J., March 23.— Princetor, University is making a drive agalnst roachouses and ‘‘hot dog"” stands in the college zone b cause of sales of lquor to under- graduates. At the same tlme the university is seeking to prevent the possession of automobiles by undergraduates. The authorities reel that automobiles go han din hand with the illegal liquor evil throughout the United States. Dean Christian M. Gauss appealed yesterday to Federal authorities at Trenton to wipe out a string of dives. His action followed several student affairs in which automobiles figured. Two students, arrested Suaday night, were fined for being drunk and disorderly and taking an automobile without permission. . Killed in Auto Plunge. Later a student was injured and a school teacher was killed when an automoblle plunged down an em- bankment near Freehold. A bottle was found in the wrecked car. Visiting Federal Judges Bodine and Clark and Federal Attorney Winne ubmitted a list of roadhouses and hot dog” stands. Recently Dean Gauss told the { Princeton Club of St.Louls that the prohibition amendment was lowering morals in American universities and should be modified. “What I personally think of the Volstead act is of no moment,” he said, in commenting on his visit to Trenton. “It is the law and as long as it is the law it should be en- forced. Autos and Aleohol. “The illicit drink evil as it now exists and the undergraduate auto- moblle nuisance go hand in hand throughout the country. The Prince- ton authorities have requested that parents withdraw from undergradu- ates the permission to own and drive cars while in residence and I have asked the Federal authorities to put a stop to the illegal sale of lquor in our territory. We shall be glad to have the co-operation of both.” President John Grier Hibben, speaking to ‘mothers of Princeton undergraduates yesterday, character- ized athletics as a moral safeguard and a naturz! outlet for the vigor of couth. He saild 88 per cent of his students took part in athletics. AMUSEMENTS POLI'S—"“Carmencita and the Soldler.” Lovers of the individual and beau- tiful in the theater will find & delight- ful experience in store for them at Poll's Theater this week, where the music studio of the Moscow Art Thea- ter is presenting two operas, cita and the Soldler” and “Lysistra- ta.” “Carmencita and the Soldier,” a | Russianized version of the Merrimee story, the product of the music branch of the Moscow synthetic thea- ter, was given splendid presentation last night. The music studio of the Moscow Art Theater is not a fad. It {s a heautiful conception, & strikingly novel venture deserving of the attention of those who patronize the best. “Carmencita and the Soldier” s ‘armen” as this particular school of Russia art sees it. It 18 the story of the flaming gypsy, vividly, bril- liantly acted as well as superbly sung. In its interpretation by this capable group “Carmencita” finds its de- departure from the conventional pro- duction of the Bizet opera. In the hands of Olga Baklanova the beau- tiful nomad, who lived for love alone, becomes a thing of fire, the tigress that is the Merrime concept. Equipped with a beautiful voice and a brunette beauty that fits the role to perfection, Baklanova makes Carmen a charac- ter of compelling power. The music of the opera has been transmuted to fit the Russian concept, but the Bizet flavor unmistakably is maintained. Baklanova's interpreta- tion of the“Habanera,” when she ls making her first overture for the love of the yokel soldier, Don Jose, was given the ovation it deserved. In the other big music of the production she was superb. Ivan Velikanoff sings Don Jose, the stupid Navarran, who falls madly in love with the gypsy and whose dull- ness leads him to cut off his own re- treat when she begins to tire of him. Velikanoff brings a delightful, pow- erful tenor voice and striking his- trionic talent to this impressive and diffi;cult role. Pyotr Saratavsky, cast as Lucas, the matador, who wins the gypsy from the stolid soldier, has a rich baritone fully adequate to the de- mands of the muslc, and his interpre- tation of the character attains the 1high standard set by the company as a whole. The other sololsts and members of the chorus have fine voices and talent to meet the demands of an opera su- perbly acted. Yet it is as an en- semble that the performance must be first regarded. Alternations are fre- !quent and no singer is permitted to establish a monopolistic claim to any particular role. The setting is a feature of “Car- mencita” worthy of comment. By a masterful use of light and shadow, bizarre and fascinating effects are achleved. This engagement Is worthy of atten- tion as the most sincere, competent and original grand opera this city has heard in many seasons. After the final curtain the audience remained to ex- press its enthusiasm by no less than eight curtain calls. BELASCO—"A Great Little Guy.” Those lucky enough to be at the Belasco Theater last night witnessed the birth of a lively and admirable contributfon to the realm of comedy- drama—"A Great Little Guy." Typically American, never smacking of foreign influence so common in comedy productions of today, this play moves through three acts with a de- lightful balance, accentuated by sharp- ly defined contrasts, keenly carved characters and carefully observed dramatic unities. It leaves a most en- Joyable attertaste. The story is a tale which easily lends itseif to dramatic treatment. At the outset we see a young husband, homse to cook supper for a tarrying wife whom he adores after one year of married life, and a couple who have been engaged for nine years dropping in to enjoy an evening meal in the $85 per month apartment. The great little guy has just gotten a dispossess notice. He has to move in five days. He is anti-sham. When his wife comes in she is all for sham and pre- | tense—fake jewelry, high alms. Her philosophy Sacrifice everything to {get things that make you look rich; associate with the rich, and then— why you'll get rich yourself. The little uy’s philosophy is: Be yourselt—plug long and 1'll get there, Under stress of the dispossess notice and under urgings by his wife and friends, he creates a mythical million- aire father for himself, and gently breaks the news to a hypocritical land- lord, with the that this smiling Stoical Indian Freed After Five Years In Cell for Murder He Did Not Commit By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March 23. —Edward Fluke, 30, whose Indian stoiclsm caused him to_serve five years in the Oklahoma Penitentiary for a murder he did not commit, was pardoned yesterday by Gov. M. Trapp. Fluke, a quarter-blood Indian, was ch: with the murder at Vinita of Harold Fry, a mail carrier, whose charred body was found in a partly burned hay stack 10 days after he disappeared in 1921. Fry’s motor car was located in pos- session of Fluke. The latter was ar- rested, but refused to talk. At his trial Fluke played the part of a silent observer, declined to testify and was convicted. He entered the penitentiary under life sentence. apartment house owner invites the lit- tle guy out for a week end at his Italian villa. The boy's employer drops in to see how he {s making out at home in con- sidering an application for a raise re- cently earned by the boy. The land- lord is a perfect grouch—narrow, stingy—with never a bit of sentl- ment. On moves the play to the denoue- ment—where the great little guy dis covers that “Ritzing it on nothing' yields no dividends; that the landlord with his magnificent air is as much bankrupt as is the great little guy: that the old grouch with no sentl. ment apparently had wrapped all his intense sentiment up in the memory of a wife who had died 20 years be fore and whom he had deserted on suspicion. Joe Laurie, jr., as Jimmy Sterling, the great Ilittle guy, makes one understand jugt how Napoleon him- self was such a great little guy. Vio- let -Dunn makes an admirable flapper wife. Joseph Kllgour as Pembroke, the landlord, turns in a rounded per- formance, and Ray Walburn, Ruth Donnelly and Charles Doe Clark espe- 2lally, with John T. Doyle and Dorothy [:hd(bum, all deserve honorable men- tion. WARDMAN PARK—'Not So Fast.” “Not So Fast,” the light comedy offering of the Thomas Herbert Stock Co., at the Wardman Park Thea- ter this week, gives Parker Fennelly, Ruth Russell and Ann French the best oportunities for showing their wares. Ruth Harrison, the talented star of the little stock company, has an interesting role which she carries Two years later Fluke made a state- ment accusing Levi Jenkins, Indian youth, of the killing. According to Fluke, he was in a motor party which included Fry and Jenkins. Fry re- E. |sented a remark Jenkins made about a young woman. A quarrel followed, in which Fry was killed. Jonkins was arrested and convicted of the slaying. He went to the penl- tentlary in 1923, but Fluke stayed on, too. The attorney general reported to the governor that Fluke's only crime ap- parently was iIn alding Jenkins to escape. In pardoning him the gov- ernor sald he believed he had been punished sufficlently for the lesser of- fense. off well, but the really clever lines are placed in the mouth of the petite engenue, Miss Russell, and she makes the most of them. ‘The story of the play, which origi- nally was called “Mr. Blimp,” is that of a slow-moving Kentucky guardian, who 1s not 80 dumb as he looks, and a rapidfire ‘co-guardian” from New York, who is even smoother than he seems to be. The children whose lives and fortunes have been placed in the cares of these two men are Mary Stan- dish (played by Ruth Harrison), the older sister; Rose Standish, the flap- per: (Miss Russell); Robin Standish, the collegiate brother, played by John Schellhaas. Miss French, as Fay Fothergill, wise little stenographer, enacts her role in such a maner that its brevity does not detract from its effectiveness. Robert Clear plays the New York guardian in a breezy mannew_ which sults the part and Sylvester Van, a freshman college chum of Robin’s is played by Ronald Savery. Leona Rob- erts has little opportunity to show her skill in the part of Kate, the Stand- ish maid. GAYETY—"Burlesque Carnival.” The show at the Gayety Theater this week {s Bob Travers’ “Burlesque Carnival,” featuring Welter Brown and Boob McManus as comedians. ‘This show has little to commend it. In fact, most of the comedy is of such & coarse type that the slapstick would be preferable. It was thought for a while that the Columbla clrcuit, of which the Gayety is a link, had ex- cluded this style of alleged entertain- ment from the theaters under its con- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, SORORITY REPORTS GUESTS WHO DRINK Disclaims Prudishness for Getting 10 Students, Who Split Quart, Suspended. By the Assoclated Press, ADRIAN, Mich., elaiming any prudishness in their nc- tion, the 21 members of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority of Adrian College to- March 23.—Dis- trol. This one evidently has escaped attention somehow. The cast, in addition to the two mentloned above, is made up of the following Inez de Verdier, prima donna; Ester Lang, soubrette; Bernice Adair, ingenue; Billy Harris, George Monfred and John Keller. Among the specialties is a singing act by Ester Lang and George Mon- fred that is novel and well done. As an added attraction the Georgia Sun- flowers Jazz Dand demonstrates that all is not music that flows from mu- sical instruments, D. C, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1926 day declared that they had reported the use of liquor by 10 man students who were guests of the sorority at a dance, because they were ‘“old-fash: joned girls with old-fashioned ideals. The 10 men were suspended by the college authorities until April 6, after they had admitted, according to Dr. H. L. Feeman, president of the col lege, that they had taken @ “nip frem a quart of lquor brought to the dance. President Feeman stated that the girls did not give the names of the boys, but merely reported the in- cident and asked that the boys be glven an opportunity to admit the drinking. The girls also asked that the names of the boys be withheld. Deny Prudishness. “We might be called prudes by some people, but we have ideals and traditions to uphold at this collegs and we did what @ believe is right,” said Miss Margaret Osgood, who acted as spokesman for the sorority when the matter was reported to President Feeman. 5 “It was not an easy thing for us to do. The boys were our friends and our guests, but they did not respect our hospitality and we were forced to take the action we did.” The members of the sorority point- ed out that the boys were not intoxi- cated and that Mrs. Madge Dietz, dean of women, who chaperoned the party, was not even aware that the boys had liquor. Following the party the sorority unanimously passed a resolution which said: “We, the members §f the Kappa “IWAS SICKLY AND COULDN'T EAT” Then Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN brought permanent relief Constipation takes its toll in health and happiness — but read what Mr. Jessup has to say: “T was always sickly and eould not eat —but last May I was told about Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
