L Criticism of hoth Gov. Ritchie of Maryland as a possible Democratic presidential candidate and of Edmund Budnitz ot Raltimore as prohibition administrator for the district of Del- aware, Maryland and District of Co- lumbia was launched yesterday by the Methodist Board of Temperance, Pvo- hibition and Public Morals. “They have been talking of Gov. Ritchie of Maryland for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination,” sajda statement from the board. “When they get through joking, why not trot out a few real candidates? If Ritchie | were nominated, the R¥publicans could !send any cub reporter to Annapolis and get enough real dope in one-half hour o make every real Democrat l\\l*h that Ritchie had never been born. Nomination Held “Outrage.” “What do the people who talk of such nominations as this mean any- way? Are they utterly indifferent to the political welfare of scores of Demo- crats now in Congress who come from communities where prohibition and patriotism are considered almost synonymous? Sometimes it seems that the Eastern Democratic machine has not the slightest interest in helping [these ‘men maintain their political positions. Ritchie’s nomination would take dozens of them wut of (" and would be ne vaxe upnn them.™ Concerning the prohibition adminis trator at Raltimore. the statement said. “Whether Mr. Budnitz can be | justly accused of being ‘wet’ or not, it |i= beyond dispute that he is believed throughout the State of Maryland and the State of Delaware to be wet in his sympathies, hostile to the principle of the prohibition law and without the wility to enforce it. “The conditions in Maryland are NATIONAL—"These Charming People.” merry thing with “These Charming People,” which opened last night at the National Theater, with Cyril Maude here to bid Washington farewell. This visit is| Mr. Maude's last and occasions regret, but doesn’t make his farewell gloomy. Rather, it is a happy, joyous thing that gave no one in the audience time to reflect that he was seeing the last of this splendid comedian. The advent of “These People” also brings to Washington Michael Arlen, the Anglicized Ar menian, whose quantity production of Jolly quips has made him a vogzue among publishers and producers. The popularity of Arlen is distinctly under- standable. His play, which is far dif- ferent from the novel by the same name, may be a bit of fiuff, but it's as delightful a bit of fluff as one has seen on a Washington stage this Win- ter. 4Plays are not cast any better than this. “At the top, of course, is Cyril Maude. Not far below him are six others with a penchant for comedy, who give to Arlen's lines the exactly rizht pitch of sophistication. “Thzee Charming People” is a farce, built upon the butler-heiress theme. Mys. James Berridge. the daughter of Sir Georgee Crawford and the wife of the go-getter publisher who has little left to get, thinks she is tired of her husband and deicdes to run away with Geoftrey Allen. Geoffrey is a member of the literati who “was made to be a co-respondent.” Well, to make a long story short, it turns out that Geoffrey i8 no other than Herbert Minx, son of the Crawford butler. Sir George, Pamela, his charming voung daugh-| ter: her fianc2, Mr. - Berridze. and Miny, the butler. are terr shocked | to think of the situation that pots Crawford in the \of eloping with a Minx. In his autocratic way Minx resents it just as much as the Crawfords.

GAYETY—"Sliding Billy Watson.” One of the best known and best liked comedians on the burlesque stage is at the Gayety Theater this week, Billy Watson, erstwhile known as “Sliding Billy."” Watson made the one big mistake of his career when he failed to take out a patent on the slide which he originated and which is now being used by a number of comedians. But then he does not need the slippery shoes (o be funny, for he has a bag of tricks to bring the laughter from his audience, one of these being his ability to make the funniest noises imaginable with his throat. Watson puts on a little burlesque on the troubles an automobile driver experiences that is one of the big fun hits of the show. Bernie Green is a big help to Watson in the comic roles and, in_addition, proves to be some- what of a dancer and violinist. Some very good music is inter- spersed with the comedy, the best of it_offered by Sylvia Noir and Philip White, who sing some high-class numbers. Though at times they were interfered with by the loud playing of the orchestra, they were applauded time and again for their pleasing volces.
