theater lobby where there has
been erected a replica Of the beer

The beer garden is unusual in

White House Praise

Mrs. William Howard Taft is
on the honorary committee
which is arranging the L. Stod-
dard Taylor testimonial perform
ance at the National Theater
next Monday night when Paul
MUM in "Counsellor-At-Law" will
be the stage attraction.
From the treasured archives
of the Belasco Theater yester-
day the department uncovered a
21year-old tribute to the Belasco's
manager affectionately penned
by the beloved William Howard
Taft. On White House station
cry, dated April II, 1911, it says:
"My Dear Mr.. Taylor:
"I have yours of April 11th.
Don't bother yourself about my
comfort at the opera last night.
/ enjoyed it very much.
81 want to take this oppOr-
tunity to thank you for your
invariable courtesy. In en-
abling me to see SO many in
teresting plays this season, you
hive given me great pleasure
and afforded me relaxation
during a winter Of considerable
mental and physical strain.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) "WM. HI. TAFT.
And although President Hoover
is not what might be called a
steady theater.goer, he did find
time to pen this letter to a pub
lic-spirited neighbor who has en-
tertained many Presidents:
"My Dear Mr.. Taylor:
81 congratulate you cOrdi-
ally upon the conclusion Of
your rs years Of service as a
theater manager in Washing
ton, in which you have con-
tributed SO much to the pleas
ure and recreation Of your
felIOwmen, and I wish you all
happiness in the years to come.

BY the way the Earle is going

They Like Kate

The low down on Katharine
Cornells new play as gathered
from the reviews of 10 New York
critics: All 10 liked the acting
of Miss Cornell, but seven Of
the 10 commentators thought the
star was better than her play,
Allen Corn" Several predicted
it would run for months, but the
spectators, with a keen eye for
business, figure Miss Cornell will
be ready to brush off "Wimpole

ish. Yet he has many Ger
man characteristics, and the
suspicion fingers that a Ger
man must have rested for a
nap somewhere in the vicinity
Of his family tree.
He is thin, and small, and
the little hair he has left is Of
q sandy color. He's a terrible
musician, yet he is in love with
his art. He plays at luncheon
time, and at tea time at the
bar, and during dinner, and
then later at the bar again.
His salary? Your guess is
as good as mine-and what
difference anyhow? Ten dollars
q month would be a great deal,
but 1 don't think it would mat
ter much to him if it were
five. He lives on the boat. He
eats and he sleeps. And as
long as he could be certain of
q little applause every now
and then, I think he would
even let that $40 go.
Tips? None, Of course. These
are lean days on the Turkish
Mail line. The summer does
not bring too many customers,
and the winter hardly any.
Last night, for dinner, there
were but four of us in the din
ing room. The sea was ex-
ceptionally rough, and the few
other passengers in the first
class cabins had decided to re-
main where they we're.
But all that meant nothing
to my friend, the orchestra
leader. When 1 walked into
the dining room, there he was.
And no sooner was I seated
with the other three men than
he led his orchestra into a
complicated selection from one
Of his, obviously, favorite e
operas.
Concert Maestro
His rendition was little less
than brutal. The rest Of his lit
tie orchestra was far behind
him and, every time they turned
a page, they went off on their
own in order to catch up. Yet
it all seemingly made little diff
ference to him. He kept fond
ling his violin and geSturing
with his bow as though he were
leading a symphonic orchestra
in Carnegie Hall.
There was something very
strange and infinitely pathetic
about it all. Only four of us eat
ing in the middle of that rough
sea. Every now and then a port
hole would blow open with a
loud noise. Once a waiter drop
ped his platter with a very solid
clatter. But on and on went
that violin.
At the end, I applauded. The
other three men looked at me
in aStoniShment-but it wasn't
mockery on my part. Far from
it. 1t was something else entire
ly. It was as though had given
my last SIS bill to family that
was really starving.
AS I applauded, the leader
looked in my direction. He
bowed, and no bow in all his
tory ever had more meaning or
a more stately Difference. On
the rise, his eyes met mine. I
saw the peculiar glint-and
then knew.
