Continuing their concentrated drive on the source of Washington's liquor supply, & squad of Federal prohibition agents destroyed a huge still near La Plltl Md,, Priday. ogllnt had an estimated capacity of 1,0 i‘nllons & day. It was in op- eration when the raiders arrived. Some six or elght workmen gathered about the still fled through the woods and evaded arrest on being warned by a lookout. The raiders were detected while more than a quarter of a mile from the still. More than 40,000 gallons of mash was destroyed. About 320 gallons of liquor was poured out. The still proper was chopped to pleces with axes, special pre- cautions being taken to damage it to such an extent that it could not be repaired. The same agents seized three stills in the vicinity of California and Valley Lee, St. Marys County, the day before. Each was of 500 gallons capacity. A total of 200 gallons of whisky and 60,000 gallons of mash was confiscated. In a raid near Laurel about a fort- night ago the agents wrecked a 3,000~ gallon capacity outfit. Their recent raids have extended over a wide area and have resulted in destruction of nu- merous pllnu G.0. P.

PHONOGRAPH SELLER HAS NOTED CUSTOMERS London Woman Describes How Shaw Acts OQut Piece When He Buys His Records. LONDON (N.AN.A).~<There is a woman in London who knows all the musical likes and dislikes of celebrated people. She is Mrs. Imhof, slim, shin- gled and smart. A dealer in gramo- phone records, she numbers among her customers _princesses, judges, _artists, athletes, and George Bernard Shaw. “Mr, Shaw is passionately devoted to Beethoven,” she says, “and he is a per- son who feels music so intensely that he must needs act it. The other day I played him Weber's ‘Invitation to the Waltz' ‘Ah’ he sald, ‘I can just pic- ture it!’ and, giving a courtly bow to an imaginary partner, he offered her him arm, led her to the floor, and went thro‘ e:'h the movements of the old-fash- on “Anm.her Shaw I know,” went on Mrs. Imhof, “is noted for his silence. He is Alrcraftman Shaw, better known, perhaps, as Lawrence of Arabia, and he loves string quartets and Mozart con-~ “Princess Marie Louise is probably the most musical of the royal family. She has a wonderful collection of rec- ords, including many selections from opera. She knows every note of ‘The Ring' and when Itg.y the records over for her I can see that she is visualizing what would be happening on the stage at that moment. The Duke of Con- naught always comes to me for new records before he goes to the south of France. He usually chooses tuneful airs from the old-fashioned operas, such as ‘Faust’ and ‘Carmen.’” (Copyright. 1930, by North American News- paber’ Alliance.) AUTUMN THEATRICAL SEASON TO BE MUSICAL 75 Per Cent of London Productions to Feature Ambitious Attempts With Elaborate Staging. LONDON (N.AN.A).—The Autumn season in the a distinctly musical one. r cent of the productions which will seen between September and Christ- mas are musical xil-yu or revues, and as such a production costs from $50.- 000 to $125,000 to stage, it is esti- mated that approximately $1,260,000 will be expended. Among the first of these pieces to come to London are “Follow a Star” in which Sophie Tucker and the Hul- bert brothers, Jack and Claude, are playing; Charlot's “Masquerade,” which brings Beatrice Lillie back to the west end, and “Ever Green," Mr. Ccchran’s new musical piece. This latter, whose book is by Benn Levy, is to be on a very ambitious scale, with many elaborate scenes. Its stars are Jessie Matthews and Sonnie Hale. Another musical production that should be unusually interesting is the dramatic version, prepared by its au- thor, of J. B. Priestley’s long novel, “The Good Companions.” Mr. Priest- ley, who began life as a Yorkshire schoolmaster, is a very hard worker and has written in his 36 years aimost as much as most writers do in a life- time. He now lives in old-fashioned Well Walk, Hampstead, which must be haunted by the shades of Charles Lamb and John Keats. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.)
