BARMEN TURN
TOWARD HOME

ton rush to the United States has
started as prohibition ends and
all the immigrants are bartenders.
The return of real liquor to
America nowhere has been ac-
claimed more joyously than in
bar-tending circles in Europe,
especially amongst expatrlate
American barmen.
When prohibition first was en-
forced, worthless barhands began
a big migration to the wet lands.
Hundreds crossed the Atlantic and
donned their white aprons again
in the flash saloons of Europe.
In Paris there are scores OF
American barkepers within q
| stones throw of the Place dc
rOpera alone. Others can be found
in any of the big ports.
They have not seen their native
land for decade and a half. For
years they have longed for repeal
and, with trade quiet in the re-
sorts of Europe, they are going
back in the belief that a new era
of drinking has begun at home.
Famed European bars are also
securing options to open branches
in the United States. Harry Nc
Elhone, known to thousands Of
Americans, said he will open a
New York Bar.
1--WE have been waiting for re-
peal" he said. at means that
drinking becomes an honest busi-
ness. There's money to be made by
reputable saloons not connected
with rackets, or rum-running."

Radio Notes

John White, the lonesome cowboy
of the Death Valley Days series
heard on the National Broadcasting
company networks, came back
from his 7000-mile automobile trek
with a swell vacation behind him
but little success in rounding up
new cowboy songs. John and Mrs
White went first to Death Valley,
then to his brothers N-Bar-V
ranch, "Mothe Vista" at Wicken-
berg, Ariz., and finally to tht
Grand Canyon. The only cowboy
song he heard anywhere was "The
Last Roundup, and he heard that
everywhere, and the only books of
cowboy songs he found on sale were
htoe compiled by Carson Robson
and John White himself.
If Don Bestor, NBC band leader,
had followed his earliest musical
bent he would have been a pipe
organ player instead of an orches-
ira director. At the age of nine he
was adept enough at the keyboard
to win praise of his music teacher.
But at 16 he ran away from home
to become orchestra director for
a travelling musical show.
Four-legged roles have been
added to Arthur Jacobson's roper
toire. Last week on NBC, in Irene
Rich's Behind the Screen program,
the script called for the bray of
a donkey and Arthur brayed. The
other day in the Eye of Montezuma,
new chidlren's program, he had to
double for horse, so he whinnied.
But if they cast him as a mule he
swears he'll kick.
Joan Winters of the Widow and
Angel comedy sketch heard over
NBC, isn't OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
about brogging. When she forgets,
she rectifies the error by knocking
on wood. She also spends lot of
money on fortune tellers, though
she protests she doesn't believe in
them.
John Kuhn, Sioux Indian staff
musician at the Chicago NBC stu
dos has made several improve
ments on his tuba. The valves have
been adjusted so that notes in a
run can be fringed quicker and
the weight of the instrument has
been cut in half. John says the lat
ter improvement was made solely to
get the last laugh at a number OF
piccolo players.

Hollywood, Nov IA = (U.PO -
The cost of art is stirring up a
lively fight in Municipal Judge Leo
Aggeler's court these days. /.
Artists are haggling over the
price Barbara Stanwyck and her
husband, Frank Fay, should pay
John Decker for a painting he did
ofg their baby son. Decker asks
$1,000 and introduced colleagues
to prove the painting was cheap at
the price. Several artists testifying
for the film couple characterized II
as a "daub." But most cutting OF
all testimony was delivered by one
of Decker's own friends.
The picture, he said, was worth
just $3.50. of which, he added eau
stically, the frame is worth SO.
Veteran big league baseball
fans may not be able to picture
Chief Meyers as a movie actor. Yet
he will be given a tryout. One OF
the major studios signed the form
err battery-mate of Christy Mat
hewson for a minor role.
Talk of Barry Cooper and San
dra Shaw becoming man and wife
is becoming more substantial. Be-
fore leaving for San Francisco last
night, the actress exhibited a
sparkling diamond. Cooper leaves
tonight for New York where he
will be Joined later by Miss Shaw.

estranged wife to secure decree

George Bernard Shaw has sur
rendered his resistance to Holly
wood after all these years. It was
learned to-day he had agreed to
let local studio film hhs "The

PAGEANT |SSTAGED
BY CAPITAL WOMAN
Baltimore Sees Play Based
on Washington's Praise
of Slave Girl.

The phyllis Wheatley Pageant"
written by a former member Of the
District Board Of Education and staged
here last November with the help Of
the District Bicentennial Commission,
was presented last night in the Booker
T. Washington Junior High School, Bal
timore.
The pageant, which will be presented
at the Baltimore school again tonight,
is based on the life of colored slave
girl, whose poetry-highly praised by
George Washjngton-was published IN
England in 1773. Its purpose, accord
ing to the author, Mrs. Mary Church
Terrell, of 1915 S street, one Of
the first two women to serve on the
Board of Education here, Is to teach
colored children to revere the first
President.
Some colored people hold against
Washington the fact he was a slave
owner" Mrs. Terrell explained yester-
day "As a matter of fact, he was not
in favor OF slavery, and wish to make
that point clear In writing the slave
girl note praising her poetry, he ad-
dressed her as Miss an altogether un-
heard-of thing in those days"
Mrs. Terrell, who was member OF
the Board of Education for II years,
said that in writing the pageant, she
also was moved by desire ito increase
the colored youths respect for his Afri-
can ancestors by showing the native
ability and the brilliant literary sue
cess Of an African girl stolen from her
native land and sold as slave in this
country when she was but small
child"
The pageant was highly praised by
school authorities and others at the
time 1t was presented here.
