NO RACE EQUALITY FOR JAPAN

NO RACE EQUALITY FOR JAPAN.
1t is now stated for q certainty that
the revised draft of the League Of Ma
lions Covenant will not contain pro-
vision against racial determinations.
This Is another victory for Americans.
This country would not stand for any
action that might even remotely inter-
fere with its right to regulate immi-
grafton and the naturalization of
aliens.
This action Of the Peace Conference
has given Japan's dignity body blow,
and many are of the opinion that the
Japanese ENJOYS will withdraw from
the conference. They may do so, but
the probabilities are that they will not.
Japan has much to gain by being a
member of the League of Nations.

Each year since entering the field of
theatrical producers, Selwyn & Company
have succeeded in presenting at least
one farce which has earned national re-
pute for its smartness oleverness and
bilariousness. One season it was Twin
Beds" Another season Fair and
Warmer" was produced and it still is
one of the real sensations of the thea
trical world.
True to their custom. Seiwyn & Com
pany have added another farce hit to
their long list of successes. THE
Naughty Wife" is unquestionably the
hit of the season for that style Of play.
'The Naughty Wife" opened the season
early at the Harris theatre, New York.
from there it went to the Park Square
theatre in Boston and then to Chicago
for run. and it is now playing In Lon
don, England.
1t will be seen here at the Jefferson
for two days beginning on Tuesday, Oc-
tober q, with Wednesday matinee. The
slogan of Selwyn & Company has been
for years, 1.-THE House of Fits" With
out question THE Naughty Wife" is
doing it's share in unfolding that reputa-
ton.

William LIE Baron's play, IT Love
You,' presented at the Jefferson the
atre last night, proved to be most
amusing and well-acted farce. The
plot is quite original and with the ex
ception of a slow start is as cleverly
worked out as one could wish. Neither
is it any more improbable than the
ayerag e farce. which has way of
calmly disregarding the probabilities
from beginning to end. Another fea-
ture that deserves commentator is the
wholesomeness of the play. There are
