IN COURT ATTACK
Play Founded on Book Is
Declared to Be Against
Public Policy.
Special Dispatch tn The Star.
nIIII AhIaI DIIIA Do


PHILADELPHIA. Pa, September 3.
~~"Revelry," the dramatiZed version Of
the widely discussed novel, has become
the target Of court action in phila-
delphia, where the play opened last
Monday night.
Spice is lent to the situation by the
fact that the owners and producers of
the piece. Roberts Productions, Ltd,
are trying to engage Owen j. Rob
erts, chief Government attorney in the
Teapot Dome oil litigation, as their
defending counsel.
Would Enjoin Production.
A bill of equity seeking to enjoin
further production of "Revelry" on
any stage, on the ground that it is
the Court of Common Pleas at Phila
delphia on Friday. 1t was submitted
by an attorney named Bernard r.
Cohn, acting for unnamed parties. A
hearing on the application will take
place next Tuesday morning in the
court of Judge Gordon in Philadelphia.
The bill of equity recites that the play
casts aspersions upon a President of
the United States and his ca binet and
holds the Federal Government up to
ridicule and contempt"
The bill further recites that the play
attempts Ito disclose by means of the
spoken word and by innuendo the fact
that former Republican administra
ton reeked with graft and crime"
The defendants named in the bill
are the management of the Garrick
Theater, Philadelphia. where the play
is being produced, the owners of the
theater property and the full acting
cast of the compa n.y. Counsel for the
producers deny that any administra-
ton is attacked in 'Revelry' and as
sert that the play sis without histori-
cal intent"
The piece is scheduled for its first
Broadway production in New York,
September l..
Attorneys for the defendants an
nounce that they will move to have
the case transferred from the local
Philadelphia courts to the Federal
court on the ground of diversity Of
citizenship between plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS.

DISTRICT MAY USE
PRIVATE BUILDINGS
Women's Bureau, House of
Detention and Medical
Clinic Must Move.

Recommendation for the rental of
several privately owned buildings
which could be used to house the
Woman's Bureau of the Police De
partment, the House of Detention and
the Medical Clinic of the Health De.
partment, will be made to the District
Commissioners this week by Mai.
Layson f.. Atkins, assistant engineer
commissioner.
These three activities will be forced
to move from their present locations
to make way for the new Department
of Commerce building to be erected in
the area between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets and f street and Ohio
avenue.
Maj. Atkins was directed by the
commissioners to search Tor quarters
for the three bureaus last week, when
word came from the Treasury Depart
ment that the occupants in the area
had been notified to vacate by October
l. The District, however, was granted
An extension of time in order that
Congress might appropriate funds for
the rental of privately owned build
ings.
None Yet Produced.
A faint hope was held that the
Public Buildings Commission might
nnd temporary accommodations for
the bureaus in some Federal.owned
building. but Maj. Atkins is now con
fldent that the District will have to
locate them in privately owned build
ings. Thus far the commission has
been unable to produce any accom-
modations suitable to the needs of
these activities.
Two of the buildings found by Mai.
Atkins which he expects to recon-.
mend for rental are within walking
distance of the District Building. In
the smaller of the two, he believes the
medical clinic of the Health Depart
ment could be located.
The larger building, he said, could
house both the Woman's Bureau and
the House of Detention. There two
activities could be separated, he point
ed out, but as they are now in the
same building and because of their
close relation. it is desirable to keep
them together.
Must Await Congress.
Should the Commissioners approve
Maj. Atkins recommendations without
delay. none of the bureaus could move
until after Congress convenes and pro-
vides funds for the rental of the
buildings, which will be requested as
special urgent deficiency. The owner
of one of the buildings. however, has
offered to permit immediate occupancy
and take a chance on receiving the
rent later. This offer is not likely to
be accepted. as Maj. Atkins is not
desirous of incurring an obligation of
this kind with no assurance that Con.
gress will provide funds.
