BOOZE ENTERS
STATE RACES


WASHINGTON. Sept. il-P1-
New ferment was poured into the
cauldron OF prohibition debate by
the results Of primaries in ten
states during the past three days.
Although a number OF wet Of
flee seekers met defeat some dry
champions were overthrow and a
few candidates opposed by the
prohibition forces were victorious.
The INTERPOLATION cause re-
ceived support yesterday also from
Governor Roosevelt OF New York.
who after a two-year silence on
the question. placed himself on
record as favoring repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment with sub
stitution Of a statute granting each
state control Of intoxicants.
II few instances did the political
wet or dry victories furnish I'm
clouded evidence OF popular senti-
ment. however, as even IN races
where prohibition became the para
mount issue other influences en-
tered.
VETS Win in Michigan
Prominent among the dry losers
was representative Grant NJ. Hud-
o Of Michigan. a former anti
saloon league official, In whose con-
test the prohibition issue was OUT
standing. Representative Louis e.

however, and Horr is republican
county chairman. In the state Of
Washington also, drys can point to
the victories Of two dry incumbents
over wet opposition. and the re-
turn unopposed OF two more drys.
All this in the face OF wet planks
in the state platforms OF both
parties.
Dry victories occurred in republic
can ranks In New Hampshire and
Vermont. 5ut in most cases the wet
opponents were third men in the
races. The democrats OF the two
states will wave the wet flag In
the November elections, making a
bid for normally lacking popular
support for their party.
Dry-Wet Wins
CoIorado's republican senatorial
primary Yielded a victory for the
only candidate not endorsed t. the
Anti Saloon league. George n.
Shaw. He did not campaign as a
wet, however.
In Michigan a prominent dry,
Chase s. Osborn was, unable TO
S his anti-saloon league support
effectively TO overthrow Sc tor
James Couzens. The latter favors
law observance but Is not in SYM
pathy with prohibition. The issue
was not a leading one in the race.
Maryland candidates for the Nov
ember elections promise 10 have
much TO say on the question. but
this Is not unusual In that state.
In Arizona. Louisiana. Georgia
and South Carolina the prohibition
issue was not significant. Names

Jimmy Lake Stars.

MANAGER JIMMY LAKE of the
Gayety Theater will star himself
IN his own burleSque show, which he
calls THE Big Revue" at the Gayety
this week, thus Illuminating his theater
in a dual capacity; for although he will
return to the boards as performer
and he is said to have q highly cred
liable record in that line-he will do
so without relinquishing the managerial
reinS of the theater. This, it is believed,
will be of much interest to the large
clientele Of the Gayety, which is now
Washington's lone temple of burleSque.
Manager Lake has been closely iden-
titled with the movement of the Mutual
burlesque circuit, under President Herk,
to modernize burlesque while yet pre-
serving to that type of entertainment
the characteristics, without the faults,
that made it widely popular in days
gone by. He Is thoroughly familiar as
well with the duties of the burlesQue
entertainer, and as such should be q
competent judge Of those who seek to
fill that role, no matter in which of the
branches of burlesque the desire may
run.
He has fitted out and equipped show
designed to meet the demand of the
times in spectacle, funmaking, singing
and dancing in all of its phases. And
he himself says THE Big Revue" will
make the burlesque fan forget his trials
and tribulations and enable him to revel
in the land of make-believes, where
everything Is lovely as the goose hangs
high"

Joyce BARBOUR, who plays the title
y role in the musical play, "Jonica, u
which opens tonight at the National
Theater, has the distinction of having
created the fiapper chorus girl vogue
in London. Miss Barbour is one of
our English cousins who came over
with an English play in 1924 and has
since visited us internationally.
The fashion in London at one time
was the more mature chorus girl. At
the age of IA Miss Barbour gave an
addition at the Gaiety Theater which
resulted in her engagement. She rose
from the ranks to become one Of the
most popular musical comedy artists
in London.
In 1924 she was offered the oppor-
tunity to come to America in the
dramatic play Havoc" which also
brought several other fine actors to
this country, among them Richard
Bird, Leo c. Carroll and Ralph Forbes.
Incidentally, it is the only dramatic
part she has played, for, in spite of the
fact that she was extremely well re-
ceived in it, she feels that her forte is
musical comedy, which gives her wider
latitude for the display of her talents
as a singer and dancer.
While here she was drafted to re-
place Gertrude Lawrence in Charlot's
Revue, when Miss Lawrence suddenly
became Ill. This was no mean assign
ment, but Miss Barbour came through
with colors flying. She remained here
ior Two years and then went back 10
england to appear in two plays, and

It is no easy matter to hold a
place in a picture where a vet
eran like Mr.. Downing asserts
himself with such calm security
1t is argued that an actor must
feel the emotions of the roles he
plays with great intensity. Yet
it is the actor who knows so well
what he is about to do that he
diSmiSSes any agitation of mind
on his own account, and some
times conveys the impression of
greatest emotion when in reality
he is mentally most serene. 1t
used to be said that after thrill
ing an audience with his mag
netic presentation of a great role.
Edwin Booth would sometimes
amuSe himself by a def touch on
the banjo, which was then con-
sidered the most frivolous of in
StrumentS.
It is the very young actor who
finds himself with new work In
hand which calls for powerful
presentation who is likely to feel
the part too much and set for
himself a temperamental task
which it is beyond the physical
nature of humanity to perform
completely.
While a rather long list of
dramatists have succeeded in
making their work worthy of high
rank in classical repertory, it
has been recognized as absolutely
necessary to avoid any hint i'm
plying a denial of the supreme di-
vinity Of the master poet Of the
English language. Such a literary
atheism found swift retribution
at the hands of the gallery gods.
A melancholy fate awaited a
Stanch American poet whose
name is graciously omitted from
the anecdote by all biographerS.
The manager was so deeply i'm
pressed by the merits Of the man
uscript that he hailed the author
as the American Shakespeare"
The author walled and protested.
He had the intended compliment
suppressed as far as possible, but
the shafts of ridicule Immediately
released were so many and so
swift that he could never over
take them.
The fear that successes would
be but few in New York City has
been diSpelled. But the successes
are cherished with so much en-
thuSiaSm that the old practice Of
arranging to send them on the
road early in their careers has
been abandoned. Any one in the
Middle or Far West desiring to
organize theater party to see
them can telegraph for seats and
charter an airplane.
This city has not been greatly
favored with try-out productions
of history-making value. Loyal
audiences are entitled to look for
ward with sense of confidence
to the presentation of "Jonica,"
which is announced under diStin-
guiShed auspices as a New muSi-
cal comedy. The word New" as
applied to a musical comedy. is
not always reliably significant.
To some overtested ears they all
sound very nearly alike. Yet
when there is reaIlv a New mel
odv show the public is joyously
thrilled. The hone is confidently
entertained that "Jonica." with its
gorgeous ballet, will bark back to
the days of the "Show Boat" and
prove a Real One.

TIME rare and priceless virtue OF
simplicity Is aStonishingly evil
dent in John McCormack's first
u film, Song o. My Heart" and
is responsible for the consid-
cradle and deserved applause that has
greeted this unpretentious production;
OF course, Mr.. McCormackS singing
also contributes somewhat to the pic
lures success; but doubt very much
that 1t would have sounded so well In a
more elaborate setting (such as that
provided for Lawrence Tibbett in "The
Rogue Song" or for Dennis King, In
1.-THE Vagabond King.")
It was Mr. Mccormack himself, who
realized this, and who steadfaStly re-
fused to involve himself in anything
remotely resembling an extravagant
sent to be converted, by the phony al
chemy of Hollywood, into romantic
lover. He rejected every standard plot
that was submitted to him, with the
result that Song o. My Heart" is prac-
tically plotless, and therefore simple
and thoroughly charming
Its merit increases as one considers
what it might so easily have been:
There was every temptation to use all
the properties that have surrounded
Irish tenors in the past; the old mother,
the tumble-down shack with the pig in
it, the unspeakably villainous landlord,
the gay broth-of-a-boy with q hat with
a buckle on 1t. the impish colleen with
her fists on her hips and her elbows
thrust forward, the horse race in which
the colleen dresses up as q jockey and
rides the Irish mare to victory over
the English horse. and such strange
words and phrases as "begorra," "bejab-
berS, "bedad" and bad cess to ye."
It must be admitted that Song o. My
Heart" does make use of pair of conf
cal Irishmen who bear a perceptible re-
semblance to the Pat and Mike of ira
.dition. However, 1t so happens that
these two happen to be really comical,

Arliss in Green Goddess. =

" NHE Green Goddess" from the
thrilling play by William Archer,
and featuring George Arliss in his char
acterization of the Raiah of Rukh, will
be the next attraction at Warner Bros.
Metropolitan Theater, beginning Friday.
Those who saw, heard and admired
Arliss in his matchless performance of
the title role in "Disraeli" will be de-
lighted with his assumption of the
suave, sinister personality of the willy
rajah in this latest Warner Bros. and
