 Sending "pious letters'' to state relief administrators authorizing them to hire women would be use- less, Hopkins told his distinguish ed audience in the east room of the White House.
 He said rather that he intended to require. state agencies to use part of the $400, 000, ,000 yCWA fund for the employmen of women.
 T have feeling these people are going to have to be told that they must spend a certain amount on women," Hopkins said. 'I feel pretty humble about this business of unemployed women.

DEAN PATTY IS
 SEWARD VISITOR

Dean Ernest N. Patty, of the Alas ka College is in Seward today, hav- ing just come from Southeastern Alaska where he has interviewed high school graduates and others interested in attending the Alaska College this Fall. Dean Patty says that because of the offer of the Alaska Steamship Company and the Alaska Railroad of round trip fares for the price of a single cne-way fare to all students who attend the Alaska College that many pupils from Southeastern Alaska will at- tend the Alaska College this year who ordinarily would have gone down to the States.
 Dean Patty was interviewing members of the local 1883 gradual ing class today and planned to leave either this evening or tomor- row for Anchorage and Fairbanks where he will interview other gradu- ates.

Many visitors went down to the Navy boats today and were court eously shown over the entire ship by either officers or enlisted men. In many instances it took about half an hour to be escorted through the firerooms, engine room and other departments on one ship, so persons who have not seen the des- troyers can get an idea of all that is to be seen on the boats. No de- finite visiting hours have been set but it is stated that persons who want to look over the craft can go down there any time.

yon Lady For Day Proves To Be Cos Screen Entertainment
GLeaninss and Screenings From Amusement World

That's a perfectly grand record.
It was created because she full
fulls a very useful function for
Earle audiences. She has never
tried to do an act. Has never
muscled in on applause for the en-
tertainerS. The conventional M.
c. who tried to do something clev-
er and different every week would
never have lasted 145 weeks. He
would have long since exhausted
his routine and his capacity to
be amusing. Miss Doyle has
grown in favor and fashion and
becoming modesty. She is as
much an institution at the Thir-
teenth street corner as Freddy
Clark's band and long may they
both wave.
Not word will take back

A Poor Sequence

Things that left me less than
pleased:
The obvious overselling Of Dave
Apollon, ordinarily a good show
man. He knows better than to
begin his act all over again after
Nine. Frances Alda's speciality,
He also knows the value OF
smooth spotting with any vaude'
vile program.
That gosh awful parody on a
shotgun wedding in "Dr. Bull"
And tell me please why they think
it necessary to bring these impoS-
sible humors into a Will Rogers
picture. Isn't he q comedian or
am 1 thinking of another fellow.

imagine that England would do

leave out George Bernard Shaw

musical which explained every
thing satisfactorily. The English
film producers just forgot all

Williams Band in
Howard Show

A highly entertaining stage bill
is on view at the Howard Theater
this week.
Fess williams and his Royal
Flush orchestra head the pro-
gram, with a musical offering
that is splendid. Billed as the
"sepia Ted Lewis" Williams is a
remarkable and dynamic per-
former, and his band are an
aggregation of outstanding mu-
SicianS.
A large show, including a fast
stepping chorus, and many we'll
known comedians, singers and
dancers were also very much ap'
preciated.
On the screen, Loretta Young
stars in a comedy built around
the adventures of a customers
girl" who must entertain out-of'
town buyers while visiting New
York. Lyle Talbot, Regis Toomey
and Winnie Lightner are the
principal supporting players.

Jerri McCauIev
At Gayety

Tuneful and snappy, the "NRA
Girls" visit the Gayety this week
aided and abetted by an un-
usually large number Of princi-
pals, headed by Jerri McCauley.
Joe Moss, popular comedian Of
the burlesque world, heads the
funsters.
The Gayety is on it's first week
in stock, and if the opening per-
formance is any indication, the
change was a wise one. The
chorus Of 16 young m isses is
rather good looking and shapely.
They can sing, too. The scenery
is somewhat improved, though
much could yet be done.
The outstanding bit Of the
MIRA Girls" in this reviewers
opinion, is the dancing Of the
petite and vivacious young lady
who is billed under the euphoni-
GUS name of Lucky Darling. Good
looking, young, small and zestful,
she packs a full punch in her
numbers and one can only wish
that she had more to do. f.
Miss McCauley, well known to
Washington burlesque fans, ap-
pears in a couple Of rather slow
numbers. She lacks the
snap of other seasons.
Joe Moss is quite good. Lew
White and Freddie Walker aug
ment the comic business and Milt
Bronson and Jack Lamont do
well with the straight roles.

Several have asked the depart
ment "Are you going back on

several methods. Flashing the

Alice Search Is
Successful

After a five-monthS' search
which extended through the
United States, Canada and Eng
land, Paramount has selected an
actress for the title role Of its
coming production, "Alice in
Wonderland" She is Charlotte
Henry, who was born in Brooklyn
and has been on the stage and
on the screen since she was 5
years old.
The producers said they had
received more than 1000 applica-
tions for the part. Sixty received
screen tests, but were found to
lack some quality, real or fancied,
of Lewis CAROLS Story-book char
acter. Filming Of the picture was
begun early this week in Holly
wood, but without its central fig.
ure. It was not until yesterday
that Emanuel Cohen, vice presi.
dent of the corporation, and a
committee of producers and di-
rectors decided that Miss Henry
should have the part.
Although Miss Henry's stage
experience began when she was S,
Broadway knew little Of her until
she appeared in Courage" at the
Ritz Theater in October, 1928.
She migrated to Hollywood two
years later and played ingenue
roles, in Harmony at Home,
and "On Your Back" in 1880, and
in "Huckleberry Finn" "Arrow'
smith" and LENA Rivers" in 1881,
Recently she appeared in
Growing Pains" at the Pasadena
(Cal) Community Playhouse and
there met several girls who had
entered their names in the Alice
contest. Becoming interested, Miss
Henry visited the studio and ap-
piled for the part. According to
Paramount's announcement, she
is five feet tall, weighs 104
pounds, has light brown hair, a
fair complexion and blue-green
eyes.
