AceComedions
At Goyety

For Inauguration week, Col.
James Lake has scored again,
bringing to the Gayety Twinkle
Toes" a burlesque attraction that
boasts Irving B. Hamp as come
dian-in-chief. The Hamp qualities
are well known and admired
among the local burlesque fol
lowers.
Hamp pulls a new trick or two
out Of the bag along with some
Of the gags that he has made
classic in seasons past.
The comedian is ably assisted
by Lee Hickman and Lew Lewis,
both possessing, on their own ac-
counts, quite an amount Of stuff
on the ball. The comics really top
the bill this week.
Topping the distaff side Of the
troupe is an exotic number billed
as MademoiSelle Yvette, the girl
in the muff. Miss Yvette has
added twist or two to the strip
tease number and goes override
Servedly so-in great good style.
Another young thing, billed
only as Pannette, stands out as a
revelatory artist of good rank.
Lorrie Lamont, Gertrude Beck
and the Whitlock Sisters round
out a feminine contingent that
is comely and gifted.
The chorus compares most IA
vorably with shows of the past
few weeks. The production is ex-
cellently mounted and deserves to
do a land office business. r. S.

moth musical comedy and operetta
venture of the Shuberts at Jones
Beach, N. Y, with its floating stage
and huge flood lights taking the
place of a curtain, proved q glo-
rious success. The productions
were staged by Fortune Gallo and
the summer Of 1887 will find an
expansion and a similar entertain
ment at 81 top at Randall's Island.
OUTDOOR AMUSEMENT
"I see no reason why popular
priced outdoor entertainment
should not go in Washington, !"
said the producer, "and plan to
inaugurate it here. The only ques-
ton is where? Ball parks are not
feasible. We found that out in
Detroit where the expense Of tax
ing down and setting up the pro-
duction nightly ruined all chances
of successful operation. If the
proposed memorial stadium prof.
ect goes through it may be the
answer to our problem. At any
rate, the appetite for amusement
is Just as zestful in July and
August as in other months. We
hope to do something to satisfy
it."
About "Frederika," the new
operetta, Mr.. Shubert is quite GER
tain he has a hit. The book, he
feels, could stand more laughs
situation humor in the mood and
period of Goethe's life rather
than gags-and during the Phila-
delphia engagement he hopes to
supply them. The late David
Freedman was scheduled to polish
up "Frederika" for comedy but
his untimely passing came before
he could witness the brilliant
opening of "The Show Is On" for
which he supplied the choicest
SkitS.
Manager L. Stoddard Taylor,
who was company manager for
the Morris Gest production Of
Lady Precious Stream" has
returned to Washington to be the
local representative Of the
Messrs. Shubert.

Marx Bros. Fun
At RioIto

"Horsefeathers," the picture in
which the four Marx brothers
went Collegiate" returned to the
Rialto Theater Sunday.
Paramount had so many re-
quests from all over the country
for a reissue of this popular COM
edy that they released it again
as part Of the 1936-37 product.
A special feature of this weeks
Rialto program is Laurence Stall
lings' "The First World War;" con-
sidered the finest compilation Of
World War films ever assembled.
With Groucho taking over the
college presidency in order to
graduate Zeppo, who had been try
ing for IL years to finish his edu-
cation; with Harpo and Chico as
the dog-catcher and bootlegger-
iceman, respectively, a new kind
of collegiate" life is revealed in
"Horsefeathers!"
Groucho, however, is a typical
college president in one respect
he decides to import a good foot
ball team. But there the conven.
tional college atmosphere stops.
Never has any gridiron been the
scene of such a game as that star
ring Chico and Harpo.
THE First World War" is not
only a vivid and authentic picturi-
zation of the war on land, on sea,
and in the air, but it gives the
background Of that great conflict,
with scenes of the royal families
and political leaders of Europe
during the years prior to 1914.

BALTIMORE LOSES
Baltimore sent a special delega-
tion to the United Booking Offices
in New York to plead for a week
of Gilbert and Sullivan as pre-
sented by the D'Oyly Carte Com
pany. They claimed the Savoy
ards had passed up the Monu-
mental City on its last tour and
that a Beven-day engagement this
season would be highly profitable.
Unable to get the tour changed,
since none of the theaterS booked
would release D'Oyly Carte, the
Baltimoreans complained tn t
they were forced to come to Wash
ington for their so-called "legiti-
mate" theater. So if you see play
goerS T-om the neighboring city
at the National Theater this next
fortnight you will know the reason
why. They are Gilbert and Sui
Ivan fans.
THEY PAY AND PAY
Motion Picture Herald has gone
to the trouble of finding out how
much income tax some Of the
Hollywood celebrities, and those
in the high salary brackets, pay
to Uncle Sam.
It finds that Mae Vests 1885
income of $480,833 shrunk to
$168,279 after she had paid State
and Federal income taxes. Mae
paid Federal tax of $239,855 on
her quoted income, Her Cali
fornia tax was S90,199.
Marlene Dietrich, with a 1885
income of 1868, 900, paid California
and United States taxes that re-
duced her net income to $139, ,668.
Major Edward BoweS, on an in
come of $249, ,999, paid taxes which
made his net earnings $112,504.
Ginger Rogers $74,483 in 1885
became $50,890 after she had
settled with the tax collector.
To sum it up, the Motion Pic
ture Herald's figure experts, or
acCuaries, estimate that 46 per
cent of Hollywood's hight bracket
salaries go to taxes. Now do you
still want to be a movie star?
Yes.
BIRTHDAY PLANS

Harry Lohmeyer went into a hud-
die at Variety Club last night and

This is the first subject that
dramatizes the incidents leading to
the formation of our Constitution.
It reveals the oppression of Ameri-
can colonists, conflict among the
separate colonies and misfortune
of all the people that brought
about the need of the document;
brings to life those great Ameri-

this instrument and reveals for the

KELLEYGRAMS

Lynchburg, Virginia, claims the
brothers Warner, Major Albert,
Harry and Jack, motion picture
producers and exhibitors and dis
putes the claims of Youngstown
Ohio, as the birthplace OF these
Hollywood tycoonS.
The city's historian writes that
all of the Warner children were
born there of poor but indus
trious shoemaker. Their mother,
he says. was an Eichlebaum, and
the family moved to Ohio while
the boys were at tender age.
Within six city blocks in Lynch
burg were born many destined
to become famous, including
United States Senator Carter
Glass, Ex-senator Robert L. Owen,
of Oklahoma; Governor Allen OF
Ohio, DR.. Loonis, who was an
experimenter and pioneer in wire:
less before Marconi, five United
States Major Generals, Samuel
Untermeyer, famous New York
lawyer, and Marguerite Cabeur
authoress and one Of the organ
izers of the D. A. r.
When they fight over the
honor of your birthplace you
have arrived" Lynchburg until
recently had one of the most pre-
tentious movie houses in the
Warner Bros circuit. In a re-
adjustment Of the theater map
and to eliminate costly competi'
ton, Warner Bros. swapped a
number of houses with Para
mount. So the Lynchburg house
now flies the flag OF Adolph
Zukor.
MIDNIGHT SHOWS
Downtown theaters will WOO In
augural visitors with extra mid
night shows. The extended sched-
ules go into effect at R-K-O
Keith'S, the Earle, Capitol, Metro
politan and Central on Tuesday
and Wednesday nights. The How
ard also will have a midnight
show Tuesday.
It will be possible to drop into
either the Capitol or Earle as late
as 1880 on either night and see
a complete show, which means
both vaudeville houses will be on
a six7show schedule tomorrow and
Wednesday. Tough on the actors
but Inaugural comes only once
every four years.
Four years ago, or in March
1888, the Capitol (then the Fox
played to $4,000 paid admissions
in seven days and hung up rec
ord that stood until After the
Thin Man" arrived on F Street 6
fortnight ago, to set up $42,8 a!
an all-time high.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 10. - On
the boulevard. Any production
company planning to do a film
based on the present unfortunate
Spanish situation should certainly
collect Gertrude Netcher, now
visiting here, as technical adviser.
Mrs. Netcher, who started life
in the films in Chicago, and then
married and divorced Townsend
Netcher, one of the owners of the
Boston Store in Chicago, took up
residence four years ago in Bar
live forever. Along came the first
revolution, which she successfully
weathered, and then along came
the second, which is still going on,
and she had to get out. Disguised
as a peasant, without any cover
ing on her head, which is mark
of ariStocracy that would have
caused her to be shot down.
She walked several blocks wav-
ing a white handkerchief in front
of sharpshooters so they wouldn't
shoot her, stepped into a waiting
ambulance and was whiSked away
to safety over the French border.
In the rush, through sheer
necessity, she had to leave all her
clothes, all the money she had in
Spanish banks, her furniture
and other little nicknacks. AS far
as ever returning to what was
once the land of gaiety, she
couldn't face it, since most of
her friends have been shot down
by the rebels or have been exiled
in poverty to other countries.
To add further to the tragedies
of the day, Ross Alexander
whose untimely suicide still has
the colony gasping, shot himself
exactly two months before a two
year suicide clause had expired
on a $4,000 life insurance policy
he had taken out. Hence, Anne
Nagel, his widow, will not receive
the money, which would have
helped so much on funeral pay
ments, and on debts accrued.
Constance Talmadge and Mr..
and Mrs. Buster Collier left yes
terday via train for the East.
Constance will stop off in Chi
cago, where she has established
residence, and the Golfers will go
on to England, where Buster is in
charge of Warner Brothers pro-
>ductionS.

City Drivers Worst
Parking Offenders,
Authorities Report

Two Redwood Falls residents
were fined for overtime double
parking this week as city author
tiles began a drive against traffic
ViolatOrS.
Both men, John Dahl and H. W.
Schmidt, readily admitted their
guilt and paid So fines. The drive
so far has borne out the opinion OF
the council and police officers
that the chief offenders against
the double parking ordinance are
local people and that farmers and
outside patrons of the community
seldom abuse the five minute
double parking privilege.
Thomas S. Johnson of Brook
ings, South Dakota paid $50 fine
when he plead guilty to charge
of driving while under the in
fiuence of Intoxicating liquor
Monday. He was picked up by
highway patrolmen on highway

making $4,000 mile trip through
the United States with a motor
cycle of one and a half horse pow
er and a miniature trailer, stop

gallon and quart respectively.
Without the tiny trailer it trav-
els 40 miles an hour but its proud
