AMUSEMENTS Berlin Does Not Like Chorus Girls | TRIBUTE BY AIDES Naturalization Head, Leav- ing City, Praised for Work Here. Leaders in Americanization work in the District of Columbia Jjoined in words of praise for Oran T. Moore, director of naturalization of _the Washington division, Bureau of Nat- uralization, at a “farewell dinner” given in his honor by the bureau in the Meridian Mansions last night. Mr. Moore, who had been head of the Washington division of naturaliza- tion since its creation in 1911, has been transferred to the Detroft di- on, effective July 1. The latter di- vision' is larger and the transfer is considered a promotion. Among_the speakers to pay tribute r. Moore last night were Com- missioner of Naturalization Raymond F.

Stafford Maude Aiton, principal of anization School. who acted as s told of the growth of ashington division of the bu- reau, the important work that it has done and the great esteem held for Mr. Moore by all of those in the di- vision.

Justice McCoy approved the recom- mendation of Secretary .of Labor Davis to require the registration of aliens and expressed hope that the recommendation would be made a law by Congress. Associate Justice Stafford praised Mr. Moore for the work he had done while coming in close contact with foreigners and said: “It is something Thore i o be just naturalized. It is to be worthy of citizenship in such a wonderful country.” Miss Aiton Speaks. N titon told of the help Mr. Moore had been to the Americaniza- tion School and, referring to the Nat- wraliza :on Bureau, said, “We feel that we are rt of your organization and that you are a part of ours. Mr. Moore heartily thanked all those engaged in the work of Americaniza- tion in the Washington division for the co-operation they had given him. Telling of the different nature of the| work of the Naturalization Bureau at the present time, he said, “At first our job was not so much to uplift those to be naturalized, but to down the ward politician,” pointing out that many of the politicians used newly naturalized citizens to further their cause in politics. “Our second job wa; to see that a man was worthy of that great honor to be conferred upon him,” he said The remainder of the program in cluded songs and dancing. Miss Thelma G. Proctor was in charge of the program. Mr. Moore is to be succeeded July 1 by Jesse Thomas. Epileptics Escape. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., June 30.—The police here are making a search for X and Gladys Trace, residents of the State eplleptic colony, who were reported to have escaped from that institution Saturday night. They tied their bed clothing together and let themsélves down from the window of their room. NATIONAL—"“The Champion.” The National Theater Players last evening gave another of the very de- lightful entertainments with which they have been riveting a hold upon Washington Summer _theatergoers. ‘This time it was Thomas Louden and A. E, Thomas’ amusing comedy, “The Champlon,” In which a young Eng- lishman, now a naturalized American, returns to the family home, from which he had run away 15 years be- fore, welghted down with the dis- grace, or the honor, as you will, of being a champion prize fighter and a member of Congress, just at the time when the head of the family, who dearly loves a lord, is anxiously an- ticipating the election of one son to Parllament and another’s elevation to a bishopric. The fact that the prodi- gal is a pugilist is regarded as an overwhelming calamity until, just as he has been ordered to pull up stakes and clear out, the British aristocracy, including the lord mayor of the town, call to do him signal honor for having put the homely little out-of-the-way village of Notley on the map. Since its first presentation in Wash- ington, with Grant Mitchell as the pugilist son, the play has undergone changes, with the object of bringing it up to date, and it contains several new wise cracks, including the usual knocks. at prohibition, which serve to increase the laughter and to put the audience in good spirits. Director Clifford Brooke's excellent company added new laurels to its wreath of popularity, and the com- ment of many in the lobbies seemed to imply that the plays and the play- ers get better each week of their stay. Many had no doubt that “The Cham- plon” is the best of the stock plays vet offered, and all who have seen the Natfonal company will agree that that is saying a very great deal. Both Minor Watson and Leneta Lane gave admirable performances, and in this led a cast that was ful equate in all respects. Lillian Dean as the mother of the prodigal, Dorothy Tierney as his sister, Edward Arnold as his uncompromising father, whose ultimatum always was a demand for an explanation, and Lanier Kenneth and Willilam Phelps as his brothers, all ran true to life in their respective roles, while Romaine Callender as the villain rang the keys with a new chord, and Kathryn Givney made a quite acceptable French maid under the circumstances. Charles Halton's characterization of Mr. Mooney, whose one fault was that he had only told his wife a fact that set the whole county ablaze, was unusually good. Washington stock lovers are going to like “The Champion,” some of them even better than “The Whole Town's Talking,” last week's unusually good play. Miss Jane Mayes of Pryor, Okla., has been elected to act as queen of the national Indian convention for 19! Miss Mayes is a'Cherokee and is famed as a beauty. - Providence Hospital Committee Ex- pects 700 to Attend Card Party to Raise Funds. Preparations for the reception of 700 persons at a card party and dance on the roof garden of the Providence Hospital, which is being held to raise funds for the operation of the free dispensary at the hospital, have been made by a committee of voluntary charity workers who are giving the entertainment. All the funds raised will be used in the city-wide charity work carried on by the Sisters of Charity, who lend medical aid to persons who are not financlally able to pay for medical at- tention. * An_average of 50 persons a day are given aid in this way, it was said today. Regret that the ball and card party could not be postponed following the sudden death of Sister Cephas, “the little angel of Providence,” who de- voted much of her time to this service, was expressed by members of the committee making arrangements As tickets had been sold and all ar- rangements made, it was decided to hold the benefit party as scheduled. Mrs. M. R. Ready is chairman of the the committee in charge. She is as- sisted by Mrs. Clara Ross Astashkin, Mrs. A. Donnelly, Mrs. E. W. Costello, Miss D.

Beautiful Little Instruments Especially Priced at Savings and Trust Company Asks Court to Compel Francis Bell to Surrender Securities. The National Savings and Trust Co. yesterday filed suit in the Dis- trict Supreme Court ‘to compel Francis Bell, who rents a safe de- posit box in the vaults of the com- pany at Fifteenth street and New York avenue, to surrenaer to the company two bonds, one for $1.000 and one for $50, which he fs said to have found in a private room con nected with the bank's vaults. “Findings” is not ‘“keepings,” ac- cording to the complaint of the trust company. Through Attorneys Minor, Gatley & Rowland the trust company tells the court that March 1924, Bell took his lock-box from the vault and entered the private room to examine its contents. When he returned his box to the vaults he informed the custodian that he had found the two bonds in question and had locked them in his box. He declined to sur render the custody of the discovered securities, it is stated. The company contends Bell has no right to the securities nor to the cus- tody, as the bonds were not lost but had been inadvertently left in the private room by some other patron of the company who had used the room before him. The custody of the bonds belongs to the company, it is claimed, as custodian for the owner.
