REGISTRATION DAY
TO Be TOMORROW
Benjamin Franklin U. Ready
for 26th Year With Re-
vised Program.

Tomorrow marks the opening Of reg
istration for the twenty-sixth year at
Benjamin Franklin University for the
evening department, and September 26
for the day department. Benjamin
Franklin University, one of the few
schools in the country devoted exclusively
to professional preparation in account
ancy and business administration, offers
the well known Pace curriculum. The
Pace course is one Of the oldest COM
bined courses in accounting, law as it
relates to business, economics, finance
and income tax and has been given
continuously in Washington since 1907.
In recognition Of a new trend in the
demand for accountancy-trained men
and women, the Pace courses have been
broadened to prepare for the private ac-
counting field, municipal and govern
mental accounting, as well as the certi-
fed public accountant examinations and
the public practice of accountancy.
The courses lead to professional de-
grees and are arranged to prepare
graduates for specific positions in busi-
vancement to higher positions of an
or administrative nature. The
work is planned to meet the needs Of
the young high school graduate who
wishes to take the direct road to devel-
opment Of an earning capacity. Aca-
demic courses of cultural nature are
necessarily omitted from the curricu-
lum, but subjects are arranged and
taught so as to develop reasoning ability
and to give the student an understand
ing of the business world.
These courses also are sought by en-
ployed men and women who wish to
continue their education for purposes of
advancement in their present employ
ment or to enable change to a more
attractive field of work.
To meet the needs of both groups Of
students, instruction is offered in both
day and evening departments. Day
classes meet from $50 to 1890 daily
while evening classes meet three nights
a week. Evening students have their
choice of classes from $50 to 7:20 or

They Want This Kate

Watching Kate Curling, the
attractive ingenue Of the Irish
Players, the thought struck me
that were I a Hollywood pro-
ducer, here was a youthful pros
pect who would soon be on my
payroll. ..,..
Here is a colleen who can act,
has beauty, youth, and figure,
plus a radiant personality. There
ought to be some place in the
HOLLYWOOD scene for such a COM
bination of talents.
Impressario WickeS tells me he
has been deluged with movie
offers for his prize ingenue. He
has in his pocket four written
offers-one from each of the
largest producing companies-to
make screen tests. But Ingenue
Curling is tied up tight by the
Abbey Players for at least two
more seasons. AS a matter OF
fact she is not keen to make
American pictures. Her brogue,
thick indeed in the Irish dramas,
almost entirely disappears in or
binary conversation so that 1t is
not a handicap for the movies.

Jimmy Lake Has
Troupe Hitting
on High

The magical touch Of Manager
Jimmy Lakes hand has never
been more evident than it was
yesterday when he opened his
stock season with practically the
same cast as last week but with
a show which for entertainment
rates at least SO per cent higher.
And the comedy is superior to
the brand dished out by the same
trio last week. There's no doubt
but what Sam Raynor, Bimbo
Davis and Lee Hickman can draw
the laughs if they have any
sort Of material with which to
work. Raynor and Davis would
add prestige to anyone'S bur
leSque show and both are allowed
more play than they had been
getting which may account for
the success. Hickman outdoes
himself in courtroom Skit in
which he takes the part of the
judge and the defense attorney
as well as the prosecuting attor-
ney.
Even the chorus shows remark
able improvement. It's hard to
believe that they are the same
girls who cavorted in such hap
hazard manner only seven days
before.
Bee Keller, the plump blonde,
whose dances seem likely to
shake limb lose from her body,
again wins a major share of the
plaudits, while Joy st. Clair,
pretty little singer and dancer, is
seen altogether too seldom. A
newcomer to the production but
who is well known to patrons of
the Gayety is Ruth Bradley. an
attractive brunei with a sweet
voice. Buster Phillips, boisterous
lanky redhead with a flair for
comedy, scored quite a hit with
most of the fans.
Constant favorites are the
Reed Sisters, Gertie and Rae, and
that fine straight man, Ray Par.
sons, whose songs add much to
the attraction. George Kennear,
