Keith 's-H. B. Warner.

Patrons of vaudeville heartily enjoy
a playlet of unusual merit and thrills.
and this is furnished at keith'S this
week by H. 3. Warner and company,
in "A Box of Cigars" the toplner of
a program of all-round excellence.
Mr.. Warner, although an English
man who has been in this country
almost long enough to make him
Yankee, is a finished and capa BILE
actor. In A Box of Cigars he plays
the part of d clever crook. who has
stolen IA wonderful emerald. and is
taking unusual methods to keep the
police from trapping him with the
goods. AS London Larry" he has
been summoned to headquarters for
an examination. and while there slips
the emerald into a box of cigars or
course, the audience enjoys the out
whiting of the police. The support
ing company is capable and contrib
uteS materially to the dramatic clc-
ment in the playlet
Maryon Nadie and Ota Gygi, with
beautiful scenery and half dozen
handsome laSSies, have an act that
scores with the topIine production.
Miss Nadie is an excellent ballet and
descriptive dancer, who presents her
solo numbers while her husband, with
artistic effect. plays the violin. The
combination made big hit.
Tempest and Dickinson. the former
reciting, singing and dancing in her
own inimitable way. and the big boy
keeping the audience in good humor
with impromptu sallies of wit. are
enjoyable. Miss Tempest. formerly
of the old team of Tempest and sun
shine. has always been a hg favorite
with the Washington playgoers. This
was amply demonSt Strated by the
hearty applause last night.
Stella Tracey and Carl Mcbride
kept right up with the procession by
winning laughter with witty remarks
about their friends. relatives and
married life generally. Their songs
also reached the hit plane. y new

Opinions may differ as to plays and

most convincing criticism as to
whether play or a photoplay is
good or bad Monsieur Beaucaire"

What the Nations Yielded
To Reach London Agreement

not go into the matter of military
occupation of the Ruhr. although it
did prescribe economic evacuation.
Assuming that the evacuation detaii
can be disposed of, there patiently re-
mains the vital question Of how long
Germany is to continue to pay $780,
100000 annually, and until this is
settled the old problem of the sum
of reparations remains. To discharge
have undertaken to pay $4,000. 900
a year for some so years. If the
Anglo o-American agreement were re-
produced in the case OF Germany and
the payments were fixed for the same
period. the sum Of reparations would
have a capital value of upward Of
$4,000, 900, the figure generally held
possible.
Mny Again Occupy Rnhr.
But to come back to the Anglo
French phase of the London agree
ment, the question of the use of CO.
ercion has been settled only so far
as the matter of establishing d de-
fault is concerned; beyond this
France and Belgium are AS free as
they were before: new ocCuaption
of the Ruhr has not been rendered
impossible and France has not sur
rendered the right to individual ac-
ton. All that has been settled is that
the fact of voluntary default on the
part Of Germany shall be established
by arbitration if there is dispute.
You describe the thing quite fairly
II YOU say that while the penalty
for willful default remains unchanged
the London conference insured that
the trial of the German for an alleged
default shall be surrounded by
greater safeguards. and in reality
submitted to an international jury
Of neutrals. France gave up the
power which she possessed but never
exercised in the reparation commits
sion to declare Germany in willful
default if supported by one of the
other three nations represented But
she retains full power to act as she
did in 1928. once the default is de-
clared. Whether France would again
go into the Ruhr or not is one ques-
ton. That she is as free to go in the
future as in the past if German de-
fault is declared. is. however, the
fact.

adjoining her property on which they
built a tWo-Story brick building in

added another story to the building.
Plaintiff alleges that the foundation

the weight of the original building
but the added weight of the additional
story is too heavy for them, resulting
in her adjoining wall cracking and
