Loyal to Gu.

Lackaye's loyalty to George
town. was widely commented
upon. He attributed his success
largely to his experience there.
One evening he committed some
infraction of the rules, and dis.
ciplinary action followed. That
inspired him with the feeling
that he must make good, and in
later years he became one of the
most brilian IstarS of the Ameri-
can stage.
In 1918 he attended the ia
nous reunion at which, for the
first time In the history of G. U.
dating from 1789-beer was
served in the college refectory.
Lackaye at this time received
an honorary degree and made an
address that was long remem-
bered by students and alumni.

A FAMOUS FIGURE PASSES
AGreatAddress
Wins Tribute
Of Silence

Wilton Lackaye's passing re-
moves another of those great fig
ures that dominated the theater
not so many seasons ago. Lack
aye, born in Washington, with
relatives and q host of friends
here, was greatly interested in
the Capital City, and particularly
in the activities of Georgetown
University, which he had at
tended.
Perhaps Lackaye never played
more dramatic scene in his
life than that which he enacted
last summer, in real life and in
the utmost seriousness. at a
meeting of Georgetown men at
the New York Athletic Club.
He was in great demand as a
speaker at Georgetown gather.
ings, because he had known per
sonally every great football player
at the Hilltop since 1889, and
had fund of anecdotes about
campus celebrities. But on this
occasion he told them, simply
but impressively, that he had
another sort of story to tell
them.
He was, he said, preparing to
take the final steps down the
lane which leads to eternity. 1t
was beautiful address, in
which he brought out his view
that that solemn period of prep
aration was one of the most ab-
sorbingly interesting that he had
encountered in life; that it was
not a time for fear but one for
quickened interest and resigna-
ton.
Briefly he sketched the outline
of his career, particularly in its
aspects related to the university;
and when he had concluded the
800 Georgetown alumni present
paid him a tribute of two full
minutes of silence.
Then came an ovation such as
he had never experienced on the
stage. For Is minutes the alumni
cheered him, and tears came to
his eyes. His final words to the
Georgetown men were:
'It is indeed 'HOya, HOya
Saxa,' when Georgetown men
get together"

Off to Station House

The woman looked at him for
a moment without reply. And
then, in very cool fashion, she
made an amazing demand.
Yes" she said, "this is all
right. But before I get out Of
this car, you're going to give
me $50"
The driver looked at her in
amazement.
I'm going to give You what?"
: he roared. Are you out of
your mind?"
Not at all" was the retort.
"I'm very sane. I just happen
to need $50, and you're elected.
. Did you ever hear of the Mann
act? Well, unless you come
across, III have you arrested for
taking me from State to State"
The driver waited for no
more. He shifted his gears and
was off again.
Where are you going?" asked
the lady racketeer.
You picked the wrong guy"
was the mans reply. You and
I are going to the nearest sta
tion house. And if I hear one
more peep out of you, I'll slap
you right in the jaw. Try to
blackmail me, will you? I'll

Contest Winners
Get Chances

Thirty-eight winners of the RkO
Opportunity Revues," held IN
various parts of the country
about two months ago, have been
given contracts. These embryo
headliners are due in New York
on September 19 to begin rehear-
sails for the National Opportunity
Revue" slated to open at a New
York RKO theater on october s..
These future stars of the Vaude-
vile stage were selected from some
10000 applicants seeking career.
Each has some special ability, and
RKO executives are confident
they have made some notable dis
coverieS.
Bobby Connolly. noted stage di-
rector. will direct the national
revue, allowing two weeks for the
rehearSalS.
This is the first concentrated
step toward repopulating the
vaudeville stages of America, and
is looked upon by managers as
the most worthy movement to
give unknowns a try that has
been conceived in recent years.

Graves Prefers
To Be Write.

Ralph Graves teams once more
with Jack Holt, in the current
screen offering at the Earle,
War Correspondent"
How does Graves feel about
acting again, since he has made
such rapid progress as a screen
writer? Listen:
Here candidly is how I feel
about the matter: I think that
writing is more in my line than
acting. 1 am just finishing work
on a play dealing with Holly
woods royal families, called The
Queen Takes a Bow which is eX-
pected to be produced in New
York in the fall and which will
later be brought to the screen
by M-G-M.
II think I am a self conscious
type of actor. If 1 can be my
self in a role, then I enjoy acting.
But if I have to fake character
izations, then I don't enjoy act
ing. I think the script of War
Correspondent is good, and I like
nv own role-that of a breezy,
radio-journalist type of cores
pondent, who dramatizeS himself
by wearing his perfectly good
arm in a sling-and I am happy
to be acting again with Jack
Holt. He is one of my best
friends, and he is also one of the
pest actors in the business"

long before they had the entire
story out of her.
Il had to get some money"
she soobed. Il really had to.
I'm giving you my real name
and if you'll investigate my
story, you'll find out that it's
absolutely true.
Il live in N, Conn,
with my husband. We have a
small house up there and, until
recently, we've just about been
able to make both ends meet.
"A few weeks ago. my hus.
band became sick. He was so
sick, really, that I had to get
a nurse for him. She helped
him a lot but she had to be
paid, and we didn't have the
money to give her. A few days
ago, she began to get nasty
about it. Said she'd have to
get her money right away or
she'd take steps to put us both
in Jail.
We'll, what was I to do?
had to get money somewhere,
and I had to get it in a hurry.
I have some relatives here in
Chicago and I figured that if
I appealed to them in person.
they might help me out. 1
went to New York, got a break
in being able to travel out here
by machine-and here am.
She was Desperate
"On the way out, I did a lot
of thinking. Suppose my rela-
tiVeS gave me the turn down?
I only had a few cents in my
bag and I'd then be worse off
than ever. I wouldn't have
enough money to get back to
my home, and I wouldn't have
the money to give the nurse
even if I did get back somehow.
The more I thought the
more desperate I became. I
had to have some money in
case I couldn't connect with my
relatives and, in my crazy
state of mind, thought of the
driver of the car.
I've never done a wrong
thing l. all my life. I didn't
want to do this, but I couldn't
help myself. 1 thought the
driver would be so frightened
that he'd give me the $50 18th
out any trouble. I didn't know
how stupid I was being.
THE rest you know. And 1
swear to God that the story
I've told you is the absolute
truth. You're going to let me
go, aren't you?"
No, they weren't going to let
her go. The driver insisted
upon pressing charges and, un-
der the circumstances, you
couldn't blame him much.
More, there was an excellent
chance that her entire story
was a complete lie and that
she had been a racketeer for
some time

All Those People
Going to Movies

During one hour each night
over 100000 people all set out
for the same destination.
The destination is the movies
The hour is from 7:30 to $50
D. m. The figures are from the
United States Department of
Commerce.
The Department of Commerce
figures revealed that 9O,000,00O
people attend movie theaterS in
the U. S. each week, with over 80
per cent of all adult admissions
purchased between 7:30 and $3.50
p. m. World attendance at movies
each week is estimated at 1885,
100000.

Story Was Correct

So, pending an investigation,
the damsel was placed behind
the bars. Wires were exchanged
between the local detectives and
the chief of police in the Con-
necticut town. And the de-
tectives learned that the wom-
ans story was quite correct
in every detail.
They learned something more,
too-and when they told the
woman about it, she almost
went insane. 1t seems that,
two days after she left for New
York, her husband had sold
their little home and had
eloped for parts unknown with
the squaWking nurse!

"Laconigrams"

Lackaye was the author of a
little book of "Laconigrams" en-,
bodying his philosophy. A few
of these follow:
THE shadOw you see most
often in life is your own"
The man who wears dia-
mOndS the size of lima beans
is not always a bOOkmaker.
Sometimes he's an alderman"
"NO man quite understands
wOmen-nO matter how young
he is"
"They never name a cigar
after an actor who doesn't
draw"
"SOme of our best actions

if people knew why we had

"The happiness acquired by
the 'abSinthe treatment is not
Of the lasting Sort"
The Washington times., 1932-08-23
"WorId Figures
Little Known
To Public

The private life of the Holly
wood star is of vital interest to
the picture fan. Periodicals de-
voted chiefly to stories of what
the actors and actresses eat and
drink. the cost and appointment
of their homes, their clothes and
their preferences in books and
plays, run to large Circulatiors.
The stories in which film fol
lowers are most interested are in
the life stories of their idols
which describe how they won
their fame and from what ante
CedentS they rose.
But there are screen perSonali-
ties unquestionably more impor-
tant than the players of fictitious
movie roles. These have, in many
instances, lived lives more pic
tureSque and stirring than those
of most of the artists of the
cinema. The public knows little
of the intimate doingS and tastes
of these persons because their
public careers have dWarfed their
private lives.
People in general do not know
that Adolph Hitler. who is seen
in The Cry of the World" a
picture presented by Fox at the
Metropolitan, while he now leads
an organization of $4,000 900 Ger
mans, giant army, is not even
German born. He is an Austrian.
Another strange coincidence is
that he repudiates the doctrines
of Karl Marx and yet asserts that
he is a Socialist.
Benito MuSsoIini, sole arbiter
of the destiny of Italy, first
class power, was only IL years
ago the almost unknown editor
of bankrupt Socialist news
paper. His name now appears
daily in the press of the world.
An uncroWned monarch, he was
the son of poor blacksmith,
and himself a manual worker.
Although he transacts the busi-
ness of a whole nation he en-
ploys but one secretary and an
sWers his own phone. Although
the man-of action type repre-
Sented by the Italian premier is
usually imagined as favoring the
rare beefsteak diet with plenty
of gravy and potatoes, II Duce
eats no lunch at all and milk
and fruit figue as the principal
items of diet.
To the pres generation,
George Bernard Shaw is listened
to as one of the most serious
and thoughtful commentators on
world affairs. Not many years
back he was regarded by the
majority as an irresponsible CO.
median whose purpose was only
to shock. Today, the worlds
leading dramatist, he could not
sell play till he was 40 years
old, although he had been writ
ing for over 10 years. While all
are familiar with Shaw's vege-
tarianism, few know that in his
younger days he was an amateur
boxer.
When Mahatma Gandhi began
his campaign of passive resistance
to British rule in India he was
hailed as a new world figure and
his method a new type of war
fare. Gandhi, as a matter of
fact, had used passive resistance
on behalf of Indians against the
British 20 years previously.
Strangely, he was employed not
in India but in South Africa, in
the interests of the Indian mine
workers. Gandhi, while a strict
high cast Brahmin Indian, has
taken his passive resistance theory
from the doctrines of Christ, Of
which he is a profound and rev.
erent student.
All these perSonages, and others
equally interesting, play active
parts in The Cry of the World"
The Washington times., 1932-08-23

The drivers of these cars are
all expert chautfeurs and are
paid at the rate of so much a
trip. When they arrive at their
destination, the car is driven to
the local office and remains
there until they have sufficient
passengers for the return trip
to New York.
All of which leads us to a
sunny morning few weeks
ago when a rather attractive
young woman walked into the
offices of the bureau. She
asked for the manager. And
it was to him that she unfolded
her sad story
Her mother, she said, was
dying in Chicago. She had to
get there as quickly as pos
sible, but she could not afford
to pay the railroad or the bus
fare. Al she had was $40.

Quit His lob

Nick Lucas, at the Earle this
week, was born of Italian parents
in Newark, N. j.; learned to play
a mandolin while going to school,
took job in a tile factory, and
quit to take a job in a cabaret
band. Then he became soloist on
a radio program.

They Like Lucas

of the younger generation.

She Had Only $40

so I come to you," was her
plea. Il thought that, if I
were lucky enough, 1 might
be able to squeeze into one of
your cars that is leaving for
Chicago. If you have room
for me and will let me go for
$40, you'll make me the hap
piest woman in the world.
1T would really be a great
charity. Do you think you can
do anything for me?"
A few minutes more of this
and the manager was highly
impressed.
You're in luck, young lady"
he said. 1--WE have a car leav-
ing in a few hours and it Just
so happens that there is room
for you We don't do this very
often and I certainly will never
make a habit of it. But 1 don't
see that it will harm us to
make an exception in your
case.

leave in two hours. And I
hope you find your mother
much improved"
The young lady was more
than grateful. She seemed on
the verge of tears.
Il don't know how to thank
you" she cried. You're more
than wonderful to me. /"
The manager waved a hand.
"It's all right, madam" he
said. Forget it,"
In due time, the machine ar
rived in Chicago. The other pas.
sengers alighted at a certain ad.
