United States or any other power Pc
titioned a world conference to de-
state
The chances are that notwithstand-
ing some efforts that are being made
to becloud the disarmament confer
tit begins, the Japanese will confine
their attention ito amatters of COM
mercial opportunity in the Far East
and avoid immigration subjects
which can best be dealt with by direct
agreement between the individual
powers vitally interested.
The American government holds
that immigration is a domestic quest
ion and as such hardly debatable. It's
economic and not political aspects are
uppermost. The last immigration bill
has revealed the desire of the Amer
lean government to protect it's work
ers from cheap labor of all races and
that right of economic protection will
never be submitted to an interna-
tional conference by the Harding Ad-
| ministration.
Now that Japan is ready to enter
the conference, the next step is the

armament conference depends upon

Aragon and Kellar were competing
with each other yesterday for hitting

the other did the same thing. The

didn't have on the same sort of race.

The thing about a ball game to be

On both defensive and offensive,
Walker was the Outstanding star for
the Bugs. He was at bat five times,
securing two singles, triple and a
two bagSer, while on the other occa:
sion he walked. In addition he scor-
ed three runs, had three put outs,
and six assists. What if he did make
measley little error? He should
be allowed one or two occasionally.

hit by Miller in the seventh.

On the other hand the Bugs were
guilty of some robbery too. Walker
and Martin and Walters on the in
field pulled several nice plays, while
Kline in left had a good day with
five put outs to his credit.

This young fellow Baker was gull
ty of perpetrating two remarkably
good plays too. In the second Head
hit one mile minute toward him,
but he very nonchalantly picked it
up and tossed the young receiver out
at first as if he were used to doing
highway robbedy for a pastime.
Again in the sixth he pulled a circus
stunt when he caught the short fly
hit over his head by Ty Smith. Both
of these should have been sure hits.

"MARY"

At the Playhouse in Wilmington,
December 20, 80 and 81, with Sat
urday matinee, George M. Cohan's
Comedians under direction of Sam Fl.
Harris will be seen in the musical
comedy success, MARY" The book
and lyrics are by Otto Harbach and
Frank Mandel; the music by Lou
Hirsch. Mr.. Cohan has assembled a
sterling cast and chorus of girls
who are an outstanding feature be-
cause of their beauty and grace.
The story of the piece has to do
with a young man with an inventive
turn of mind who is obsessed with a
determination to reduce the prevail
ing high cost of living, and a Western
girl who is the social secretary to the
young mans mother. The book, al
though sentimental at times, carries
vein of humor that is irresistible,
and the melodies are of the type that
you will not easily forget.

AT THE PLAYHOUSE
AMERICAS YOUNGEST STAR

AMERICAS YOUNGEST STAR
Miss Helen Hayes, who is to be seen
in Wilmington next week at the Play
house for an engagement of three
days, January 2, 8, and A, as the star
of Golden Days." under the direction
of George C. Tyllr, i& undoubtedly
the youngest star on the American
stage today. She is barely twenty,
yet already it is conceded that she
stands alone in her remarkable ability
to present the perfect type of the up
to-date, high class American girl.
iss Hayes is a native of Washington,
D. c., her father being a prominent
Government official. As little child
Miss Hayes made a hit in amateur
social entertainments and at one of
these she was seen by Lew Fields
who was so impressed by the child's
artistry that he induced her parents
to let her join his company. She re-
mained with the comedias lour years,
playing child parts.
It was with John Drew that Helen
Hayes made her debut in straight
comedy. She was one, and the most
delightful one, of the children in
"The Prince Chap" 1t was here that
George C. Tyler first saw her and
engaged her to play the leading part
in "Pollyanna," on the Pacific Coast.
The following year she created the
part of the "giggling girl' in Booth
Tarkingston's "Penrod," in New
York. After this Mr.. Tyler loaned her
to the Frohman forces to create the
part of the Dream Grip in "Dear
Brutus" by Sir James Barrie, in
which play she practically carried off
the honors. Then she was engaged
for a part in "Clarence," and later
featured in Edward Child Carpen-
ter's play, "Bab," which confirmed
the critics of her genius, and now,
barely out of her teens, she is the
full-fedged star of the delightful
comedy, Golden Days"
