Welcomes Criticism

Now a word about George
Whites show. I enjoyed being
in. it, and particularly the last
two nights in washington. On
our opening night here, Sun
day, to be exact, I personally
received perhaps the greatest
cordial opening ovation 1 have
ever received in my career, ex-
ceeded only by the one I re-
ceived in New York at the
premier of the 'Vagabond
Lover" film. The applause
echoed until I was truly embar-
rassed, but it showed me that
our radio programs have not
been in vain, and that the Con-
necticut Yankees and I have
made many staunch and loyal
supporters here in the Capitol.
All of us in the show have
worked very hard to make it a
success, and it's nice to know
that the people of Washington
like the show. We're trying
awfully hard to give topnotch
performance every time the cur
tain goes up.

William Powell Has
A Comedy Character

In High Pressue," at the Met
ropolitan Theater, his second pic
ture on the Warner Brothers pro-
gram, William Powell plays a
serio-comic stock promoter, re
vealing a fine comedy talent in
sharp contrast to his suave vii

mixed in about equal proportions.

Evalyn Knapp, with lovely Ruth
Hall, Polly Walters. Geraldine
Barten and Shirley Chambers in
minor roles. Such comedy experts

Has Movie Offers

Mr.. Kelley has asked me to
put in this column some infor-
nation about my future activi-
ties, including the movies. Dur
ing my recent vacation visit,
which I spent with Mrs. Vallee
on the coast, I received several
offers from some of the major
studios. Especially was First
National interested in having
me look over a script written by
Rian James of the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle. called The
Crooner." We are negotiating
the possibility of a picture in
the near future, but I am afraid
this will have to wait until the
Fleischmann Company will per-
nit me to make it.
AS most of you readers know
since I understand the article
has been syndicated in most
every newspaper-Fay and I
have purchased a lovely estate
in the very beautiful hills of
Beverly, not far from Fay'S
home.
This has given rise to
the rumor that I am going to
desert the East entirely, and
move at once to California. 1
doubt if that will be possible due
to not only the Fleischmann
contract, but various things
that will keep me in New York
intermittently for some time to
come, but I am looking forward
to the time when Fay and I will
be. able to spend at least the win
ter part of the year at our West

ing this I am not overlook
ing the fact that Mr.. Kelley has
criticized my programs in his
column a number of times. But
l don't mind that kind of crit
icism. It's been helpful, because
there has been nothing personal
in it. The criticism was accom-
panied by constructive sugges-
tions, and I appreciate them.
So go ahead, Mr.. Kelley, and
keep it up. 1t helps me.

Praise for Papa

"Of course" he is saying, I've
had plenty of experience with
women. A fellow that's seen as
much as I is naturally a little
cynical. But you're the sweet
est kid I've met yet. When you
meet my dad he'll go nuts about
you"
The girl isn't doing badly
either. Four years in the chorus
have taught her plenty. They
should.
"I'm very happy" she is re-
plying. Il know I'm going to
love your dad. l. he's anything
like you, he must be one of the
sweetest men in the world"
If the boys father saw him
with this girl at this particular
moment, he'd probably drag him
home by the ears. And if the
girls gangster sweetie even sus-
pected that she was out with
somebody else. he would un-
doubtedly slug her plenty. Mean
while, they dance. False faces.

Coast estate, and of course I will
be happiest when we can be
there permanently, as personally
I think California is the love
liest State in the Union.
That may sound liEe treason,
because Maine itself is very
beautiful, though its beauty is
apparent only in the summer.
For the past four years I have
been working on a schedule of
almost 18 hours a day in an
effort to fulfill the many con-
tracts which were ShoWered
upon me. Contrary to popular
belief, the Connecticut Yam
KEGS, and I am receiving just
as many offers to appear and
play today as ever, in fact
more, but 1 have come to the
conclusion that I need and de-
serve, and owe to Mrs. Vallee,
much more time for recreation,
which will in no way take me
away, especially from my radio
audience. Hence we are plan
ming to see many of the major
football games in the fall; we
are also planning to spend sew
eral week-ends at our lodge in
Maine-Happy Valley, we call
it-and as soon as it is possible
we hope to get back to that
lovely estate in California.
At present our plans are
rather vague. We only know
that we are going to do much
less in the way of the grueling
routine which has been mine
for the past four years.
Thank you, Mr.. Kelley, for
this opportunity of converSing
so intimately with your readers.

Meets the Missus

I am going to take the oppor-
tunity now to say a word to
some of the Washington people
who have been good enough to
write me about my radio pro-
grams. I want to thank them
one and all, and tell them that
their letters have been deeply
appreciated. There's nothing
that anyone likes better, par
ticularly those of the radio,
than to hear from members of
the radio audience.

.itzi Green Is
Aid to Stars
As Mimic

Practically every picture thea
ter in this town of ours has been
stumped when it came to book
ing a personal appearance of
little Mitzi Green. The stumb-
ling block has been the Federal
law forbidding girls under 18
years old appearing locally.
Among those who have twice
in the past few weeks of the
vaudeville policy to try and get
special permit was R-K-O Keith's.
Always powerful no" was re-
ceived.
And then came word that Mitzi
was very prominently cast in
Girl Crazy" the perturbation of
George Gershwin's famed stage
musical with Wheeler and Wool
sey, which comes to the Fifteenth
Street Theater next Saturday.
Mitzi can't appear on the stage
but she will on the screen here
and in Girl Crazy" she'll do a
lot more than a limited Vaude-
vile act would permit.
The youngSter is only IL years
old and in the picture initiates
a whole group of famous stage
and screen stars. She is stated
to be one big hit in the picture.

wood, I've met an unusual young
man.
His name is Dominic Mcbride,
he owns 1000 phonograph records
ed he knows just which one to
play to make Greta Garbo cry or
to help Joan Crawford get into
the mood for a love scene.
Ever since he can remember.
Mcbride has been nut" on rec
ordS. Today, at 26, he is man
ager of the record department of
a Los Angeles music store. But
for three years befo~c that he
worked on the sets at Metro
GoldWin-Mayer, playing music for
the various stars.
He knows, for instance, that
when Greta Garbo is to play a
tense scene she will be inspirtd
by listening to the Peer Gynt
suites, to Tristan and Isolde" or
to DebuSsy's Afternoon of a
Faun." Or, if it is to be a crying
scene, she likes the Swedish folk
song, 20 Vermland, or Grieg's
Heart Wounds" and The Last
Spring" Or. if it's a love scene
her choice is Richard Strauss
"RoSenkavalier Waltz" Mendels-
sohn's "On Wings of Song"
Richard Wagner's "Albumblatt," >"
or most recently, Vienna, City of
My Dreams" This during the
filming of Grand Hotel"
Joan Crawford, on the other
hand, likes to cry after listening
to Bing Crosby And, before love
scenes, she chooses "EStralita,"
or melodies from La Boheme"
and Madame Butterfly"
Ramon Novarro is an accom-
plished musician and has wide
choice. For dramatic scenes, how
ever, ne usually calls for sym
phonies. Bill Haines doesn't care
very much what is played. And
Anita Page likes "St. Louis
Blues" and Manhattan Seren-
ada" for almost any mood.
The most appreciative star he
every played for, says Mcbride,
was Peggy Wood. who made
brief appearance in the films a
year or so ago.

Knows Her Book

Inc girl? Surely you know.
She's been around far longer
than her looks would suggest.
Only nineteen, she has a three
year-old baby up with the folks
In Boston, Mass. There's but
one thought in her heart at
the moment. And that's a
hope that this old buzzard will
take her to the door of the
home he has furnished and
leave without developing any
foolish notions. Then she can
call Charlie, who will be wait.
Ing. Charlie is young and
handSome-and broke.
I'm nuts about you, daddy"
she whispers as she goes by.
Me, too, about you," whines
the fool.
False faces.
Here's a Wall Street man
with a woman who is strictly
society. I've known him for
years. Once upon a time he
had money. That tells the
entire story.
He is broke now. Very broke.
But he hates to give in. He
feels that he must keep up ap-
pearances. Two or three times
a week he gets out the high hat
and steps out. His check has
now bounced in several places
and he knows the game is
almost over. Yet he keeps his
nose in the air and pays
marked attention to the woman
with whom he is dancing.
There's a reason. She is
married to a wealthy man but
she is standing on the threshold
of a divorce. When she decides
to sue it will be mutual affair
and she will come in for plenty
of sugar. The Wall Street man
thinks he will step right into
the spot.

as mercenary as they come,
and she knows as well as
that her escort is broker than

Consider Masks
Consider a few of those
masks. Sit with me as they
whirl by. They amuse me.
Perhaps they will amuse you.
See the young girl with the
elderly man? Her face is very
close to his, and he wears a
grin that tells you Immediately
of his great vanity. All Broad
way knows their secret. He is
very much in love with the
girl, and he has given her
Sables and apartment keys and
plenty of annoyance.
That grin is false face. He
is happy, yet-but only in one
direction. That child in his
arms has made him feel that,
even though he is not as youth
full as he might be, he is as
gay and debonnaire as any
youngSter in the room. He is
proud to be with her; proud of
her very great love for his dis
tinguished charms.
And underneath the mask?
Oh, my friends, how his feet
ache! How he wishes, as his
eyes droop, that he was in bed
with that friendly hot water
bottle! How he worries and
trembles when those funny.
little pains start clutching at
his heart! How we'll he knows

steaks with that-which you
can't. 1 don't think he's more

20. He's probably going to
wind up marrying the dame
he's dancing with. Because the
girl is attractive in coarse
sort of way and because it's
the first affai-' of his life.
I can't hear his exact words.
But if 1 know my types, I can't
be far wrong.

ury officials expect that about $780,
100000 will be paid by midnight
tonight on income for the first
quarter of 1881.
The fiscal year begins July /. and

which it ends. Thus this is the
fiscal year 1882, and income tax
payments today are for its third
quarter.
June returns are expected to total
SIPS 900 900, and payments of back
returns may yield an additional
sSO.OOO.O0O. These payments will
bring the total for the present fiscal
year to approximately $3.50, 100000.
In 1929, total of S60l 10000
was paid by March Is. Total for
the year was 1881 100000. Last

March Is and total payments for
the year came to 81 ,860.OO0.00O

paid in income taxes
The lowest figure of any recent
year was in 1923, when 81 ,691 900, 900

from reductions of nearly $1,000

HEAVY VOTE is
EXPECTED AT
DAKOTA POLLS
Murray-R Roosevelt Primary
Fight Promises Warm
Competition.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
BISMARCK, N. D., March 15-
Sharp interest in the fight for DEM
ocratic presidential delegates be-
tween Governors w. H. Murray and
Franklin D. Roosevelt was expected
to bring a heavy vote in the
primaries today, despite threat of
snow flurries.
Ten delegates and the prestige of
victory was the stake in the DEM
ocratic contest. Supporters of both
candidates claimed victory as the
vote started.
George Murray, Berthold Farmer
and the Oklahoma Governors
brother, predicted Murray would
win by two to one margin.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler
Dem., Mont), claimed the New
York executive would win.
Wheeler has been stumping the
state for Roosevelt while Murray
conducted his campaign in person
two weeks ago.
Observers believed the Demo-
cratic delegation might be split
since the names of the delegates are
listed alphabetically and not ac-
cording To whether they support
Murray or Roosevelt.
The presidential preference vote
is only advisory and does not bind
the delegation in the national con-
vention.
In the Republican ranks, the real
contest was between a Hoover slate
OF eleven delegates and a non
partisan list pledged to a progress
siye" candidate against the Presi-
dent.
ProgreSsives tried to interest Sem
ator Hiram Johnson (Cal.) and Ser
ator Borah { Idaho in entering the
preference contest, but were unsuc-
ceSSful.

preference ballot are "Gene~al"
