20 PANESETD DFFER RADID ACREEWENT Envoy to Be Instructed to \ Open Discussions With Kellogg. L By the Associated Press. TOKIO, September 22.— Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Ambassador to Washington, will soon be Instrficted to begin conversations with Secretary Kellogg in regard to the Chinese wire- less situation, with the expectation that an American-Japanese compro- mise will be reached satisfactory to all parties. This information comes from foreign office sources It is said that neither the Japaneso nor the American Government is fa- vorable to the Chinese proposal to float & loan to take over all wireless in- terests in China, but it Is expected a counter-proposal will be worked out by Tokio and Washington. An international joint management 1s suggested as a possible solution. A foreign office spokesman said a French company recently opened a wireless station at Mukden, Man- churia, but ceased operations follow- ing an official protest by Japan, noth- withstanding that Gen. ( ng Lin, the Manchurian chief, granted the French company authority to continue. The Japanese government some Years ago protested to China against the grant of a license to the Federal Telegraph Co. of America to operate wireless stations In China, claiming that a Japanese company had been awarded a monopoly in a previous contract. AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—"The Tale of the Wolf."” For sheer delight, Ferenc Molx “The Tale of the Wolf,” that opened last night at the National, must search far for a worthy rival. One does not often see fantasy offered at its best in the theater. Fantasy is too elusive, it has a habit of slipping away from its creator and interpreter—but it does not do so in “The Tale of the Wolf" as fashioned by Molnar and interpreted with such marked drollery by Wallace Eddinger, Roland Young and Phyllis Povah. Molnar's second act, for the rea- €ons eet forth, is one mot soon 1o be forgotten. It is a vivid dream with every element of reality. It might easily have become chaotic, but the facility of Messrs. Eddinger and Young and Miss Povah refuse to al- low even a hint of such catastrophe, and, in consequence, one treated to as vivid an evening as the theater can offer. Molnar has built “The Tale of the Wolf” around a common little story of married life. A distractedly jealous husband, a loriously beautiful wife and the girl- hood suitor of the latter is the trio by which Molnar has done so handsome- ly. Dr. Eugene Kelemen is a doctor in the law, and no dumbbell in any other fleld. He is insanely jealous, recogniz fact and is able to analyze 1 1d-blooded r's stantly in terro s of men whom he s g to tear her from hi fact that she never looks at nother man. In the first act the playwright places the pair in a restaurant, where the jealousy flames when the wife bows to 2 man whom the husband recognizes as one of her girlhood suitors, but whose name she cannot even remem- ber. They go h and there, the ONCE UPON A TIME LENGTH, THE LAD REACHED NOME AND WAS GREETED LOVINGLY BY HIS WMIFE THE EVENING STAR, WASHING’I‘ON, BUT WHEN THE GREEDY MAN SAW THE DONKEYS LADEN WITH SOLD HE WANTED TO KNOW I HE COULD GET SOME Yoo © McClure Newspaper Syndicate husband mad with his jealousy, finds a puerile love letter from. the man in which he promises to come back to the girl as a great soldler, a great statesman, a great artist or & poor servant. Then comes the momentous second act, in which the girlhood suitor re- turns, not as one, but as all of the characters he pledged himself to achieve in the letter answering the| girl's rejection. In the beautiful ball- room of the countess Eddinger brings the poor little law clerk back, brings him with a _hilarity that seems to know no end—and that makes one wish there will never be_ one. The performances of Eddinger, Miss Povah and Young in this act are superb. The former two carry the burden, with the latter hovering, distraught, in_the background to keep the illusion from becoming too illusory. The third act is. of course, disil- lusionment. The girlhood suitor ac- tually returns, but quite differently than in the fantasm of the second Since Capt. Applejack, Eddinger has had little of moment for expression of his remarkable flair for farce. He de- yours the Molnar part as the Ed- dinger of old. Miss Povan, upon whom the second act calls for almost inex- haustible energy. gives a performance that is remarkably adroit. Young, as the husband, is the same ¢mphatically talented individual who helped make “The Beggar on Horseback” a thing of beauty and whose facility in the present play is on a par with that of Eddinger and Miss Povah. Among the three it is impossible to award honors. There are a_great many honors, too, to be awarded after seeing “The Tale of the Wolf,” but they must share them equally. Fantasy at its best is not lightly to BELASCO—"The Getaway.” “The Getaway,” a new play by Charles K. Van Riper, a California newspaper man, presented by the Dramatfsts’ Theater, Inc., In associa- tion with Willlam Harrls, jr., drew a fairly good audlence to the Belasco Theater last evening, largely, it is suspected, because Violet Heming and Minor Watson, both of whom at_different periods have made them- selves extraordinarily popular with local stock audiences, are the out- standing players. At any rate these popular artists drew the big ap- plause of the evening as a personal tribute and then farily earned it with unusually satisfactory characteriza- tions. “The Getaway” is melodrama pure and simple. It will not rank with The Great Divide,” “The Girl of the olden West,” or even “The Nervous Wreck,” but it has merits as well as defects of its own and may eventual- ly develop into a popular attraction. It seemed to please last night's audi- ence, although there was not at any time a wild outbreak of enthuslasm. It has much in the way of dialogue, not overly distinctive, a clever trick taxi scene and a third act that by itself is what the enthusiasts cail a corker. Like ‘all melodramas, it levies a heavy tax on the probabili- ties. Beatrice Terhune, affectionately called Trix, a rich and self-willed voung heiress, loves and determines to win Willlam Trent, a typical voung rancher, who also has a will of his own. In her very moment of success she spoils her plans by in- sisting that she will not live in Wyoming, where Willlam decides their home shall be.

Trix, then, using her knowl- edge that on the last day of the month the air mail will fly over Trent’s ranch with the monthly pay roll, persuades the crooks to mak an attempt to repair their fortunes in the hope that she may escape their clutches. Their arrival at the ranch has been preceded by a lone bandit bent upon getting the same pay roll. He has disarmed Trent, who misleads him into belleving the pay roll will not arrive until the next day. At this moment, however, the girl with the crooks from Chicako arrive, and just as they are about to accomplish their end they are held up by the lone bandit, a_very loqua- cious and somewhat gallant gentle- man withal, who relieves them of their spolls, permits them to be hand- cuffed and tied up for the sheriff, for the sake of the girl, and who, in turn. just as he is about to make his departure, is overpowered and dis- armed by Trent. It is all just like a real dime novel, and the small boy reader thereof will get the thrill of his life out of fit. The, play, such as it is, is prosented by a competent company, with Paul Harvey a real joy as the lone bandit, programmed as the Stranger.
