RUSSIAN REVUE
TO BE STARTED
AT EARLY HOUR

In order that the full program of
Yushnys THE Blue Bird big Rus
sian revue which plays here Thurs
day night, may be given and be
concluded at an hour which will
permit attendance at other social
functions, the curtain on the revue
will rise promptly at 7:30, Manager
Norris, of Fox Imperial theatre an
nounced today.
This early start will bring the re-
vue to a close around 10 o'clock.
The revue has been described as a
cocktail, of dance, song, musical
comedy and romantic tableaux 'bub-
bling with robust fun and charged
with light gayety, spiced with the
flavors of old Russia and served
with a continental sophistication on
a stage bright with fantastic color
and dripping with the haunting
melodies of Russian music.
A high spot in the revue is the
famous Cossack chorus, which will
be heard in the songs of the steppes
and of the gay metropolitan areas
of Russia, which were the livelieSt
Of all European cities before the
war.
One Of the most delightful parts
of the program is the work of
Yushny. who acts in capacity SIM
liar to the American master of cere-
monies. His reputation for murder

coded him from the east coast.
where the revue has been a decided
hit in all cities where it played.
Comedy, a bit of pathos, splendid
singing, dancing, mimicry, clever
burlesques and beautiful ensembles
make the entire program something
that will long be remembered.
Practically all Of the cast are men
and women who were forced to flee
Russia to escape with their lives
after the revolution.
Advance orders received already
indicate that the revue is going to
be as popular here as it has
wherever it has been shown.

What OCTANE Rating
Means to Motorists

High Octane efficiency successfully
puts gasoline power into harness! In
stead of premature knocking" explo-
sions that help to block piston action,
the flow of energy in gasoline of high
actual Octane rating surges progress
sively zVifh the piston throughout its
entire stroke. Not only does your mo-
tor respond more smoothly-a new and
higher quota of gasoline power is being
converted into engine-power.
In the great Standard Oil laboratories,
by ingenious and accurate devices, sci
entists now measure motor fuel perfor-
nance under actual road operating
conditions. These super tests show
Standard" motor fuels to be unsur-
passed in Octane efficiency as well as
i'm their effective volatility, quick start
ing carburation and power.

*WHAT OCTANE RATING
In non-technical language Octane
Rating is arrived at in this manner:
Iso-Octane is laboratory prepared
fuel having 4 very high anti-knock
value. Heptane is fuel having a
very low octane, or anti knock,
value. By mixing the two together
in varying proportions, the anti
knock quality of any gasoline can
be duplicated exactly. The per cent
of iso-octane in this mixture is then
the Octane Rating number of that
gasoline.

U ONDON, May 5.-Seven Of the
ten golfers who will defend the
Ryder Cup in the matches
against the United States at
Columbus, Ohio, in June today were
selected by the British Professional
Golfers Association.
The list is headed by Capt. Charles
Whitcombe, selected some time ago;
Archie Compton, H. c. jolly, Abe
Mitchell, Fred Robson, Ernest Whit
combe, brother Of Charles, and w. H.
Davies of Wallasey.
The association announced that the
three remaining players would be Sc
lected in a fortnight, presumably after
the Southport tournament, which opens
Monday. The team will consist OF
eight players and two reserves.
The list named occasioned no sur
prise, except perhaps the failure to
name George Duncan, who captained
the team which defeated the United
States at Moortown in 1929.
Duncan hasn't particularly diStin-
guished himself In the trial matches
this Spring, but he is an inspired play
er on many occasions. He has never
lost a match to Walter Hagen, captain
of the United States team, and the gen.
eral feeling is that he will yet be Sc
lected.
W. H. Davies is the only newcomer
to the team.

No. 6-Short Iron PLAY.

No. 6-Short Iron Play.
~ NE Of the commonest faults
Of the ordinary golfer Is to
stand too far away from
the ball, especially in max
ing short iron shots.
suppose a part of this Is be-
cause most players go into the game
with the memory and habit OF max
ing base ball swings.
Subconsciously, the average player,
if he is slicing or connecting with
the heel of his club, feels he should
stand farther away from the ball to
correct the tendency.
Actually, he should stand closer to
the ball. The upright swing provides
more control and consequent accu-
racy for these short shots.
I should say out of 10 players
would gain better results by stand
ing at least an inch or two closer.
On the tee, another common fault
is to spread the legs too far apart.
The main thing is to have an easy
balance for the backSwing and fol-
low-through. 1t should be remem-
bered that the idea is to hit with
the clubhead, not with the body.
My early teacher, Tom Kerrigan,
once told me:
"One of the most difficult things
to teach Is to retain a firm grip
with the fingers and still keep re-
Taxed or flexible wrists. The golfer
who grips his club firmly usually
stiffens his wrists. too. Or, If he
thinks about keeping flexible wrists
he fails to grip the club firm enough"
On iron play, If were to pass
along advice for the early stages of
the season, I would suggest that
player take his mashie and midiron
out alone for a brisk workout. A
half hour spent with these two clubs
in practice will pay dividends.
Most players, when they pick up
again after the Winter, go away of
the line with their irons. BY taking
the two clubs suggest chance is
afforded to work out the kinks in two
vital features CT iron play-namely,

SANTA CLAUS
SPEAKING
BY William Herschell

Observation-Disclosures

GOOD evening, Children! Through
the ''niSe"
I'll just say this before I hike:
No monkey-business goes tonight
Run off to bed, turn out the light;
Don't snoop around or try to see
What chance you have detecting me.
Pm pretty slick at l1etching kids
Who only halfway close their lids;
Why, l don't even hesitate
Where smarty children stay up late!
Don't pull that drink-of-water stuff
You can't fool me- that's just bluff!
Best way to dove always found
In all my years of going round,
Is just play square with Santa Claus,
For he has certain rules and laws
Which make it necessary-Yes,
That you cut out your snoopiness!
How sweet it is when children do
The things old Santa asks them to.
They never have sigh or tear
IF they believe in him each year.
Say, sometimes, Children who are good
Get more than what they thought
they would!
