Mfc MB KING OF ALL THE EARTH: God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. Psalm 47: 1. My aj o xV by James Aswell New York, May 31— Business for tne shiitmakers booms here as well as among the “ists’’ and “isms” of Europe. The raw blue and the jet biack to say ;c thing of brilliant pinks with a flavor of arlem have become be-smarted for Park avenue nifty dressers. I bought a shirt today so black that on a aark night I am likely to mis place myself. Somehow Ido not have the manner, perhaps the build, to get away with snappy dressing a la mode etreme. * While hundreds ox sleelc gentlemen socialities paraded the town in the new shirt styles. I was vanquished on my first sally outdoors. A man in the corner drugstore was overheard to ask; “Who ip. that bloated Apache?” I hurried back for a shift to con ventional white. But, courage reviv ed, I even intend to brave the pur lieus of the newspaper boys in my jet shift-and that’s a venture Mr. Clytre Beatty could comprehend. The sooty fabric is fine for a lazy boy because it makes the neck look always immacu late. OLD PLAYGOERS In one of the theatrical restaurant rendezvous your reported fell to chat ting witfi Monte Proser, the advertis ing man and his wife, who is Julia Jenner of the Follies. There had been much backstage chatter that night as is always the case when the best known playgoing couple in New York is out front. This engaging pair, a snowy-haired man and wife, are known to the chor us and principals of hit shows simply as “Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine.” They have unique systme for attending the theatre. * t Instead of seeing all hte shows in rotation during the season they pick one musical or drama early in the fall and return to it again and again. They have been coming to the Follies twice a month since mid-winter. What entrances the actors, who see more or what transpires beyond the footlights than is generally believed is the way the old gentleman laughs hilariously and with abandon at the same jokes each time he revisits the show. The couple tries to get the same seats down front each time and when they cannot arrange this are simply glum until the magic of the greasepaint world begins to enrap ture them along about Scene 2. COOMEBACK Pulie Jenner, aforementioned, is a lass deserving a great deal of credit. She has staged a comeback of a type very rare in the theatre. Several seasons back while she was desorating the Vanities, a heavy piece of scenery toppled over on her and she was rushed to the hospital in a serious condition. They believed her beauty was disfgiured for life, until plastic surgeons restored her features as good as new. The M. D.’s aiso thought she would never walk again. She walked. They Insisted she would never dance again. She now “leads” on of the more in tricate dance routines of the Follies.

Silver Bill Goes Through The House (Continued irom rage One.; bloc, who wanted even broader legis lation, had contended the measure was just a “silver brick,” and that it would result in prolonging the depres sion ten years. Republicans attacked the proposal as involving unsound monetary prin ciples and said it was approved by the administration to meet the de mands of mining, speculative and other groups interested in making profits out of silver. Democratic proponents claimed it was needed to complement the gold policy of the government, and that it would increase commodity prices and foreign trade. The decisive vote was on rejection by 268 to 70 of a motion to re-commit the bill ot committee.

This telegram is re garded as nothing mate than an ef fort on the part of the merchants ana Dowell, their political strategist, to put ,the newspapers that carried these statements ‘‘on the spot”. Some re gard it as nothing more than a thinly veiled threat that unless the papers answered the telegram to the satis faction of Dowell and the merchants, they would be boycotted by the mer chants in their communities that op pose the sales tax. The wire which Dowell sent to these 22 newspapers is as follows: “Do you support the purposee of cer tain sales tax advocatees to increase the sales tax rate at the next legisla ture?

When questioned today as to how many newspapers had replied to his telegraphic questionnaire, Dowell said that “practically all” had replied and that “all but two or three” answered froth questions in the negative.
