rip" Miller team strong
enough to get within scoring dis
tance needs nothing more than
a secret scoring play to cInch
the game.
In the matter of scoring from
the 10-yard line it is safe to say
that every device known to man
has been applied to the subject
but in spite of this we still see
the best of teams frequently
brought to a halt just short of
a score.
Technically nearly every play
used in game is a touch
down play" provided, of course,
every man carries out his assign
ment properly. In midfield the
defensive team has a very large
area to protect because from here
long forward passes. tricky lat
eral passes, quick kicks and vari-
GUS other plays threaten. When
the defensive team has been
pushed against its own goal line
the amount of territory to be
protected is greatly reduced and
with it a great fear of losing the
ball has over-spread the often
sive team.
An offensive quarterback find
ing himself within 10 yards of a
score certainly finds himself in a
place of great responsibility. If
he calls a trick pass and it
doesn't work the ball may become
dead over the goal line and thus
produce a touchback resulting in
the opponents gaining possession
of the ball on their 2O-yard line.
One such play can make a
smart quarterback look like the
proverbial animal with long ears.

Jack DAILY, Composer

There's no harm in saying now
that "Cavalcade," as a $1.50 pic
ture, enjoyed only a $3.50 engage
ment. It's a crackerjack picture
and worth $3.50 if any picture
in these days but the returns
here and in Baltimore indicate
that the regular moviegoers are
content to wait until it reaches
the first-run houses or the neigh
borhoods. "Cavalcade" will be
nationally released on Easter

carefully chosen program. light
enough to please those without
classical complex, dignified and
melodious enough to charm lovers
of real music. Miss Moore goes

the Washington engagement. An
act of class worth seeing and
hearing a couple of times.

Dancing Show on
Tap at Gayety

| It's a rather far cry from the
classy. stock shows which Jimmy
Lake used to present to the medi-
ocre "Dimple Darlings," which
the Gayety presents this week.
Whereas either uproariouSly
funny comedians or extremely
pretty and talented girls, or both,
made for an enjoyable evening,
this production depends chiefly on
clever dancers. They are Miss
zulika, blonde exponent of the
art of Terpschicore, and AL Rus
sell, an unpretentious sort of lad,
who soon makes them all sit up
and take notice when he breaks
out into his routine.
What comedy there is, and
there is little, is handled in fine
fashion by Bob Bates, who is
presumably straight man, since
the show has three others-Harry
Evanson, Harry Levine and Cress
Hillory-called comedians. Bates
gives a smooth, polished perform
ance, which differs greatly from
the stereotyped brand displayed
by the majority.
Although her name was mad
vertently left off the program,
Betty Du Val is the outstanding
female of the cast. Her songs
and dances evoke much applause
and Billie Holmes ran her a close
race. Nellie Casson was also in
the foreground with Angelus Lee
and Kitty Seifert coming in for
their share of what glory there
was. Herbert Barris as a straight
man proved acceptable.

Louise Goes, Too

Jane insisted, of course, that
Louise be brought along. Louise
thought she'd be in the way be-
cause an engaged couple gener-

But Jane absolutely insisted,
and the doctor said he thought
1t would be best. So Louise
went along, too.
"And now we come to the
strangest part of all. Whatever
DO you suppose happened after
that? Well, you'll never guess,
SO I'll tell you. BY the time
the boat reached Panama City,
the doctor had fallen out of love
with Jane and was simply mad
about Louise!
Romantic? thought it alb
solutely divine. When the boat
got to San Diego and most of
the passengers went to Tia
Juana, Louise and the doctor
slipped away and were married
to each other! Then the doc
tor bought a little car and they
motored back to New York on
their honeymoon.
Louise and the doctor are
together today and they're just
about the happiest couple I
know. And just think; if Louise
had been able to think of plots,
she would never have met the
doctor at ALL"
I asked the obvious question.
I wanted to know about Jane.
"Oh," said the young lady,
"she got very sick after that. I
think she died. or something.
But she was an invalid anyhow,
you know"
I arose.
