not have that enthusiasm dampened
until after the recital. when came the
rains which had held OF until all

1t was a varied program presented
by the Chace dancers, with much
that was exceedingly interesting and
some that was not interesting any.
Most popular number with the au-

number, patterned after old Ameri-
can square dances and the polka, per-
formed in sprightly manner by the
senior group, which means Mary Will
lams. jeanne Leasure. Louise Nagel,
Ann Green and Avis Belt. Another
number which won considerable favor
was the dance by the same group

depict the evil doings in that court
and probably depicting them passably
well. for the young dancers certainly

which bespoke of no good deeds.
Best of the solo numbers. to our
way of thinking at any rate. was Miss
Leasure's skilled translation of ST.
belius' "Valse Triste." interpreting the
theme OF the music. the story of the
dancer faced by death. who rises for
one last ecstatic dance. Miss Chace
also contributed a pair Of solos which
were happily received. an interpreta-
ton Of one OF the Brahms rhapsodies
and "Adagio Cantabile" to Beethoven

Other high lights were Song for

1T is SO much easier to get laughs

Mr.. Meakin says, especially when he
is quoting critics. but nevertheless we
go on hoping some day for a picture
that will put the Dead End" kids in
roles exactly the reverse of those they
have been playing steadily now for
three years on stage and screen. Their
pictures are good, sometimes better
than that, but a lot of light remains
to be shed on their acting ability by
a screen drama that dolls them up in
Eton jackets, or something like that,
and demands that they be little gen.

experience might mark them psyche

ALL WORLD STAGE
FOR TRICK GOLFER
Even Jungle Kings to Be
Entertained by Redmond,
Now Showing Here.
BY WALTER McCALLUM,

Trick shot golf stuff gets a fellow
around. Jack Redmond. the stubby
little fellow who is about Washington
now doing series Of golf stunts that
have the customers agape with curl
osity, is about to embark on a $4,000
mile trip around the world, during
which he'll play in all the faraway
spots he can find.
Jack has been around the world
twice before, doing the same thing,
but there are few spots he has
missed. He'll make them this time.
Not long ago, Jack organized a
troupe OF pretty gals who went along
with him in COLTS only road show,
and put on stage performance
following his golf patter. Altogether
Jack had quite an act. But he's alone
now.
Can't Miss In Jungle.
Following an exhibition at Con-
gressional this afternoon and one or
two more which he has yet to bill,
he will set forth for Cincinnati and
the Southwest and about midwinter
will start the big hop which will take
him most of next year.
Its pretty interesting work." said
Jack. Particularly when you play
before jungle king with a flock of
wives inthe background. Yes, I've
done that, too. and I expect to do
more OF it on this trip
I'll hit Africa, the East Indies and
all the spots I've missed on my other
trips and If I can get away without
having my head lined up in one of
those jungle huts I'll do all right.
I don't dare to miss one among the
savages. They might think it isn't a
joke"
Must Tone Act Abroad.
No other angle Of golf gets a fellow
around like trick shot work. Joe
Kirkwood, the original trick shot
artist. is not long back from q trip
around the globe. and Redmond is
ready to embark on his third circuit.
Il will miss the quick reactions of
American audiences" says Jack. "They
catch on quickly and il I make q wise

But I guess can tone down my stun
