ulIll SIdTS Is OH. rIOII1 1lOW
on we may expect fairly
4 consistent stream of West
Coast celebrities, who, with the
slowing up of studio activities,
start their annual pilgrimage
East. During the warm, bright
months to come, Washington, as
every other major city, will doubt
less be privileged to see many of
these Hollywood people, who, be-
ing a restless lot, prefer to earn
a few extra coins by invading the
stages of the picture houses
rather than eating up their Sum-
mer on the sizzling beaches of
Malibu.
This week we are fortunate in
having Miss Talmadge and Miss
Blondell with us. Next week Dick
Powell comes to the Earle. From
then on it will be a scramble, with
the local theaters trying to get the
biggest and best stars available.
This is good idea-if the stars
have anything to say. Last sea-
son the material which was given
the wanderers was, however,
pretty awful. They were sent out
of Hollywood at moments no
tice, made to learn a script as
they came East on the train, re-
hearsed feveriShly in hotel bed
room the day before they ap-
peared, and then did puny little
act before a loyal but slightly dis
appointed audience.
We hope that screen stars, if
they have an inkling that they
may be called upon to make one
of these personal appearances,
will begin now searching for
proper material. After some of
last Summers fiascos we could
easily imagine that if Garbo had
been sent East she might have
appeared in an act of "The
Charm School,"
It would seem like a very wise
Idea for the studios to begin
blowing around and shaping up
their stars for this sort of work.
We cannot imagine, for instance,
that Loretta Young and George
Brent increased their popularity
by the kind of a skit they pre-
Sented here; as also Bette Davis
and Warren William, who tried
their best not to mind acting in
a little sketch which was weaker
than water. If now, these hand
some people are to do this kind
of thing again they should be
warned in proper time, and made
to think not only what they would
enjoy doing, but what sort of buSi-
ness would suit their talents best.
Herewith is a brief chart of the
kind of thing we should enjoy
seeing here during the coming
months:
MISS GARBO-Appearing in a
scene from "L'Aiglon."
JAMES CAGNEY-Doing any,
thing but that soft-shoe dance in
a light blue suit with yellow shoes.
LORETTA YOUNG AS the
Madonna in "The Miracle

Begins"
PAUL MUNI-As himself.
KATHERINE HEPBURN - In

RAMON NOVARRO - Singing

and crying, so that she can see
what her audiences have to 60
through.
GARY cooPER-As Hamlet.

who looks unhappy enough.)
MAE WEST-As "Peg O. My
Heart"
JOAN CRAWFORD-With Fran
chot Tone in the balcony scene

THE BARRYMORES-In a brief
revival of "The Jest"

TRAVEL TO Wakefield

Park Tourists Throughout U. S.
Reported More Numerous in
Last Two Months.

Travel to Wakefield Manor, Va,
birthplace of George Washington, is
registering an increase for the first
time since visitor counting started there
nearly two years back, it was reported
today by Arno B. Cammerer, director
of the Office of National Parks Build
ings and Reservations, Interior Depart
ment.
During October and November, MT.
Cammerer said, park travel over the
Nation showed an average increase OF
% per cent, attributable to improved
business conditions, fine weather and
the boost in emergency work. For
some time there had been decline.
eHeartening reports from business
concerns in and near these reservations
are also being received at the Office
of National Parks" said the announce
ment.
Mr.. Camuferer anticipates marked
increase in travel in Hawaii. for which
figures are not available, due 70 the
present eruption of Mauna Loa. Ma
tional monuments are feeling the up
trend, as are the parks, said the
director. Eleven parks recorded visitor
increases, led by a showing of 224 per
cent for Wind Cave Park in South
Dakota's Black Hills, attributed to
ian Conservation Corps camps. A 46
per cent increase gave Rocky Mountain
and Crater Lake National Parks honors
for second place, while 40 per cent
jump placed Sequoia Park third. Be-
cause several of the parks are not open

Sir Henry Dickens,

News of the death of Sir Henry
Dickens will stir wave Of sympathy in
the hearts Of thousands. He was not
universally celebrated; his career was a
quiet performance of routine profess
sional duties, and he did not win the
fame which customarily is the lot of
public characters. But his name had a
peculiar signifcance-a peculiar effect
upon all who heard 1t spoken or saw it
printed. He was his fathers son. and
Charles Dickens is the special saint of
an era providentially not yet entirely
devastated.
To some it must seem that there is
a symbolic quality in the circumstance
of Sir Henry's departure at Christmas
tide. 1t is the Dickens season; the time
Of the year when all the good things,
the humane and kindly things, for
which the author of "a Christmas
CAROL stands, flourish and prosper; the
time when people are thinking Of the
world and its children as the creator Of
Tiny Tim thought of them. The story
will have new association now. When
men and women read 1t next year, they
will remember: "It was at Christmas
that the last of Dickens boys came
home to him"

the great British metropolis, Sir Henry
earned his knighthood by the labor of
his own mind. He was loyal servant
of the state. an authentic ornament OF
the bench and bar. But the most i'm
portant fact to be noted by his
biographers is that Of his having lived
the Dickens kind of life. Modest,
reticent, kindly, generous and helpful
he in every respect 1t was as
though the teachings in his fathers
books had been his guide, his fathers
spirit his mentor.
A large American public salutes Sir
Henry as he leaves the scene. His
absence will render this Christmas
somewhat sad for many, but it will
bring the day closer, if that be possible

Lunches for School Children.

There are about 1000 public school
children in Washington who are now re-
ceiving free hot lunches, or are going
without hot lunches because their
parents cannot afford to furnish them
or are too ignorant to make provisions
for supplying. them while the parents
are at work. DR.. Ballou recently sent
the figures to Commissioner Allen, who
is now planning to do something
about it.
The United States Government,
through one of its relief agencies, has
purchased great quantities of cheese,
beef, pork, apples, butter, sheep, wheat,
eggs and three varieties of beans for
distribution as food to the unemployed.
In Washington about three thousand
Jobs have been allocated to unemployed
women under the Civil Works Admin
istration. Between eight and nine hun
dred women are employed by the C. W.
A. proper and about seven hundred are
now at work on service projects
sewing, canning, etc.-arld are paid
from relief funds instead of c. w. A.
funds.
Among these women there are good
cooks. In some of the schools there
are domestic science kitchens, and in
some of them are well-equipped cafe
terias.
Is there any good reason why the
employment of women should not be
utilized in the preparation Of school
lunches for the children who need
them, and that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
food for the unemployed should not be
used to feed the children?
Perhaps the chief problem is merely
one of organization and the perfec-
ton of details. For with the food and
personnel available, the hot lunch prob
lem should not be difficult to solve. It
is to be remembered that in the major
ity of cases these children 60 without

Apples for Wine.

Literally, the first fruits of the
United States Governments determi-
nation to utilize legalized liquor i'm
portations as a means of enforcing
concessions to American trade abroad
have just been garnered. In return for
a substantial increase in the original
quota of wines and brandies assigned
to France the latter undertakes to ac-
cept 10000 tons of American apples
and pears. The French originally
were allotted a quota of 784000 gal
Ions of liquor importable into the
American market. They are now TO
be permitted to ship an additional
794 900 gallons, and as reciprocal
concession they will take our apples
and pears regardless Of tariffs While
we are doubling their quota of wines,
they are quadrupling their purchases
Of our apples and pears.
The solution arrived at, after pro-
tracted negotiations between the two
governments, seems a happy and mu-
tually profitable one. The give-and-
take principle, which properly governs
in such International transactions, was
invoked, to the apparent satisfaction
and profit of both sides. The United
States had special reason for giving
favorable consideration to a compro-
mise arrangement which on its face
seems unduly to favor France. The
American authorities, confronted by a
since repeal, recognized the wisdom OF
continuously increasing the domestic
supply. to keep prices from mounting
to still higher levels. Due possibly to
the good cheer demands of the holiday
season, it became known that the liq-
uor import quotas from all countries
had virtually expired and that Frances
original quota of $4,000 gallons had
already been completed.
The administration has intimateG
that Uncle Sam would live up to the
reputation of good Yankee trader
in connection with the liquor which
Europe and the rest of the world are
now legally at liberty to market in this
thirsty country. The apples-and-pears-
for-wine deal with France is a good
start in the direction the Washington
authorities intend to pursue. The
country's liquor requirements consti-
tute a legitimate field of barter with
foreign nations anxious to market their
beverages over here, and repeal can
thus become a blessing to many pro-

If it is now found possible to exploit
