BOILING WATER METHOD
REJUVENATES FLOWERS
Solution With Aspirin Suggested for
Dropping Blooms.

To make fading roses last longer,
try clipping the stems and immers-
ing quickly in boiling water. Hold in
the water for about ten seconds. Re-
move, place in fresh cold water, and
the dropping flowers soon will re-
vive. This applies to many flowers,
such as carnations and tulips.
Often wilted flowers will revive
if placed in fresh water in which
an aspirin tablet has been dissolved.
And if this treatment is given i'm
mediately upon receiving flowers
from the florist. it will preserve
them.

Harold Lloyd to
Play Mature
Roles
BY HARRISON CARROLL,
Copyright, 1898, King Features
syndicatel

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Jan. 5.
In his next picture, Harold Lloyd
may modify the adolescent char
acter he has portrayed so long,
and attempt more sophisticated
comedy.
This news is brought back from
Europe by the comedians friends
who talked with him in ST..
Moritz where he, Mildred Davis
and their three children are now
spending the holidays.
Though his European trip was
a pleasure jaunt, Harold is said
to have given a lot of thought
to his future picture activities.
Two things he has decided: Never
again to stay off the screen for
two years, and to play a char
acter of greater maturity in his
next picture.
This film, the comedian al
ready has generally outlined. He
plans to start production as soon
as possible after his return to
Hollywood next month. Harold,
of course, doesn't rush through
pictures, he'll prepare carefully,
but he is determined to have a
new comedy ready for release in
the fall.

Wesley and Band

They tell me that Wesley Eddy
will have a band with him when
he makes his next F Street ap-
pearance very soon. The former
M. C. at the Fox and Palace has
been rehearsing his new outfit,
getting booking and most i'm
portant of all, having his salary
set. It's an expensive idea, but
if it hits the way Wesley hopes
there will be the chance of WOO
ing fame over the air waves.
BY the way Jack Pepper re-
turns to the Earle stage tomor-
row. A great many of the Thir-
teenth Street regulars will be out
to give Maestro Pepper a hand.
He was master of ceremonies for
many many weeks at the. Earle
in the days when Washington
was not so keen for vaudeville or,
shall we say, in the days before
they had acquired the habit of
turning off F Street and walking
down the hill. Nowadays the
Earle has dandy habit patron
age and little Maxine Doyle as
Mistress of Ceremonies is the real
pet of these regulars.
On January 10, or the night be-
fore she begins her engagement at
the Fox Theater, Mary Garden
will sing for President Hoover and
guests at the White House.

them letters that I had received
before starting on my trip. The
passport was examined care
fully. The letters were scrutin-
lied just as thoroughly. They
held a consultation. 1t went on
for some five minutes. I began
to tire of all this nonsense. I
interrupted their conversation.
Listen, you babies. Make

about?"
They glared at me for a mo-
ment. The lieutenant shook his
head. He reached under a table
and dragged forth a huge book.
He skinned through the book,
and arriving at a certain page,
he started writing. The gen.
darme took me by the arm. But
exactly what they intended to
do I'll never know.
Enter Mr.. Smith
For at that moment Mr..
Smith stepped out from the
back of the station house. He
walked up to the desk at which
the lieutenant was waiting.
Summonipg all the French at
his command, he went into a
long grafton. He told them (aS

American on a short visit ana

war;. ,,.-. ......
He painted me as a famous
war ace. He told them that
was Lindbergh's only rival. He
told them that I, single-handed,
had probably saved France from
destruction during the war.
He described me as a scholar,
a gentleman, a millionaire, a
hero and a what-not.
The lieutenant looked up IN
disgust. Whether he was dis
guSted with the explanation or
with Mr.. Smiths French, have
no idea. He motioned to the
gendarme to release my arm.
He shut the book with a bang
and threw it across the room,
where it fell on a desk. Scowl-
ing at me, he waved his hand.
"Allez, tout suite" he cried.
The English equivalent of
that remark is BEAT it, you

Out I went, Mr.. Smith trailing
at my heels. I started running.

Eight streets. And if it hadn't

He never finished, for the

L
Fontanne as an interior decor
ator in Paris is living without
benefit of clergy with Alfred
Lunt, an impulsive young painter.
A dramatist (played by Noel
Coward, then takes her fancy.
They all are presumed to care }
much about each other that they
are frank in discussing what de-
velops as domestic triangle.
Act Two is set in London some
time later when Lynn Fontanne
has decided the dramatist is her
favorite.
For Act Three the scene shifts
to New York where Lynn Fon-
tame has married picture
dealer, But Actors Lunt and
Coward turn up and the husband
walks out.
AS Critic George Davis puts it.:
"The play has a theme which
concerns pOlyandry rather than
pOlygamy. The manner in
which it is presented says the
whole thing is fun, but true to
life among the artists, who are
SatiriZed but not cenSured.
King Solomon says one of
the three, had many wives,
and he was regarded with great
respect. So why all this fuss
because this interior decorator
played by Lynn FOntanne has
two boy friends played by Noel
Coward and Alfred Lunt?"

Unhappy Wives
Of King Are
Portrayed

Cornelia Otis Skinner presented
her last years success, The
Wives of Henry VIII" at her
matinee performance yesterday.
The audience, knowing Miss Skin
ner, came to be entertained, and
went away satisfied.
Preceding her dramatic sequence
with a group of character
sketches, Miss Skinner was first
seen as a very much Hurried
traveller on The Eve of Depar-
ture": then as an older woman in
a gondola in Venice, then as a
lady explorer giving a lecture,
next as different type in a tele-
phone booth sequence, and lastly
in THE Eve of Departure"
"The Wives of Henry VIII"
are all seen at crucial moment
in their lives, and give Miss
Skinner more diversity of char
acter to work with than does her
Empress Eugene" Catharine of
Aragon, the proud queen, was
first. Then the unfortunate Anne
Boleyn is seen on the day of her
execution. Next the lovely Jane
Seymour, followed by Ann of
CleveS, the ugly German girl.
Katheryn Howard, who was ex-
ecuted. and Katherine Parr, who
sat at her husbands deathbed
are concluding characters.
Each cameo was given with
penetrating understanding and
completeness of Characterization.
From first to last, these sketches
presented a comprehensive and
full personality, skillfully pre-
sented for which Miss Skinner is
renowned.

repeated Friday night. On other
