THE century was growing old.
Il The stage in Manhattan was
the most glamorous institution in
the western hemisphere.
AT the music hall of Weber and
Fields, the silent and shapely
frankie Bailey, who suffered from
a passionate lassitude, was re-
ceiving two rounds of applause on
opening nights, one for each leg.
Lillian Russell, one of the three
drowsy daughters of Mrs. Cynthia
Leonard, the suffrage leader, was
singing My Evening Star" She
was billed as The American
Beauty" and bartenders we're
naming their most tantalizing
cocktails after her.
Slim waists and thick hips were
the fashion The Police Gazette
was in every barber shop. Mrs.
Leslie Carriers fiery red hair,
reaching to her knees, was one
of the sights of Broadway.
Ladies were easily shocked. Anna
Held was singing Won't You
Come and Play Wiz Me?" The
whispered song was called mot an
invitation, but a demand"
And Harold Seton, "the cham
pion f1rst-nighter of the American
stage" was present at each per-
miere in one of the stalls set aside
for him and for Diamond Jim
Brady, and for George Kessler,
the champagne agent known al
ways by his last name, and for
Aimee Croker, she of the many
legends and the many marriages.

sentences Of the time when the
first night was spectacle.
Seton'S memories are Winchel-
liam because he was as much at
home in the dressing rooms OF
aristocratic actresses as he was
in the first night stalls.
For a score of years David Be-
lasco, his friend, invited him to
dress rehearsals. For amusement
he wrote green room gossip for
the papers and his signature,
"Ritzy," was one of the towns
enigmas. And, at intervals, for
the fun of it, he acted for Deit-
richstein and BelaSco.
He was entranced by the CT
nema when it was novelty and

rs Defendants Named Three Times
in Title Action.
The hottest. most thirst-provokine
job in the Marion county courthouse
today was that Of Joseph G. Bowen
bailif in the superior court OF
Judge G. E. Weir.
Bowen, in line with his duties as
bailiff, calls defendants in cults
loudly three times, and after the
third call if the defendant doesn't
appear the judgment is rendered
through default.
After weeks trial on his voice at
calling defendants in noncontested
divorce cases, Bowen today rivaled a
farmer doing his nightly hog-call-
ing, in suit to quiet title.
Twenty six defendants were
named in the suit and Bowen, per-
spring, was forced to call each
name in loud tones three times. His
calls were unanswered.

she now has the advantage in arms
over Germany and intends to re-
tain that advantage, unless and
until the other nations of the world,
including the United States, enter
into some sort of mutual security
pact with her.
Great Britain, while posing as
one Of the outstanding leaders in
the movement for world peace and
arms reduction, has made it plain
that as long as she is able she in
tends to remain the worlds pre-
dominant sea power, despite Amer
lcas admitted claims to parity.
Sea power depends not upon
fleets alone, but upon merchant
marines and naval bases as we'll.
Britain is superior to the United
States in all three. She has SUI
perior battleShip tonnage and range,
superior cruiser tonnage, superior
tonnage in merchant ships capable
of being converted into auxiliary
cruisers, and far more and better
located naval bases.
Shoe on Other Foot
Another discoWaging revelation
following the Hoover arms proposal
is the fact that one of the princi-
pal obstacles in the road to disar-
mament, paradoXically enough, is
the lack of ornaments in key coun-
tries.
In 1921, when the United States
had the biggest navy on the globe.
built and building, the other lead
ing sea powers almost fell over one
another in their eagerness to reduce
naval tonnage. AS long as the
United States offered to scrap more
ships than any other power, agree
ment was easy.
Today the shoe is on the other
foot. The United States is asking
the other countries to do most of
the scrapping-and the other coun-
tries are saying nothing doing.
Were Germany today as heavily
armed as France in proportion to
population, and came forward with
a proposal to trim ornaments by
third or half, France would jump
at the chance.
Japan CriticiSes Offer
Similarly, if China and Russia
were armed more heavily than
Japan, Japan would welcome dis
armament AS it is, the Japanese
foreign office, criticiSing the Hoover
offer, said:
What sacrifice does the United
States propose to make under the
scheme? The government that
proposes such a drastic plan should
lead the way. Europe hopes for war
debts reductions. But Japan has
nothing to gain
Boiled down, the attitude of the
great powers toward the American
disarmament proposal is: What
will you give us to reduce our
armaments?" Each is seeking some
selfish or national advantage at the
expense of the rest.
The outlook thus revealed is far
from reassuring. Despite ip-service
to international peace and CO.
operation, the world still is prac-
ticing the policy of the devil-take-
the-hindmost, and is arming more
heavily than any time in its his
tory.
