LAW CONVENTION - DRAFTS RECEIVE Pan - American Governing Board Will Transmit Them ' to Commission Meeting. A special meeting of the governing Board of the Pan-American Union was held at the Pan-American Union Build- ing yesterday afternoon for the purpose of recelving and considering the drafts of conventions prepared by the Amer- foan Institute of International Law. Theso conventions were prepared by the institute at the request of the governing board of the Pan-American Unlon in order that they might serve ag the basis of the work of the Pan- American Commission of Jurists creat- ed by the fifth international confer- eRoe of American States held at San- tingo, Chile, in 1923. This commission will meet at Rio de Janeiro during the course of the present year. IThe governing board ‘of the Pan- American Union decided to transmit thess conventions to the commission, and it is confidently ex that they will furnish the basis for the discussion of the commission when it asembles. Thanks for Assistance. “The board also adopted a special resolution thanking the Amerlcan In- stitute of Iute onal Law for its valuable co-operation in this work.

James Hook's pirate ship. They were all there—dainty Marilyn Miller as the fantastic boy who wouldn't grow up; Thomas Bell, as Nana, the most wonderful canine nurse the world has ever seen, even though she did regard children as pupples; Little Billy as Liza, the real author of the play (although Sir James Barrie got the credit for it). and droll, delightfully blundering Slightly Soiled, otherwise known as Donald Searle, all were there, with pirates and Indians, Toodles, Curly, the twins, and dear old Smee, the pirate who cried because he wanted a mother. Dorothy Hope is a most satisfac- tory Wendy and Audrey Ridgewell a charming Mrs. Darling; indeed, the entire cast !s extremely well balanced and uniformly excellent in its sup- port of Miss Miller in the title role. Miss Miller herself brings the spirit of Peter Pan into the play most ef- fectively In her dancing and graceful gestures. She is a rushing, fiying, Skipping Peter, never more pleasing than during nervous little runs and turns across the stage. The scenic decorations, setting and general background ensemble raise the production to a high plane. Artistic in conception, the scenic ef- fects never lose that quiet harmonic tone which enhances the charm neces- sary for lasting beauty. The fiight/ of the birds in the very last scene creates a charming fllusion and pro- vides a wonderful setting for Peter's farewell. Admirers of the play are indebted to Felix Hugo for the music; to George W. Harris for the scenery and costumes; to Alexis Kosloft for dances, and to Basil Dean and Donald Searle for the work of production. wire Wardman Park—"Kismet. inner was the star on the the Wardman Park Theater last evening in perhaps his favorite role, that of Haji the beggar, in his stage and screen production, “Kis- met” The plcture is some two or three seasons old, but In point of fact the production is well worth see- ing twice. In no other role perhaps has Otis Skinner brought so wholly to bear all the fine qualities of his training, not only of a finished actor, but as a interpreter of character, & de- s in Haji, the cruel, lovable, greedy nning, and at the last generous and pathetic beggar, gives the daughter of his heart er tover and husband, relinquish- all claim on her future lite or heart, and goes sorrowfully on his way, banished from the city. The production is magnificent, and an able cast is seen in the star's sup- port.

Miss Daley leads the chorus down the illuminated runway and is a veritable Simon Legree in driving the ‘girls to do their best. The show is a rather pretty affair, at times avoring much of the musical revues, with numberless pretty costume chenges and oddities in scenic sel- tings. Comedy, always in evidence, is sup- plied by Lena Daley, Eddle Shubert and Billy “Bumps” Mack. Shubert Is an odd type of comedian and his work gets better as the show pro- gresses, his most effective work com- | ing in the second act. Billy Mack has taken a leaf out of the book of “Bozo" Snyder and plays throughout the show without saying a word. His skating turn was much enjoyed last night. His dance numbers are exe- cuted with the skill of a trained ath- lete. The musical numbers are well done by Martha White and Sid Gold, and a dance speclalty by Rosen and Ellis is neatly executed. Two scenic settings deserve special praise. “The Land of Jewels” dis- plays a number of gorgeous costumes worn by pretty girls and “A Chinese Garden” runs the gamut of Oriental splendor. The show carries an accomplished shouter of “blues” songs in Ada Brown. Her number proved rather popular. The chorus 1s composed of 19 sprightly damsels. Lou Denny makes a good stralght man. Others in the cast are Glad Jackson and Jimmie an. Mutual——°_s;ep Along." An entertalning “girlesque” revue, entitled “Step Along,” is offered by the Mutual Theater this week. A review of this attraction cannot well be other than a eulogy of Mina Bernard, a_diminutive miss, who lit- erally and figuratively dominates things. She has every requisite for a star, including personality plus, but shows to best advantage in solo danc- ing. Her best number is an Indian jazz, in which she is assisted by a pretty and well trained chorus. The comedy end of “Step Along” is well taken care of by Max Coleman and Bernie Moore, who intersperse thelr foollshness with a succession of “wise cracks,” some bewhiskered, of course, but none failing of thelr pur- pose.

By the Associated Press. NAPA, Calif.. March 3.—After a hearing in Superior Court here yes- terday, Lieut. Frank E. Kennedy of the United States Navy was denled a writ of habeas corpus and returned to the State Hospital for the Insane here, to which he had been commit- ted by naval authorities. The only matter argued when Ken- nedy was brought Into court yester- day was whether the court had juris- dictfon. After the hearing Kennedy's attor- neys announced that they would make the same application to the Federal court. The action ends the case, so far as the State courts are concerned, under present conditions. Among the sensational charges made {n connectfon with the Kennedy case was that the officer “knew too much” about the recent suicide of his friend and supporter, Lieut. Al- bert P. Burleigh, U. S. N. Judge Percy S. King dissolved the shows to good advantage in dancing as well as songs, although handicap- ped last night by hoarseness. The “3 Graces,” recruited from the chorus, present various numbers of rhythmical dancing, which are well received.

PANAMA, March 3.—Supreme Court Judge Francisco Ossa, who was sent to the San Blas coast by the govern- ment to investigate the Indian upris- Ing of last week, in which a number of Panamans were killed, has re- turned to Panama and made his re- port to Secretary of the Interior Lo- pez. The secretary has filed a strong protest with John Glover South, the American minister, over the use of numerous Amerjcan flags by the San Blas Indlans on their sloops. Senor Lopez says the Panaman government is exerting every effort to arrive at a settlement of the dispute with the Indians without further bloodshed, but that it “will not tolerate such mockery.” Judge Ossa, in his report, says that Minister South refused to permit him to cross-examine Richard O. Marsh, the American explorer, who was in the San Blas reglon during the up- rising, at a hearing on board the United States cruiser Cleveland. He adds that Mr. Marsh will leave the San Blas coast on the Cleveland and proceed to the United States unless instructions to the contrary are re- ceived from Washington. Among those killed during the In- dian uprising was one Chilean and one Spaniard. The consuls of Chile and Spain already are preparing to file claims for indgnnification.
