EXECUTIVE ASKS TENNESSEE PROBE Demands Ofncnals’ Removal‘ if Found Guilty Bank Failures. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Ten., January 8.—De- ®laring that the “honor of the State requires prompt and courageous action,” Gov. Henry H. Horton called upon the Wennessee Legislature today for a| *searching investigation” of State af-| fairs, with particular reference to the | deposit of millions of public funds in' elosed banks. “It has been charged in mass meet- ings and in the public press.” he said, | “that practically every official in the | State, including the governor and his| appointees, the officials elected by the general assembly and the boards created under the laws of the State, have been faithless and corrupt. “No man guilty of the charges should be permitted to hold office. Every man guilty of betrayal of his trust, however exalted his position, should be exposed, condemned and removed from office and if he has violated any laws he! should be punished in the criminal! ecourts of the State “If, on the other hand, the fesult | of an honest investigation should show that any public State official has been slandered. the traducers of such an official should stand condemned by all fair minded people of Tennessee as slanderers. If honest men and women | have been deceived into making unjust | charges against honest officials, their remorse will be punishment enough. If | the facts show that there are those who have maliciously slandered honest offi- cials, the contempt of mankind will be punishment. enough for them.” The governor recommended appoint- | ment of a committee or committees | with power to employ expert account- ants, to summon and examine witnesses and “any other power which will be helpful.” Above all things, there should be no litical investigation, no whitewash- ;?g no persecution,” he said.

From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. Clever Comedy At the National. THE new George Kelly play, “Philip Goes Forth,” which made its Washington debut at the National last night, is a cheerful warning to arty folk to go about their father's business. The play is light and amusing and full of nonsense and at the same time is a sturdy preach- ment against the romanticism that is meant to attach itself to the writ- ing of a play. Mr. Kelly has ripped the glamour off would-be Greenwich villageites, who spend their lives striving for self expression when they have nothing to express. He has drawn adolescent yearnings for printed fame with such acuteness that one surmises that the author —before he reached the heights as a bearer of the Pulitzer banner—perhaps underwent many of the play’s agonies himself. If there be parents in and around this city whose son and heir is smit- ten with the fever of playwrighting, when he I fitted only for his father’s shoe business, he and they should be forced to witness what s on under the smiling hood of this new play. Its merits have to do not only with revealing that probably every other young man of the world at one time or another been convinced that he could write a play—and a good one—but also that most of these young men have eventually A&wakened to the fact that their talent was a plea only for living & more leisurely life and thus riding themselves of the shackles of business “9 to 5s.” | | The result of all this Mr. Kelly has painted with a palette that has irony in it as well as comedy. To thrust his point home more force- fully he has assembled a group of oddities under a boarding-house roof, killed off the most peculiar of them and dwelled especially on an Ophelia-like lady, who is the only one among them who has any “talent,” and is at the same time moderately insane. When “Philip goes forth” in a storm of rebellion from his fatker's home to do the thlng he wants, he lands in the midst of this conglom- eration of human flotsam and jet- sam. Instead, however, of succumb- ing to their lure, he suddenly wakes up to himself and goes back to the family & nobler and wiser son. All this is done with remarkable lucidity by Harry Ellerbe in the role of the moon-struck boy. Mr. Ellerbe . —8& newcomer—is so good that.one. wonders if Glenn Hunter in the erst- while perfection of his adolescent moments could have been better. Dorothy Stickney, too, in the role of the slightly mad lady, although only visible spasmodically, makes her part highly important. And the others, including Marion Barney’s authentic portrait of an erstwhile star of the stage turned boarding house keeper, Cora Witherspoon’s caricature of a comedy role, Thais Lawton making an aunt seem hu- man for a change, and Harry Gresh- am plotting & “fantasy,” add the necessary touches to a play that is full of the best—and is urgently rec- ommended for anybody’s consump- tion. de 8. M. Rich’s Semi-Annual CLEARANCE SALE WOMEN'S & CHILDREN’S FOOTWEAR KIDNAPED IN AUTO. Ex-Wife of Film Comedian, With Georges Carpentier, Robbed of $14,000. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 8—The kid- naping of Lita Grey Chaplin and Georges Carpentier as they left a the- ater puzzled the police today. Mrs. Chaplin said she was robbed of money and jewels. Chaplin, and the one-time heavyweight champion of Europe told the police they were imprisoned in her limousine by four armed men, driven more than a mile and dumped out last night. Mrs. Chaplin said she lost $14,000 in jewelry. As related by detectives, Carpentier, met the actress at a Bronx playhouse at the close of her appearance and they entered her car in a dark alley near the | stage door. Two men, appearing out of the gloom, pressed revolvers against | the chauffeur, Albert Frank, as he stood beside the car and two more cowed the occupants of the tonneau. Frank then was forced inside and one of the hold- up men drove away rapidly. During the ride Mrs. Chaplin was | ordered to remove her gems. She also opened her pocketbook and | handed over the contents, $15. The victims were ordered into the street near an unlighted corner and their assailants sped away in the stolen car. Mrs. Chaplin and Carpentier took a taxicab to their hotels and Frank went to & police station to report the crime. Six hours later the automobile was recovered by police three blocks from where the occupants were forced out | Carpentier sald he had $30 cash, but | this was not taken, and he was mnot | asked for money. Nor was the chauf- feur robbed or harmed.
