WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The coast guard’s oceanographic expedition on board the S. S. Marion has reached a point thirty-five miles off Cape Walsingham, Baffin Land, and now is anchored off the glacier at the spot where Dequervain started on his traverse of the Greenland Cap, according to radio reports received here. The approach to tin coast is blocked by heavy Arctic packs. The rate of movement of the glazier is about twenty feet a day, reports Lieutenant Commander Edward H. Smith, in charge of the expedition. Several three-inch shells were fired from the Marion and shook down growlers, or small icebergs, from the front of the glacier. An attempt was made to visit the ice cap inland, in accordance with the plans of the expedition, but prevailing bad weather kept the party from penetrating very far. The expedition expects to make important discoveries concerning the rate at which icebergs are formed and born along by ocean currents into the trans-Atlantic shipping lanes.

A SMALL JAZZTBAND BECOMES VERY BIG Rosiman’s Alabamians, Now at the Lyric, Prove the Point Success of an Orchestra Depends on Showmanship. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SOMETIMES a small orchestra may become very, very big both in ability and showmanship. The greatest problem that the stage band has to solve is—how to be different from all other bands. And showmanship accomplishes that. This has always been my conviction and I am even more sure of it since I saw Rosiman’s Alabamians at the Lyric.

Here is a small jazz band, not over six pieces at any one given time. But this organization becomes

very big. The organization includes four men and two girls, one who also dances. She has an O r i e ntal dance number which is good theater. The man at the drums has a lot to do with the success of the act. He knows how to get “depth” out of his instrument and he is a comedian at the same time. He opens the act with a nut vio-

Dancer

lin number. This is an intimate sort of an opening before the band gets on. While he is fooling about, the crack violinist of the band comes on and the act then goes into full stage. The boys of the band have a lot of freak > novelty stuff. Such as the violinist losing his shoes and the drummer doing a burlesque mind reading stunt. This is showmanship. Another proof of this is when the pianist answers the telephone and talks to George. Every other word is “Yes, George.” And when she hangs up the receiver, she tells the audience that she has been talking to George. This is known as stage business and it takes wise showmanship to give birth to such. The clarinet number, “St. Louis Blues,” Is good for lot of appreciative applause. Here is a small band that becomes mighty. There is some interesting dancing in Small’s Stylish Steppers, especially on the part of the solo dancer. Dixon and Morelli have the regular “wap” act. Not startling. Orren and Drew start their act, “Mike—At the Phone” by burlesquing two small town entertainers trying to get on the air. The man in this act is a wonder when it comes to imitations of the barnyard variety. Clever act. Willi im Bence and company stage their act in a Chinese burlesque set. They gather importance when they start playing musical instruments. I missed the first two acts of the bill, Stanley Brothers and Attree, and Three Pepper Shakers. My fault, not the actors. Now at the Lyric.

VETERAN BARBER CUTS ONLY HAIR FOR MEN Evansville’s Oldest Took Oath Against Woman and Children Trade By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 21.—Albert Schmidt, 71, a barber for sixtyone years, and the oldest Evansville man following that trade, refuses to cut Women’s or children’s hair. Fifteen years ago, Schmidt explains, two women brought a little girl into his shop for a haircut. They stood at each side of the chair while he worked on the child’s hair, fuming and fretting. Schmidt was so disgusted that he took an oath that henceforth he would cut only men’s hair.

‘FRISKED’ FOR DIAMONDS Visitors on Boat Not Searched for Liquor, Says Dry Chief.

‘INDIANA IS FOR AL’ Peters Confident Democrats Will Win. “With energetic organization efforts, Indiana will give a substantial majority to Alfred E. Smith, and the splendid State ticket,” said a satement issued today by R. Earl Peters, Democratic State chairman, upon his return from New York, where he conferred with John J.

INSISTS WOMEN USE PROPRIETY IN COURT GARB Fair Judge Will Demand Good Taste; Dismisses Knickered Witness. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer EAST HADDAM, Conn., Aug. 22. —Court dresses for women are becoming a problem in this democratic country, particularly right here in New England, our democracy’s birth-place. Into court at East Haddam there came a lady in whose opinion correct court garb consist of knickers, buckled so as to discloss bare knees, and a jjeek-a-boo blouse. At least that’s what she wore. She had been an innocent bystander in a little affair of fisticuffs with which police had interfered. The testimony this witness might have given remains a mystery, because when Judge Belle Russell, took her peek at the witness she said with finality: "Go home and put on some clothes before you appear In this court.” It was a judge's as well as a woman’s last word, so the witness went. “It has come to the point where if we are to preserve any semblance of dignity in our courts, women will have to be told how to dress when they appear on the stand,” Judge Russell said later. “I have nothing against knickers. On the golf course or on a country road, I approve of them. But I wouldn't care to see bathing suits in church pew-, and I do not believe that a court of justice is the place for women to appear dressed as if for a vacation.” Mrs. Russell has been elected to serve as justice of the peace three terms. A woman of much charm and poise, she is popular in a com-
