By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST, March 1.—Hungary to- | day celebrated the tenth anniversary of | the Regent Nicholas Horthy's election to his high office by the National As- sembly. In accordance with his wish no brit- lant festivities marked the celebration.

Before he was called upon to take part in state affairs he had reached the highest rank in the | Austro-Hungarian Navy, in which he | was considered among the ablest com- manders. During the World War he distinguished himself by his daring raids against Italian warships and ports and he was severely wounded at the battle of Otranto. It was a sore blow ntry’s economic g sports and to him when he was ordered to hand | over the entire Austro-Hungarian fleet | to the Serbians in October, 1918. | , 10 Years as Regent ETHEL BARRYMORE 1S GIVEN OVATION |Responds to Toast at Celeb- | rity Breakfast as Guest of | American Pen Women. | | A tremendous ovation was accorded | | Ethel Barrymore when she greeted the | members of the National League of American Pen Women yesterday at the nith and last of the series of celebrity breaktasts at the Willard Hotel. |~ Responding to a toast, Miss Barry- more rezd two poems, ““Ihe West Wind,” | by John Masefield, and “The Kiss,” by Sara Teasdale. During the course of the meal she was bombarded with re- quests for her autograph and follow- ing the breakfast, held an informal re- ception to greet the many who crowded about her. She was gowned in a most | becoming ensemble of Chanel red, the | coat trimmed with deep collar and cuffs of gray fur. Among the other celebrities who par- | ticipated in the program were Sir Archibald Flower, chairman of the | | board of governors of the Shakespeare | Memorial ~ Theater at Stratford-on- | Avon, who talked on “Stratford and | the Shakespearean Players”; Dr. Wil- liam Allen Wilbur of George Washing- ;tan University, who gave an interest- ADMIRAL NICHOLAS HORTHY.

The Community Drama Guild pre- sented “The Honey-Moon™ last night at | the McKinley Auditorium with a fmesse | that must have won the admirstion of the most critical playgoer. Advertised | years ago,” it managed to live up to its billing in’every conceivable respect. It was more than “delightful” it was, positively scintillating and succeeded in providing the audience with an evening's that the professional stage might have envied. This play, which originally had its troubles on account of its similitude to | Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,” was fashioned by John Tobin early in | the nineteenth century—and seems to| s an | power of love to conquer the proud, the | scornful and the unwise. It tells of | the plot of a fabulous duke, who, feign- | ' ing himself to be nothing but an im- poster, shortly after his marrisge to a lady of high birth and temper reveals this to her and then proceeds to mould | her into a passive, sweet and eventually obliging wife. Along with the unravel- ing of his matrimonial tempests runs | Duke’s _two to woo with distinction, while the other him suggestive of something worse than the plague. That they at last find solace in the arms of their ideals is a preconceived conclusion that still man- ages to be vastly entertaining. The actors, under the experienced and extremely gifted polishing of Miss Alma Kruger. a_member of the New York Civic Repertory Theater, played their parts with a devotion to their lines that was short of marvelous. A difficult play, in every sense of the word, there was scarcely a member of the cast that didn’t seem to be at ease throughout the performance. Furthermore every one was obviously having a good time— duke, spoke his lines with a profes- sional enthusiasm that made the part distinctive and real. Although he suf- fered slightly from a pendulum-like movement of his right hand, most of his gestures were accomplished with ap- parent ease and much grace. In the more comic moments Mrs. Mattingly as the rotund hostess gave a laugh that should have been heard around the world. Jeanette Seiler is about the only lady on record who can look con- vincingly like a boy, and the neo-duke | was just about perfect. Others in the cast included Walter E. Thorpe, Martin Scranage, Charles Farrar, Paul Graves, George Odell, Harold Norton, George W. Davis, George W. Gates and Philip Notes. The lighting and the simple yet charmingly effective scenery (inciuding one of the most engaging tapestries ever “fabricated” for the stage) brought forth continual applause. Not a scene passed —and there were 15—that didn't de- light the eye as well as the ear. All of which goes to prove that the guild did itself proud and presented a play that was not only genial and amusing but also made of the stuff that, being rare today, is commonly known as E. de 8.
