WHITE OVER RED

The Supreme Court is taking
the adage for more light and less
heat" to heart in a big way. With
all the changes made in the light
ing fixtures in the court room, the
matter hasn't been attended to
just right yet. The latest improve
ment is the covering of the red
velvet drapes near the bench with
a white cloth.

Regardless of this uncertain sit

Capitol who has been going calmly
on his way making his plans for
January 20. He is David Lynn,
Architect Of the Capitol, upon
whose shoulders falls the job of
providing stands and seating ar
rangements for the formal cere-
mony in front Of the Capitol. His
blueprints are nearly completed
and bids for the job will be asked
for in the next few days.

Florence Kahn of California, who
was defeated.
At her office a young lady def.
nitely spiked the rumor that Mrs.
Kahn would return to Washing.

In the first place, Mrs. Kahn is
not a lawyer, and, in the second

NEW FACES

Just in case you forgot, there
WERE some Republicans elected
November 3. Among them is a
man who will join the new faces
in the Senate January 5. In re-
sponSe to our request his secretary
has furnished the following short
biography.
"H. STYLES BRIDGES, Re-
publican, Concord, N. H.; born
West Pembroke, Me-, September
8, 1898; Governor New Hamp.

Somehow, however. in spite of Miss
Dunno and many Of the others, in
spite of Director James Whale "a
Britisher whose laurels first came
through Journeys End" and ghoulish
pictures in which Frankenstein ap-
peared. and who has done a splendid
job with SHOW. Boat') it is Paul
Robson who largely dominates the
scene.
Just how this stands, when Mr..
Robson appears only for about half
of it, it is difficult to imagine. Never
the less, Mr.. Robson singing odd
Man River" and the new song which
they have written for him; Mr.. Robe
sons giant presence, his smile, his
easy, amiable expressions: his way Of
appearing in the major dramatic mo-
ments at the right time, make the
picture something which he can in
great measure call his own. Last night
he got the first curtain call-and the
last. And he deserved it.

1t still has Helen Morgan gritting
her teeth over Bill" 1t still has
glimpses of moonlit chunks Of the
Mississippi glimmering in the dim dis
lance Of a musical Make Believe"
1t still has Paul Robson singing
"Old Man River" better than he did
when the stage played host to his
presence. And it has the wiStful, mel
ancholy and believably romantic story
of Magnolia, who fell in love with a
gambler of great and then little &C
count-a gambler who broke her life
in two and then in the late Fall of
his existence managed to patch some
Of it over again.
In other word, Show Boat" still
has everything.
Il x X
RRAvELY the Universal Co. has
warmed over what in the Silent"
motion picture days was a sad COM
mentary on an operetta that is likely
TO be this century's main contribution
to light-musical history. The version
that Laura La Plant and a cold-mut-
ton company did for Universal a
few years ago no longer remains. In
its place there is a SHOW Boat" that
Miss Ferber must like, that Ziegfeld
would have liked, and that audiences
must see to appreciate.
It's merit is not due to size, to struc-
ture or to finale. Only when Paul
Robson sings "Old Man River" does
1t have anything that grips beyond
belief But it has the virtues Of what
must necessarily surround the rebuilt
ing of classic. It's cast is excellent.
The new music which Jerome Kern
has written is in complete accord with
the rest (this is triumph) and only
afterwards are you conscious Of the
fact that Helen Morgan did not sit on
top of piano, that Capt. Andy did
not examine the "hoochy-coochy''
dancers at the Worlds Fair and that
Helen Wesley was not Edna May
Oliver.
IRENE DUNE, of course, should go
through the years as Magnolia. AL
through she is at her west when silver
threads run through her curls, she Is
always human, sympathetic, good
looking and the sort of person who
might become a great lady in spite of
having been practically the daughter
of a show boat.
Charles Winninger is the Capt.
Andy" who will be stamped an hon.
orary Capt. Andy 80 long as he shall

get that Edna May Oliver once was
better.
Alan Jones "Ravenal" is nothing to
shout about. but his voice makes up
for his acting and his scene with his
young daughter in the convent is one
Of the most moving events Of the film.

Townsend Plan Hearing Reveals
 Political "Dea!'
Sum of $12, 900, Was to Throw Organization s
 Strength to Gov.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 1. = Pierre Tomlinson, witness at the Townsend Plan hearing, told of a $12,000 "dear' between the heads of the Townsend organization and Gov. Frank F. Merriam's representa- tives, through which he said the voting strength of the group was to have been thrown on the side of Merriam in the 1884 gubernatorial race.
 Tomlinson testified before the Congressional subcommittee inves- tigating the Townsend Plan. He said the deal was made by Dr. Town send and R. E. Clements, former Sec Treasurer of the organiza- tion, with the Governors electlon representatives, but the money, ne said, was never paid.
 You mean, he didn't get tne dough-" asked Representative Jos- eph Gavagan, one of the commit tee.

I al- most forgot, they do get something, for instance, when they make an error, unless they have their ears stuffed with cotton, they are likely to hear from some over-enthusias- tic fan such remarks as where did you get that Bonehead?' chase him to the showers, why put shoes on that flat-foot?' where did you get that flat tire?' etc Thus you can see that it is not all bed of roses.

 "(4) Now we come to the offic- ials. You ask what do they get? Nothing for their time and services but plenty of pleasure out of seeing the games and lots of kidding-but we like it-so go to it. And we still have the pleasure of buying a sea- sons ticket for five dollars.
 "(5). Now we come to the public generally, just what does it get? l will answer this question by put ting it in the following form. I II know you are continually called up- on, in the name of charity, for con- tributionS, sometimes until it hurts, : getting nothing in return except the ! good that you may do, plus the pleas | ure of doing it. !
 By contribution to our baseball l league you get all you got out of | your contribution for charity and | more. You have the pleasure of sec : ing 38 games, which include 36 | league games as per schedule and | two Fourth of July games, all for $500, season ticket. Figure it out [ for yourself, it amounts to about | 13 cents per game, and for the Love of Mike, my friends, we need the [ Five Dollars, the boys need the play field and the Bremen need the ! money to keep up the good work; | and we all need to keep alive in our young men the spirit of good whole some sport and exercise.
 Let me again entreat you to make good your end of the problem. When the young ladies come to pre- sent you with your seasons ticket don't put them off but hand them the five dollars-better than that, call them up and tell them to hurry up with the ticket. Time is short. The 1886 season opens Sunday May 10th, the hour to be stated later. By the way, we have band out that day, so let's get in behind it, and- when the band stops playing be ready to play ball."
