~ SUFFERED WITH
CONSTIPATION FOR
SIXTEEN YEARS"
Then ALL-BRAN Brought
Relief to Mr.. Mcneil

We quote from his unsolicited
letter: "I suffered with constipa-
ton" for 16 years. Finally, I started
using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN in con-
nection with other nourishing foods.
"I consider myself we'll man at
this time, not having had an attack
for over two years. I am sure ALL
BRAN helped wonderfully by over
coming constipation" Mr.. L. M.
Mcneil, Lockwood, W. Va.
+ConstipGtion due to insufficient
"bMLk" IN meals.
Tests show Kellogg's ALI-BRAN
provides gentle 'bulk" to aid elimi-
nation. Also vitamin B and iron.
This "bulk" resists digestion bet
ter than the fiber in fruits and
vegetables, so it is more effective.
ALL-BRAN continues to get results
when used for months.
Isn't this food safer than risking
patent medicines? Two tablespoon
fuls of ALL-BRAN daily are usually
sufficient. If seriously constipated,
use with each meal. See your doc
tor, if you do not get relief.
Use as a cereal with milk or
cream, or in cooking. Sold
by all grocers. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.

LEAVE GERMAN
DISPUTE ALONE,
SAYS P|TTMAN
international News Service

international News Service
A blunt warning to the United
States to stay completely out Of
the European controversy over the
re-arming of Germany was voiced
today by Senator Key Pittman
CD of Nevada, chairman Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Senator Pittman advised the
Government against even sending
a protest to Germany. He pointed
out the United States was not in
Volved in the controversy, had no
obligations to perform under any
treaty and would do nothing even
if Germany treated the protest
with contempt.
Mr.. Pittman declared it was
none of Americas business what
Germany did under the Versailles
treaty, since the United States was
not party to that treaty. He
said:
''The controversy now raging
between France, Great Britain
and Italy on one side and Ger
many on the other, primarily
arises from the prOnOuncement
of Hitler that Germany will
build up its military strength
to such a point as it deems
necessary for its protection.
France, Great Britain and
Italy contend that the carrying
out Of such a program by Hit
Ter would be a violation Of the
military provisions of the Yer
saiIles treaty. That treaty pro.
vides that such disputes, which
threaten war, may be submitted
to the council Of the League
of Nations for determination.
"The controversy in no way
whatever involves the separate
treaty of peace between the
United States and Germany.
This separate treaty does not
provide for the submission Of
such disputes to the League Of
Nations"

a charming and unique reminder Of
the gilt and red plush era in theater
decoration.

Cassidy, who built the theater. Many
o: Mr.. Wilson's ideas and suggestions

teachers Of dramatic art made their
theatrical debuts on the stage Of the
Odeon, while they were students at
National Park Seminary. Among
them are Margaret Lindsay. at pres

Glinpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

TN WATCHING Steve Evans act at
l. the Earle Theater this week, you
NAV wonder why so versatile an i'm
personator should choose to dwell long
upon the imitation Of soused Polak
whooping it up on pay day. The truth
of the matter is that Evans has
sneaking fondness for the character
he Is portraying, type he knew In
less fortunate days when he himself
worked in the soft coal mines Of In
diana.
The son of a coal miner, Evans
worked underground in his childhood,
had leg and an arm broken in two
accidents before he was Is. He de-
cided to get out of that business while
he was still in one piece, and went to
Detroit to work in an automobile fac
tory. When business slackened, he
drifted to Chicago, tried his hand at
interior decoration or any odd job he
could get. In both cities he had
chased about somewhat with amateur
entertainers, merely for the diversion.
He had learned to do a few comedy
dances and pull a gag properly. In
Chicago there came time when he
had nothing left but those tricks and
20 cents in cash between him and
starvation. With a couple of friends
he invaded a downtown joint, put on
q variety act. They collected $36 and
Steve was given job in the place.
He stayed more than year.
In the three and one-half years
since he has danced and done an
imitation Of Joe e. Brown In unit
headed by Betty Compson, tripped of
to Australia for vaudeville tour, and,
after the Compson incident, turned
from dancer into impersonator. He has
II limitations in his repertoire, ranging
from John D. Rockefeller to Lon
CLANCY In o horrible mood. He will
not attempt to impersonate any one
unless he believes it possible for him
to screw his features around into an
actual facial resemblance. Oddly
enough, he can look like Rockefeller,
will Rogers, CLANCY, Joe Brown or
Mussolini with the greatest of ease.
Says his favorite is the Rogers num-
Der, because viii is the hardest man
In America to initiate. Reason Is
that it's tough to relax completely
while standing before an audience,
and that is the essence of Rogers
manner. His ambition, Of course, is
to become a character actor In legit.
Is reading a play now, but thinks the
part too gabby. After watching that
Chaney mimicry, we'd say he could
scare Karlon and Lugosi into g at If
Hollywood would give him chance.

Dance Skill
IsShown by
Local Group
Three Types Appear
in Bekef-D Delaporte
Studio Program.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.
THE Bekef1-Deleporte Studio Of the
dance provided the program for
yesterdays Sylvan Theater concert,
preceded by a number of selections
played by the Washington Gas Light
Co. Employees Band under the direc-
ton of Otto Siebenstein.
The three departments Of this
school Of the dance, ballet, acrobatic
and tap, were well represented by
group of expertly trained students.
Most of them showed their versatility
in each dance division, which gives as
complete a bodily training as one
could desire. Several Of the dancers,
such as Ronnie Cunningham, Lila Ia
lipsky, Margaret Edmonston, Virginia
Barry, Susan Hall and Walter Doe,
are very near the professional class,
and already combine in good measure
a technical control and personal in
terpretive feeling.
The first two numbers on the pro-
gram were taken from Tschaikowsky's
'Nutcracker Suite,'' the charming
Snowflake Ballet" danced by a group
of dainty pupils in the traditional
ballet tarlatan. In the 'Nutcracker
Ballet" solo moments were danced by
Virginia Barry as Noel" and the Fee
Dragee," Margaret Edmonston In o
'Danse de bouffant" and the "Danse
des Mirletons," duet by Ronnie Cum
ningham and Lila zalipsky. The babies
of the school, Boofie Barry, Dorothy
Goodman, Josephine Prather and
Phyllis Schwartz, duplicated their
former successes in a "Valse." George
Filgate was the 'Nutcracker," Crystal
Tardy, the Princess" and Phyllis
Schwartz, the Herald" The ballet
was staged and directed by Theodore
Bekefi.
The outstanding number on the pro-
gram was De Falla's "Danse Rituelle
de Feu," scleverly visualized by Maurice
Deleporte, whose acrobatic presenta-
ton of "Shiva, God Of Fire." was q
perfect rhythm of bodily movement.
Ann Filgate, Margaret Edmonston,
George Filgate and Milton Schwartz
were excellent as the "worshippers,
while Ronnie Cunningham as the
sacrifice" made an appealing figure.
Susan Hall and Walter Doe carried
away the honors In tap dancing, as
devised by Billy Lytell, their IDOL
dance" and rhythm" bringing them
out several times in response to spe-
cial appreciation Of the audience. A

At Roadside
''To Die at Dawn" Is
Melodrama to Win
MelloWest Mind.

A LII Summer long they have been
- doing right by Little Nell, in
one way or another, out at the Road
side Theater this year, but that
maligned and mistreated lass has sell
dom been accorded such royal treat
ment, dramatically speaking, as she
received at the opening of ITO Die at
Dawn" A ponderous melodrsma Of
the evil-will- -get-it-in-the-n
tually school, the Roadsider's latest
production proved an apt vehicle last
night and they took it for beautiful
ride.
The predominant figure in ITO Die
at Dawn" is villain named George
Drake Harold Stepler), who may
have been cad at heart, but when
they shot him just before the final
curtain last night they shot the best
actor on the stage. No one had the
slightest desire to have the play go
on without his somber, magnificent
skullduggery.
While he had sent the boometer to
new heights half a dozen times dur
ing the evening, and could not even
ask for his breakfast without evoking
q storm Of Kisses from the audience,
that ripe blackguard, Drake, really
embodied the whole vitality of the
play within his cursed frame.
The fact he bull-whipped q young
lady Of virtue, and once tried to grind
her into so much pious sausage in a
griSt mill, did not exactly endear him
to the crowd in the old Montgomery
County barn. He never figured to
win popularity contest by cracking
the skull Of doddering old gentle
man, or blackmailing the Governor of
Kentucky, but undeniably he had one
Of the most lyric dirty laughs heard
since the days of Dion Boucicault,
and it is a well-known fact that a
melodrama audience loves its heh-
heh-heh.
Mr.. SteplerS version Of the scala
wag's iniquities won our undivided sup
port for the vernal seasons best per-
formance. He was clumsy gun
man, and he occasionally jammed his
runber dagger so close to victims
ribs that 1t bent double in his hands,
but those touches only heightened the
splendid idiocy Of the entire evening.
The stupendous Stepler had to be
good to outshine his closest competi-
tor, William Phillips, whose mining
as a suffering pumpkin was the Sec
Ond high mint of fIa show
Ralph Fowler was also in the race
with his Interpretation of a ducky
and slightly daffy detective, and
Thomas Cahill refused to stay down
after he had been murdered for his
kindly playing of DR.. John Lanyon.
He came back again as the Governor
of Kentucky, wearing a handsome
julep mustache, which he wsggled
satisfactorily.
Miss Elinor Cox Karsten Charles A
Bell and John Hasler are to be placed
next on the honor roll, while the re-
mainder Of the cast, handicapped by
nobility and the trite poignancy OF
nineteenth century love, seemed
mildly, inadequate.
The settings by Edith Allen, Doro-
thy Croissant's costumes and Anton
Hardt's direction were thoroughly
pleasing and far more consistent than
the story, which, If the truth be
known, had more holes in it than q
rich old Swiss cheese.
