"THE CRIMSON HOUR"
AT THE MOORE THEATRE

The golden era Of the stage seems to
have returned again to the Moore
Theatre where crowds are thronging
the doors to see Pauline Frederick In
person. Her first starring vehicle,
THE Scarlet Woman" proved to be
SO vastly popular that the standing
room only" sign was hung out over
the door of the theatre several per-
formances last week.
This week Miss Frederick has an
even more popular play, and one that
shows her famous emotional power to
the utmost capacity. 1.-The Crimson
Hour is a melodrarna. in which Miss
Frederick appears as the attorney for
the defense in one Of the most sem,
sational and gripping murder trial
scenes ever depicted upon the stage.
Mary Bancroft, played by Miss Fred
erick, is called upon to defend young
girl accused OF killing her own father.
The case appears hopeless even for
the brilliant woman criminal lawyer,
until the most dramatic evidence Is
brought in during the final scene,
which changes the whole situation and
leaves the audience stunned with sur
prise,
So very popular has Pauline Fred
erick proven to be in Seattle, the
management of the Moore has been
able to prevail upon her to extend her
engagement to two more weeks. For
her third offering she will do "The
Command to Love- comedy, SO
sophisticated and daring comedy that
1t startled even blase New York and
Chicago audiences. This is Con-
tinental comedy of love and intrigue
in Spanish diplomatic circles in
Madrid A young French military at
tache, the wife of the French AM
bassador and the wife Of Spanish War
Minister, get involved in a most
hilarious intrigue. 1.-THE Command to
Love" with Mary Nash in the leading
role was one Of the most successful
comedies Of the last New York sea-
son, and Miss Frederick's beauty will
have Its proper setting in the gorge
Gus sets and costumes.

.Orthopedic Auxiliary
Express Appreciation

So brilliant was the success scored
by the New Years Eve dinner-dance
and cabaret given for the benefit of
the Seattle Orthopedic Hospital that
the vashon Island Auxiliary is being
strongly urged to make the entertain
ment an annual New Years Eve event.
Exactly $50 attended. Originally the
auxiliary had figured on 200 guests,
but as soon as our Islanders had
grasped the big idea-an evening of
colorful festivity and light-hearted
fun, all for the benefit of noble
charity-there was a rush for reserva-.
lions. The auxiliary found It neces-
sary to expand Its plans to provide
for $50. But the rush continued and
the plans were expanded again, this
time to provide for 800. Then came
an eleventh hour influx of applica-
lions for tickets, and the plans again
were enlarged to provide for $50. There
the auxiliary had to call a halt. The
time was too short for any further
expansion of the plans, and number
of the eleventh hour applications had
to be denied.
Sentiment in favor of making the
party an annual event has grown to
the point where 1t is taking on the
aspects of public demand That in
itself gives an idea of the party's
wonderful success. 1t was a great big
family party, old and young, grand
parents, parents and sons and daugh-
tiers. all joining to make it golden
evening. The exemplary behavior and
bearing of the young people won the
admiration and commentator of the
guests from the cities.
The members of the auxiliary ex-
press deep appreciation of the CO.
operation of the large number of
non-members who labored long and
earnestly to make the evening gala
one in Vashon Island history, and
also of the effective publicity given to
the party by the vashon Island News
Record which placed no limit on the
space taken by the various news an
nouncements.
Gratitude also is expressed by the
auxiliary to the school board for It's
courtesy and support; to England g.

pany, Bacchus Lumber Company and

new BALL SEEMS
TO AID PITCHERS
IN OLDER LEAGUE
BY LEO IL. PETERSEN
limited Press Staff CorreSnondent


NEW YORK. May 7. U.P)-Na-
tional League pitchers, displaying
mid-season form, apparently have
gained the upper hand over the
batsmen in their circuit this season,
continued yesterday as the 10 pitch
ers who appeared in three games
played, one of which went l3 in
nings, allowed only 10 runs and 43
hits. Only one OF the hits was a
home run.
American League hurlers con-
tinued to experience difficulty, how
ever. Fifteen hurlers saw service in
the three contests and were mauled
for 43 runs and 76 hits, including
seven hOmers.
Babe Phelps and Bill Walker
hooked up in an old-fashioned
pitchers duel as the Brooklyn Ro-
bins shut out the New York Giants.
to O. Phelps allowed but four
hits until he was removed in the
seventh inning for a pinch hitter,
Ernest lombard, whose long fly
scored Rube BresSler with the only
tally of the game. Walker allowed
the Robins but four hits during his
seven innings of work.
Sherdel star southpaw of the
Boston Braves, allowed the Phila-
delphia Phillies but four hits al
though beaten, to l. A home run
by Arlett. costly Pacific Coast league
rookie, with a mate on base in the
seventh inning caused Sherdel's
downfall. Phil Collins held the
Braves to seven scattered hits.
Burleigh Grimes, although he had
to be relieved by Jim Lindsey, con-
tinued his brilliant mound work as
the st. Louis Cardinals defeated the
Pittsburgh Pirates in a 13-inning
game, to 5. Gelbert's triple fol-
lowed by Marin's single gave the
Cardinals the winning tally. Grimes
was relieved in the 18th. The Pi-
rates had the bases full and two out
when Lindsey forced Comorsky to
ground out.
Big Parades
The usual pitching parades fea-
tured the American League contests.
Six hurlers saw service as the New
York Yankees made it two out of
three from the Washington Sena-
tors. 10 to I. Each team got two
home runs. One of them was Babe
Ruth's fourth of the season and
came with a mate on base. The
Yankees bombarded Fischer, Mar
berry and Brown for Il hits, while
the Senators got one less off John
son, Weinert and Sherid.
Boston's Red SoX used three pitch
ers in their 10 TO 3 defeat at the
hands of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Al Simmons got five of the l8 hits
turned in by Philadelphia off Rus
sell, Lisenbee and Kline, Eddie Rom
nell, Knnuckle ball star, held Bos-
ton to II scattered blows.
Chicago fell back to its booting
tactics to toss another ball game
away, this one to Detroit, 8 to 4. Two
errors in the field kept the SoX
pitchers - Caraway, Braxton and
Moore-in the hole. Bridges and
Herring held Chicago to nine hits.
The other American League con-
test scheduled, between Cleveland
and st. Louis. was postponed be-
cause of cold weather Rain caused
the postponement of the Cincinnati
Chicago National League game.

MRS. REVOLVING SOW NO. us
BADLY STUNGIN LIBERTY DASH

thrifty bee hates to have his house
tumbled down around his ears. A
whole hive of Woodworking, ener-
getic and thrifty bees swells the
hate to q point where retaliation is
necessary or the bee family would
lose its self-respect
And no bee has ever yet lost his
or her self-respect. 1t is an old
family tradition. and these particu-
lar bees carried the banners of the
family proudly and serene in the
knowledge that theirs was a just
cause.
Mrs. Revolving Sow No. quick
ly found out that it doesn't pay to
monkey around bees or to hog
around them either. They descend
ed upon her as the locuSts descend
ed upon Egypt, but a stinger makes
q bee entirely different from a To-
Gust and far more deadly. John j.
Bee and all the other bees set to
work son Mrs. Revolving Sok No. ?
and what they did to her was worse
than what Dewey. did to the Span
iards at Manila.
Swinish sQueals Of pain. surprise,
chagxin. anger and a few more
things rent the air and brought Joe
Wilson to the rescue of Mrs. Revolv-
ing Sow No. ,. It was not a diff
cult matter to recapture her. In
fact. she almost begged to be re-
captured. The pen that had seemed
a prison now loomed to her like the
choicest of Home Sweet Homes ~
Seeing they were to be deprived OF
venting their fun wrath on the des
poilsr of the family honor, the bees
shifted their attack to the Wilson
anatomy. The shift and the attack
were entirely successful from the
lee standpoint and a painful Gala
nifty from the Wilson viewpoint.
Meals served OF the mantle taste
delicious to Mr.. Wilson. Meals
served while seated in a chair just
do not exist so far as Mr.. Wilson is
concerned.
Back in her pen Mrs. Revolving
Sow No. . ponders on the strange
ways of life. A girl just can't be
happy penned up all day long, and
she certainly can't be happy with
a bunch of bees flocking around
bent upon her destruction. OF the
two evils, the pen is the lesser and
she is apparently resigned to her
fate and her pen.
And another thing-there are ru-
mors of an approaching event in
Mrs. Revolving Sow's life. 1t is
safe bet that the first lesson i'm
parted to any small sons and
daughters will be. Children, don't
never monkey with no beehiVes, you
can take it from ma-she knows"
Since the above was written, the
interesting event" has taken place,

REPUBLICANS OF VERMONT VOTING
 AT PRIMARIES

Montplier. Vt, March 3-(UP)- Vermont republicans went to the rolls to-day in primary in which Senator Frank c. Partridge and Warren R. Austin were the oppon- ents for the nomination of U. S. senator. With victory virtually tan- tamount to election in this over- whelmingly republican state, Yer monters probably will know tonight which of these candidates is to suc- ceed the late Senator Frank l.. Greene. Partridge was appointed few weeks ago to fill the vacancy pending the special eection.
 Describing himself as member of the republican "young guard" Austin. who is 54, has contended that Partridge, at the age of 68, is too old to embark upon senatorial career. Partridge's supporters, on the other hand, have pointed to Austin's long record as a lawyer in the Vermont-New Hampshire boun- dary controversy and declared that ne has collected big counsel fees from the state.

BALDWIN STREET WILL SOON HAVE
 IMPROVEMENTS
Rails and Ties Will Be Torn Up Just as Soon as the City Is Ready to Begin the Paving

A. l.. Donnelly, divisional engineer of the Connecticut Co and Superin- tendent of Streets Thomas Y. Elem ing, held5a conference over the week end at which many problems per- taining to the city streets were dis cussed. One of the most important decisions. made was that dealing with Baldwin street. MT Donnelly promised that the company would tear up the rails and ties son this street when the city was ready. 10 proceed with the paving.
 Mir Donnelly was also made, ac- quainted with the fact that the con- dition of, our main streets. adjoining the rails. calls for immediate action. He stated that he would give this matter his attention in the very near future and some adjustment made 10 remedy this situation.
 The law states that the$ trolley company must take care of the pavement eight inches either side of the railroad tracks. There are many streets with trolley tracks that present, hazards with the holes lo- catcd adjoining the, rails. and 1t is difficult for motorists to drive over these streets without running a risk of damage to their. automobiles
