BROWNFIELD FOLLIES OF
1885 DRAWS HUGE CROWD
Wealth of Talent Shown

A large and appreciative au-
dience attended the show of the
Brownfeld Follies at the Halle @.
Brown House recently. Standing
room was at premium; other hum
dreds were unable to enter the
building.
Much of the interest conferred
around the aesthetic genius and
author of the play, the widely
known "Billee Griffin; because Of
the success of last years production
and the expectation of seeing new
talent discovered for the current
offering. Griffin was the exalted
star of the many stars that made
up the cast. Others who rate COM
mendation include: Elmer Harris,
latest "find," Annie Harris and
Kittie Vassar.
The second part opened with
Griffin and a chorus of beautifully
gowned young women who danced
exceptionally well to the music
composed by Don Bonapart.

A.K.A.'s Annual
Affair To Have
French Motif

A glorifed, glamorous taste of
night-life in the Partisan Latin
quarter, a rollicking, hilarious, un-
forgettable impression of French
tourist-cafe-cabaret life is what
members of Eta chapter, Alpha
Kappa Alpha, predict of their
Apache Dance" which will be Civ
en- May "a in Stepka's Como Gar
dens at Western and Como Ave
nues.
All of the highlights of an au-
thentic old French Apache den
will be reproduced: In walls inter
estingly plastered with Rabelaisian
prints, in the haunting strains of a
Creole jazz band, in the novelty
numbers rendered by the floor show
entertainers.
All of the glamor, all of the mys-
terry and the inimitable "esprit de
joie" of many famous French
amusement places will be repro
duced. All of the romance and
fascination of ''Le Moulin Rouge"
lies Folies Bergere," de Rat
Mort" and others viii be incorpo-
rated for one glad, gay, and daring
night. Perhaps someone will dis
cover the identity of the Partisan
Mystery Girl" on that night.
So far, nobody seems to know
just who she is, this mysterious
and alluring creature who will be
one of the star features of the
nights entertainment. Not even
the sorors know how she happened
to be available to add her charms
to the apache Dance"
Some say that she's a glamorous
siren, wearied of Partisan acclaim,
who seeks new diversions in this
country. Others say she's a talent
ed danseuse on French A. w. o. L.
Nobody seems to know. But some
body is sure to find out on the
night of May "a.
Admission to the apache
Dance" will be, as the French
would say, settlement quatre-
vingt sous" or, only twenty-five
cents. Tickets may be purchased
next week from members and
PLEDGES of the sorority.
Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha
heading committees in preparation
for the dance are Myrtle Wormley,
posters; Alice onque, entertain
ment; Alverda Coram, finance;
Thelma Rea Thurston, publicity;
and Helen Hatch, tickets.

ative Wright Patman Of Texas, advo-
vate Of payment of the bonus by in
fiation, when he sought to obtain the
floor during debate on q bonus reso-

The Legion later adopted resolu-
ton renewing its demand for I'M
mediate cash payment Of the bonus.
The convention shouted its approval.
The Texas Congressman, author Of
the bonus imitation bill vetoed by
President Roosevelt, was given a hear
ing. but delegates interrupted him
with frequent catcalls.
Patman's appearance was q few
minutes after the Legislative Com
mittee had recommended immediate
payment Of adjusted compensation
certificates without imitation. When
he said he favored immediate pay
ment of the bonus the delegates
shouted their scorn.
Patman was cheered. however. as he
concluded his argument that the
method Of payment was secondary TO
the main issue. He talked less than
five minutes.
Text Of Resolution.
The resolution adopted by the con-
vention read as follows:
BE it resolved:
"l. We request immediate cash pay
ment of the adjusted service certifl-
Gates at face value, with cancellation
Of accrued interest on loans and re-
fund of interest paid. and do hereby
reafhrm the Miami convention reso-
luton on this subject.
-. We request the immediate ia
vorable action of the Congress and
the approval OF the President OF the
United States, upon this clear-cut and
single issue without having it COM
plicated or confused by other issues Of
Government finance or theories Of cur
rency with which the Legion does not
intend to become involved.

The letter is Of particular interest
here for various reasons. One is that
Democratic members Of the two Houses
are stirred as to the need Of protection
against Japanese importations. An
other Is that thus far complaints Of
members of Congress to Chairman
O'Brien on the question Of Japanese
imports have been given scant back
ing. Recent complaints from the
Middle West on Japanese imports In
other lines have had little effect.
The reports of inroads Of japanese
cotton cloth also gain added interest
here by reason of the fact the Senate

He insists there is a vast
difference between Deirg chairman OF

named:

The first is a joke. The other Is
distinctly impressive. Now chairman

a one-man campaign to get the House
to rebaptize it with the more mouth

Laughs Not Musical.
Every time Mr.. Golden takes walk
around the Capitol he hears a merry
ha-ha from his colleagues bowled over
in laughter at the committees name.
When he sits in the House. his
neighbors elaborate on what Golden
now feels is a very stale gag. 1t has
become very boring.
Golden, a former school teacher,
editor and president of the board Of a
college, became the committee for the
disposition of useless executive papers
in January.
He succeeded Robert Alexis Green
of Florida, who took determined
stand and declared he would have nc
more of it. Golden is willing to have
a lot more of 1t if his colleagues will
retag the committee.
The committee actually does con-
siderable work and can claim the
unusual distinction Of paying its own
way. No other committee can keep
books on its income because there is
