WALLACE PLAY TONIGHT
Their Last Bows

Beloved John Drew died on a
farewell tour with "Trelawney Of
the Wells" and 1t is Actor Joe
kerriRan, q member Of the all
star troupe, who recently related
that John Drew had q premOni-
tiOn Of approaching death. His
last line in the play was SHOW ',
final performance the actor added
to the line, "My wooden box"
The venerable Theodore Hardy
who is q stOrehOuse of memories
and data on such things advises
the department that coincidence
often has added grim signifi-
canoe to last lines spoken by
famous actors before they passed
from this mortal scene. For in
stance:
Sir Henry Irving: last Line

tered his hotel after performance.
Probably the most dramatic
passing was the Eighteenth Gen.

on the stage. He was acting in
Shakespeare's Measure for Meas

speech: "ReasOn thus with life.
If / do lose thee lose thing
that none but fools would keep"
His hand went to his heart, he
gasped cOnvulsively and died right
on the stage. The audience thought
1t was part Of the play.
John Palmer was the original

final performance was in KOtz-

was this line: "There is another

livered it he crumpled on the
stage. Carried off by fellow actors
he died in the wings. A heart
stroke.
Sir Edmund Kean was play

is the star at the Howard this
week. Well-known to air audiences,
this marks his first Washington

The sketch in which he is seen
is an entertaining and highly
amusing character study, and de-
lighted the T Street Theater

Henry's popularity is we'll demon

Student Body Head
In De Mile Movie

OF all directors in Hollywood,
Cecil B. De Mile stands out as
one who strives most consistently
for realism in his pictures. His
new picture, This Day and
Age" is at Loew's Fox Theater.
An added touch Of realism was
attained in This Day and Age"
when he secured Horace Hahn,
student body president of the
Los Angeles high schools, to play
the student body president role
the picture called for.
De Mile discovered Hahn dur
ing the Boys Week celebration
when the youth took over the

June Croll, the organizer of the Ma

Lawrence: Three months ago, the
same week as the Amoskeag strike in
Manchester, N. H, which is nearby,
the mill owners, seeing the threat Of
a strike in Lawrence, gave 121a
per cent increase in wages. At the
same time the sides attended by a
spinner were increased from to 10.
AS one woman spinner said, 1--WE
make little more, about 81 week,
but we have to give it to the doctor,
we're speeded up So The Spinners
sent in a committee to demand the
workers be put back on four sides.

in the Wood and Pacific Mills were
told as soon as the code came in
to produce enough every week to
make their $14 a week piece work

to approach the workers. A Mexi-
can told of the terrible conditions
Of the Mexicans. A Japanese worker
told Of the filling of the ranks of
the Japanese with stool-pigeons.
The C.A.WIU. adopted code for
the agricultural workers. 1t called
for "a 40 cents an hour scale for all
unsk!lled workers in canneries, fields

negotiations between union and
bosses to be finally decided on by
workers; hour day and time and
half for overtime; abolition of
