THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929. (] . 7 W BEAL'S TESTIMONY BACKED ON STAND Wife of Another Defendant Denies He Told Picketers to Enter Mills. By the Associated Press, CHARLOTTE, N. C., October 15.— Reinforcement of testimony of Fred SHUBERT-BELASCO—*"Stripped.” The combination of a mystery plot and a troubled domestic situation pro- vide the rather clumsy framework for “Stripped,” a riew play by Jane Murfin, with Lionel Atwill in the leading role, which opened at the Belasco last night. Austin Goodwin, junior member of a | Z, firm of hwmezen. and his wife are ap- roaching of the ways, due ptn a ing temperamental incom- patibility. The husband has been intrusted with the crown diamonds of a mythical kingdom of Eastern Europe and bonded by the wife's uncle. He sells the jewels and is gloating over his secret agent of the mewly established “people’s government” of Georgia ant afterward that he is the agent of the real crown prince. The plot is a topsy-turvy mystery, which does not hold the interest con- sistently. Lionel Atwill as M. Lazov gives an_excellent characterization of the exiled playboy of Graustarkian roy- alty, and Jessie Royce Landis as Caro- line, wife of Austin Goodwin, shares with him the credit for whatever suc- cess is achieved by this play. The part of Helen Galli, varping adventuress, is excellently taken by Thelma Hard- . But perhaps the most realistic figure is that of M. Orlando, faithless confidant of the prince, a military fig- ure of the old school, played by Mar] Majeroni. J. H. Brewer appears in the role of butler and Christine Compton as the prince’s housekeeper, who later turns out to be his mother. Charles Millward, as Caroline’s uncle, portrays “ MAY ORDER NAVY AGETO SEA DUTY | Lieut. Williams’ Status Now Being Considered by As- sistant Secretary Ingalls. Lieut. Alford J.

Even rubber heels and soles are made in International’s own plant, which has more than doubled the wear while lower- ing the cost of production. And to reduce the cost of distribution, International even makes the boxes which hold the shoes and the cases in which they are shipped. By concentrating this production of materials within one organization, Inter- national not only insuressgreater quality and wear in its shoes, but produces that quality at a saving of millions of dollars a year compared with buying the materials in the open market. It has definitely lowered the cost of producing quality footwear. You Teap the benefit in the form of greater shoe value—lower prices for International Shoes than for other shoes of like quality. Such unusual value is the outstanding characteristic of every International Shoe —whether it’s to stand the expert abuse of a growing boy or the critical eye of fashion.
