Is He Genuine?

Most of the veterans who see
private Jones" at the Rialto The
ater will tell you that nearly every
military outfit in Uncle Sans war
army held such rebellious fellow.
I mean a chap who resented being
drafted, who was unruly, pug
nacious, surly, belligerent, thor
oughly nasty. The army broke the
majority by severe discipline but
the exceptions remained social
rebels to the last.
I knew such a soldier who went
to Camp Meade with the first of
the District of Columbia draftees.
He entered the army camp as q
hospital patient for two husky
M. P.'s poked his head right
through train window glass
after leaving Union Station. At
Camp Meade his entire time was
spent in dungarees on the dirt pile
or in the guard house. In France
he was A. w. o. L and eventually
a deserter, wound up in Leaven-
worth prison. His return to
civilian life in Georgetown found
him soon in the hands of the local
police for a murderous assault.
So. "Private Jones" is not
overdrawn enough to be COM
plete exaggeration. He does
mouth many arguments against
war that have cropped up since
the bonus became an issue. But
as Lee Tracy plays him this
soldier is not a good case for the
conscientious objector. He is
merely a good symbol of the
resentment which many of the
draftees felt but for selfish rea-
sons felt it wise to conceal. If
there is any appeal for the char
acter it is because of his courage
in maintaining his opinions,
making a one-man protest against
overwhelming odds.

The Supreme Actor

1t strikes me that George
Arliss is better stepped in the
art of acting than anybody now
on the Hollywood payrolls. BY
that 1 mean he is the supreme
technician of the studios-knows
more about timing of lines, the
proper infection, the correct
gesture. the exact diction. the
creation and sustaining Of a
mood, the value of silence and
dialogue, the command of a
scene and the placing of char

David BeEasco' S
Warn Tribute
Cherished

No tribute to L. Stoddard Tay-
lor inspired by the plan to honor
the veteran manager with a
testimonial performance of
Counsellor at the Ma
tional on Monday night is more
treasured than the message of
the late la m n t d David
Belasco, which was written
several years ago.
Mr.. BelaSco was active in the
direction of the theater which
bears his name and owned a
substantial equity in it up to
his death. The renowned pro-
ducer wrote, on the occasion of
Mr.. Taylor's twenty-fifth ami
versary as manager:
November 6, 1880.
'Dear StOddard Taylor:
"When you reminded me, the
other evening, that 26 years
have passed since the BeIascO
Theater in Washington was first
established, 1 was surprised.
Time passes SO swiftly and we
so easily lose sight of the years.
"The manner in which you
have conducted the theater and
the high standard which have
been such prominent features
of your management are ad-
mirable. 1 have always been
keenly conscious of your ability.
"Of the many theaterS with
which I have had a close con-
tact, can think of none that in
any way SurpaSSeS our beloved
BelaScO in Washington. You
have made it outstanding, not
alone in the estimation of the
companies playing the house,
but in the regard of your pub
lie.
II have heard so much in
praise of your efficiency, your
courtesy and your kindly but
buSineSSlike methods, that am
proud to have my name con-
nected with the theater of
which Stoddard Taylor is man.

high place in my affection and

ter of a century Of successful
management.

All Nations Alike
AS I wrote in one column
during the early part of this
trip, 1 left New York with no
axes to grind. All nations
looked alike to me, and 1 have
always endeavored to meet
every man on common plane
without regard to creed or
color.
This policy 7 have attempted
to carry out as thoroughly as
possible. And it is this policy
that I will attempt to carry
out for the balance of my trip.
Roughly, my schedule will take
me now through Egypt and up
into Palestine. From Palestine
I'll double back again, go
through the Suez Canal, stop
q short while in French Soma
liland and then hit out for
Bombay, India. After that

you cross it, the bluer you get.
Q.-Where did you find the
best night clubs and the best
dance orchestra?
A.-Paris.
Q.-Where did you find the
prettiest women that Europe
had to offer?
A.-Back in the last ziegfeld
Follies.
Q.-Where do you think the
next great war will have it's
beginning?

news for the girls with womanly
curves.
Lillian Tashman, one of Hol-

yesterday took verbal sock at
the pants for women craze which
Marlene Dietrich has started in
the last few months.
"FOr the first time in our

women have chance to be
entirely feminine. We can wear
all the frillS we want to. We
can dress our hair different
ways. Anything that IS beau
tiful is fashionable.
''TO my mind pants on women
are not beautiful. Not even
when they are extensively tail
Ored, and these cheap ready
made trousers are simply awful.
I'd hate to have a style vogue
like that on my conscience"
The blonde star admits that
the fad is taking a strong hold.

designer. He said he hated to
feature the trousers, but that
he was tired of having some of
his best customers go TO tail
Ors for their clothes"
I asked Lillian if She believes
the new style will last long.
"No, she said. ct will take
on because Miss Dietrich has
had a great deal Of publicity on
it and because people will dress
like the stars do. But trousers
are too unbecOming to the av-

Initiation, if, as and when it
comes. probably won't take the
form of printing press money. If
the Administration has its way, it
will be done through an extension
of bank credit. According to the
U. S. Daily the policy in a nutshell,
is hat the government is going to
see the banks through and the
banks in turn must put out credit
in a much bigger way than they
have been.
Banks are filled with idle money
but the banks position is a diff
cult one-they've got to put
money where they can get it when
needed, and most applications for
loans are based on projects which,
from that standpoint, are pretty
dubious and not acceptable to the
inflexible banking laws and regula-
tons which require liquid collat-
eral rather than character ard past
business standing as uhe h"si. Of a

that they are rendering to the state
every penny due from this source,

that the reason Fhe tax is produc-
