16 FRIENDSHIP PACTS 'HAILED IN GREECE Venizelos Outlines Program in Parliament; Cees Turk Dispute Adjusted. ATHENS, Greece, October 23.—Eleu- therios Venizelos, prime minister, yes- terday outlined his program to the Greek Parliament. He devoted much of the address to international relations, with which he personally has been con- cerned on a recent trip to Rome, Paris, Belgrade and other capitals. M. Venizelos emphasized the signifi- cance of the new treaty of friendship and conciliation which he signed with Benito Mussolini on September 23. He also expressed pleasure at the removal of djficulties with Jugoslavia, particu- larly those having to do with free access of that country to the Grecian port of Saloniki. M. Venizelos said that similar treaties of friendship and conciliation would be concluded soon with Albania, Bulgaria and Turkey. He also looked forward to a satisfactory arux:glement of the finan- clal differences with Turkey. The Turco-Grecian difficulties have to do with the exchange of minority popu- Jations and mutual payments for prop- erty of nationals of each government in the other country. The question arose after the treaty of Lausanne gave East- ern Thrace to Turkey. The two govern- ments added cem“i,n hgzslnuses to th‘:t treaty as applying to this particular sit- uation, but later Greece became dissat- isfied with the manner in which Turkey was carrying out these annexed agree- ments. SUPREME COi:lRT REFUSES INSURANCE CASE REVIEW Interpretation of “Date’ in Suicide Clause of Policy Is Sought. ‘What is the interpretation of the *date” in the suicide clause of a life in- surance is the question in the case of the Northern Life Insurance Co. vs. Alice Edith Schwartz, which the Su- preme Court declined to review yester- day. August 2, 1924, Charles H. Schwartz made a written application to the com- pany for a $25,000 life insurance policy. Schwartz at the same time delivered to the company’s agent a promissory note for the premium, for which he received the "w&:thm.l binding m t.” The applicad 'was accepted policy issued Azsuzult 14 and delivered to him August 25. mns admitted that Schwartz com- the August 14 or August 25, 1924, that the suicide was itted within one year from the effective date and hence the {LEADER SHOE STORE =g Style— -with hidden comfort - 2 Sizes 2Y; to 10 Widths AAAA to EEE Made in Patent, Satin, Black, Brown and White Kid Leathers.

Mr. Ford de- nounced his son Paul, a young collegian with decide Jjazzy instincts, and final- ly disowned both Hope and Paul and ordered them out of his home. In the meantime came Mrs. Emily Pasteel with her daughter, Edna, who, she said, developed marvelous powers evangelism. Seeing in Emily a means of winning back recalcitrant churchgoers and even adding to his formerly numerous flock, the Rev. Mr. Ford-seized upon the idea of a revival. He advertised the advent of “New York's Leading Girl Evan- gelist.” Through a typographical error on the church signboard, it appeared that the girl was preaching under auspices of a daily newspaper, and the editor _thereof, as editors often do, znlpeq‘m opportunity for a sensational Just before she was to appear be- fore an_enormous crowd, it developed that Edna Had never been baptized. The Rev. Mr. Ford arranged for a pub- lic baptism, which was to be the starts ing point for the révival, but the girl, afflicted with an aversion to water, balked in the presence of assembled thousands and the meeting was a com- plete failure. From that point the story moves to a swift conclusion. Trustees of the church demand that the Rev. Mr. Ford take a vacation. He yields, turns over his pulpit to Mr. Hammond and ends the oppression of shattered nerves and ideals with a bullet. Mr. Gribble, who directs his play, has chosen an excellent cast. Hugh Buckler is highly convincing in voice and personality in the role of the Rev. Mr. Ford. Grace Filkins, as Mrs. Pas- teel, gives an amusing picture of the charlatan, who is exploiting Edna (Miss Anita Fugazy). her daughter, as the embryo evangelist. Elizabeth Allen plays the part of Hope. with grace and charm, and_Misses Charlotte Den- niston and Eunice Stoddard are very adequately cast as Faith and Charity, respectively, the other daughters of the Rev. Ford. Askland Powell, as Paul Ford, is a typical American col- lege boy, clever, cynical and frankly skeptical of everything in the “old- time religipn” of his father.

In view of his hitherto unsung status, he may as well prepare himself to accept the burden of responsibility in case the eventual popular decision may contra- dict the verdict of Miss Cowl’s uncom- promising admirers that the play is everything that the theater-loving heart could desire. ‘As for Miss Cowl herself, the “King Who Can Do No. Wrong” is a minor quantity in affairs compared to the actress, who is idealized in popular imagination as & Juliet, a Cleopatra and all the rest.

Beautiful stage settings serve to keep the eye continually: engaged and the ear is charmed not only by the voice of Jane Cowl, but by the harmonies of Hugo Felix, who gives incidental music an appeal far beyond that which it usually attains. The story of the jealous lover dream- ing in the moonlight is worthy of a poetic setting of dialogue, as well as the pictorial setting which represents the greatest appeal of this representa- tion. The play is a mixed metaphor —but it is all just a dream—and no dream would be worth the trouble with- out its mixed metaphors. Edmonston o.
