LEGHORN, Italy, May 10 (#).—This thriving seaport tomorrow will echo with music of military bands, with patriotic speeches and other noises de- noting rejoicing. For Leghorn makes its own public holiday every May 11, to celebrate the city's heroic resistance in 1849 to the besieging Austrian army of 20,000 men, led by Gen. D’Aspre. This year's celebration will be even tiore enthusiastic because it is on. the eve of & visit by Premier Mussolini. NDAY From the Front Row ‘ Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “The Cuckons” Justifies' Its Title. HAT price laughs! is_the motto this week at R-K-O Keith’s, where “The Cuckoos” is holding forth as the lightest, most in- sane production of the pre-Summer season. Thanks to, the tireless ef- forts of Berd! e Wheeler an T Robert Woclsey, € the laughs are often more than ustified. and ith the added omic “gags” of “obyna Howland nis rejuvenated reen adapta- icn of the nusical comedy The Ramblers” cares well nough as tonic or a sweltering cvening, The plot 1is rather mixed up with society la- died, gypsies and the spirit of mad- ness. It has the merit, just the same, of never taking itself seriously. Fur- thermore, it has somewhere, mgore or I>ss in the middle of it, a most per- sonable young lady by the name of Dorothy Lee, who seems to have & delightfully acut owledge as to what to do with her eyes and how . to appeal to the observant She and the funmakers are it the most important appen- dages to this otherwise routine musical farce, although Marguerite Padula sings “blues” number with much spirit. What would happen if a gypsy camp seftled itself next door to a night club somewhere in Mexico is the profound text out of which grows this amusing tale. Through it all run Wheeler and Wroolsey, growing wilder as they progress, until the scene where one of the twain dreszes himself up as a gyp- sy wanton reaches just about a laugh climax. These two through- out are as amazingly ridiculous as anybody could be. Their picture seated on a horse bound for the gypsy camp should be enshrined in_the Hollywood comedy museum. . Besldes the feature picture the ~-K-Olians play tunes from “Strike Up the Band” and the Pathe Review and newsreel complete the program. E. De S M. Marguerite Padula. “The Golden Calf” Amusing Little Comedy. A MILDLY funny, light-hearted comedy, “The Golden Calf,” entirely lacking in daring or thrills, despite the effort to color it a Eit with the naughty in its advertise- ment, 1s the feature this week at the Fox. El Brendel, Marjorie White, Sue Carol and Jack Mulhall have the leading roles. Althcugh “The Golden Calf” sup- posedly is a tale glorifying feminine underpinnings commonly called legs, it is in reality a story which proves the adage that ‘“clothes make the man” (or the woman). Briefly, it concerns a young com- mercial artist who is seeking a model of perfect proportions to use in an advertisement for silk stockings. He advertises, and is deluged with an- swers from those believing them- selves possessors of perfect props. None, however, fulfills the require- ments. The unexpected occurs when his bespectacled, prim and proper ittle secretary, utterly lacking in feminine lure, through her secret love for her employer, allows a world- ly young friend to “make her up” in soft, clinging clothes, discard the horn-rimmed glasses, give her a facial and send her back to her em- ployer as a “silk stocking” model. Through the transformation the artist fails to recognize his secretary, and upon taking her measurements finds her perfectly proportioned. She is engaged as model for his fa- mous advertisement, and before the drawing is finished the artist finds himself in love with the girl, who as & commonplace secretary had never attracted his attention. The romance has a happy climax. Miss. Carol, pretty to.look at, and a clever actress, is disappointing when she talks. Marjorie White, who is really quite funny, would be even more 50 if she acted more and spoke less. At first one is under the im- pression that the nasal whine is the result of poor sound reproduction, but a realization of the truth soon dawns. However, “The Golden Calf” in- troduces some humorous scenes with El Brendel, and some gay songs and dancing, which, though not catchy, are pleasing and entertainhing. A delightful revival of Irish songs, an “Idea in Green,” proves to be one of the most attractive vaudeville numbers offered in some time. stimulating, lively Irish jig makes & refreshing change from the usual terpsichorean jazz number. - ‘Artists featured on the Fox stage this week are Born and Lawrence, Moran and Weston, Franklyn Record, Way Watts and Arminda, Doris Nierly and a chorus of Sunkist dancing girls. Alexandria Callam is master of cere- monies. The Fox Movietone News completes the program. G.8.8. “In Gay Madrid” Happens in Santiago. **JN GAY MADRID" takes place in Santiago—otherwise it's a grand movie that should appeal especial- 1y to romantically disposed females rlh'k) have pined many years without Juck. Ramon Ncvarro has something of a sense of humor about him that keeps his pictures from dropping into the “drooling” class, and in this one he proves that balconies, guitars and serenades are as effective as they were in the days of the Montagues and Capulets. In other words this week’s film at Loew's Palace is suggested to anybody who has a soft spot for an imaginative and totally incredible love story. Playing opposite Ramon is Doro- thy Jordan, who should be immedi- ately brought to this part of the country and given an apple fete, in honor of her being able to look and act the perfect heroine. Her part is indeed so perilously near the sit- and-giggle type that were it not for her gentle and believable manner- isms she would easily fall into complete vapidness. As it is, she is remarkably easy to rest one's eyes upon and is at fault only when she is not on the screen. Ramon, in this instance, is the son of a proud Spanizh family, who gets himself all tangled up with a singer, and is therefore ordered by his understanding parent to finish his college education elsewhere. In this elsewhere, which happens to be Santiago, is the lovely daughter of an old friend of his father's, whom Ramon immediately tries to annex, with the same skill that has marked his other conquests. 1In this case, however, the lady isn't won so easily —and so, before she finally becomes his own (which is really giving the plot away), he has to do a lot of singing and hting, and generally to prove that isn't such a con- e two leading players being ex- cellent, there is perhaps only‘ one other particular note, and that is Beryl Mercer, who still comes to mind for her characterization in “Seven Days' Leave." The stage show, under the clever manipulations of Dave Apollon as master-of-ceremontes, is bright and entertaining. Under the title, “Rus- sianties,” this miniature “Chauve Souris” boasts the services gof such performers as Danzi Goode¥l, Betsy Recse—a most extraordinarily good toe dancer—Byrnes Swanson and the Royal Philipino Orchestra. The Hearst Metrotone News and the Palace Orchestra complete a fine program. E. de 5. M. “The Divorcee” Has Popular Approval. "THE screen version of “Ex-wife,” cautiously referred to as “from a novel by Ursula Parott,” goes on its very successful way at the Co- lumbia for a second week, where the . turbulent marital career of “The Divorcee” is attracting the at- tention of vast throngs, who are be- ing treated to some very fine act- ing. Indeed, Norma Shearer con- ducts herself very much in the manner of Ruth Chatterton (which is the highest known praise around these parts), and she is ably sup- ported by Chester Morris and Rob- ert Montgomery, in smaller, but equelly convincing roles. Whether or not the subject of man’s fidelity to woman and wom- an’s ability to “balance the ac- count,” when it fails, deserves the concentration of so much fine talent is a question. Certainly the theme is far from original. Yet somehow there is so much of interest in the earlier sequences of this film, that one is inclined to forget that it has been done over and over again be- fore. Later on, perhaps, as the plot dwindles, one could wish for less demonstration of how the “ex-wife” comports herself after her husband has left her. The , of course, doesn't unite the two in a happy ending. Still, these are minor de- partures for the benefit of a happy public, and since the public appears to enjoy them, some sort of a mil- lennium seems to have been reached. Too great praise cannot.be be- stowed upon Norma Shearer’s per- formance. She is rapidly becoming one of the most important of the screen's actresses. Chester Morrls, too, in a less “tough” role than is his wont, proves that he is among the recent luminaries of Holly- wood who will not easily be snuffed out. Robert Montgomery is amus- ing as the man who helps “balance the account.” As a postscript it should be sald that the motor ac- cident, as reproduced in one of the first scenes, should be shown to any one who has a desire to drive a car when “under the influence.” Laurel and Hardy are as funny as ever in a comedy called “Man o’ War,” and the Columbia Orchestra and a Metrotone newsreel complete the bill. E.de 8. M. CHORUS ATTRACTS CAPACITY AUDIENCE 150 Washington Singers Give Outstanding Music Week Program. A chorus of 150 Washington singers presented the outstanding program in honor of National Music week in the National Capital yesterday afternoon. Organized under the auspices of the Washington Choral Festival Associa- tion, this chorus attracted an audience that filled Epiphany Episcopal €hurch to its capacity. The conductor was Dr. Prederick Alexander, generally recog- nized as one of the leading choral con- ductors of the country. Dr. Alexander led a similar chorus in a program here last May. The present group showed thorough drilling and co-ordination for artistic effects yesterday. Due to the dignity of the surroundings and the sacred type of music_presented, there was no ap- plause. It was obvious, however, t the large audience keenly appreciated and enjoyed the music and many ex- pressions of satisfaction were heard out- side the church following the program. Also, the brevity of the pre , coming music” designated on the program, music” designated on the programs, was a pleasing innovation at this time of year. The lack of quantity in no way lessened the excellence of the quality of the music presented. ‘This was a most auspicious beginning for the newly organized Washington Choral Festival Association, which has as its joint sponsors three of the most important organizations in the interest of music in the city. They are the Music Council of the Federation of Churches, the Federation of Music Clubs and the Friends of Music in the Library of Congress, Two short and lovely Palestrina selec- tions were first sung by the chorus. They were “Adoramus Te” and “Gloria Patri.” Both . were beautifully done, emphasizing the control of nicely blend- ed voices in soft passages of song. Per- haps most effective of all the choral selections was the “Gospodi Pomilui,” a chant by Lvovsky, in which the sustain- ing of even tempos while building tonal- ly to a gradual loud climax after an extremely pianissimo beginning, was the dominant feature. The group of the inner choir, desig- nated as Madrigal singers of the festi- val association, was especially noticed in the “Only Begotten Son” of Gretchani- nov. Anothc: less familiar composer, also Russian, Tschesnokov, was repre- sented by the composition “The Thief fon the Cross.” The famous Gounod chorus, “By Babylon's Wave,” was the finale. This number also formed the | finale of last year's program. Dr. Alexander presented it again, conform- ing to his plan, which has proved suc- 1 cessful elsewhere, of bringing each sea- |son one number from the preceding | year's program, thus building solidly for the eventual repertoire. All choral numbers were sung a capella. | .;Adolf Torovsky, organist of Tpiphan | Church, opened the program Wwitl | Bach's “Toccata and Fugue in D i Minor,” which he played very well, in- | ; deed, with fine discrimination in tone | color and smoothness in transition from | toccata into announcement of the first | fugue voice and the contrapuntal de- i velopment. Later Mr. Torovsky played | @ less interesting “Marche Triumphant,” by Karg-Elert. At the conclusion the audience dis- ' persed quietly, but with an air_of | pleasant-enjoyment. H F.

BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Harnessing the sciences of the mind and religion was discussed by clergy- men, psychologists and physicians at the closing session of the World Con- gress on Mental Hygiene here yesterday. The psychoanalysis of religious ex- perience was presented by Dr. Oscar Pfister, noted Swiss clergyman and psychoanalist. Religion, he maintained, is indispensable for preservation of men- tal health, although abnormal emotional | i conditions may find their expression in religious behavior. Dr. Paul Hanley Furfey of Catholic University, howeyer, insisted that re- ligion and mental hygiene should not be confused—the one being a “way of life” and the other a technique for treatment of the sick—but that religion welcomes to her aid all means of relieving human suffering, Dr. Elliot Speaks. Dr. Harrison Elliot, professor of psychology at Union Theological Sem- inary, welcomed the ghanges in the con- cepts of sin and dependence on a super- natural protector which are being brought about by a study of the mechan- isms of the mind. Dr. Meyer Solomon, Chicago psychi- atrist, questioned' whether the old re- ligions could be adapted to the needs of & new age trying to work out the full- ness of human happiness in the present world rather than projecting it into an unknown future, While he considered religion an in- valuable aid to mental health, Dr. Pfister declared that there are certain pathological manifestations which are the equivalent of neurotic symptoms arising out of conflicts in the indivi- dual, but which are not recognized as such at the time because they afflict great numbers of persons. Such, he said, “are the trials of witches, the cruelties of the inquisition, collection hallucinations and end-of-the-world deliriums. Can Accelerate Mental Ill-Health, ““Certain forms of religion can cause and accelerate mental ill-health. This is always the case when the instincts are held as suspect or dismissed with no acknowledgment of their.moral and religious worth, when the striving after knowledge is fettered by dogmas, when moral activity is cut short by expecta- tion of the near end of the-world, and when the will to rise above dogmatic overvaluation of the world to come.” On the other hand. declared Dr. Pfister, “religion is able to render harm- less dangerous conflicts, and often does so. It mitigates inner tension which otherwise might prove unbearable, “Through religion, those who are dis- satisfied with their day-by-day existence receive a relative satisfaction of their longing for a fuller life, happiness and higher values. Religion diminishes the pathogenic danger further by indirect wish fulfillment, as when the notion of divine punishment replaces a forbidden act of human revenge, by consoling and Frornlsmg hopes, and by substituting ideal compensations for the egotistical and harsh dealings of every-day life. . “Religion’s challenge to moral ac- tivity keeps the psychic energies an- chored in reality and makes the escape into neurosis more difficult. “All neuroses and psychoses contain an element which is hostile to society and lead to a relative isolation of the individual. Through its social charac- ter, religion works against this kind of introversion.” Dr. Furfey Gives Views. Protesting the formulation of reli- glon in terms of the mental sciences, Dr. Furfey insisted that mental hy- giene could throw no light on such subjects as the reason for man's ex- istence, a law of absolute right and wrong, and life after death. These, he said, will always be the primary concerns of religion. The mental sciences will help reli- gion to formulate itself according to the needs of the day, getting it further away from the concept of “God, the Father,” upon whom one - can throw the burden of inadequacies and mis- deeds, as the child on the father of the family, said Dr. Elliot. Speaking before another meeting on se.; and civilization, the Union Theo- logical Seminary professor advocated encouraging marriages of men and women in profsssional schools and “possibly in collegss.” He protested against the attitude of parents who withdraw allowances from sons or daughters in school who get married, maintaining that they are ab’: to work better than when single. Dr. Solomon maintained that con- sideration of the psychological basis of the “God idea” makes the psychiatrist tolerant of all religions, but maintained the need of a new religious concept, which would have as its chief aim the living of life at its fullest and doing something in this world individually and socially good. Luncheon Closes Session. The closing meeting of the congress, at which 54 nations have been repre- sented, was the international luncheon at the Willard today, at which the rec- ommendations of the congress com- mittee were presented. One of these urged that jury trials on the issue of insanity for commit- ment be discontinued in all countries. Others advocated the establisment of mental hygiene clinics everywhere, clinies in prisons and psychiatrics ex- amination of all persons brought to trial, and that uniform international statistics regarding mental diseases be collected. 500 FELLOWSHIP CROWD IS RECORD Promotion of Unity Objective of Session — Bishop Freeman Speaks. Attended by a record number of 500 Convention of the Young People’s Fel- lowship of the Province of Washington positive fraternal unity in the organiza- at the Willard Hotel, when Bishop Free- man addressed the annual banquet. In afirming a dependent relationship Freeman declared, “the constant study of sclence has been in its basic sig- nificance nothing more than a_revela- tion of the infinity of God. We live in an age of marvels,” he concluded, “but no scientific miracle can approach the miraculous personal example of Jesus Christ.” ‘The morning session was featured by an address by Rev. B. J. Rudderow of the Holy Trinity Memorial Chapel, Phil- adelphia, who characterized the ma- terial and unleisurely character of American life as “cheap.” “It seems,” he declared, “that our social haste and ‘pep’ are making us for the con- struction of anything of enduring spirit- ual worth.” The address of Dr. Rudderow was preceded by a series of group confer- ences. These informal discussions are designed to effect an interchange of opinion on matters of church interest. Prominent speakers on the afternoon program were Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia and presentative Ruth Bryan Owen of Fl Church services at/St. Mark's Church this morning, conducted by Rev, H.

GERMANY SHIFTS DIPLOMATICPOSTS Starting at London and Rome | Shake-Up Will Extend to Other Capitals. BY DR. GUSTAV STOLPER. By Radio to The Btar. BERLIN, May 10.—A big shift now is under way in Germany's foreign serv- ice. It was to have been made during Gustav Stresemann’s time, but the for- eign minister, while ill, did not possess the energy to change the positions of his subordinates, and he was not at all cer- tain that he himself would not resign to take some Am| dor's post. This was the main reason why Dr. Stahmer, Ambassador to London, had to semain in his post, although he long had wanted to resign, for Dr. Strese- mann had an eye on London. Above all, the post of Secretary of State von Schubert, Dr. Stresemann's closest coworker, was already then in issue, and there was no real harmony between the two men. Von Schubert never achieved close relations with the Reichstag. Novice in Foreign Politics. ‘When Dr. Stresemann died and was succeeded as foreign minister by his friepd, Dr. Julius Curtius, the latter, who was a novice in foreign politics, could not immediately dispense with the services of the retary of state. But the necessary copfidence between Dr. Curtius and Von Schubert never came into existence. Von Schubert has now been replaced by Bernhard von Buelow. The new | secretary of state is the third Bern | hard von Buelow to hold an important | post in Germany's foreign service. His | grandfather was secretary of state in | the foreign office under Prince Bis- marck, and his uncle who recently died, was the Chancellor Prince von Buelow. The new secretary of state is a com- paratively young man and his appoint- ment came as a general surprise, for he was merely a councilor. Then hz steps over many others .in renk, which is unprecedented in the history of the foreign office. ~Von Buelow, who is | weil known in the United States, having been in the German embassy in Wash- ington before the war, is a thoroughly modern progressive. Von Schubert Goes to Rome. Dr. von Schubert is to go to Rome as Ambassador. He would have pre- ferred the London post, but he is re- garded as being too strongly Anglo- phile. Herr von Neurath, former Am- bassador to Rome, is slated for the London ambassadorship. This appoint- | ment may cause misgivings in England, “LITTLE MARINE” RAN AND RAN ’TIL CAPTAIN’S WIFE CALLS DOG General Order No. 1 Goes by Boards as Canine Pursues Sentry “Walking” Post. By the Ascoctated Press. LAKEHURST, N. J, May 10.—Gen- eral order, No. 1, of the armed forces of the United States as affecting guard duty says that a sentry must stay on his post and patrol it under all cir- cumstances “in a military manner"— but it doesn’t say anything about largs dogs with an appetite for members of the Marine Corps. A short and chubby Marine was pac- ing up and down in regulation manner behind the home of Capt. A. W. Pearce, executive officer of the Naval Awr Sta- tion. When the Pearce Belgian shep- herd, the kind popularly referred to as a “police dog,” slipped out of the house and began to bark at him. 1t was a dilemma for any Marine, for this was the captain’s dog. The Marine because Von Neurath has had intimate personal relations with Mussolini and is a conservative who sympathizes with Fascism. It is doubted whether he is elastic enough to adapt himself to the London atmosphere under a Labor government. The diplomatic shift is not ended with the new appointments at London and Rome. The embassies at Moscow, Angora, Warsaw and Tokio will prob- ably get new occupants in the next few months and there will also be extensive changes in the foreign office. Dr. von Dyckhoef, former councelor of the em- bassy at London and earlier at Wash- ington, who is a warm friend of America and a strong personality, is to become head of the Anglo-Saxon de- partment, which deals with Great Britain and the United States. All these sweeping changes indicate a new phase in German foreign policies with the going into effect of the Young plan, although the policies themselves, of course, will remain unchanged.

Occasionally he would roll along the ground for a bit, prob- ably to confuse the dog. An officer’s wife saw the commotion and telephoned Marine headquarters, Scouts were despatched, investiga- tions were begun, and general order, No. 1, was dusted off for immediate use. But by the time the sentry was to be marched to the guard house to give an account of himself, Mrs. Pearce had called off the dog. After due Inspection of the panting but otherwise unharmed Marine, the officer of the day wrote a brief 1eport l.l;\ hls book and ended it with “incident closed.” C. & 0. EQUIPMENT FUND GETS APPROVAL OF . C. C. Plans for Trust Issue for $24,800,- 000 of $30,000,000 Needed Are Sanctioned. By the Associated Press. Arrangements to finance the purchase of more than $30,000.000 worth of new equipment for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and affiliated systems, were ap- proved yesterday by the Interstate Com- merce Commission.
