last July.
All the productions in the present
repertory have been made under the
personal direction of w. Bridges Adams,
for 10 years the director at Stratford.

extravaganZaS of the stage of other

Says Owen Davis.

"WRITERs for the movies" says
w owen Davis, prolific writer of
plays, should realize that story for
the screen should be interesting, not
philosophical A great need of both
pictures and plays is simplicity. There
is too much tendency today to write
out ones philosophy without wondering
whether it makes interesting entertain
ment.
1T find writing for the movies is
much easier than the stage. I quarrel
with talking pictures because it is neces-
sary to establish ones characters with
out benefit of introduction and to write
a complete story in 1900 words which
would be written in $4,000 for the stage.
STILL it seems to me that screen
writing is an easier occupation than
writing for the stage"

Emil Jannings and Takes.

Lmll Jann1ngS ana alkleS.
THERE is news from England that
should cheer the white-blooded IN
dams of Hollywood. Emil Jannings,
the German cinema actor who came
over to this country to do THE Way of
All Flesh" and other lachrymose pic
lures. and who promptly fled to foreign
shores with the advent of the talkies is
now merrily working away at an Eng
lish studio.
The name of the picture he is max
ing is THE Blue Angel" In it he not
only proves his aptitude for the old act
ing bug" but he shows that it didn't
take him long to learn the English
language With mis- advent thus begun
in the talkies, it shouldn't take long for
the long arm of Hollywood to reach
over into Jolly England and bring the
gentleman back to these gilded shores.

Recent tests conducted by police and traffic officials in Pittsburgh, Pa. a city noted for it's steep hills, Studebakers offer decided safety ad- vantages, according to MT. Albro, local Studebaker dealer.
 James M. Clark, director of pub lie safety in Pittsburgh, pronounced flee wheeling as one of the great ever known. C'ark's test drive took him over some of Pittsburgh s steepest hills and through the city's most congested traffic districts. The fact that a driver can change to second gear on a down grade with out delay at any speed, and without touching the clutch. appealed to Clark as exceedingly valuable for motoring safety
 Motoring officials in other sec tons of the United States and Can- ada who have tested free wheeling under positive gear control, have been equally as enthusiastic.
 Free wheeling makes it possible for the first time 10 get the full benefit of the momentum of a car automatically.

 Gee. you're Fairbanks ain't youo" The youth gasped. I'm sorry to do this, but l need the money. Where's Mary?'
 Fairbanks explained she was up stairs and asked them not to fright CT her The actor went upstairs, followed by the youth and two con- federates who kept in the back ground and secured Sl00. The trio escaped in an automobile after Fair banks gave them the money.
 The man who on the screen has thrilled millions by his daring eX- ploits and escapes from whole rooms full Of bandits, pirates and the like, said the youngster who confronted him didn't really look like much of bandit"
 It was a good line" that he used in real life instead Of the kind of daring associated with his screen work, Fairbanks said. Assuring the bandits he would give them all the money he had and asking them kindly not 10 loot the house and frighten Miss Pickford, Fairbanks succeeded in saving his jeWelry.
 They followed the actor 10 an up stairs room, where he procured the cash and handed 1t over to them. | Still apologizing, they then left the house and escaped in an automobile.

 AS for President Hoover, every body knows that when the people asked him for bread he gave them proClamations." Perhaps they would have done better if they had pre- tended they were Belgians.
 This is a silk stocking district, am told. but there is plenty of rayon still in it. After all, it's only one block from the hopeless crowds mill ing around the employment agencies on Sixth avenue to the big houses and hotels of Fifth.
 By now voters ought 10 know that the only difference between a republican and democrat IS that one is in office and the others want 10 be.

 Many to Be seen
 "It can always be rruthfully stat ed .' said Dr. Olivier. that if a per son will observe from a favorable locality and with a fine sky. on any night rom August 10 l3 inclusive, one will see numbers Of meteors, The maximum IS either Aug. Il or Aug, Y according to unprcdictable conditions and circumstances. On the best night. with moon absent, from 50 10 15Q meteors per hour may be counted. if the sky Is perfect Tn" lease haze or nearness 10 a city cuts down the numbers tremendous- ly as the faint meteors are most numerous.
 'Thc average amateur can aid by hourly counts Of all moteors seen. But good locality should be chosen. We hope 10 have simultaneous work ar several stations near here by per- sons already trained. This will in clude careful plotting Of brighter meteors and later the calculations Of thei rhoichts. Photography will also probably be tried
 Best Annual shower
 The perseids give the best an- nual shower and come at a time Of year when the nights are pleasant. They are therefore the best stream for the casual observer 70 watch for. Also in August many other minor streams are in activity"
 Observers should look northeast low in the horizon early in the eve ming, and fairly high up at midnight. More metcors are likely after than before midnight
