Merry WIDOW Player
In Nel0 MoDie Version

II was inevitable that at least
one member of the original aThe
Merry Widow" company would
appear in the modernized film
version, which is the attraction at
the Monroe Theatre today and to-
morrow. Erich Won Stroheim, who
directed the film for Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer, sent ont a spe-
cial call for players who had act
ed in the original stage presenta-
ton Of the famous romantic light
opera.
Won Stroheir cast Ralph Whit
ing for a small but important part
in @The Merry Widow He plays
an officer in the Kings Life
Guard and has number of scenes
that contribute to the tense drama
Of the story.
In the original company Whit
ing played small role in the first
act and then doubled in an inn
portant role in the Marines
scene. His work, it viii be remem-
bered by those who saw the
piece, made one of the outstand-
ing comedy hits. He played the
tipsy Englishman who meandered
about the cafe and caused dis
turbances generally.
Incidentally, when Won Stro-
helm was selecting players for
"The Merry Widow" over twenty
five applicants stated that they
mad appeared in the original COM
pany. Upon investigation it was
learned that most of them were
IN the chorus of the many road
companies.
THE Merry Widow" was adapt
ed TO the screen by Erich Won

from the famous stage play by

FOREIGN POWERS

No One Faction Able to Gain
ASCendanCy Without
Outside Aid.
By William Philip Simms
Times Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-What
will happen next in c. now de-
ponds almost entirely on the attitude
taken by the great powers.
The southern armies are every
where victorious. The northern, or
Picking, forces are Isurrendering on
all sides or going over to the invad-
ing Cantone e.
Only one thing can now prevent
the southerners from dominating all
China as no faction has done since
the beginning of the republic fifteen
years ago. And that is foreign in
reference.
The troops Of Marshal Wa Pei Flu,
war lord of the Yangtze valley, cen
trail China, have been beaten, leav-
ing the road to Picking wide open.
Marshal Chang Tsoa-Lin, ex-ban
dit, Japanese puppet and overload
of Manchuria, in the north, has
the only real army which stands a
chance Of preventing the capture Of
the capital. And the odds are
Areatly against his doing so, unless
Ne has the backing, open or secret,
of some outside power or powers.
Ready to Strike Chang
For, in addition to the armies
closing in from the south, the we'll

Marshal Changes flank the moment
the southerners begin to attack.
Marshal Feng has only recently
returned from Moscow, giving color
to propaganda that he is a tool Of
the Bolheviks. The truth Is far
more likely to be simply that Feng,
Chinese-like, is getting support
where support is to be found. While
the writer was In Berlin last sum
mer Feng came to Germany looking
for help. Germany however, had
entered the agreement not to furnish
arms and munitions to any Chinese
faction without the consent Of the
Picking government, and Feng re-
ceived little encouragement. So he
moved to Moscow, where, likely
enough, he met with better success.
But his acceptance of aid from that
quarter does not necessarily mean
anything, one way or another, save,
perhaps, that all Is grist that comes
to the mill. For the Fengs have a
program of their own.
The southern, or Kuomintang, or
peoples party, the party Of the late
American-trained DR.. Sun Yat-Sen
has just issued a restatement Of its
purposes. It categorically denies Il
