stock an ordinary bar-were held un
der strict guard at the naval base

of customs at Norfolk. He hurried to
the base and laid his information be-
fore Rear Admiral Roger WelIes com
mandant of the Fifth Naval District.
Upon orders of Admiral Welles, Capt

searched the vessel. Practically every
person aboard the transport was
placed under detention

A wild scramble to get cases and
jugs overheard followed, but practi-
cdlly everything tossed from the port
holes was salvaged.
Admiral Welles ordered a board of
inquiry, which convenes Friday morn
ing. to investigate the case. Every
offlcer aboard the Beaufort was sum-
moned to appear-not as a witness
but as defendant. The board, whose
sessions will be private, is composed
of Capt. H. c. Cooke, commanding of
HSer OF the naval air station here:
Comdr. G.. e. Baker of the general
court-martial staff; Capt H. Pefey,
U. =. NJ. c., and Lieut.. Col G. NJ. Kin

moned to the court, although no liq-
uor was found in his quarters, 1t was
said.

THERE'S NO DISCHARGE
FROM THE WAR

Life for Anthony Jowitt, the
new screen find" who appears
in a prominent role Of "The
Little French Girl" which comes
to Loew's Columbia tomorrow for
weeks engagement, is just one
war after another. Having helped
England and the Allies to make
the world safe for the self
determination Of small nations.
Jowitt iustifiahly turned his back
on warfare and pursued the
peacetime activities of writing
short stories and acting on the
stage in London.
No sooner did he make his
film debut, however, than he was
thrown into the maelstrom Of war
for ''The Crowded Hour" Bebe
Daniels latest picture. in which
Jowitt played a minor role, that
of an English army officer. In
the bombing and shelling and
exploding, the mud and devasta-
tion and horror Of the simulated
war, Jowitt revived part Of his
actual experience in France dur
ing the real combat. When the
war episodes in that picture were
completed recently Jowitt heaved
a sigh of relief and turned his
thoughts to more pacific roles.

Edward F. Albee, master

has that catholicity OF interest
in all the fine arts which
prompts him not only to con-
struct beautiful playhouses but
to enrich them with the finest
paintings, the best of statuary
and bronzes, the most valuable
of tapestries and the most au-
thentic of period furniture. For
over thirty years he has been
developing and accomplishing
such plans, supplementing them
with a continual advance in the
quality of the music in his
houses and the standards Of the
shows which have made Vaude-
vile the most universally pop
ular of all stage entertainments
In this country. If Mr.. Albee
had achieved one-half of these
great things in London he would
have been knighted; in France
he would have been honored.
