WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--Two
new senatorial Investigations, each
of which may rival the oil inquiries
of 1924, in sensational ramifi.
cations, were in prospect today as
Congress started it's Christmas re-
cess.
Both cases hinge ON foreign
affairs, one dealing with oil and one
with alien property.
The first inquiry. resolution for
which already has been adopted by
the Senate, has to do with oil in
Mosul, Asiatic Turkey. recognized
b. international relations experts as
one of the danger spots of the
old world. The inquiry, proposed by
Senator King Dem). Utah, will deal
with reports that American oil in
terests, seeking concessions in the
rich Mosul fields, influenced negotia-
ton of the Lausanne treaty restor-
ing diplomatic relations with Turkey,
and that the same oil interests,
which include the Standard Oil Com.
pany. are leading the campaign for
ratification OF the treaty, now pend
ing in the Senate.
The second prospective investiga-
ton will go into charges by Senator

Out through the snow the TIMES
stepped, bound for the barn where
Santa kept his team Of wondrous
RENDERS. Gee, they all could hardly
wait. A smile spread DER each little
face, for when they finally reached
the place, old Santa shouted, Here
we are" Then opened up a gate.
The barn was on little mound,
and when the sliding doors were
found, the Tinymites all lent hand
and pushed them open wide. The
sight they saw was quite show.
A lot of RENDERS in n row. OF
course it didn't take them long to
scamper right inside.
Now, all get busy" Santa said.
There's harness for each RENDERS
head, and other bits that fit upon
their bodies good and tight. We've
got to hurry right along. Be careful,
now. don't DO it wrong. 'Tls better
that you watch me first, so you can
do it right"
Then Santa got some harness out.
He knew the way. without doubt,
to hitch his frisky RENDERS so that
they could pull his sleigh. The rein
deers stopped their little feet. The
hitching process seemed a treat. Per-
haps it thrilled them all to know
they'd soon be on their way.
The TIMES nearly had a fit till
they could join, and help bit. Then,
as they worked together. course the
work was shortly done. And now the
sleigh was fixed all right for Santa's

agreed that they had had lot Of

nobly and convincingly.
Any who saw Frank Craven in
his own production certainly will
not be disappointed in witnessing
the National troupe's interpreta-
ton of "The First Year." A we'll
filled house last night roared al
most OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES there
are some moments when laughter
isn't in order.
The play itself is a masterpiece
Of theatricalism. In its smooth
running, one does not sense the
creaking Of the playwright's ma.
chinery. One simply laughs, and
enjoys the moments Of well-writ-
ten comedy, the interludes Of ten
der foolishness and the real social
tragedy, underlying the theme,
threatening the marital welfare
of two young souls.
The plays about Tommy and
Grace and Dick. Dick is the de-
feated rival for Grace's hand.
Tommy is q bit OF a dumb-bell.
He's more than bit of a hick.
Tommy and Grace get married
and go to live in the metropolis
of Joplin, Mo. Here Tommy en-
cages in the real estate business,
and is on the verge of executing
a coup when Dick butts in and
blah-blahs a good deal, and nearly
spoils everything. Tommy bawls
out his wife and gets drunk, and
Grace goes home. And then what?
Leneta Lane and John Warner
fitted splendidly into the roles of
Grace and Tommy. Their pains
and pleasures often seemed very
real and near. Romano COLLEEN
der fitted splendidly into the role
of Dick. Charles Hampden gave
a noteworthy performance as
Grace's father, and Mrs. Hubbard
as her mother.
Kathryn Givney wrung every
drop Of wit out of her lines, and
treated the customers to some real
acting. while Dorothy Tierney, all
BACKED up, was riotously funny
in the part of Hattie. Percy Win
ter and David Munro turned in
fine work. Everybody fitted
splendidly into their roles, and
the sets were o. K, and the
lighting was great, and everybody
had good time, especially when
Tommy got drunk and told Hat
tie not to get married until the
second year. You can't sit through

WARDMANITES IN
HARRINGTON
COMEDY

Director Herbert Is putting glee-
fully on his perennial cigar to-
day. Cause? The excellent first
night showing made by the Her.
bert Troupers when they present
ed Booth Tarkington's delightful
and sarcastic comedy, "Tweedles,
at the Wardman Park Theater.
The play could not have been
more wisely chosen. Harrington
sketches 1t with an inside knowl-
edge OF the tight-lipped folk of
the New England hinterlands, who
read the Bible, come of old FAM
lilies, till the soil and otherwise
make known to an expectant
world that they are alive. Char
acter bits sparkled all through the
performance which, with another
night Of perfecting smoothness OF
action, will go over like a truck
load Of cement.
Take an elderly lady who wears
her hands clutched in q haro
lap and her lips in straight line,
n brother who reads the Bible,
is righteous and family proud,
and give unto their unamiable
care q tender young girl to raise
from childhood. Enter the hero:
A Illustrated youth, son OF q
moustached gentleman who wears
spats ana iron-gray hair and q
woman who ia 40, and who speaks
in studiously aloof and dulcet
tones. There you have It. A
prize to anyone who guesses the
outcome, small children excepted.
Ranald Slavery steals the piece,
attic and cellar, with his char
acterization Of the flustered
youth, and finally manages, after
much suffering and serious hui
NOR, to take ''Winsory," the
aforementioned lass, for walk.
Ruth Russell plays ''Winsory"
carefully and well. Adam Twee-

sory's love match, Is a jewel
with Arthur Rhodes doing the
polishing while Parker Fennelly

STILL A MARKET

Recently, after finishing the
adaptation and continuity on
''The Volga Boatman" for Cecil

wrote an original story called
For Alimony Only" which she
submitted to a studio scenario
department.
Within three days she re-
ceived a letter requesting the
purchase price and before eve
ming she had receiS ed her check
for the transaction. To add to
her good fortune, Miss Coffee
was selected to write the adapta-
ton and continuity for this
story, which will serve as Le-
atrice joys next vehicle, under
the direction Of William DeMille.
There is no basis for the
statement that the original story
is passe, so long as it con-
tains an idea which can be de-

affirns Miss Coffee.
