THE TIMES

Aoino UP RUMPUS

f INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON, March 10. A row of no small proportions was threatened in Congress today over the action of the Treasury officials In "knocking" the Soldier Bonus Certificate plan worked out by the republicans of the Ways and Means committee. Several members of the committee including Representative Frear. republican, of Wisconsin, served notice they would deal with the matter on the floor. Various and conflicting statements, attributed to Comptroller of the Treasury Crisslnger to the effect that he would advise National toanks against accepting- the certificates as security nroused particular Ire. By some newspapers most radically opposed to bonus legislation, Chlsslnirr was quoted as statins that he worjld "forbid" National banks acceptingsuch paper. By others he vas merely quoted as !tatinr he would advise against acceptance of any large amounts of it. Comptroller Crlssinger was enroute to his home in Marion. Ohio, today and calls at his office failed to elicit an fTicial statement of his exact remarks, .-"it members of the Ways and Means onimittee said they would ask from "' floor under what authority Treasry officials deign to "interfere with framlns of laws by Congress" and where thoy pet the authority to ad-i-e the ignoring- of non-compliance Ith 'awa framed by Congress."

P'.ainclr.thesman Bogardus, member of the c?fnge squad of the Gary po;ee department took his first cold r:unste of the 1922 bathing season this morning, but according to "Bogy" as lie is more commonly known and he doesn't play golf either, it came rather unexpected. Eogy and detective sergt. Jim Conneily were out on the south aide trying to round up some more stills and moonshiners and it was shortly after missing a big haul that they spied a sack which looked like it might contain a still lying out in the high waifr near loth avenue and Clark Road. Bogy, thinking himself a little more daring and footsure than Mr. Connelly stepped out onto a log and representing a tight rope walker started on his thrilling stunt to the end of It. Things did not go so well for Bogy however, and the next thing, all Mr. Connelly could see was a big splash. While Jim could not help but smile i! was no laughing matter for the shivering dry sleuth. Connelly rushed to the side of the water dripping form of fsog-y and assisted him back to terra firma. Thus ended the morning's sieuthing as Bogy had to hurry to his home to put on some dry and warm clothing.

Capture Crowded House at the Parthenon with Songs and Dance Instead of Sabros. BY HAROLD CROSS. vvh.r, Pni Barnes, a buck private o-

leave. entered the Hotel Alx-les Bain

on the stage of the Parthenon theater at Hammond last night, and registered tor a one-franc room he was not alons. Every A. E. v man in the audience was Fat's buddy for the evening in Paris, ready to fight "frogs." flirt with the ma'am'Helles or sample the vim blanc and the cognac of the cafes. Had the post-war brides In the audience read the minds of their subdued ex-

hero husbands many a pleasant dream

and his first visit to Paris listening to a sermon at a Y. M. C. A. hut it was no

doubt a disappointment. The buck

sang no hymns and hts deportment was exceedingly worldly. He was out

for a lark like a cowboy in Butte, Mont., or a Lake county politician at French Lick. When a soldier becomes A. W. O. L. it means he Is "after women or liquor," Pat Barnes states early In the show, and then proceeds to capture the girl and forget all about the liquor. The girl is pretty Dorothy Nlerengarten as Nancy Lwe, an American welfare worker, and sh wins the buck as against the distracting loveliness of the ma'am'selles led by Cecil Abblett, of 'the K. of C. minstrel fame, and Kthyla Doyle with a sprightly chorus. Pat Barnes meets an amusing crowd at the famous "Battle of Paris;" Chester B. Hilton as the hard-boiled "top Kick," Rudy Monberg andl Nicholas Scatcna, th.. bell hops: Joe Burns, an M. P. and Oscar Borchart, jr.. In the part of Sambo hotel porter. Following a prologue effectively delivered by Barnes the frolic opens In the audience with George Smith as a buck private occupying a seat In the 'oiTlcer's section." The buck is ousted but he issues a resounding defi to all officers from shave-tails to the

general and the crowd Is won over to "A Buck On Leave." K1GVELL AS BLACK JACK. C. O. Kingwell takes the part of General Pershing, but the buck is not overawed by the commander-in-chief and when he encounters that great personage In the lobby of the Alx-les-Bains he familiary inquires how things are at the Simplex. Instead of ordering the buck to the Brig. Gen. eral Tershing replied very pleasantly to this unexpected sally to the effect that business was good and if Pat would drop around he would put him to work in the foundry. PltODlTEB AND ACTOR. But I 'at had all the work he could do, right there on the stage of the Parthenon. The burden of the show rests upon his lanky frame and he carries it with a smile, despite the annoying slowness of the electrician. In fact the only thing amateur about the performance last night was the electrician and the orchestra. This evening it Is probable the electrician will have been sufficiently coached to follow the cues and the leader of the orchestra will be able to read the score. The trouble with the orchestra Is that the leader keeps a beat ahead of tha rest of his band and pays scant attention to the singers. These minor defects, always to b expected in a first performance, whether by professionals or amateurs, but not by tha house staff, did not mar the entertainment last night. With the full co-operation of the band and the stage crew tonight "A Buck On Leavewill be a finished show, one that you will enjoy even though you are not acquainted with any of the people in the cast. The uncles and cousins and the aunts of the clever young folks of the company were present last night In great numbers and numerous bouquets were sent over the footlights from relatives and other admirers. The Knights of Columbus sent flowers to the principals. The chorus of llttlo girls I dislike the term "pony chorus" could go on the road tomorrow, which it Is to be hoped they won't, and would le greeted by the newspapers as "petite, youthful, viv&clous and pretty." The girls are all of that. Even though we are led by previous local entertainments, chiefly the Knights of Columbus minstrel, to expect much of our girls, the little chorus of "A Buck on Leave" was a pleasing eurprlse. The little gtvls are Helen Turner. Nellie Meyers. Peggy Howard. Dorothy Dye, Margaret James. Florence Gilchrist, Lillian Gluth, Lei Bereolos, Marie Williams and Myra Stevens. No less good looking are the larger girls. Avis V. Abbott. Fern Bogard. Irene Rayraft, Laura McBee, Margaret, tfarnhouse. Floss JlcClure, Ella Brossell, Janice Young, Mollis Goodman, Teresa Koedick. Katherlne Brennan.

KIta Chakyen. Betty Wills. Ethel Mack '

and Eva Bloom. The costumes- worn fcy the girls were

becoming and in some numbers suffi

ciently blzarrs to lend th atmospher In which the show Is lntnded. The song hits last night were "Say It With Jobs," "Hello America" and "hip O Dreams." George G. Smith who sang "Ship O Dreams" had an opportunity In that number to use his talents effectively. He has a volca exceptionally well surted to ballads.

It is a good show, "A Buck on Leave" and the Veterans of the Foreign Wars who produced it have won another victory. The crowd couldn't get enough of Fatrick Henry Barnes and his Inimitable stories. He was born for the part like Joseph Jefferson and Frank Bacon were born for "Kip Van Winkle" and "Llghtnln." The fun he makes of officers, and the army life Is brighter than the lines of the "Follies." It i good fun. never overdone and always original. And it Is timely. When the

Buck appears wearing civilian pants and an army coat and explains tha when he got the 60 bonus from tho government he went to a store to buy a suit and could only get a pair of pants, we are reminded of 1919, when the soldiers came home to find suits selling ai t0 and 100. The son? 'Say It With Jobs" is a reminder to employers that roanv of

the forlorn fellows standing at the mill gates waiting for a Job are the heroes of yesterday, the hoys who weri told when th.y left for the army that the country would never forget them. "A Buck tin Lfave" is not an ordinar show It haa a lesson for us. It is a sugar coated p'.ll that we need to take to tone up our patriotism. It will do you good t see the show tmiltrhl or tomorrow nirht.

It would be difficult to distinguish between a number played on the Straube Player and that played by human hands, because in a Straube you can accomplish the same result as though one of the grand old masters were at the keys.

The Melo Harp is another feature that adds sublimity to Straube expression. The principle is so simple even a child can accomplish the wonderful results possible only with the Straube Player. This remarkable Melo-Harp can be brought into action at will," according to the wishes of the player, interspersed or played continuously with any player roll you choose.
