James Kirkwood, who plays the
part Of Judge Trumbull in the
all-star cast headed by William
Gillette in Three Wise Fools. "
has been equally successful on the
stage and on the screen.
After several seasons on Broad
way, Kirkwood was one of the
earliest actors to experiment with
the newer medium of entertain
ment; and, in a very short time,
he became one Of the most popu-
lar stars in motion pictures. AS a
director, he is generally credited
with guiding into worldwide fame
the best beloved actress of the
silent screen, Mary Pickford.
Some years ago. James Kirk
wood was induced to return from
Hollywood to Broadway, in order
to create the ChriSt-like stellar
figure in 1.-THE Tool" by Charming
Pollock. This play was so ire
mendously successful that Mr..
Kirkwood has subsequently divi-
ded his activities almost equally
between motion pictures and the
speaking stage.

Schoop Ballet
Makes Hit

A truly inspiring exhibition Of
the combined arts of the dance
and pantomime was revealed by
Trudi Schoop and her supporting
ballet at the National Theater last
night, the second event in the Al.
baugh dance series. This young
Swiss danSeuse while departing far
from the conventional fields in
entertainment of this character
demonstrates extraordinary abil-
ity.
Divided in two sections, the
principal offering "Fridolin on the
Road" has to do with the diversi-
fled adventures Of a young man
who leaves the parental roof, not
without some little timidity, to
seek his fortune. The IL scenes
which depict the growth Of his
romance and its subsequent fail.

art Richardson, Isidora Duncan.
Loie Fuller, Maude Allan and
other pioneers of the classic dance
in America, Miss Schoop'S method
may come somewhat as a shock,
inasmuch as she leans entirely to
the comic in her interpretations.
That this is an art in itself was,
however, fittingly demonstrated
by her last night.

perhaps misused in a figurative
sense, but the diminutive and boy.

The rhythmic control Of her fin

her facial expression. These same
abilities she seems to have more

female.

Chiefs to Ask
for Two Billions
From Congress
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

The Administration relief chiefs
are preparing to ask two billion
dollars for relief and also for limi.
ted continuance of the dole" in
the fiscal year beginning July /.
Plans of the relief administra-
ton today were transmitted to
members of Congress specially in
terested in the problem.
The request must go first to
President Roosevelt and the Di-
rector of the Budget before it
reaches Congress. Whether Mr..
Roosevelt will ask this sum re-
NAMED undetermined.
Word From Hopkins
Harry L. Hopkins, Works Prog.
ress Administrator, has Informed
members of Congress that the en-.
tire $4,000, 000,0 appropriated
by Congress to put 100000 men
on work-relief probably will be ex-
hausted by the middle Of the sum.
mer.
The WPA head also expects the
Federal Government to continue
the dole to States and munich
palities for the support Of mil
lions of unemployables.
While the Roosevelt Admins
tration has been anxious to turn
the job of supporting unemploy-
ables over to the States, Mr..
Hopkins maintains that the
States and cities do not have
the taxing resources to make this
possible.
Relief End Unsighted
Perhaps the most startling In.
formation conveyed by Mr.. Hop
kins to members of Congress is
that he expects the Federal Gov
eminent to have to continue gi-
gantic relief appropriations for
several years.
Despite the increase In bust
ness, he forSees unemployment
which can only be relieved by
big Federal works program.
The prospect Of an additional
two billion dollars being required
for relief will deal another blow
at the budget and increase the
prospective deficit in the coming
fiscal year.
