* NEW FOX THEATER OPENSINSPLENDOR President and Mrs. Coolidge and Brilliant Gathering At- tend Colorful Premiere. Sparkling in ornate grandeur the new Fox Theater made its formal debut last night to the most distin- guished audience perhaps that ever rubbed elbows in a moving plcture playhouse, while outside stood an en- vious crowd, alternately glimpsing at the notables who passed through the light-flooded marquis and trying vain- Iy to peer into the gorgeously deco- rated and flower-bedecked lobby. The President and Mrs. Coolidge, cabinet members, diplomats, and ap- parently every member of Congress in Washington, besides richly gowned and bejeweled society -women and prominent theatrical producers made up the major portion of this notable audience. Then, too, there were members of the National Press Club, under whose auspices the opening was marked, and scores of their in. vited gues President Is Greeted. The dedicatory program—precisely the same that will be given through- out the week—began with the arrival of the President and Mrs. Coolidge at 8:40 o'clock. In the meantime, as the crowa gathered, Jacques Wallace en- tertained at the console of the grand organ. ‘When the President and his party entered a flag-draped box, Wallace struck up vigorously “Hail to the Chief”; the audience applauded and the new Fox Theater was ready for its christening. Behind the stage stood a little rotund man, known familiarly throughout the country as “Roxy,” worn from the nervous strain he had undergone in preparing for the great event, and somewhat unnerved lest some of his well laid plans would go awry. Soft Lights Dim. The soft lights began to dim slowly &nd then went out completely. The organ sank gracefully into its pit and from this same Jow recess rose on its elevator stand the G50-piece concert orchestra. The curtains parted and there stood high above the audience on the darkened stage Harrison Brockbank, with spotlights displaying only his face. It was his duty to open the de luxe performance with an invocation and he did so with telling <rematic effect. The concert orchestra then started Victor Herbert’s “American Fantasy.” ©Out of the background and drops of the stage emerged the shadows of old Fort Henry with the bay in the fore- ground and the inspiration that created “The Star Spangled Banner.” The mixed chorus, headed by the pop- ular Douglas Stansbury, provided the musical setting for this artistic spec- tacle and at jis conclusion the orches- tra sank back out of view. Selections From Kipling. A short news reel which provoked an outburst of laughter when it flashed pictures of the return of the President and Mrs. Coolidge to the White House followed, and then “Doug"” Stansbury and a male chorus of a score or more stepped out to sing some of Kipling's “Barrack Room Ballads.” And next came the ballet corps of a dozen or more beautiful girls, each the person- ification of grace and poise. On the tips of their toes these dancers glided to the strains of the enchanting music, and as a fitting climax to their con- tribution the vivacious Maria Gam- barelli (Gamby), the premier danseuse of “Roxy’s Gang,” tripped down from an oldfashioned gold tinted music box, ‘which she interpreted in her graceful, characteristic way. After another effort by the ballet corps four nimble-footed interpret- ere, depicted a scene “On the Bowery,” and a quartet of male voices quickly stepped to the side of the stage after this masterpiece in silhouette and sang with zest. Hymn’s Beautiful Rendition. One. of the outstanding features, which came next, was a beautiful rendition of “Eli, EIi,” the inspira- tional Hebraic hymn, sung by Gladys Rice and a chorus. Upon the completion of this number, the lights in the theater turned to'a soft glow, and “Roxy,” who had re- mained out of view throughout the evening, stepped from behind the gor- geous drop. “Hello, everybody,” his familiar greeting, did not reach the back part of the big playhouse clearly. His voice was thin, probably due to his shouting at the eleventh-hour re- hearsals. And to express his apprecia- tion, which he said he could not at- tempt to do verbally, he jumped onto the orchestra platform, which came up to meet him, s‘umbled over several cellos fo the conductor's stand and directed for “Gamby” while she and her accompanying ballet pirouetted through an artistic interpretation of the “Glow Worm,” while hundreds of firefiies flashed brilliantly in the som- ber light. This exquisite piece served as a finale to the stage presentation and provoked intense applause. *“Roxy” acknowledged it with a slight bow and disappeared under the stage. ‘The initial cinema production was ‘William Fox’s creation of Harry Carr’s story of “Paid to Love,” starring George O'Brien and Virginia Valii.

AMUSEMENTS FOX—Ballet, Music and Photoplay. ‘Washington radio fans have long enthused over the musical programs that the ingenious “Roxy" has sent over the ether waves from New York. On several occasions for benefit pro- grams the popular Roxy Gang has given locally informal concert pro- grams. Last night, however, the dis- tinguished audience had its first glimpse of what Roxy’s wizardly abil- ity can do in artistic and original mu- sical presentations. As a result there was a rising tide of enthusiasm, which spilled over ever so often in ripples of applause and waves of laughter. Both serious, “classical” music and the lighter, gayer type of musical en- terfainment were represented. They were so cleverly interwoven in this program, which was run with such surprising smoothness and speed for a first performance in .a new theater that each feature seemed logically and admirably placed and won its due of appreciation. The program was opened with or- gan selections by Jacques Wallace, who played a couple of numbers. Then, as the audience was slow in as- sembling, the organist improvised ad- mirably on light, familiar themes until ;’h:wmdmt'tnd Mrs. Coolidge ar- There probably has never been a more effective staging and interpre- tation of the event hitsorically fa- thering “The Star .Spangled Banner” than the one Roxy arranged for last night, when a fine chorus, suitably costumed, sang the national anthem, while the audience stood, and many in it joined in the singing.. This same Roxy Chorus again came to the fore later in "the evening when Gladys Rice, the popular soprano of “the Gang,” led in the singing of the im- pressive Hebrew chant, “Eli, EL." The orchestra of 50 pieces, with many of Washington's finest instru- mentalists in its organization, made its debut in Victor Herbert's “Ameri- can Fantasy,” under the leadership of Adolphe Kornspan. The way in which all the members kept together in the changing and rather tricky tempos of this work promises well for future development. At the end of the musical program, the orchestra (which, incidentally, is stationed on one of those rising platforms such as Roxy has in his Cathedral in New York) was led by Roxy himself in the familiar selection, “The Glow- worm,” which was beautifully inter- preted also by “Gamby,” the char ing premiere ballerina of “the Gang.” and a corps of girls and also by the chorus garbed in costumes of the Di- rectoire period. Roxy’s conducting was an appreciated feature. The men's chorus appeared to fine effect supporting the popular bari- tone, Douglas Stanbury, in a couple of Kipling's ballads set to music, one the well known “On the Road to Mandalay” and the other “Fuzzy- Wuzz; The Roxy Male Quartet also presented a couple of numbers. ‘The ballet really dominated the pro- gram. The terpsichorean art came es- pecially into its own in Gamby's Dres- len toe-dance, “The Music Box,” which showed the petite ballerina at her su- perlative best. A huge bouquet of long- stemmed yellow roses, almost as tall as Gamby herself, sent her as appre- ciation from The Evening Star Club, accompanied the prolonged applause after her number. Another bouquet of roses, red this time, was presented to Miss Rice after her selection. The *“Wedgewood” classical ballet number was beautifully posed and quite good, but the girls were even better in the traditional ballet selec- tion, “Dainty Misses.” The hit of the evening was the silhouette, “On the Bowery.” Roxy himself had said that the New York audiences were Vvery lkkeen over the silhouettes and o he would bring one of these features to the Washington opening program. The reaction of the local audience was such might well be made an institution in programs here as well as in New York. It was the artistic pinnacle of the evening. With the theater and stage program as the really big features, the photo- play did not attract a great deal of at- tention, although it may be classed among the best of the “lighter” pro- ductions from the Hollywood studios. “Paid to Love” is a Graustark-ish story, with a tiny kingdom somewhere in Europe, a crown prince who would cause a flapper to run her roadster into @ tree, and a depleted treasury. Hoping to obtain one of the well- known American loans, the king calls an American banker. The loan is agreed upon, it an effort is made to interest the young crown prince In marriage and thereby popularize the kingdom.

President Coolidge, who attended the opening performance of the Fox Theater in the new Pr Club Build- ing, was deeply impressed with the beauty of the new building.

Then, following the rules laid down in fiction of this sort, the girl falls in love with the crown prince, not knowing that he “has prospects.” Another prince, a nephew of the king, causes more or less trouble, and the climax takes place in Paris, after Gaby has been given a title so that she can marry the man she loves, the crown prince. There is a set rule by which such pictur, should be viewed by an audicn®e. The imagination should be allowed free play: one must forget this world and its troubles, and travel along with the characters of the story. And then, after the whole thing is over, never think of the romantic story again, or its impossi- bilities will come creeping to the fore. . Virginia Valli is an adorable Gaby, and George O'Brien makes a stalwart Crown Prince Michael. Peter L. Roberts, the American banker, is portrayed by J. Farrell Macdonald and Thomas Jefferson is King Haakon. Willlam Powell plays the cunning Prince Eric, who is respon- =ible for all the difficulties of the young lovers.

September 20—A discovery which he believes may lead to a solution of the prob- lem of undernourishment of children and greatly reduce infant mortality, by feeding vitamin B direct to the infant has been announced here by Dr. Barnett Sure, professor of agri- cultural chemistry at the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. After seven years of experimental work with white rats, Dr. Sure has announced remarkable results from administering the greater portion of vitamin B allowance to the young in- stead of to the mother at a certain critical stage In lactation when the voung are failing. Dr. Sure points out that while pediatricians already recognize the needs for cod liver oil and orange and tomato juices for infants, to furnish vitamins A, D and C, no provision yet has been made _or vitamin B therapy. By his method Dr. Sure claims he is able to induce lactating experi- mental white rats to rear their young to weaning age on strictly synthetic diets composed of purified food sub- stances. In attempts to save 30 litters Feeding Vitamin B Direct to Infant Promises Reduction of Mortality of young at the point of failure only one litter has been lost. The specially prepared product is fed to the roung in liquid form by means of a medicine dropper. It is a concentrated product from yeast, pre- pared under Dr. Sure's direction by a commereial laborator: It is quite possible, Dr. Sure de- clares, that a large proportion of the infant mortality associated with gas- tro-intestinal disturbances during the first year of life is due to vitamin B deficiencies, “Such vitamin deficiencies may be brought about by the character of the American diet, which is composed largely of degerminated cereals, sugar and meat, in addition by the physio logical inability of the nursing mother to secrete her daily vitamin B intake quantitatively and rapidly into the milk which is indispensable for fre- quent nutrition and welfare,” Dr. Sure said. Dr. Sure found that while rearing of the young at a certain stage in lac tation became a complete failure when the mother received 500 milligrams of vitamin, it developed into a complete when the young received 450 ms and the mother only 50 milligrams.

USURY_CASES MAY DIE IN JULIAN LITIGATION Keyes Announces Recommendation to Be Made for Accused Re- turning Illegal Profits. By the Associated Press.

The prosecutor made known th stand in a letter to Louis Horch secretary of the Julian stockholders’ committee, which asked that the cases against those who had returned thelr profits “quickly” be dropped “for the betterment of the corporation.” The district attorney’s office indi- cated probable dismissal of scores of usury suits and the probable receipt by the receivers of more large sums from alleged usurers, who doubtless would return the money to escape trial >n the charge.

SHANGHAT, September 20.—Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek, former Nationalist commander-in-chief, is quoted as de- claring, in an interview at Fenghwa on September 10, that the woman who arrived at San Francisco aboard the liner President Jackson from China early this month is not his wife. He branded the report as “the work of political enemlies” seeking to em- barrass him in any way possihle, adding that he does not know the “Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek” mentioned in dispatches. Chiang is quoted as stating that he divorced his legal wife in 1921, later taking two concubines, whom he “freed” this year, believing con- tinuance of the practice of con- cubinage undesirable. He asserted that at present he is entirely without a wife, but he made no mention of the report published in the United States that he intended to wed Miss Meling Soong, Weliesley College graduate and sister of Mme. Sun Yat-Sen, widow of the founder of the Nationalist movement. FOR ADDITIONAL WINGS ASKED BY HOSPITAL Tuberculosis Institution Needs More Room, Dr. Pea- body Says in Report. Construction of an east and west wing to the main building of the Tu- berculosis Hospital to provide needed relief from congestion is urged by Dr. Joseph Winthrop Peabody, superin- tendent, in his annual report for the last fiscal year ending June 30, made public today by George S. Wilson, director of the Board of Public Wel- fare. A statistical table which accom- panied the report showed that more patients were cared for during the 12-month period than at any other time since 1916. The total number of cases cared for was 513. Gain Ts Accounted for. “It is believed that the real cause for this,” he report said, “lies in the fact that local physicians and the vari- ous socila agencies are advising pa- tients to seek treatment near at hand, | rather than in their homes or the m 1 distant health centers. During the Win ter months the wards were greatly | congested, so much so, that the time | has now come when additional space | must be provided in order to adequate Iy care for all those seeking admission. “The construction of an east and west wing to the main building would relleve the congestion among the pa- tients, experienced in the past two vears, and the basement of these structures would provide quarters for those employes whose constant pres- ence on the premises i so necessary for the welfare of the hospital. Provision for Doctors. “By an addition to the south end of the nurses’ home, suitable quarters would be provided for the resident physicians. This addition would be separate and distinct from the present building and would conform in out- line with plans submitted some years ago, which were subsequently aban- doned for lack of sufficient appropria- tion when the nurses’ home was built in 1924, “By providing suitable quarters for the doctors outside of the main build- ing, the space now used by them could be utilized for many very esen- tlal purposes—such as storage, the hospital having no space for supplies at this time.” Among trades listed in the London post office directory are those of coal- ; dust grinders, brewery amalgamators, milk-guard manufacturers and dandy- roll makers.
