Wednesday and Thursday

"LA BoHEME, with Lillian Gish and John Gilbert, will un- doubtedly have an enthusiastic re- ception.
 The New York Times had the following to say of this late screen success:
 "The charming pic rial tran scription of La Boheme, which was directed by King Yidor, pro- dueer of The Big Parade, was presented last night at the En- bassy Theatre before a brilliant gathering. It is a photoplay of ex- quisite beauty, an effort that con- stant1y stirs the emotions, and the performances of the principals, Lillian Gish and John Gilbert, are unriYaled in a romance of this type. You find yourself happy in the joy of Mimi and Rodolphe; you sympathize with them in their cheerless abodes, and you may find tears in your eyes when their hearts are bowed down with sad ness. Miss Gish is marvelously clever in her portrayal of Mimi. MT. Gilbert shows throughout that he is thinking the part. You can detect it in his eyes, and the same earnest effort is made by Miss Gish She is dainty, delicate and timid. Renee Adoree, who plays the principal feminine part in The Big Parade is effective as the cheerful, comfortably dressed but careless Musette. Here is a picture in which Mr. Vidor demon strates that in length there is strength-that is in the length of the scenes. It is a production which is virtually flawless and one that will do its share to bring the screen to a higher plane"

PRESIDENT URGES
VOTE ON NOMINEES
Utilities Appointees May Get
Recess Posts if Not
Acted On.

President Coolidge sent word to the
District committee of the Senate to-
day that he would appreciate it If some
action is taken between now and the
adjournment of Congress on Friday,
on the nominations of Benjamin F..
Adams and John w. Childress to be
members of the public utilities com.
mission of the District and of Ralph
d. Fleharty to be peoples counsel for
the commission.
At the Capitol, meanwhile. the
nominations were still waiting for
action by the Senate subcommittee
when the Senate met this morning
Belief was expressed in reliable
quarters at the Capitol that if the
nominations are reported out of com
mittee before tomorrow there will be
time left for the Senate to act before
the gavel falls Friday. The subcom.
mittee had not decided at noon. how
ever, when it would meet
President Summons Senator's.
Becoming impatient at the apparent
delay on the part of the District COM
mittee in disposing of these nomina-
tions and fearful that Congress will
end with no action having been taken
on these appointments. the President
summoned to the White House Sem
ators Jones of Washington and Sack
EFT OF Kentucky, the Republican mem
bers of the subcommittee of three of
the District committee, which sub
committee has been handling the nom-
nations in question. The President is
Known to have expressed to the SEN
ators his desire for quick action and
to have requested them to use every
means to obtain some action between
now and Friday on these appoint
ments
The President was represented aft
erwards as having said that these an
pointments to the Public Utilities Com
mission were made in absolutely good
faith and that the men selected, by
MIN were believed toebe high standing
and thoroughly competent to serve in
the capacities to which he had an
pointed them. Also, the President re-
minded his callers that the Senate has
had these nominations sufficiently
long TO permit investigations and in
qulrles and that unless there was
some very good reason for further de-
lay ne saw no reason why the nomt-
nation should not be disposed of at
least one way or the other,
Embarrassment Is Feared.
The President is understood to have
mentioned the fact that there will be
considerable embarrassment and CON
fusion experienced in the event these
nominations are not acted upon. He
considers it highly important to have
these officers serving on the newly
created Public Utilities Commission
In order that that body might func-
tion in the manner in which Congress-
prescribed when it amended the util.
tiles act.
1t is not known whether the Presi-
dent went so far as to inform these

u. S. STANDS ALONE
|. IN SHANGHAI CRISIS
Chamberlain, However, Is
Cautious in Defining Ameri-
can Policy to Commons.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 2.-The ques-
ton of whether the United States is
cooperating with the British authori.
ties in the defense of the international
settlement at Shanghai was raised in
the House of Commons today. Sir
Austen Chamberlain, foreign secre'
tary, told questioners that the United
States was acting independently in
defense Of it's own interests in China.
There is no rivalry between the
United States and ourselves" declared
the foreign secretary. "They act as
an independent power and as they
think proper" 9
Sir Joseph Hall asked whether this
meant that the United States was un-
prepared to take action in the defense
of nationals oe other countries.
Cautious i'm Comment.
"No. ! have not said that, responded
Sir Austen. He added that he was
not inclined to define the attitude Of a
foreign power in unconsidered answers
to such questions.
Replying to another query, heNsaid
that in view of the delicate situation
at Shanghai British troops had taken
up precautionary positions along a
defensive line partly outside the limits
of the international settlement. Italian
forces We're collaborating with the
British in this operation.
AT another point during the discus
sion the foreign secretary said Great
Britain would continue to maintain an
attitude of strict neutrality in the
struggle between the contending
Chinese forces.
