peramental fireworks are unleashed
as would make the average family
seem emotionally dead. A steady
= parade of Mysteries, breakfasts, bell
boys, monkeys, parrots, violin cases,
travelling cases and such like are
visible. And, whenever the action
threatens to become quiet. some one
comes hurting down the long stairs
and nearly breaks his neck in the
hurting. All OF which proves the
existence of the Cavendish family,
whose pulses are tuned to the stage,
who are born between matinees and
die only after curtain calls.
A dif1cult piece, the National
Players play it with abandon and a
splendid CLOSING over Of misplaced
wordage-if there are any. Mrs.
Hubbard, as Fanny Cavendish, the
head of the family, unquestionably
rises to her greatest hetghts-and
mean heights. She dominates the
play as the oldest, most seasoned,
most expertly temperamental of her
irascible family, and when she dies,
the play dies with her.
The others all seem ideally at
their ease in roles which have no
ease. Stanley RidgeS-but for omit
ting a grand piece of business" In
the first act, when he runs up the
stairs and should arrive at the top
minus most of his garments-S

supposed daughter, gives credible
performance, and Forrest Orr, next

THIEF, SURPRISED,
FEELS VICE MAYOR
Youth Shot and Captured
After Robbing Alexandria
Officials Home.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May r.
Knocking down Vice Mayor Arthur
Herbert, who stood In the way OF his
escape from Mr.. Herbert's home in
Rosemont early this morning, a 20
year-old burglar fed from the house
almost into the arms Of policeman,
who was forced to shoot him in the
thigh. The youths condition is n1t
serious.
After the youth was shot he con-
tinued to run away from Patrolman
George Roberts, who had fired at him,
and hid in a bush near the scene Of
the robbery, where he was found two
hours later by two other officers, Pa
trolmen Kelly and Embrey.
The burglar, who gave his name as
Joe Mardo of New York City, is re-
parded by police as "floater." He was
taken to the Alexandria Hospital, where
an operation will probably be perform
ed later today by DR.. M. D. Delaney to
remove the bullet.
Blocks Burglars Exit.
Vice Mayor Herbert said this morn
ing that he awoke to find the burglar
ransacking his room. The man flashed
an electric torch into his face, Mr.
Herbert stated, which temporarily
blinded him. The vice mayor then
jumped from his bed and stood De-
tween the burglar and the door.
With his escapeecut off, the burglar
struck the vice mayor in the chest,
knocking him down, and 1eaped from
the kitchen window through which he
had entered the house.
Mrs. Herbert had awakened during
the commotion. Her screams attracted
the attention of Patrolman Roberts, who
was patrolling his beat near the house.
Roberts ran toward the house just as
the burglar emerged. When his COM
mands to halt were not obeyed Roberts
fired twice.
.. Other Police Called.
Sergt. George EVERY and other mem
bers Of local police were called but could
not find a trace of the burglar. Blood
stains on the pavement led them to be-
lieve, however, that one Of Roberts
shots had found its mark. Mardo was
found two hours later by the two other
oficers when they were attracted by
groans to the bush in which he was
concealed.
The burglar had taken nothing of
value from the house when Mr.. Her
bert awakened, but had gone through
the lower floors and had already
searched the vice mayors trousers. The
burglar missed roll of bills on stand
near Mr.. Herbert'S bed.
Capt w. w. Campbell of local police
Is sending description Of the man to
various metropolitan police departments
today in an effort to learn more about
him.

It is very hard for gentlemanly boy to be happy in an environment where he is not appreciated. It is almost as difficult for lady-like girl to get along where other girls have not been trained in manners. But I think the hoy has it par | ticularly hard because in so many communities it is considered a stigma among growing youths to possess any quality that reflects culture.

Hollywood, June 11--Just a few years ago young and lovely Mexi- can girl arrived in Hollywood to em-
 bark on film career.
 Fifteen years ago, or whereabouts, a vivacious Mack Sennett bathing
 beauty was just getting her start in the movies.
 To-day, in a strange combination of youth and experience, these two
 famous actresses are among the choices of six noted directors as
 '"The Six Most Beautiful Women of the Talkies." Each is given equal
 honor.
 Of course, you have already guessed the name of the first one Dolores Del Rio. And now I shall tell you the name of the second | Gloria Swanson.
 Del Rio and Swanson now join | Marlene Dietrich and Frances Dee 1 as the screens most beautiful wom-
 en in the estimation of the six movie directors who are acting as judges l for NEA Service and the Democrat. They are Mack Sennett, Josef von Sternberg, George Fitzmaurice, Mer | vyn LeRoy, Edward Sutherland and Allan Dwan.
 Tomorrow the names of the two remaining beauties will be revealed. Dolores entrance into pictures | was one of the most interesting ever ! made by a screen newcomer. ! Brought up in exclusive circles in | Mexico City, she received her first | film offer from Edwin Carewe when | he and his wife, Mary Akin, and Bert ytell and Claire Windsor went to the Mexican capital to participate | in a double marriage.
 But Dolores parents had heard about wild" Hollywood and would | not permit her to come here until after her husband, Jaime Del Rio, visited here and decided that the town would be safe for her. That | perhaps was bad report for Jaime
 to make as it was the beginning of the end of their marital happiness Dolores soaked quickly to stardom 1 and then divorced Jaime. Now she is married again, this time to Ced-
 ric Gibbons. fashion expert at the
 M-G-M. studios.
 The Mexican beauty's career has been anything but a smooth one. Her success after arriving in Hol- lywocl was almost instantaneous.
 But the tumble from the pedestal
 upon which she had been placed
 was almost as rapid. Dolores trou- ble was too much of the same thing. The same type of pictures whic'
 carried her to the top also carric~
 her back down again. Her produc-
 tions ceased to make m oney. Then she became seriously ill and was forced to retire for nearly year.
 In good health again now. how ever, and more beautiful than ever.
 Dolores is starting her comeback.
 And now for Gloria Swanson.
 It seems rather needless to des-
 cribe Miss Swanson's beauty For
 the past IS years her face and figure
 have been seen by millions of movie fans.
 Back in the days when she and the movies were much younger, the
 glorious Gloria blossomed forth as
 Mack Sennett bathing beauty.
 With her were numerous other girls

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I95I BY NEA SERVICE INC.

Don't frown and fret over those frown and fret lines between your eyes. Do what you can to obliterate them and finish the good deed by making them up right.
 In the first place, you can actually fill in those crevices with good licks in the shape of liquid face powder Or you can use rich powder base cream for the top in nonchalant manner. You'll be surprised how much either does to cover up those frown lines.
 In the second place. the best way to keep them from attracting atten- tion is to make up the eyes in a way that keeps folks looking at them and not between them.
 Gives Placid Look
 This means making up the outer lids heavier than the part next the nose. It is a good trick anyhow. It gives the impression that your eyes are widespread, which in itself hints of Q placidity in you that bellies frowns between the eyes.
 Whatever color eyelid cream you use, put 1t on from the outer part of the lid, and smooth 1t over towards the nose That sees to 1t that the heaviest part of the makeup goes where 1t is first put. Do the same with your eyebrow pencil, beginning slightly beyond where your eyebrows start at tho center
 A Difficult Trick
 There is q third trick which l hesi- tate to mention because only the skilled hand can apply it without It's looking artificial. That is a touch of make up at tho outer corner of the eye. If put on just right, and of the right color-thls touch widens tho look of the eyes. gives a serenity to them and is most effective,

 But the other boys evidently re- sented the fact that he was clean, that he used first-class grammar, that he was smart, polite and of un- usually high calibre. They lay in wait as he passed, tripped him, called him "high-hat," baby rifled his pockets, and threw his books in the mud.

He is going to his grandmother in an other city until her present lease runs out and she can get a house in more suitable community where her boy can be happy and grow up as he should.
