With new scenery and bright ideas
worked out in a dancing way. AIDE
laide and HUGHES are offering the top
line act at Keith's this week, with
a hearty welcome and the usual sue
cess. Adelaide has been noted for
several years as one OF the best
dancers on the stage, but even with
better season after season. The new
est idea Of this talented couple, THE
Elopement of the Toys" is a pretty
conceit, cleverly carried out. 1t wins
lots of applause. Both Adelaide and
Hughes have individual numbers also
which win applause. The stage set
ting materially enhances the effec-
tiyenesS of the act.
The laugh producers of the evening
are Bert Fitzgibbon and his brother
Lew. Every sentence uttered by Bert
brought forth laughter and applause,
and Lew apparently, is only swung
into line to save the audience from
becoming surfeited with too much
fun. The lights had to be lowered
to enable this act to retire.

GRANTS TODAY DELAY
In SALE UNDER DEED
Chief Justice Mccoy Halts Action
on Plea That Obligation Was
for Gambling Debt.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court yesterday postponed
for ten days an advertised sale OF
premises 1884 N street northwest un-
der a deed of trust for $1,000. The
sale, scheduled for tomorrow, was
halted on the plea of Mrs. Anna Sacks
Goldenberg and her father, isaac
Sacks, who claim that the deed OF
trust is null and void because given
to secure an alleged gambling debt
of Harry Z. Goldenberg, husband OF
one of the plaintiffs, said to have been
contracted prior to his marriage in
February. 1922.
Mr. Sacks tells the court that he
bought the property in 1919 and
placed the title in his daughters
name while she was yet single and
that he never authorized the execu-
tion of the deed of trust now sought
TO be foreclosed. The daughter says
she depended entirely on her husband
and never read the paper and did not
know she was jeopardizing the prop
erty in signing the deed. The plain
tiffs are represented by Attorneys

The educational function, the ad-
