Rah-Rah For Ethel

Matinee alteration was restored
to it's old-time brilliance yeSter-
day afternoon when several hum
dred gathered around the stage
entrance of the National Theater
to pay tribute to Ethel Barry
more. Nothing like it on E Street
in years.
Sergeant Harrington and a po-
lice detail helped escort the star
to her car where she signed auto
graphs and gracefully acknowl'
lodged the greeting Of loyal fans.
Mostly women, and the majority
had attended her sell-out matinee.
It changed Miss Barrymore's
mind about returning to E Street.
She had refused Manager Coch-
rams pleadings. But after the
reception Queen Eft hel agreed
that a week of 'Declasse," the
most successful play of her career,
was in order. She will play Lady
Helen the week Of June 3 with
the National Players in the sup
porting cast.
Five shows tomorrow and Satur-
day at the Earle Theater. This is
to take care Of the orchestra lead
ers and others who want to hear
Paul Whiteman's band. First stage
performance at 1920 a. m.
Myrt and Marge will be the spe.
cial guests at a sausage and wheat

Club tomorrow morning. The criti-
cal gentry have been invited to

Schools Lose Heavily
AS it now stands, the public

bringing the department up to its
normal standard before enactment
of the economy law. Appropria-

new Pennsylvania Avenue and
Chain bridges were lost in con-
ference.
An item of 100000 for a
bridge over the railroad tracks be-
tween Eighth and Ninth Streets
Northeast, however, was saved.
The bill also retains the House
