Associate Players Also Stand
Out in Presentation of
Tragedy.

Robert Mantell played Macbeth
with his most vigorous style to al
appreciative audience at the National
Theater last evening. His execution
of Shakespeare's tragic role was his
own peculiar Interpretation of n part
which allows little room for individu-
ality.
Miss Genevieve Hamper, as Lady
Macbeth, carried her part to a sym
pathetic audience with a strong
voice. which won for her much ap-
plause. At times she placed herself
in her character with such success
as to attain the highest possible scale
of the part. The rendition of her
lines was made vivid by the manner
of her expression.
The only outstanding character
among the minor players was John
Alexander, as Macduff. The strength
of his playing was noteworthy, as on
all occa sions he availed himself to
the full of the opportunities offered
for accented expression.
To an audience chiefly composed
OF students of Shakespeare, who ut
present are engrossed in Macbeth,
the rendition of this tragedy was
well worth the visit TO see Mantell.

LADY ASTOR OUT
FOR LEAGUE BY
ANYOTHERN NAME
Call 1t What You Will, She
Says, the World Must
Have Peace.
By international News Service.

A little Virginian rebel home
from a conquest of Britain, today
urged her first love to raise League
Of Nations standard.
Sheiis Lady Nancy Astor, daughter
of Virginia, member of the British
Parliament and, lastly, warm defend
er of Woodrow Wilson's world
society Of nations.
II was told not to talk about the
league" Lady Astor commented.
"All you have to do is To tell Nir-
ginian don't and its sure to he done.
There will surely be a League OF
Nations one of these days. ! love
America, | love England. but ] do
not confine my love TO these two
great nations. We must embrace
all nations in the family Of our love
1--WE don't have TO call this world
society, a league of nations. We
can call il a League for Peace. Call
it anything for it seems TO be posi-
lively jarring to say League OF
Nations to your politicians.
But / think the league Is coming
You can never tell me that the great
heart of America wants 10 progress
alone"
Lady Astor never misses an op-
portunity TO boost the old home
State, Virginia, or her land of adop-
ton. England.
II don't think Virginia ever had
daughter who loved her more,
was the tribute she paid 10 her
State. "It seems odd, too, that /,
who cared so much for Virginia.
went to another country TO fight for
right. ! love England almost as
much as / love Virginia.
Americans would like England,
too, If they only knew her. She il
white like Virginia, and it was Eng
land who first gave America her
love for liberty. People seem to for
get that
The British peeress waves aside
her critics.
IT'S all perfect tosh." was her
snapped reply.
A further tribute to other daugh-
ters of Virginia and the whole Of
America was her parting comment.
II haven't done any more than any
other American would could do, she
! said. You tell your men here 10
! give the women "A chance. Women
have always taken care of men and
| they'll do it even in politics"

the other day in the House Of
Representatives:
THE ex-service men in the House
have for some time felt that there
was an invisible bi-party government
in the United States which controls
the real Government and they felt
that II was their duty to see to II
that that invisible government
should be removed from power and
that the constitutional legal govern
ment resume its proper place and
attend to he inerest OF the common
ordinary citizen"
Now at the very moment when
such ideas are spreading in the
American Legion the charge gets
made and pressed that Secretary
DENLY and Secretary Fall have
brought 1t about that oil lands
which ought to be kept for the
fuel supply Of the navy is being
handed over to large private oil
navy needs. The cumulative eff.
feet of these things is beginning TO
be remarked. 1t is felt that it would
be a happy interlude If some cabinet
member got charged with doing some
thing excessive for some group OF
people who are financially incaD;Lble
Of making large contributions to
campaign funds. 1t is thought
specifically that unless some such
showing is pretty soon made IL will
not necessarily be true that the

LONDON, April 29.-Chiefly be-
cause Of the alarming spread of the
drug habit in London, the authori-
ties are waging a vigorous cam
paign against the west end night
clubs.
During and since the war about
fifty so-called night clubs CORE
spending TO the Paris cabarets have
sprung up here and have practc-
ally established such a center OF
hectic night life as Is familiar to
most Of the American visitors.
The London city council is now
determined to close every club OF
Questionable character and the po-
lice are already proceeding against
four well-known establishments-
the Blue Hall Club, Brett's, the
"Forty-Three Dances" and the
Palais Royal. -...-
The last named was frequented
by Freda Kempton. one OF the most
beautiful dancers in London, who
recently died Of cocaine poisoning
The Blue Hall was fined Wednes-
day and proceedings against Bretts
began today.
In each case the police inspectors
testified to entering the clubs and
witnessing scandalous scenes. They
alleged they saw women under the
influence of drugs. while at Bretts
dancer tore the shoulder straps
from q woman's flimsy evening gown
without her objecting.
The result of the present campaign
will be the cancellation Of ths
licenses of a large proportion Of th1
clubs, only the most reputable being
allowed to remain open.

BRITISH PLANE INTERESTS
TO ESTABLISH ATTRIBUTES

British airplane interests will es-

dia and Australia, consular reports
from London said today. A plan
submitted to the British government
by the Shell Oil group provides for
regular trips by five of the lighter
than-air airships in weekly passcn-
ger service.
Secretary Hoover was advised that
the scheme is the outcome of inves-
legations made by Commander Den
mis- Burney. A new carburetor.
which uses gasoline or oil combined
with hydrogen, is said to be a factor
which makes the plan feasible. This
will allow the load Of the airship to
be increased 40 per cent.
