They re Cold Here
Reluctantly, I am forced to ad-
nit that Washington is a cold
town when it comes to applause.
Almost every vaudeville artist
says so and George M. Cohan
only last season told me that au,
diences for ONeill's "Ah Wilder
ness" didn't respond as whole
heartedly to its humors as did
playgoers assembled in other juris-
dictionS.
Nevertheless, remained a
doubter but gradually my opinion
is coming around to the actor
point Of view. Little journeys to
Baltimore on Saturday afternoons
have convinced me. The Major

The only sculptured bust OF
Will Rogers to be made in the
last IS years years reposes all OF

loved humorist now appears in

the worlds famous.
Professor Durig explains that

John N. Garner was sitting for
him, he met the famed humorist,
a close friend of the Gamers.
won't you come to my studio
and sit for me-" Durig asked.
Sure" was the reply.
"He sat for three hours for this
bust" explains Durig, "but ]
doubt if actually worked one
hour for he joked so much"

more than two years Long was
one Of the two or three leading
news characters, in American
eyes. On the other hand, Will
Rogers was without doubt the
bestowed American clown and
household name. His death
pOignantly played on national
emotions. His loss was by all
odds more keenly felt by the
average citizen, especially WON"
en- and children. For practical
newspaper purposes, think 1
should have had two identical
banner announcements, with
Long on top, in any newspaper
published outside of California.
The circumstances surround
ing both deaths were almost
equally dramatic. The question
then comes in which national
figure was there greater interest,
who was the more widely known?
l say Will Rogers, whose all en-
bracing audience included news
paper readers, radio listeners, the
largest known screen following
and lovers of the stage. Senator
Long was a towering figure in
the world of politics, a subject
that was of major Importance
chiefly with those of voting age.
The Rogers contact with his pub
lie was more intimate and per-
sonal, included children, and eX-
tended, via the screen, over the
world.
Senator Long was an agitator
who stirred the furies, thrived on
controversy, held the headlines
chiefly as a trouble-maker. Will
Rogers bequest to the world was
logic and laughs, which may still
be enjoyed. The world is yet
we'll populated with trouble-mak-
ers. But where will it find an
other Will Rogers. And who did
the world need most?
Stars Are Coming
Washington is threatened with
an October visitation of screen
stars. For Warner Bros. will
practically empty their studios to
see that Midsummer Nights
Dream" gets off to a mile-amin-
ute start in its first tWo-a-day,
reserved seat showings.
Vice President Jack Warner will
lead the cavalcade of celebrities
coming from Hollywood in a
special Pullman caravan. They
will stop off for five hours at Chi
cago to greet critics and states
men and make them Shakespeare
screen conscious. Then, on to
Broadway, where the picture has
its national premiere on October
9 with the stars and Director Max
Reinhardt making a personal ap-
pearance on the stage of the HoI
lyWood Theater.
After the New York ballyhoo
the flicker great will linger in the
East for a week and. unless I miss
my guess, during that time they
will be detoured down Potomac
way to stir the Washington multi
tude. since midsummer Nights
Dream" opens at the National
Theater in late October.
Those scheduled to take the Oc.
tober Dream" ride are: James
Cagney, Joe E. Brown, Dick Pow

RARE PAINTINGS
 FOUND IN UTICA

Ltica, N. r., (UP)--Discovery Of a fine painting, believed to be the work of an 18th or 17th century French or Italian master, was dis closed here recently when Frank E. Gualillo, manager of a real es- tate agency. rejected a handsome offer for the work of art.
 The painting was found in the ruins of the Louis Lawrence resi- dence by a workman when the re- mains of the structure were being raZed. Gualillo purchased the painting from the workman for n nominal sum.
 After the dirt and grime were removed it was found that the painting was in an almost perfect state of preservation, depicting Tn unusual colors a lovely woman and beautiful child, picking grapes from a vine. The signature on the painting either was removed, or could not be restored in the clean ing process.
 The woman's features are Latin, and experts from Syracuse and New York city believe thepaint- ing to be the work of French or Italian master. It was estimated the painting was more than 200 years old.
 Gualillo reports he has had sev- eral offers from art agencies to place the painting on exhibition for sale.

'sHow'n I answer THAT?"

New York k.-Approximately B. 100000 school children ill the United States-one-e eighth of the entire school population - arc handicapped in their education by defective eyesight, 1t is disclosed in the report of a joint committee of the National Education association and the American Medical associa- ton cooperating with the National Society for the Prevention Of Blindness.
 Farsightedness is the most com mon visual defect among American school children, according to the report, prepared under the direc- fion of Dr Thomas D. Wood of Co., lumbia University and published to-day by the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness with the title Conserving the Sight of School Children" Astigmatism is next in frequency, and nearsighted, mentioned are cross-eyes and in- hammation of the eyelid lining.
 Although the report recommends that the school should assume the primary responsibility, for giving dtlCitlOh lO lhO cyC health of children, It urges par ents to learn what the school is doing in sight conservation and how they may cooperate in the home. The report says, further, that "it is not necessary that the school should furnish all the ser- vice required in the discovery and correction of the visual defects of AL l.n secured from professional health organizations, family physicians, community health centers or else where.
 Hindrancc to Health
 "The importance of good eye sight among school children can. not be overestimated. We have come to recognize that defective vision or disease in the eyes of the child not only may have detri- mental influence on his school progress, but may react upon his general health and upon his ad- justment to his school, his play mates, and even to his family. This recognition has given new impetus to the work of discovering and cor recting visual defects among chill dren, beginning with the pre- school age.
 "The farsighted child is not usually discomforted by seeing at a distance. It is the close eye work that distresses him. The printed page which the normal eye reads without undue muscular strain at distance of IA inches may appear alternately blurred and clear to the farsighted child If the farsighted is pronounced, sustained effort at close work is maintained only at the cost to the child of headaches, nerve strain, fatigue, or vision that is definitely blurred. When the strain is more than he can endure and he sits back to look through the window at the distant hills, he is accused of lack of interest, lack of perse- verance, and unwillingness to make an effort.

Reilly Asks
Bar Probe
OfFisher

PENNINGTON, N. j., April 10
UNS0.-C. Lloyd Fisher, asso-
ciate defense counsel for Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, today dis
missed the demand of his former
chief, Edward j. Reilly, for a
State bar investigation of Mr..
Fishers activities with two sue
cinct sentences. He observed:
"They are simply the rawlings
of a disgruntled man.
1--WE will not dignity him by
further comment"
Mr.. Reilly also formally asked
Chancellor Luther A. Campbell, OF
Trenton, permission to withdraw
from the case.
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife
of the convicted Baby Lindbergh
slayer, recently served written no
tice of Reilly's removal from the
case.
In his letter to the State bar
association, Reilly charged Fish
er's actions during the Fleming.
ton trial were highly unethicap'
and stated he found it difficult
to get along with Fisher as the
trial progressed.
Reilly also stated in the letter
that in February, shortly after
the completion of the trial re-
sulting in Hauptmann's convic
ton, Mrs. Hauptmann approached
him with a request to "get rid
of Fisher, but that he, Reilly, per
suaded her to retain the Fleming
ton lawyer.
Mr.. Reilly said he fears thai
an incomplete and poorly pre-
sented appeal will be made by his
former associate, pointing out
that the arguments of the appeal
are scheduled to be made on June
20, that the contract for the print
ing of the appeal was signed
March %.
This latest move on the part
of the Brooklyn criminal lawyer
followed his inability to obtain
any details about the money in
the Hauptmann defense fund, in
which he claims there is more
than $4,000.
