on South Second Street, while Art
Frank scratched away at funny
faces on every piece of paper at
hand, in the apartment next door.
Sigmund, now violiniSt with
the Earle Orchestra, was formerly
with Hans Kindler's Washington
Symphony, the Metropolitan Or
chestra and before that the Min
neapoliS Symphony, while Art
Frank, after years as cartooniSt
and writer for the New York
American. became producer Of
short sketches for community war
camps during the World War.
This led to his dramatic work
and this week he is featured in
the third spot on the bill as
Frank and Petersen" Art in
1919 introduced George Raft to
the footlightS as a dancer in his
act, and in 1928 brought Ginger
Rogers here at the Palace Theater
as a singing-dance feature in his
High Hat Revue"
ABOUT THE GONG-RINGER
Wally sharples, official gong
ringer for the Bowe's unit cur
rently bombarding the Fox pa
irons with a variety of entertain
ment, came to this town for the
first time at Polls Theater in
1919 when The Century Mid
night World" direct from the Cen
fury Roof, New York City, his
town, with Bessie Mccoy Davis,
Felix Adler and Frank Fay
starred.
The second try at D. C. was a
year later with Clark and McCul-
loch in the Jean Bedini produc-
ton, peek a Boo" which played
the Gayety as a burlesque show. A
week before at the Columbia The
alter, New York, they dropped Joe
Cook, comic juggler, as an added
attraction. It is interesting to
note that in that day the dance
directors of this burleSque show
were Larry CeballoS and Seymour
Felix, now leading Hollywood di.
rectors, and that the next year the
same show under the title Of
"ChuckleS," and under the Schu-
bert banner, played the BelaSco
at musical comedy prices.
ABSORBING THE AMATEURS
Marshall Rogers, of the musical
glasses, claims to have searched
from 1918 until 1880 to collect the
array of glassware he now uses to
produce his music. No water is
used to adjust the tune and he
is perhaps the only artist of his
kind to do this act without con-
tents in the tumblers. The true
story is that after years Of search
for a particular goblet to produce
note he found the desired glass,
with the right tone, in his next
door neighbours home in Richmond
Hill, Long Island.
Vivian Barlow, character imper-
sonations, came by this art when
she taught elocution in her own
private school in Brooklyn. Helen
ELY, newest song mimic with
this troupe, auditioned in the
home town of Baltimore WedneS-
day, and was sent to New York
to addition for the Major, Fri
day. Sunday she went on the
air on the program and Monday
joined the unit for the first show
at the Fox.

StarIet Makes Hit
With Mexican Garb

The latest summer fashion for
little tots was modelled recently by
tiny Juanita Quigley.
The M-G-M starlet, featured In
1.-THE Devil DOLL" with Lionel
Barrymore, visited the lot wearing
a frock of hand-woven Mexican
design. The robe girdle was orna-
mented by tiny yarn dolls hang
ing at each end. Two more of the
dolls reposed upon each shoulder.

for Flo Ziegfield, which opened
here. Dennis King and Vivienne
Segal co-starred in this production,
and alert theater-goers may re-
member in the role of 1.-THE Car
dinal" the well-knoWn Hollywood
character actor, Reginald Owen.
While rehearsing here for this
musical she fell and Sprained
knee and so her first musical
comedy appearance, as well as her
first appearance for the famous
producer of the "Follies"-who
later she was to help eulogize in
celluloid--was with bandaged
knee on the stage Of Washington'S
National Theater.
This 1881 occasion also served
as her introduction to William
Anthony Macguire. who wrote the
stage adoption of the Dumas
classic for Zeigfeld. Strangely
enough, last year MCGUIRE long
distanced Harriet at the Warfield
Theater, Frisco, and lured her to
Hollywood with a contract from
Universal films, where he was
writing the screen adoption of
"The Great Ziefgeld." UniversaPs
transfer of the picture rights to
M-G-M included Harriet'S paper.
Her last trip Westward brought
an R-K-O contract with films set
for the fall.
AN IRVING BERLIN FIND"
Jean Sargent, songstress at the
Earle, was formerly gossip col
umnist on the Philadelphia Record
and at the same time attended the
Mary Lyon finishing school,
Swarthmore, Pa. A member of a
private artist club labeled plays
and Players" she sang for their
featured guest. Irving Berlin, and
the next week was invited to audi
ton for the torch singer role in
"Face the Music" produced by
Sam Harris, with tunes by Berlin.
She made the grade and her
first stage appearance dissolved
into a 10-month-run, featured in a
Broadway hit.
Her voice is unusual, ranging
from low E to B flat below high C.
At school she was offered an
operate scholarship by Madame
Schumann- Heink, and did study
for short time at the Curtis In
stitute for Opera, in Philly. This
fall she has signed TO go into

London as the Original Carlton

seven years ago when they went

Needless to say there is none

Of Interest to Advertisers

1t will interesting to advertisers to note that for
four consecutive years The Star has led all American
newspapers in the volume of advertising printed, The
Star lineage during 1885 being 21,s371Ss, gain OF
1,5938l3 over 1894.
So far as Washington newspapers concerned,
Media Record figures show that its nearest competitor
in the local field had lineage TO- 1884, very cred
liable showing but less than half of that printed In
The Star.
All this Notwithstanding the fact that The Star de-
cned much advertising distilled liquor advertising alone
which not accepted by The STAR furnished lineage to
the other Washington newspapers of 1807878 in 1885,
Advertisers are urged to use The Stars columns
solely because it is profitable to them to do 50.

the trustee of the estate has been un-

Meanwhile the estate has grown in
value to $4,000. leaving more than

The District Supreme Court ruled
that not more than $4,000 should

pellate court concurred. leaving the
bulk of her estate to be divided among

Passage of the compromise soldiers
bonus bill calling for the issuance OF
baby bonds" to the veterans, CASH
able at any time. is expected before
adjournment of the Senate today.
Hundreds of visitors. many of them
former service men. 'rowded the Sem
ate gallery and stood III long lines IN

nifty TO enter the gallery as debate got
underway
An amendment Offered by Senator
King Of Utah. providing for the i'm
mediate cash payment of the cash
surrender value of the veterans ad-
justed compensation certificates, was
pending when the Senate met, but
was defeated by voice vote
Senator King told the Senate that
if his pain we're adopted as a substi-
tute for the compromise bill the cost
to the Government would be more
than a billion dollars less.
Cites Presidential Veto.
One of the reasons advanced by
President Roosevelt in his veto of the
soldiers bonus bill at the last session
of Congress. Senator King pointed OUT
was that the measure advanced pay
ment of the bonus to the veterans oy
10 years. This. Senator King said.
adds to the obligation OF the contract
more than billion dollars. The cash
surrender value of the certificates. he
maintained, was all the veteran was
entitled to at the time of the sur
render of the certificate.
The Utah Senator SAID Senate lead
ers had predicted the compromise bill
would pass the Senate by an over
whelming vote.
Il hope the President will not act
favorably on this bill when it is sent
to him he said. approval OF a law
by Congress does not always mean
that the law is wise or that it Will
promote the welfare of the country.
Fortunately. we have the Supreme
Court of the United States to check
on some of the measures we pass. But
cannot hope that this bill will have
infirmities that will make it subject to
review by the court"
Hope Estimate Is High.
The Senate's Finance Committee, in
reporting the compromise bill to the
Senate estimated that the present
value of certificates outstanding. ai-
lowing full additional credit and SUBJ
tracing the loans made to the vet
erans, was 2.420.S2l.127. 1t is the
hope of the committee, however, III t
no such sum will be required from
the Government Immediately in set
tlement of the bonus.
Members of the committee believe
many of the veterans will prefer to
hold on to the bonds. bearing interest
at 3 per cent, which will be issued
TO them in place of their bonus GER
tificates. The number of certificates
outstanding is given as 3,5l8,l9l.
The number of bonus certificates
pledged as collateral for loans is s.
O26,19O. 1t is evident that approx
imately 100000 veterans have not bor-
rowed on their certificates.
Under the compromise bill, interest
on loans to the veterans, based on
bonus certificates. is to be forgiven
to the extent of S263.000,000.
