D OMAINE CALENDER writes:
IN met Steve Cochran in New York
and he told me that Mrs. Hibbard is
to be associated with the Clifford
Brooke Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Steve and his school are certainly to
be congratulated Mrs. Hibbard Is one
of the best character actresses that
I have ever seen-her charm, tact,
good nature and splendid dramatic
ability will make her a tremendous
asset to the school"
Mr. Calender, who is one Of the
best character actors we have ever
seen, also is currently appearing on
Broadway in Post Road which
seems to be a hit.

GOOD for those wives of Variety Club
members, Mrs. Arthur De Titta,
ct al, who are completing plans for
the Variety Club Christmas party
which will be given Saturday, Decem-
ber %, at Friendship House. Over
500 little children will benefit thereby
and they will not only receive toys
and more toys, but ice cream, cake
and candy besides. Hope Mrs. De T.

SOMEBODY said that it was 43 be-
~ low last night up at the Wardman
Park theater. The climatic conditions
could not, however, spoil every ones
conviction that Catherine McCord
was giving one of the most amazing
1f tn
other amateur year. AS the flendish
mother in the Studio Theater Arts
production of The Silver Cord" she
frankly amazed an icicled audience,
and gave complete and overwhelming
evidence that she is an actress to be
reckoned with.
Miss Browns first production may
be set down as an artistic success
although whether it is wise to put
such very young actors in such diff
cult situations is a question. They
took Mr.. Howards most cynical play
nicely over the jumpS-underplaying
rather than overplaying-a virtue to
which few young players succumb
Miss McCord was the particular
bright star of the evening-Edyth
LaZarof came next, Margaret Martin
came after that-and the gentlemen
came last. Still, Walter Pick and
Harry Schonrank played honestly and
attractively, and if the ladies were
somewhat better that may not have
been their fault at all.
Last nights audience was large and
appreciative and enjoyed the evening
snug in its furs, muffs and mittenS.

circuit a while When his children
were old enough to toddle he taught
them to tap instead, determined they
should all be troupers. Bennett, the
older boy, studied music for couple
of years, learned cornet and saxo-
phone in that time and began teach
ing the younger children. Leona, the
dark-haired daughter and most
comely of the clan, demonstrates how
well and wisely her father grounded

Troupers
Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

WHEN the clock tolls II tomorrow
morning, should you suddenly de-
eide to chuck your adding machine
out the north window and pursue
what is laughingly called the glamor-
GUS life of the stage as a dancer or
an acrobat, there would be an un-
avoidable series in your happy pill
grim's progression. First, the school,
ing, then work in small-time circuits
lesser night club floor shows, minor
vaudeville houses, rowing circuses in
Summer-and thereafter the big
time-Loew's, or Pantages, or War
ner houses. Since dancing or aero
battles happened to be your penchant.
you would begin the top circuit as
an opening act and remain forever
after in that class unless you were
unusually good or exceptionally well
connected.
All this is preface to rather
startling experience we had over at
the Earle the other day. Feeling pleas
antly bemused after observing Frances
Lederer and Joan Bennett in a
sprightly treatise on the quaint, but
cozy, customs of Puritan romance,
we sat back prepared for quiet
snooze during the turn of THE -Four
Franks" In the first few minutes
after pert Audrey Seiber introduced
them, nothing happened to disturb
our doze. The Franks came scooting
out, the boys armed with cornets and
the girls with saxophones, and if we
thought anything about it the fancy
was merely wonder that so many
youngsters in the same family should
20 around footing horns.
Next the bright young things did
a four-way dance number (as we
remember the idle dream) and then
some sort of comedy, and then the

Mr.. Cochran only began" that
story, for in the middle of it in ran
Mr.. Miller's Mr.. Mckay, full steam,
ready to tell his story about the days
when he was plotting Blanche Ring
about the circuit; Architect Billy Bar
rington almost stood on Mr.. Coch-
rams desk so as to be heard as he
told why he and Steve were not going
to turn the Belasco into a night club;
Fred Jordan, the Abbey TheaterS
admirable advance man and the only
press agent on the road who wears
high brown laced shoes and derby,
was telling why he was once politely
escorted out of St. Louis hotel; a
Miss Somebody or Other came in, pale
and shaking, the way ladies about the
theater always are when they have
lot to do and nobody cal es whether
they do it or not, and went out shak-
ing even a little more; Dutch" the
Pucklike young man known as "Steve's
stooge," clipped out reviews Of Miss
Claire's new play and pasted them
together with an occasional oath and
a song; a gray-haired man ran in at
Steve and said: You don't remember
me, do you?" and Steve lied and said
yes, and when the man ran out he
remembered that it was Mr.. Pagan,
Miss Claire's brother. Mr.. Cochran
began again on that story about
the decanter and the generals mother.
Mr.. Jordan began to tell about the
Abbey Players and their new plays.
Mr.. Mckay got away from Miss Ring
and started in again on "Ode 70
Liberty" Mr.. Darlington was still
hanging on to the Belasco Theater;
Mr.. Miller's dimes were still being
plunked into that phone; Miss Claire
could still be heard from downstairs
and then Steve said, plaintively, Does
anybody know anything about Labur-
mum Grove'?" and at that second
and only for that second-peace pre-
vailed.
MOTE: "Laburnum Grove" is open
ing at the National New Year eve,
although nobody seems to know any,
thing about it. This am. however a
dispatch comes from C. P. Greneker
to the effect that Edmund Gwenn, one

NEW STYLES SHOWN
by BOAT BUILDERS
$50 Concerns Have Exhibits
at Annual Event in
New York.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2O.-The latest
styles in boats, ranging from a COL
lapsible which can be folded onto the
running board Of an automobile to q
54-foot twin-screw motor yacht, are
being displayed by $50 concerns engaged
in boat building. engine manufacturing
and accessory and marine hardware
making at the Twenty-ninth Annual
National Motor Boat Show here.
Multlple-vee bottoms, double forward
cockpits, soundproof engine rooms,
crankless Diesel engines, f1oating-in-
rubber engine beds. built-in reduction
gears and streamlined outboards are
among the new creations of naval ar
chitectS.
Small, useful. comfortable, low-priced
craft feature the show, though the gen.
eral betterment in business is expected
TO increase demand for more expensive
boats. Last year was a successful year
for the Small-boat builder. Many yards
handled more business than expected.
There was little building of large craft,
to open or utility boats of a plain type,
say AZ feet and over, the trend being
sturdily constructed, but hitting a lower
price range
Cruiser builders in the last two years
have stolen the utility boat" market
from the runabout manufacturers, who
created the type. The cruiser makers
put out a regular cruiser hull with no
shelter and offered more sturdy boat
than the runabout of the same type.
This years. however, the runabout build
ers are coming back with shelters on
their products, some even putting in
hunks and galleys. The trade generally
predicts it will be another small boat
year. with lower prices in plain, open
craft
Prices are lower because Of develop
ments in the marine engine field New
lightweight gasoline motors have been
turned out at unbelievably low quota
tions and two outstanding new motors
are being offered in the Diesel line,
notably the crankless Diesel
The National Association Of Engine
and Boat Manufacturers Is trying to
formulate a code, which will be one of
the chief topics at next Fridays meet
ing. The association favors modifying
the present shipbuilding code to bring
in the small boat builder. Another
group has drawn up code for the
small boat builder and repairer, but
this is opposed by the national associa-
tion and the National Council of Ship
builders as being confusing with the
present proposed code and overlapping
in authority
The Chesapeake-Po Potomac section Of
the American Power Boat Association

For Producers of
Farm Machinery
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 20.-Farm ma
chinery producers may be able to ex-
pand their sales by perhaps rs per cent
this year, and should experience little
difficulty in restoring operations to q
profitable basis, says the Standard
Statistics Co of New York, in an
analysis which continues:
More than $600000,000 will have
been given as bonuses for reducing the
production of corn. hogs, wheat and
cotton, or nearly S100 for every farm
in the United States. In addition to
these cash payments, :he Government
is lending on corn in cribs to farmers
who sign the corn reduction agreement
The total amounts represent more ready
cash than the average farmer has had
for several years. and is a significant
factor in the 1894 outlook for agricul-
tural machinery and equipment sup
pliers.
additionally. gross farm income last
year is estimated to have been one
third greater than in 1882, and further
improvement in this regard is expected
for the current year. Strengthening
Of farm credit through the bank guar
anty law, and continued thawing out
of frozen assets in closed country banks
is another constructive factor"

Automobile production was sharply

Output was close to the total for the
corresponding week of 1888, despite the
fact that one of the leading low-priced
car manufacturers has not yet started
volume production.
Price Index Unchanged.
Production of steel ingots was ad-
vanced slightly. and another advance

week ending January 20. The rate in the
latter period (34.2 per cent of capacity
was the same as the highest rate

Reserve bank credit outstanding,

was more than a half billion dollars
greater than year ago. Security
prices averaged higher than in the
