POLPS-"LoveIy Lady"

POLPS-"LoveIy Lady"
Lovely ladies will be given n en-.
tertaining expose of their charms
when directed toward sha ping the
destinies of a father and son at Polls
Monday evening. On this occasion the
1925 models of feminine captor, mod.
ern mother and new generation girl
will be themselves" with no exag-
geration, 'tis said, and no bogus buf-
foonery. Just a fine lot of girls" in
the language of the day, voicing dia-
logue from the fascile pen of Jesse
Lynch Williams, in the new comedy
Lovely Lady" produced by. Wagon
halls and Kemper.
Mr.. Williams wrote an excellent
story not so long ago, in which a
father and son failed to understand
each other. Although advance infor-
nation doesn't even hint that thiS
story is the basis for his Lovely
Lady" there is little doubt that it fur
nishes the lump-in-the-thr element
so necessary for a perfect play, even
though that play be comedy.
AS Washington is the first city to
view the comedy it is a case of walt
and see. Messrs. Wagenhals and
Kemper like Washington. This city
has been unusually kind to them. 1t
was here that ",fhe Bat" and Span
ish Love" back in 1920 won universal
approval by critics and theatergoers.
And because of this, Lovely Lady, Is
given its formal premiere here
The cast assembled includes Bruce
McRae, Carlotta Monterey, Lily Ca
hill Miriam Hopkins and William
Hanley.
Collin Kemper staged the play,
giving it, one is told, an unusual
scenic equipment.
Mr.. Williams is a journalist, novel
ist and historian with at least two
plays that are easy to recall, THE
Stolen Story" and "Why Marry" The
latter was awarded the Pulitzer prize
as the best play of few seasons ago.
And only three weeks ago he was
honored by Michigan VI 'versity with
the Fellowship in creative art. place
formerly held by Robert Bridges, poet
laureate of England. Certainly the
author, the cast and the producers of
Lovely Lady" are ali somebodies.

NATIONAL-"Gunpowder."

"Gunpowder," at the National to-
morrow night, has its first production
on any stage. There are many things
to make this one of the most interest
ing first nights of the budding season.
1t is the first individual offering of
Gene Buck as Independent dramatic
producer.
The. tndefatigable and successful
actor and author, j. c. Nugent. and
his son. Elliott, have written Gun
powder" The paternal Nugent began
it Is years ago, and has kept working
on it until it should be UP to the
minute. The adroit, wary Nugents do
not reveal theme or classification of
me new play. But they relieve sus-
pense by admission that it is not a
war drama, and concerns not explo-
sives. A play of the period, and it's
problems, presumably, with a weave of
crisp, distinctive Nugent comedy and
sa tire. The cast is headed by j. C.
Nugent, who has also staged the play,
and includes Mary Duncan, Frank
Conroy, Sue MacManamy, Fritz VIII
liams, Helen Carew, Frank Thomas
and the Washington child player, Ed
win Mills, a nephew of Mary Eaton.
The stage settings have been COM
posed by Joseph Urban.

week, in the Shubert-Belasco Theater,
for the first time on any stage in this
country and Immediately preceding
the New York engagement Mr.
Sothern's appearance is by arrange
ment with Mr.. Lee Shubert
Additional importance is lent to the
engagement by the fact that 1t marks
the first association of Mr. Belasco
and Mr.. Sothern since the days of the
Lyceum Stock Company in New York
many years ago.
Mr.. Sothern was Mr.. Belasco's Sc
lection to originate the leading role
in this play in this country, and, ac-
cordingly, he held it until this distin-
guished actor was available.

erful- plays written by Brieux, and
scored great continental success 1t

Rescue Parties Ready to Go Below Into Hecla Shaft-Air Compressors Clearing Out Classes.

Wallace, Idaho, April 24.-Hope that the fourteen men entrapped by fire in the workings of the Hecla silver lead mine at Burke, seven miles from here, were still alive and would be rescued from their prison on the lower levels, was expressed by a newspaper correspondent, who returned from the mine shortly after s o'clock this morning.
 He avowed that the imprisoned men are believed to be in the star workings. two miles from the Hecla main shaft.
 Air Compressors were working, 1t was declared to clear the air of the Star workings of any gas and smoke that might have penetrated to that part of the mine and at o'clock the fire pumps were started.
 Rescue Party Ready
 Twenty helmet men of the United States mine rescue forces were on the ground ready to go below.
 The fire started shortly before midnight in the pumping plant at the base of the main shaft on the two thousand foot level, The pump man on duty left his station, it was stated, and when he returned about ten minutes later he found the plant afre. The Star workings extend la terally from the Hecla shaft and mine officials believed today that the airlines that carry fresh oxygen to the miners there were unbrokcn.
 The Only Danger
 The only danger they saw for these men was that they might have attempted to make their escape through the numerous workings in the Hecla proper above the 2ooo- foot level. It they had, the fear was expressed that they might have en- tered the area filled by the poisonous gas and smoke from the fire. No night crew was at work in the Hecla proper.
 The blaze itself, the mine men be- lieved was confined 10 the lower part of the main shaft and with the facilities available thov expected that the damage might be held to q nominal amount.

Sofia Denies DespotisIn But British Sources Tell of Bloody Ter rorism-King Virtual Prisoner.
Greece, Rumania and Jugo- slavia Mobilizing Troops and Military Alliances Are Being Sought.
By The Associated Press.

By Tie Associated Press.
 Dispatches from Sofia continue to minimize the seriousness of the Bull garian situation, but indirect reports from other Balkan centers pictures conditions as grave.
 Balkan states are said to be talk ing military precautions against the spread of the terrorism in Bulgaria which fared to its high mark with the recent attack on King Boris, as- sassination of General Gheorghieff and bombing of the Syeti Kral cathe- dral, where 16O persons were killed.
 Troops Go To Frontier
 Rumania is reported to be moving troops toward both her Russian and Belgian frontiers. Jugoslavia is guarding her border; indirect re- ports say Greece is mobilizIng a part of her army, but will not intervene unless Greek frontiers are threat ened.
 Greece, according to these reports, will regard an increased Bulgarian army as a menace to the Balkan status quo. Greek agents are report ed en route to Belgrade to renew negotiations for a Greek k-Jugoslav alliance.
 .. Intervention Likely
 Rumanian intervention will follow any attempt to establish a commun- ist republic in Bulgaria, 1t is de- clared in dispatches from Bucharest where sensational accounts of the Bulgarian situation have been re- ceiyed
 Belgrade dispatches to London say a serious diplomatic conflict between Rumania and Bulgaria appears pos- sble unless Bulgaria abandons her suspicion of Jugoslav compIicity in the campaign of terrorism in Bull garia. Jugoslav officials deny that assistance has been given Bulgarian assassns.
 Moscow Is Blamed
 Sofia dispatches quote Minister of the Interior Rousseff as declaring that not 1.500 persons have been ar4 rested throughout Bulgaria during the campaign against terrorists. He asserts that Moscow furnished arms and money for the subversives.
 Premier Tzankoft declared the statement attributed to the British labor party members, recently in Sofia, that many had been killed in Bulgaria without trial is sheer calumny." He declared the situation Is calm throughout the country.
 King Prisoner
 Other indirect dispatches, how ever, continue to report that King Boris of Bulgaria is virtually a pris-. oner in the royal palace at Sofia, under General Lazareff, head Of the military junta.
 Sofia continues apparently under virtual martial law The Bulgarian militia is being increased as author- ized by the council of ambassadors at Paris to cope with the situation. and Rumania, Jugoslavia and Greece are protesting that increase.
