The prosecutor added that he wished to emphasize that he called university authorities and told them the bouts should not be held. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. | UPPER MARLBORO, Md., March 2./ — The Prince Georges County Com- missioners and State’s Attorney Alan Bowie yesterday moved to check efforts | to introduce rrofessional boxing into the county. In a brief executive session the com- missioners refused an application to hold boxing bouts at Silver Hill, as the State's attorney wrote University of Maryland authorities that he considered the bouts held Monday night illegal and would make every effort to prevent such matches in the future. The application on_which the com- missioners acted was filed by Milton T. | Rowe of Washington, whose petition | sought authority to hold “benefit box- ing bouts on the Dunbar property, Sil- ver Hill.” Although the vote by which the commissioners réjected the applica- tion was not revealed, it was learned that action on the application was not unanimous. Returning two complimentary ring- side tickets which he received but did not use, Mr. Bowie wrote H. C. Byrd, sistant to the president of the Uni- versity of Maryland, that he had been First Plays in Dramatic Tournament. THE one-act play tournament of Washingtcn amateur dramatic organizations opened last evening at the auditorfum of Eastern High | School with the presentation of 3 of the 15 productions entered in the competition. Representing the Community Cen- ter Department of the District and | the Drama Guild of Washington, all these groups of players within a fortnight are scheduled to present the results of their season's work. The organizations represented last evening were the Women’s City Club drama unit, the Jewish Community Center Dramatic Society and the Weodlothians. On eccount of ill- ness in the cast the North Carolina Avenue Players were unable to ap- ar. pe“The Rest Cure,” by Gertrude E. | Jennings, was given by the players from the Women's City C{ub. under the stage direction of Blanche M. Foote. Members of the cast were Margaret Moorhcuse Graham, Ruth E. Snodgrass, Thelma Schmidt, How- ard Whitfield and Violet Ann Ham- bleton. The scene was laid in a bed room of a nursing home in Lon- | don and represented the experi- ences of a literary man who thought he was suffering from a nervous condition. It is a sprightly play and its interest rests largely in the antics of two striking personalities, the nervous man and the servant ‘who cares for the room. In these two roles excellent work was done by Mr. Whitfield and Miss Graham. |CANADA RANKS FIFTH AS EXPORTING NATION Surpassed Only by United States, Britain, France and Germany, Report Shows. By the Associated Press. TORONTO, March 2.—Only four na- tions—the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany—exported more goods during 1931 than Canada, the minister of frade and commerce an- nounced yesterday. As Canada moved up into fifth place, he said, British India dropped down to sixth place. In total trade Canada is in sixth place, due, the statement said, to a sharp decrease in imports brought about “largely by the trend of the Canadian purchaser and trader to use more and more goods made in Canada.” The Dominion Bureau of Statistics set Canada’s decline in exports last year at 31.8 per cent, and that of the nited States at 36.9 per cent. From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington.s Theaters. The Jewish Community Center had selected a particularly difficult play, “Overtones,” by Alice Gersten- berg, and concerning two women engaged in uttering mild but inter- esting platitudes of a social char- acter, with the accompaniment of their “overtones,” visual representa- tions of their real sentiments to- ward each other, particularly in re- lation to the respective absent hus- banas. The play is unusual. Its difficulty lies in the fact that the “shadows” must speak through heavy veils. Their tones are naturally modified. and the task presented was trained a severe test of the well work of the actors. Members of the cast were Lillian R._ Spector, Edythe zaroff, Jan Barnette, Billie A. Sachs and Pearl Abrams. The direction was by Dorothy Abrams. The Woodlothians presented “De- ceivers,” by William C. De Mille, under the direction of Robert Hal- sted. It had the typical De Mille instinct for the creation of well de- fined character, and the finer quality of the dramatic episode. The three members of the cast, engaging in a piece of genuine interpretation, were Mr. Halsted, Lucile H. Cohan and Brad W. Holmes. The play is one of domestic comedy. The next group will be presented ‘Thursday evening. The judges of the preliminary contest are Con- stance Connor Brown, Beatrice Peters, Maud Howell Smith, Court- land D. Baker and Gerard Yates. The first group represented great variety and contrast in its selections, furnishing an excellent evening's entertainment. D.C.C. negulan A very limited STORES 1115 F St. N. W.

He made a few pointed remarks, calculated to draw Judy's fire. But Judy refused to be drawn into controversy. Her heart was too sore, too crushed to flame into resentment What did it matter what they said about Nick. They didn't matter Stan’s manner toox on a sort of dogged sulkiness, he treated Judy with barbed with an elaborate politeness mockery. It was hard to bear. Judy longed to get away from it all. To go up to the city—find work. She shook off that memory of the other time she had gone to the city. That was dif- ferent. Fate had stacked the cards against her then. Now she had more poise—she felt capable of holding her own against the world. But why think about it. Madame needed her. She couldn't go_now. Judy could look pack on that mad day when Nick sailed and see it in its true colors, Oh, Madame had been right. It would have been disastrous for her to have gone with Nick A splendid, crazy thiag to do—bound to end in catastrophe for them both Madame was right—even Nick couldn’t have forced the world to accept her Nick belonged to the world. She didn't have the right to muddle up his life But, oh, the thought of what might have been! Starry nights out there in the back beyond—and Nick. Temple bells and porcelain towers—color and incense—and Nick. Always Nick, with his dear brown face and his steady gray eyes. Nick, the dependable com- rade—Nick, touching her on the shoul- der, steadying her with his eyes—his smile. “All right, Judy 2" Nick, flying out of the moon—straight into her heart. Nick, holding her tight in his arms in the hush of the mountain night—Nick, white beneath his tan, his eyes stricken, murmuring, “Darling— 00d-by.” Yes, Madame had been right. It would have ruined both their lives, that mad gesture of flight. But there were times when Judy wished Madame had missed the steamer.

He was out a great deal, but it was obviously with male companions. Judy suspected that he was seeing very little of Eunice at present. He was determined to give his wife no weapen to use against him. And so the silent warfare continued —while to the world they presented a smooth and unruffied manner. Judy even accompanied Stan to Eunice Wil- son’s house on the night of her elabo- rate swimming party. The Wilson house was elaborately decorated for the night's celebration. The walls of the long ball room were bhung with costly rugs and rich bro- cades, turning it into a scene of Byzan- tine splendor.

A last bizarre touch had been added by touching the waves of her hair with gold and purple pow- der in the manner of the ancient Roman beauties. Her slender arms were covered with exquisitely carved gold bracelets from wrist to eibow, and an antique necklace of wreught gold clasped her throat. Beside his gorgeous wife, the bank- er, Wilson, seemed more stodgy, more commonplace and middle-aged than ever. A great weariness was in Judy's| beart tonight. All of this elaborate show filled her with a faint disgust. So empty—so futile. Nothing would be said in this splendid setting tanight which would be worth repeating to- morrow. She thought of Nick—pictured Nick and herself flying in_the night—over the sleeping earth. Thought of that night of mountain moonlight when Nick had held her in his arms and told her of his love. Judy remembered how impressed she been with all this display when | she first came to Lockwood, and & wave of pity for that frightened, un- sophisticated girl who had been her- self, rose in her heast.

Now that she did not care, that she made no attempt to please, she had the whole-hearted approval of the stag line. There was always a long stag line at Eunice’s parties. Eunice herself passed often from one pair of arms to an- other. Her own beauty, and the Wilson millions, cast an irresistible glamour. Judy was cut in upon often, in a way which would have filled her heart with almost tearful gratitude at one time, and which now left her entirely cold.
