The Theatrical WOrld--
Rae SGnlueLS' Dancer
Actually Is o. Wonder
by WALTER D. HICKMAN

7 ALWAYS have commended that
4 Rae Samuels should head her
own revue, and this season she has
surrounded herself with a nearly
all-girl revue under the title of
Cocktail Hour"
The term nearly all girl" is APP
prOpriate, for Olyn Lindick appears
as "Beulah"-a surprise by itself.
just as Ted Lewis takes boys and
trains them in song and dance, Miss
Samuels has taken Miss Eleanor
Whitney, one of the sweetest little
girls the stage has had since Evelyn
Terry was discovered years ago.
Eleanor is a wonderful tap dancer,
plus the wonderful personality of
gracious and talented youth. Miss
Samuels cracks the nail on the nose
when she tells her audience that
some day they will be paying big
money to see Eleanor dance. The
girl actually is wonder.
I do not know the name of the
young lady who directs the girl
orchestra, but she, too. is an in
Gividual dancer with both talent
and striking personality.
The four acrobatic girls fit nicely
into the revue. The Harmony Co.
eds should stick to their inStru-
mental music and not attempt to
look like chorus girls, because they
haven't the looks. They are good
musicians.
Kitty Doner has been splendid
male impersonator for years. She
has class, the looks, and dancing
talent. She keeps the show moving
when Miss Samuels is not on the
stage.
Beulah gives her impression Of a
Smalltown wife going shopping in
town. 1t is burlesque and hokum,
but gets over.
All of Miss Samuels' songs have
nifty kick to them. She has one
song about mama who does not
want her papa to slow down. In
another song, she panicS the
audience in wise smarty lyrics about
daddy who went back to his wife
after the stock crash.
Miss Samuels is typically Rae
Samuels and she has not slowed
down one bit. She is still 1.-THE
Blue Streak of Vaudeville"
From a scenic standpoint, Cock
tail Hour" is in an excellent taste
All the girls are properly and taste
fully dressed. Here is a heavy pro-
duction and lives up to Miss Sam
uel's reputation of doing things
right.
This woman is a stage institution
and one of the very few who have
weathered changing tastes in the
theater and remains today a heavy
box office attraction.

TodaY's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

TODAY the United States is the worlds largest
Il paper manufacturing country. Since 1885 there
have been issued to investors in this country the
largest number of patents to paper making in the
history of the world.
Invention of the paper making machine the
Fourdrinier in Europe in 1903 brought to end the
centuries of paper making by hand. This invention
and the invention of machine for grinding wood
TO make pulp, pua the paper making industry upon
its modern path of development. Until that time
most paper was made from cotton and linen rags.
This source OF supply would never have met the
modern demand.
The manufacture Of paper may be divided into
two chief divisions First there is the treatment of
the material. This includes cooking washing
bleaching and reducing to pulp
Second, there is the conversion of the prepared
pulp or hbers into paper. This includes the opera
tons Of beating, sizing coloring forming the sheet
or web, and surfacng.
1t is fair today to consider the manufacture Of
paper as chemical process for chemical considera-
tons enter into every step.
TN making paper from rags the rags are boiled with
Il lime and soda ash or caustic soda This eliminates
the textile filters, sizngs grease and impurities,
leaving only the cellulose fbers
Next the fbers are washed and screened and
then bleached with the aid of another chemical
calcium hypochlorite. After this the refining pro-
cess must be carried In this, the bers are beaten

MANY grades of paper contain filters or loading

this purpose are china clay, tale asbestine calcium

Within recent years the class of papers known as
coated or glazed have been developed. These were
required to make possible the printing Of haf-tone
reproductions These papers have smooth surface
which is made by coating the paper with some
mineral substance and adhesive to hold it in
place.

around him. From the surging,
milling group the Negroes moved
toward Big Jack. At one end of
the floor they formed a formidable
flying wedge, tougher, more de-
termined gang than ever was seen
on a football field.
They charged down the hall,
gathering reckless momentum.
The alarm broke, Here they
come" shouted husky voices,
hoarse from campaigning. Down
toward the hall flew the wedge.
The Negroes grabbed the ballot
box, showing aside any who dared
to interfere.
Whooping and yelling in jul
bilant cutlery, the Big Jack
mob swarmed into a saloon across
the street. They hurled gibes back
at the forlorn bunch in the hall.
The anti-Durbin crowd merely
smiled, acting as though they were
good sports. They knew when they
were licked.
n
BETWEEN beers, Big Jacks
- men hammered at the bal
lot box. They tugged at it, they
kicked it and they cursed it. But
the box wouldn't yield. They
seized a hammer and pounded,
but the ballot box was resolute.
Back in Cyclorama hall, laugh
ter and the clatter of voices re-
vealed the secret. The anti
Durbin crowd, anticipating just
such a violent move on the part
of the opponents, put trick card
in its own sleeve. The ballot box
was manufactured especially with
steel The anti-Durbin men sought
out the biggest and the strongest
lock in town, locked it on the box
and kept the key,

was the playing of Haydn'S Con
certo in D Major" in memory of the
late j. P. Frenzel, who was for many
years guiding spirit in the Maean-
nerchor organization. Mr.. Piati-
gorsky, too, was a favorite of Mr..
Frenzel, so that the combination
of the artist and the composition
made a fitting tribute.
Opening with Sonata" by Henry
Eccles, Mr.. Piatigorsky displayed
his talent for tonal beauty in the
lyricism of the Largo movement.
This was followed by Bach's i'm
pressive Suite in D Major" for
cello alone in which Mr. Piati-
gorsky deity handled the intrica-
cies of the Praeludium. Although
at times his quality of tone was
not all that might have been de-
sired, he produced, in the double
stop passages of the Sarabande and
Praeludium movements, an exquisite
tonality.
Following the Haydn Concerto, ;"
he played Scriabins "Etude," a
Chopin "Nocturne," both arranged
by the arts "Serenade Espagnole'
by GlazounC f." Russian Dance"
and Dance OF Terror" by DeFalla.
1t would seem that Mr.. Piati-
gorsky has a peculiar propensity for
the gayety and brilliance and saw
agery of compositions such as the
Glazounof and DeFalla numbers
These, he performed with verve and
gusto; he made them exciting.
Accompanying him on the piano
was Ignace Strasfogel, Indianapolis
pianist. He ably met the demands
of the piano passages of the Haydn
Concerto"

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

NTOTHERS have been so driven to nourish their
WI children adequately that they are constantly
between the fires of underweight and overweight
Another for this is the fact that the special
lists still arguing to just what is the right
weight for children of various heights and ages.
The ordinary height and weight tables of a pre-
vious decade beginning to be subjected to some
disagreement. Nevertheless. it is safe to say that
any child who weighs 20 per cent more than the
weight listed in these tables is fat.
1t is recognized that some children are fat be-
cause their parents are fat and it is the tendency
of child TO repeat the body build of its parents.
However, authorities say that fat children of
fat parents fat because they initiate their fathers
and mothers in their eating habits.
The authorities on the constitution of the human
body insist that there is family tendency to over
weight in So per cent of cases.
ONE thing that doctors have observed is the fact
~ that it is much easier to avoid gaining excessive
weight than it is to take the weight of once it has
been put
Mothers are so anxious to see their children grow
that they are likely to drive them into the develop
ment of large appetite. Children may get the habit
OF eating more than they require.
Moreover. great deal Of our modern advertising
is constant encouragement to eat more of more
things It has been found that fat child is really
not healthful one of normal weight. and fat
children do not do we'll if they develop the infec
tious diseases, diabetes pneumonia.
The fat child is constantly being teased by his
friends and is likely to develop peculiar mental
attitude.

Two sides were pitting their
wits against each other. The
anti-Durbin crowd was led by
such prominent figures as Harry
New, who later became post
master general, Ross Hawkins,
Sam Fletcher and Fred Matson.
Against these men was Big
Jack William H. Jackson), Negro
political leader. Big Jack is a
brawny and imposing figure. He
still figures prominently in Re-
publican politics here. There was
considerable feeling against the
candidacy of Durbin, led by a
Major Megrew who had served
under Durbin in the Spanish
American war. Big Jack was de-
termined to swing the Sixth ward
for Durbin.
TINE preliminary business over,
Il there was confusion over how
the votes were to be cast. Each
side warily suspected the other Of
knavery. Finally, some one arose.
"Mistuh chairman" the voice
shouted. "Mitsuh chairman, I
move we vote as we pass out the
door" The resolution was adopted.
The Cyclorama building was large
round building with one door.
The voters passed slowly through
the door as politicians made a last
minute haggling for votes. Big
Jacks men gathered close around
him as the votes were cast. There
was an atmosphere of expectancy
hanging in the hall apart from
the usual casual bantering.
When the votes were cast there
arose a cry from Big Jack, 1.-THE
boxes are stuffed" His bench
men took up the cry and it echoed
around the crowded hall. They've
been stuffing the boxes against
Durbin."
It was part of a well-laid plan.
His huge hand waving, Big
Jack beckoned his followers

RoOsevelt's yen for fishing has
ample precedent. Most of our re-
cent presidents have been ardent
fishermen. They include Cleve-

Hoover. Coolidge at first
scCrned fishing, but got such a
razzing about it that he bought
himself a hook and line and came
genuinely to like the sport.
Roosevelt always will pay the
penalty for having once been
sick. No sooner was he out of

magnificent strategy to steal the
ballot box. They had even con-
scientiously inferred that the box
might be stuffed.
After the candidates had been
certified, Big Jack stormed back
into the Sixth ward gathering.

charged his opponents with all

very cool. They listened to Big
Jack while he gave robust express
sion and politely nodded their
heads. When Big Jack had fin

"You stole the ballot box, didn't
you?"
Big Jack said yes he had stolen
the box, but it hadn't been worth
