Funding of Hungary's $1,685,000 debt to the United States over a period of eixty-two years, as nego- tiated by the debt commission, was| approved by the House yesterday and the measure sent to the Senate. The money was advanced to relieve famine conditions in Hungary after the armistic Representative Crisp, Democrat, Georgia, a member of the debt com- mission, who brought up the bill, was asked by Representative Aber- nethy, Democrat, North Carolina, what steps were being taken to get France and other creditor nations to arrange for repayment to the United States of their war loans. Mr. Crisp declared that the debt | commission and the administration were doing all they could to induce America’'s creditors to fund their debts on terms similar to those worked out with Great Britain. “We realize that nations owing colossal sums cannot pay in cash,” he said, “but we believe they realize we expect a settlement.” b HOTEL LOGAN 13th St. at lowa Circle N.W.

Never before has she displayed such versa- | tlity of emotions, nor has she been so0 able to mold herself in her role with such understanding, running through the entire gantlet of aban- doned passions, undying love, girlish simplic wistful * sorrow,’ tragic all done with an equal eloguencs sively in purpose. Senator Thos. —making plain much that Senator Arthur Capper Senator Magnus Johnson Senator Samuel M. Ralston One article will be published each day—beginning Thursday —auntil the series.is completed. of power and charm. And to say that Jane Cowl displays the best of her ability as Juliet is to say that there has seldom, if ever, been played a Jullet more pleasing than the per- formance by this lovely and wistful actress, who seems, indeed, the fair daughter of Capulet in Shakespeare's romantic tragedy, which opened last night at the Shubert-Belasco Theater. At the first glimpse of Miss Cowl as the Innocent and totally unso- phisticated malden of sixteen sum- mers one rather wishes for the ac- tuality of the promise of New York managers of a Jullet by some clover girl-actress still in her teens, but before Miss Cowl has carried on for more than a few brief scenes it seems impossible that any more youthtul player could imbue the au- dience with™ the actual feeling and appreciation of her many childlike emotions to better effect. Nor could any less finished a_tragedienne sur- pass Miss Cowl in her more mature scenes. In the bedroom soliloquy, where she works herself up over the possible outcome of drinking the sleeping potion, she throws her whole soul into the scene with an utter recklessness that thrills with its reality. The tragic pathos of the death” scene is done with admirable fervor, and yet with equal ability she assumes the unrestrained joyousness of wild love and an all-consuming passion in the balcony scene, so often considered the making or breaking point of the play. The 8cene in the moonlight is one of exquisite naturalness, ss Cowl is_well supported b Rollo Peters as Romeo. He plays hiy part with sureness and ease. His reading of the lines is flawless and he makes a perfect counterpart for Miss Cowl, never attempting to rise to the display of superior acting. More than for his playing 1s he to be praised for the design of the production. The stage settings and scenic effects reach a high-water mark of art. Sim- plicity of design and form combined with vivid color effects prove an ex- cellent background for the piece. Dennis King as Mercutio is dash- ing, debonnaire, jaunty and flery. He plays with verve and eagerness, yet mellowed with delicacy and subtlety that wins admiration and much ap- plause. The cast as a whole is excellent. Every part is carried off with real finish. There is not a weak member in the entire cast. Jessie Ralph in the amusing and playful role of Ju- list's nurse and Gordon Burby as the hot-tempered and commanding Capu- let, Juliet's father, merit special men- tion. Glen Echo Looks Up.

Glen Echo is reached by electric car along the Potomaec, with frequent and fast car service, or by a short motor ride via Conduit road. Manager Schloss announces that a contract has been placed with the Corson and Grumun Company, paving contractors, which wili he completed within a few days, greatly enlarging the parking space. Keith's—Clark and McCul- lough. The closing of several big revues for the season has thrown exception- ally good entertainers into vaudeville. Clark and McCullough, who are head- ing the bill this week at Keith's, and the first to show here, are undoubtedly among the leaders in thelr class. Bobby Clark, with -his original fun making, has gone up the ladder of fame in bounds instead of by steps. His work helped materially in making Irving Berlin's “Music Box Revue, one of the season's successes. McCul- lough i3 a foil for Bobby, and he is a good one. Two_little skits are pre- sented, the first, “The Interview,” gives the pair a chance for .a lot of silly patter with a girl reporter, many of the jokes and sayings being at the expense of the lawmakers on the hill. The second skit is “The Bath Between.” Both occupy about forty minutes, and thirty-nine of them are taken up with laughter. The act of Marceile and his sea lion is unique. Marcelle does not resort to feeding the animal to get him to go through his tricks. The act stands out with unusual prominence. Other good features on the program include Millard and Marlin in an original dancing and talking act that went over with telling punch: the Zelda Brothers, acrobats and tumblers; Phone Main 8108-8109 38 e St 3% Shower ad lavatery 4100 2 JUST OFF 16th ST.

There are sufficient comedy, songs, dances and girls to suit most any ons and in addition a couple of vaudeville turns that are rather clever. Gertrude Beck is a little in advance of the other feminine entertainers in the matter of youth and vigor. She also sings a couple of songs that made a strong appeal to the audience Her number "with the Frasier Trin was one of the best features of the show iast night. Rosa Roselia is i chic little miss with a decided French air_and quite a little ability as singer. Ann Meyers is well known to Gayety audiences and has lost none of her popularity.
