"No, No Nanette" is a certain an tidote for the blues. The music Is catchy, with one or two numbers taking root, in the mind and heart of ihe audience. "I Want to be Hap py." "Tea for Two" ami " Who's the Who" are the special hits. Mr. Crnmit and Miss Munson sing the first, Miss Munson and John McCau-b-y sing at d dance the second and Miss Sanderson sings the third.

LEAGUE MUDDLE Sensational Fight lor Castle Ronalds Brought to Mind Chamberlain's Speech Only Causes More Trouble London. March I 7P An address of Sir Aus'cti Chamberlain, the Brit ish foreign secretary, before the League of Nations parliamentary I committee yesterday, in which he suggested that he should have lati tude In conducting the. negotiations at the forthcoming meeting of the League in Geneva on the question of increasing the number of perma nent seals in the League council seems to have served to muddle the situation ' rather than to ameliorate it. The committee received his ut terances somewhat coldly. The peo ple generally still oppose his stand. Although the address was made at, a private sitting of the commit tee, from what has been gleaned of it Sir Austen did not recede from his previous position in favor of nn enlargement of the council. lie de nied having reached any agreement with M. P.riand. the French premier, on the subject in January, hu' he did not deny that an understanding was readied at Locarno for an en largement of the council, currently with Germany's entry into the league .,,-,.1 iihniit the knowledge of Ger many. The people of Great Britain gen erally, apparently are not in favor of any inrease in the permanent membership of the council and ad vices from Geneva indicate that the various capitals or Knrope are stir red up over the situation. The League spokesman in the Swiss city are 'declared to be confident that the very gravity of the di.-pute will com pel 'the diplomats, when they arrive iv-re next Sunday, to reach a com promise agreement. It was thought in Geneva thai th. ; rouble might be settled by electing Germany and Spain to permanent seats and putting Polr.ml among the non-permanent seats left vacant, by Uie elevation of Spain.

The death of Miss F.lizahcth lhalie. recipient of the fortune and an ac tion tiled in supreme court here again has op-led the case which, stirred society twenty years ago. The action was tlb d by nusie-s of 1 'he estate ov r its piasent division among nhuives and has revealed hat Miss likiko d-, 1 back jr,;;7, ' on property to Mr. Konalds' children anil acet ptcd the income from a ?L'fiO,fiini trust fund in re turn. Her ibalh in April, l:-:'.',, has necessitated division of that fund. Acceptance of the trust fund by Miss Hlake ended a suit brought by l'.onalds' children 2" juirs ago to set aside these transfers on Ihe grounds that Miss Flake had influ enced their father through his be lief in spiritualism. Mr. P.onalds, known as the father of American coaching, owned Cas'le Lonalds, a massive stone structure, where many spiritualistic seances were held. The castle was know n as the ."House of Mystery" because of a series of secret passageways. Mr. Konalds' wife left him in J SyG lie cause of his belief in the superna tural. After compromise with Mr. lion aids' children, Miss Flake retained this castle and made her home there. The 5200,1100 -was to be turned over on her death to the three Konalds children, Koginald, Pierre and Mrs. Fannie F. Ritchie. Reginald died In 1324, leaving two daughti rs mid the trustees wish ;o know whether they should pay one-third of the fund to his former wife, who has since re-married, or should pay one-sixth to each of the daughters, Reginald's former wife is now Mrs. John Curley of lloston. Tin y had been divorced. Other complications arc a judg ment against Miss Hlake. disposition of an assignment or her interest in the trust and her will having the state including the castle to 1 - r brother and sister.
