Thomas LOUe Peacock

Oh! say not woman heart is bought
With vain and empty treasure.
Oh! say not woman's heart is caught
By every idle pleasure.
When first her gentle bosom knows
Loves flame it wanders never;
Deep in her heart the passion glows
She loves, and loves for ever.
Ohi say not womans false fair,
That like the bee she ranges
Still seeking flowers sweet and rare
As tickle fancy changes.
All no. the love that first can warm
Will leave her bosom never;
No second passion eer charm,
She loves, and loves for ever.

HOOVER FLAYS
POLITICS, TO
POLICE

Charging that political interfer-
ence, ''boon-doggling" theories and
lax systems of prosecution are
hampering law enforcement, J.
Edgar Hoover, Oman chief, today
sent the 26 graduates Of the first
National Police School home to
their local offices armed with
diplomas Of proficiency in Federal
methods.
In his valedictory remarks to
the State, county and local police
men, Mr.. Hoover charged:
"The police forces Of this
country too long have been the
dumping ground of every ward
heeler and hack politician.
"Why, one nit-wit politician
has gone so far as to lodge
charges against one of the pO-
lice officials in this graduating
class because he is attending
this school"
Mr.. Hoover told the graduates
they represented the new ideal of
hard work and intelligence, de-
claring:
1--WE must get away from the
false whiskerS and ShOO-shOO at
titude of the old school. We
must make police work a career
one to which young men can
look forward with PRIDE"
Turning to the failure Of crime
conferences to live up to expecta-
tions, Mr.. Hoover asserted:
"Many Of these crime confer
ences have begged down because
Of wild-eyed theorists, overflow.
ing with academic lore and book
learning, who seek to apply to
law enforcement the methods
Of the bOOn-dOggler."
The parole systems of the coun-
try are failing, Mr.. Hoover as
serted, because of the interference
Of parole "Sob-Sisters." He added:
'T'm in favor Of parole, but 1
object when the system turns
loose criminals who have no
place in society,""
Attorney General Homer Cum
mingS told the graduates they rep
resented a vivid expression of
what can be accomplished by in
telligent cooperation.
Others who congratulated the
graduates were Andrew Kava-
naugh, Miami police chief and
president of the International AS.

ent Edward J. Kelly, of the Rhode

AS master of style and mechanical
f1uency Heifetz has no equal. In
fact, one wonders what remains for
future generations to discover when
there is already such perfection in
finger and bow technique coupled
with a superf1ne musicianship. As a
wonderland, Heifetz brought tears to
the eyes Of old musicians with his un-
canny ability, and as man he still
magnetizes an audience Of sophisti-
Gated judgment. Today he stands as
the epitome of the art of the violin
in both his superb technical develop
ment and perfect command Of form.
AS the years have progressed, Hell
fetz has gained much in warmth Of
feeling, to such degree, in fact. that
it dominates him in a way difficult
to restrain. With this new found
human outlook he approaches even
the classics sometimes. overstepping
the boundry OF the just measure in
the surge of his feeling and q real
Joy in his own power. But again he
brings compensation in exquisitely
refined taste and an inherent sense
of values. Through this he is able
to individualize a composition in the
manner the composer intended and
there is no limit to his adaptability
in this respect.

a bit its spiritual character. The
seldom played Scherzo was a pure
delight under the incredible fleetness
Of his execution. The same clarity
and .incandescence that no amount

into the Chaconne, although the tenn
permental color of his reading might
be debatable.

Bach's aria on the G string" and
Debussy's prelude" from "L'Enfant

music assigned to Carmen herself, was
more perfectly sung as to tempera-
mental color and accentuated rhythm
than any known interpreter of the
role has been able to present.
Emanuel Bay was a splendid ac-
companist, a difficult accomplishment
when the artist has the penchant for
speed which Mr.. Heifetz possesses.

customary demand for encores brought

eral Weeks.

There is one performer in burlesque
who can obtain the vote any day as
ranking right with the four or five
most attractive feminine stars of the
legitimate stage or the screen. This,
of course, would be Ann Corio, bur-
leSQue'S beautiful and popular star,
appearing at the Gayety this week as
the added attraction with "Hi-De-Ho
Girls" which in itself and apart from
Miss Corio is one of the best the In
dependent Burlesque Association has
sent through here in many weeks.
When Ann steps through the cur
tains she moves about the stage with
grace and flowing motion. No wild
contortions for Ann.
In addition to Miss Corio there Is
even more feminene beauty in raven
haired Lola Pierce, who plays a guitar,
dances and looks even more attractive
than when she last was here; Betty
Roland, who has little to do other
than look pretty, which, however,
she does exceeding well, and Lola
Bartram and Sally O'Day, comparing
favorably with the rest of the cast.
The comedy Is provided by such ia
vorites as Gene Schuler, Frank Penny,
Eddie Bisland, Connie Ryan, Eddie
Innes and Coo-Coo Morrisey, and
most of it is above par. Mr.. Ryan
does the singing in the ballet numbers.
Nearly every one of these above
named performers at some time or
other contributes an interlude which
stops the show.
"Hi-De-Ho Girls" also has the bene-
fit Of attractive and tasteful staging
and effective lighting and certain Of
the ballet numbers are exceptionally
good, being performed by one Of the
two or three choruses on the I. B. A.
