NOEL THORNTON of the Asso-
ciated Press tells us that
now Spring is here, wandering
bands of Broadway actors are
taking to the highways, and,
within the next fortnight or two,
two dozens of Summer stock COM
panies will be located in resort
towns throughout New England
and other parts of the East" This
suggests the fact that, after only
one short week, our own Summer
company, the National Theater
Players, will be making their GUS
tomary bow to enthusiastic ad-
mirers. The excellent players that
Manager Steve Cochran has gath
cred for quite number of sea-
sons now have not only fulfilled
their purpose in providing fine
entertainment for many who
could not afford the high prices
Of the regular season, but have
proved to be admirable stepping
stones to higher things in the
atric art and advancement to the
players themselves. Many warm
favorite of preceding Summers
offices and is denied return here
breakable engagements with out
standing hits Of the regular sea-
son, which are still making hay
while the sun shines. Indeed
many of the patrons who have
admired ard applauded the Ma
tional Players do not hesitate to
confess that their desire for the
atric art has been completely
satisfied by the Cochran aggrega-
tions at the National, which, taken
all in all, have entertained, dur
ing their more or less brief en-
gagementS, with better plays than
for any given period during the
regular season, and always by a
better all-round cast. 1t is also
well known that some very Su-
perior players seek engagement in
our Summer stock company large
ly for the benefit of the directorial
training they receive under Cliff
ford Brooke, who is accounted
among the great directors in the
American theater. Manager Coch-
ran well deserves the generous
support of Washington's theater
lovers.

LeOna Powers Returns

EONA POWERS. for two seasons a
very popular leading lady with the
National Theater Players. returns to re-
sumo the lead roles this season by &C
tual request Of the patrons.
The management conducted a voting
contest among the reguiar subscribers
and Miss Powers name led all the
others. A contract was signed and
this week Miss Powers will come from
the Pacific Coast, where she has been
appearing in various travelling and
stock organizations.
In her past performances with the
National Players, Leona Powers proved
herself an actress Of the highest caliber.
She Is rated as the best repertoire lead
ing woman in the country, having play
ed roles from Pollyanna, representing
a 12-year-old girl, to a mature woman,
One OF her outstanding performances
was given as Diane IN Seventh
Heaven" She made sucn a striking
hit in this play that its engagement
was extended three times to CAPACITY
audiences.

that Leona Powers won out in the

TINE young lady who sat
curled up on wicker
sofa in her dressing room
seemed far cry from the
wrinkled Madeline Claudet. But
it was Madeline, all right, just as
it was Miss Helen Hayes, known
to theatergoers last week as "Lu,"
the fortunate movie usher of Mr..
Molnar's comedy, "The Good
Fairy" as also the star of one of
the major picture successes of
the year, "The Sin of Madeline
Claudet."
A person of somewhat tender
years came in at that moment
with a pad on which she begged
Miss Hayes to write her autograph
after the name Rosa" Miss
Hayes obliged with the name and
with a smile. As the young lady
stood first on one foot and then
on the other, not wanting to go,
Miss Hayes said to her:
do you like my pictureS?"
"Oh, yes! I like them very
much. Particularly Madeline
Claudet. But" Stammered the
child with a blush, Il don't see
how you got old in such hurry"
"Oh, got old all right-doing
the picture!"
Miss Hayes laughed, and the
child laughed and went skipping
out of the room hugging her new
autograph.
There's my new public" said
Miss Hayes, who is undoubted-
ly pleased at having suddenly
crashed" cinematic heights, and
who in her makeup seems much
too young to have rocked one end
of the country to the other with
her magnificent performance as
the woman who Spanned a life
time going down and down and
down.
"Is it easier crying before the
camera than it is on the Stage?"
"Oh, no-on the stage your au-
dience cries with you, and before
the camera there is nothing
nothing but a silence that is al
most oppressive, it is so great.
You know, they came along and
tackled blotting paper on to my
heels to make things even quieter.
And then how I cried-how I
cried!"
Miss Hayes is not fundamentally
serious person. She doesn't
"emote," that is, when she talks
to you. There's a great deal of
mischief lurking somewhere. She
has a good many of the qualities
OF a Peter Pan, which qualities,
incidentally, are reflected more
than casually in a picture of a wee
small person who smiles down at
her from her dressing table. That
happens to be Miss Macarthur,
who caused so much excitement

Diana Wynyard.

IT TOOK just one stage play "The
Devil Passes" to convince Holly
wood that Diana Wynyard was just the
sort Of person needed by an industry
feverishly seeking new talent.
Accordingly, when that play ends its
tour, Miss Wynyard will HE herself to
Hollywood and take up work at the
Metro-G -GoldWyn-Maye studios, Where
she is considered "a real find" and her
fresh beauty and attractive talent are
said to warrant the assumption. 1t
has even been limited that she will step
into the niche now filled by the great
Garbo-when and if
AS a matter of theatrical history,
Miss Wynyard is the sole survivor OF
the English company that gave Benn
Levy's The Devil Passes its first per
formance in England, under the title OF
The Devil" Her work was considered
of such excellence that Arch SelWyn
imported her for his American pro-
duction.
Yet THE Devil did not mark the
young actress first success, for she
had made an excellent reputation for
herself on the English stage. She flrst
began acting at a very tender age in
pany, and came in to London with %
stock company roles to her credit, in
tending to teach elocution. The next
season found her touring with Marie
Iohr in THE Love Game" and then
for two years she was with the Liver
pool stock company.
Two years ago she made great
success In "Petticoat Influence" play
ing the same role that fell to Helen
Hayes in this country. Before that
she had made a decided impression In
Sorry You've Been Troubled" even
though she played Just bit. Hon
ours Easy" Roland Pertwee melo-
drama. gave her another boost, as did
@. B. Stern's The Man Who Pays the
Piper"
She also won high praise for her
acting, opposite Leslie Banks, in the
English presentation of Lean Har-
vest" Then came THE Devil" Amer

(New York World Telegraph

The mighty Amateur Athletic Union arose in it's wrath Monday and struck from it's lists the name of the greatest girl athlete in the countrys history. It alleged that she had penned an ndorsement of automobile and let her picture be used in an advertisement. The hand that sullied was not 2O-year-old Babe Ddrkson's but the Amateur Athletic Unions.
 She was not accused of unsportsmanke conduct No mention made of the fact that in order to pursue her athletic she works clerk in insurance agency The charge and the rules on which it was based artificial.
 To informed people the amateur" no longer means anything but compuHion of deception on the part of those lacking the personal means to live up to the code of arstocratic exclusive ness. Amateurism originated with royalty and aris tocracy. It singles out for its exclusion girl who toiled up from poverty to high renown and who still works for her living
 In an era when queens and society leaders grant the of their signatures and photographs to advertise toilet without impairng their social status must moneyless girl be sacrificed to hypocrisy?
 It is we'll known, however, that many leading amateurs regularly violate the amateur rules. If they did not do they could not afford to par ticpate in the amateur contests Some have rich patrons
 The A. A. U. is also memorable than court of law which at least grants full and often suspended sentence a Scotch verdict The A. A. U. expelled Miss Babe Didrikson with the superclious observation Ignorance of the A. A. U rules would not be valid excuse" Actually Miss Ddrikson denies that she authorized the testi monal. But in principle it makes difference one way another
 The preposterous affront to the essential spirit of sport ought to general protest of the A. A. U. membership in the name of honesty and open competition in the modern spirit. It should not condemn Miss Didrkson, who is left out in the cold, but the futes outdated relic of snobbsry- amateursm and the organization which maintains the hypocrisy of it.

STAND BY THE DONKEY" :"

When Josephus Daniels suggested that the Demo crats ought to return to their ancient party emblem the rooster, and discard the donkey, he started controversy that has ragged throughout the country and the growing and praying continues among advo- cates of cock or ass, as the may be.
 Among other things developed in the fracas k an account of the only known suicide of a donkey which, former Juneauite declares, yielded up thS ghost in this City through grief the defeat o President Cleveland for reelection in 1888. The account is in letter, written by former Juneau ie which appeared recently in the Kansas City Star Virgil Moore, the author, popular resident of Juneau in 1888 when the incident referred to oc- cured For many, many years he has lived ir Kansas City copy of the Star containing it was sent to Thomas H Ashby, Juneau pioneer, by hi brother, Oscar Ashby, also Juneau pioneer, but now a resident of New York.
 Virgil Moore's letter printed in the Stal under the heading Stand by the Donkey ane Tom Ashby says the main part of the story, that the donkey deliberately committed suicide, is fact The letter follows:
 To the Star: Josephus Daniels urges that the Democratic Party should abandon the donkey it's emblem and adopt the rooster He says the rooster the Democratic em- bem until the Cartoonist Thomas Mast made it the donkey MT Daniels further says, "The rooster has ten times more style, beauty and clarion call than the donkey"
 Is it to be of the forgotten
 donkey?" Justice cries out against the idea
 the loyalty of the donkey never has been
 questioned
 There just donkey in all Alaska

 He bore the name of Cleveland and seemed
 to be proud of it. In November, when
 and grass wthered, the town donkey
 walked boldly into saloons and dance halls, begging for crackers and made living browsing at the back doors of hotels and restaurants When the news came that Cleveland had been elected President his namesake and party emblem headed parade and fed bountifuly with all the oat- meal and cracked wheat in town. Two weeks later the steamer Idaho tied up at the Juneau wharf with the that Cleve- land had been defeated The old donkey watched Republican celebration with sad eyes, his dropped, and he refused to eat. While a Republican orator extolled new President, old Cleveland walked down to the bay shore, waded into deep water gave defiant bray and deliberately mitted suicide.
 No barnyard rooster would be capable of such loyalty. VIRGIL MOORE.

DEFENSE OFFERED
IN RAILROAD SUIT
State Attacks Jurisdiction OF
Federal Court in Case BY
500 Line

Fargo. March 22.-tPl-Jurisdiction
of the federal court is challenged in
a motion to dismiss an action brought
by the Minneapolis. st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie railroad in an at
tempt to obtain Is per cent reduc-
ton in its tax assessment in 80 North
Dakota counties.
The motion was filed in federal
court Monday by the state.
The state board of equalization
and auditors and treasurers in all 80
counties in which the railroad oper-
ates are defendants in the action
originally filed by the railway seek
ing the reduction.
The total assessment of 1891 taxes
against the 500 Line in the state was
100000, according to liver Acker,
state tax commissioner, and if the
plea of the railroad is granted the
amount will be reduced by $l52,50O.
At a hearing before Judge John
Sanborn of st. Paul in Bismarck
March 4, an agreement was reached
whereby the railroad would pay IS
per cent of its taxes Immediately and
the balance later in the event the
federal court rules against the road
in its action for reduction.
In the motion for dismissal four
specific allegations are made. They
are.
That the matter does not arise
under the 18th amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
That the taxes complained of in
the plaintiffs bill of complaint do
not improperly burden interstate
commerce in derogation of the power
|of congress to regulate interstate
commerce under the constitution of
the United States.
That the plaintiff has a full,
complete and adequate remedy at law
and that this court is without juris-
diction to determine the matter on
controversy because of lack of equity.
THAT the court has no jurisdiction
OF the cause of action attempted to
be averred in said bill of complaint"
The motion is signed by James
Morris, attorney general; liver Acker,
tax commissioner, and states attor-
neys of the 80 counties on behalf of
the auditors and treasurers of their
respective counties.
