A4 THIS SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., JUNE 1950—PAR " ONE. HOOVER IS INVITED 10 ‘DUDE RANCHES! Montanan Wants President, to Go Fishing and Not Make Speeches. A tall, bronzed Westerner from Mon- fana, wearing & broad-brimmed hat and handing out solid copper cards with his name, “T. Joe Cahill” and s silhouette of himsel! on horseback up in the big hills, is in the Capital to welcome President Hoover out to that country for fishing in the “dude” ranch trout streams and lakes. Cahill is hoping that the controversy over possible political speeches will not revent the President’s trip, or hinder | is enjoyment of the great out-of-doors. | “I am not here to ask the President | to make & speech,” said Cahill, “but I want him to get in some first-class fishing. I understand he likes fishing. Well, we've got what he wants.” The copper calling card, which is thin and flimsy, the most unususl one of its kind yet to turn up in the Capi- tal, discloses that “T. Joe” does not yepresent any one place which is look- ing for publicity by asking the Presi- dent to throw its own name into the front page headlines of the country. 100 Ranches in Association. “Executive secretary Dude Ranchers' Association,” read the black letters on the copper card. The strapping Mon- tanan explained that at this time there will be no official invitation to any one lace because the President's itinerary as not yet been made public in detai There are more than 100 “dude” yanches in the organization of which “T. Joe” is the secretary, and it ought to be reasonably certain that one of these would fall into the general vicini- ty of the President’s Western tour down the Rocky Mountain parks—so he reasons.

They are “nestled in_the moun- tainous regions of these two Far Western States,” he said, “situated on the last frontier. They are in the mouths of canyons, among foothills, or in clear- ings of the forest, and comprise little oups of cabins, corrals and bunk ouses. “They are not pretentious places, but rustic and unique. They are establishéd | as permanent lodges, meeting the de- mand of the tourists who seek some- thing new and some new place in which to test and play. They serve to per- petuate the spirit, the glamor and the romance of the Old West. “Siffce 1904, when Howard, Willis and Aldon Eaton established the famous Eaton Brothers ‘Dude’ Ranch at Wolf, Wyo., the ranches have sprung into popularity, and annually attract thou- CAPT.

Differences Pointed Out. | After seeing Sharples’ portrait of Washington, Washington Irving, the famous American author and critic, i | 1854 wrote in part of it: “There is much more of life and animation than in that | of Stuart, but the latter (the Stuart portrait) has more calm dignity. The mouth is different from that by Stuart | and approaches more the natural shape | of that taken of him when he was 40 | years of age by Peale. A set of arti- ficial teeth, which I believe he did not | wear until after the Revolutionary War, | altered the shape of his mouth, 1"'1 it | down at the corners and lengthened the upper lip. | “The Sharples portrait gives a better idea of the innate energy of his char- o'clock. |4 Living eosts in Finland are con¥inuing their long period of decline, RAIT IS The Washington Bicentennial Commission has undertaken to determine which of the portraits by the 38 m who painted George Washington most resembles the first President.

THE REAL WASHINGTO! From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Texan” a Good O. Henry Story. HE TEXAN" is not what [0 you think it is. Instead of the expected cut-and-dried saddle - and - bullet yarn, this film, based on_one of O. Henry's better stories, “A Double- Dyed Decelver,” jumps from the wide open West to South Amer- ica, where Gary Cooper plays the part of the son t0 & mother who isn't his mother —and gets away with it--almost. In other words, this current film af. Loew's Palace has some new tricks, as well as some old ones, but it makes, on the whole, good en- tertainment, and better than most of its O. Henry screen cotemporaries, Gary Cooper is again up to his old habits, which means that he never loses his scowl, never does much more than screw up his mouth, and yet is consistently like- able. As the bold and bad “Llano Kid." for whom there is a $500 re- ward, dead or alive, in Texas, he goes to South America, pretending to be the son . of a splendid and sentimental woman. There through her influence the wickeduess peels Off him and instead of robbing her, as he and his crooked “manager” had planned, he remains to “honor and to obey” and to keep cn in a role that he had done so well at. Mr. Cooper's gauntness has never been more apparent. It seems al- most time for a director to come along and let him smile. Still, the female heart is said to flutter as it is. His melancholic disposition will probably cling to him through life. Emma Dunne plays the mother role most sympathetical and Fay Wray distorts her eyes, Ws her teeth, and is not as a5 she ought to be. Some of £ scenes are quite lovely, and— is no theme song—for which " Allah be praised! An Oriental revue called “Japan- ites” is on the stage, with Ted Claire pleasingly doing the M. C. job and Nell Kelly, who not long ago was playing in “The Street Singer,” helping immeasurably. Oth- ers who appeared briefly are the Japanese Kikutas, who fall around on their pecks and most everything else; the Three Rhythm Dancers and flery grop of young ladies who (in case you have forgotten) g0 by the name of the Chester Hale Girls.

His importance in public affairs also caused him to be continually besought for sit- tings. To Robert Edge in 1785, who re- quested permission to paint his portrait, he wrote in part: “It is a proof, among many others of what habit and custom may effect. At first I was as impatient of the request and as restive under the operation as colt 18 of the saddle. The next time I submitted reluctantly, but with less flouncing.

A “He Knew Women” Is Lowell Sherman’s Picture. ANOTHER play goes talkie” and loses interest on the way. “He Knew Women,” which once upon a time went by the name of “The Second Man.” and was prepared for theattical _digestion by the gifted Mr. §. N. Berhman, has been wafted onto the screen. It may be seen this week at R-K-O Keith's. Perhaps it's because the superb memory of “Journey's End” is linger~ ing in this entertainment house that “He Kuew Women" seemed stilted, crude and unreal. A complete anti- thesis to Mr. Sherrifi’s war drama, it rcpresents the so-called “soglety” animal as a sometimes brilliant, but more noticeably two-footed moron. Here at the beginning one finds a middle-aged, admittedly third-rate writer planning to marry a woman merely for her money. Into his life at the same time comes a young girl, who has an unconcealed pas- sion for him, but being an inde- terminate thing she cries, “I dispise you!” quite as much as, “I love you!” To complete the four-sided triangle is a nice young man, “a scientific mole,” who is not exciting enough to be able to win the girl until after he has taken a shot at his lterary rival 1t is due to Lowell Sherman alone that this film rises to amusing heights. His performance is splen- did throughout. He, in fact, makes of hims:lf a remarkably lifelike being. He polishes his role and plays it for all it is worth, putting the other actors to shame. Although Alice Joyce looks remarkably well in an evening dress, her voice is dreadfully against her. The other two members of the cast. David Manners, who 5o distinguishes him- self in “Journey's End,” and Francis Dade, seem in this picture more like tyros at the trade. The outcome of it all is that Lowell marries his money, the young girl changes her mind for the nth time and everything turns out quite as one had expected it should. Short subjects and the R-K-Olians playing with their accustomed verve complete the program. E de S. M. D. . R OFFICERS ARE INSTALLED Miss Helen Harman, State| Regent, Heads Group at Ceremonies.

DUBLIN, June 7.—All of the main Dail parties’ government, Republican and opposition, will contest at the polls on June 13 a seat in the constituency of Longford-Westmeath, caused by death of a De Valera representative. The issue is De Valera’s contention that the “ultimate financial settiement” made by President Cosgrave with the British government in 1925 should nqt be_paid. By the treaty of 1921 the Irish Free State undertook responsibility for its share of the British war debt and pe sions. The British government later agreed to wipe out this liability and substi- tuted terms by which Great Britain would be paid annually about $25.- 000,000 for 70 years.
