feline ACTORS
OUTGROW PARTS

This is how crazy show bust
ness is. In "You Can't Take It
With You," at the National, the
company has two important actors
they can't take with them.
The actors, in this case, are the
two kittens who have a haphazard,
entirely ad lib part in the opening
scene with Eva Condor, who plays
the party of Penny, mother Of
all the crazy Sycamores.
Every six weeks, Eva says, they
have to get her a couple of new
kittens. They're of such a size
that they quickly grow out Of
their roles, nature being what it
is, and Equity Notwithstanding.
It's getting terrific, Eva says.
People calling up all the time,
wanting to adopt the footlight
fellneS.
In Chicago. if I had two
thousand of them, I couldn't
have filled the bill"
Eva's a local girl, you know.
Her father, a Civil War soldier,
and an Irish patriot in the Fenian
movement, was for years a super
visIng architect with the Treasury
Department.
She takes care Of the kittens
ones named Penny and the other

joined the show here Monday
herself. They sleep in her dress

she says.
And know who else is in the
show? Charlotte Walker. The
child star who came out Of the
Galveston flood with 81 and a
dress is still going strong after 80
years on the stage.
Charlotte panicked them for
years in stock here, when she
starred in 1.-THE Crisis" and "zaza.
That would be around 1907. She
played with Guy Standing before
he was Sir Guy, and she recalls
with a shudder a season OF Ibsen,
one August, here.
Charlotte's daughter, Sara
Haden, of the films, has just Joined
her mother here. Sara, incident
ally, got her first taste Of stage life
playing in the alley beside the Be
lasco Theater while mother was
inside knocking them into the
aisleS.
There were days when, Char
lotte said, Sara would get out Of
line, and have to be admonished
Charlotte was not above the occa
sion. She'd scold the kid in 6

GUIDE FOR CONGRESS

With bills now pending in Con-
greSs to give national representa-
ton to the District, it is impera-
tive that the referendum represent
the real feeling of Washington
residents, leaders pointed out.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis
CD of Illinois, co-author of one
of the bills granting District citi-
zens the rights accorded to others,
described the plebiscite to be held
April 20 as splendid" and declared
that in his opinion Congress will
follow the mandates of the people
as expressed in the balloting.
Senator Capper (R.) of Kansas,
long a proponent of suffrage for
the District, declared the plebiS-
cite is the best way in which
Washington residents can express
their views on the subject.
George w. Offutt, chairman of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, asked that the city be
divided into districts and subdis-
trictS, and that work be done
among the people, urging them to
vote in the plebiscite, that the
true desire of the District on this
important question may be ascer-
tanned.
Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, also urged
that residents of the District regis
ter their views at the polls.
VOTE BY MAIL SUGGESTED
An earnest advocate of local suf-
frage, DR.. George C. Havenner,
president of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, expressed
the view that a more representa-.
tive vote would be obtained in the
plebiscite if cards were distributed
to householders and mailed in.
rather than use the polls.
Full cooperation in handling the
balloting has been pledged by the
District Commissioners and other
officials.
