A—10 ANTHU. S. TREATY DENIALS ATTACKED Probe Relating to British Mission to Brazil in 1918 Is Asked. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, February 16.—Investi- gation of the assertion that there were no documents in the secret archives of the State Department relating to the British mission of Sir Maurice de Bun- sen to Brazil in 1918 was asked yester- day by George Henry Payne in & letter | From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Strictly Dishonorable” Naughty, Maybe, but Amusing. HEY don’t make better come- dies than “Strictly Dishonor- able.” In fact, of its kind— which is a breezy, saucy, so- phisticated kind, full of laughs that would have frozen with horror the mutton-sleeve age—this is & masterplece.

Flobelle Fairbanks, who plays the role of the girl, although buttering her Southern accent a trifiz thickly, is m most engaging person, and one ideally_equipped for the task before her. Of the others, the best, per- haps, is Lee Baker as the judge, who alternately settles and unsettles everything. Lino Manzoni, the im- petuous but merciless lover, is also remarkably good at times, as are Jerome Daley in the role of the policeman who doesn't know the STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Three ships that were beached remained ashore, and the crew of the Beauty St. Joseph, fish- ing smack, which was sunk off Cape Henry Saturday night, was brought ashore. The steamer Fort Armstrong was still hard aground near Cape Lookout, with the Coast Guard cutter Carrabaisette standing by with a line aboard to make a second attempt early last night to 1931, aground near Dam Neck, badly battered by the seas, but probably still worth saving.

MELCHER. Newman on “Switzerland” At the National Yesterday. E M. NEWMAN, lecturer and & most interesting talker, yester- day travel-talked with a large audience through Switzerland, the land of the Alps and famous for its ‘Winter sports. Arriving in the Engadine, on the side of Switzerland nearest Germany and Oberammergau, which was cov- ered by Mr. Newman's lecture last week, we first got a view of the entrancing scenery and the majestic grandeur of the Swiss Alps. Next we stopped at St. Moritz, known to all Americans for its Winter sports, skating, toboganning and skiing. Outstanding and most interesting perhaps in the travel-talk of yes- terday was a visit to Basel, a very small’ village, especially interesting because Yehudi Menuhin, the child violinist, was at this time studying there. Mr. Newman showed a very interesting motion picture of this famous 14-year-old boy, first, in the garden playing with his two sisters and a little dog, just as any other boy of his age might, and then was shown the house where this boy played his violin, Mr. Newman call- ing attention to the expression on his face as he played. During ‘the second part of the travelogue we were taken to the Mountain of St. Bernard, whence & famous, ponderous dog derived its name, and to the monastery nest- ling on the side of this mountain. Here were shown motion pictures of When the well meaning judge says the monks and dogs saving a mah's to the girl, finding her in the apait- life.

Payne, in a recent book “England— Her Treatment of America,” charged that the De Bunsen Mission attempted 1o negotiate a treaty with Brazil hostile to interests of the United States. Statement Denied. De Bunsen and John Barrett, who at the time was head of the Pan-American Union in Washington, denied the truth of the statement, Barrett said he was | fully informed of the activities of the | British mission. In his letter to Borah, Payne said: “May I call your attention to the fact that a representative of the State De- partment is quoted in an important New York paper as saying that there are in the State Department no evi- dences or_documents of the anti-Amer- ican de Bunsen treaty which I have publicly charged was being negotiated with Brazil in 1918 when we were an ally of Great Britain. It is true that Sir Maurice de Bunsen has, in an evasive and not entirely frank state- ment, said that he knew nothing of such a treaty, but his statement, on| any kind of justice to the original. @nalysis, really denies nothing.” | It concerns the impetuous romance Says U.

Much has been said as to why this Preston Sturges comedy is so successful. Great minds are said to have guffawed over its naughtiness. Lesser minds have been more or less unstrung by its precociousness. But whether it unsettles or unbends or merely entertains, it is certainly one of those all too rare evenings in the theater which one feels is entirely justifiable. And the entire family may view it without mishap, since its ingenious “sophistication” is_palatable to all ages—after the ABC years have been reached.
