GIRL WIFE, BABY.
CHEERLYDDANE
PROSECUTOR
Young 0xIey Bearing Brunt
of Trial, But His WEAKNESS
Is Eased by Cooling Child
By ELIZABETH OLDFIELD

ROCKVILLE, Md, June IS.
Every afternoon about 5 o'clock
strikingly pretty, slender young
girl, cuddling an adorable curly
haired baby in her arms, waits on
the marble steps of the Montgom-
cry county courthouse.
A Stocky. tousle-headed young
man, looking pale and weary,
comes out. The baby gurgles and
reaches out dimpled arms.
The young man takes the child,
who grabs happily at his hair. and
kisses the girl. He is John Oxley,
assistant prosecutor in the case
of the State of Maryland versus
Anne Lyddane. The two who wait
for him each day are his wife
and child.
Brunt of Trial His
Born and raised in Montgomery
county and educated at the Uni
versity of Maryland, John OXley
looks to be about %. Actually he
is IS.
Retained by the State to assist
James H. Pugh, States attorney,
he has, with the exception of the
opening statement, borne the
brunt of this trial.
It was he who croSs-eXamined
"Googy" CARMEL, who mercilessly
hammered at Anne Lyddane's de.
tense as she took the stand in her
own behalf. Ever on the alert, he
has fought the Suave, Shrewd Sted-
man Prescott, defense counsel,
every inch of the way.
Calm in Clashes
He seldom raises his voice. He
conducts his cross-examination
with due consideration for the
witness feeling, but with a. per.
Sistence that smashes the barriers
of flimSy evidence.
He and Mr.. Prescott have
clashed again and again. He
questioned Anne Lyddane gently
chivalrously, refraining from prob
ing into the more intimate details
of her private life. Outside of
trying to prove the defendant had
conSpired with others to kill her
husband, he made no attempt to
shame or embarrass her.
Reared on Farm
The strain of the long hours in
the Stuffy court room and the
work Of preparing the case does
not show on him except when you
look closely. Then you will notice
how dead white his face is-and
the dark circles of fatigue around
his large blue eyes.
Mr.. Oxley has had considerable
experience in criminal procedure,
though for the past three years
most of his work has been in the
civil courts.
He was brought up on a farm.
He admitted with a little smile
that he liked farming-like to see
things grow. He is an excellent
horseman. His chief hobbies are
his baby son, John, jr., aged IL
months; his wife, and farming.

Fireworks Control

NEW YORK, June 15.-Injuries
to the eyes, resulting from Fourth
Of July fireworks accidents, are

BY JAMES ENDICOTT

Three hundred and Sixty.six
days ago this morning Old Man
Washington plunged an eager fist
into his jeans, produced a hard
earned two-bit piece, and with
nuivering nostrils and many a
frenZied whoop hoisted his first
snort of legal liquor in more than
b decade.
Thus, last nights anniversary
OF this epochal event brought on
many a mild dash of celebration
in the Capitals night spots, and
much speculation concerning what
one wet year had done to revive
the Good Old Days when life was
Serenely simple and gra ceful
drinking was mans highest virtue.
Naturally, opinions were divided
and arguments we're rife among
local authorities who mixed them
before the long drought, and are
still at it. But in a few respects
they agreed, as much as any bar
tenders ever agreed about any
thing.
For one thing, said they, it will
be a long time before a generation
that really knows it's wines and
liquors arrives. Even the old
timers, it seems, have suffered
from their prohibition habits, for
getting many of the facts they
once considered so vital.

Cotton Club

Another brand-new revue moved
into the Cotton Club last night,
and like it's predecessors was ex-
cellently received by the large
crowd attending.
The chorus of 10 are all dressed
I'D in new costumes and their
routines are bit more difficult
than ever before. The lights that
are thrown on the girls adds a
great deal to their effectiveness.
Amy Spencer. the titian-haired
fan dancer, continues to please
the crowds with her daring
dances. Dusty Fletcher, the big
feet comedian, has written several
new sketches in which he is fun
nier than ever, and Wade and
Wade, a marvellous tap dance
team. are going over better than
ever.
Vivian Barber. one of the pref
tiest girls in the cast. comes
back to the type of work that
she is best fitted for and her
dramatic monologue is very ef-
fective. Sid Sisko is all dressed
up in new costumes, and she does
several new routines that are

MARYLAND Gardens

The success that Charel de
Thomee, internationally famous
concert pianist, is having at Mary
land Club Gardens proves that
Washingtonians really like good
music and will respond in a big
way.
M. de Thomee's magnetic per.
sonality and pleasing individual
way of singing makes him the
headline attraction at this play
spot on the Marlboro Pike. Fran
Trappe, the ever popular accor-
dianist and Arthur Sharpe, talent
ed young bass fiddler put over the
Tiger Rag in an inimitable fash.
ion. Charles Mayer, versatile
baritone who has been at the
Gardens "a weeks, is a busy boy
these days dashing to his broad
casts and five daily turns at the
Fox Theater.
AS added attraction you will
find the ninble Poppy Snyder, ace
of xylophone artists and Lillian
Lorraine, beautiful dancer, helping
to keep the patrons happy.

flower, it is no sign that the an
niversary celebration is over. In
deed, the crowds which have fire.
quented the lounge during the last
few days seem to believe otherwise.
The lounge still retains that
gala atmosphere and the guests
are in just as festive mood. Sid
ney's orchestra plays all of the
newest numbers, of course, but
their recent innovation-that Of
rendering tunes of decade or so
ago-has become so popular that
it probably will become a perma-
nent feature.
The lounge staff has become a
sort of information bureau, it
seems. The other day, Teddy, re-
nowned headwaiter there, was
noted in deep consultation with
several young ladies, advising
them on European customs. Dip
lomats, too, are apt to be seen at
almost any time, talking over the
Continent and it's affairs with the
so many members of the staff who
have travelled all over the globe.

to headline with popular ballads.

approved style, so popular with
Lotus patrons.

La Paree

Girls, girls and more girls are
the essence of every revue, and
Manager Harry Moy of LIE Paree
must realize this for this week
he has collected one of the most
attractive groups to trod the
floor of this popular dine-dancery.
Don Lester, a very clever mas
ter of ceremonies, has the luck
to introduce the ladies of the en-
semble as they go through their
routines to the tunes of THE
Good Ship Lollipop" and "Any-
thing Goes" two of the latest
songs on the market. Lester joins
the girls and does some intricate
tap numbers with them.
Santino and Leomora. South
American dance team direct from
the Park Central Hotel in New
York are featuring carioca and
waltz as this weeks attraction.
Emory Daugherty and his or
chestra continue to please with
their devastating rhythms and the
featured vocalists, Marie Fowler
and Ray Back, please with their
solos both in the floor show and
on the stand.

Hi-Aat

George Ku and his Paradise
Islanders Hawaiian singers and
instrumentalists - tonight finish
their sixth consecutive week at
Ambassador Hotels Hi-Hat Cafe
and, judging from their popularity,
are good for another term as long
In no small way responsible for
Hi-Hat's constantly large patron
age, the Islanders, among other
things, have created considerable
interest with their song popularity
contest, in which the prize is free
champagne.
If you guess the name Of the
song most often requested of the
entertainers (their speciality is re-
quest musicl you will be the re.
cipient Of the sparkling golden
bubbles from Manager Frank Nc.
Ney. Each night the Hawaiians
record the number of requests for
each song they sing. And they
not only are providing a new
"kick" for Hi-Hat patrons but, in
addition, are to some extent de-
termining what actually is the
leading song of the day.

| Heigh-Ho

Gay times at the Heigh-Ho.
The dance team, which has been
appearing there this week and,
incidentally, created what is known
as a sensation, close, sad to relate,
tonight.
Yves Adams and Lisa are their
names. Their dances-and you
really should try to see them TO-
night-are smooth and graceful
and, in addition, original. Par
ticularly outstanding and IA
vorite with Heigh-Hoers has been
their "paso doble."
For next week Pete refuses to
divulge just what sort of enter
tainment he will offer his guests.
But, rest assured, it will be of the

artists, dancers extraordinary,
have been signed for a five-week

Probably more optimistic thar
most is the Russian Club Troika's
s'George"-in private life Capt
Georgi Andrevitch Bonch-OSmo
lowski-who has been in the head
waiting business ever since the
revolution, and the bane OF whose
existence is the gentle art OF win
ing and dining. Says he:
"Of course, nobody can really
master wines and liquors with.
out making a career of it. That
is why there are head walters.
Everybody, however, can learn
the fundamentals of graceful
drinking, and in my opinion
the new generation, which has
meyer known legal liquor be-
fore, is doing very well.
Probably drinking as it was
practiced will never return.
This is q new era, and it is
quite probable that many old
dogmas concerning liquors are
better forgotten than revived.

instance, is here 20 stay, be-
lieve, as are many other innO-
vatiOns that were never heard
of before prohibition.
Incidentally, in my opinion,
Washington IS far advanced be-
yOnd. any other American city
in its drinking. Before coming
to the TrOika I worked in sew
eral New York dining rooms,
including the Belmont Bar
Cafe, and it is certain that New
Workers have learned far less in
the past year than Washing

To the rescue came Mrs. Caroline

Ridiculous. Says Mrs. Jenckes
Getting her second breath. the
