BRIDGE SUMO.KD | OVER GLOVER PLEA Arkansan’s Appeal to House Against Arlington Span Loses in Vote. Despite a plea from Representative Glover, Democrat, of Arkansas, for elimination of the $282,675 the inde- pendent offices appropriation bill allows for the Arlington Memorial Bridge Com- mission, the House yesterday approved that sum. Glover, pointing out that the total expenditures on the bridge had been $12,041,987, told the House: “Here we are with the people unable to pay taxes and you propose to take nearly a quarter of a million dollars out ; of the Treasury for a bridge. People Don’t Indorse Action. “The people of the United States don't indorse action of this kind by Congress. What would the people think if they knew you were appropriating that $282,000 for a bridge that is al- ready finished? “This is purely for some decorations over there. It looks a little fishy to me.” Chairman Woodrum of the Appropri- ations Committee that handled the bill, replied that “this is no time to talk about whether the bridge should have been built.” “Might Cancel Contracts.” “If the position of the gentleman from Arkansas is logical,” he said, “it would be logical to just cancel and re- pudiate every contract we have for public works and then let the contrac- tors go into the courts and sue us, and in the meanwhile claim that we had reduced expenditures.” ss'laeselover amendment was defeated, UNITE TO GIVE PLAY All Souls’ Unitarian Groups to Pre- sent One Act Each.

MELCHER 16 Southland Editors To View “The Green Pastures.” after next the Nation- al will find itself thick with the South. Seated within arm's length of the stage will be 16 vet- eran newspaper men—all critically ppraising * Green . ;‘hm editors and editors in chief will have come from the southern- most parts of the Southland. New Orleans, Atlanta, Tampa, = see, Charlottesviile are only & few of the cities that will send their rep- resentatives, This is Roland Stebbins’ idea. He will be host to these 16 gentlemen in their northern peregrinations. He is bringing them from their various homes—in the manner in which last season Paramount entertained visit- ing critics in Manhattan. He will have them well chaperoned on their journey, will see that they eat only the best, and when they arrive in Washington they will be housed in the manner to which they have been accustomed. Already it is said that local hotels are angling for the priv- ilege of being able to play host to these gentleman of the press. Mr. Stebbins is not doing this for fun. It is a stern. as well as, he hopes, a pleasant business plan of his. He wants to know what the South thinks of “The Green Pastures.” ‘These 16 editors will sit in stony silence and while they devour this touching and fanciful play, which is in the form of a colored man’s dream, they will have to make up their minds what their communities are likely to think of it Next September Mr. Stebbins would like to take the play South. But—if # is likely to provoke small wars on the various frontiers—if storms of wild Southern yodels are likely to punctuate the smooth flow of the play—if the players are run out of town—he is anxious to know about it ahead of time. In that case Mr. Stebbins will not go South. Instead then of making up his mind on this matter, Mr. Stebbins will let the South make it up for him. Already many of the invited guests have accepted his invitation. ‘The National has roped off 16 plush chairs for their especial benefit. One of the reasons why people had to stand in line on Monday from 9 to 6 o'clock is because the box office was trying to make up its mind where these editors would sit. They will probably not all sit together— as it will be easier for them to form individual opinions if they are placed in odd and extraneous places. After the performance they will be asked what they thought. Mr. Steb- bins will ask them: “Do you think they will like “ ‘The Green Pastures’ in_your home town?” If they do not say -“Yes"—they will be crazy. Two Irish Societies Condemn Dublin Players. TH]S department has received a communication from Mr. Jor- dan, press representative of the Dublin Abbey Players, to the effect that two Irish societies in New York have written to their homeland ex- pressing indignation at the plays which these players are playing. They have condemned these as examples of “drunkenness” and other wrongdoing, and have gone so far as to say that both plays and play- ers should be whictled from the boards. Those who saw these plays here will no doubt be as surprised at this as we are. Maybe these socleties prefer “The Great Magoo.” George Arliss To Play “Voltaire.” JFOLLOWERS of George Arliss will be interested to know that after he has polished off “The Adopted = Father” for the films he will tray the title role in “Voltaire.” . . , James ’s. new film will be “The Mayor of Hell.” . . .

AN]::)UNCMNT“ has been made that following the run of the Kate Smith film, “Hello, Everybody,” which begins a week’s engagement at the Metropolitan this Priday, “The Sign of the Cross” will be shown. This is the fastest post-National film showing which has as yet been at- tempted in the Capital. It should prove to the public that watchful waiting is not a bad policy. Technicolor is used in the new film, “Mystery of & Wax Museum,” which comes to the Earle after the Barbara Stanwyck picture, “Ladies They Talk About.” R-K-O Keith’s has announced that John Boles and Nancy Carroll will, be s<en next week in “Child of Manhattan,” taken from the Preston Sturges play in place of the Helen MacKellar film, “The Past of Mary Holmes.” . Mary Holmes’ past will be revealed the week following. Katharine Corneil Play To Open in Baltimore. IN response to numerous calls and questions on this matter, Katha- rine Cornell play, “Alien Corn,” writ- ten by Sidney Howard, will positively have its first performance the week of February 13 in Baltimore at the Maryland theater. Miss Cornell is said to have three leading men in this. These include James Rennie, Slegfried Rumann end Luther Adler. Other players will be Lily Cahill, Chntrles ‘Waldron and James Vin- cent.

And you can save $2 out of every $3 by using Pepsodent Antiseptic. The money you save results from Pepsodent’s remarkably high germ-killing power. Here's the" difference | It's a simple problem of arithmetic. Pepsodent is three times as powerful as other leading mouth antiseptics—by add- ing water you make it go three times as far—get three times as much for your money and extra protection against sore throat colds and unpleasant breath. The old-fashioned mouth antiseptics must be used full strength to be effective. So Pepsodent Antiseptic was made power- ful enough to be diluted with two parts of water and still kill germs in less than 10 seconds—yet it is completely safe when used full strength. Don'’t risk health It’s costly enough to use a mouth anti- septic that should be used full strength. But it's more costly to dilute that anti- septic and #o# kill the germs.That's why we advise you to choose Pepsodent Antiseptic . . . it kills germs even when it is diluted. - Pepsodent Antiseptic ‘IMPURE BREATH (Halitesis) ‘The amasing results of Pepsodent Antiseptic in fighting sore throat colds prove its effectiveness in checking Bad Breath (Halitosis).
