The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-09-02

| It was a mystery play, full Of
original hocus-pocus and eerie
thrills in the dark, with surprise
about every other minute. But
knowing that Thurston sponsored
the play the Poll audience was
inclined to accept it as new tech
nique for the magician and they
laughed at his fun-to-be-fooled dra-
matte tricks, instead Of being
scared to death. Thurston decided
it just wouldn't go, pulled it off
after the tryout washington week.
Since then Seymour Brown has
collaborated with Thurston in re-
writing 1.-THE Demon" The ma
gician thinks it now has the max
ings of a great big hit. He is quit
ting vaudeville for European va
cation, will come back and put
the revamped Demon" into re-
hearsal for q November showing
on Broadway. I hope this time
he pulls a gold mine out Of the
silk hat, for he's a grand old
trouper.
About Peg-Legs
At the Howard Theater this
week is Peg Leg Bates, as agile a
dancer and as clever a step origin
ator as ever thumped a stage. I
have seen him stop the show cold
at Loew's Palace and the Fox just
as the bombardment Of applause
he receives at each show this week
holds UP proceedings on Tee
Street.
Peg Leg-so-called because of
his wooden stump-asks for no
quarter from his two-legged stage
rivals. He can not only do the
ordinary tap routines devised and
timed for normal steppers but his
speciality is original creations in
which the wooden appendage is
as useful as the regulation propel"
Ter.
In the September Esquire
Frank Scully, monopede author,
lists in March Of the Wooden
Soldiers" those bereft Of a limb
who are keeping up front in LIES
parade. Those with but one leg to
stand on who classify as celebri'
ties are:
Laurence Stallings, playwright
and movie author, now in Eth
opia for Fox Movietone.
Peter Freuchen, who wrote the
motion picture Eskimo" and am
putated his own leg in the far
north after it had been frozen.
st. John IRVINE, Irish play
wright and London dramatic critic
who served for a season as guest
critic of the New York World.
Walter Duranty who won the
Pulitzer prize for the best report
ing in 1882 as European CORE
spondent of the New York Times.
Herbert Marshall who draws
$4,000 a week and is a prime ia
vorite as q Hollywood leading
man.

Peg Leg Bates could be added
to this successful living group, as

Johnny spent practically all Of
June and July travelling with his

time lost, however, for whether
the Cardinals get into the world

If the Cardinals should knock off
the Tigers month hence, then
Johnny will probably get a law

Of the Dean-Perkins revue.
Thurston's Play
About five seasons ago Thurs
ton, the magician, turned pro-
Queer. His first play-and his
last one-was called THE Demon"
and provided as wild a first night
at Polls Theater as I have ever
seen.
The trouble was not so much
with 1.-THE Demon" as it was the
fact that Thurston produced it.

Fleet Maneuyers
 Are Gratifying
 ToHigh Command
Fleet Moves Out for Most Exciting Part of Maneuv-
 CTS In North Pacific
tby The Associated Press)

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, May l6 The remarkable precision and in- tricate navigation displayed by the main battle fleet in strategic deploy- ment on it's recent dash across the Pacific from California to Hawaii, was reported to be highly gratify- ing to the high command.
 This first phase of the maneuvers proved to be valuable test of the operation of the high seas battle force between far distant bases, as was the case, and officers indicated and in addition demonstrated the ab- ilites of the worlds most powerful submarine division, and the high success attained by both dread naughts and undersea craft This was amply testified to by the very fact that each division checkmated the operations of the others at some stage on the westward dash, proving the effectiveness of both.

During the period of the Ameri- can Revolution, naval operations were of small proportions and are preserved in such simple accounts as the one stating that the first British flag was hauled down at sea during that conflict, when the sloop Unity, skippered by Jeremiah OBrien, captured the tender Mar garetta off the coast of Maine. At the time of the War of 1872, two or three million dollars sufficed to main tain the dignity of the country up- on the ocean Former-day officials and naval men would hardly know what to do with the 460 millions provided for marine defense in bill now before the House. Likewise, they would not know what to do if a modern battle ship appeared in the offing. Fighting in oyster boats and lumber scows is a thing of the past, but if the men who pop ulate the great ships that the cur rent appropriation will make poss- sible, come up to the standard of courage set by Jerry O'Brien and others of his model, the money will be well expended.

A little while ago bus and a railroad train collided near Wash ington and fourteen were killed. The driver should have stopped before he crossed the track, yet how many waste time by taking that precaution when there is occasion for it in one instance in a thousand? Trains should not run through cities at an open-country clip, but who would put up with railway transportation if the train had to check for every crossing? We must go, and go fast. That being assumed, there remain only the law that two solid bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and the necessity for finding some means whereby that law can be obeyed without check ing speed. Steam, electricity and the triumphS of modern surgery have arrived and caused wonder. There is ground for still greater wonder in the circumstance that

NEW YORK, June 5.-Americans
seem TO be the only persons on
earth who refuse TO discover their

At least th~ree-fourths Of the New
