"BoIIet Russo"
Coming Here

The Monte Carlo Ballet Russo,
which last year gave this country
it's first taste of real Russian
ballet since the glamorous days
Of Diaghilev, will appear again
at the National Theater on the
afternoon and evening OF Novem-
Der 4 under the management of
T. Arthur Smith Concert Bureau.
With a half a hundred dancers,
an extensive repertoire of produc-
tions and assisted by an orches-
ira, this Russian troupe will tour
"a cities after a short season in
Mexico City, where it will iraugu-
rate the new Palace of Fine Arts,
and a one-week engagement on
Broadway beginning October IS.
Leonide Massine will again
head the company in the capac-
ity Of maitre de ballet, choreg-
rapher and principal dancer, and
among the leading dancers are
Tamara Toumanova, Ieina Baro-
nova, Titiana Riabouchinska, Da-
vid Lichine, Yurek Shabelevsky

Wasn't there a rumor some
where about yachting being u
rich mans sport? Well, if there
was, the competition in the cup
race has certainly had it's effect
on all classes. I am positive
that the Morgans and the Van
derbilts will be happy to know
that a gentleman called this
newspaper office the other
afternoon and spoke as follows
to the sporting editor:
"Hey, bud. Wot's de void on
dem boats wot's racin,?"
All Of which, for no good rea.
son, reminds me Of Arthur Muir.
rays story about Gene Tunney.
Gene, you will remember, was
an unpopular champ. He was
unpopular because he defeated
the fistic public'S idol, Jack
Dempsey.
Training camp stories didn't
help Gene either. Since Demp-
Sey was known as the street
brawl type of fighter, the
Tunney build-up had him as a
gentleman boxer. You will re-
member that the wits had great
fun at Tunney's expense be-
cause Gene read Shakespeare
and such.
Only &c did Tunney show
his concern regarding the lit
erary trend Of the build-up. It
seems that, during an inter
view, a scribe asked Gene If he
had ever written a book.
"No!" Tunney Is alleged to
have snapped. "They hate me
now because they think I can
read. Can you imagine what
they would say if they thought
I could write, too?"
The actor contributes more to
charity than any other class OF
society. Most stars play at least
so benefits q year; some play
a hundred. Whenever you see
an actor at a benefit, encourage
his work all you can. He is Civ
ing his best so that others will
be helped.
AS an illustration, I tell you
of a benefit that was held in a
Long Island town a few nights
ago. A former vaudeville artist
lost his legs in an accident. He
needed money Immediately, and
the benefit was determined
upon.
A call was sent out to per-
formers and, as usual, they re-
Sponded nobly. Although the
town in question is some Is
miles from New York, they came
by car and train in order to help
the unfortunate actor. When the
curtain went UP, some 80 artists
had gathered to give their best.
In the audience, there were II
people.

End Festival

The final Summer Festival Of
the season last evening at Sylvan
theater proved a delightful en-
tertainment for those who braved
the cool breezes long enough to
enjoy a splendid program by the
United States Marine Band and
the Marian Chace Dance Group.
Presented under the auspices of
the Community Center and the
National Capital Parks under d.
rect supervision of Miss Bess
Davis Schreiner, this closing Of
fering in a series Of exceptional
programs marked a satisfying
note.
Miss Chace displayed charm in
her arrangement of the numbers.
One Of the most diversified and
exotic terpsichorean triunphs Of
the dance season, the entire
repertoire was gracefully and COM
petently produced. Without ex-
ception the participants were
lovely.
Miss Chace was the acme Of

In a class restaurant IN the
middle Fifties, five men were
drinking cocktails last Satur-
day evening. One Of them
put down his glass and gazed
dreamily ahead.
Tired of 1t All
"You know, fellows" he said,
I'm tired of all these places. I
don't mean this particular spot;
I mean all of them. What I
would like is to find something
new. I'd be a happy guy If one
Of you boys could suggest a new
place for us to go tonight"
A friend heartily endorsed the
idea.
You're right, Perry" he
agreed. "All of us are content
to settle in the same old groove.
We spend our nights in the same
old places. I'm with you, kid. I,
too, wish that somebody would
get a brilliant idea and take us
to a new place for a change"
The talk went on along the
same line for some ten minutes.
Then a lad, whom I am permit
ted to identify only as Fred,
piped up with a suggestion.
Boys" he said, "if you want
to string along with me, I think
I can relieve the monotony.
We're all talking, and we all
agree that we'd like to go to
some new place. I've got the
spoil"
He nodded.
1--WE got the very spot" he
repeated, land want to tell you
fellows that it's the grandest
place in America. Well have to
go by car, and it's not a par.
ticularly short drive. But once
you get there, you'll all thank
me for my suggestion.
I'm not going to give you the
name of the place and I'm not
going to tell you where it is. I'm
simply asking you to be my
guests. And as long as we have
nothing better to do tonight, we
might enjoy ourselves great
deal on this little adventure.
"How do you feel about it?"
The other boys agreed that
the idea was interesting. They
had a quart Of dry martins
made up to drink as they drove
and, after paying the check,
hoped into Fred's machine. A
few minutes later they were on
their way.
Fred began to drive up the
Hudson. He was driving about
an hour when the boys started
to grow nervous.
How long a ride is it to this
place, Fred?" he inquired. I'm
getting hungry"
"Oh," carelessly replied the
man at the wheel, tits quite
some distance yet. But don't
worry. You're going to the most
beautiful place you've ever seen.
I can assure you it's worth the
ride"
Well, I'm not going to bore
you with too many details.
Sufficient to relate that Fred
drove on and on for more than
three hours. By this time his
pals were on the verge of in
sanity. And Fred's only reply
was that the ride was going to
be truly worthwhile.
He turned suddenly into a
side road and drove for another
mile. And he came to a grind
ing halt before a small group
of buildings that looked gloomy

Macs Portrait
Pointed Here

What is probably the largest
portrait in oils in the world-12
x II feet-has been ordered by
Mae West from Michael Anthony,
washington artist, and it is now
being painted in the lobby Of
Warner Bros. Earle Theater. The
picture is a striking likeness Of
the screens most curvaciouS star
in her role as Belle Of the eos"
the new Western picture which
comes to the Earle on Friday, Sep
TENDER %.
After Anthony's preliminary
sketches had been submitted to
Miss West on the Coast, she i'm
mediately wired her approval and
commissioned the artist to begin
work at once. Because his studio
was too small to house the paint
ing, arrangements were made for
the immense canvas to be placed
in the lobby.
On Friday, Anthony made a
complete sketch Of the drawing
in charcoal. The actual painting
was begun on Saturday and now
the portrait is more than half COM
pleted. It is so large that the
nose. is nearly as big as an ordi-
nary head.
Visitors to the Earle, where
DANES" is the current screen at
traction, are stopping to ask many
questions about the unusual por-
trait. Anthony expects to finish
his work Thursday. The completed
picture will, by special permission
OF Miss West, be displayed in the
lobby for an additional week.

APPEAL OPENED
|. IN GLORIA CASE

NEW YORK, Dec. IL G.N.S.1.
Mrs. Reginald c. Vanderbilt's no.
tice of appeal from the order of
Justice John F. Carew, dividing
the care of her ten-year-old
daughter, Gloria, between Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney, the child's
paternal aunt, and herself, was
on file today before the appel
late division of the Supreme
Court of New York.
The appeal, of which the no.
tice is but the first step, must be
filed in 80 days. Nathan Burkan,
Mrs. Vanderbilt's attorney, said
the 5000 pages of testimony in
the case would be printed as
soon as possible.
Church Ruling Hit
Mrs. Vanderbilts notice stated
that she appealed from Justice
Carew's disposition of her writ
o. habeas corpus which made the
child a ward of the court, direct
ing Mrs. Whitney to care for the
child five days a week and allow
ing the mother to have little
Gloria on Saturdays and Sun
days.
She also appealed from the
provisions of Justice CareW'S
order directing that the child
should be provided with gov
erness of the Roman Catholic
faith by Mrs. Whitney, directing
the child to be sent to the
Greenvale School at Roslyn and
ruling that she should live at
Old Westbury.
Joins With Guardians
In the last part of her notice,
Mrs. Vanderbilt Joined with the
guardians of the child's estate,
by the Surrogate's
Court, George w. Wickersham
and Thomas B. Gilchrist, in ap-
pealing from Justice Carew's or
der making the guardians parties

forcement of the order"
