GRANTS 10-DAY DELAY IN SALE UNDER DEED Chief Justice McCoy Halts Action on Plea That Obligation Was for Gambling Debt. Chief Justice McCoy of the District Bupreme Court yesterday postponed | for ten days an advertised sale of premises 3284 N street northwest un- der a deed of trust for $1,500. The sale, scheduled for tomorrow, was halted on the plea of Mrs. Anna Sacks Goldenberg and her father, Isaac Sacks, who claim that the deed of trust is null and void because given to secure an alleged gambling debt of Harry E. Goldenberg, husband of one of the plaintiffs, said to have been contracted prior to his marriage in February, 1922. Mr. Sacks tells the court that he bought the property in 1919 and placed the title in his dad@ghter's name while she was yet single and that he never authorized the execu- tion of the deed of trust now sought to be foreclosed. The daughter says she depended entirely on her husband and never read the paper and did not know she was jeopardizing_the prop- | erty in signing the deed. The plain- tiffs are represented by Attorneys James A. O'Shea and John I. Sacks. NEWCOMERS WELCOME CLUB’S NEW MEMBERS Special Program Given at City Club—Ladies to Be Enter- tained Next Monday.

KEITH'S—Adelaide and Hughes. With new scenery and bright ideas worked out in a dancing way, Ade- laide and Hushes are offering the top- line act at Keith's this week, with a hearty welcome and the usual suc- cess. Adelaide has been noted for several years as one of the best dancers on the stage, but even with that prestige she appears to grow better season after season. The new- est idea of this talented couple, “The Elopement of the Toys,” is a_pretty Washington, with an attractive pair of feminine assistants. He brings the dieappearing and reappearing act in which a handsome young woman quickly disappears from a casket, in which™ she has been inclosed. only to_reappear an instant later in an- other sevaral feet distant. A similar feat is performed with a pink hand- kerchief, which disappears from a glass boftle in plain view of the audi- ence in the twinkling of an eye and reappears tied in the center of a num- ber of handkerchiefs suspended on the other side of the stage. Pigeons are apparently plucked out of the air and a flock of ducks appears where nothing is before. Through- out, the act offers enjoyable enter- tainment. A good supporting bill presents the Baxter, “Assorted Chocolate: of the best features of the bill, p sent a comedian who is not only original and very clever, both in his fun-making ahd dancing, b the best of his kind Cosmos this season. Will J. Evans, in a tramp offering, aml “Prescrip- tions,” a farce with songs, featuring Al Weber. complete the acts. “Hoot" Gibson furnishes the photo- play feature, in “Single Handed,” a bit of rural comedy laid in Kansas, which pictures a mighty interesting single-handed fight and a Kansas cyclone that demolishes a circus in which “Hoot"” is unwillingly detained, but which finally involves him in a hunt for buried treasure and brings him a rich sweetheart. The minor film features are especially good and include Baby Peggy in “The Kid Re- porter,” a Century two-reeler; very interesting Urban Movie Chat nd an equally interesting International News issue.

Every sentence uttered by Bert brought forth laughter and applause, and Lew apparently, is only swung | into line to save the audience from becoming surfeited with too much fun. The lights had to be lowered to_enable this act to retire. Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne, veterans in the vaudeville game, also appear to get better and better. Cressy is never idle, and although his playlets run up in the hundreds, his latest is “The Man Who Butted In." 1t fairly bristles with bright repartee and comedy stunts, Other good turns on the program include Thomas E.

World’s Greatest Dust Mop in size, quality, service So marvelously made is the Wizard Mop that even after several years of use, you can tie up the strands, scissor off the rav- eled ends and still have a larger and bet- ter one than the average new mop! Wizard is the original and first triangle- shaped mop. You can wash it as often as you please without affecting its special chemical dry treatment or its soft absorb- ent qualities. It is so full-stranded that it holds all the dust instead of scattering it. Its human elbow joint makes the mop lie flat in any position. The sturdy metal band is padded to prevent marring and scratching. Wizard is so light it will save many backaches. Do not be without this great household helper another day.
