first time in many months Billy
has been married year and must
be congratulated. Trixie has been
married that morning and deserted
in less time than 1t takes<to tell the
story, and must be condoled with and
promised aid. They are bound on
the same train for New York, Billy
to his beloved wife and Trixie to a
job on the stage. Billy's pretty sis
ter, who Is more cat than girl is
passenger on the same train, and
what she sees gives her a. fine chance
to use all her claws. The fact that
Billy fails to see her does not tend
to keep the pretty Ernestine from
.meowing when on reaching, the apart
ment of Billy and Molly she finds
that her brother has not arrived. He
shows up two hours later, and then
the wheel begins to spin.
John Litel as Billy Moffatt speeds
from the devoted husband to the un-
mitigated liar, from the soul of al
truism toward an old friend to gay
deceiver, from the heights of bliss to
the depths of despair with such agili-
ty that one believes him to be a veri-
table acrobat in the command of emo
tions. Leo Lindhard is delicious as
the sef-pitying new husband of
Trixie. known to him as Angeline. He
Is the personiflcation of stupidity in
his misunderstanding of everything
save his love for Angeline and his
deep sorrow for himself.
Edith King is the beautiful, but
dumb wife of Billy, and Eunice Hunt
is fBilly's eatHke sister Ernestine
Agnes Grant shows capability and
personality. and she is well cast as
the unfortunate Trfxie. Others in the
cast are Adrian Morgan as Mollys
irresponsible kid brother, Phil, who
helps along considerably in the mix
up of affairs, and Helen Travers as a
hard-boiled Irish maid. j. Irving
White and Gustave Bowman have the
minor roles of DR.. Bentley and the
Union station newsstand agent, The

Orchestra selections. under the di-
rection OF Meyer Goldman, include

song hits.

seen Reynolds before that he Is fun

of his new material in lines and
scenery.

of clever performers, and the two

over all too soon. There are four
topnotchers among the feminine con-

Andy Francis and James Holly.
Among the specialties introduced
during the evening is a clever dance

FEDERAL CONTROL OF
COAL MINES is URGED
Y. S. Commission FaVors Agency Like
Interstate Commerce Body
Wants Mine Cost Reports.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The United
States Coal commission issued it's final
report. The commission proposes fed
eral supervision of the coal industry
through new division of the inter-
state commerce commission.
Authority to issue licenses to oper-
ators, wholesalers and middlemen
would give the supervising division
considerable power, under the final
suggestions of the coal commission
which ceased to exist at midnight I'M
der the congressional act which Gre
ated it.
The commission also proposes that
the supervising agency be empowered
to compel reports showing facts con-
corning costs, investments, profits and
wages. The agency would encourage
consultations Of bituminous coal
companies, but would have authority
to reject financial arrangements of
consultations if the arrangements
were deemed unwise or unfair.
In order to keep down prices, the
commission recommends that graded
excess profits taxes be imposed upon
royalties paid to anthracite land own
ers and upon profits of anthracite
operators.
The new supervising agency would
act as federal fuel distributor in time
of emergency. The agency, acting I'M
der the direction of the President,
would control the transportation and
distribution of coal.
The commission declares consolida-
ton, grouping or pooling of bituminous
coal mining companies would result in
steadier production, less speculative
prices, wider use of long-term con-
tracts with consumers, lower costs,
more regular employment for miners
and improved living conditions.

NAVAL EXPERT DECLARES
PLANES NO PROTECTION
Captain McNamee Says Airships Can't
Guard U. S. Shores-Need
Big Battleships.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The United
States navy must be built around a
battleship rather than the airplane,
Capt. Luke McNamee, U. S. N, di-
rector of naval intelligence, main
tanned in an address here.
He spoke for "a navy that can stand
up and take blows and hit back hard
er than the other fellow, a navy with
battleships and airplanes." The way
to win wars, he pointed out, "is to go
after the other fellow and hit him
where he lives"
Captain McNamee emphasized the
view that the United States could not
hope to win a war "by sitting at home
on the Defensive" even on the pre-
carious assumption that airplanes
might be able to protect American
continental shores.
If the United States had no navy,
but relied solely on huge air force,
according to Captain McNamee, an
enemy could capture Panama, Porto
Rico, Alaska, the Philippines, the Vir-
gin islands, Hawaii, Guam and Sa-:
moa because he would sink every
transport that we sent out with re-.
Inducements for any of those places"
No defense, he asserted, can exist
indefinitely if it cannot be reinforced.

Paris, Sept. 26.-Premier Mussolini

Lord Crewe obtained assent from Lon
don to abandon the fight and consent
to force the Athens government to pay
reparations even before the authors
OF the Staying are apprehended.
1t is a severe blow to the British
prestige, as London wanted the league
and World court to handle the affair
and sought to reduce the indemnity,
because London bankers eventually
will have to lend Greece the money to
pay the fine

Rome, Sept. 26.-Italy is highly
satisfied with the decision of the

must pay 100000 lire $(2,5O0,OOO)
as part of the penalty for the Janina
