The play that engages the at
tention of the National Theater
Players this week, Interference,
contains the aforementioned line.
It may, in a way, give an ink
ling of the thematic content OF
the play; and 1t may not.
The moment the curtain goes up
on interference" it establishes
itself as a mighty fine work OF
the theater. There is surprise
for all who sit in on the open
ing They will believe, as all
audiences in the past have be-
1ieved, that they are about to
witness the common, ordinary
run of English drawing-room
comedies. They are in for a sur.
prise. What they see enacted
before their eyes is what one
able dramatic critic in London
referred to as inverted melo-
drama
Now the Americans always
have been called masters of melo-
drama" This type OF play origi'
ndIGO III EAA1GLh(as LIZ NAN NAASN~
ter was chock full of villains,
and heroes and heroines, who
had quite a time of it.
Interference" although billed
as melodrama, is not exactly
that kind of a play. Its villain
doesn't wear black whiskers. nor
carry gun. It's hero is just a
plain, ordinary man, and its
heroine a very.much ,harassed
woman.
interference" the work Of
two English playwrights-Roland
Portwee and Harold Deerden,
played a year in London before
it was brought over to this coun-
try by Gilbert Miller, head of
the house of Frohman. The play
had it's American premier here
in Washington. 1t went from
here to New York, where it
proved to be the sensation of the
season. Now 1t comes to the
National, the first time it has
been released for stock produc.

 AeliRst Urqahlrt

Judgment has been rendered for the defendant In the action brought in city court by Joseph Mancini. through Thomas F. McDonough to collect $500 damages from Angus J. Urquhart. as the result of an e. cident on November 1s last at the intersection of Park and Elm streets. this city. in which the plaintiff was struck and injured by an autome- pile driven by the defendant. The case was tried Tuesday and Judge Henry P. Roche rendered his decis- ion today.
 The court found that, according to the evidence. the plaintiff. Mancini, started to cross the street while the traftic light was green and kept go- ing. even though the light turned when he was part way across, with out taking any precautions n to whether or not the automobiles which were stopped because. of the light. had started up. He ran di- rectly in front of ono car and es. caped being hit and then came die rectly in front of the car of Urau- hart and was knocked down. ,1
 Judge Roche said: "As 1t appears that he did not use such ordinary care as an ordinarily prudent man would use in . like situation. and that his lack of care was . proxi- mate cause of hiainjuries. hence hs was guilty of contributary negfl- gence end judgment must be for the defendant to recover his costs"

FRAUD NOT PROVED
 IN STORE TRANSFER
But Court Rules Rose nuraWski
 Must Pay $s00 Note

Judgment for the plaintiff on the defendants cross complaint and for the plaintiff to recover tho sum of $211.2S. together with the costs of the action from the defendant, Rose Murawski. and judgment in favor of Adolph Abucewicx to recover his costs has been rendered by Judge Morris D. Sake of tho city court in the suit of Nick Farion against Rose Murawski. alias Rozalia Murawski, alias Rose Abucewicz, alias Rozalia Abucewicz and others.
 The complaint was based on . claim on g promissory note against the defendant. Rose Murawski, and the court was further asked to de- clar . transfer of store premoses from the defendant. Rose Murawski, to the defendant. Adolph Abuce- wicz, fraudulent and void on the ground that the tranfer was made to hinder. delay and defraud the plain- ttf. The defendant, Rose Murawski, filed . cross complaint, claiming $Sl.20 upon an account stated.
 The court found that the defend- ant, Rose Murawski. may have in- tended to put her property beyond tho reach of her creditors and may have intended to defeat the plain tiff's claim and to prevent his recov- cry thereon. but the testimony pre- sented on that point was very meager. In the judgment of the court the testimony was insufficient to establish the fraudulent intent as claimed by the plaintiff. There was no evidence sufficient to esta blish the cross complaint of Rose Muraw. ski.
 The original attachment, issued by B. J. Monkiewicz. was for $l00. The plaintiff claimed that the defendant, Rose Murawski. executed q note for $200 and that it was unpaid at the time the suit was brought. He fur- ther claimed that Rose Murawski transferred to the defendant, Adolph Abucewicz. a store at e49 Washing ton street and that the transfer was made for no consideration and for the purpose of defrauding the plain- tiff and defeating the plaintiffs right to collect the note.
 The court found that the note for $:0o was unquestionably signed by the defendant, Rose Murawski. for | sufficient legal consideration.
 Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of &s1t.s5 has been rendered by Judge Hensy F. Roche in city court in the action of Gordon Bros. against George George and others of Torrington. The judgment was ren- dered in favor of the plaintiff be- cause of the fact that the defend- ants failed to appear at trial. Mon- roe 8. Gordon represented Gordon Brothers.
