She lends herseif so attractively to a wardrobe that is rich and regal..and is so pleasing to the eye with a crown on her head as well as in a red wig, that if she isn't an A-1 imitation of Eugenie she is at any rate & handsome compliment to the lady herself and to the Bonaparte family in ?enenl. Miss* Skinner plays Eugenie with great dignity and charm. sShe has written this “solo drama” with lit- erary skill and with sure knowledge of the original. But for a smail bit at the very beginning, which strays briefly from the true errow of his- tory, she clings becomingly to the straight and the narrow and never deviates from what the story books have told u; happened to this cou- rageous and tragic Empress. Eugenie riding in the Bols in Paris, before her marriage to the Emperor; Eugenie in the gardens of Compeigne, watching with bitterness and pride the beginning of those escapades which, the Emperor in- duiged in; Eugenle plotting for the rule of her young son—and Eugenie losing that son as well as her crown and her palaces and her Emperor and her country—and finally in the late 1919's an old, feeble lady, talk- ing to a young American girl whom she feeds tea instead of cocktails— this is a sketchy sketch of a se- quence which the public that is loyal to the theater and loyal to an art ‘which is an art, will not want to Cornelia 0. Skinner. Miss Skinner is an actress, a poet and a philosopher all at once. She creates and she recreates and she presents her all to audiences which each season become fonder of her. ‘There is no question that/she has cornered a corner in the theater which is sure and which is certain. She may not be a great actress, but she is better than a good one. E. de S. MELCHER. NATHAN NOVICK BURIED IN COLUMBIA CEMETERY Bacteriologist at Mt. Alto Hospital Died at Home Yesterday From Heart Attack. Nathan Novick, 45, bactariologist at Mount Alto Hospital, who died early yesterday at his home, 3208 Wisconsin avenue, following a heart attack, was buried yesterday afternoon in District of Columbia Lodge Cemetery. Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. at the fu- neral home of Bernard Danzansky, 3501 Fourteenth street. Novick, a native of New York City, was a graduate of the College of the City of New York with the degree of bachelor of science. He had been asso- clated with the Veterans' Administra- tion for years and with Mount Alto Hospital for the past three years, com- ing here from Edward Hines Hospital, in_Chicago. | He is survived by his widow, Dr. Ray N. Novick, and a caughter, Eleanor, 11. . { FIREMEN RESCUE HORSE A horse rigden by Miss Greta Wl’l-‘ liams, 614 C street northeast, plunged Helen Hayes Scores In “The Son-Daughter.” HEN “The Son-Daughter” is shown here Washing- tonjans will have & chance of seeing their favorite, actress (she should be that), Helen Hayes, in a role which is totally different from anything she has done before. Starting out as a_gentle, meek and mild “blos- som” of China, she becomes eventually a real roaring and raging tragedienne— and does rather startling thing of stran- gling her hus- band with his pigtail. When last night a small army of post - midnight watchers came to this point in the picture (which the Loew Fox people spon- sored) it was evident that there was considerable surprise among them— Miss Hayes having never exhibited so much first-class fire before. ‘While the picture itself is not espe- clally noteworthy for its plot, it is well worth seeing on account of Miss Hayes ard on account of Ramon Novarro—minus hair—who supplies the other half of the love interest with sincerity and restraint. The scenes which these two play to- gether are different and diverting. Well cast opposite each other it seems too bad that the rest of the film doesn’t come up to their level. Washington will see “The Son- Daughter” after it has seen “A Farewell to Arms.” The latter, of course, is worth its weight in gold. ‘The most important theatric news of the day is that Katharine Cor- nell, referred to usually as the first lady of the theater, will close her production of “Lucrece” within a fortnight. This is Miss Cornell's one artistic failure up to date. One of next week's actors is here already. He is marking time back- stage at the Fox. This is Nikolo the elephant. Nikolo is rehearsing daily and preparing to knock his cus- tomers cold. Announcement has been made that “Face the Music” will come to the National following the Coward- Lunt-Fontanne opus, “Design for Living.” Paul Muni, in *“Counsellor-at- Law,” is also definitely booked for an early showing after that. Thirteen thousand seven hundred pecple went to Loew's Fox last Sat- urday, and R-K-O Keith's has broken all-time records ,in “The Anima]l Kingdom.” | This is the day when radio celeb- rities are receiving their awards for being the cream of the crop. Present in town at this moment are Rudy Vallee, Morton Downey, Paul White- man and a fleet of others. E.de S. M. Ramon Novarro. “Georgia Peaches” Is a Lively Show. EORGIA SOTHERN and her “Georgia Peaches” start the New Year off with a lively show at the Gayety this week. Miss Sothern, a dynamic soubrette, all but steals the show from the dancing artist, Carmen, and pretty Betty DuVal. Geérgia gives the au- dience all that they desire in the way of song and dance, especially the latter. In her opening number, in fact, she all but stopped the show with her cyclenic dances. Carmen again exhibits gome rare dancing, and this, plus her good singing, brings her out for more than one encore. Her Spanish numbers | are very popular with the boys down front. Miss DuVal scores with a pleasing voice, and adds to an exceptionally good trio. These three young wom- en are the pick of burlesque and are worth seeing more than once. * Joy St. Clair and Kay Cassidy bring out all there is in’' feminine appeal and make their presence known in a big way. Ruth Bradley, the prima dinna, continues to capti- vate the audience with her vocal orations and also adds to the show by her appearance in almost every scene. The three comedy aces, Raynor, Davis and Hickman, are again pres- ent with their funny gags, ridiculous costumes and sometimes hilarious mirth, Raynor seems to carry the brunt of the comedy, although Davis and Hickman all but take away some of the scenes. The comics are ably assisted by Ray Parsons and George Kinnear, the former also contribut- ing some very nice -singing, and George doing the straight work. The chorus is rather listless and detracts somewhat from an otherwise entertaining evening. R.B.

The collar either will be rolled, flat, round or one of those little inch-wide standing affairs_which tie in front. The sleeves will finish with cuffs some- what like the cuffs of a tailored shirt. And the belt buckle will repeat the motif of whatever stones are used for cuff links. The first of these backless tailored evening gowns was made for Carole Lombard and has cuff links of star sapphire and a belt buckle set with the same geths.

Luhring issued an injunction forbidding the'con- tinuance of the exhibition. ‘The court’s order, however, will not become effective until the All States Hotel, plaintiffs in the case, have posted an indemnity bond of $15,000 cash or $20,000 surety. The injunction was sought in District.| Supreme Court on the contention the | dance constituted a private nuisance. Compromise Made. Elwood Seal, counsel for the Mara- thon Exhibition Co., Inc., promoters of the dance, asked for an indemnifica- tion of $30,000. Attorney Lucien Vai doren, appearing for the plaintiffs, of- fered to post a bond of $10,000 cash. He sald the hotel was co-operatively owned by Government employes and that it would be extremely difficult for them to post a larger security. The compromise figure was agreed upon at a consultation in Justice Luhring’s chambers. The purpose of the bond is to pro- tect the promoters of the dance against | loss if the Court of Appeals should hold | the injunction improperly put an end| to their business. Profits Declared $50,000. It was testified by an official of the corporation that the profits from the dance average about $878 a day, and that this figure probably would increase as the contest neared its closing date of January 25. The dance started November 24. The total met - profit from the dance last year, it was testi- fled, was about $50,000. SLAYING PROBE STRESSED Quick Grand Jury Action Promised Against Victim’s Son.

Connett, noted engineer, who built in Washington the first underground conduit street railway in successful operation in the United States, died Sunday at his home on Fifth avenue, New York, according to Associated Press dispatches. He was 73 years old. In addition to his pioneering work in street rallway construction here Mr, Connett gained fame through his work as an associate of President Hoover in relief work in France and Belgium dur- ing the early days of the World War. He was as well known in Europe as in the United States, having engaged in construction of surface railway sys- tems in various parts of France. He lived in London for many years. Named to Study System. Construction of the underground con- ton followed the successful use of that system in Budapest, Hungary. As a result of a campaign conducted by The Star for the elimination of the overhead trolley wires by the adoption of the underground system for Washington, Mr, Connett was appointed as engineer to make a thorough study of the under- ground conduit system in use in Buda- pest. He took charge of construction of the first American underground conduit system on the old Metropolitan line from Four-and-a-half and B streets to Ninth street and Florida avenue. ‘This work was completed in 1895. In the following year the underground conduit system was extended to the F street line, from Lincoln Park to Georgetown and out Connecticut avenue to Florida avenue. “Mr. Connett must be given credit for the modern underground conduit system as now used in America,” said John H. Hanna, president of the Cap- ital Traction Co., when informed of Mr. Connett's death. “The system which he installed in Washington in 1895, with only minor changes in detail, is that which is in use in the United States today.” Bult Lines in France. Born in Bethel, Conn., ago, Mr. Connett was graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a civil engineer in 1880.

MOSKOWITZ DIES AFTER FALL Chief Strategist of Former Gov. Smith Heart At- tack Victim. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 3.—Alfred E. Smith was grieved today by the death of Mrs. Belle Lindner Moskowitz, his adviser and chief strategist during his ascendancy in the Democratic party. “I regard the passing of Mrs. Mos- " he said. When | e heard the news of her death he im- mediately hurried to New York from Albany, where he had attended Gov. Lehman’s inauguration. Mrs. Moskowitz, who was one of the most powerful women in politics and statecraft, died yesterday of a heart attack that followed a fall in which her right arm and left wrist were broken. She was 55 years old. / Funeral Tomorrow. and socjal life is expected to attend the funeral services, which are to be held at 11 am. tomorrow at the Temple Emanu-el. It was while Mrs. Moskowitz was on her way to a conference with Smith December 15 that she suffered the in- juries that led to her death, She tripped and fell down the steps in front of her home. With her at her death were her hus- band, Dr. Henry Moskowitz, former civil service commissioner and co-author City Streets,” and a son by a former marriage, Josef Israels. Another son and a daughter survive. Daughter of a Harlem watchmaker, Mrs. Moskowitz had become well known as a social worker and educator before she first met Smith, in 1918. During his first campaign for Governor in that year she invited him to speak before the Women’s University Club. Invited to Address Women. He accepted reluctantly, expressing displeasure at speaking before a “high- brow women’s club.” The quiet- voiced, little woman talked to him, ad- vising him to speak and to “handle it without- gloves,” a phrase she often repeated later. Most campaigners, she said, spoke only perfunctorily before women’s or- ganizations, thereby conveying the mis- taken impression they had no high opinion of women’s understanding. Smith followed her advice, and the speech was said to have been one of his best. As secretary of Smith's Reconstruc- tion Commission she developed an in- housing, health, food and markets. Throughout his five State camp: , she was Smith’s counselor and political whw, attending to minute details of " Consult on Policles. 1t was known that he often consulted her on policies, and that she frequently assisted him in preparing speeches and public papers. Once, when she was asked for her opinion about women in politics, she said: “Women are not the intellectual equals of men. Their intuitive sense is the biggest thing they bring to politics. Combined with the thinking ability of | men, this makes a splendid team.” Long before the 1928 campaign, Mrs. Moskowitz, intent on seeing Smith in the White House, kept a steady stream of political literature issuing from her tiny office. During the campaign she was director of publicity of the Demo- cratic National Committee. After de- feat came, she became president of Publicity Associates.
