& NEW organization has come out Of
this mans town. 1t is called the
Veterans Pals" and it has to do with
sending convalescent soldiers to the
theater.
Organized only last week, the Veterans
Pals numbers on its roster at present such
names as Joseph p. Tumulty, Wilton j.
Lambert, Fred Buchholz, George Preston
Marshall and c. Melvin Sharp, all lovers
of the theater, who each have set aside
IS theater tickets for all the Saturday
matinee performances of the National
Theater Players. The tickets will be
distributed to. veterans of the World
War only, men who offered their lives
for their country.
Three great Government hospitals will
benefit by the patriotic offerings of the
Veterans Pals-Walter Reed, Mount
Alto and the United States Naval Hos
pital in Washington. 1t is expected
that other prominent men of social and
official Washington will join forces with
the Veterans Pals and that at least
500 or 600 seats may be available at
each Saturday matinee for men who are
virtual recluses in Uncle Sans hospitals.
There are no officers in the Veterans
Pals and newcomers will be welcomed
with open arms. It is necessary, how
ever, to express q desire to participate
in this worthy enterprise-the furnish
ing of entertainment to the disabled vet
Grams of the World War. Any one of
the five men mentioned or the box office
boys at the National Theater will fur
nish details.

SOME disappointment has been
- expressed that the great and
only Al Jolson, with what appears
to be an entirely new type of en-
tertainment for Washington, and
under so great a sponsor and
supervisor as Mr.. Gest, American
maker of 1.-The Miracle" should
be hustled in at the tag end of the
week to his old home town and
then as speedily hustled out again.
Whether or not you liked 1.-THE

erring eye of the camera and the
most uncanny semblance of hu-
man language emitted by its
sound producers. That's really
why AL Is back with "hiS first
love-" believe it or not. AS to his
new type of entertainment, it yet
remains to be determined, appar-
entity, whether it Is a blessing or
a uno. Many of the revues, with
their extended runways, and THE

down into the aisles, served to

temperamental in the matter of
keeping up with it's bookings, leav-

of his shifts from one thing to

prints win herald what is hoped
to be accomplished. Some of these
ardent thespianS, however, by
study and effort, have passed the
stage Of amateurism and have
launched out into effort more dar-
ing, with less lack of confidence
and with more of a demand for
attention to really serious en-
deavor.
Under the auspices of the Com
munity Drama Guild Of Washing
ton there has just been concluded
a most interesting one-act play
contest, and the results have been
indeed gratifying to all concerned,
even to the clubs and players that
missed the crown of reward, for
the judges in the finals declared
that probably the best dramatic
effort ever made in Washington
had brought out most unexpected
and gratifying results. There was
praise all along the line, and the
fortunate cneS who reached the
awards won their victory only by
narrow margins, SO excellent had
been the achievements of their
competitors. Naturally, all who
have the cultural interest of the
community at heart will earnestly
desire to encourage and assist
these young folks in exploiting
their talents. Who can say how
soon Washington may be depend

special attention at this time to
the fact that, despite the procla-

matter of its truth, the Actors

at a recent meeting, have them

incongruous to advance that we
are now nearing "the Winter Of

cerned. TryoutS Of musical come

a sign of the fadeout, with the

be that the dying present will

the announcement of the new
Pinero play seems to be one Of
them, but the advance notices
must provide information of the
others, If any. Washington, just
now, seems to be largely depend
ent upon the stock outlook, if a
glorious Spring is to follow it's
Winter. Manager Cochran, with
his perennial repertory, this year
apparently more brilliant than
ever, is just month away, and
that, by the way, is one of the
hopes that make Washington
beautiful all the year round; why
everybody, who doesn't, wishes to

outstanding reason why Congress
should lcok more kindly upon its
alien inhabitants than it usually

RUT Washington, notwithstand-

Ethel Barrymore is now turning

taste its salt before it can revel in

WHEN is A PICKEREL
NOT A PICKEREL?

If a pickerel isn't a great northern
pike and a great northern pike is a
muskellunge, then what is the diff
ference between these fish?
This is one of the questions which is
puzzling the boys and girls OF the
middlewest, says the Izaak Walton
League in recent fishing bulletin to
Youngsters who have entered the ma
tional boys and girls big fish contest
sponsored by the League.
The young Waltonians who are
eager to win one of the 140 prizes
offered by the League for catching big
fish are advised as follows:
The fish usually called a 'pickereP
(Esox lucius) in the central states also
known as the great northern pike, es-
pecially when it attains weight OF
II, Is and 20 pounds or better. Fur
ther confusion is added to the Situ-
alton by the fact that the muskellunge
is sometimes called northern pike
although it is quite distinct from the
latter. Therefore, in the boys and
girls fishing contest the pickerel is a
pickerel, as well as northern pike
but the terms have nothing to do with
the true grass pickerel' or grass
pike" which does not grow larger than
a foot in length.
