Ulrich of New York against the owners of the steamship Vestris, on which they were passengers when it sank at sea. On the basis of the libel an at- tachment was issued on the’steamship Balfe, partly owned by Lamport & Holt, Ltd., Vestris owners. The ves- sel was docked in New Orleans.

NEW YORK, December 19 (P).—Mme. Ganna Walska (Mrs. Harold F. McCor- mick) was an influenza patient yester- day and her appeal against the ruling of the Treasury Department that she must pay duty on jewelry she brousht into this country from France recently was adjourned. Henry D. Buckley, representing her counsel, told judges of the Customs Court that Mme. Walska was too ill to appear and the case was continued until the January term of court. Mme. Walska has contended that she was not subject to duty on the articles in question, since her legal residence was in Paris. The Treasury Depart- ment, in making its ruling, maintained that her residence was determined by the old common law as that of her husband, in which case it would be in Chicago.

Attractions in Washington Theaters NATIONAL—"Strange Interlude.” The company that comes to the Na- tional Theater next Sunday to play Eugene O'Neill's “Strange Interlude” is not by any means a road company, even though none of its members was g to Guild, this is a specially selected cast, and certainly such players as Pauline Lord, Ralph Morgan, Harry C. Bannis- ter and Donald McDonsld, the leading members, cannot be regarded as infe- rior to any on the American stage today. That there is nothing to choose tween the company that is to play here ‘has been giving the drama in New York is being thoroughly proved this when the company that is come to Washington is supplanting the New York col in the John Golden “Theater, New York, for this one week, 0 that the New York critics may have an opportunity of judging the ‘merits of both companies before the touring troupe begins in Washing{on the extea- sive itinerary that will take it to the Pacific Coast and back. Miss Theresa Helburn, executive di- tector of the Theater Guild, has said that the “Strange Interiude” company that is to come here tops the New York company in many respects. Probably no piay in recent years has aroused such eager anticipation as “Strange Interlude,” partly on account of its great length that necessitates be- gtnnm‘ the performance at the rovel our of 5:30 in the ev-:nina, with a dinner intermission later, on ac- count of its new technique of express- ing the inner thoughts of the charac- ters, and mostly on account of its dra- matically interesting story. BELASCO—“The Gingerbread Man.” “The Gingerbread Man,” most charm- ing and beautiful of Christmas fan- tasies, to be Mr. Cook’s holiday presen- tation at the Belasco Theater, starting Sunday evening, will offer youngsters an opportunity to take their pareats to the theater. This gala production, which resem- bles the Christmas pantomimes made famous at the Drury Lane Theater, London, utilizes the fu'l strenzth of the Savoy Musicomedians, with many added attractions in the form of an augment- ed singing chorus, an especially engaged toe ballet, spectacular scenery and bril- liant new costumes. Beginning Christmas day, daily mat- fnees will be given at the Belasco for kiddies too young to stay awake past 9 o'clock. It is promised that “The Gin- gerbread Man” will be & treat for youngsters from 7 to 70. In addition to offering Eddis Morris in the title role, a part he played in Washington more than a dozen years ago, Renee Hamilton, who has appeared in half a dozen or so Christmas panto- mimes in London, as Jack Horner: Bob Capron in a role’ so surprising 1t wouldn’t do to give him away, Frank Gallagher as Simple Simon, Thelma Parker as the madcap Margery Daw, Edward Metcalfe, with a splendid bari- tone voice (debut), as Fudge; James McKay as Santa Claus and Bruce Tor- rence as the Fiery Dragon. “The Gingerbread Man” also intro- duces Helen Ault, the Washington girl who made a hit in “Honeymoon Lane,” as a principal of Mr. Cook's merry- ;‘riakers in the role of Princess Sugar um. Some of the enchanting song and dance numbers include “That Awful Bogie Man,” “The Fairy Dance,” “The Beautiful Land of Bon-Bon,” Old Ram- eses,” “Queen of My Dreams,” “Nur- sery Rhymes,” “The Moon Song” and “Do You Believe in Sahta Claus?” There will be no advance in the pop- ular prices, now one of the featurss at the Belasco. WARDMAN PARK—“One Night in Bethlehem.” “One Night in Bethlehem” is the Christmas story which will be told by the players at Wardman Park Theater this week for their juyenile audiences. The aisles of the suditorium will be trangformed into a king's highway, on which the village lights gleam softly in the crisp, cold night. There will be a town crier on the highway, leading the carol singers, who sing gayly before the cottage windows which make part of the staging of the auditorium. ‘There is a little boy in the castle on the hill—the hill is the stage itself— who hears the carolers and is beside himself with the joy over Christmes eve. This little boy is the hero of the play, for when he falls to sleep in the deep castle window to the far strains of “Oh, Holy Night,” he dreams a won- derful dream. The dream is that he is the little footboy of the inn, who cares for Mary and the manger on that won- derful, eventful night. He has a thrill- ing experience with the shepherds in the fields, and another with the wise men in the way, and the most exalting one of all at the manger itself after Ahe birth of the Chyd. Shigley Horton will play the little boy, and Leslie Kent his mother, who afterward plays Mary, too. Gordon Kilbourne will play the young wise man, and Ted Tenley the town crier, who later in the play is the watchman shepherd. The perform- *|ances will be as usual, at 3:45 o'clock Friday afternoon, 8:15 o'clock Friday evening and 2:30 o'clock Saturday aft- ernoon. STRAND—“Dimpled Darlings.” Comedy -takes first place in the ar- rangements for entertaining patrons of the Strand Theater next week, during the engagement of “Dimpled Darlings.” George Leon, the featured comedian, Jeads in the attacks on gloom, and will have as an assistant gloom chaser Eddie Lorraye, a German comedian, who dif- to | fers greatly from Leon in his mirth provoking. With_their associates, Abe Sher and Alfred Kay, a comedy quartet has been assembled that is said to ‘“beat band” for laughable outgivings of song, story and comicalities. ‘The tmst.el of th: fair sex h;:_:‘lludes“; bevy of singing ant girls, wi Fay Norman !umm Norman is of the in-snue type, and sings the rima donna roles. Lillian Kaye, sou- rette, will assist her in marshal the singing and dancing chorus in many tuneful ensembles, spiced with It will be a merry Christmas ‘Washington theater goers if a visit to Crandall’'s Metropolitan during Christ- mas week is included in the list of holi- day visits, for a program arranged espe- clally for the whole family is an- nounced. The screen feature will be First National's mystery comedy-drama, “The Haunted House.” For those who like their mystery sea- m{!fled mh laxggletgr ‘yl.;lfl wl;tr)‘ prefer a cold cl P a grin Haunted House” should perfectly fill the bill. Chester Conklin and Flora Pinch, at the head of a fine cast, pro- vide plenty of comedy. This team always to be relied upon, and their ex- periences in a house that is reputed to be decidedly an unhealthy spot for people with weak nerves are declared excruciating. Thelma Todd, Eve South- ern and Barbara Bedford are three beautiful girls who provide the love element as well as much of the mys- tery. Montague Love, William V. Mong and Larry Kent, as the handsome young hero, complete the cast. The added Christmas week features will include a new synchronized Our Gang comedy, *“ Age,” in which the hilarious antics of the Hal Roach gang are good for many a laugh; a Vitaphone short-reel - presentation, featuring Red Corcoran, well known vaudeville artist; a Christmas novelty reel, “The Wooden Soldier,” and the latest release of the specially compiled Metropolitan Topical Review. PALACE—"“The Woman From Moscow.” During Christmas week Loew’s Palace will present Pola Negri in “The Woman From Moscow,” & Paramount syn- chronized picture with a musical score and sound effects. Norman Kerry sup- ports Miss Negri in her latest vehicle, which was adapted from the story of Victorien Sardou and directed by the famous Ludvig Berger. ‘The story has a sophisticated Euro- pean flavor, telling of a Russian prin- cess who goes to Paris to trap the mur- derer of her flance, only to meet him as a stranger and fall in love with him. Miss Negri’s stunning gowns alone are said to be modes that any woman might envy. The picture has been given rich settings in the Russian and Parisian episodes. On the stage Loew Publix will pre- rent a Paul Oscard production, “Topsy Turvy Town,” featuring Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators, Perry Cor- wey, Ford and Whitey, the Phelps Twins and the Gamby-Hale Girls. Colby Harriman, managing director, is planning a number of novelties with which to augment the Christmas week program. In addition there will be the M-G-M News, the Fox Movietone News and selected short subjects. FOX—“Prep and = With the youngsters from 6 to 60 in mind, the Fox next week offers a spe- clally designed scrcen and stage pro- gram, the former headed by a William Fox sound picture, “Prep and Pep,” wherein youth goes out to prepare for life’s battles at a prep school. The cast has practically the entire Fox staff of youthful stars, with Nancy Drexel, but last weck selected by the famed Hollywood group of press agents, the Wampas, as the outstanding “baby star” of the year. On the stage will be “The Circus.” Here will be found all the thrills of the big top—the ringmaster, the barkers, the acrobats, the clowns and every- thing that goes to make the circus an American institution.

This week also marks the return, in response to popular demand, of Mary Read’s Sixteen Fox .Tillerettes, the group of precision dancers. that scored for many weeks at the Fox. Leon Brusiloff has arranged a special overture of Christmas carols,” while “Holy Night,” almost the “national” Christmas carol, will be sung from the stage. The Fox Movietone News will round out the program. COLUMBIA—“A Woman of Affairs.” John Gilbert and Greta Garbo are featured in “A Woman of Affairs” which opens at Loew’s Columbia Satur- day. It is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, synchronized with sound, from a story by Michael Arlen, and was di- rected by Clarence Brown, who, it will the [be recalled, also guided the two stars Devil.” through “Flesh and the . The cast includes Lewis Stone, John Mack Brown, Doutlas Fairbanks, jr.; Hobart Bosworth and Dorothy Sebas- tian, Gilbert as Neville Holderness has many opportunities for emotional love scenes in the new picture. Diana Mer- played by Miss Garbo, passes through the pictu:: as a tragic, pas- sionate and misunderstood character. Vincent Lopez, well known jazz o chestra_leader, will be presented in Metro Movietone act as an added at- traction. There will be a Metro Movie- tone revue, a novelty bill, comprising & variety of acts by well known talent; the Fox Movietone News, M-G-M News and orchestra and organ features, to augment the Yuletide bill.

In the cast are Neil Hamilton as a star reporter, Willlam Austin as the soclety editor, Charles Sellon as the editor and Wheeler Oakman as the villain gangster. “What a Night” is one of those rare pictures which give an audience everything in a short space of time, but gives everything entertain- ingly well. ‘The supplementary attractions will in- clude Vitaphone short-reel subjects, the first all-talking comedy, “The Lion's Roar,” produced by Mack Sennett; the latest issue of the Earle Topical Re- view and musical accompaniment for the pictured screen subjects by the augmented Earle Orchestra, with Alex Podnos conducting. in for estimate. 710 12th St. N.

LITTLE THEATER—"Prince Potemkin.” A picture_which, in the opinion of the Motion Picture Guild, cannot lightly be dismissed from its claim to being the greatest picture, “The Armored Cruiser Prince Potemkin,” will be the Little Theater attraction this week. Douglas Fairbanks, Max_ Reinhardt, Fannie Hurst and Emil Jannings are also said to hold this_opinion. Made in Russia under the direction of S. M. Eisenstein, with the Moscow Art Theater Players in the important roles, telling a simple story, the film is world famous. Its return is in answer to many requests. And to make this one of the most effective programs it has ever shown, “Potemkin” Will be accompanied by what is said to be the first Russian comedy to be shown in this country, " a brilliant satire.
