company together in an impressive
ensemble.
OF almost equal Importance were tne
musical ARRANGEMENTS which served as
accompaniment to the dances and for
the musical interludes. The instru-
ments themselves gave peculiarly ap-
propriate atmosphere to the interpre-
tation of the dances, as their unusual
tonal color was descriptive and inspir-
ing. Not basically strange to Western
ears, the melodies of great purity OF
outline could. be followed through the
improvisations which embellished them.
In the musical interludeS the skill OF
the musicians was amazing, particu-
larly Simir Sobin and Sishnu DasS,
master drummer, whose sensitive fin
gers produced a rhythmic accompani-
ment of fascinating variety. In the
duet with Timir Baran, SarOdiSt, Sim1r
Sobin demonstrated his astonishing
ability to adjust his beat and shadings
to the improvisations on the sarode.
Several other native instruments gave
interesting color to the dances.
Nothing spoke better for the impress
siveness Of the entire performance than
the waxing enthusiasm of the audience,
which several times asked for encores
and which stood for some moments
applaudiug at the end Of the program.

first theatrical role as an ingenue in
The Hoop of Gold"
AS the ingenue, I was in the second
and fourth acts of the play. Since
in these early days theatrical troups
were very small, in almost every play
we had to double up on the characters
in the cast.
Played Two Parts.
My appearance wasn't needed in the
first and third acts, and in those acts
the play called for an old charwoman
So, besides being the young ngenue
in the production, was also the old
scrubWoman.
When that first appearance reached
the final curtain, then and there I de-
cided what my course in life would be
upon the stage.
As the old character woman. I re-
ceived more applause and gave the au-
dience more entertainment through
comedy than I did as the ingenue. So
I resolved to forget about ever becom-
ing beautiful ingenue or leading lady
upon the stage.
From then on I would be character
actress, and as those character roles
have been mostly elderly women, I in
sist have been an old woman for SO
years.
In my stage plays I have played
mothers many times, grandmothers
often, aged aunts innumerable times
and quite often old maids.

Mrs. Norton replied that would be

Program Not Jeopardized.
The District P. w. A. program, it was

IckeS At the most, it will encounter

Secretary Ickes disclosed late yes

the reason that it would be impossible
for him to advance any P. w. A.
funds at this time.
Concern In Park Program.
Secretary Ickes' only concern over
the bill was in connection with its

UNIONS MAY SHUT
ICE CREAM PLANTS
Strike Leaders Threaten to
Call Out AIIies-Peace
Talks Continued.

A complete tie-up Of Washington's
four largest ice cream plants ap-
peared probable today unless a sat
isfactory settlement between workers
and operators is accomplished at a
conference now being held.
Richard A. Dickson, president of
the Central Labor Union, has an
nounced members of related unions
will be called from their jobs If en-
ployment Of strike breakers at two
factories continues and no wage offer
acceptable to the strikers is made.
Representatives of the union and
the operators met at 10 am. today
in the office of B. L. Hartz, president
of the Colonial Ice Cream Co., in
last-minute negotiations to prevent a
further walk-out.
Teamsters Included.
Dickson's threat to call a strike of
union trades related to the ice cream
workers affects teamsters, firemen
and engineers at the ice cream plants
A conference yesterday between
Charles B. McClosky, business repre-
sentative of the Bakers and Confec-
TONERS Union, Local No. 1l8, to which
the ice cream workers belong, and
operators, failed to produce an agree
ment. That meeting and the one
this morning were arranged by
Howard T. Colvin, Labor Depart
ment conciliator
Two Of the city's plants were not
affected by the strike, having pre-
viously reached wage agreements with
their employees.
Demand $3.50 Scale.
Sixty-four workers, many OF them
women, are on strike. They are de-
manding $3.50 day for skilled labor.
SIS for unskilled and 81 for pint
wrappers.
These increases would represent re-
establishment of the scale of two
years ago, when salaries we're cut 81
in the first two classifications and so
cents in the third.
The plants involved in the strike
are Southern Diaries. Inc; Garry Ice
Cream Co., Colonial Ice Cream Co.
and Fussell-Young Ice Cream Co.
The workers met Tuesday night and
voted to walk out The next day the
bakers, who are members cf the same
union and had been striking. settled
their wage disputes with the oper-
ators and returned to work.

number of Endorsements from prom
inent leaders among the colored race
throughout the country.
While it Is understood the recon-
mendation |. the Attorney General
for the appointment of Scott to Sue
ceed Judge Cobb, whose term on the
municipal bench expired more than
a month ago, has been on the Presi-
dents desk for the past two days. 1t
is not thought likely that he will take
any action in this matter until he
has thoroughly studied and other
wise considered the numerous strong
Endorsements in favor of Judge Cobb
Received Wide Endorsement.
The three principal legal organiza-
tions for men here have previously
given their unqualified Endorsement
for Judge Cobb's reappointment. They
were the District Bar Association, the
Barristers' Club and the Washington
Bar Association. the last-named COM
posed of colored members of the bar.
AS further evidence of the respect
felt generally for the jurist. 100 young
attorneys affixed their names to a
petition for his reappointment.
These four Endorsements were non-
political in nature, since all parties
are represented.
Judge Cobbs rise to his present
position has been an eXempliflcation
of determination to overcome diff
culties.
He was born in 1876 on a plantation
near Shreveport, La. The Civil War
was scarcely over and race feeling,
engendered by reconstruction, was run
ming high. To add to the handicap
he faced, his parents died when he
was very young.
Within him, however. was an inn
pelling desire to learn. Money was
necessary if he was to go to school, SO
he began saving with his first job.
He finally was able to enter a private
school. A few years later found him
a student at Straight University in
New Orleans. doing odd Jobs for a
living while he studied. From Straight
he went to Fisk University in Nash
vile and after graduating there came
to Washington. where he entered the
Law College of Howard University. In
1901, he was graduated with masters
degree.
Special Prosecutor and Judge.
The young lawyer opened an Office
and was well on the way to a lucrative
practice when he was appointed a
special assistant il the Department oi
Justice
About that time he met President
Theodore Roosevelt and a warm and
lasting friendship was formed.
Assigned to the Office of the United
States attorney for the District of
Columbia. he established for himself
reputation in prosecution of cases
under the then new pure food law
He served in this position through
three administrations. and then the
post was abolished, sending him back
to private practice.
When President Coolidge came into
office he appointed Judge Cobb to
the bench of the Municipal Court, and
he was reappointed by President
Hoover.
His ability as a judge is universally
recognized here and the manner in
which he conducts his court has
drawn the appreciation of lawyers,
irrespective of race or politics.

reason to believe that Mr.. Ickes has
any further objections. While the
legislation is still in process of enact
ment, he has reserved further COM
ment upon it.
While the District undoubtedly will
have to wait upon new P. w. A. funds
before 1t can start its program, early
passage of the bill would place it in
an advantageous position when these
funds are made available. The whole
program can be resubmitted and each
project checked, as Secretary Ickes
suggest. BY the time the new funds
are made available, the loan can be
financed without further delay.
