grief that came from the death of six
OF her children Mrs. Edwards was for

The death of the deceased was not
directly from Illness. but more the rc-
suit Of the falling of her faculties be-

came like a tranquil sleep. 1t would

Answer to Colby Note Ar
CUES for Frontier Ten
able Against Reds.
CPubIic Ledger SeryiceD

Poland, eager to maintain the
moral support of the United States
as outlined in the note of Balm
bridge Colby. Secretary of State, t.
the Italian Ambassador, has never
theless. it was learned here yester-
day, sent to this country an answer
to the Colby note and the labor "ad-
mOnition." which is in effect a plea
for more tenable military frontiers
than those set up as the Curzon-
Polk line.
The reCreated state seeks either
frontier more easily defended
against aggression from the East
or more solid assurances of pro-
lection than have been fOrthcom-
ing from any of the great powers
so far. The Curzon- Polk line, as
the Poles have repeatedly pointed
out. although it may be ethno-
graphically correct. is virtually in
defensible from a military point OF
view.
The riddle which the Poles have
asked the United States and the
allies to solve for them is, if the
Polish armies are to stop at this
ethnoGraphic frontier, instead OF
taking advantage of the fortunes
OF war which are now OF their side.
what is to prevent the re-assem-
bling of the Red armies for A ncV-
offensive which would once more

CrandaIl'>-NormaT Talmadge In Tho
CaptiyatinE Mary Carstairs."

Norma Talmadge, the most gifted
Of the younger stars of the screen,
yesterday strengthened her hold
upon the public through the medium
of her perfect delineation OF the til
tie role of The Captivating Mary
Carstairs." photoplay new to
Washington and one that combines
more than a touch of adventure
with its gentler elements OF ro-
nance and enduring love.
The action of the drama is brisk
and centers in the mistaken identity
Of a prominent figure in the devel-
opment of events that are as mys-
terious as they are breathlessly en-
crossing. Among the scenes OF
tensest interest is one aboard pri-
vate yacht during which an espe-
cially clever fllip is given story
that never threatens to lag and
never dcviates from the paths Of
logic and plausibility.
Miss TalmadGe. as usual, is utter
ly charming as Mary Carstairs and
is supported by a distinguished cast
that brings full value to a long list
of important roles each having an
essential bearing upon the climax
of the battling story. The reproduc.
tion is a handsome one and the pho
Biography Of a uniform standard Of
excellence.
Supplementing the principal fea-
ture of the bill is "A London Bob
by" Snub Pollard's recent comedy
release. in which he makes the Lon
don police force the butt of an un-
usually laughable travesty in which
he himself eludes the more arduous
tasks assigned him by a series of
subterfuges that may safely be
guaranteed to tickle the risibilities
of even the most confirmed crouch
Hughey Mack, Marie Mosquini, Pick
aninny Sammy and other familiar

MORALS in existence. has just ac-
quired a valuable letter written by
the martyred President seven days
before the surrender Of Lee at Ap-

The letter, written during the fall

Mr.. Oldroyd. who is now 10 years

"Thirty-nine East" is a typical

the best and sweetest comedy we

in THE Chorus Girls Romance"

The Chorus Girls Romance" in
which Viola Dana was screened for
the first time in Washington be-
fore overflow crowds at CrandalTs $
Metropolitan Theater yesterday. is
one of those rare comedy dramas
that combine lively humor. real
human nature and the charm of
pure romance.
Percy Heath, who adapted F.
Scott FitzgeraId's Saturday Even
ing Post story. Head and Shout
ders," to Miss Dana's screen require
ments, knows college life and he
knows the life of the stage So he
was able TO embellish the tale of
the shimmy dancer who married an
intellectual phenomenon with all of
the little characteristic touches.
The humor of a story that out
lines the manner in which the SHIN
my dancer became a popular au-
thoresg while her highbrow hus-
band achieved fame as an acrobat
suggests itself upon even the brief
est resume of plot. 1t is a narra-
tive that is varied in tempo, r!jh
in novel twists and as salutarv as
9ly that ever found its way to the
Si.Vef sheet.
Miss Dana. in the role of Marcia
Meadows of the "Frivolities" chorus.
offers by far the most diverting and
most skilfully drawn characteriza-
tion of her career. Incidentally she
proves herself as completely a mas
ter of toe dancing as of the more
undulatory forms of terpsichorean
art, which principally involves the
shoulders. Gareth Hughes, as Hor-
ace TarboX, the grind, is perfect in
a role of great possibilities which
he fully realizes.

merriment from the experiences Of

himself confronted with the agree

Mr.. Pollard's inclination seems to
be to provide immediate diversion
for a particularly effective blonde
woman he espies standing on a
downtown corner. The fact that
the delectable creature proves to be
feminine member of the police
force complexities matters. 1t finally
needs only the announcement of the
possession of the money to lead the
lady cop to leave the force fat and
marry the owner of the impressive
