me he probably will sign again
with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer before
he leaves for Europe this month.
Louis B. Mayer has spared no
pains to line up good stories for
the Mexican star. From Univer-
sal, he bought Laughing Boy"
which Ramon always has wanted
to make. From Jerome Kern and
Sigmund Romberg, he has just
purchased "The Cat. and the Fid-

American Operettas, and finally
he offers to let Ramon take a
company to Mexico to direct and
star in "The Sad Indian"
The directoria1 opportunity is
a big inducement for the Mexican
star has long cherished ambi-
tionS in this direction.
Ramon's European concert work
will be informal half hours, some
thing on the order of the prewar
continental vaudeville. Accord
ing to the star, Bob Richie has
practically set his Paris appear
ance, but will sign nothing until
Ramon'S arrival.
Quite an encourage will accom-

Tom Mix Steals Show

Tom Mix and his horse, King,
have been stealing the show
from the Hollywood stars on the
Forty Second Street special. In
every town where the plush-lined
Pullman has stopped the throngs
have yelled for the cowboy and
his prancing steed.
This is quite surprising for
Tom Mix has been a circus head
liner with only infrequent ap-
pearances on the screen. The
horse operas in which Tom Mix
appeared are supposed to be
hopelessly old fashioned for first
run theaters and generally have
been. played by the honky tonkS
and dime movie houses in the
town territory.
Nevertheless the kids know
what they like and the kids have
yelled on this cross-country trip
for Tom Mix in his white suit
and ten-gallon hat with his trick
horse. The demonstrations have
opened the eyes of Warner Bros.
executives who anticipated that
the eye-filling ingenues and
pretty stars would monopolize
crowd attention. If Washington
lives up to the rest of the country
it will be Cowboy Mix who will
command the most attention in
that Pennsylvania Avenue parade
of the Hollywood nobility.

A Questionable Line

That "Son of a so and So" line
in "Counsellor-at-Law" remains a
controversial point in the Elmer
Rice play. Quite a few think it
is unnecessarily shocking and a
detriment to we'll written drama.
It was enough to keep the Elmer
Rice production off the recon-
mended Catholic White List, a
New York endorsement that helps
out at the box office.
Personally I think the play
could get along just as we'll with
out it. Those who champion the
frankness say that it is an in.
offensive tag line as spoken. I
disagree. Bad taste is not a mat
ter of infection or emphasis.
Incidentally the District at
torney made '"The Front Page"
delete its similar tag line after
the opening performance. So the
situation censorial in Washington
resolves itself into the fact that
when a city editor says it, it is

One Act Winners

I served as chairman of the
judges in the finals Of the Com
munity Center'S one act play
tournament at Mckinley High
Auditorium last night and thor,
oughly enjoyed the evening. al
though the tabloid sessions in
the dramatic art did not attain
the high average Of previous
tournaments.
First prize went to the Troupers
of East washington for bur
lesque melodrama, "Wolf at the
Door" This was a humorous and
extravagant distortion of old 10,
20 and 30 dreadfulS. Well acted
and kept in it's mood of gaslight
hiStrionicS by Virginia Barrett,
Ted Tenley and Edward Fin
layson. it received 13 of pos
sible Is points in the critical
ratings.
My personal choice for first
honors went to the winner of the
second prize, the religious drama
committee of the Washington
Federation of Churches for THE
Betrayal" This was so skillfully
acted and directed, well costumed
and lighted, only the poor projec-
ton 2of its tableau finale kept it
from higher consideration.
.sThe Girl" offered by the
Southeast Community Players,
might have scored better but for
such illusion destroyerS as pink
whisky and a stage millionaire
who looked as though he might
have slept in his clothes.
The entry Of the st. James
Players, "The Love Pirate" was
farce-comedy so unevenly paced
and poorly directed it failed to
get a single ballot.

the shapeless pit that had been
gun emplacement. Another
was left where he was because
he couldn't be taken out whole.
And four unScathed survivors
were tenderly carrying Johnny
toward the road.
No Aid Needed
The road offered the only bit
of level earth for Johnny's
deathbed. He was mumbling in
a half-conscious way when they
put him down and everybody
knew it would no use to carry
him toward first aid.
There was the skyline Of the
hill crest less than a hundred
yards away and, behind it some
gorgeous salmon pink reflected
from a perfect sunset to the
left. A marching group Of men
came over the crest, ink-black
against the lucent evening sky.
They seemed about 20. Behind
them bobbed the spear points of
the bayonets of the guard.
Just then Johnny moaned.
We looked away from and for
got the German prisoners. Pres
entity they came back into con-
SciouSneSS in the form of
sound. They stepped in unison
and their hobnailed boots made
drumbeat on the road.
Meanwhile Johnny moaned.
One of his wounds was a head
wound. A helpless helping hand
wiped the red from his chin.
The moan went up and up and
became a kind of treble song.
Reaching treble, it began to
break. Johnny was trying to
speak.
Back to Germany
The head wound. I assume,
accounts for what happened.
The splinter that went through
his skull found and destroyed
some gray matter that was all
of Johnny since the long gone
day when he left his grand
mothers tutelage. It wiped out
13 years of the Johnny that
attended American grade school,
played baseball in an American
back lot, joined an American
regiment, kissed an American
war. And it left the baby
Johnny that once recited Ger.
mar prayers into grandma's
apron.
Now the high sing-song moan
was burbling into words-defi-
mite words. "Ya, GrosSmutter-
chen," were the first ineligible
ones-"Yes, little grandma. The
dying voices went silent for a
moment. The rhythmic tramp
of the German prisoner squad
was very near-thunderous in
a collaborating silence of other
men and nature.
Then, strong, clear, childlike
and high, Johnny Hochmuth's
voice found what it, was hunt
ing for-the long lost prayer Of
childhood:
water unse--', der du bist i'm
Himmel Dein Nam verde
geheiligt Dein Reich kom-.
me.
The thunder of marching feet
was quit close now. The Ger
man prisoners were coming
abreast Of us. AS at a signal,
the rhythmic tramp broke into
an indeterminate shuttle. Then
all competing sound ceased and
the prayer alone remained:
"Dain will geshehe auf Erden,
vie i'm Himmel. :"
We who surrounded the dying
10y glanced over the road to
the spot where there had been
the sound of marching and now
there was none. Beginning at
the front pair and travelling
like wind over wheat to the last
line a new motion animated
the close formed line. 1t was
downward. The prisoners buck
led to their knees.
So did we.

KILLS
SELF BY GAS

CHICAGO, May 20 GNsO.
Victor c. Goodridge, 40, had
toiled for years at inventions,
but with no success. Discour-
aged, he finally rigged up an
ingenious lethal gas machine that
really worked, and he commit
ted suicide with it.
Coroner'S physicians today test
ed the death machine with which
Goodridge ended his life in a
Southr Side apartment surround
ed by the numerous creations of
an inventive genius that never
quite clicked.
Goodridge, a capable chemist,
had arranged the apparatus in
an adjoining room, leading a
hose from the apparatus to q
couch, where his body was found.
The death machine consisted of
four small liquid-filled bottles on
top of a gas oven and a larger
bottle standing above a gas
burner. Small hoses connected
all the bottles.
The gas generated by the fumes
passing from the large retort
through the succession of bottles
was carbon monoxide, coroner's
physicians said. Death was swift
and painless, the tests showed.

SOUL AND BODY
SCIENCE TOPIC

"Soul and Body" is the subject
of the lesson-sermon in all the
Churches of Christ, Scientist to-
morrow. The golden text is from
Romans 1911: II beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy acceptable
unto God, which is your reason
able service" Among the citations
which comprise the lesson sermon
is the following from the bible:
"Wherefore henceforth know We
no man after the flesh; yea,
though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now hence
forth know we him no more" !"
Oil Corinthians 5:16). The les
Son-Sermon also includes the fol-
lowing passage from the Chris
tian Science text book, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy; The
divine mind, not matter, creates
all Identities, and they are forms
of mind, the ideas of Spirit ap-
parently only as mind, never as
