r WENT TO the Capitol The
i ater one evening recently
and was somewhat depressed
TO find the finest dramatic ac-
tress since Jeanne Eagels doing
comedy.
However. 1 am probably the
only one in New York who
knows she is the finest dra-
matte actress since Jeanne
Eaeels and that is not the
same thing at all as if George
Jean Nathan or Bob Coleman
or Bob Garland or Burton
Rascoe or some of those other
professional drammer sharks
knew II. or they would make
much bibble-babble about II and
presently the whole world

WELL. dear friends. il was one
w night in Los Angeles way
way out in California that l
came upon Miss Havoc in a one
act playlet with Sammy Levene,
and in this playlet she depicted
very mean dame, a situation
that surprised me greatly as
had known of her only as a
stage and screen dancer and
light comedienne.
Miss Havoc was working in
pictures at the time and as l
afterwards learned, took the
role in the playlet to crafty an
ambition TO tackle a dramatic
piece. She induced Sammy Le-
vene to join her though, OF
course, Sammy is no stranger
to the higher drammer. The
playlet was on so early you had
TO miss dinner 10 catch il and
few Angelenos are willing 10
make that sacrifice on the altar
OF Thespis.
In fact, the audience was so
small the night / saw Miss
Havoc that gophers played in
the aisle without fear Of being
stepped on. l think there were
six OF US, all told.
ON the sidewalk in front OF

I met AL Hart. the Los An

marked 10 him that Miss
Havoc was without doubt the
greatest dramatic actress since
Jeanne Eagels and he said:

ANDREW !. Haug, President, 'Lef Erikson" S. Of N.

1t is no easy job to be President
of a Sons of Norway Lodge with
close to one thousand members.
Aside from the "honorS' connected
with it, the President usually has
to participate in the work of one
hundred and one committees and
take most of the blame if any
thing goes wrong; he ought to
know every member by their first
name and understand many of
their personal problems; he should
have the wisdom of old man Solo
mon and the patience of the one
that was Crucified.
Andrew J. Haug may not be as
perfect as he wishes to be, but
he's quite satisfactory to the men,
bers of Left Erikson Lodge No.
of Seattle, the second biggest Sons
of Norway Lodge in the world.
Mr.. Haug was born July /,
1889, in Nordfjord, Norway. He
left home in 1907 and spent two
long years on Minnesota's prairics
before coming to Seattle in 1899
in time to participate in the prep
arations of the Worlds Fair held
here that year. After that he con-
tinued working as a carpenter
lumber jack and for a time took
contract work.

WhatNorwayHas
Paid In Lives

OF a total population of not
quite 100000, over 10000 Nor
wegians have lost their lives dur
ing the six years of war in Eu-
rope. The largest contingent is
made up of seamen, of whom 377
were killed in action between the
outbreak of the war and the 9th
of April, 1910. Since that time,
over 5000 Norwegian seamen have
lost their lives in line of duty. In
other words, over 1870 of Nor
ways merchant mariners will
never return to their homeland.
During the Norwegian cam
paign in 1910, the armed forces
of Norway suffered losses of APP
proximately 1,400 men, in addi-
ton to which there was an i'm
portant number of civilian casual
ties. Of the Norwegian fighting
forces outside of Norway, heaviest
losses have been suffered by the
navy. The Norwegian Navy,
which today has fighting
strength of $500 men, has suf-
fered 600 casualties. Of the Nor
wegian flyers who joined the air
force during the first year follow
ing the invasion, very few remain;
it is estimated that over 800 flyers
have lost their lives.
Home Front Losses Heavy
Due to the peaceful liberation
of Norway, the army was spared
any heavy engagements. Losses
were suffered, however, in the de-
Tense of Spitzbergen, and during
the liberation of Walcheren in
Holland Norwegian paratroopers
have possibly suffered the heaviest
group loss of any branch of the
army.
On the Home Front, the Ger
mans have officially passed 324
death sentences. followed by exc
cution. At least an equal number
have lost their lives in unrecorded
German murders.
