The theme song, “Sometime Soon,” sung by Harriet Rissler and John Silaz, takes first honors from a musical standpoint, while “All I Get Is Bye| Bye” and “Just We Twp” brought repeated encores. Sue Crump, with an effective “blues” voice, scored in the | former, while Geraldine Free and Jerry Sickler went over big in the latter. Sickler, by the way, reveals his talents as a comedian, sharing honors in this respect with Frank Westbrook. John Hoyt does some good work as the grand duke. Give Specialty Numbers.

' NEW YORK, May 7.—The Govern- ment's fight to break up an alleged $75,000,000 outdoor advertising monop- oly ended in Federal court yesterday when the defendant companies accept- ed an order enjoining them from oper- ating in restraint of trade. Entry of a consent decree before Judge Julian W. Mack marked the end of the action, instituted last July ragainst the General Outdoor Advertis- ing Co., Inc.; the National Outdoor Advertising Bureau, Inc., and others. The suit had been on trial for the past four weeks. The suit alleged violation of‘ the Sherman anti-trust law in that the defendants divided territory to control cutdoor advertising in the TUnited States and Canada. Foster & Kleiser Co. had the Pacific Coast and the General Outdoor Advertising . Co. held the remainder of the country, the Government charged. Provisions of Decree. The consent decree provided that the terms of an agreement between the National Outdoor Advertising Bureau and its members, who constitute 225 general agencies, should be modified to prevent the bureau from continuing as the exclusive agency by which outdoor advertising contracts are placed with display plants throughout the country. Among the Government's charges was the allegation that the bureau was assigning all its contracts for handling for distribution to the General Outdoor Advertising Co. The Government consented to a dis- missal of a complaint against the Out- door Advertising Association of America. ‘That association was enjoined in 1916 by the United States District Court in Chicago from carrying on alleged illegal practice. Some of these, said Horace R. Lamb, special assistant to the At- torney General, had not been entirely corrected, but if not voluntarily cleaned up may be fully stopped by the court in which the injunction was issued. Proposals Brought Here. Horace R. Lamb and Breck P. Mc- Allister, special assistants to the Attor- ney General, came to Washington late last week and submitted to the author- ities here suggestions on which a satis- factory settlement of the litigation might be obtained. These suggestions constituted the framework of the de- cree, which was accepted by David L. Podell, counsel for Mr. Kleiser; former Senator George W. Pepper of Pennsyl- vania, George F. Hurd, Merritt E. Lane, Daniel De Wolfe Wever and E. F.

FRIES LAUDS Sons of American Revolution Praised for Keeping Alive U. S. Traditions. Characterizing reverence and pride in foundations of patriotism, which in it- self is built upon the glorious deeds of those who have gone before, Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries lauded the Sons of the American Revolution for their ef- forts in keeping alive the traditions of service to the country in an address | fromy Station WJSV, on Mount Vernon Hills, last night. The specch was one of a serles sponsored by the S. A R. Gen. Fries spoke on “Patriotism and the Sons of the American Revolution,” and urged upon his radio audience the adoption of the “highest form of self- respect” that patriotism stands for. “Guide Posts to Future.” “We may ask,” he said, “why should there be patriotic societies? They stand for what is good in our past history. They keep alive a knowledge of the deeds of those who have made our Nation possible. They bring back the conditions under which our ancestors lived, and with that knowledge we know why they took the stand they did take and what of their work can and should be adapted to the present. “Those dezeds of our great grandfa- thers. the reasons for their actions. the ‘education, wealth and population then in existence, family and racial connec- tions all form guide posts to point out to us the way for greater deeds, a hap- pler people and a more glorious future. We live on the past just as the stately palms and luscious fruits of the South Sea islands live on the dead remains ot billions upon billions of coral insects that lived and died through millions of years in the past. We are great or small in the exact measure as we have profited by the lessons of the past. Honor Paid Organizations. “And so, all honor to the Sons of the American Revolution, and all other sons and daughters of patriots who cause us to pause and review the heroic figures of the Revolution and their glorious ac- complishments, that we may take heed for the future with the wisdom of the ages guiding us, that our children may bless us as, looking backward to and be- yond us, they, too, bless the heroes of the Revolution.” SENATORS AMONG G000 AT CIRCUS Meet Animal Trainer, Who Explains Interesting Points to Party. Clyde Beatty, 24-year-old animal trainer, was the main attraction for the senatorial party which visited the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus last night. After finishing his act with 32 lions and tigers, Beatty was introduced to the members of the party, to whom he ex- plained various parts of interests as the show progressed. However, the young animal trainer was not the only one who caught the eye and held the attention of the 6,000 pple who “filled the big tent. Pretty fl:gle Erma Ward, dangling at the end of a rope at the very top of the tent, where she turned over and over, re- ceived a flattering reception. The youth and freshness of the ?er(ormern added to the effect of their urns. Harrlett Hodgini, who has been a bareback rider since she was 7 years old, scored a hit with the audience when she went over and under her horse while in motion. The youthful rider is @ scion of a family which has been circus riders for generations. Today is the last of the Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus' engagement in Wash- ington. Late tonight the show will entrain for York, Pa. PAIR HELD UNDER BOND. | LEWISTON, Me., May 7 (#).—Dr. Charles K.

BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. mateh to The S NEW YORK, May 7.—Probably no event of recent yeers has caused, in | New York soctety circles, so much buzz- ing and excitement. as the news that | Miss Helen Wills will wear a gown with |& tennis racquet motif at her presenta- | tion at the May court in London. This |agitation was just ‘beginning to die |down, when still another bulletin an- nounced that Miss Wills would carry a fan. fashioned in the form of a racquet. ‘There have been heavy casualties among dowagers here who have first- hand knowledge of the austerities of Queen Mary’s court, and who have failed to observe that even the oldest and sternest conventions may be, and occasionally are, challenged by breezy American youth. It 1s recalled that Suzanne Lenglen became persona non grata at the Eng- lish court, when, after her presentation, she turned professional. Queen Mary is fastidious about little things and for- malists here are wondering whether, like Queen Victoria on the occasion of a famous contretemps, she will “fail to be amused ” Events Drawing Near. ‘The court presentations will be held Thursday and Friday. As these event- ful days draw near, it is revealed that democratic America has a rapt and ro- mantic interest in these story boek do- ings’ of royalty. New York salons are filled with intimate. gossip, in which it is told how lances of money and social prestige have been shattered against the walls of Buckingham Palace in un- availing efforts to obtain presentations for wives and daughters; how other pa- tient, resourceful and munificent cam- paigns have at last won through; stories of “heart break house” and the castle of dreams. Tabloid headlines are streamers and banners of romance for the multitude, with no detail of knight~ hood and chivalry omitted. ‘The New York haut monde keeps it- self rather intimately informed about these doings. It now learns, through continuous London “flitting,” that Lon- don has been a rather sanguinary bat- tleground this year, with new American fortunes going a-roving in search of coronets. Marked-down British royal- ty is said to have profited immensel; with dukes serving as social mentors and presumably or actually charting the devious ways which may or may not lead at last to the throne room. It is said that the money tidal wave in America during the last few years has caused a number of ill-advised and hopeless campaigns in London, and that the English court is drawing the circle a bit narrower and that too much xlr;&ney is becoming almost a bar sin- T, ‘The social sophisticates here express general approval of the American rep- resentation as it will appear at Queen Mary’s court Thursday. Mrs. Ray Atherton, the acting American Ambas- sadress in London, who will make the presentations in the embassy circle, will be quite at home in this setting. Mme. van Swinderen, formerly Miss Glover of Washington, is known as a woman of enviable social grace. She will in- troduce to Queen Mary the debutantes from Holland. Baronne Cartier de Marchienne, wife of the Belgian Am- bassador, who will present the Belgian debutantes, also is American born, as are the German and Bulgarian Ambas- sadresses and the Countess Rogeri di Villanova, who will make the Italian presentations.

Having crossed the Alps, Hannibal is munificent and there is no quibbling should the occa- sion require an extra quart or two of diamonds or sapphires. During the week London is blazing with brilliant functions, and after the presentation ceremonies there will be gorgeous do- ings at such places as Ciro’s, the Cafe de Paris and the Kit Kat Club. Scores of American peeresses will attend from all parts of Europe. Among them will be the Marchioness Curzon of Kedles- ton, Lady Lister-Kaye, formerly a Southern belle of Louisiana; Lady Ronald Lindsay, formerly Miss Eliza- beth Hoyt of New York; the Countess Beatty, the Countess of Ancaster, the Duchess of Rcxburghe, the Countess of Granard, Lady Astor, .Mildred Countess of Gosford, and the Countess of Portsmouth, born in the Kentucky blue grass region.

QUEEN GOES TO PALACE. ‘Will Hold Royal Courts Without King George. LONDON, May 7 (#).—Queen Mary arrived in London today from Bognor to take up residence at Buckingham Palace until Saturday. For the first time in this reign, the Queen will hold the royal courts with- out King George, who has not recov- ered sufficiently to take part in the sea- son’s first courts at Buckingham Palace on Thursday and Friday.

BOYS WINNERS INMUSIC CONTEST Will Represent District at Boston Competition Eariy in june. __Two Washington boys, both violin- ists, have won the honor of represent- ing the District of Cclumbia and the larger district which also includes West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland in the national contest of the Federation of Music Clubs to be held at Boston, Mass., during the biennial session be- ginning earl7 in Jair. The boys are Harry Cherkassy, a vio- linist in the artist clas nd Oscar Le- vine, 16 years of age, of the student violin class. Mr. Cherkassy has spent the last two years studying by himself, but he had i.s fundamental prepara- tion under the {uielage of Henri Soko- lov, Washington violinist, first violin of the National String Quartet. Oscar Levine is a pupil of Carl Jaspin. Both boys won in the initial District federation contest held April 27 and had their success at the District con- test for the three States and the Dis- trict in Baltimore May 4. ‘The winners in other than violin con- tests were fairly evenly divided among the other States for the vocalists and planists. Four Washingtonians served as judges in the different class contests in Baltimore. They were Mrs. Frank Byram, pianist and organist, who is in charge of music at Eastern High School; Myron Whitney, vocal teacher; Richard Lorleberg, violon-cellist and a member of the National String Quar- tet, and Dr. Alexander Hennemann, composer and choral director. Mrs. Gertrude Lyons, vice president of the District Federation of Music Clubs, was the official representative of the local group, who attended in piace of Mrs. Joseph M.
