to guess when to speak and
what to say.
The first show did with them
taught me that must be pre-
pared for anything. After re-
hearsalS went along with none
ever the same, I went to Groucho
the night before the opening and
pleaded for cues. Don't expect
any from me-" he smiled. Its

And so it was. When my en-
trance came, the three were cut
ting impromptu capers on the
stage and were saying nothing
that reSembled the cue I thought
I would have.
Finally, I just walked right on.
Chico and Harpo ran off the
stage and I was ready for my
scene with Groucho. He rushed
over to me and, pointing to a
divan, said. "Why, Mrs. Ritter
house, won't you-er-lie down."
The audience screamed. I had
never heard that line before.
And that's the way it goes, on
and on when you work with the
MarXes.

so successful. All are clever at
impromptu comedy and anyone
who works with them can truth

Personally, I can't. I'm not q
stooge, anyway.
But on the stage and screen
I have to keep my wits about
me when I work with the boys.
The stage is the worst because
there they can cut loose and be
as wild as possible. OF course,
they are wild on the screen but
I always know just about what
to expect in scenes with them,
because our scenes are rehearsed
and-if they "break me up
the shot can always be done
again. Not so on the stage.
FAnniest thing about their
stage work is their habit Of max

That reference to "Ironsides"

Charging that those who take
lightly the absence of national rep
resentation in the District have "lost
their desire to be Americans" Paul
Iesh. local attorney and vice chair
man Of the Citizens Joint Commit
tee for National Representation, urged
arousing the people here to get more
attention from Congress. He ad-
dressed the League of Republican
Women.
Distinguishing carefully between
local suffrage and national representa-
ton, Lesh lamented the lack of any
burning concern on the part of the
District to be part of the Nation"
Citing the 1880 census figures which
gave Washington population of 486,-
600 and the latest Census Bureau esti-
mate of $4,000 this year, he insisted
that the Capital is city in its own
right and not merely home for trans
tents.
I'VE have a population of voting
age here which exceeds that in any
one Of eight States,' he said. I'VE
paid S17.0O0000 into the Federal
Treasury in the last fiscal year in in
come, inheritance and other internal
revenue taxes, which is more than the
contribution of any one of 25 States
and exceeds the aggregate of nine"

at all inconsistent with our advocacy
