Theater Of Presidents
The old Columbia was in those
days the favorite show house
for the Presidents and members
of the Cabinet and always
knew when President Taft or
Wilson were coming, for it was
my job to place special chairs
in the left boxes. In those days
these chairs were sacred and
were stored on the top floor of
the Metzerott Building, which is
now the Loew'S Building.
Along in 1915 Marcus Loew
came along and purchased the
Columbia to put in the only mo-
ton pictures on F Street. I met
Mr.. Loew and during our converse
tion told him that the business
men on F Street were willing to
wager three to one that the Co.
lumbia would close in six months,
due to the fact that the admission
charge was to be IS cents whereas
all other picture houses in the
downtown section were charging
S and 10 cents. Mr.. Loew just
smiled and said: We will see

Transferred to Palace

Came April, 1920, and Nicholas
Schenck, now president of LoeW'S,
transferred me to Loew'S Palace,
where we also were operating as a
straight picture house, and one of
the best pictures in those days at
the Palace was the -Four Horse
men" with Rudolph Valentino and
Alice Terry.
Stage shows came along at the
Palace in September of 1925, and
the first show starred Vincent
Lope0 and his orchestra. Sep
TENDER also marks another limo
walton for Washington, the install.
lation of the first cooling system
in the city, and at the Palace.
SourSl pictures were the next
big change in the picture theaters,
and this great change came about
in october, 1928.
Star Acts
Well do remember the per-
sonal appearance of some Of to-
days great stars, some of whom in
those days were just acts. Nora
Bayes was the highest paid act
played at the Palace. to a vaude.
vile artist and Rudy Vallee was
just a musician playing in a tray
cling stage band. Then there were
many fine film stars, including
Jean Harlow, william Haines and
Conrad Nagel and many others.
Along comes 1882 and stage
shows at the Palace were diScon-
tinued, for LoeW'S had taken over
the lease on the Fox and were put
ting their stage show on there.
Up to the present, Loew's Pal
ace has presented the cream Of
pictures of the motion picture in
dustry and I am sure that Wash
ingtonians can bank upon it that
the Palace will always be Wash
ington'S ace picture house.
And Andy, in closing my book
of memories, want to take this
opportunity of thanking the good
Palace patrons who are respon-
sible for my being with Loew's
now going on 81 years, coming
next month. And to my fellow
workers, my appreciation for their
whole hearted cooperation.
Salute to my SuperiorS in New
York and to my division manager,
Carter Barron. They can't be
beat. Every member Of the great
company Of Loew'S are regular
fellows.

Studied Music

Up to the time when Loew's
took the Columbia, had been
studying music, intending tc make
a career of it, but the show bust
ness had gotten under my skin
and gave it up for the movies.
Here is something funny. One
day the Palace orranist didn't
show up in time and as organists
were scarce they didn't know
where to get a relief man. One of
the employees told the manager
that I could play as he had heard
me practice on the Columbia or
gan one morning. AS this employee
didn't know much about music
and the manager didn't know
either, they sent for me. Now I
only knew a few chords on the
organ and I kept repeating them
until the regular man arrived. One
Of the patrons, on leaving the
theater, asked the manager if the
organ was being tuned, and, if
not, what was I trying to play.
Pictures. That's my meat. Some
Of the best pictures in those days
at the Columbia were "Humor-

LOathes Jazz

First to model hats to the
head was Frances Clyne, and
that is quite a distinction. Anna
Held was one of her first Gus
toners. After the war she
opened her own salon, and de-
signed gowns as well as hats.
She is famous for clothes that
have elegance without ostenta-
ton and simplicity without mo-
notony. She likes to dress
women of knowledge, good taste
and intelligence. She spends
from IL to e hours a day be-
tween her workroom and fitting
rooms, and has a Rolls Royce
to take her to and from work.
Miss Clyne is not married,
loathes jazz and loves the thea
ter. She doesn't smoke or drink
or eat meats of any kind. She
studies her clients lives so as
to design things that will fit
into their existence.

Oil Finish Is
Durable

There are good oil finishes
that come all prepared, and if
you use any of these products,
the best plan is to follow care
fully the directions written on
the label of the can. But if
you would follow the old-fash-
Toned method, the one which
has proved SO extremely dura-
BILE, proceed as follows:
The oil to be used is mix
ture of tWo-thirdS boiled linSeed
oil and one-third turpentine. A
linen or wooden cloth is best
for the actual application. The
oil mixture may be applied hot
or cold; the hot oil penetrating
the wood more quickly, brings
out a richer and more beauti-
full tone. (Heat oil in double
boiler to prevent danger of
ignitionO
Let it stand a few minutes
from ten to twenty, depending
on the weather conditions) Be-
fore it can begin to get gummy,
wipe off all the excess, being
very careful to get all the extra
oil out of the corners, the crew.
ices, and the carvings if there
are any.
Then begins the rubbing
which in the end gives it such
a perfect finish. Rub with an
even force for ten to twenty
minutes. After rubbing in all
the oil that seems possible, so
that there is none left to stick
to your finger, let the wood dry
for a day or two-a week is
better-before applying a second
coat.
For the second, and for all
succeeding coats. up to ten if
need be, apply the oil in the
same way and rub carefully and
evenly. Rub each coat quite
dry and let it stand before ap-
plying the next one. The finish
must be dry to the touch and
there should be no trace of oil
anywhere. Place your hand on
the surface on which you are
working; if when you lift your
hand you can see where it has
been, the surface is not dry
enough for the next coat.
It must be quite dry, too, to
the test of a wiping finger. Rub
bing in every particle of the oil
is one of the greatest essentials
to securing a good oil finish.
Give a similar oil rub to the
furniture once or twice a year,
and the finish will grow more
mellow and beautiful each year.
Despite the durability of an
oil finish, it does sometimes be-
come a bit soft in a very warm
climate or a hot room and loses
some of it's gloss.

Gossip No Cure

And while we are on the sub
ject of lies and gossip, let's con-
slider for a moment the mis-.
take of mothers who implant in
their daughters minds the fear
of being talked about as a means
of keeping their girls straight.
Fear is the poorest Of correc-
tiveS, and the worst foundation
on which to build ones morals.
Self-respect should be the North
Star by which one sets the COM
pass of his daily life; and should
depend on inner integrity, and
not on the things people are
likely to say or write anony-
mouSly about you.
II you tell girl she must be-
have so that no whisper of scan
dial or gossip can touch her daily
life, you're asking the impossible
and very likely you're nipping
in the bud those gifts which de-
pend on spontaneity and origi-
nality.
Shakespeare summed up the
situation in the unforgettable
lines: BE thou as chaste as ice,
rs pure as snow, thou shalt not
escape calumny."

AK Says That Sensible Person Is Indifferent to Gossip
Sugar
Sugar Refined
By Egyptians

There Is a general lack Of in.
formation Of the sources and
characteristics Of the sugar we
use so many times a day. AS q
matter of fact, the name applies
to over 100 substances having
distinct properties and scientific
names, of which the most COM
mon are sucrose or plant sugar,
glucose or corn sugar, fructose
or fruit sugar, and lactose or
milk sugar.
For many years sugar was con-
Sidered a costly luxury. While
apparently the Egyptians first
practiced the art Of refining in
the Eighth century, it was in the
Fifteenth century that a certain
Venetian invented a process for
molding sugar into loaves.
Venice enjoyed a monopoly
for a hundred years or more.
In 1850 the JeSuits introduced
the cultivation Of sugar cane
into Louisiana, where it has
flourished ever since.
We usually think of sugar as
q flavoring, but it can become
a seasoning, too, as many a
chef will testify. That is, the
natural sugars in vegetables
which are lost in proportion to
the time that elapses between
picking and cooking, can be re-
stored by the judicious addition
Of q little sugar. The northern
Europeans add sugar to soups
and gravies, but never in Suffi-
Gent quantities to be noticed.
Can you imagine a cake with
out sugar? Hardly! Sugar is
what makes dough into a cake.
Eggs and shortening play their
part, but it is the sweetness of
the finished product that dis
tlnguiShes a cake from bread.
One word about measuring
sugar. Granulated sugar packs,
so do not shake and tap the
cup, but spoon the sugar into
the cup and level it off. AL.
ways roll confectioners' or brown
sugar before measuring, if there
is a suspicion of a lump. Brown
sugar must be packed solidly in
the cup before leveling.
The two types of sugar most
generally confused are confec-
TONERS and powdered. Confec-
TONERS sugar is a wonderful
time saver for making delicious
icings and froStings without
cooking. Powdered sugar dis
solves instantly in cold drinks
or hot chocolate and cocoa. It
blends perfectly with milk or
cream on cereals and when
sprinkled over fresh fruits, brings
out their flavors to the fullest
degree. When baking a fine
texture cake such as angel food
or sponge. always use powdered
sugar, which requires no Sitting.

Disguised Blessing

said she had been joking, but
the mischief was done for me,
and / feel as if 1 could never
think as much of Ed again. How
could he have believed such
things about me?"
Perhaps it may be a blessing
in disguise when a match is
broken by the acceptance Of
baseleSs and unconfirmed gossip.
What kind of love is a boy or
girl capable of, who will listen
to every chance rumor?
The very foundation of love
is faith, and if the word of a
tale-bearer is accepted at third
hand, the breaking of an en-
gagement with one Of these
ready listeners is not the
calamity it seems.
The world has never known a
man or woman who amounted
to anything, who has not at
some time or other been the sub
ject of petty lies.
Envy, jealousy and malice
are at the root of these base
less charges, human nature
being what it is-half the world

OF course the same fragrance

as you need a white dress one

change of fragrance. Aware
that it is woman's prerogative
