MOTOR INSPECTION
is LAW FOR 1889
Commissioners Must Con-
slider Supplemental Esti-
mate to Finance Set-up.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

All motor vehicles in the District
will be subjected to an annual me-
chanical inspection, commencing in
1889. under bill signed by President
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon.
The first step in preparing for en-
forcement of the new law will be for
the Commissioners to consider q sup
Elemental estimate for the appropria-
tion needed to establish testing sta
tionS.
If present plans of Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer are carried out,
three stations will be set up in dif-
ferent parts of the city. and the in
spections will be spread throughout
the year to avoid congestion and de-
lay.
The expense involved in setting up
and maintaining the TESTING places will
be met by the collection Of an in
spection fee Of 81 in 1899 and so cents
a year thereafter.
The plan under consideration for
facilitating inspections is to have the
motor vehicle department stamp on q
motorists registration card when he
gets his tags the period of the year
within which he will be expected to go
to one of the testing stations to have
brakes, steering gear and other essen
tial mechanical equipment examined.
Congressional action on the meas
ure was completed about a week ago,
when the Senate agreed to House
amendments making the inspection
annual. instead Of twice a year, and
providing that the inspection fees
be credited to the highway fund, from
which street Improvements and traf-
fic administration are financed.
According to recent report OF the
United States Bureau of Public Roads,
~ States now make provision for
periodic inspection of motor vehicles.
In six Of these States the requirement
Is limited to specified cities or classes
OF municipalities. In nine States the
inspections arc made by employees OF
the State or municipality, as they will
be under the District law. Local
trafic officials believe the inspection
will promote safety.

At Cross Roads

When The Cross Roads The.
ater chose Paul Osborn's play
THE Vinegar Tree" for their
current attraction, they chose
with extraordinary cunning.
Not only does it possess dialogue
that vibrates ease and bright
ness, but claims all the at
tributes of good comedy. It's
characters are well defined, and
even when they speak of bio
logical urges Of all generations,
particularly that of the younger,
the lines are so cleverly written
that laughter is inevitable.
WAS BROADWAY HIT
1t was these qualities that
made it a hit Of Broadway sew
eral years ago, and it should be
the hit of Cross Roads this sea-
son. When ever they want a
play to be a success out there,
they call in their '"Three
MusketeerS," Catherine Ryan,
David Kaigler and Jack Wilson
and the opus is well on its way
for a hit.
Miss Ryan must be compli-
mented for her Interpretation
of Laura Merrick, a frivolous,
Ight-hearted lady whose mem.
ory is not much longer than the
point of a pin. She plays with
all the gaiety and affectation
that is called for. Never under
playing or vice-versa. It might
even be said that she has drunk
a generous portion of Holly
woods Billy Dove.
HEIGH-HO DIRECTION
AS Laura's daughter. Leone.
Rebecca Rice possesses all the
admirable aspects Of a sweet,
innocent girl out to discover
what love really is. With the
help of her sweetheart, Geof-
frey. played by Don SiSler, she
finds out. Both measure up well
for their portrayal Of kids in
the puppy love" stage.
Jack Wilson and David Kaig-
Ter, both in difficult roles, don't
seem to rise to the standard set
by them in previous perform
ances. Kaigler does pull all the
laughs from his part that seem
present, and Jack Wilson de-
serves a "heigh-ho" for his di.
recting.
The others in the cast are
William Draper and Josephine
Orendorff.-R. H. S.
The Washington times., 1938-08-23

Just to prove their talents are
not confined to the blood-and-
thunder type of melodrama, the
Roadsiders this week present
sturdy, romantic drama Of the
old school from the pen of the
renowned Augustus Thomas.
Alabama" was the first Of
the So-called State plays by the
father of American drama and
set the pattern for others.
AS performed by the members
of the Roadside troupe, the play
retains the qualities that en-
deared it to an earlier genera.
tion of theatergoers. There is
no attempt to burlesque or over
act the roles.
DIGNIFIED VILLAIN
The villain, as portrayed by
Norman Rose, is a thoroughly
despicable but dignified charac-
ter, and the audience is seldom
tempted to greet him in the ira
ditional fashion. AS for the rest
of the cast, each strives to outdo
the other in Southern chivalry.
Take Colonel Moberly, the edi-
tor of the Talladega Sentinel, a
leading legal light, the COM
mander of the Talledega light
artillery and a candidate for
Congress. AS played by George
harrington, the colonel COM
pletely overwnehns the audience
by his nobility of character.
In eloquent and flowery phrases
he extolls the virtues Of South
ern womanhood and is even
ready to defend their honor with
pistols before breakfast.
The colonel is torn between
his love for two widows, each
of whom possesses land which
the railroad may require for q
right-of-Way.
There are others in the cast
who also give noteworthy per-
formances. There is Ralph
Fowler, who enacts the role Of
Captain Davenport, the prodi-
gal son who had run away from

Well, Douglas COrrigan has
taken better advice. He has
signed with RKO-RadiO for his
life story, a contract that gives
him $25,OOO for his career yarn,
and $4,000 more if he appears
in it. He is said to have accepted
a $4,000 binder ON this deal.
In addition, McFadden Publica-
tiOns gets his own story of the

Mr.. COrrigan probably reasons
he is flying in the right direc-

which will help him buy a more
modern plane to replace the
onion crate that laughed at the
