"sATURDAY NIGHT" MAKES A HIT

Revealing society marital mix-up of exceptional interest, Cecil B, De- Milleis latest Paramount picture pro duction, Saturday Night" was shown with great success at the Coliseum Tyhesater Hast night. The theme, which proves that mon and women who nlanry outside their own environment, frequently find time to repent of their rashncd5, was admirably pre- scented.
 The leading players. including Loa- trice Joy, Conrad Nagsl, Edith Rob- erts and Jack Mower. vest their pcfr.rayals With artistry seldom seen in the movies. Miss Joy and MT. Nagel are society folk, while Miss Rot,ottts and Mir. Mower are of a lower social class. Cupid gets busy with all eff them and the result is a nlix-up through matrimony that would baffle any cthar producer than Mir. DsIMflle to d.raightea out, but he doss it with his accustomed grace. T.le phosslplay is figled With stirring and boautfful sccHss, all of which will please picture fans. To reveal tho story would be unjust to the reader, and it is perhaps sufficient to say that Jsanie Macpherson, who wrote it. never dispcayed her skHf to bet ter advantage.

CORBIN HOME BADLY

PERsHING ONCE USED HOUSE

Fire, famed by slight breeze and
aided by the inability of firemen to
keep water on the flames, nearly
destroyed the main section of the
home of Mrs. H. c. Corbin, widow of
Gen. Coroin, at Broad Branch road
and Rittenhouse street, iate yesterday
afternoon, The place, known as the
Highwood, is located in the center of a
large tract of land and was occupied
by Mrs. Corbin, her sister, Miss II. Pat
ten, and servants.
The fire was discovered by one of
the servants. who observed flames
coming out OF the chimney. Sparks
famed by the breeze settled on the
shingled roof. and the flames spread
rapidly. When the fire apparatus ap-
peared one line of hose was run up
the long driveway to the home. but as
soon as pressure was put on 1t it
burst.
For several minutes, until the ar
panies, the flames spread rapidly in
the face of efforts to stop them with
chemicals.
Neighbors and workmen in the vi
cinity moved much of the furniture
from the house before the collapse
of the roof. Mrs. Corbin, who Is. an
invalid, was removed to the lawn.
where she watched the efforts of the
firemen. Additional companies were
called out on a third alarm to supply
hose.
There was considerable open criti-
cism from residents of the neighbor-
hood over the rotten hose lines which
the District fire department is forced
to use.
The Corbin home was built about
twenty years ago. Shortly after the
war 1t was occupied by Gen. Pershing
as his home.

al publicity must be credited to the
self-service boxes and 70. the Santa
Claus posters going with them.
When the boxes were being col
lected on the day after Christmas
many of the store managers express
ed personal interest in knowing how
much had been deposited in the box
placed in their care and were sur
prised to find that In most cases
none of the seals were missing and
several Of the boxes had more money
than the seals taken represented.
Small LOSES Noted.
IL a few instances seals were miss
ing ranging from ten to sixty, and
in une Ilace about 100 seals, but this
may have been due in part to a pur-
chaser taking the wrong envelope by
accident. At all events. the loss was
inoonsiderable on this account and
the results testify to the general
honesty of the public and good will
toward the work of tt:s association.
In one store where a discrepancy of
few cents was noted by the COL
lcotor the item was voluntarily made
up by one OF the employees at a soda
fountain, who by chance had noticed

chases of seals were made, notwith-

A Few managers said that moro seals
could have been sold in the last day

reached them in time. The failure
to supply them was due to some
clerical oversight in getting the

GASSED D. C. VETERAN
DIES IN LEAVENWORTH
Callie r. Nolan Saw Service on
Mexican Border Before Enlist
ing for World War.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, December
29.-Callie R. Nolan, son of Samuel
Nolan, Washington, D. c., died in the
federal penitentiary here today Of
heart disease. Nolan was serving a
life sentence for the murder of a mil
itary policeman overseas.
He was gassed in action, and an
attempt to obtain his release had
been made by several legion posts.
The body will be sent to Washington
for burial.
Callie r. Nolan was born in Wash
ington twenty-nine years ago. He
was a member of the District Ma
tional Guard detachment that saw
border service, and at the outbreak
of the world war enlisted in the
Army. He was gassed in action, and,
according to stories brought back to
the mans mother by companions in
his outfit, became temporarily de-
ranged while under treatment, which
resulted in the death Of one Of his
guards. A member Of the family,
southwest, stated last night that sew
eral officers who knew of The case
circulated a petition for clemency
after a court-martial had passed sem
tence, and that the petition even
reached this country.
At the close OF the war he was
brought to America. The body will

bassadorial duties again. His general
health has much improved recently. and
he undoubtedly had hopes that he would
return to Washington, and told his
friends so. He has been able recently
to attend two public dinners. al

wise he has lived very quietly

to retire will be deep disappoint-
ment to his friends and to the for

Howard Not Widely known.
Sir Esme Howard, who is men
toned as his successor, is not so well
known outside of the official world,
because he belongs to the regular
diplomatic establishment, the mem
bers of which customarily get little
advertising unless some activities of
an unusual spectacular nature fall to
their lot. His work in Sweden during
the war was considered highly VAL
uable. ------------
The appointment of Sir Esme will
be pleasing to the members OF the
regular diplomatic establishment, be-
cause during the late years the gov
ernment has shown tendency, which
has almost crystallized into a policy.
to go over the heads of the trained
professional diplomats to select emil
nent outsiders for the greatest and
most desirable posts. 1t had become
a current belief that the members OF
the regular foreign Office establish
the government at Washington.
The selection of James Bryce was
the first example of this policy-an
example which old school diplomats
hoped would be the last. During the
war, however. Lord Reading was sent
to Washington. He had wide Official
experience. but none in diplomacy.
Labor's Views Uncertafn.
Earl Grey mad been head of the
foreign office when he served a brief
term in Washington. Sir Auckland
Geddes was another outsider to the
profession.

when Sir Auckland's health was be-
lieved to be precarious the Washing
ton post was offered to Austen Cham

whether Sir Esme Howard's term is
likely to be a long one. The question
Of how the labor party will manage

Engineer Commissioner Bell yes
terday launched a movement to have

house number
The majors first step was to inquire
of the building inspectors office what
procedure the District might follow to
require the displaying of numbers.
The Commissioner indicated that he
may ask the cooperation of the po-
lice in finding out whether there are
many homes without number desig-
nations on them.
Local postal authorities have no re-
cent statistics on the subject, but
they ventured the statement last night
that the number Of numberlesS houses
is not very large.
While Maj. Bell does not regard
the question as one OF great impor-
tance. he nevertheless believes that
there should be number plainly visi-
BILE on every building.
In many cases numbers have been
painted on the transoms OF front
doors, but diIigent housewives, In
their desire to keep the transomS
clean, have washed the numbers awar
