the largest crowd to tho playhouse

months ago.
If last nights tremendous recep-

carefully and judiciously selected by
Mr.. Hopper for light and comic

criterion Polls box office is in for

All in all, Washington has some
thing to look forward to in the De

the premiere. And you need not worry
about taking the youngsters. They'll
hear good singing, good chorus and
learn that fun can be clean and spon-

BURIED BY WET
VOTES OF PENNA

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 23.-
Gov. Pinchot and his issue of liquor
law enforcement were showed Under
in the Pennsylvania primary.
Pinchot was defeated for Il place
on the list of seven Republican del
egates at large by Ralph Beaver
Strassburger, millionaire owner of
the Norristown Herald, who two
days before election received full
support of Republican organizations
in Philadelphia, Allegheny and 9TH
er large counties.
President Calvin Coolidge is now
assured of the solid delegation of
70 votes from the keystone state at
the Cleveland convention.
For the first time in the memory
of the oldest elector, Pennsylvania
has failed to send its governor to
the national convention of the par
ty whose politics he embraced.
In Philadelphia Strassburger s
lead was 100000.
Pennsylvania Republicans by de-
feating Gov. Pinchot for the Cleve-
land honor showed their faith in
President Coolidge, according to
Congressman William S. Ware. Anti
prohibition forces are claiming q
great victory as result of the col
lapse of Pinchot s wet and dry ap-
peal.

FRENCH HOPES
GO CLIMMERINC

PARIS, April %. - President
Coolidge's s address in New York yes
terday closes the door to French
hopes for discussion of war debts
in connection with the experts plan
for a reparation settlement, in the
opinion of authoritative French
sources here today.
Mr.. Coolidge's statements mean
the total of Germany's debt cannot
be reduced because France must de-
mand 27,000,000,000 gold marks ad-
ditional to be able to pay the Chit
ed States and England, the Petit
Journal said in discussing the adj
dress.
French authorities unanimously
believed the President s speech will
have n definite effect upon devel-
opment OF the experts plan because
it dispels Europe's constant hope
that the United States would con-
sent to q discussion of war debts in
connection with her participation in
reparations settlement along the
lines laid down, in the Dawes re-
port.
BERLIN, April 23.-Germany to-
day greeted President Coolidge s
speech as expressing full approval of
the Dawes plan for u reparations
settlement and at the same time a
broad hint to France that America
will disapprove any effort to sabo-
tage the plan.
The speech heartened the govern
ment and the people, especially Mr.
Coc,idge's declaration in favor of
the loan to Germany.
