JOHN BARRYMORE - IYCEUM.

John Barrymore. peer Of living American actors. is at his very best in Beau Brummel," the current picture at the Lyceum theatcr. In this picture he takes the part of the most famous characters in Eng fish social life and an intimate of the Prince Of Wales As a social lion, he uses his friendship with the prince to obtain his own ends and as the story draws 10 a close 1t brings with it one of the most pa thetic and at the same time real istic conclusions ever seen on stage or screen. Barrymore in this pie lures as just John Barrymore. What more praise need be given.
 The accompanying vaudeville program is excellent, featuring the "Flashlight Revue" a poppy num- Der with a half dozen people. Against a good scenic background, this little revue breezes through some snappy musical and song numbers with some very clever dancing interwoven.
 Beginning tomorrow, there will be an entirely new vaudeville bill, featuring the latest and best on this variety stage.

BRITAIN HAS NOT
 MADE UP HER MIND
Stand on Disarmament Yet to
 Be Affirmed
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Nov. 19. -- It was stated In British official circles today that the British attitude toward the Ge- neva protocol on security and dis armament had not yet been de- fined by the new Baldwin cabinet nor by the former labor govern mcnt
 \ The governments request that action on the protocol be post poned until after the coming meet ing of the League of Nations council in Rome was mado,it was cated, in order to give the cab- lnet time to place the matter be- fore the British dominions and allow the new ministers of Breat Brit atn time to investigate the protocol as 1t will affect England.
 The government. 1t was added, continues IS policy Of favorably re- garding any attempt by the League of Nations to settle the disarma- ment and security question, and the present protocol, so far as the gov ernment now in cffice understands 1t, will form sound basis for an in ternational conference.
 The conservative government will not define its attitude toward the urotocol until all the dominions have been consulted. Their respective de- cisions are expected to carry weight with the cabinet as to the cabinets final decision.
 The request for postponement Of discussion of the protocol was made 1t is understood, only because there was not sufficient time to confer with the dominions before the open ing of the council meeting in Rome on December 8.
 Great Britain will be willing to discuss the question after the meet ing of the council or at any other time after the cabinet arrives at a decision on it's policy.
 Officials today denied statements that their action in any way could be connected with the international aspect of the disarmament and se- curity problems. It was pointed out that Great Britain means to allow France and the other nations to have security against aggression, If not directly by means of the proto- col, then by other measures which will attain the same result, namely the protection of France against az. gression on her borders or upon hel colonies.
 The cabinet isa understood to fee that the public opinion of Grea' Britain favors security for France and other European nations, and ir respect of this its attitude on the security problem will be copgenia, with opinion here.

DISABLED VESSEL IS MAKING PORT
Freiehter West Inskip Is in
 No Danger

Chatham, Mass, Nov, 19.--The Shipping Board freighter West In- skip, which sent out an s o s. call at 12:1S o'clock this morning from a position estimated at 300 miles east of Boston, sent messages through the station of the Radio Corporation Of America here at S30 o'clock that she was proceed ing to Boston and required no as- sistance.
 The vessel reported that the mes- sage previously sent out was due to engine trouble on board. which had been repaired later She gave her position this morning as 160 miles southeast of Boston Light and her speed as II knots.
 For more than eight hours all radio stations along the coast had been standing by for messages from the West Inskip after the distress signal had been picked up at the Charlestown navy yard and the sta ton Of the Radio Corporation here followed by the call letters KITE, the code of the West 1nskip. Broad casting stations in this district were hushed and all available vessels went in search of the freighter.
 After the one sos. call the radio of the West Inskip was silent and repeated efforts by shore stations and ships failed to bring reply. At 5;30 the coast guard cutter Tampa, which started Immediately after the first message was received, was on the approximate position Of the frelghter. Other vessels to take up the search were the Shipping Board tanker Astral, British ports for New York. and the Shipping Board freighter Stanley bound from European ports for New York. The West Inskip, a vessel Of B. 800 tons. left Antwerp November 1 for Boston.
 Boston, Nov. 19-Shortly after 8:30 this morning. the Charles town navy yard received message that the Shipping Board freighter West Inskip was in communica- tion with the Chatham station of the Radio Corporation Of America and was proceeding towards Bos- ton. The message gave no infor- nation as to the trouble that caused the vessel to send out an sos. call at midnight.
 A telephone message from the Radio Corporation of America E station at Chatham, Mass, said that the Shipping Board freighter Stan ley. according to an intercepted radio dispatch, was also searching for the West Inskip. The Stanley it was said, left a European port at almost the same time the West 1nskip sailed from Antwerp, and the formers last position, reported on November IT, placed here 317 miles southwest of Boston.
 The Charlestown navy yard al S:So th!s morning was still with out further word from the West Tn- skip or the vessels searching for her

waive his objection insofar as I

objection to any of you making your

that his wishes in this respect were
reasonable and that they should be
respected honorably. He mad prom
