New Local Show
Additions Set

Aspiring entertainers desirouS
for various parts in the second
Loew's Fox Theater all-Washing-
ton revue, should be present at
the additions to be held in the
large auditorium of the National
Press Club Wednesday night at
8 o'clock. At that time Gene
Ford, producer of the show, will
begin his task of picking out
those suitable for the revue.
The auditorium of the National
Press Club is located on the thir-
teenth floor of the National Press
Building, Fourteenth and F SITS.
With additions planned to be-
gin as promptly as possible, can
didates are urged to report at
least 80 minutes before the audi
ton call time.
Remindful of the extreme heat
last year at addition time, the
management Of the Fox Theater
prevailed upon the owners of the
Press Club auditorium to use
their large hall, due to the fact
that it is high in the air, con-
tains a stage and is surrounded
by windows.
Mr.. Ford, who is with Loew's
production department. in New
York, will arrive bag and bag
gage in washington early Wednes-
day morning and will immedi-
ately begin work on selecting a
cast for the show and getting re-
hearsalS started.
Those seeking parts in the
show should remember that it is
not necessary that they be native
born Washingtonians to qualify.
Persons seeking additions
should be over 13 years of age,
for the local laws prohibit the
appearance on the stage OF per-
sons under that mark.
Division Manager Carter Bar
ron has in mind several well
known local persons for the role
of master of ceremonies and
upon his return to Washington
in the next several days, will
make known his selection.
Mr.. Ford, who is staging the
show under the personal direction
of Louis K. Sidney, head Of
Loew's stage productions, is no
novice when it comes to putting
on a show.

About Hepburn

Anent the decision to have some
star other than Katharine Hep
burn play Joan of Arc. here's ar
opinion:
Dear Sir:
Reading the article by Carol
Humes which appeared in Louis
SObOl'S column, in regard to
Katharine Hepburn playing the
role of Joan of Arc, / do not
think divorced or married peO:
pie should play the roles of
SANITY Souls.
There are many single &C.
tresses whom / feel certain are
just as capable as Miss Hep
burn, for instance Lillian Gish'S
beauty of soul in such roles as
she appeared in "The White
Sister" I'd many other films of
tragedy in silent features. Also
Evelyn Venable, Jean Parker
and Jean Muir, not to mention
many others of ability.
To my mind and humble
opinion it does not require any
very dynamic personality to
portray the life Of Joan Of Arc.
Her life being one Of simplicity
and virtue need only be played
by characters Of youth and in
nOcence.

Congratulations to Jim m e
Lake. On July 10 at the Hotel
Adelphi in Philadelphia, the
Ninth Street theater maestro was
made vice-president of the 1nde-
pendent BUrlesk Association.
Izzy Hirst, Quaker City show
man, is head of the new organiza-
tion which now consists of twelve
theaters and will be enlarged to
twenty.
The shows will eliminate all
"blue" gags and skits, cut out
"strip dancers" and otherwise
bring back the revues of a decade
or so ago when the Columbia
Wheel was an important theatri-
cal circuit.
And Jimmie Lake is great per-

ways maintained a decency and

NEWPATRONAGE
PLAN DENIED

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 14.-Rumors
that plans are being made by
State Democratic chieftains to ef.
feet a scheme whereby the Legis-
lature, instead Of the Governor,
would control political appoint
ments, were denied today by Dem
ocratic officials.
According to the rumor, it Is the
plan to have the overwhelmingly
Democratic Legislature, which
meets for one week while Cover
nor Richie still Is in office, pass
measures and have them signed
by the Democratic Governor,
which would transfer the patron
age control from the Governor to
the Board Of Public Works.
This would virtually tie the
hands Of the Republican Cover
nor-elect Harry w. Nice, since the
board Of public works under the
new regime will remain Demo
cratic controlled.
Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis gave little credence to the
rumor, however, both expressing
confidence that Governor Richie
would refuse to be a party to
such a scheme and therefore
would not sign a bill destined to
effect such a plan.

BORAH To FACE
DEMOCRATIC
WRATH
BY KARL M. KAHN
(copyright. 1884, by international
News Service)

Senator william E. Borah has
come back to town and one Of the
first things he Is going to do Is to
get a new horse so he can take
his morning canter in Rock Greek
Park.
That makes at least half a dozen
horses for the Senator, who
brought back several political
PAGERS, but didn't say what be-
came of the charger that he rode
out of town when Congress ad'
journed.
That was the "little fellows"
horse-the one that Senator
Borah was going to ride last sum,
mer and this fall. touring the
country and telling the people
what is wrong with the present
national Set-up.
Just Didn't Talk
SO far as anybody here can
learn the sage Of Idaho did not
get beyond the borders of the
State he represents in the Sen
ate.
Maybe the horse went lame.
There are several SprinterS and
Q couple distance runners among
the horses on which the Senator
came riding back from the Idaho
potato fields.
The relief graft horse is q sprin-
ter. It's beginning to tire already.
There have been lot Of words
and a lot OF type about this horse,
but there hasn't been phrase or
a line Of type that was not already
in the form chart.
At Democratic national head
quarters the hands are grooming
another horse for Senator Borah.
Out To Get Him
He won't want it. He may not
have to take it, for some political
wise men believe it would be
harder to uproot Borah than it is
to uproot the big Idaho potato.
But the Democrats are going to
make a mighty effort to give it to
him when the Senator comes up
for reelection in two years.
It's the horse of defeat.
Governor c.. Ben Ross will be
the Jockey on the horse that the
Democrats hope will be the WINNIE.

LONDON, April 19.-Great Brit

enthusiastically in the Stock Ex-
change yesterday.
Everywhere the budget, presented
to Parliament yesterday by Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer Neville Cham
berlain, was hailed cptimistically.
The approximate 10 per cent reduc-
ton announced in the income tax was
most lauded with the expectation of
benefit to industry followed by an in
flow of fresh buying.
The psychological effect Of the
chancellor's statement granting bene-
fits to all classes of Britons is expected
to reveal itself in more confident op-
erations by the public.
Motor shares in early dealings i'm
proved 2 to S shillings. All indus
trials were f1rmer. Gilt-edgers were
generally a quarter dearer. Transit
lantics were little affected.
