BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS.


1HERE are two women in the Cap
ital today who have extraord-
mary yoles-the wife Of the Vice
i President and the wife of the
Speaker of the House. Each
runs her husbands office, and each
would rather talk about her husband
than herself. Yet here the similarity
ends, for their personalities and meth
DDS are very dissimilar.
Mrs. John N. Garner finds her job as
secretary to the Vice President much
the same as that of secretary to the
Speaker. When it came time for her
husband to assume his new duties, Mrs,
Garner, a trim. friendly little woman,
whisked her we'll trained staff from
the Speakers office to that of the Vice
President, and was ready Immediately
to continue her efficient supervision.
People still think Mr.. Garner is con-
nected with the Legislature" she said
Yesterday, "and we get so many re-
quests for jobs that l spend hours plan
ming letters and signing them. Besides,
there are hundreds of men and women
who come here"
Then she sat down and began to talk
frankly about unemployed Government
workers.
Sometimes I think I am getting a
little hard boiled, because they all tell
me they have three or four dependents
and I don't believe it can be true in
every case. After all, we are doing
what we promised in the Democratic
platform-cutting down Federal ex-
penses Also I am sure there is a
great deal Of duplication of work In
Government Offices"
Cites Sons Experience.
She gave a reason for this belief.
When my son was graduated from
college, in June. 1917, he was still too
young to get into the Army. Mr.. Gar
ner and 1 had to be here all Summer,
so Mr.. Garner hustled around to find
the boy job, because We did not want
him to be unoccupied. Finally he got
a job in the Federal Trade Commis-
sion The salary was small, but it was
work.
After he had been there a while
he came to me and said:
Mother, don't see how they accom-
plish anything. At 1890 they start get
ting ready for l o'clock lunch, and at
they begin to put their hats on SO
they can leave on the dot at 4:30!'
I'VE have always been hard work
ing family" she continued. Mr. Gar
ner and l get here at 7:30 every morn
ing and it is usually o'clock in the
evening before We get away"
Asked whether she did not have
more social duties in her position as
wife of the Vice President than when
her husband presided over the House
she laughed and said: "Mr. Garner
told Mr. Roosevelt that he would never
do his dinner eating for him and the
President leaned back and roared. MIR
Garner will not go out in the evening
unless it is an occasional and very in
formal affair. The other night we
dined at the White House and at $50
Mr.. Roosevelt looked at me and said
1t is time you took him home and put
him to bed!"
Mrs Garner explained that she kept
her contacts with her many friends
among the wives of rsembers of Con-
gress by having lunch ez tea with
them.

IRE of getting to know the Senate

on August IT, 1901, its name changed to
that CT the Lyceum Theater, and it was upon
this last date that the Avenue entrance was
used for the frs time.
IN RECENT years tile old playhouse has
been known as the President Theater and.
in 1923, thu Government acquired the site from
the Columbia Amusement Co. for $3.50 600,
which, The Star at the time said was $50.575
less than the assessed value of the property.

inally, the cost of the theater alone was $13,-
600 and the price of b-x seats 81, while seats
in the pit were IS cents. The leading actors
did not receive the four figures some of our
stars receive today. Mr.. Jefferson received
500 a week, while the other actors were paid
from So to $l8 week. The theater was rented
at $50 80 a night, and had to be paid nightly.
Many famed actors and actresses played at
the Washington Theater, at Eleventh and g

years old. Ole Bulle was then ~, having been
