HOLLYWOOD dNsJ.-Bela
Lugosi, the film star, nearing
the third year of his marriage
to his present wife, is certain
he has found the secret Of sue
cessful marriage and that he
won't be joining the Gables and
other Hollywood divorce couples.
Success, he declares, depends
entirely upon the woman. 1t is
up to her to get along with the
man and If she Is unable or
unwilling to do so, marriage
plays to an empty house"
The actor bases his conclusions
on experience. He has been mar
ried four times. His first was
to Ilona Szmik, a Budapest
society girl. 1t ended after two
years.
His second, in New York, was
to Iona Won Montagh, a Hun
garian actress. They lived to-
gether for only two weeks.
His third, at Redwood City,
Cal, was to the wealthy society
matron, Mrs. Beatrice Weeks,
widow Of the famed San Fran
cisco architect, Charles Peter
Weeks. That marriage lasted
only four days.
His present wife, the former
Lillian Arch, a Los Angeles girl,
married her boss. She was

Trudi Schoop Ballet.
WILLIAM A. ALBAUGH, Baltimc

WILLIAM A. ALBAUGH, Baltimore
impressario who established his
series of three dance attractions for
Washington with the "sell-out" local.
" Of the Ballet Russo few weeks ago,
announces the art of Trudi Schoop,
who comes with her Comic Ballet jan
uary II for first performance in the
National Capital, to be totally diff
ferent.
"Trudi Schoop's company is known
as a Swiss Ballet" said Mr.. Albaugh
the other day, "and it differs radically
both from the traditional art of Rus
sian ballet and also from the pres
ent-day forms of modern dance
which go in for angular symbolisms.
To put it colloquially, the art Of Trudi
Schoop gets down TO the brass tacks
of daily life. Instead of painting ideal
lied canvases or delving into the
Smouldering receSes Of the soul, this
new art form etches joyful caricatureS
of man in his everyday, human con-
facts with the world"
| European critics and Americans who
have seen Trudi Schoop's work in all
/ the capitals of Europe in previous
| seasons persistently have lkened her
art to that of Charlie Chaplin. Like
Chaplin, Trudi Schoop shows the
meek and innocent waging their small
| battles in the world and dreaming
dreams. She achieves this through the
comic spirit in a manner that never
wounds or insults.
Trudi Schoop has a company of %
| dancing actors who help her put on
her self-created nce-comedies. She
herself is in her middle twenties, with
| silver blond hair, blue eyes and
strong, admirably trained physique
which makes her the epitome of en-
ergy and health.
| Mr.. Albaugh presents Miss Schoop
and her ballet in a program of comic
dance pantomimes at the National
Theater Sunday. January IL. at $50
/ pm. Reservations can be made at the
4 National Theater box Office.

lust 90 years ago today, or on De-
cember IS. 1886, occurred one Of
the most disastrous fires the Govern
ment has yet suffered in Washington.
This was the burning of the old
Blodget Hotel building, which then
stood on the north side of E street
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
It was then occupied by the Post
Ofice Department, the City Post Of1ce
and the Patent Office.
This building. which had been saved
from the British torch in 1914 through
the plea of DR.. William Thornton be-
cause of the valuable patent models
it then contained, was completely
Quilted and little saved of its wonder
full collection illustrating the inventive
genius of America from the earliest
days Of the Republic. Only the walls
of the building were left standing,
and the Government branches it
housed had to seek temporary quar-
ters elsewhere Later, the Post Of1ce
Department returned to this site, when
the building, still there. was ready
for occupancy, and the Patent Office
subsequently moved into the building
it only recently vacated, in the block
bounded by F, G, Seventh and Ninth
streets.
Indeed, during its existence the
Government has lost records to the
value of millions of dollars through
its many fires. How much more salts
factory and cheaper it would have
been to have erected an archives build

But passing over this unpleasant incl

to the Treasury fire of March 30, 1888,
when as much damage, if not seven
more, was done through an act of in
cendiarism as was done by the British.
The loss of valuable papers was unusu-

able Revolutionary War documents
were destroyed. especially those re-

nUT of this investigation arose the
~ suspicion that Richard White and
his brother Harry were the ones who
set fire to the building, for the \pur-
pose, it was believed, of destroying
certain papers on file in the Treasury
Department. The former was tried
four times and finally acquitted be-
cause of the statute of limitation. The
case was prosecuted by J. R. Key, son
of Francis Scott Key, author of THE
Star Spangled Banner" and defended
by r. j. Brent. The first trial took
place in December, 1886, and a local
newspaper carried the following ref
erence to the case:
Trial of Richard H. White for
arson in setting fire to the Treasury
Department in Washington City on
the 30th of March, 1888.
'"The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
He is well looking man, between SO
and 40 years of age, with an intelli-
gent countenance. His hair is very
dark, almost black, and rather curly.
He has whiskerS and dark eyebrows.
His complexion is rather pale. He
was gentleelly dressed in bottle green
frock coat and a fashionable black
velvet waiStcoat and black stock. His
wife and wife's mother sat by his side.
The prisoners wife is a hand
some woman and said to be very INTEL
ligent.
"The district attorney opened the
case and said it would be proved that
the prisoner, who was man of edu-
cation, had made use of chemical
preparations for the firing of the
building and its contents. It would
be proved that he took house in this
city and brought on his furniture and
other goods from New York some time
before the burning of the Treasury
Department"
Harry White was convicted of the
crime of arson on January 16. 1897,
and new trial was asked for but
denied, and the prisoner sentenced to
10 years Imprisonment, but was later

record flight last month, that 1t IS
possible to fly successfully any balloon
which can withstand the stresses of
filling and rigging"
Two previous stratosphere flights
sponsored by the society and the Air
Corps failed because of the inability
of the acres of fabric in the balloon
bag to Withstand the stresses Of filling
and operation. The second Of them,
last July, failed because the giant bal
loon bag burst while being filled.
The bag Of the Explorer II also
narrowly escaped destruction while
being filled Capt. Stevens reported
that while the filling was in process
the gas became trapped in folds Of
the fabric and set up such strains
that a 17-foot slit was torn in the
great bag. Two hours of frantic
work by the ground personnel, involv
ing the application of an emergency
patch 20 feet long by feet in width
made possible the successful flight.
The magnitude of the task of
handling and filling the bag of the
Explorer II may be realized when 1t
is recalled that more than three acres
of fabric composed the giant gas cell
and that this fabric alone weighed
some 5000 pounds With the excep-
tion of the Explorer I. the Explorer
II was larger by four times than any
other balloon ever flown.
"Our flight of November II was in
effect a service testing Of the strato-
sphere balloon of this giant type" /"
| Capt. Stevens explained. The flight
| proved that balloons of this size
! can be successfully flown and that
the limiting factor is not size but
material"
Whether further exploratory flights
into the stratosphere will be under
taken will depend to a large extent
upon the results of the scientific
studies now being made of the great
quantities Of material collected by
Stevens and his pilot, Capt Orvil A.
Anderson, during their flight to an
altitude of 72,365 feet. More than
5000 Photographic films, hundreds Of
instrument readings. air samples and
other material contain the real record
of the Armistice day flight. and the
full deciphering and analysis of this
record will require weeks or months
of study.
The technique Of handling the
great balloons necessary for laboratory
work in the stratosphere, however,
now is fairly well known and the
personnel will be ready when and if
the time comes for another attempt,
it was indicated.

THE end of the story is sad. PerSe-
cuted by her husband with
threats to take her child from her,
threats which were finally carried out,
Nancy lost her once brilliant faculties.
She lived on. sad existence that can
hardly be called a life, to become an
old woman. Her "Leander" had re-
turned to France. Her daughter had
been taken from her. Her father was
dead. The brilliant young belle stayed
on in the family home. almost like a
ghost. In 1841 she died. And SO ends
the journal Book"
The connection between the Shippen
and Lee families. it should be said,
was through Nancy's mother, who was
Alice Lee. The old home on Locust
street is still standing, though the
neighborhood now grown shabby.
Portraits of Nancy's father and brother
by Stuart are on exhibition in the Ma
tional Museum, loaned by DR.. and Mrs.

books that one finds hard to associate

became another mans wife, are more
than eloquent testimony to the depth
of his feeling for the pretty young
American.
To him Nancy refers at first roman
tically and tnen sadly as "Leander." !"
Secretly she phghted her troth with
him. At this time Col. Livingston was
her foremost Suitor. Comte de Mosloy
was a handsome young nobleman-but
poor. Col. Livingston was one Of the
wealthiest men in the United States,
and Nancy's father was a man of the
world. Circumstances such as these
were beyond her control. Her parents
will prevailed. She broke her troth
to her romantic "Leander" and mar
ried the rich New Yorker.
The marriage was not happy and
Nancy finally fed, taking her young
daughter with her, back to her parents
home. In all the distressing events
which led up to her departure. she
had the council of "Leander" who sent
her secretly many letters full of advice
and expressions Of devotion. He re-
manned her friend showing her unend-
ing proof of the depth of his feeling
for her.
