S. By the Associated Press. | LOUISVILLE. Ky. May 3.—Having | sweepingly celebrated the tenth anni- versary of suffrage, the League of Wom- | en Voters today neatly totaled its “legis- lative support” slate and started scat- tering to 45 States and Hawaii. | Way for today's passage of a resolu- { tion “heartily supporting” the treaties | which resulted from the London Naval | Disarmament Conference had _been | paved by a hard-won victory in behalt of national measures relating to such treaties. The league thus stands pledged to work, not only for the international | disarmament treaties, but also for such | legislation as national reduction through | cruiser bills. Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the | United States Children's Bureau. was present to hear the league’s vote of stanch support to her bureaw’s ad- ministration of the pending maternity and infancy act. The bill passed by the House and pending in the Senate, for parity of | women’s nationality and citizenship | with men's was indorsed for speedy passage “without hampering amend- | ments” in another resolution. Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court addressed the league, complimenting the members on the | national program and on work in the States. The election committee reported re- | election of Miss Belle Sherwin, presi- | dent, MUSI1C VIOLIN PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL. last evening, when Josef Kaspar pre- sented a violin program at the Masonic Auditorium which was well chosen and highly appreciated by a large and mu- sical audience. There were five soloists. The first movement of the Mendelssohn “Con- | certo” was played by Jean Westbrook: !the first movement of “The Symphony | Espagnole,” by Lalo, played by Paul Brightenberg; two movements of Saint- Saens’ “Concerto” by David Legum; the first movement of the d’Ambrosio “Con- | certo” by Milton Schwartz, and the first movement of the Brahms ‘“‘Concerto” {by Isaac Minovich. Every one of the and did it artistically. Perhaps the outstanding performance | Brahms “Concerto” and the “Concerto” | of D'Ambrosio, to which young Schwartz wrote his own cadenza. young men, scarcely out of their teens showed extraordinary talent and fine musicianship. There were several en- semble groups. The first was a bril- lian little caprice by Trouselle, which opened the program. The second was a Me Only With Thine Eyes,” “The Volga Boat Song” and MacDowell's “To a Wild Rose"—all arranged for four vio- lins and played effectively by Mary Parks_ Clements, Miriam Buchalter, Julia Robertson and Mr. Kaspar. Milton Schwartz also appeared as composer of a concerto for two' violins. | 1t is a melodious work in modern style and has some effective harmonies. This | was played by the young composer and | Isaac Minovich, and their ensemble was | near perfection. | The recital closed with the ever-fa- | vorite “Thais,” played by 40 young vio- | linists. Mr. Kasper brought out all the dramatic effects of that composition | and the players responded to every ges- | ture of his baton. The difficult task of accompanying for the evening was ably performed by Dora Minovich and Mrs. Alexander. The young Washingtonlans playing the Massenet number were: _Arthur Avignone, Minnie Balarsky, Priscilla Barrows, Bernadette Berard, Elizabeth Bernheimer, Leila Bolls, Harry Bralove, Paul Brightenberg, Miriam Buchalter, Helen Carter, Barbara Caton, Pauline Cather, Mary Park Clements, Margaret Compton, David Cooperstein, Gladys Cowsill, Gertrude Cowsill, Bernice Davis, Henry Davis, Theodore Epply, Helen Foster, Donald Langdon, Meyer Laskin, David' Legum, Hildur Lehn, William Leishear, Abraham Lynn, Isaac Mino- vich, Albert Pergament, Julia Robertson, william Rodier, Milton Schwartz, Marie Siegrist.

The auditorium of Trinity College was crowded to its limits with an au- dience that overflowed into the halls last night when the Caecilian concert was given by students, and received with warm appreciation. Every number had its due of hearty applause. No encores were allowed. The two groups participating were the Glee Club and the Eurydice Club. The officers of the former are Marga- ret Burke, president; Mildred Wolber, | vice president; Ruth' Dooley, secretary, and Alice Duggan, treasurer. The of- ficers of the Eurydice Club are Marie Keller, president: Mary Knapp, vice president; Dorothy Hayes, secretary, and Eleanor Hurley, treasurer. The conductor of the Glee Club is Malton Boyce, organist and choirmaster at St Matthew's Church. The conductor of the Eurydice Orchestra is Ludwig Manoly, head of orchestral groups in the local high schools. ‘The orchestra opened the program with a selection from Donizetti’s opera “La Favorita.” They closed the pro- gram with works by Drigo and Victor Herbert. The ensemble work was ad- mirable. The glee club gave two groups of charming, rarely heard songs, includinj ‘Ave Maria,” from Mendelssohn’s opera Lorely”; “You Ask Me for a Song.’ Henry Hadley; “Morning Wind,” Gena Branscombe; “Ashes of Roses,” by Har- vey Gaul, and “Nymphs and Fauns,” Bemberg-Matthews. The club was much praised for fine co-ordination in sing- ing the selections. Solo artists of the evening, each of whom was awarded keen attention and applause were Helene Beliveau, Marie Keller and Eileen Hogan The orchestra has 19 members and the glee club has 73 members. i Conference on Homeopathy Sponsored by Laymen’s League of America Foundation for Homeopathy Friday, May 9 Saturday, May 10 Forenoon, Afiernoon.~ Evening 1811 H St. N.W.

The Columbia Players, under the di- | rection of Miss Aurora Poston, pre- sented Stephen Phillips' “Herod” last night at the Wardman Park Theater. The final production on their theatri- cal calendar of the year proved to be a difficult one. Even the most seasoned | professionals might have had trouble with it. Last night's company, however. came through with flying colors. With | Robert D. Chace in the main role there was little that was wanting after the | first_uncertain moments. Life within Herod's palace seemed as complicated a state of existence as Mr. Phillips’ must have intended that it should be. As the program explained, “Herod the Great lives in the popular imagination | as little more than a_ suspicious and | jealous tyrant, known chiefly as ‘an in- stigator of atrocity and woe." “But the life of this Judean prince | was a tragedy, the tragedy of a heart- | broken and remorseful man.” And so, indeed, it seemed last night. For. after | killing his wife’s brother, and thereby | losing her love, then jealously turning against her, he found at the end that he was nothing more or less than a raving maniac, imagining that he could ! | summon once more his wife to him. | { The poetry of the piece suffered a | little through uncertainty of cues, but | | on the whole the players handled their parts with skill. Mr. Chace, who earl- | | fer in the season, did so well in “When | the Ship Goes Down,” portrayed Herod | with imagination, and Grace Meyer, as | | his luckless wife, played the part as it | should have been. Others in the cast | who distinguished themselves were Helen Burton, Edith Dresden and Paul | Alexander. Esther Cloyd, as the sing- | | ing minstrel, added. furthermore, a good | bit to the evening's entertainment, as | did_the Katheryn Dunkhorst Dancers | | In Oriental dances. $1,000 FUND IS RAISED FOR RELIEF OF LEPERS.

's successful musical ‘Hold Everything,"has been revamped, recast and— thanks to Winnie Lightner and Joe E. Brown's cavernous jaws—has been allowed to emerge as a good old film laughfest. In fact, once firmly established on what seemed at first to be somewhat wob- bling feet, this current feature. at Warner's Metro- politan proceeds with fast and furiously funny restilts. The comic fight- scene in it is one of the “Eu- rekas!” of cin- ema history. The grand music that was part and parcel of the original production, however, has been handled disappointingly, Georges Carpen- tier proving him- self a better fighter than a singer, and the comedy which Bert Lahr (now of “Flying High” fame) injects is not so funny when appro- priated by Mr. Brown. However, the latter has some improvisations of his own which couldn't possibly be improved upon, and the fight scene, as eulogized above. is unique. The romantic theme of the story, which is a slight peg to hang a production on, has been wisely sub- merged by allowing Joe Brown to do double portions of clowning. and Winnie Lightner to sing 2s much as possible. Once upon a time, 5o goes the tender fable, there was a young fighter who was prepared to beat the lightweight world champion by outpointing him instead of hit- ting him firmly on the jaw. Called “a cream-puff boxer” by a sage paper, this young buck at the last moment, against the advice of his trainer, leaps into the breach, so to speak, and thus lays his opponent low, to the delight of his girl friend, who had advocated such a deed. All of which sounds like a fairly thin yarn. Still, the best of the story concerns the efforts of the “Waterfront Terror” (or “terrier,” as Mr. Brown calls himself) to vanquish his opponent, after going through a series of reducing sequences to get down to the proper weight. These sequences, with the help of Bert Roach and Miss Lightner, get fun- nier as they progress, until, with the fight, almost a limit of laughing has been reached. “Apart from the “Waterfront Ter- rior,” his girl friend Winnie and Bert Roach, the cast hasn't much to boast of. Georges Carpentier does some splendid fighting, but seems a sheer loss at anything else, and Sally O'Neil is Jost as the vapid heroine. However, the picture is we “A laugh a minuf exaggerated estimate in this case.

But out of its wild-west soul emerges a face and figure that belong to Harry Green, who is responsible for making the picture what it is. No fraction of an inch of the shots that have to do with this_absurd person haven't got a laugh. He is, to be plain, uproarious. Without Mr. Green, this picture would be like hundreds of others that are playing in small towns to the tintinabulations of century-old pianos. It has a girl from the East who inherits a ranch after the “foul” death of her brother, and comes there to live. It has a cowboy who falls in love with her, and kisses her rudely. even before that. And it has a villain, who has robbed the dead brother of some money. so that he can buy the ranch in which the fair “heroyne” has settled. There are besides the usual Zane Grey hoofbeats, scowls, cigars and a fight at the end, which has no suspense whatsoever. Nevertheless, the whole thing manages to be pretty amusing. Harry Green is the star, Mary Brian, look- ing lovelier than ever, is the attrac- tive lady in question, and Richard Arlen plays the part of the Romeo cowboy with little conviction outside of youthful enthusiasm. ‘The remainder of the program is devoted to the Earle Orchestra, Eddie Buzzell in a comedy and the Pathe and Paramount news_reels. —E. de 8.
