STHSONHAS TASK | FORNAVALACCOR Miscion Is Held to Iron Out ¥rench and Italian Split Before Conference. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE.

The principal reason is the Hoover admin- istration’s anxiety for the success of the Geneva conference.

Definite Ratios Sought. 1t is recognized in Washington that unless and until France and Italy can be brought together on the matter of relative naval strength, the prospect of cneral disarmament” in Europe—the cobject of next year's conference—will remain clouded. The Italiahs have been demanding the same sort of parity at sea that the United States demanded— | 2nd received—{rom Great Britain at the London Naval Conference in 1930. France to date has stoutly resisted the Italians’ claims, insisting that Italy's necessity for sea power is not com- mensurate with French needs. As a result of the Henderson medi- ation in February the two countries came to an agreement of which the outstanding points were (1) the stabili- zation of the French and Italian fleets for the period of the ndon naval treaty (until December 31, 1936); (2 France was to retain a superiority Italy in battleships and submarin well as in older cruisers and destroyers, while in new construction to be com- pleted the tonnage of the two powers was to be approximately equal; and stion of “parity” was to be a declaration, to be signed ritain, Italy and France or else by all the London treaty powers, sciting forth that “no permanent ratio ny category of ships was to be hed as among the three Euro- —Great Britain, Italy The Henderson accord ticularly declared that no finality being adopted with reference to mate replacement of ships “remain- ing overage on December 31, 1936.” Split on Replacements. 1t was on the rock of this “over-age hips” provision that the Henderson cment was wrecked. The French nally let it be known that they con- red v had the right to begin replacing all of their over-age ships termination of the agrec- he end of 1936. Off and on ¢ the breakdown of the Henderson d ihere have been various peace es from both Paris and Rome. One of them was the decision of the 1ch Chamber of *Deputies not to roceed immediately with legislation the projected new 23,333-ton rench battleship—France's answer to the Germans' 10,000-ton “pocket bat- tleship” Deutschland, recently launched. But the dispute persisted, and it is bulking conspicuously in the conver- sations Secretary Stimson is holding with Mussolini and Grandi, at Rome, nd those scheduled for this week in aris with Premier Laval and Foreign Minister Briand. Washington officlaldom reads deep significance on_the naval armament question into Mussolini’s remarks _in Rome last Thursday, following his conference with Secretary Stimson. ¢, said the Fascist chief, would be ed with “10,000 rifles,” provided no other country has more than that number. In other words, echoing sentiments frequently expressed by President Hoover about America's wil- ness to reduce her armed strength low a point as any other nation, is ready to cut her fleet to the France will do likewise, ton for ton and gun for gun. That is exactly % the French—at least on the basis ¢ their attitude to date—are unwilling 10 do. si Escalator Clause Automtic, This in a nutshell is the situation jnto which Secretary Stimson _has waded. How far his mediatory efforts will go has not been disclosed. He will “certainly emphasize President Hoover's doctrine that world economic Tecovery, moratorium or no morato- rium, cannot be effectually achieved while countries are squandering so much of their substance on armament expenditure. Conscious, as the Hoo- “prime minister” is, that Europe is not likely to bury the armament hatchet while the two continental naval rowers are at loggerheads over their fieets, Col. Stimson may be expected to exhaust every resource at his com- mand to compose their differences. At the present moment these differences | vitally threaten the success of the| Geneva conference. Ona phase of th> Franco-Italian con- troversy has a direct interest for the United St entirely apart from our | cagerness for disarmament results when tha powers confer in 1932. If the French and Italians do not enter into the limitation agreement, now confincd to the United States, Great Britain | and Japan, and make it a_five-power | accord, article 21 of the three-power, London treaty will automatically come ; into effect. ~That is the celebrated | escalater” or “escape” clauss, which permits any one of the three signatory powers to disregard the fleet ratios as- signed 1t and build up to its determined | needs, in case some power outside mel | agreement, by its own building plans, makes it necessary. Rivalry Threatens Anew. itish, as was made plain afresh t naval debate in the House nmnons, will not tolerate either a French or Italian flzet which threatens British supremacy in European_waters, especially tha Mediterranean. If John Bull should be compelled to_ construct a fleet bigger than the London treaty ileet, Uncle Sam would be required to do likewise if this country is to main- tain desired parity with Britain. Secretary Stimson, of course, will lzarn at first hand all about the under- lying political bickerings which keep Frence and Italy watching each other like hawks. The Italians are especially resentful of the French alliance with Jugo-Slavia, and fear that Paris is sys- tematically goading the Jugo-Slavs into action inimical to Italian interests, espe- cially in Albania, with which the Mus- solini government has established close relations. The Fascist state also has a grievanca against alleged maltreatment of the Italians who constitute the ovcr- whelming proportion of the population of Prench-ruled Tunis. There are also Italo-French border questions in North- eofn Africy, which provide rccurring, points of irritation. Finally, Mussolini chjects to the toleration on French soil of large colonies of anti-Fascist Itallans, who, Rome claims, are en- couraged to plot for the overthrow of the Black Shirt regime from within thelr hospitable French asylum.

Her insistenc> upon the customs of her peopl> produces the breaking point and sends the young man back to the United States, Miss Montenegro admirably com- bines in her single personality the cbvious sensibilities of the person who seeks admiration and attention and the more masterful qualities of the person of complete poise. The transition is sometimes instantane- ous. It is quite likely that the com- bination is rare. There must be many future roles in which her ca- pacity will find an admirable place. It should not be stated that in this Without restraint exhibited upon the screen Playing opposite this gctress is Lesli= Howard, whose work has been observed previously, and who s adapted to the task of offering a foil for a, unique player. Others in the cast Anclude Karen Morley and C. Aubrey Smith. All are favored by the talent of the author. The stage show at the Earle is headed by Morma Gallo and Paul Tisen in “A Melodious Serenade,” with th: Gypsy Quartet; Kolia Negin, singer, and Alfred Brower, speed dancer. Their act is elaborate and has some good numbers. Eddie Garr, who acknowledges his first visit to Washington, is a fine mimic and tells some good stories, Arthur Petley and company are excellent aerial performers, and Moss and Frye have becn endowed with fine vocal equipment. The usual short subjects are presented. C. William Haines, “Children of Dreams,” Music Offering, at Metropolitan. 'HOUGH the season seems a bit lax as far as musical shows are concerned, Warner Brothers release “Children of Dream: now at the Metropolitan Theater. This produc- tion, the newest work of Oscar Hammerstein, 2d, and Sigmund Romberg, well known composing team, has new songs' which shoulgl make a hit in the realms of music, particularly the fascinating waltz, “My Sleeping Beauty.” This song, though sung many times, does mnot Jose any of its attractiveness. There are many other songs one could mention, but this number and one other (from the words it should be entitled “Bungalow, Yes, Sir!”) are the outstanding ones. The bunga- Jow number is very pleasing, though light and not sentimental, whereas “My Sleepmg Beauty” drips sweetly on every word. The story, almost Cinderella in type, except for the end, is fairly old and worn, but it is bolstered up wonderfully by excellent music. Margares Schilling, of the stage and screen and recently of the radio, too, has the leading part, opposite Paul Gregory. Imagine for a background the apple orchards of sunny California, with two young people of the mo- madic fruit pickers who fall in love. A career in'dpera looms for the girl, who hasn’t much choice be- tween love and the stage, for her father becomes - involved in money matters. So love is sacrificed for a career which is very successful. The two are still in love, but, through a_misunderstanding, they separate. Here the country physi- cian, in the person of Charles Win- ninger, comes to the rescue (one could kiss him on his bald head or give him a hearty slap on the back for the sly way he brings the two together again, and shows the girl that love is infinitely more to the human heart than ever a career could be. There are some very stir- ring moments, however weak the plot may be. Handkerchiefs are noticed being brought out and car- ried to the face by strong men, and it wasn’t a bit hot in the theater. Perhaps it was the music and the effective way.in which it was sung, both by Paul Gregory and Miss Schilling. Some mention must be made of ‘Tom Patricola and Marion Byron in the supporting cast. It is these two who furnish the light love romance behind the heavier scenes, and incidentally sing the “Bunga- low” song. The eleventh of the “Adventures in Africa,” this week entitled “Beasts of the Wilderness,” and a Graham McNamee Newsreel flnlsh" l}l{e Ebfl] “Just a Gigolo, With Mr. Haines Not So Good. HIS being the “steali son in the film world, it : only right to report tha William Haines’ new “Just a Gigolo"—currently visible at the Palace—Mr. Haines is not the most important thing. First honors go to C. Aubrey Smith, an actor of the old school, who bristles into the new with a will, and the second hon- ors go to a handsome zipper fashioned to the back of mi- lady's afternoon teagown. Other- wise, this film has less of the slapstick to it than__most of Mr. Haines' screen manifes- tations. It is sometimes amusing, some- times ribald, and, but_for a foolish soliloquy to a cow, is easily digested, and just as_easily forgotten. Fashioned from the David Belasco opus, “Dancing Partner,” and incor- porating into its screen soul two actresses who were in the original production, Irene Purcell and Char- lotte Granville, there is enough of the original flavor to bring occasional blushes to maidenly cheeks and also enough to bring a roar from less maidenly mouths. Miss Purcell, a newcomer to motion picture ranks, without possessing A-1 beauty, is a personality well worth cultivating and an actress whose ability along vivacious lines is considerable. And Miss Granville, doing some kind of an_ “‘umpty-dumpty-daisy" with her gigolo, is a sight worth coming from miles around to see. ‘The story is an indelicate fable concerning the amorous meanderings of a rich nephew of a rich lord, who feels that he will never marry un- less he can find some lady Whose morals are without blemish. His uncle insists that he has found his lady , par-excellence, while the nephew swears that she is as “give- in-ish” as all other Juliets. They both hop to Biarritz to put their va- Tious theories to the test. Once ar- rived, Mr. Haines (the gallivanting Lothario) disguises himself as one of those continental gigolos, whose life is one round of stepping on other people’s toes, and he indulges in a series of misadventures and gets a final slap in the face, which has the ultimate effect of disproving his theory, thus gaining for himself a delightful wife whose past has been as_white as the driven snow. The cast that has to do with all this is excellent, although it seems as if Mr. Haines is less effective in his part than the other and perfect three—right here Haines worship- pers may, if they please, start throw- ing things. The stage show is a pleasant revue entitled “Exit Smiling,” with Bert Frohman as its guiding spirit. Other items on the bill include a splendid shore, “Fisherman’s Paradise,” com- edies and news reels, all to be seen and heard in a really icy setting. E. de S. MELCHER. Film Play by Peter Kyne And Good Acts at Earle. 'HERE is more than the mere ca- pacity to make plots and mov- ing scenes in the creative output of Peter B. Kyne. His touch always means a series of characters as dif- ferent as are those observed in a living world, yet touching each other in such a way as to produce a story which passes b:yond the screen and becomes a part of the observer’s ex- pesence. He makes odd characters, who speak their own languag: and conduct themselves in their own way. Yet all are linked as if des- tined for the contacts that are made in his tale of romantic int-rest. It is this kind of a play that is pre- sented at the Earle Theater in “Never the Twain Shall Meet.” It is not the East and the West that are pictured,.but the mainland and the ‘island in the ocean; not the study of the Orient through the eyes of the Occident, but a singular at- tachment between the Caucasian and the brown race. It is an im- possible alliance, which must end when the story has run its course. Mr. Kyne may be credited with the capacity which only occasionally touches the output of stage and screen—the ability to picture feminine character in its individual and sin- gular types. It is possible to recall on: othar writer who had the same capcity—Clyde Fitch, producer of a fairly long list of plays, Mr. Fitch always entertgined his admirers be- cause, as it appears, the mimic world demands outstanding feminine char- acters. One such role is provided in this Kyne production at the Earle. Conchita Montenegro, hailed as a screen find, is the fortunate ckoice for the part of the young Sguth Sea woman who drags the heir to big Norma Gracious— Lionel Triumphant. SEVERAL rather startling novel- ties are discernible in “A Free Soul,” which is continuing its gay career for another week at Loew's Columbia. In the first place, patent leather bandits, whose eyes fore- bode trouble to the weaker sex, mean nothing more than orderly trips to the altar. Shy, quiet, retiring young polo players are quite capable of shooting dead their rivals in love; parents with a propensity for the bottle may be “swell-elegant” lawyers on the side; and Lionel Barrymore may, and does, run off with a pic- ture in which Norma Shearer is meant to be the indubitable queen. Miss Shearers it is said, was a STAR, WASHINGTON, T HELPS SUSPECT, 20 Wife of Fresno Contractor Asks Court to Aid Youth Husband Paid $1,000. By the Assoclated Pres: NEW YORK, July 11.—The wife of a wealthy contractor whom 20-year- old Wiliam E. Manheim of Fresno, Calif,, is alleged to have blackmailed, came to the youth’s assistance today as he was arraigned, sobbing, in Magis- trate’s Court. @ “I want. you to help me put this boy on the right path,” shid Mrs. George E.

Lewis, elderly head of one of the most spectacular real estate promotions in Southern California land history, will be released from prison September 1 under a parole announced today in Washington by the Federal Parole Board. Lewis was known as the “builder of model cities,” and it was the promo- tlon of one of these, Atascadero, that led to his prosecution by the Govern- ment of mail fraud charges involving a sum of about $1,300,000. New Promotion Banned. He was sentenced May 1, 1928, to five years in the Federal Penitentiary at McNeil Island, Wash., and became eli- gible for parole last May 1. His release is conditioned upon his refraining from further promotional activities. Investigation of his real estate com- panies began after they had failed, ty- ing up about $10,000,000. Among his enterprises was Palos Verdes, Calif., and “University City,” in St. Louis, Mo. Co-Defendant on Probation. At Atascadero Lewis built a city and sold surrounding lands.
