JANE. COWL In
NEW ROLE AT
MATINEE

Miss Jane Cows special mat.
inee appearance in Stephen Phil
lips romantic drama, ''Paolo and
Francesca, is scheduled for Fri.
day afternoon, at Polls Theater.
The widely read Phillips classic,
which has not been staged in
Washington for over two decades,
affords Miss Cowl an interesting
companion role to her memorable
Juliet.
The play Is a romance OF 18th
century Italy, centering on
Francesca, the lovely young
daughter of the Lord of Ravenna,
who was given in marriage to
Giovanni, Lord of Rimini. on con-
clusion of peace between the two
houses. The innocent. convent
bred maid falls in love with the
young and handsome Paolo. ''Un-
willingly they loved, unwilIingly
j slew Them" are the words
Giovanni pronounces over their
bier.
The poetic beauty and emo.
tional sweep of "Paolo and Fran
cesca" are nobly rendered by Miss
Cowl and her exceptionally fine
supporting company, which in
cludes Miss Helen Ware as Luz
crezia, Sir Guy Standing az Clio
vanni. and Charles Brokaw as
Paolo. Notable Characterization
are also contributed by Miss
Jessie Ralph as blind Angela, and
Miss Joyce Carey as the gay Nita.
The picturesque period settings
were especially designed for this
production by Eleanor Fustis.

repair the space between the tracks ano

rendered Judgment today against the
claim of the District OF Columbis
against the Georgetown and Tennally-
town Railroad Co. and the Washington
Railroad Co. for S74.23S55 for chang
Ing the location OF the tracks on WIS.,

Assistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart is expected to appeal the case
for the District.
The decision of Justice Stafford Il
expected to have a far-reaching effec'
and result in the saving of thousands
of dollars to the street railway CON-
panies in the near future In view oil
the comprehensive plans now under way
to relocate the car tracks in the Penn
sylvania avenue triangle and the Capt.
tai Plaza.
Cost Estimate High.
While no estimate has yet been made
of the probable cost of rearranging thu
tracks in the area under development
by the Federal Government south Of
Pennsylvania avenue, engineers of the
railway companies calculated some tint
ago that the track changes proposed
In the Capitol plaza improvement pro-
gram as outlined in a bill pending ir
Congress would cost about S750.000
The latter project calls for the location
of the tracks now on C street, Della.
ware avenue and First street northeast
In a subway under G street. The bill
provides that the cost shall be borne
jointly by the Capital Traction and
washington Railway 81 Electric COM
panies.
In the past the cost of relocating car
tracks has been a minor item, due to
the fact that comparatively little work
of this nature has been done. The
relocation of the tracks on Wisconsin
avenue, on which Justice Stafford
based his decision. and the removal OF
the tracks on B1adensburg road five
years ago have been major projects.
Opinion by Stafford.
In the course Of his opinion. Justice
Stafford said:
The question for consideration is
not the power of the Legislature to re-
quire the street railway to pay the cost
of reIaying its tracks or of relaying the

present that the Legislature had such
power, has 1t manifested clear In
tention to exercise it? As the cost OF

Rehsaring of the case In which the

that the act of the 1927 Maryland

Case Begun in 1928.
Should the rehearing be denied by
