board. From that day forward
they kept the idea in their act.
Jacks nose-in case you were too
far back to tell-really does touch the
floor, too. He has gathered innu-
merable splinter; thinks nothing of it.
After all, it is an inimitable trick.
And what is a splinter? Jack can re-
member the day he was being swung
high, wide and handsome during a
performance In Lowell, Mass, and his
head banged straight into the corner
of piano placed on stage for the next
act.
That was one of the worst acci-
dents the two boys ever suffered.
Once In Portland, however, both of
them and Miss Gilmore (she has been
with them four years. were badly
crooked. They were doing a finale
with the girl holding onto Earl's
hands, swinging out in back of him
and Jack swinging in front, when the
curtain closed in. Her foot caught in
the drop, and all three plunged pell-
nell into the orchestra pit.

/" EN- years ago roller Skatlng
teams on the vaudeville stage
were a mixture of dance team,
i ice skating technique and
1.-the grace. When one of the
famous combinations of the day as
sayed any adagio whatsoever in its
routine, the acrobatics were modelled
after the easy swings and lifts which
distinguished, for example, the dane
ing of Irene and Vernon Castle.
Perhaps the first team to concen-
trate solely on new type of skating
performance was that of Earl Wood
ward and Jack Brown, two gentle
men who, with a diminuitive girl
partner named Betty Gilmore, were
whirring things up-down at LoeW's
Fox earlier this week. Both Wood
ward Che was the tall blond husky
and Brown (noted for his cigarette
spin) drifted into show business in
pursuit of a hobby. Woodward was
a clerk in a Rochester, N. Y, taxi
company. Brown held an equally
unexciting job in Syracuse.
In the course of his occasional
travels with a skating hockey team
Earl had met Jack Brown over in
Syracuse. They played opposite each
other, became friends and knocked
around town after the matches. When
his job seemed to be on the skids
he mentioned the fact to his new
found friend the next time they met
across the puck.
It'd rather go on skating" he ex-
planned. But how to live?"
Jack said he thought they could
work up an act and play local lodge
meetings, minStrelS and what not.
They decided to try. That was II
years past. Within a year they were
off on a minor circuit booking. From
that time on they never parted.
But to revert to the novelty of
their technique. AS they were both
rather sturdy-looking boys, they did
not believe themselves suited to the
airy style of stage skating. There
fore they stressed the acrobatic angle,
evolving stunts wherein Jack hung
by his heels from Earl's neck while
the latter spun like a top, wherein
Earl held Jack by one hand and
spun him far and wide in a series
of swooping arches. Their most
famous trick was evolved accidentally.
They were working on routine in
which Jack was to lock his feet
around Earls neck, they would go
into their spin and Earl would grad
ually bend his knees until he had
dropped to a squatting position. Jack,
straight out as rod and making
about 70 r. %. m. would be only q
few inches from the floor.
One day in the middle Of this little
WOW, Earl started laughing. He
laughed and laughted, and couldn't
summon the energy to stand up again.
Evening star., 1935-01-09

No performance OF the year mas
been punctured with such dignity.
Miss Christians every word comes
straight from the shoulder, straight
from the heart and goes straight into
the audiences heart. Women present
at yesterdays first performance (and
it was heartening to see that there
were so many of them) bawled copi-
ously into their handkerchiefs. A trib-
ute to a really splendid actress, we
hope few of those tears have been
sent to Hollywood!
The supporting cast is excellent and
gives that horrid little boy, Jackie
Searle, an opportunity to prove that
he can be nice, too. He's an amazingly
able actor for youngster. And
M-G-M was wise in spotting Charles
Bickford opposite Mady (don't forget

MOTORS LEAD THE WAY

The automobile shows of the win

which you can estimate the volume
Of business activity for the coming
year. At the New York show. which
gives an early indication of the ups

this years reports were highly ia
vorable. It would. not be surprising
If the attendance at such should
break all records.
The automobile industry increased
production in 1884 by As per cent
over 1888. The 1885 production will
probably increase still further.
This great line Of business is like
ly to furnish the power that will
pull the country out Of the rut. The
people demand automobiles, and
when the old bus wears out, they
are simply determined to have
new one, if it takes the last cent in
their jeans. Some people consider
that spirit extravagant. But it keeps
money in circulation.
Half our families consider an auto
mobile as an essential of life, sec
ond only to food and clothing, and |
not much secondary to those neces-
saries either. They do not see how
they can exist without a car. 1t has
been predicted for several years

THE FARM CENSUS

Twenty-Five thousand enumerators

districts. gathering the facts from
farmers needed for'the United States
census. Every farmer has. to ans
wer 100 questions. Uncle Jehosha-
phat may wonder what the govern

tion. Uncle Sam wants. TO know
what all his farmers are doing, A
business can't expect to prosper un-
less. it takes account Of stock an
nually, and the farm business also
needs a regular inventory.
1t often seems as II our census
collected too much information. so
that it takes a very long time to
have have it classified and tabu-
lated. But the restoration of farm
prosperity is one Of the first objec-
tives the country has in view, and to
accomplish that we must have figures

EXERCISING THE DOG

An enterprising service in New
York City announces that it will
walk dogs daily or more frequently,
for a certain amount per month.
The problem of exercising the dog
exists in many congested cities. Out
on the farm the dog walks himself.
His rounds as inspector of wood
chuck holes and barker at automO-
biles give him the exercise he needs
for his health and spirits.
But when you move into a city,
and live on a narrow lot or in an
apartment house, the problem Of
giving Fido his exercise becomes a
pressing one. His irritation at re-
straint may become so intense that
he jumps on strangers and terrifies
callers. People buy dogs to please
their children, and then the kids are
too busy to see that Tower
gets his exercise. If you turn him
loose, the first automobile may get
him. 1t seems harsh on a dogs
buoyant spirits, to deny him the
walks that are the breath of life to
him.

A SIGN OF PEACE

The premier of Italy and foreign
minister of France have signed an
agreement relating to vexed ques-
tions of Italian expansion in Africa,
also providing for the independence
Of Austria, which France considers
necessary to European peace. It is
good news that these nations seem
to be shaking hands instead Of fists.
Such an item of news may seem
remote from our lives. But It is not.
When the heir to the Austrian throne
was assassinated in far away Sara
ievo, the upheaval that resulted drew
the United States into the World
War, and we have paid a terrible
price for that experiment. Every
time European powers quarrel, the
war spectet moves nearer our homes.

THE TREATY GOES

1t was with deep regret that the
American people learn that the Jap
anese government has given notice
that the Washington treaty which
limited naval armament, will not be
renewed when it expires, December
81, 1886.
That treaty gave Japan, with its
population concentrated in a mar
row location. ample protection, and
our country would have spent hun
dreds Of millions of dollars more.
If it had not been for that treaty.
And no pawer has attacked Us be-
cause Of failure to build the ships
we might have constructed. But the
fact that the treaty goes does not
mean war, though it means that the
United Staes mus have adequate pro-
lection. Some day the nations will
wake up and see that the best safe
guard against war is not found in
guns but in friendship.

COMMrNITY SELE HELP

The old prOverb has it that God
helps those that help themselves. ~
1t applies to communities as well
as to persons. A good many people
are always looking for some pros
perlty to come to them from outside,
or from the efforts ,of people other
than themselves. They fail to con
slider the things they can do 10 make
a community more prosperous.
There are two things that every
body can do to promote the progress
Of his home town. The first thing
is to spend his money at home. The
second is to keep his home place in
perfect order. II he hasn't the
money to repair it as he would like
to, he can at least clean up every
particle of refuse. and 1t will cost
him little when summer comes 10
beautify it with flowers.

THE CONTROL OE OIL.

Oil is one of the most precious re-
sources Of our country. More and
more the people depend upon. it for
their industries, their homes, and
their transportation. For ages the
powers of nature have been storing
up in the dark places of the earth,
this marvellous source of power. AS
the United States is producing 20
per cent of the worlds total output
Of oil, these marvellous supplies con-
stitute one Of the richest gifts ever
made to any nation.
Congress will soon be asked to
pass law to regulate the interstate
shipment of oil, taking the place Of
the statute declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court. The govern
ment should have full power to pre-
vent excessive production of this
vital resource, so as to postpone as
long as possible the day when these
riches shall be depleted.
