A TLANTA, Ca, March 4-The 4th
~ of March was Inauguration day
~ fcr the University of Maryland
basket ball team that last night
carried off the Southern Conference
crown by defeating the University Of
Kentucky in the final game Of the
tourney, 29 to 81.
The Old Liners left here at noon
today, not only taking along with them
the court championship after wading
through field of the leading is teams
in the Dixie organization. but also had
two all-Southern players in Bozey Ber-
ger and Ed Ronkin, both Of whom play
ed the guard positions during the
struggle for the championship.
Kentucky Has Three.
Kentucky, the runner-up, placed the
other three men on the all-star cast
as selected by the sports writers-Mc-
Ginnis and Spicer, forwards, and Yates,
center.
Maryland played great basket ball to
beat Kentucky, although the team fall
tered in the late stages after holding
an 18-to-7 lead at intermission and
had to rally to win after once seeing
the score swing the wrong way, IS to
81. Then Berger, the outstanding
player of the tourney, came through
with two baskets in the last minute to
give the Old Liners the game and the
gonfalon.
No Sub Used.
Maryland used only five men In the
final tilt and all of them played fine
basket ball, but it was the cool, calcu-
lating and brilliant all-around per-
formancss of Berger and Ronkin that
told. Berger, In particular, was the
cog around which the Old Line ma
chine moved. He dominated the play

they. step of the train. They deserve it.
The Old Liners won the plaudits of
the fans who attended the tourney for
their fine play, courage and sportsman
ship and got an ovation when they
walked of the court last night.
Maryland students had College Park
"an lit up" last night in celebrating
the Oiu GlHeTb VlCLOTy III Lne southern
Conference basket ball tourney at At
lanta.
Immediately the final score was heard
about the campus. the students rushed
from the dormitories and frat houses
and gathered wood with such dexterity
as to almost alarm the college watch
man. and soon huge pile, reaching
20 feet in the air, was blazing. The
College Park Fire Department was
about to go out to quelI the blaze until
1t was advised as to its location and
purpose.
Plans also are going forward today
to meet the Old Line players when they
get home from Atlanta tomorrow morn
ing at 7:05. There are no classes at
Maryland until 800, and many of the
boys and goods will rise earlier than
usual tomorrow TO make the trip into
Washington. 1t also Is probable that
the student band may be in the turnout.

Wall Street, by the way, is SAID
to have called a halt on contract
wars for star services. It's about
time. Here's one vote that no
actor or actress in Hollywood is
worth $4,000 a week, the latest
quoted high figure. To continue
such financial hari-kari would
simply mean the end of Is and
so cent movies. For this burden
must eventually be passed along
to those who pay at the boz
office. It's going to be hard on
those who can't struggle along on

JERITZA GAY
AND in FINE
VOICE

The Metropolitan Operas famed
prima donna. Marie Jeritza, sang
before one of the largest audi

terday afternoon at Constitution
Hall.
The Statuesque, blonde Aus
trian, for all the world like a
Greek Goddess, was in splendid
voice and in gay mood and while
she held her auditors entranced
with her superb soprano tones
she also kept them amused by
her irrepressible joyfulness.
At one point during her sing
ing of Trees" she was seized by
an uncomfortable fit of laughter,
occasioned by the failure of her
accompanist, KurZ RuhrSeitz, to
accompany her and was forced TO
start the song over again.
Jeritza's program yesterday was
well-balanced and with a wide
popular appeal. In addition to
two operatic arias, one from lie
Cid" and the other from Andrea
Chenier," she sang group Of
German lieder and several French
and English songs. The full
range of her wondrous voice was
displayed in Reynaldo Hahn's
Dune Prison." and Joseph
Szulc's "Mandoline."
Madame Jeritza was assisted by
Leonid Bolotine, violinist, who
displayed excellent muSicianship.

About Indecencies

Because I ventured to say that
"Strictly Dishonorable' was a
downright smutty comedy I have
heard considerable backfire about
this being mid-Victorian opinion.
Well, so be it. Nevertheless
shall continue to believe that 1t
couldn't have been any dirtier
without breaking the law.
The direction I found fault
with in Strictly Dishonorable''
was that which permitted actors
to pour out what purported to
be champagne and red liquor,
then moisten the lips with the
cold tea, water. or whatever it
was. and pretend they were
giving genuine speakeasy atmos,
phere. Glasses standing around
half filled are not characteristic
of the whisper-lows.
The absence of such lapSes as
these in David Belasco produc'
tions are what help to make them
great. If it was in the play that
Belasco actors create the illusion
of drinking champagne then
there would be something resemb,
ling a bubbling fluid and you can
bet your life that actors would
not be permitted to let the audi
ence know it was probably kick
less ginger ale. ~
AS for stage indecencies. the de
gree of appeal or offense rests
with the individual. In vaudeville
or musical comedy I have In
variably found that the performer
resorting to smut is generally one
whose real place on the stage is
In turkey" burlesque. Good
taste and judgment are invariably
lacking with such entertainers
Who, for instance. would expect
much wisdom from a comedlenne
who selects the White House cor
respondents dinner and the pres
ence of President Hoover as the
appropriate moment to unleash a
song barred by R-K-O theaters
and our own Earle?

KEATING TRICK
WITH CANARY
BATTLING
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

One of the simplest and most
battling of magic tricks is the
disappearing canary stunt which
Fred Heating is demonstrating
in the Belasco Theater revue
Better Times" this week. I
gather it is simple because a
line of Loew'S Palace chorines
did the trick a couple of months
ago. Not, however, with the
finesse and ease of the deceptive
Mr.. Heating, and not with a live
canary. Ziegfeld planned a
canary number for Simple
Simon" but withdrew it when
Magician Heating protested.
Incidentally, I was the embar..
rassed committee of one selected
by the hoCu-pocus man on Sunday
night to be an unwilling audience
assistant for the threaded needle
trick. This also was not entirely
new to me. l was present when
Harry Houdini demonstrated this
trick for the late A. Paul Keith
at a Boston Athletic Association
luncheon. thereby winning his
first contract for the Keith thea
ters. 1t was a great trick then
and is still a mystifying per-
formance.
But this sounds as though 1
were belittin' the Heating per-
formance. 1 don't mean to. 1t
is the brightest and best thing
in the Better Times" show and
since the magician forced me to
gaze at his tonsils and molars on
Sunday night I can report he has
Q truly magnificent set of teeth.
