The Theaters

The spirit Of Christmas was Joy
fully present at the ShubertLGar-
rick last night in the big and ex-
fine audience, as well as
the truthful texture of Catherine
Chisholm Cushing's new play, High
Noon," presented here for the first
time on any stage. Mrs. Cushing
knows the theater well, and has
a dozen or more plays to her credit,
including "Kittie Mackaye," wild
ow-by-Proxy," "Pollyanna," and the
two musical successes, "Glorianna"
and 'Iassie."
1t is rarely one meets with so
well-chosen a company as that OF
High Noon," which fact evidently
did not escape the observing the
atergoer. and that added to the good
name of the author and a holiday
occasion turned last night at the
Shubert-Garrick into a welcoming
affair that does not happen often
in the seasons run of attractions.
The players who give flavor and sub
stance to the fine performance are
Estelle Winwood. Orrin johnson,
Julia Dean. Louise Hun, Kenneth
Hill. Charles Eaton. Olive Murray
Corliss Giles, Dorothy Lewis and
Harry Gibbs.
There will be no performance
tonight, but beginning Monday
night and including New Yeal
Night High Noon" will be the
attraction at the Shubert-Garrick
A detailed review of High Noon
will be published in this paper Tues.
day morning. There will be nc
matinee any day but Saturday.

Cardinal Kakowski to Herbert Hoo
yer, which has devastated and
ruined a great part of the country
has contributed to the children's
misery. Appeals reach US from
everywhere in regard to the children
who are perishing, victims of disease
and hatred. Before the Soviet troops
destroyed the farming and food pro-
ducing areas, the children of one
province were wont to help Their
little suffering friends in other prov

clothes and went hungry themselves
to give to their little friends
Now the children who used tt

Sliwinski, at Warsaw, "are them

Many Of them have been rendered
homeless by the inability of theii
parents to care for them and have
been put in hospitals and asylums
The same children who marched be-

FORESEE DELAY
BEFORE RETRIAL
OF BOND CASES
Important Witness Alb
sent-Arnstein Case Cost
U.S.. SIS, 1000.

Luck seems to be following Jules
(Nicly) Arnstein and his alleged
associates in the s5,eoo,0oo bond
robbery. whose trial resulted IN a
disagreement Friday in Criminal
Court No. /.
Because of the enforced absence
Of George Storck. expert accountant
and Investigator Of the Department
Of Justice. the retrial will now have
to be postponed probably indef-
nitely.
storck. il was announced. was
called from Oklahoma. where he
was on another important case. to
testify at the Arnstein triYl- He has
returned to that State and the
prosecution cannot predict when he
will return. His presence was vital
to the government because he was
needed to testify with regard to a
chart he composed which showed
the alleged movements of the vzri-
Gus bundles of stocks which were
said to have been stolen at the in
stance OF Arnstein. Mick" Cohn and
the others.
The next step in the case will be
taken by T. Morris wampler. coun-
sci for David W. Sullivan. Norman
S. Bowles and wilen W. Easterday.
This move will be to recover from
Assistant District Attorney John T.
Dooling. the trunkful OF documents
said to relate to the dealings Of the
firm Of Sullivan and Company, OF
this city and Wall street. These
documents were ruled out Of the
trial. which resulted in a jury dis
agreement. The trunk and its con-
tents were turned over to Doolinc
| by Morgan H. Beach, clerk Of the
District Supreme Court. on a writ
Of replevin sued out by wampler.
Dooling has been served by a sim
liar writ and has twenty days in
which TO reply.
The cost of the Arnstein trial TO
the government ran close to S25.0oO.
District Attorney John E. Laskey
said.
Even So" Laskey said. "the gov
ernment is willing to spend that
much again-and more too, il neces-
sary-to secure the conviction OF
these men"
II is likely that the extradition
proceedings in which Mick" Cohn
and Norman S. Bowles will figure
will be set down for hearing on
January IL.

LAND OF CHRIST
SORELY IN NEED
Near East Relief Official
Paints Tragic Picture of
Starving Peoples.

Cleveland n. Dodge, treasurer or
the National Near East Relief, last
night appealed to Washingtonians
to support the movement for aiding
the needy in the land where Christ
was born 1920 years ago.
There is no such compelling want
in the world anywhere today as in
the land where Christ was born"
said Dodge. while the rest of the
world is at peace, there war has
never ceased since 1914. While else
where in the world there are gov-
ernments which, to some extent, are
able to protect and care for the help
less among their people, in the Near
East there is no stable government.
while in Europe friends and rel
atives may send money and cloth
ing and food by post. in the Near
East there is no way to send any
thing to the suffering people save
through the agency of the American
Near East Relief.
Homeless and Hopeless.
From the Mediterranean to the
Caucasus Mountains, from the Ae-
gean to the Caspian and the Red
seas, thousands upon thousands OF
human being-Christians and Jews
are wandering homeless and hope
less in the dead of winter.
Children are dying by the road
side-little lost children who have
forgotten their names and whose
boyhood and girlhood has been one
long martyrdom of exile and fight.
like that flight OF old into Egypt.
The only help, the only hope of
these people is in America. With
pathetic faith they look to us to
save them. We can do it!
"On this Christmas Day the NeaI
East Relief appeals to every Ameri-
can family to take one or more OF
the orphans whom American char
ity is keeping alive, into its bosom
in the name of that other homeless
Child born 1920 years ago"
