another delightful entertainer, Alice

of the Castle Square Opera Company.
and a Washington girl-took part,
and rendered several selections.
Evening star., 1936-10-25

As q native Washingtonian, the
writer is not backward in saying that
the District of Columbia excels in
most everything that is worthwhile,
including the paying of Federal taxes,
and would excel in voting if given
the opportunity. 1t has given to the
stage a long list Of actors and ac-
tresses in addition to those men
toned, who have acquitted them
selves in highly praiseworthy way
a number even becoming celebrated
in their special lines.
Some are still upon the stage and
in the public eye, while others are
among the missing or absent ones.
But whether absent or present, it is
nice to mention a few Of the names
We recall of1hand as having been
born here, or as having adopted
Washington as their home. Namely,
Jean Davenport Lander, Mrs. D. P.
Bowers. Bettina Girard, Ann Suth-
erland. william Pruette, Tim Fraw-

home when she died. And We still
have living with us, in nearby Ia
koma Park, a noted old-timer, who
as Minnie Frye first played here as
an amateur in the Thalian Club, later
with the Augustin DAILY stock COM
pany, making her professional debut
under the name of Margaret LanneT.
in 1879. At one time she shared
honors with John Drew in AN Arab
ian Night" and was the leading lady
in other plays. She married Thomas
L. Coleman. Shakespearean actor,
and later retired from the stage.
OF course, the name OF Helen
Hayes could not be omitted from this
honorable list, first, because she is
an actress of national and interna- )
tional repute-and We are glad of it;
second, because her father, Frank
Brown, is a member Of the ASsocia-
ton Of the Oldest Inhabitants, and
also because the Browns we're near
neighbors Of the Proctor family,
when the writer was a lad.

price of a theater ticket to carry on
at the night clubs.
That great part of the money dis
triouted in Washington on the 18th
and 30th of each month is sent
out of town Is apparent. One has
only to take note of the lines at
money order windows on these days
to bear out the statement. This is. no
doubt, due to the fact that many
young folks working in Washington
send home sum of money regularly
to help out parents or assist some
younger member of the family. The
queues at banks always increase on
pay day, but the fact that they never
attain the proportions Of those at
department store booths seems to in
dicate that more money is spent than
is deposited. Questioning Of Federal
workers in various pay brackets bore
out this fact. Out of six questioned
two banked regular sum, one sent
third home, two lived right up TO
the last penny each fortnight and
the sixth exclaimed, Pay check?
Who, me? Say, it's spent month
ahead. 1t goes SO fast don't even
see it,
And Washington merchants chorus:
"It's Federal pay checks that keep
us alive. Say what you will, We op-
crate, one and all, for the Federal
worker!"
A survey of six Washington de-
partment stores, made by the United
States Department of Commerce for
the period beginning September to
the 18th of this month, shows that
there is sometimes as much as 81
per cent increase in business for those
periods that contain pay day, and
that this increase sometimes will ex-
tend over three-day period-the day
Immediately preceding pay day, pay
day itself and the day following.

Shortly before her death, 1t Is said
in writing to friend, she quoted
George Eliots lines, saying:
20. may I join the choir invisible
OF those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their pres
feed pure love.
Beget the smiles that have no cruelty
Be the sweet presence of good diff
fused.
So shall I join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gladness Of the
world"
And, no doubt, she has.
OF COURSE, We have had other
delightful theatrical folk who have
passed on. leaving behind fond men,
ories, sometimes of short life well
spent, and in this connection many
will agree that Annie Lewis Of this
city, who died in 1896, and who is
burdied in Glenwood Cemetery, was
one whom any city might well be
proud Of, and especially Washington,
for she was born and raised here,
and enjoyed the distinction, even as
a small child, as a reader of more
than ordinary merit.
Her first professional appearance
was in "The Little Trump" in which
she scored a success, and from that
time she quickly rose to high place
in the esteem of the theatergoing
public, not only in her native city,
but in every city and town in which
she appeared. Soon after her first
venture on the legitimate stage, she
supported Estelle Clayton and Roland
Reed, and later became one OF the
members Of Hallon Harris company.
While in that company she gained
the distinction of being one Of the
most popular soubrettes in this coun-
try. and her songs were whistled and
sung by every one Wherever sne
appeared.
Her popularity had caused her to
be made an honorary member Of the
National Fencibles, and at her
funeral, which occurred on october T.
members of that organization served
as pallbearers.
Perhaps there are still quite a
number of persons who will recall
Miss Lewis singing my Sweetheart's
the Man in the Moon," the chorus Of
which went something like this:
my Sweetheart's the Man in the
Moon,
I'm going to marry him soon.
And behind some dark cloud,
Where no one Is allowed,
I'll make love to the Man in the
Moon"

was Charles Louis Reitz, Baltimore

the time of her death. She was of
a large family of five brothers and
two sisters. One sister, Mrs. Duncan
L. Richmond, now resides in Brook

The funeral of Miss Macnichol took
place from her fathers residence, los

by many important theatrical people,
especially Of the Castle Square Opera

more to the Government worker than

HOME SPRINKLER
SYSTEM DEVISED
Gives Residence Same Auto
matte Protection Against
Fire as Factory.

A new midget sprinkler system for
the small home has recently been per-
fected which gives to the residence the
same automatic protection against fire
enjoyed by the commercial and indus
trial structure, says the Plumbing and
Heating Industries Bureau.
The system can easily be installed
under the ceiling Of any basement.
1t is connected to the domestic water
supply and is piped with flexible cop
per tubing installed in a loop. The
loop traverses the entire basement and
thus produces an even distribution OF
water and pressure, no matter Wflere
the operating sprinkler may be.
The sprinkler heads are held tightly
shut by a quartzoid bulb which Will
open only when subjected to tenn
perature Of 135 degrees. When the
bulb opens, water issues from the
tubing and is broken up by the heads
into a pressure-driven rain. As soon
as the water flows through the tubing
to an open head, an alarm is auto
matically sounded by speedex alarm
valve. This valve, combination
alarm, check, and gate valve Is in
stalled between the domestic supply
connection and the loop Of the
sprinkler tubing.
OrdiMsedy the check in the valve
Is closed In the water way, but, when a
head opens, the rush of water moves it
out Of the way, and it acts to estab-
lish an electric current which rings
the bell and announces the fire.

reau Of Labor Statistics.
'The volume of residential build.

point In June since 1929, rose still
further in July to 37.9 per cent Of

available downstairs. Ceiling fixtures
are rapidly becoming out Of date,
hence . large number Of floor plugs
will enable you to use easily trans
portable lamps. which give light Just
where you want 1t.
Heating Often Problem.
The heating Of these upper door
rooms is often problem due to the
difficulty in running heating pipes or
warm-air ducts there. Then again
the capacity Of the boiler or furnace
may be limited so that 1t could not
take the additional load. To be sure
that you will have ample warmth, q
heating man should be called in so
that he can make q comprehensive
heat-loss survey Of the space. He will
determine the number Of radiators
which will be required to heat the
rooms or the size duct which will be
needed to carry hot air upstairs. The

the rafters under the roof on either
side Of the room. After this Is done
the walls can be put up. using any
one Of the many wall boards now on
the market. The ceiling also Is made
of this material and, as it comes in
large-size sheets, 1t Is an easy matter
to cover the entire area In q sur
prisingly short time.
Before proceeding with the erection
Of wall and ceiling coverings ample
provision must be made for ventila-
tion and lighting. If the attic for
merly had been used as storage space
the chances are that both light and
air are limited, hence ways and means
of bringing them in must be con-
sidered. Most attics have q louvre
ventilator in one Of the walls. The
handy man can quite easily convert
this opening into q window, and II
there are two Of them, one at either
end, you will probably have ample
fenestration for the rooms which will
be occupied up there.
Carpenter May Be Needed.
II you have no louvres which can
be converted it will require the serv-
ices Of carpenter well versed In build
ing construction to provide the neces-
sary openings.
An easily accessible stairway d OBJ
viously q most important requirement
of q good attic modernization job. In
many homes the attic stairs are mar
row. steep affairs that would prove
difficult climbing for anything but q
| mountain goat. Other houses are
equipped with folding or swinging lad
der-like arrangements which are i'm
practicable methods Of ascent. To
make the attic really valuable space,
q wide stairway should be built even
though it cuts into the amount OF
space available in the upstairs hall.
In any event, II you intend to use the
stairs as they now are be sure that
they are at least made safe.
The lighting and heating Of attic
rooms are most important items II they
are to be made really comfortable liv-
ing quarters. Ample provision for
floor or wall plugs can be made before
the wall surfaces are put In place. and
in many cases the lighting facilities
