AMUS George Scarborough's last offering was the “Sun Daughter,” starring Leonore Ulric, who strangled her Ori- ental stage spouse with his pigtail in their bridal chamber. The leading feminine part of the “Heaven Tappers” during its five weeks' try-out on the coast was Bessie Barriscale. Following rehearsals in | New York, where Margaret Lawrence, | Ann Davis_ and others failed to meas- | ure up to Scarborough’s interpretation, Miss Westbay temporarily assumed the role for the Washington premier. Scarborough gained his knowledge of moonshiners and confidence men | while in the Secret Service, before he turned playwright, according to his confession.

The Keith-Albee, Orpheum and af- filiated major vaudeville circuits are now observing a vaudeville centennial festival: to celebrate the growth and development of this popular type of amusement. It is true that a form of entertain- ment, from which the present-day vaudeville must have been derived, appeared earlier than a century ago. But prior to 182627 it was nothing more nor less than a means of cov- ering the long periods hetween changes of scenes and costumes, and a crude concoction of acrobatics and whatnot. It was o completely over- shadowed by the playbill that it man- aged to escape the attetion of the theatrical historians of that day. In 1826, however, vaudeville, then called variety, assembled its forces and began to bid for attention as &n entertainment within {tself. De- cember 18 of that year the New York newspapers carried the following an- nouncement: VLAFAYETTE THEATER, Laurens, Near Canal. “Mops. Villalave~and company re. epectfully anounce that he has made errangements to perform a few nights, and will make his first ap- pearance this evening. “This evening, December 18, the performance to commence with the grand dances on the tightrope by Master Villalave. only 9 years old, who will go through a variety of steps, wonderful for a child of his ege. Mile. L'Espagnolle, only 7 years of age, will surprise the audience with performance on the tightrope Villalave will dance a horn- on the tightrope, followed: by dances. Mons. Villalave will | perform a grotesque dance without touching the rope with his feet! The Chinese, in character of a clown, will rough many curlous tricks for musement of the audience. Mme. Villalave will dance on the tightrope Wwithout a balance pole, and wave two American flags in her hand. Mons. Villalave will dance a waltz without @ halance pole. Feats of agility by the whole company, Mons Villalave Will dance ‘on the ladder and keep time with the orchestra; he will ascend 10 the top of the ladder and descend 10 the bottom without it being sup- ported. The Chinese will take a colla- tion standing off his head on a candle- stick two feet high placed on a table, ing himself without assistance. s Begining America, “The Dumb ‘Girl of Genoa.” Until the advent of M. Villalave and his “wonderful” company it was an exclusive dramatic house, with, of | course, the embellishments’ that went with the drama at that time. den turn to vaudeville at that early date marks the elevation of the be- tween-acts specialties to an individual | ively small rooms. “The violin is the one instrument of the ‘club music’ line-up that can be played naturally and is, therefore, ac- corded considerable prominence. While club music must necessarily be toned down, this does not imply any lack of But it does imply more gracefulness and tuneful qualities than are to be foupd in the work of the average larger dance orchestra.” According to science it takes a great deal more energy to dance the Charles- ton and the Black Bottom than it does to carry out a day’s work. A group of Scandinavian scientists siological Institute of the of Helsingfors, in a report recently ‘received here, sets down in precise figures the number of calo- ries used in different kinds of dances. The waltz went to the bottom of the list with 3.99 calories used per hour per kilogram of body weight. The schottische, beloved of grandfather and grandmother, scored below the modern fox trot, using 4.76 calories, while the latter required 4.78. The polka, another institution of grand- mother's day, needed 7.56 calories an hour, while the mazurka, evidently the fastest dance learned Scandinavians could get any one to practice for them, took 10.87 calories, or almost twice the amount of energy consumed by a stonecutter plying his trade. It obviously remains for some Amer- ican research worker to find out the number of calories that need to be supplied to devotees of the Charleston and the Black Bottom. The Meyer Davis Soclety Orchestra engagements for the week are dances at the Italian and Cuban embassies, Mrs. Gist Blair's dance at Grasslands and the dance of the State Depart- ment Club. Engagements of the Sidney May- flower Orchestra include the ball of the 60s, the Georgetown Assembly, a dance at the Chevy Chase Club and § concert music for Mrs. Zachary Lans- downe's wedding. A Sidney orchestra has been booked for the Mi-Careme ball, March 28. “Pomp and Circumstance” is the name of the overture to be played this week at the Palace Theater by the concert orchestra. The overture fs one of the classics, interpreted with the shadow lighting impressions. The Ston Collegians in_ “Some Song tudies” are one of the stage attrac- tions.

America, England, Australia, Rus- sia, Rumania, Austria and Japan are among the nations represented by players in this feature production. The principal role is being portrayed by H. B. Warner, an Englishman, who achieved signal success on the stage before his recent screen debut. Mary Magdalene, the dominating feminine character in the scenario, is being played by Jacqueline Logan, a native of Texas, U. S. A., while Joseph Schildkraut, cast for the role of Judas, was born in Rumania. Brnest Torrence, portraying Peter the Apostle, is Scotch, having been born in Edinburgh. Australia is represented by Dorothy Cumming, who has been intrusted with the role of the Madonna, and Russia by Theodore Kosloff, as a soldier deep in the confidence of the High Priest, Calaphas. The latter role has been filled by Rudolph Schildkraut, who was born in Con- stantinople. Pontius Pilate is being played by Victor Varconi, the young Austrian actor who made such a success in “The Volga Boatman,” and Sojin, a Japanese character actor of excep- tional ability, portrays an Oriental prince in “The King of Kings.” JANET RICHARDS Will Resume Her Talks Public Questions: H;):l';e and Foreign 2 Monday morning, Feb. 28th at 10:50 Masonle T-nfl: !.‘flns:lh.

THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FEBRUARY 27, 1927—PART 3. ARAMOUNT'S ~ determination to bring new faces to the screen has crystallized into a fixed policy with the establishment of the Paramount Stock Co. This new organization, which ia to include every player under contract to Famous Players-Lasky, except the stars, it is announced, is to have as its primary purpose the development of the screen possibilities of every mem- ber to the fullest extent, as well as to acquire other promising players who reveul the possibilities of future stardom. B. P. Schulberg, West Coast execu- tive for Famous Players-Lasky, who has been one of the outstanding pro- ponents of the “new faces” policy, conceived the stock company plan, which received the emphatic approval of Jesse L. Lasky, first vice president of the company, who declared it to be one of the most important moves ever made for the development of players within the industry. The stock company has as fts pri- mary duty the task of keeping the contract players busy so that their screen possibilities will have the op. portunity to develop, Schulberg stated. The Paramount Stock Co., as now constituted. includes the following 60 players: Richard Arlen, George Ban- croft, Warner Baxter, Noah Beery, Charlot Bird, Sally Blane, El Brendel, Mary Brian, Olive Brook, Leuise Brooks, William Collier, jr., Chester | Conklin, rdo Cortez, Lil Dagover, Josephine Dunn, Susan _Fleming. | Douglas Gilmore, Walter Goss, Iris sray.
