STAGE FOLKS DINE AT ONE
 RESTAURANT
If You Have Shirt on Your Back You Can Pay on
 the Cuff in N. Y. Cafe
BY GEORGE TUCKER

A NEW YORK, Jan 29-Practically everyone has a favorite restaurant yet few are so wholly monopolized by great names of the theatre as Ralphs Place, a small cafe in West 45tn Street, where every other door is a house of drama.
 Here most of the actors and &C., tresses on Broadway congregate after midnight or snatch nasty meals between performances. Ralph knows them all, intimately and well He knows their middle names, the names of their children, and the color of their neckties. Yet, it is surprisingly inexpensive, no more costly than at thousand other res- taurants scattered throughout the city.
 There are various reasons Tor Ralph success in the restaurant trade. He knows Broadway He has been a part Of it for 25 years. Then, too, his food is always excellent. But more important than this, I suspect, is his great tolerance and his will lngness always to give sympathetic attention to one and all

 There is one actress on Broadway, talented creature, whose luck on- ly recently has turned towards the bctter For eight months she was cut of employment, yet Ralph urged her to make his cafe her home and she dined there for eight months without paying She is in the money Yncw and you may be certain that @this bill has been settled and that she continues to bring her friends there for lunches, dinners, and late suppers.

he could devise scheme for almost
anything except getting what was COM
ing to him. So, in his genial, casual
way, he is broke.
Reading Jules Verne, when he was
10 years old, led him to capsize a.
roWboat on the Toms River in New
Jersey and test his staying powers in
the submerged air chamber. In 1894
he made wooden submarine, ID feet
long, with a soda water tank supplying
compressed air. 1t worked nicely. In
1894 he made the Argonaut, IT., in
which he cruised under the water for
thousands Of miles on Chesapeake Bay.
Like the Wright brothers, he aroused
little attention. He finally got WASH
ington interested when he telephoned
to the Capitol from the bottom of the
sea. His working submarine came
through. Washington didn't seem to
care much what he did, so he took his
invention to foreign capitals. Czarist
Russia made him some impressive Of.
fers but he rejected them All in all, he
became fed up with bureaucrats and
red tape and governments in general
and turned to deep sea treasure hunts.
The submarines. of course, destroyed
much more treasure than they ever
dredged up This troubles him. Vigor.

oped, or was diverted. into a discussion
of carrots and celery! A woman re-
porter, with whom the President likes
to banter, conceived the bright idea of
asking him what he thought should
be done to bring down the price Of
carrots. She said they are costing
her 2 cents apiece. Thereupon Mr.
Roosevelt took refuge in the technique
to which he often resorts when innocu-
Gus conversation will serve the pur-
pose Of changing an embarrassing
subject After the carrot colloquy, he
devoted the next minutes to narrat-

1t isn't only the frequency with
which, by accident or design, press
conferences are shunted at psyche
logical moments onto unimportant
sidetracks that inks some of the news
hawks. There's rising discomfort over
the ease with which these valued and
vital visits with the President are
turned into bedlam by wisecracks and
laughter The ace inquisitor among the
White House newsmen, Raymond P.
Brandt Of the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
had a typical experience this week.
1t is Pete" Brandt. one-time Missouri
Rhodes scholar at Oxford. who heckled
F. D. r. on the famous 1888 occasion
that led to the presidential ban on
Democratic national committeeman
as political lawyers in Washington. The
other day Brandt volleyed half dozen
questions about the Georgia and Mary
land primaries. Asked whether he
would support Senator Tydings, the
President replied: Everybody knows I
never participate in elections between
parties" That produced all-around
laughs. but Brandt did not cease fire.
He next reminded Mr.. Roosevelt that
at his preceding press conference he'd
stated he would have no objection to
the election of liberal Republican. "
An evasive rejoinder was the signal
for another round of merriment. with
the result that the whole subject was
forthwith drowned in airy persifiage-
but not before the master of the New
Deal disclosed for the first time that
he had missed predicting Tydings'
victory by only 1000!

Washington Observations
Newshawks 1red as White House Press Conferences
Turn to Wisecracks in Critical DAYS.

This observer, though disappointed,
like everybody else, at Mr. Roosevelt's
unwillingness to discuss the interna-
tional situation, understands, as all Of
us do, why the President of the United
States must watch his step on such
occasions. In the group of living
Interrogation points that face him are
German, Italian. japanese, French,
British and Russian newspaper repre-
sentatives. In five of these cases they
are reporters for government-con-
trolled news agencies. Anything Mr..
Roosevelt says will be on its way
across the Atlantic or the Pacific
within minutes, sometimes by trans
oceanic telephone. That is why,
usually, he says: Better ask the
State Department about that" when
somebody pops q poser on a ticklish
foreign affair.
But what many of the White House
journalistic crew crave Is less irrel-
evancy and ribaldry at press confer
ences, as well as curbing Of the sys-
tenn often suspected of being "in-
spired," whereby some one chirps:
Thank you. Mr.. President" signaling
that the session is suddenly at an end,
frequently when a lot Of important
questions are waiting to be submitted
BY and large. Mr.. Roosevelt's press
gatherings are Joy to the scribes.
He has an amazing sense of news
values, seldom sends his callers away
generally in way that is profitable
for all concerned.-himself included
But some of us think there's room
for improvement.
