Rucker TREATY SUPPORTED BY WOMAN VOTERS I League Decides to Strive for Cruiser Reduction Pro gram in U. S. ~ | By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE. Kv. May 3.—Having i sweeplngly celebrated the tenth anni j versary of suffrage, the League of Wom ■ en Voters today neatly totaled its "legis i lat.ive support" slate and started scat tering to 45 States and Hawaii. Way for today s passage of a resolu tion "heartily supporting" the treaties which resulted from the London Naval Disarmament Conference had been paved by a hard-won victory in behalt of national measures relating to such treaties. The league thus stands pledged ! to work, not only for the international | disarmament treaties, but also for such j legislation as national reduction through i cruiser bills. j Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the United States Children's Bureau, was j present to hear the league's vote of j stanch support to her bureau's ad ministration of the pending maternity i and infancy act. | The bill passed by the House, and , pending in the Senate, for parity of women’s nationality and citizenship j with mens was indorsed for speedy passage "without hampering amend ments" in another resolution. Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court addressed the league, complimenting the members on the national program and on work in the i States. | The election committee reported re i election of Miss Belle Sherwin, presi j dent. MUSIC VIOLIN PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL. Music week started very auspiciously last evening, when Josef Kaspar pre sented a violin program at the Masonic Auditorium which was well chosen and highly appreciated by a large and mu sical audience. There were five soloists. The first movement of the Mendelssohn "Con certo” was played by Jean Westbrook; the first movement of "The Symphony Espagnole,” by Lalo, played by Paul Brightenbcrg; two movements of Saint- Saens’ "Concerto" by David Legum; the first movement of the d'Ambrosio "Con- \ j certo" by Milton Schwartz, and the first | ! movement of the Brahms "Concerto” | Iby Isaac Minovich. Every one of the young artists had a message to convey | and did it artistically. Perhaps the outstanding performance last evening was the playing of the j IBrrhms “Concerto” and the “Concerto” ! of D’Ambrosio. to which young Schwartz wrote his own cadenza. These two young men, scarcely out of their teens showed extraordinary talent and fine musicianship. There were several en semble groups. The first was a bril lian little caprice by Trouselle, which opened the program. The second was a group of three old favorites —"Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” “The Volga j Boat Song” and MacDowell’s “To a | Wild Rose”—all arranged for four vio lins and played effectively by Mary Parks Clements, Miriam Buchalter, Julia Robertson and Mr. Kaspar. Milton Schwartz also appeared as composer of a concerto for two violins. It is a melodious work in modern style and has some effective hat monies. This j was played by the young composer and j Isaac Minovich, and their ensemble was ! near perfection. 1 The recital closed with the ever-fa- 1 vorite “Thais,” played by 40 young vio- j . linists. Mr. Kasper brought out all the dramatic effects of that composition and the players responded to every ges ture of his baton. The difficult task of accompanying for the evening was ably performed by Dora Minovich and Mrs. Alexander. The young Washingtonians playing' the Massenet number were; Arthur Avignone, Minnie Balarsky, Priscilla Barrows. Bernadette Berard. Elizabeth Bernheimer. Leila Bolls, Harry Bralove, j Paul Brightenbcrg, Miriam Buchalter, Helen Carter, Barbara Caton, Pauline Cather, Mary Park Clements, Margaret Compton, David Cooperstein.

The auditorium of Trinity College was crowded to its limits with an au- i dience that overflowed into the halls last night when the Caecilian concert! was given by students, and received with warm appreciation. Every number had 1 its due of hearty applause. No encores were allowed. The two groups participating were the Glee Club and the Eurydice Club. | The officers of the former are Marga- j ret Burke, president; Mildred Wolber, vice president; Ruth Dooley, secretary, and Alice Duggan, treasurer. The of ficers of the Eurydice Club are Marie Keller, president: Mary Knapp, vice I president: Dorothy Hayes, secretary, and Eleanor Hurley, treasurer. The conductor of the Glee Club Is Malton Boyce, organist and choirmaster at St. Matthew's Church. The conductor of the Eurydice Orchestra is Ludwig j Manoly. head of orchestral groups in i the local high schools. The orchestra opened the program' with a selection from Donizetti’s opera “La Favorita.” They closed the pro gram with works by Drigo an'd Victor Herbert. The ensemble work was ad mirable. The glee club gave two groups of charming, rarely heard songs, including: “Ave Maria,” from Mendelssohn’s opera “Lorely”; “You Ask Me for a Song,” Henry Hadley: "Morning Wind,” Gena Branseombe; “Ashes of Roses,” by Har vey Gaul, and “Nymphs and Fauns,” Bembrrg-Matthews. The club was much praised for fine co-ordination in sing ing the selections. Solo artists of the evening, each of whom was awarded keen attention and applause were Helene Beliveau, Marie Keller and Eileen Hogan. The orchestra has 19 members and the glee club has 73 members, Conference on Homeopathy Sponsored by Laymen’s League of America Foundation for Homeopathy Friday, May 9 Saturday, May 10 Forenoon, Afternoon.

The Columbia Players, under the di rection of Miss Aurora Poston, pre sented Stephen Phillips’ "Herod” last night at the Wardman Park Theater, j The final production on their theatri- I cal calendar of the year proved to be a ! difficult one. Even the most seasoned j professionals might have had trouble j | with it. Last night's company, however.! I came through with flying colors. With i Robert D. Chace in the main role there I was little that was wanting after the I first uncertain moments. Life w'ithin Herod's palace seemed as complicated a state of existence as Mr. Phillips’ must have intended that it should be. As the program explained. “Herod the Great lives in the popular imagination as little more than a suspicious and j : jealous tyrant, known chiefly as ’an in j stigator of atrocity and woe.’ } “But the life of this Judean prince | was a tragedy, the tragedy of a heart- j broken and remorseful man.” And so, j indeed, it seemed last night. For. after ; killing his wife’s brother, and thereby losing her love, then jealously turning against her. he found at the end that he was nothing more or less than a raving maniac, imagining that he could summon once more his wife to him. j The poetry of the piece suffered a | little through uncertainty of cues, but ! on the whole the players handled their ; parts with skill. Mr. Chace. who earl- I ier in the season, did so well in "When the Ship Goes Down,” portrayed Herod i with imagination, and Grace Meyer, as ! his luckless wife, played the part as it j should have been. Others in the cast j who distinguished themselves were I Helen Burton. Edith Dresden and Paul i Alexander. Esther Cloyd, as the sing- 1 Ing minstrel, added, furthermore, a good j bit to the evening's entertainment, as did the Katheryn Dunkhorst Dancers 1 ; in Oriental dances. $l,OOO FUND IS RAISED | FOR RELIEF OF LEPERS Offerings Are Taken at Meeting of Woman's Missionary Federa tion of District.

LAST year's successful musical comedy, “Hold Everything."has been revamped, recast and— thanks to Winnie Lightner and Joe E. Brown's cavernous jaws—has been allowed to emerge as a good old film laughfest. In fact, once firmly established on what seemed at first to be somewhat wob bling feet, this current feature, at Warner’s Metro politan proceeds with fast and furiously funny results. The comic fight scene in it is one of the “Eu rekas!” of cin ema history. The grand music that was part and parcel of the original production, however, has been handled disappointingly, Georges Carpen tler proving him self a better fighter than a S9BM Winnie Lightner. | singer, and the comedy which Bert j Lahr (now of “Flying High” fame) injects is not so funny when appro priated by Mr. Brown. However, the latter has some improvisations of his own which couldn't possibly be improved upon, and the fight scene, as eulogized above, is unique, j The romantic theme of the story, which is a slight peg to hang a production on. has been wisely sub merged by allowing Joe Brown to do double portions of clowning, and Winnie Lightner to sing as much as possible. Once upon a time, so i goes the tender fable, there was a young fighter who was prepared to beat the lightweight world champion | by outpointing him instead of hit | ting him firmly on the jaw. Called i “a cream-puff boxer" by a sage paper, this young buck at the last moment, against the advice of his | trainer, leaps into the breach, so to speak, and thus lays his opponent low, to the delight of his girl friend, who had advocated such a deed. All of which sounds like a fairly thin yarn. Still, the best of the story concerns the efforts of the “Waterfront Terror” (or “terrier,” as i Mr. Brown calls himself) to vanquish his opponent, after going through a series of reducing sequences to get down to the proper weight. These, sequences, with the help of Bert Roach and Miss Lightner, get fun- I nier as they progress, until, with ) the fight, almost a limit of laughing j has been reached. Apart from the “Waterfront Ter ! rior,” his girl friend Winnie and Bert Roach, the cast hasn't much to boast of. Georges Carpentier does , some splendid fighting, but seems a | sheer loss at anything else, and Sally I O'Neil is lost as the vapid heroine. : However, the picture is well worth seeing. “A laugh a minute” is no exaggerated estimate in this case. Graham McNamee announcing The Evening Star-Universal news reel events, with his usual satisfy ing results, and short Vitaphone se lections complete the amusing bill. E. de S. M. “The Light of Western Stars,” At the Larle, Light But Amusing. r J"HE “Western” deluge that Holly . wood has been promising is upon us. and if the first is an indication of what is to follow the days ahead are likely to be bright, brisk and unutterably foolish. “The Light of Western Stars.” now playing at the Earle Theater, is just ! that. It is, to boot, pleasant Spring entertainment. The film is, of course. Zane Grey rehashed for the „ nth time. But out of its wild-west soul emerges a face and figure that belong to Harry Green, who is responsible for making the picture what it is. No fraction of an inch of the shots that have to do with this absurd person haven’t got a laugh. He is, to be plain, uproarious. Without Mr. Green, this picture would be like hundreds of others that are playing in small towns to the tintinabulations of century-old pianos. It has a girl from the East who inherits a ranch after the “foul” death of her brother, and comes there to live. It has a cowboy who falls in love with her, and kisses her rudely, even before that. And it has a villain, who has robbed the dead brother of some money, so that he can buy the ranch in which the fair “heroyne” has settled. There are besides the usual Zane Grey hoofbeats, scowls, cigars and a fight at the end, which has no suspense whatsoever. Nevertheless, the whole thing manages to be pretty amusing. Harry Green is the star, Mary Brian, look ing lovelier than ever, is the attrac tive lady in question, and Richard Arlen plays the part of the Romeo cowboy with little conviction outside of youthful enthusiasm. The remainder of the program is ; devoted to the Earle Orchestra. Eddie Buzzell in a comedy and the Pathe and Paramount news reels. —E. de S.

C., May 3.—The time has come for material changes in ; the law of the United States, Henry Up son Sims of Birmingham, Ala., presi dent of the American Bar Association, told the North Carolina Bar Associa tion here last night. Through the ages, Mr. Sims said, the . question of the need of law reform has i been answered by the clamor of the ; public, mature opinion of students and i experts in the practice of existing laws and by investigation and comparison of other bodies of law. ! Stressing some of the complexities cf i the legal code, not only in the United i States, but in the world, the speaker j declared. “The time has come new when j the supervision of the administration ; of justice in all its phases should be made the charge of the organized bar.” ! When the need of reform has been ; established, he said, the next thing is to j remedy. | “The law must be reformed by stat ; ute,” Mr. Sims continued, “and intel ligent committees of the bar, including the judges in the several States contin uing their observation and research to tell what sort of reforms and how ex tensive reforms the law requires.” ■■■■■—■ ■ • ■ —— ■ People of Germany ate 136,000 bar [ rels of American apples last year.
