THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1920
GRIDIRQrJ GLU
POKES FUN AT
THE CANDIDATES
No Public Figure Spared by
Washington Correspon
dents at Their Annual
Dinner
AVASHIXGTOX, Apiil 10. Having
arrived at the presidential age of 33
years, The Gridiron club celebrated (he
pvent tonight by turning its dinner into
-x national non-partisan political con
vention, at w hich 1920 candidates heard
their claims presented in a fashion new
to party politics.
:: Many were nominated and more were
discussed in such a way as to suggest
to all the candidates who were present
the notion that perhaps they take
themselves too seriously.
The Gridiron convention was called
to order by the clanging of a dinner
bell, and when the delegates, who also
included guests, filed into the hall and
took their seats at the dinner tables
they discovered that both great polit
ical parties were heavily .represented
by some of their most distinguished
members. Among those present were
Secretaries Colby, Meredith, Houston,
l'ayne and ' Daniels, Attorney General
Palmer, Speaker Gillett, General Persh
ing, the Japanese ambassador, the Pol
ish minister, former Secretaries Lansing-
and Lane; Homer S. Cummings,
chairman of the democratic national
committee; Will II. Hays, chairman of
the Republican national committee;
Senators "Watson of Indiana, Owen of
Oklahoma, . Harding of Ohio, and
Poindexter of Washington; Governors
Sproul of Pennsylvania, and Morrow of
Kentucky, and Colonel George Harvey.
The convention was opened by the
Selection of a temporary chairman, fol
iowing which it proceeded to elect a
permanent chairman, who proved to
he W. W. Jermane, the new president
-f the club. The proceedings were
mixed and fast and, while touching
upon many phases of the -1920 cam
paign, really settled none of them.
A press section was filled with work
ing newspaper correspondents, and a
iarge number of editors and publishers
tried to crowd in. Dr. Albert Shaw
could not get a seat among the cor
respondents, who also rejected appli
cations from William H. Taft and
William J. Bryan. A pair of "sob sis
ters" who arplied for seats met the
same fate.
What's Hoover's Politics?
The working correspondents, how
ver, were not without' their troubles.
"I was told to describe Herbert
Hoover," said one. "To what party
ioes he belong?" "
T don't know," was the answer. "I
haven't asked him since yesterday."
- Platform plans on prohibition, labor,
the tariff and the war made their ap
pearance. ''My paper wants to know," one cor
respondent asked, "whether McAdoo is
for or against government ownership
of the railroads?"
"Answer 'Yes," he was advised.
A session given over to the ministra
tions of three mediums, who summoned
spirits and made them talk by means
of a ouija board, operated mysteriously
without the use of hands and in full
view of the delegates.
The spirit of Charles E. Hughes re
marked: "I would have been all ri?ht
if Will Crocker had not fed' me those
California ripe olives."
Said the spirit of Josephus Daniels:
"I am being punished for my Sims."
The spirit of Vice President Marshall
observed: "What the democratic party
needs is a fool killer. Then the few of
us left can form a new party."
. Frank Hitchcock's spirit told the
delegates: "It pays to advertise. I put
an ad in the papers, reading as follows:
'Situation wanted as political manager
for some candidate. Terms: Florida
delegates on delivery. Fast color guar
anteed.' Now look at the Job I got."
The spirit of Robert Lansing sol
emnly said: "May I not suggest to
you, my dear Colby, that it would be
the part of wisdom" and discretion to
move your office to the ground floor.
It is much safer. Cordially and sin
cerely yours."
The spirit of Secretary Baker sent
this message: "It's all very well to
insist on your love, but why didn't you
kick me upstairs into Lansing's job?"
From the spirit of Henry White came
this: "Ah. The Peace Conference.
I loved it. It was there I was cured
of insomnia."
There was a musical interlude, also
political, in which Senator Harding,
Attorney General Palmer, Herbert
Hoover, General Leonard Wood, Gov
ernor Lowden and William J. Bryan
all found themselves caricatured. Mr.
Palmer was asked:
"Were you a candidate for senator
against Penrose and Pinchot in 1914?"
"I decline to answer," he said, "and
plead the statute of limitations."
Enter the Dark Horses
Governor Lowden, who admitted that
he had been honored with the Virginia
delegates, sang "Carry Me Back to Old
Virginny."
Nearly all of the candidates sang
their claims to sit in the White House,
after which President Jermane an
nounced: "After looking this bunch over the
chair announces the convention is not
yet ready to vote. There , are some
dark horses down in the pasture which
we wish to inspect before taking deci
sive action."
The political status of the peace treaty
also was considered. Three chefsf irt
full regalia appeared in the center of
the hall and proceeded to concoct a
peace pudding, which they promised
would be the last word in artistic per
fection. The pudding, it appeared, was
planned to have 14 points of perfec
tion, but at the last minute it was
found necessary to eliminate a number
of the points. The trio of chefs la
bored diligently explaining the ingred
ients as they mixed. The pudding
finally was covered with an icing ap
proved by 49 members of the senate,
but not sooner had the icing settled into
place when the pudding exploded with
a loud report, scattering the contents
all over the chefs.
"Xow-we can't even pocket It," ob
served one of them sadly.
At one point the convention was in
terrupted by the invasion of a gor
geously dressed woman, who demanded
in loud tones to be shown to a seat.
The "woman" declared that she had
been elected a member and that, if nec
essary, she would throw a man out in
order to get a place at the table,
"If the women don't get self deter
mination," she said, "there'll be male
extermination."
When finally informed that it was
impossible to admit a woman to a Grid
iron dinner she promptly removed her
skirts, to the threatened scandal of the
convention and it was discovered that
the "woman" was a newly elected
member of the club.
There were speeches by Secretary
Ctrlby, Speaker-Gillett, Prince Casimir
Lubowski, the Polish minister; Colonel
George Harvey, General Pershing and
Governor Morrow. . Reporters, how
ever, are never present at Gridiron
club dinners so the speeches were not
'eported.

Pla.ns for the' observance of Ameri
ca's Gift to France in all the schools
of the state of Arizona have been
about completed by the State Depart
ment of Education, and commencing
today and continuing- until Saturday,
April 17, contributions will be made in
every village, town and city in the
state for the fund tha-t is to pay for
the great Marne Memorial, which will
be the gift of the United States to
France in commemoration of the' first
battle of the Maine.
Little committees of school children
have been formed for the work of mak
ing collections. Any contribution
from a penny to the largest amount
within one's means will be acceptab!e.
Cardinal Gibbons ha issued the fol
lowing statement appealing for support
for America's gift to Frantfe:
"When this statue stands on the
Marne," says the cardinal, "it will be
a testimonial for all time of America's
regard for what Fra.nce has done for
us." He points out that it is not so
much a question of how much money
for the sum is small and can easily
be raised but "rather is it a question
of how many people will wish to be
represented.
"America's Gift to France is a beau
tiful tribute to the French soldiers for
their great victory at the Marne In
defense of world civiliza-tion. The
memorial is proof of the deep love that
the United States has for France.
"I believe the American people have
a splendid opportunity by this gift to
give the French people some tangible
evidence of the bond of friendship that
has so long existed. When this statue
stands on the Marne it will be a testi
monial for all time of America's regard
for what France has done for us.
"Our debt to France goes back to
the War of the Revolution. Wltnoui
the help of Lafayette, Rochambeau,
d'Estaing and de Grasse, our inde
pendence would undoubtedly never
have been achieved. France came to
our assistance In the hour of our need;
she supported the cause of America
and of the whole world in one of the
most crucial hours of all history when
she hurled back the Germans at the
Marne.
"When I think of our attitude toward
France I recall the words, of the late
Archbishop Ireland:
" 'An American learns to love France
when learning the history of his coun
try. The past has not ceased to aci
on the present. American senttmem
cannot detach itself from France..'
"The appeal of 'America's Gift. to
France' will have the far-reaching ef
fect that it should have if there is a
very -wide representation in the giv
ing. It is not a question of how much
money. Rather is it a question of
how many people will wish to be rep
resenred. .'t is highly desirable that
the Marne statue be supported by as
many Americans as possible," says the
cardinal.
"The gift that France made to this
country was the Statue of Liberty, the
tribute of France to her sister repuD
lic. Today that monument stands
symbolic of the principles of liberty
and freedom which are priceless to
America, and France.
"I cannot think of a better way to
participate in a movement that so
enurender patriotism and good feeling
between nations tnan 'America's Giti
to France.' Here every person, aduit
and child, has the opportunity to snow
nis or her sentiments toward Franco.
Let each who cares to contribute in
come a part of this worthy cause so
tnat France may know that America
has responded willingly and freely as
is her custom."

AMUSEMENTS
Will Rogers at the Columbia
Inimitable, irrisistable Will Rogers
has won fresh laurels as the 'no good
guy who made good" in "Jubilo", the
vivid picturization of the famous Sat
urday Evening l'ost story by Ben
Ames Wiliams, the feature picture at
the Columbia theater today and to
morrow. That the story is delightfully
entertaining and refreshingly satisfy
ing every' person of the many who saw
its premiere showing yesterday wili
agree, for Will Rogers and a Saturday
Evening Post story together cannot be
anything but popular.
As Jubilo, the hobo hero of the story.
Will Rogers has an ideally suited role,
and he makes the most of it. Jubilo
is a tramp, a "no good guy." But his
wanderings lead him into seeing a
train robbery, and then into a series
of amazing adventures when he gets
work on a farm to wait around and see
the events ho thinks will follow the
robbery. A romance of unsual appeal
and interest runs through the story.
for on the farm Jubilo meets a girl,
and nearly every situation has a good
ly quota of smiles, for JuDilo has a

Peacock
Milkmaids of Phoenix are promised
generous rewards for an exhibition of
their skill at the big barn dance which
will be given at the Peacock next
Thursday night. One of the most in
teresting features of this entertain
ment will be a gentle cow, which will
hold the center of the dance floor and
give forth milk for those versed in
the art of getting it. To each feminine
dancer who succeeds in milking the
cow will be given a big box of Dono
frio's chocolates.
Always introducing something novel
in the line of entertainment at the
Peacock, Manager Walter Willis Pow
ell promises the barn dance to be a
r"eal cheer-making innovation. Special
decorations are being prepared for the
event and the immense dance hall will
be transformed into a picturesque
glimpse of "down on the farm." Some
of the patrons of the "dance hall beau
tiful" have indicated their intention of
wearing rurallte garb for the special
event and all members of the orches
tra and the entertainment staff will
appear in bucolic attire. Reservations
for tables next Thursday night are
now being made. '

Guy Bates Post, who is now repeat
ing in the. far West the; emphatic tri
umphs he has scored in eastern cities
through the medium or his great work
in "The Masquerader," and who comes
for a 5 days' stay at the Elks theater,
starting Sunday,- April IS, is a pro
duction of dramatic stock in Cali
fornia. In a conversation a few days ago
with San Francisco writers. Post told
w-ith enthusiasm about his school days.
He attended Trinity school at Mission
and Eleventh streets in San Francisco,
and among his comrades were Mayor
James Rolph of San Francisco and
George Hind, Rolph's associate in bus
iness. Post actually started his stage career
in Chicago, but after a brief season,
returned to the coast, playing a long
engagement in Seattle and other
dramatic stock centers. So pro
nounced was his ability at general
characterization that he caught the
eye of New York producers and it
was not long before Post revisited the
coast in "The Heir to the Hoorah." '
It was not until Richard Walton
Tully's famous "Omar, the Tent
maker" that Post's histrionic talents
were fully appreciated by the theater
going public and the production of
"The Masquerader" has resulted in
Post being uniformly hailed ,as the
first actor in the land.
"The Woman In Room 13"
"The Woman In Room 13." Pauline
Frederick's latest Goldwyn production,
which will be the attraction at the
Columbia theater on Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday la
classed as a detective mystery story.
With the fine dramatic art of Miss
Frederick ever present throughout the
story and the deft hand of irectoi
Frank Lloyd marshaling and building
a structure of dramatic and dynamic
scenes Samuel Shipman a.nd Max Mar
cin's story at once becames an absorb
ing photoplay and a mirror of;life as
it is known n every city of the coun
try. "The Woman In Room 13" was one
of the most pronounced stage suc
cesses of a few years ago and Frank
Lloyd has taken the main episodes or
the story and converted them into
photoplay of unusual merit. And there
is a new angle to the plot that de
velops into a situation so strongly
dramatic and mystifying as to create
a feeling of sublime tenseness at the
climax. While the story is of unusuat
interest, the cast is doubly so because
of the names of the players portray
ing the important roles, a roster of
artists that fully measure up to the
all too often miscalled all star cast.

In "On With the Dance" the Strand
is at present offering one of the sea
son's decidedly brilliant offerings, and
a. production that has succeeded in in
corporating the alluring environment
of Xew York life with an appealing
and unusual love story with an excel
lence that is seldom attained in motion
pictures. There is nothing over
drawn in the story its very charm lies
in its strict regard for correct detail.
The very nature of the offering calls
for the introduction of many amazing
brilliant sceues. Those "shots' de
picting the interior of New York's fa
mous Broadway "jazz palaces" excel
anything yet seen on tho screen, while
the true to life scenes from the East
Side the Bowery the famous "brown

rection. The added attractions are a Fox
Sunshine comedy "The Roaming

Bessie Love at the La man
For the' last showing today, the La
mara offers Bessie Love in her charm
ing Vitagraph drama "Pegeen". A
story of a rural community, Bessie
Love has made of the character "Peg
a masterpiece of sympathy a monu
ment of versatility, and an achieve
ment that will rank jas among her most
efficient work before the camera.
It tells the tale of a little waif in the
community which the author has named
"Happy Hollow". Taken in and moth
ered by Miss Moran, the girl's disposi
tion soon begins to make itself felt in
the sunshine and cheer Foe brings to
others When it comes to her atten
tion that her benefactress is going ic
be made marry a man she does not

treatments of a plot. The climax
finds itself in the happy culmination

The added attraction is "Hell's Ha-i:
