MARATHON DANCE
INJUNCTION ISSUED
Must Post Indem-
nifty Bond Against Loss
of Profits.

The marathon dance at the Wash
ington Auditorium died legal death
today when Justice Oscar R. Luhring
issued an Injunction forbidding the con-
tinuance of the exhibition.
The courts order, however, will not
become effective until the All States
Hotel, plaintiffs in the case. have posted
an indemnity bond of $4,000 cash or
$4,000 surety.
The Injunction was sought in District
Supreme Court on the contention the
dance constituted a private nuisance.
Compromise Made.
E1wood Seal, counsel for the Mara
-thon Exhibition Co, Inc, promoters of
the dance, asked for an indemniflca-
tion of $4,000. Attorney Lucien Van
doren, appearing for the plaintiffs, Of
fered to post bond of $4,000 cash.
He said the hotel was comparatively
owned by Government employees and
that it would be extremely difficult for
them to post larger security. The
compromise figure was agreed upon at
consultation in Justice Luhring's
chambers.
The purpose of the bond is to pro-
tect the promoters of the dance against
loss II the Court of Appeals should hold
the Injunction improperly put an end
to their business.
Profits Declared $4,000.
1t was testified by an official of the
corporation that the profits from the
dance average about 1878 a day, and
that this figure probably would increase
as the contest neared its closing date
of January 25. The dance started
November "a. The total net profit
from the dance last year, it was testi-
fed, was about $4,000.

Id ONCAY
Miss Skinner is her usual radiant
and delightful self in these short
sketches which precede the main
part of the entertainment" This
year she has let the wives of Henry
VIII play hockey for while ard
except for two brief excursions into
their midst on Wednesday afternoon
and Friday night, she deVotes herself
to picturesque and moving trea-
tise on that erstwhile grand old lady
of France, the Empress Eugene.
In this dramatic sequence Miss
Skinner is beautiful. young, old,
gay, sad and always convincing. She
lends herself so attractively to a
wardrobe that is rich and regal and
is SO pleasing to the eye with a
crown on her head as we'll as In
red wig, that If she isn't an Al
imitation of Eugene she Is at any
rate a handsome compliment to the
lady herself and to the Bonaparte
family in general.
Miss Skinner plays Eugene with
great dignity and charm. She has
written this solo drama" with lit
erary skill and with sure knowledge
of the original. But for small bit
at the very beginning, which strays
briefly from the true arrow OF his
tory, she clings becomingly to the
straight and the narrow and never
deviates from what the story books
have told u happened to this cou-
rageous and tragic Empress.
Eugenie riding in the Bois in
Paris, before her marriage to the
Emperor; Eugene in the gardens Of
Compeigne, watching with bitterness
and pride the beginning of those
escapades which, the Emperor in
dulged in; Eugene plotting for the
rule of her young son-and Eugene
losing that son as well as her crown
and her palaces and her Emperor
and her country-and finally in the
late 1898 an old, feeble lady, talk
ing to young American girl whom
she feeds tea instead Of cocktails
this is q sketchy sketch of a Sc
quence which the public that Is loyal
to the theater and loyal to an art
which is an art, will not want to
miss.
Miss Skinner is an actress, a poet
and philosopher all at once She
creates and she recreates and she
presents her all to audiences which
each season become fonder Of her.
There Is no question that <she has
cornered a corner in the theater
which Is sure and which is certain.
She may not be great actress, but
she is better than good one.

Georgia Peaches"
Is a Lively Show.

GEORGIA SOTHERN and her
- Georgia Peaches" start the New
Year of with a lively show at the
Gayety this week.
Miss Sothern. dynamic soubrette,
all but steals the show from the
dancing artist, Carmen, and pretty
Betty DuVal Georgia gives the au-
dience all that they desire in the
way of song and dance, especially
the latter. In her opening number,
in fact, she all but stopped the show
with her cyclonic dances.
Carmen again exhibits some rare
dancing, and this, plus her good
singing, brings her out for more than
one encore Her Spanish numbers
are very popular with the boys down
front.
Miss DuVal scores with pleasing
voice, and adds to an exceptionally
good trio. These three young wom-
en- are the pick of burlesque and are
worth seeing more than once.
Joy st. Clair and Kay Cassidy
bring out all there is in feminine
appeal and make their presence
known in big way. Ruth Bradley,
the prima dinna, continues to capti-
Vate the audience with her vocal
orations and also adds to the show
by her appearance in almost every
scene
The three comedy aces, Raynor,
Davis and Hickman, are again pres
ent with their funny gags, ridiculous
costumes and sometimes hilarious
mirth. Raynor seems to carry the
brunt of the comedy, although Davis
and Hickman all but take away some
of the scenes. The comics are ably
assisted by Ray Parsons and George
kinnear, the former also contribut-
ing some very nice singing, and
George doing the straight work
The chorus is rather listless and
detractS somewhat from an otherwise
entertaining evening. R. B. H.

MRS. MOSKOW|Tz
DIES AFTER FALL
Chief Strategist of Former
Gov. Smith Heart At
tack Victim.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Alfred E
Smith was grieved today by the death
OF Mrs. Belle Lindner Moskowitz, his
adviser and chief strategist during his
ascendancy in the Democratic party.
Il regard the passing of Mrs. Mos
kowitz as disaster" he said. When
he heard the news of her death he i'm
mediately hurried to New York from
Albany, where he had attended Gov
Lehman's Inauguration.
Mrs. Moskowitz, who was one of the
most powerful women in politics and
statecraft, died yesterday of a heart
attack that followed a fall in which her
right arm and left wrist were broken.
She was 55 years old.
Funeral Tomorrow.
A great gathering of leaders in civic
and social life is expected to attend the
funeral services, which are to be held
at II am. tomorrow at the Temple
Emanuel,
1t was while Mrs. Moskowitz was on
her way to conference with Smith
December Is that she suffered the in
juries that led to her death. She
tripped and fell down the steps in front
of her home.
With her at her death were her hus-
band, Dr.. Henry Moskowitz, former
civil service commissioner and co-author
Of Smith biography, up From the
City Streets" and a son by former
marriage, Josef Israels. Another son
and daughter survive.
Daughter of a Harlem matchmaker,
Mrs. MoskowitZ had become well known
as social worker and educator before
she first met Smith, in 1918. During
his first campaign for Governor In that
year she invited him to speak before
the Women's University Club.
Invited to Address Women.
He accepted reluctantly, expressing
diSpleasure at speaking before "high-
brow women's club" The quiet
voiced, little woman talked to him, ad-
vising him to speak and to handle it
without gloves" a phrase she often
repeated later.
Most campaigners, she said, spoke
only perfmctorily before women's or
ganiZations, thereby conveying the mis-
taken impression they had no hign
opinion of women's understanding
Smith followed her advice, and the
speech was said to have been one Of
his best.
AS secretary of Smiths Reconstruc-
ton Commission she developed an in
tensive program for the State, stressing
housing, health, food and markets.
Throughout his five State campaigns,
she was Smiths counselor and political
associate, attending to minute details of
strategy.
Consult on Policies.
It was known that he often consulted
her on policies, and that she frequently
assisted him in preparing speeches and
public papers.
Once, when she was asked for her
opinion about women in politics, she
said:
Women are not the intellectual
equals Of men. Their intuitive sense Is
the biggest thing they bring to politics.
Combined with the thinking ability of
men. this makes splendid team"
Long before the 1923 campaign, Mrs.
Moskowitz, intent on seeing Smith in
the White House, kept steady stream
OF political literature issuing from her
tiny Office. During the campaign she
was director of publicity of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. After de-
feat came, she became president of
Publicity Associates.
