16 BIRD SANCTUARIES OIDBYCOOLIDGE Natural Havens for Game Fowl to Be Created to Pre vent Extinction. By the Associated Press. A national system of sanctuaries Vhrre migratory birds may feed, rest and breed, unmolested, in marshy and Woodland areas, will come into being by , the bill signed yesterday by President Coolidge. It is the contribution of the United ' States to an agreement with Canada to : lessen the dangers threatening the rapid 1 extinction of the continent s birds, and . results from the pleas of conserva tionists in all parts of the country for nearly a dozen years that Congress enact the legislation. In every State of the Union and in Alaska one or more of the natural Woodland sanctuaries will be created for game fowl and migratory birds under the program, which is estimated to be completed within 10 years. As a matter of fact, the new act goes beyond migratory birds in its scope, since it would naturally follow that wild life of all kinds in the United States will live unmolested in the sanctuaries. As to birds, not only ducks, geese and others classed as game will be protected, but. also the great, hosts of smaller birds so vitally essential to the agri- | cultural interests of the country by their unceasing warfare against Injurious insects. Fathered in Congress by one of the leading conservationists in the country. Senator Norbeck of South Dakota, the measure represents the combined efforts of a number of wild-life enthusiasts in and out of the National Legislature. Considerable contribution to the actual wording of the bill was given by Repre sentative Andresen of Minnesota. • | CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. . TODAY. Ruth Chapter.

The popularity of the National Thea ter Players, both as a group and indi viduals. was never any stronger shown, perhaps, than it. was last night by the audience that greeted each player with hgprty applause. Many had come to see their favorites in action, as well as to see the new members of the troupe perform. Because, the National Theater Players have become a Washington Institution. The play, a hit from the outset in New York, also has enjoyed an extensive run in Chicago. The National Theater Players, through a friendship of their management with the New York pro ducers, has the distinction of being the first repertoire company to present the play in stock.

Summer” season a long way ahead of the usual time, the players through talent exhibited last night give promise of being able to continue through the “stretch" to their advantage and the pleasure of Washington theater-goers. The theme of the play has to do with married life and its many entangle ments, with many experiments tried, but in the end the old theory that "true love never runs .smooth” probably was never any more strongly upheld. The initial glimpse of married life and its many pitfalls is given with the opening of the first act. The husband and wife, Harry Bertrand and Florence Bertrand, played by Charles Hampden and Helen Wallace, respectively, old favorites in Washington, are having their family troubles as the curtain rises. The main issue prompting the arguments is a Spanish vamp. Miss Alvaraz. played by Enid Romany, over whom the wife is very jealous. The husband gives the usual assur ance that Miss Alvaraz is merely an employe of his business firm and ex plains having invited her to his house because of a desire to make a hit with a guest of the evening, a big busi ness man. Tice Collins, played by Wil fred Lytell, who has made a mint of money in South America. The wife, however, Is not satisfied with the ex- . planation, particularly when she dis covers a bill for S2OO, made out to her husband, for a dress for Miss Alvaraz. Later the wife’s suspicions seem justi fied and the dinner party tprns into wild disorder, with exhibits of hysteria, after Mrs. Bertrand has slapped the face of the vamp. This set the stage for the main act, in which Mr. Collins and Ann Marvin, the sister of Mrs. Bertrand, played bv Mary Newton—the new leading lady of the company—enter into an unusual marriage agreement, prompted by Ann's disgust for the usual married life as a result of observing the bond of matri mony as applied to her sister and brother-in-law'. Firmly resolved not to fall into the usual pitfalls resulting from marriage, Ann and Mr. Collins enter into a mar riage agreement whereby she acts in the capacity of the ideal housekeeper and he attends to his business, each being careful not to interfere in any way with the affairs of the other. This continues successfully for a long period, but then jealousy develops, or rather, as described by Ann, there comes “anger, suspicion and doubt,” which go with love. After many amaz ing complications a reconciliation is | effected in which a series of clever con versations play a responsible part. Dolly Garrett and Fred Garrett, played by Nancy Baker and Freddie Sherman, respectively, furnish a second married team to lend color to the play. The players are introduced to the audience after the performance. The new leading woman. Mary New- ! ton, an attractive brunette, shows an unusual amount of stage poise and personality. Wilfred Lytell, leading man, has appearance and manner which make him the ideal "he man" and particularly qualify him for his present role of a man who has made his own way in the vvfirld. Freddie Sherman and Nancy Baker as Dolly and Fred Garrett performed well. Freddie is the juvenile of the company and gives promise of being popular with Washington audiences. The others are widely known to thea tergoers of this city and lived up to past reputations. Arthur Rhodes, as Dumary, the butler, possessed the dig nity and resourcefulness which could only be attributed to one of his years of experience in his position. Roman coins recently unearthed at Wembury, England, represent a Colonial issue of Galba, dated about 68 A.D. More than half the automobiles sold in Belgium in the past three years were from America.
