Roy NJ Whites Nose for Crime Afforded
Him Many Exciting Experiences
With METROPOLITAN Police

They talk about a nose for
news" but Roy N. White, retired
member of the Metropolitan Po-
lice Department, had a nose for
smelling out crime.
He started his police career as
a member Of the Baltimore county
police department, but wanted a
more active field, so he Joined the
Washington department.
One of the most remarkable
cases he solved was that of a
criminal armed with an ammonia
squirt gun who held up and
robbed a contractor of his weekly
pay roll.
In the scuffle the thug lost his
hat, and Mr.. White noted the
smell of a peculiar lotion in the
hat. With only this clue to work
on he captured the bandit.
During the bonus army riots he
was assigned as special aid to
Superintendent of Police Glass

Assigned to the Traffic Bureau,
he suffered serious injuries when

BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

b1 ALISL EtLhSMhNs
THE Washington String Quartet
resumed its chamber music
concerts yesterday afternoon at
L the Sulgrave Club. The quar-
tet has for the violins, Milton
Schwartz and Paul Brightenburg; for
viola, George Wargo, and for cello,
Howard Mitchell The remaining con-
certs of this years series will be given
on February 4, February Is and
March Is at the Sulgrave Club.
The young artists who have been
prominent in musical circles for
several years as members of the Ma
tional Symphony and of the String
Quartet, have progressed steadily in
their work from year to year. Not
content with their own interpretations
they have sought the advice of New
York teachers and have given recitals
in New York with CONSPICUOUS sue
cess This year they have stepped
along considerably in the way of ma
turity and yesterdays concert was
delivered with authority and artistic
polish.
In their choice of program they had
set themselves a difficult task in the
question of Interpretation. The pro-
grammed numbers, Mozart's Quartet
in D minor. K 421," Beethoven's
Quartet in D major, op. l8, No. 8"
and Borodin's Quartet No. 2 in D
major" could only be made impressive
through the guidance OF deep senti-
ment, and it was in this direction that
the development of the young men
was most marked.
Mozart wrote the Quartet in D
minor" the night his first son was
born. 1t is but natural that the in
tensity of his feelings should be evi-
dent in every movement and demand
of the interpreter the utmost in
artistic finish. Beethoven wrote a
group of six quartets dedicated to
Prince Lichnowsky, of which yester-
days was the third for four young
men about Is years old who played
each Friday morning in the palace of
the prince, while Borodin's second
quartet was posthumous work.
The young musicians brought vi
tality, pliability and sensitiveness to
their readings of each number. The
musical line was clear, the shadings
well marked and proportioned and
the whole illumined with searching

pletely nonprofitable department in
the company. Stamps, photographs,
ink, etc., cost the crooner 5000 a
year.
Success was a long time coming
to the sad-faced 32-year- business
genius. 1t was in 1880 what Ray Nc
Carey, young man of foresight, hired
a dance band and singer for a short,
at total cost of S25 When executives
saw it in the projection room, they
tossed dance band, singer, McCarey-
and the shortcut of the studio. Bing
was philosophic about the incident He
had already been thrown out by ex-
perts-notably Florenz Ziegfeld, who
fired at sight the three Paul Whiteman
rhythm boys, of whom Bing was the
least important member, from his New
York roof show.

Agency Included.
An important branch of the Crosby

ness, and 10 per cent is collected
from Bing, dance leader Bob Crosby
(another brother), Sue Carroll, Pris-
ella Moran, Dixie Lee (the crooner-
business mans wife and mother Of
bouncing twin boys and their older
brother), George Stoll's Orchestra,
and Josephine Tuminia. San Fran
cisco opera singer, the latter an un-
expectedly valuable investment. After
she scored sensationally in her home
town, the Crosby Investment Co. was
successful in signing the singer for
an appearance this season at New
York's swank Metropolitan Opera
House.
In addition. the company owns IS
race horses. This sideline has yet to
win its financial spurs. Omar Khay-
gam to date being the only boarder
worth his hay.
Invests in Own Pictures.
And, oh, yes. I almost forgot-one
Of the most important and lucrative
activities of the Crosby Investment
Co. is the film and radio work of Bing
Crosby. Under contract to Paramount,
for which he makes three pictures a
year 'bu-bu-bu-boo" Bing is allowed
to do one movie for an outside pro-
ducer. Even in this artistic field,
Bings business sense cannot be con-
trolled-and, when he considers the
film sure-fire box Office. he insists on
his company purchasing an interest.
This was done recently with Pennies
From Heaven" chalking up many
golden pennies for Bing and the
gang-I mean directors.
As q side line to supervising per-
sonally every branch of the Crosby
Investment Co., Bing keeps an active
eye on his large secretarial staff. whose
sole reason for being is answering the

each month. This is the only COM

A ND now, assuming that Frances
Starr will not mind, one might
end the column with a sort of open
letter to her. Such an ending would
constitute an answer to an extremely
fine spirited and charming letter from
Miss Starr yesterday. 1t bore Pitts
burgh date; Pittsburgh being the scene
of the final rites for The Two Mrs.
Carrolls," which played to so much
unf1attering critical opinion here last
week in spite of Miss Stars fine in
dividual performance.
So. convinced that she will not dis
approve, here goes:
Dear Miss Starr: You were kind to
agree with our estimate of THE Two
Mrs. CAROLS" to the extent that you
did in your letter of today.
1t was not pleasant duty to have
to report SO unhappily upon all aspects
of the play save your own performance.
We had to climb to rather high peak
of objective writing to make the sug-
gestion that it should be played as
farce instead of melodrama. Other
wise. we should not have risked the
implication of impertinence in the
words of advice. 1t is one thing, and
the major one as you well know. for
a drama reporter to inform his papers
readers and quite another to offer ad-
vice to the producer of a play.
In the case of THE Two Mrs. Car
rolls" we ventured to address the two
different audiences in the one set of
terms.
We are sorry the production was not
given the farce accent. But We are
glad that you, and one or two others
associated with it, agree with our esti-
mate that it should have been.
We, too, hope for better plays and
that you will be in them to make them
that.

contrasts of the different movements
as we'll as the contrasts of the genius
of the composers were well underlined
as in the appreciation of Borodin' S
idiom in counterbalance to Mozart
and Beethoven. The tone of the four
players is well matched, although the
first violin was touched yesterday with
occasional shrillness and faulty in
tonation.

Arnold knows it, and a memo i'm

When the individual who has been
guilty of the heresy walks into the
wings, be he the least or the greatest
member of the troup, Mr.. Arnold is
there to quote his notebook on the de-
lection. Should it be Martyr Green,
for instance, Arnold will buttonhole
him.
"Martyn," he will say, half in re-
proof, and half in sadness, when you
finished such-and-such in this scene,
you walked upper right. Now the
business of this piece calls for you to
walk upper left. 1t always has been
done that way, Martyr. I hope you
will not forget"

that he is the first tenor of the D'Oyly
