He does most of the singing himself his latest song, made a hit. a group of old songs that were successes in their day, and with the company costumed appropriately, the wind-up of the revue is most en- joyable, many recalls being de- dy A group of “kiddies” from ‘Washington helped out in the Bow- ery song and deserve special men- tion for good work. In response to persistent applause. Mr. Edwards made a speech and thanked the audience for his splen- did reception. He said he is trying to present good, clean revues, and he looks to the patrons to back him up. A new pair of funmakers—FEddie Kane and Jay Herman—scored the laughing hit of the evening, the jokes being new and the comedy of the quick-fire variety. Frank Gaby failed to appear because of illness, and the veteran, Jim Thornton., was rushed into the breach, with the || result that the old boy foumd many ||new customers and made much laughter. , Rekoma opens the per- formance with a hand-balancing act; Mabel Burke and Helen Bell Rush give_an enjoyable song recital; Ed- die Buzzell and Peggy Parker were well received in songs, dances and quick-fire jokes; Clayton White and Grace Leigh company present their old sketch, “Cherie;” and Johannes || Josefsson and his company give an exhibition of Iceland seélf-defense methods.

It is attractive not only for its realistic staging, but also for the humorous dialogue which seems to run through the ages from the days when woman is the slave until she becomes the master, or mistress, as the case may be. James Thornto: famous in vaudeville as & member of the famous team of James and Bon- nie Thornton, still wins laughter with his amusing monologue on every- thing, relieved by funny songs, and the Gladiators present a fine number, featuring strength and skill in an ex- traordinary way.

Deduct- ing the item of permanent outlays, however, revenues, which aggre- gated $1,224,112,000, or’ $35.32 per capits, e: ed ' governmental costs by $255,902,600, it was shown. Revenue receipts exceeded cur- rent governmental expenses and interest in all but four cities of the group, the figures showed. while in 117 citles revenues ex- ceeded all expenditures, including permanent outlays. The total net indebtedness of the group was placed at $2,679,551,000, or $77.82 per capita, with that of New York city alone, $1,009,309,000, amount- ing to more’than' one-third of the otal. MRS. E. M. BIRD DIES. Wife of Rev. Wilmer Bird Suc- cumbs at the Dresden. Mrs. Eleanor Maud Bird, wife of Rev. Wilmer Clarke Bird and daughter of.the late Bishop Littlejohn of Long Island, died yesterday at her home in the Dres- den, 2236 Connecticut avenue northwest. She had been ill for five years. Mrs. Bird and her husband came to Washington in the hope that the change in climate might aid in her recovery of health. Rev. Bird has retired from the ministry. The body will be taken to Great Neck, Long Island, for funeral services and interment. nine cast. Her songs and dances are given with a degree of “pep” that makes quite a hit with the audience. A trio. composed of Billy Lynch, Charles and Andy Smith produced some good harmony and had to re- spond with several encores. Others in the cast are Kathryn Dickay, Adele Ferguson, Emily Dyer, cedes Lafay and Richard Clay: last, but not least, a chorus that can make itself heard above the efforts orchestra. 3 WASHINGTON, D. ( EXCESS OF $8,991,000 |COMMERCIAL AVIATION MAKES PROGRESS DURING 12 MONTHS O, TURSDAY, Achievements “during the past twelve months point' to steady de- velopment of aviation for commercial purposes in the United States, ac- cording to & statement issued by the Manufacturers’ Aircraft Association. The statement, in part, follows: “There is uttter lack of national regulation. We cannot hope to build up commercial aviation until proper legislation assures capital that it is entering a business project instead of a romantic adventure, and rates of insurance will remain prohibitive so long as no competent federal agency exists to determine the air- worthiness of aircraft er competency of pilots.
