AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—“So This Is Lon- don?” Goodrich's _comedy, “So his 1s London,” a George M. Cohan Bucaess of New York and London, is offered as this week’s attractlon at the National. The play, though pure comedy, nevertheless takes the turn of a distinct apweal for international friendship. Coming close upon ll:e Visit of David Lloyd George to this city, it seems & happy coincidence that his plea for American under. standing of England and continental Europe in the present state of un- settlement should be followed by a Week of stage propaganda—comedy though it is—for a less hostile at tude of American and English indi- viduals against each other. Hiram = Draper, jr. and Elinor Beauchamp, both young and in love with life, have fallen in love with sach other. It happened on ship- board, during a trip from America to England. Hiram senior is a typi- cal American who has attained suc- cess Wealth through his keen to put through in a hurry. The voy- ago to London is for-the purpose of purchasing a thriving shoe industry. Hiram senior and Mrs. Hiram having been confined to their staterooms after the first day out, young Hiram {s left unguarded for the remainder of the voyage, and so he puts behind Rim his father's intense dislike ‘for all things English and proceeds to fall in love with the daughter of a Britisher who holds an eternal con- tempt for America and all things American.

RIALTO—"A Lady of Quality.” Frances Hodgson Burnett's delight- ful story, “A Lady of Quality,” is given unusually fine and sympathetic production in the picture version, which is the feature at the Rialto Theater this week. The settings are beautiful and the costuming charm- g for this story of the time of ‘good Queen Anne. Virginia Valli, who has not been seen very frequently on the local screen, is the beautiful and tempestu- ous Clorinda, the tomboy ffth daugh- ter of .a rough old country noble- man, who admires physical courage above everything else and who con- siders the fox hunt and the imbibing of much liguor as favorite pastimes. Miss Valli is much more interesting in the preceding two-thirds of the film than as the proper and subdued granddame of the last part. She is fortunate in not having to try to imitate the actions of a boy, though dressed in the picturesque masculine garb of that period, thus she is free to be a veritable flapper of the early eighteenth century. Earl Fox is an exceedingly good young villain, giv- ing a clever impersonation of a Don Juan of that time, and Milton Sills, in spite of the fact that his wig is unbecoming, is quite satisfactory as the hero. The other members of the company are adequate and the pho- tography is excellent. Tt is one of the most interesting of | the many costume plays that have suddenly filled the motion picture screens all over the country. Will Rogers is the lovabie tramp hero of the comedy, “Jus' Passing Thru,” which, with the news reel, completes the bill. There is also an orchestral selection and Director Wild has cleverly arranged the music for the feature film so as to suggest the action, even to the clashing of blades in a duel. COLUMBIA—Gloria Swanson,. in “Zaza.” Gloria Swanson has done to “Zaza" what Nazimova did to ‘“Camilie’— that is, made & rather fantastic and extremely modern version of the famous old story that has intrigued 80 many famous stars of drama, opera and now the “movies. In the elaborated filmed version shown at the Columbia Theater for a second week, beginning yesterday afternoon, the self-assured Miss Swan- son tries very hard to present the character as a vulgar yet lovable young actress who has risen liter- ally from the gutter to a prominent place on the stage of a small town in France. She makes Zaza not only excessively emotional and unreason- able, but absolutely without the slightest finesse in the shading of her different -moods. The most interesting part of her work is the more sub- dued characterization during the final reel of the long feature when there are occasional glimpses of the old Gloria who charmed in the early Cecil de Mille pictures. There 1s no need this second week to go further into the story of the picture, which was fuily presented last Monday. Sufficient to say that the whole picture is Gloria, and if = -d;;nre& Gloria sufficlently =na enjoy the picture. Many peop) seemed to want to see the prodlpl?!o of Elinore Glyn in this plcture yestes- day, for the theater was well filled at all performances. PALACE—“The Social Code,” Viola Dana, piquant little the screen, has turned to drama in her latest picture, Social Code,” forsaking the frothy comedies upon which her success was bullt. There may be some who will ltke the new Viola, who looks con- siderably more mature than her for- mer screen self, by the way, but many will long for the clever comedienne, rather than the emotional actress. “The Social Code” is sadly lacking in originality, and unfolds a train of events in such a manner that the au- dience is always a lap ahead of the picture. It is the old, old story of the villain and the ‘“papers’ and the dashing young hero who seeks to re- cover them to shield a woman's honor. There is the chain of ,circumstantial evidence built up by a quarrel at the club prior to the fatal interview, so that the finger of suspicion will point at the innocent youth when the villain is found murdered. Then there is the scrap of paper carelessly left behind which implicate a mysterious “woman in the case.” The heroine knows that the woman involved is her sister and to save her reputation and the life of the gallant hero she proclaims to the world that she herself had written the letters and that they were re- turned to her on the night of the murder. An alibi is thus_established and the jury gives a verdict of “not guilty.” ’ The girl's sister later assures her that the letters had been written long, ‘long ago and that she no longer loves the hero. Then the latter confesses that the affair was just a little flirta- tion on his part also, and that in reality he loves her, 8o her nobility in shielding those who were dear to her is rewarded by the conventional fade- out. The program is supplemented by a ennett comedy, “One-Cylinder Lov. Fox educational film, “Up in the Clouds,” and a news weekly. The Palace Orchestra, under Tom Gannon, contributes an enjoyable musical in- terlude in the interpretation of Friml's “The Firefly. METROPOLITAN—*Ashes of Ven- geance.” “Ashes of Vengeance,” with Norma Talmadge in the leading role, began its second week's showing yesterday at Crandall's Metropolitan ~Theater. The theater was crowded, at each presentation yesterday and -last night, - indicating the = popular ap- proval of the picture, which s un- doubtedly, one of the best of the year. So enthused was the the audience yesterday that at various times it manifested its' approval with hearty applause. The show deals with one of the most_picturesque periods in French history. The court scenes of the time of King Charles IX are elab- orately staged, and beautiful views are shown of various castles. With Miss Talmadge in the cast, are Conway Tearle, Wallace Beery. Courtenay Foote, Claire McDowell, Josephine Crowell, Winter Hall and Carmen_ Phillips. The bill is the same at last week with news pictures and an_excellent musical program by the Metropoli- tan Orchestra, under the direction of Danfel Breeskin. AMBASSADOR—"The Call of the wild.” “Buck,” Hal Roach's magnificent St. Bernard, yesterday scored an in- stant hit in_his Capital debut as star of Jack London's dog epic, “The Call.of the Wild. juck” is a fine specimen of his breed and visualizes all the instinctive and acquired traits with which Lon- don imbued the dog of his imagina- tion, The early happy home and kindly treatment as a favorite pet; then the thievery of a knave from the Klondike, who sold_him into hard service on the Yukon; the tenderfoot with no ‘knowl- edge at all of requirements laid upon every one, who tried to wrest a livell hood from the frozen gold flelds. then possession by the kind-hearted John Thornton, who made him a partner; the eventual opportunity to square accounts with “the man with a club.” who had sold him into slav- ery, and finally the reversion to type as mate of the savage she-wolf— all these developments of the writ- ten page are shown with a natural- ness and a moving display of dog intelligence, physical endurance and prowess, The principal human roles are played by Jack Mulhall, Walter Long and Laura Roessing. The bill also includes the “Leonore 3ra” orchestral overture, a comedy, starring Harry Pollard and Paul Par- rott, “Dear Old Pal,” and “Topics of the Day,” with an added cartoon. It will be repeated today, beginning at 6:30 p.m. CENTRAL—“Temporary Mar- ringe? “Temporary Marriage,” presented for. the first time before Washington audi- ences at the Central Theater yesterday, offers a handsomely mounted and staged attraction and an insight into the character of the players which has a tendency to grip the interest of an audience. The picture unfolds the life story of a middle-aged woman who thought her husband behind the times because he accepted ‘the inevitable restrictions of later life when she imagined that she still wished to be young and frivolous. Her daughter was encour- aged to adopt all of the flippancies and dissipations of the fast social set. Her husband’s young partner resented this, and did all in his power to save the girl from her own transgressions. Finally a tragedy occurred in the rooms of the young adventurer, who had hoped to win a considerable part of the Manners' wealth, through_ a flirtation with both mother and daugh- ter. Here things come to a rapid climax. The elder Mauner saves the 1ife of his young partner, who assumes guilt to protect Mrs. Manner and her daughter. This attraction will run through Wednesday. “The Three Orphans,” which includes George O'Hara in a furious boxing match, ofters a good subsidary attrac- on. CRANDALL'S—To the Last Man.’ “To the Last Man,” a thrilling west- ern feud romance, from the novel by Zane Grey, presenting pictures taken in Arizona on the actual scenes of the story, is shown at Crandall's Theater for the first three days of the week. The cast of the play is headed by Richard Dix and Lois Wilson, who are sup- ported by Noah Beery, Robert Edeson, Frank Campeau, Jean Pallette and Winifred Greenwood. The story 18 of a feud on a western cattle ranch in which love, romance and are blended. The tragedy features give the story a dark background that brings out the romance with force, Two cattle ranchers on adjoining estates are pros- ecuting a deadly feud that was started in Texas. 'The son of one and the daughter of the other belligerent meet and fall in love and it is then that the romance opens amid scenes of slaughter of men on both sides. Both principals and men on both sides are killed, the sole survivors being the boy and the girl. The story is interestingly rounded out when the young people plight their troth, The comed~ is & “Dippy Dvo MRS. A. M. SANFORD DIES. Wife of Finamncial Clerk of Polica Courts Succumbs.

British dominion officlals remain confident that a committee of experts will be appointed, possibly with an American as chairman, but they con- sider M.

PARIS, October 29.—France will not agree to any reduction of the German reparations debt by a com- mittee of experts, nor will she con- sent to any plan under which the reparation commission would sur- render the prerogatives conferred on it by the Versallles treaty. Premier Polncare yesterday gave notice that although France wel- comed Americar representation on such a committee, she must insist that it act only in conformity with the peace treaty, thus virtually mak- ing the commission an adjunct to the reparation commission's staff of experts. in a note to London, Premier Poin- care made an extensive interpreta- tion of the treaty text as it applies to the functions of the commission, concluding that inasmuch as that body could “extend the periods and modify the methods” of reparations payments, but could make no reduc- tions, the proposed committee of ex- perts must have no such authority. At Sampigny, in a speech, the remier asserted that if the phrase “a fresh eftimate of Germany's ca- pacity to pay” meant a ‘round-about way to reach a dimiunition of the German debt,” then France was re- solved not to favor such a “combi- “If it means an estimate of what Germany can pay tomorrow and in the near future,” he continued, ¥noth- ing is more necessary than such an examination. The commission on reparations is charged with such a task, and there are no grounds to take one of its most important func- tions from it BRITISH PRESS AROUSED. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 29.—The reserva- tions whioh Premier Poincare at- taches to French assent to the pro- posed reparations inquiry are regard- ed by the London newspapers as mak- ing the holding of the conference very problematical. “It begins to be a question whether an inquiry, conditioned by such re- strictions, can Serve any very useful purpose,” says the Times. It adds that the allies are “firmly convinced that by her present policy France is defeating both objects; she is render- ing the collection of reparations daily more hopeless and is planting a passionate desire for revenge in the German mind.” The Times questions whether Amer- fca will share in the inquiry under the conditions prescribed by Premier Poincare. The Dally News and the Westmin- ster Gazette urge that if Poincare's decision is final Great Britain should ask the United States to come into a conference of which France is not 2 member. The Morning Post says: “If all the allles were as resolute as Premier Poincare, or as determined as the United States, in getting money back Germany would soon be brought to reason. Today's cabinet council is expected to consider Premier Poincare's elab- oration of the French attitude toward the proposed conference. POINCARE SPEECH TEXT. By the Assoclated Press. SAPIGNY, France, Ooctober 29— Premier Poincare in a_speech here yesterday declared that France would refuse to allow the reparation com- mission to be divested of its func- tions or replaced by some other body. He sald that France could not agree to_any reduction in the German debt. The premlier asserted that he wel- comed American representation on a committee charged by the reparation commission - to investigate Ger- many's capacity to pay, but that every act of the committes must re- main within the terms laid down by the Versailles treaty. The premier, who delivered a long apeech' at the unvelllng of a monu. ment to the war dead of the village in which his country residence is situated, said: “We constantly are being asked to proceed to a fresh estimate of Ger- many’s capacity to pay. What does that mean?, If it means by a round- about way to reach a diminution of the German debt, that is & combina- tion we are resolute not to favor. “If it means. an estimate of what Germany can pay tomorrow and in the near future, nothing is more nec- essary than such an examination. “The commission cn reparations is charged by the treaty with such a task, and there. are no grounds to take one of its most important func- tions from it.” M. Poincare said the commission was above suspicion; it had shown itself competent and impartial; it was obliged to give Germany, with each decision, a fsir opportunity to present her observations.

Poincare, “and the del will undoubtedly soon be it let 1t work and fulfil its man- Having thus stated what he con- sidered the position and value of the reparation commission, M. Poincare ::g.l:ngnmt’lée b ndvl ugln and sluwll- ressed to -him by Stanle; Baldwin, the British prime minister —"& courteous invitation to an in. ternational conference or a. commi: slon of experts placed under the com- mission on reparations and & friendly supplication to reflect thrice before refusing these propositions.” “As Mr. Baldwin's speech dates over thrice twenty-elght hours” M. Polncare continued, have taken time ~ to meditate it—more than thrice” His first thought, he said, was that there was agreement on the essential point as to the neces. sity for a settlement of the repara- tions question and concerted action by, the allies to insure payment. “We also, llke Mr. Baldwin,” said M. Poincare, “hope that the United States consents not to. keep {tself completely dissoclated from the af- fairs of Europe. We belleve the stronger the economic, financial and moral solidarity i8 between the old and new continents the better will the cause of humanity be served. ‘But what would such an inter- national conference discuss? How would it be composed? What rela tions of collaboration or dependence would it have as regards govern- ments or the commission on repara- tion: What would be its powers? ‘All these problems passed through my mind during the first stage of meditation without my being able to solve them. Much fun has been made in England over my Sunday dis- courses; but what daily contradictory and useless discourses would an in- ternational conference mean while you, my friends, still were waliting for stones and tiles to rebulld your homes? “If, in truth, the British govern- ment is not thinking of asking us to make Germany come and sit at the conference of which it speaks; if it has stmply, like ourselves, a desire for obtaining the co-operation of the United States, it is easy for us to reach an understanding on the idea already considered at Paris, as at Washington, Brussels and Rome. ‘The commission on reparations is there. 1t makes investigations; ex- perts make inquiries daily; it can, without the slightest Innovation, ask the semi-official delegate of the Unit- ed States to nominate American experts to examine, with the French, English and Belgians, the present capacity for payment by Germany, and to demand that the reich draw up a program of financial restoration and a detailed plan of reparations without going outside the treaty.” Here the premier seemed to have reached the point he desired to em- phasize: Firm Against Concension. “We cannot,” he said, “accept that the commission be dispossessed of its functions or replaced by an organism in which our share of influence, al- ready inferlor to our interests, would be still further reduced. We have reached the limit of our concessione. We shall not go farther. M. Poincare began his speech by pointing out that he, unhappily, had proved himself right in advising cau- tion when “the German government nolsily announced the cessation of passive resistance and when he warned France that Intrigues and even evasions had not yet ended. He then denied that France had been in- strumental In arousing internal trou- bles in Germany. Ve have always scrupulously re- mained outside the internal affairs of Germany,” declared the premier, “and the allegations of the German gov- ernment, scandalousiy spread in Eu- rope and the new world, will not ob- scure the truth from impartial spec- tators. Whatever Germany's future constitution may be; whatever may be the relations between the states composing it, we shall never think of violating the conscience of the pop- ulation. ~ We nourish no plan of an- nexation, but we shall never renounce our claims to permanent guarantees for security.” M. Poincare then dwelt on Ger- many's war preparations in aviation and other ways, saying France would not sacrifice her rights to reparations any more than her clalms to, security. He defendéd the occupation of the Ruhr, saying that without that Ger- many today would be able to refuse payments and continue to enrich_her- self through her factorles using Ruhr coal, whereas it now was to her in- terest to pay her creditors at the earliest possible time in order to hasten the evacuation of the Ruhr. “All we ask of our allles,” sald M. Poincare, *'is observation of the treaty they signed, as well we. The schedule of May 5, 1921, is definite and it cannot be modified without our consent. The treaty lays down no reduction that can be granted Ger- many without unanimity on the part of the creditors, and France is too much tried to adhere to a reduction.” The premier ended his discourse with words of gratitude to the al- lles, Tecognizing that fraternity of assured succe: French efforts. T ke “But,” he declared, “each of us, struggling for the others, struggled also, and above all. for himself. We have given as much as we have re- celved, and we can clalm gratitude equal to that we owe our friends. ® * * We will no longer remain ex- posed to fresh aggressions on our e“?(al!:;:ll l‘rl:’ntler‘ ‘which™ President one day very ju: trontler of 1iberty. 1 1Y called the AGREEMENT IS SEEN.

Counsel for the policemen on trial objected to Packard explain- ing his reasons for such a stand in private. Unless the bottle is to be ac- cepted as testimony, witness added, it would be useless to hear him- or any other witnesses on the specifica- tion. He was excused by the board. The bottle in question was the one revenue agents swore Lieut. Davis had produced as evidence against James Pritchard and Pomeroy Brown after they had searched the man's automobile and failed to find any in- toxicants. Packard’s refusal to continue as a witness left the trial board help- less and it passed on to another spec ification alleging that Lieut.

Practically the same witnesses were called and testimony similar to that given on the preceding specifi- cation was offered. Fowler and Ruby talked voluminously, but when Pack- ard was summoned, he again refused to enter into the case until the bot- tle in question was admitted in ev dence.
