1t was mere coincidence that so large
a serving of Howard was heaped upon
the Capital in one week, but 1t does

Miss Walsh, who, next to George M.

Cohan-is about to be extracted from
the cast and inserted in a show of
her own.
Miss Walsh may not own the most
spectacular voice in the world. but she
is a definite personality with a manner
of singing and dancing that sells songs
and dances. So she is going to be
starred. And her proud sister Kather-
inc, who must be the proudest sister
in the world. certainly ought to be
retained as press agent on a perma-
nent paid basis. Mary James singing
of songs and Katherines singing of
Mary James praises constitute one Of
the most warmishly human interest
