Mr.. cOzine rrmained firmly
unconvinced.
"I'm telling you. Mark" he
stated, "that you are absolutely
wrong. I'm not arguing with
you, I'm just telling you. That
girl at that table is o woman"
was growing q trifle peeved.
Ray Muscles In
Listen, Ray" I growled;
we've been through q lot to-
gether on this trip and we're not
going to start any arguments
now. But let me tell you some
thing straight from the Shoul
der. When you argue with me
about night clubs, pansies and
cover charges. you're stepping
right into my Broadway terri
tory.
do I argue with you when
you tell me that a wide lens is
better than another kind Of
lens? Do I tell you you're a
liar when you tell the camera
man to fade out instead Of cut?
Haven't done everything pos
sible to cooperate with you in
every way?"
Mr.. Cozine attempted to say
something, but I stopped him
abruptly. I was going fast now,
and I didn't want to be stopped.
"Of course, I have" agreed
with myself. "And now what
happens? You suddenly pop
into my territory and start to
tell me what's what around q
night club. It's not fair, Ray
and you know it as well as I.
"I'm telling you that that
woman is a man. And, by golly,
you'd better agree with me-"
My friend was pounding the
table in. an attempt to get a
word in.
Listen, Mark" he said, dog
gedly; I'm not calling you a
liar and I'm not butting into
your territory. I don't know as
much about night clubs as you
do. and that's something Of
which I'm very proud"
] didn't like that last crack.
It had all the earmarks Of q dis
tinct rap. I tried to talk-but
it was Mr.. Cozine who was now
wound up. And once he gets
started he's tougher to stop than
I am, ..
Positive Fact
cali I'm telling you is some
thing Of which I'm quite posi-
tive. You've been right about all
the other men around here who
are dressed as women, but
you've gone wrong on that
girl over there.
"I don't bet very often, but
this is one spot where I'd like
to go the limit. That girl is q
girl, no matter what you tell
me. And how do you like that?"
At that moment. fortunately
for Mr.. Cozine and myself. my
guide returned to our table. I
turned to him.
"Glad you're back" 7 said.
Before we leave want you to
settle a little argument for us.

perfectly as women. Am !

first. Look over there in that
corner. Do you see that blonde
over there? No, not that one.
That's a waiter. you mug. The
other one. That's right.
Nov, tell us something. You
know all these people. Is that q
man or a woman?"
The guide looked highly un-
comfortable.

but you interrupted me-"
WELL" I growled. what is
it?" .
He shrugged his shoulders.
There are no men disguised
as women here any more, sir"
he said. 1.-THE police stopped all
that just a week ago. The wom-

I thought Cozine would fall
off his chair. I wish he had.

Clubs

1At%ENk~S'
One thing about the Berlin
night clubs, however. They are
by no means as expensive as
the Paris spots and they don't
try to put the finger on you
the minute you step into a
place. Take, for example, a
spot called the Ell Dorado.
! Here's a. club that has become
famous for the ability Of the
male performers to attire them.
selves as women. I've spoken
Of this angle in one of my
articles from Paris, and we
certainly have plenty Of 1t il
New York.
Why it is popular Is another
question. Personally, I think
this type Of amusement is good
for one visit-and after that, 1t
becomes just a little bit dis
gushing.
But I stray from my subject,
rs usual. The Ell Dorado per-
Fnits you to sit at any table
you might choose and does not
insist that you buy wine. There
were three Of us at my table;
Mr.. Cozine, my guide and I.
And my bill was but $2.25,
which is highly unusual in
spots such as these.
We stayed for but 20 minutes
and that was more than enough
for me. Unfortunately had
to, see part of the floor show
during that time. And what
did I see? Well, you guess.
Right you are. A woman who
sang very badly and a girl who
did an acrobatic dance.
Where have all these aero
batic dancers sprung from? A
few years ago if a cute grille
did a neat little tap dance, that
was fine.
But suddenly, from out Of
, nowhere, came these Internal
acrobatic dancers. They sprang
UP like mushrooms and they
are just about as entertaining.
It's getting so nowadays that
unless q girl can tickle the
back of her neck with her eye
lasl1eS. people don't believe she
can dance. ti
Amusing Occupation
Thus, while the alleged show
was on, Mr.. Cozine and I
amused ourselves by trying to
pick out the various men who
we're dressed as women. My
guide had left the table for o
moment mad we were awaiting
his. return in order to leave
the place. And I was giving
Mr.. Cozine the benefit of my
vast Broadway experience,

] asserted. "The one behind
the bar. Well, that's q man.
Not q bad disguise, but I've
seen better right back in old
Webster Hall. There's another.
And another. Notice how you
can't miss them? And I thought
they said this place was good"
Mr.. Cozine was nodding
rapidly.
yep, Mark" he cried. "Now
that you mention it, it's all
very plain. Eve, seen better
rnake-ups plenty Of times. Say,
wait a minute. There's one of
the cuteSt girls I've seen in
Berlin. No. not that one. The
one with the blonde hair over
there"
I looked at the spot to which
Mr.. Cozine was alluding. And
after a long look ] laughed
heartily and loudly.
That's the time they caught
you," said. That's a man,
too. But I'll say one thing for
him. He's got on the best out
fit in the place. If I hadn't
covered these spots on Broad.

Cheers to the Fox Company
for starting the opening night
performance about three-uuarters
of an hour earlier than usual.
Amazing the amount Of care taken
with this production. There Is q
sailor who appears for a flash in
a musical comedy scene. The
studio brought an actor all the
way from London for the part.
You should have heard q hlase
premiere audience gasp at the
famous scene where the honey
mooners step away from the rail
Of the steamer and disclose a life

Rv HARRIsON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17.-With.
in the last two months the
British motion picture industry
has taken the bit between its
teeth and is out to make good
pictures If it has to bring half OF
Hollywood across the ocean to
turn the trick.
One box office smash did it.
So says Edward Everett Morton,
the comedian, who has just re-
turned from a chore with the
British Gaumont Film Company
and whom I found yesterday sit
ting in a sunlit patio trying to
bake the London flu out Of his
bones.
Eddie names the epoch-making
picture as "Jack's the Boy" q
laugh-getter featuring Jack HUI
burt, husband Of the English
comedienne, Cecily Courtneidge,
and a performer whom Eddie de.
scribes as a cross between Harold
Lloyd and the late Raymond
Hitchcock.
So successful is Jacks the
Boy"-it's coming thousands OF
pounds-that the English producer
has gained an entirely new con-
fidence. He sees that real money
can be made by hit in England.
He's out to get more, and he Is
willing to spend increased money
to do it.
British studios, says Horton. are
generally behind their Hollywood
rivals in lighting, particularly
trick lighting. They never, for irl-
stance, light two players faces
differently for a closeup: ands
while they use the new American
film. they haven't yet discovered
the tan makeup that goes with it.
To correct these matters they
are coming to Hollywood. And
Eddie says they are willing to pay
handsomely,

 When Rebecca arrived in River boro to live with her two maiden aunts, Miss Miranda and Miss Jane Sawyer. she brought with her joy ous youth and boundless energy. She was given many tasks to do, for young girls in Rebecca's time were expected to prove useful at 0 multitude of household affairs. But the gratest task that Rebecca null the greatest task that Rebecca &C., complished was the winning of the affection of her two aunts, who were at first disposed to look upon Rebecca as an impossible child.
 Rebecca's school days, first at the village school in Riverboro, later at the Academy in Wareham. were filled with Q multitude of wonderful events for the young girl. Her pleasant acquaintances, many of whom were to guide and shape her young life, filled her days with sunshine and joy. "Mr Aladdin" Rebecca's generous pa- tron and friend; Miss Maxwell, the teacher at Wareham, who en- couraged and developed the girls budding literary talent; Emmy Jane, Rebeccas room mate at Wareham; Uncle Jerry and Aunt Sarah Cobb, and the dear family at Sunnybrook, who were at last to find happiness with Rebecca at the red brick house in Riverboro-- all these people move through Il play as plesanantly charming as 0 England summer day.

Connecticut's senators and rep resentatives are being well cared for in the matter of telephone service during the 1893 session of the general assembly. In addition to the batteries of public tele- phones on the second and third floors of the state capitol, the Southeirn New England Telephone company has 8 private switch board and another battery of sta tions especially for the use of the assemblymen in the first floor lobby.
 All incoming calls for the legis- 1ators and those connected with legislative operations are handled through this switchboard, while In placing calls the solons have the chioce of using the stations either on the first, second or third floors. For handling the incoming calls, the company has provided Q page boy whose duty 1t is to learn the seating arrangements both in the senate and in the house of repre- sentatives, so that he can go i'm mediately to the seat of any leg islator to inform him or her of 8 call without confusion or delay.

 9. Lots of boys and parents ask me this question. Nothing but a qualified yes, can be given. Each boy should talk it over with a friend - if possible his minister. doctor or lawyer. Many employ CTS do not object to such boys. Some such boys where they have received proper character-buiId- ing are better than average boys. My friend, Fred Nelles, head of the Whittier Reform school of California, made all but five per cent of his boys fine citizens. In later life the five per cent got into about the same amount of trouble as the average person.

 A very large proportion of the calls made to the legislative switchboard are toll calls coming from the home towns of the as- semblymen. Most of the senators and representatives are business and professional men whose offices keep constantly in touch with them when they are attending the ses- sions. Telephone service is espe- cially essential to those members who remain overnight at Hartford on the days of sessions. The switchboard is in almost incessant use from ten in the morning when the legislators begin to arrive at the Capitol until committee hear ings are over late in the after noon.

1. The answer is a qualified yes. Lawyers maintain that women will not confess when on trial as free ly as do men and that when they do they are more likely to weave absurd stories and excuses. think this most likely due to unfamiliar ity of many women with the rules of evidence and lack of apprecia- tion of the penalties involved. How ever, when women decide to go through with q hard moral situa- ton, all evidence indicates that most of them are like the old lady in one of Mrs Freeman's novels who always said, "I make up my mind slow, but I make 1t up firm" And when @ woman has made up her mind, especially on a moral question, 1t is time for mere man
