SMOOT'S STAND BLOCKS SENATE ACTION FOR OAT Committee Dispute Ends n Recess: Party Split Threatened. BY PAUL R. MAI IOV I'nlM Prm Staff Corrrspond.nl WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—A split In Republican party ranks, perhaps wider than the tariff rift, was threatened backstage in the senate today when Chairman Smoot refused to let the farm bloc applicants go on his powerful senate finance committee. Smooth Is understood to have threatened to resign rather than let the farm bloc have its way. Smoot s action in a secret session of the Republican committee on committees caused a deadlock which forced the committee to end its labors for the day and adjourn until tomorrow in the hope that some way may be found to bring about a settlement. The farm bloc applicants for two vacancies on the committee are Senators Robert M. La Follette • Rep, Wis.) and William H. McMaster (Rep., S. D.) t each of whom helped play havoc with Smoot's tariff bill in the senate. Under the senate rules of seniority, it would appear impossible to keep one or both of them off the committee, but Smoot was adamant. Thomas Suggested Some of the other Republican leaders acting as peacemakers suggested that .Senator Thomas (Rep., Idaho), be named, but Thomas was not entirely acceptable to the farm bloc, with whom he votes occasionally. Deeper than the personalities involved is the fight of the mid-west-erners to be represented in the making of legislation. None of them was on the committee when it considered the recent tariff bill. The candidate of the regulars for the second post on the committee 1= Senator Goff <Rep., W. Va., who ranks slightly ahead of La Follette, but even with McMaster, If Smoot persists, it is possible hts action may result in a thorough fight on the floor of the senate, reviving the old charges of Senator Moses (Rep., N. H.) that the westerners are “sons of wild jackasses” and the statement of Senator Grundy (Rep., Pa.) that they “come from backward states and should talk dam small.” Prohibition Aired There were more private debates going on the floor of the senate when the public debate over the silk schedule of the tariff began. This schedule was taken up when Smoot gave in to opponents of the sugar schedule and agreed to postpone consideration for several days. , The prohibition situation was aired In the house, where Representative La Guardia (Rep.. N. Y.). wet, rtted figures to indicate that, the drinking in Idaho, home state of the dry leader, Borah, is greater per capita than in New York. Woman Takes Poison Mrs.. Alfa Adams, 37. of 1108 North New Jersey street, took poison this morning and is in a serious condition at city hospital. The husband, William Adams, found his wife unconscious when he returned from work for the noon meal. 11l health was believed the motive.

KING ARTHUR SPILLS SOME WICKED SLANG Richard Lane, Mary Adams, Nana Bryant as Well as Stark Patterson Walk Away With the Honors. BY WALTER HICKMAN CAN you imagine King Arthur of the Round Table using a safety razor and being told that his queen was in the apartment of Sir Launcelot? And then stretch your imagination and hear that old guy of a Sir Launcelot tell the king that he was full of prune juice. Anyway that is the goings on in the musical satire adaption of Mark Twain's. “A Connecticut Yankee.” And what merry goings on it is. Now do not get the idea that this is a girl show or a musical revue. It pokes fun at Kins’* Arthur and we modems who dish out so much slang along with our go-getting-s;)irit. The chorus Ls not large but quite enough to

cart around over the country now days. At that it is as large as those we generally get in musical comedies. This bunch can sing well and they know how to hoof. The princinals are there to make you laugh.

In other words they are comedians and every one of them know their way about in that merry busln es s. The thing that I enjoyed about this company is that although they have been together for months and months and then some, they went through their paces last night just as if it were a real first

night. This show has to have sparkle on the part of every pmcipal and this cast has just that. The music does not call for great singing. This is a fun show' although there Is tucked away in it several good tunes such as “Thou Swell.” “My Heart Stood Still,” and "On a Desert Isle With You.” “A Connecticut Yankee” gets a modern start, that of a farewell stag dinner to Martin, who is going to be married tomorrow’. His bride to be comes in on the merry making and asks where are the naked women. She is told by Martin that they are putting on their clothes. Then in sails a sweet little flame by the name of Alice Carter and she has a bunch of kisses for her Martin. In comes the would be bride, socks Martin on the bean with a champagne bottle and he goes off in a trance. He dreams that he ls taken captive by a man in armor and hailed before King Arthur who orders him to be burned at the stake. All the

now learn value of Magnesia

Because it is so helpful In keeping babies and children healthy and happy, every mother should know about Phillips Milk of Magnesia. This harmless, almost tasteless preparation is most effective in relieving those symptoms of babies and children generally caused by sotfring food in the little digestive tract, such as . sour-btiching, frequent vomiting, feverishness, colic. Asa mild laxative, it acts gently, hut certainly, to open the little bowels in constipation, colds, children's diseases. A teaspoonful of Phillips Milk of Magnesia does the w’ork of half a

time, Martin, this Yankee, ls using his brain because he remembers something he read in history and he puts that on the king. So he becomes the Boss of the kingdom, puts in a lot of reforms and causes the entire court to express itself in modem slang. Hot dog. So you see there is a lot of fun possible and none has been overlooked. Richard Lane ls first seen as Martin and he then blossoms forth when struck on the head as the Yankee who Invades King Arthur's kingdom. Lane is a funmaker w’ho does not o.erdo the job. This man knows the difference in the delivery’ of comedy and satire. He knows how’ to get the laughs as well as the howls. He is a fast worker and he seems to enjoy the job. He has dash and plenty of that “it” stuff. In other words he is mighty good at the job. Mary Adams is the cute little thing that first plays Alice Carter in the prologue and then blossoms forth as the Demoiselle Alisande La Carteloise, but christened Sandy for short by Martin. She is a good dancer and mighty cute. Nana Bryant is immense in her big scene in the queen’s room in her own palace. She is w’hat one may yell to the w’orld as one of those rather hot queens who knows her oats. Good in talking voice and a fine sense of the fun in every situation. Starke Patterson is Sir Galahad and he, too, takes on the modern way of talking. Patterson ls a fine dancer. He has an Individual way about him that makes one want to watch everything he does. George E. Mack is splendid as the magician. Many others in the cast. 1 can recommend “A Connecticut Yankee” as mighty good and smart fun done in a mighty pleasing way. Remember this is satire. It ls a

pint of lime water in neutralizing cow’s milk for infant feeding, and preventing hard curds. Its many uses for mother and child are fully explained in the interesting book “Useful Information.” It will be sent you, FREE. Write The Phillips Cos., 117 Hudson St., New York, N. Y.

Charles Ray

Ray does not bring his “movie self” to the stage. Instead, he brings a nicely studied individual program of songs to the stage. This man loves music. He loves to sing and j he is studying right now under a ! recognized master in New York, j Not that he has given up the movies, j I judge that he is waiting for the i right talking story. Ray will not do just anything on the screen. He is j still in demand but he will wait until the right story turns up. And I think that Ray is right in not being a Hollywood movie star on the j vaudeville stage. Thank goodness j for that. I admire his judgment.; He is sincere in song and above all he has artistry along that line. He j cracks no Hollywood stories but j sticks to his knitting which this time is song. He brings the Ray personality to melody. His songs are away from the loud doo-doo-doedy-doedy ( stuff of the hour. There is a fresh- j ness and a beauty about his songs.

Ray is the intelligent gentleman. Never stooping to the obvious trick to get applause. ♦ He even has a portable organ in his dressing room where he and Ray Gold, his pianist, try out new ideas, and improve upon the old. Here is one of the very few movie stars on the stage today who has the right to br,* considered seriously as an independent stage artist instead of leaning upon past reputation. And that is saying tons. McDonald and Paradise are strongest when dancing. Good in that line, especially the dance by the baby buggy. Wylie and Young go in for comedy about a husband wanting to make whoopee when wife goes to the country. Act is well mounted. The De Long family go in for the regulation acrobatic stuff. The movie feature is way abo : the average. It is a serious study of a mother who dared to permit the wife of her eldest son, who is crippled for life on his w’edding day, seek pleasures in other fields. I recommend “The Sacred Flame” to the more serious theatergoer. Because it is tremendously acted by Pauline Frederick, Conrad Nagel, Lila Lee and Dale Fuller.
