WANTED Contralto Soloist for Prominent Church Address BOX 456-R Star Office Mr. Will Rogers today parked his right foot on one of Mr. Willard's very best plush-coyered chalirs, rested his right elbow on his right knee and his chin in his right hand, and de- livered himself aé follows: “I may be kind of a lousy Borseman, but I figure HAMBURGER PORK CHOPS GULDENS ‘ Mustau CORCORAN COURTS 23rd and D Apartments _overlooking School _reservation, and walk I'm still man epough to lope down the Avenue in my, old age.” Which Indicated that Mr. Rogers was rather indignant at the publicity given to the fact that a chauffeur was hired yesterday to gallop down Penn- sylvania avenue In his stead and at the lack of publicity given to the rea- son for the substitution. The chauf- feur, Fred Lacey of the Red Star Sight-seeling’ Co., doubled for Mr. Rogers in the role of Congressman Maverick Brander, when that cine- matic personage performed feats of horsemanship in the embryonic mo- tion picture of “A Texas Steer” yes- terday. Tells of Doctor's Edict. In_explaining the reason therefor Mr. Rogers had an opportunity to talk about his operation, a subject for which he has shown no distaste. He removed his right foot from the plush- covered chalr, put his left foot where his right foot haad been, and assumed | the revorse of his former position. “I've just been out of the hospital five weeks,” sald Mr. Rogers. “You know the big thing about an opera- tion is keeping quiet after it's over. Three doctors told me I couldn't work in this picture at all. As for riding a horse in it—-" At this point Mr. Rogers removed his left foot from a plush-covered chair and put his right foot back.

The plush- covered chair was beginning to look rather the worse for wear by this time. “I broke in my 15-year-old kid the other day,” said Mr. Rogers. “At polo, I mean. He can ride pretty well. Wish I had him here. Maybe I could have used him for my double.” Mr. Rogers took his left foot down and with both feet planted firmly on the floor gave vent to a final burst of indignation. *I stood down at the polo grounds the other day and watched 'em play polo,” he said, “and my mouth watered. - And they say I'm scared to lope down the street!” Tip on Coolidge.

With a heroic effort his interviewer managed to keep both feet on the floor. ““We'll probably leave tonight,” said Mr. Rogers. “We'll get out just be- fore Coolidge gets in.” He took off his cap, scratched his head and put his cap on l;nln “I don’t know any easier way to win money- than~ by betting on Coolidge in 1928,” he said. “Congressman” Has Spill. Congressman Maverick Brander himself came to grief this morning. It may have been that Mr. Lacey, who did what Mr. Rogers calls a lope so well yesterday, was uncomfortable in his swallow-tail and pink nightshirt, or it may have been that constant as- sociation with sightseeing busses had | given him a technique which wasa't efficient with horses—anyway, Con- gressman Maverick Brander in the person of Mr. Lacey, took a spill. The Congressman got as far in his mad dash from his hotel to the Cap- itol as the lower end of Pennsylvania avenue when darkness overtook him vesterday, and so he decided to lay overnight and continue the ride this PHILLIPS TERRACE APARTMENTS 1601 Argonne Place Just North of Columbia Rd. at 1Gth St. Overlookinz Beautiful Rock Creek Park We have left & few of these con veniently arranged apartments rang- ing in size as follows One room. kitehen and bath with Murphy hed. £17.50 and $730.

He gritted his teeth and tried a third time. “Double” Loses Job. Snorting _and panting, the horse made for the steps, Mr. Lacey, grim and determined, atop him. At the steps there was a flourish of hoofs and reins, and Mr. Lacey hit the side- walk on the run. The director ap- plauded as the cameras clicked But, alas, Mr. Lacey had overdone it. He was running so fast when he alighted that he couldn’t stop running, and before he knew it he had done an uncongressional tumble right in front of the seat of the Government, much to the delight of the assembled spec tators but much to the disgust of Mr. Lacey and the movie people.
