M’Evoy Has .a Failure ' This Time r I, Allez Oop” Does Not Hit Standard of Other Successes, BY DIXIE HINES NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—When a ' case \va* being tried in the supreme Court of the State of New York in which the question of a theater ticket agency and its acts were involved, the learned judge said that there could be no limit as to the price that could be charged for a theater ticket, but the purchaser Was not obliged to pay it. In short, he held that theaters are not a necessity, and unless you want to patronize tnem you don’t heed to. Which is a happy solution to the weeks’ offerings. If it were compulsory to see such revues as those recently produced, it would be more than a hardship, it would be a penalty. J. P. McEvoy, who writes the sweet things on Christmas cards, wrote a fine comedy in “The Potters.” He did a neat job in “Americana” as well, but in “Allez Oop,” the new one just introduced, leaves much to be desired. They have spent a lot of money on the costumes and the settings, and they have some pretty good players but no great number of them. But when all is said and done it takes more than costumes and actors to make a show, and that is all the management has thus far offered. Maybe in the near future things will be different, but just now if you want to see “Allez Oop,” it is at the Earl Carroll theater, and if you don’t see it there is - no cause to grieve. A New Revue “The Marhattaners” a rather clever intimate revue that was first shown to the public down in Greenwich Village, has gone native and come up Broadway. ‘ It is at the Belwyn Theater and is slightly improved. Some new names have been added, a few extra skits and a form of professionalism attaches to it that was lacking down below, but a hit up here, the chief credit belonging to Jacques Cartier who does two interesting dances, one a Chinese and the otha- a Congo voodoo dance. The latter is the most thrilling dance this scribe has ever seen on Broadway. For comedy there is Eleanor Shaler turning the hands of time back, to the nineties and Ringing the songs that were dear to Cur hearts then, but that produce only ribald and unrestrained laughter now. Presumably they can do what they please to Our Nell now and no one cares. Miss Shaler is an exceptionally fine comedienne, and she renders her "Sad Songs of the Gay Nineties” with a most delight-

It is being presented along the seashore, and Galina Kopernak and Herbert Yost are the stars, if popularity and cleverness makes them stars. It may be somewhat changed before it comes to town, but the sophisticates of the seashore like it. “The Medicine Man,” opens out of town next week with Miriam Hopkins and Howard Lang playing the leading roles. “Enchanted Isles,” by Ida Hoyt Chamberlain, to be produced uy American Allied Arts, opens shortly with Madeline Grey and others. It is a better class come v dy than the usual. Sydney Shields is expected to reach Broadway this week and when she arrives “The Famiiy Skeleton” will go into rehearsal. It has already been tested on the road witn satisfactory results, and it is due to open in New York early next month. PRESS VETERAN DIES Samuel F.

Corinne Griffith Runs Yacht and Garden for Her Hobbies

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 13. Corinne Griffith—actress, gardener, sailo* and what not. - Those titles aren’t fictitious, either, for the cinema star can rightfully lay claim to each of them. i The world in general knows Miss Griffith only as a beautiful figure on the silver screen, but behind that make-up is the gardener and sailor. Corinne loves fresh vegetables so she grows ’em in the back yard of her Beve.’.y Hills mansion. The actress herself cares for the small garden—it isn’t left lor a caretaker. Miss Griffith must have at least an acre or more for a back yard, and she keeps the valuable property looking very rustic all the time. A playhouse is built in the branches of a tree near an artificial pond. Back. of this is the vegetable garden It is during the week-ends that Corinne turns sailor. Almost every week she can be seen heading toward Los Angeles harbor, where her schooner Wanderlust rides at anchor. An hour later the craft is heading out to sea under full sail, bound for Catalina Island or some other resort within easy sailing radius. “Sailor” Griffith is usually at the wheel on such occasions. She has a regular skipper, but he is allowed to take things easy while the actress known as screenland’s ablest yachtwoman, takes command of the ship. “I love the feel of a yacht’s wheel in my hand,” Corinne told me one day while proudly showing off her craft. “I can even haul on a rope some, though of course I’m not very good at it. But I can steer by compass, and the only time the skipper has to take the wheel is to relieve me when I am tired. “Some day I am going to take a real long trip to Tahiti, the Philippines of the South Seas, but that will have to be when I ean have

AIMEE STANDS ALONE Mother Relinquishes Control of Angelus Temple. Bn United Frees LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—Aimee Semple McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, have separated as business partners, terminating a relationship of ten years. The split, which followed a bitter dispute over control of Angelus Temple, is supposed to be final and permanent. • While a traveling evangelist, Mrs. McPherson joined her mother, then a New York Salvation Army worker, in campaigning throughout the country. Seven years ago the pair came to Los Angeles and established Angelus Temple. An agreement has been made for division soon of personal property jointly held. With her mother relinquishing control, the evangelist now plans to carry on her new organization of Lighthouse churches. PERSIMMON BRIGADE - SURVIVORS TO MEET May Be Last Gathering of Civil War Unit Some ten or twelve old soldiers, last survivors of the famous Indiana Persimmon brigade of the Civil War will gather here Wednesday, Sept! 7, for what probably will be their last meeting together.

This year’s meeting will be held in the Grand Army League home, 512 N Illinois St. The meeting will probably be the last because death has reduced the membership to so few, and those who are still alive are becoming too old to travel to the gathering each year. . p Major Robert Anderson Post and W.

BY KEITH JONES United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Aug. 13.—“A1l wrong,” is the verdict of British scientists on Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler’s claim that for the first time in 2,000 years the world is without a single great man. Sir Oliver Lodge, eminent scientist, named two men, almost un- ' known to the public, as being not 1 only great, but geniuses. Dr. J. H. Hopper, mathematician, of Dorking, Surrey, and Prof. A. S.

In the field of science we are today at the very crest of the wave, greater than ever before. “We are In a great revolutionary period. Great changes are being made unknown to millions of people. who live their lives in the hurlyburly of the modern world. “I could name half a dozen geniuses, but it would not be fair to them to bring them so abruptly before the public,” said Sir Arthur Keith, one of the world’s greatest archeologists. ART OF EATING BEING LOST IN DRY AMERICA Famous Restaurant Man's Cook’s Tour Shows Europe Ahead Bu \EA Service NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-America is becoming a one-armed lunch room, a place where people “wolf” their food and give little thought to the serious business of eating. So says George Rector, once the proprietor of one of New York’s most famous restaurants of yesteryear. After making what he called a "cook’s tour” through the capitals of Europe, he declares himself surer than ever that he will not open another restaurant in unappreciative America. Rector says that prohibition has made impossible the preparation oI piquant and tasty sauces by its banning of sherry and port. French cooking technique, he believes, Is supplanting other methods all over Europe.
