Claimed Her

A Hollywood story to the effect
that Neysa NourSe, aged IA, has
obtained judicial approval in
signing a long term movie con-
tract has, Of course, its general
interest to film fans, but to Wash
ingtonians who know her as Jim
Nourse's pretty daughter it will
have a much keener bearing, for
almost everybody in Washington
knows Jim and a good many will
memember the charming child
who visited his office so fire.
quently.
James R. Nourse, to give him his
full title. was for many years an
outstanding newspaper man in
Washington. among the impor-
tant positions he held here being
that of manager of the Wash
ington bureau of Universal Ser
vice. Some years ago he returned
to the Pacific Coast, where he
had previously worked, and he is
now editor of the San Francisco
Examiner.
Little Neysa, who has grown
into an attractive young lady of
ID years, has been living in Los
Angeles of late, in preparation
for her film career. The other
day she went before Judge H. P
Woods, in Superior Court, Los
Angeles, and went through the
formality of having her contract
with Universal Pictures approved
by the court.
Now, legally launched on her
film career. she says:
'I'm going to save my money,
study hard, and become a great
actress-see if / don't.
"My contract is for seven
years, until I'm FL, and can do
as 1 please. There won't be a
girl anywhere who is going to
work harder than I am"

SEASON PROJECT WOULD BRING BIG STARS TO CAPITAL
National Lists
Celebrities
in Revivals
BY GEORGE SPELVIN

It was about time something
happened. So something did.
In this instance, the happening
takes the form of letter from
Manager S. E. Cochran, occasional
impresario of the National Players,
and in his more routine moments,
William H. Rapley's right-hand
man in the operation of Wash
ington's "legit" playhouse.
y *
SteUe is up at Lake Hoptdcong,
NJ, for the moment, though he
expects to return here shortly.
Meanwhile, he is playing golf
daily on Joe Cooks gooty course,

been so arranged that the UerieSt
dutter can get the thrill of a hole
in-one, thanks to q scoop and tun-
mel arrangement. So don't let
SteUe brGg too much about his
golf UEen he gels back.
However, golf is not the reason,
if any, for this columns existence,
nor even the fact that Joe Cooks
new play, "HOld Your Horses" is
in rehearsal, as practically the
opening gun of the fall season.
OF that more anon. The reason
is that Steve has something to
say, and here it is.
Present outlook is that the
regular season at the National
will start a bit late, and for that
reason limited season of ere
vivals," opening on Labor Day, is
being debated. Mr.. Rapley and
others interested in the plan
think we'll of the idea, and some
excellent possibilities are in pros
pect.
Such, for instance, as Florence
Reed in "The Shanghai Gesture" ="
Jane Cowl in "CamiHe," Philip
MerivGze and Nancy Sheridan in
"CyndrG," Bert LyteH in "Crimi-
nal at LARGE" that Chjcdgo-to-
New York mirth marathon,
"Twentieth Century,; Henry Hull
in "The Man Who Came Back, J"
Corrinne Griffith and Basil Rath-
bone in "The Command to LoUe, !"
Helen Menken in "SeDenth
HedUen," MGdge Kennedy in one
of her hit ShotDS, James Kirk1Uood
in "The Fool," Leo Garlic in an
appropriate Uehicle, the CoburnS
in "The Yello1O Jacket" and Guy
Bates Post in "The M1Squerader." J"
X X
Now isn't that something?
There has been many full-Iength
season without attractions equal
to these.
Turning to the local show-shops
and their current offerings, 1t
seems to me that the Mills Broth
ers deserve a word or two of COM
ment. These lads, as the world
knows, initiate musical instru
ments because when they started
their career-and before it got so
m e t eoric- they hadn't money
enough to buy them.

Back in those days, Corbin
SHIELD, then prominent in the
local theatrical scene, ran across
them oUer in Baltimore. An Old
time UGude man, 1UitE1 gears of er-
perience in eUery department of
the theGter, he yas impressed, and
1Danted to sign them up. He nego-
tiGted lUith every available circuit,
but it 1U1S no go. They Just
couldn't see those boys at the ab-
surdly small salary they 1Oere 1Uill-
ing to take then,
X X
Now the boys ask heavy dough,
and get it. All of which proves
that there are a lot of big shots
in the theatrical business who
know precious little about it.
But probably the theatrical bust
ness isn't unique in that respect.

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 1. - The New York Yankees yesterday cut down the Washington Senators American League lead by beating the Senators in the final contest of their four game series with a score of 13 to g. The game was played before 22,000 fans.
 This gave the Yankees an even break in the series as each took two games.
 It also gave the Yankees five wins and seven defeats in combats with the Senators this season.
 Lefty Gomez met with difficult ties in the opening frame when the Senators scored three runs.
 Babe Ruth and Frank Crosetti headed the Yankee onslaught with four hits each in five times at bat, Ruth made a triple, two doubles and cinele while CrOssetti con- nected for four singles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. - Steady selling and the lack of demand brought stocks down from one to more than 10 points in a dull session of trading yesterday.

 The break was regarded as nor mai secondary reaction. It had been anticipated and hence long trad CTS held aloof and the short traders sold.

CANDALAN WHEAT
 CROP BE MUCH
 UNDER ESTIMATES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1. - Prospects of a Canadian wheat crop smaller than 350,0OO,OOO to 100000, GOO bushels estimated by the U. s. government observers about Q. month ago are now indicated.
 The of3i,ial Canadian estimate of July was for a yield of 338,000,00G bushels, but private estimates based lon continued unfavorable weather point to a harvest some 40,000,0O0 to 5O,OOO,OOO bushels under the July figure.
 With a carryover of about 150,- 100000 bushels added to the official estimate of 338,CO0,OO0, the total Canadian supply this year would be 498, 100000 bushels as compared with 559,OOO,OOO bushels last year. A furthur reduction of 5O,0O0,000 would bring the supply approxi-
 mately 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels under that of 1882.
 This prospect, together with the short crop in te United States, crop conditions in the southern hemi- sphere less favorable than a year ago and an indicated European pro duction about the same, tends to offset the burden of a world wheat surplus sufficient to supply needs for a year or more.
 Experts say that the effect of Ca ,nadian prospects on United States markets is difficult to measure in view of overshadoWing domestic de- velopments contributing to prevail ing high wheat prices.
