Guy Mason Declares Rent
Commission Faces Big
Problem.
CITES COMPLEX CASE
Woman Rents SIS Flat for
$4OO After Spending
900 to Furnish.
CITES COMPLEX CASE

Subletting OF apartment houses is
one Of the largest problems with
which the Rent Commission will
have to deal. according to Guy Ma
son. who spoke informally before
the James H. Choate Chapter of the
Sigma Nu Phi fraternity. National
University Law School, at the Uni
Versity Club Saturday night
He cited one instance where a
woman had put $1,000 worth of fur
niture into an apartment she had
rented for SIS a month and rented
the furnished apartment for $500 a
month. going to Pam Beach on the
proceeds of her profiteering.
Another case a person had turned
seVen-room apartment into a
sleeping-room apartment by putting
Tour beds in each room and charg-
ing $40 monthly for each bed
Mr. Mason is one of the three
members of the Rent Commission
and urged that his statements not
be taken as entirely authoritative as
he represented-only one-third of the
commission.
Being a renter myself. my SYM
pathies would naturally be with
the tenants" he said, "but 1 really
believe the so per cent increase
that some landlords have charged
IL entirely unreasonable"
Reading of sections of the Ball
act which provided for the Rent
Commission and discussion of it in
part was a feature of the session.
The fact was brought out that
rentals, according to the act, should
not be based on the present value
OF the property but on a ~ per
cent basis of interest on the prop
erty at the time of it's purchase.
The main purposes of the COM
mission. he stated. are to look after
the interests of the tenants and TO
increase living accommodations in
the District.
Mr.. Mason stated that 400 claims
OF various sorts had already already
been received for settlement.

City, itself, all sprang before the
eye on the celluloid. The little town
where Delilah is reputed to have
been born looked as though the

The pilgrimage to the Holy Land
through the air eliminates in the
triumphal entry of Allenby's troops
into Jerusalem and its delivery
from the, rule of the Moslem oppres-
sor.
The running comment of Lowell
Thomas adds remarkably to the
value of the picture.

which IL puts into effect with dire
results that are effectively repro

The development OF the story un-
folded during the action of this eS-
ctilent camera subject grips atten-
tlon from the start and leads to
ciimacteric incidents notable for the
sheer dramatic power which they
possess. The principal roles are
taken by MahIon Hamilton and
Betty Blythe. two experienced play
ers who fulfill the highest require
ments of their difficult roles. The
other members of the excellent cast
acquit themselves with equal credit
In roles that vary in character and
demands through the entire social
scale.
The production is one that takes
rank with the really commendable
achievements of photodramatic art
and the photography is of a quality
that lends the picture a degree of
finish quite in keeping with the
fashionable places and people who
furnish elements of primary inter-
est in the story.
The bill is completed by the usual
shorter additions to the program Of
