VAUDEVILLE AT STRAND

An exceptionally good vaudeville
program is being offered at the
strand beginning today for the first
man OF the week with the photoplay
feature presenting beautiful Billie
Dove in THE Night Watch"
Among the vaudeville headliners
Is 'he Helen Stanley Revue, with a
cast of five clever entertainers in a
fantastic dance Offering; the Four
Warmers known as The Jazzical
Nautical Songsters,' one of the most
entertaining quartets in vaudeville.
Romano and Castle present Light
and Dark Comedy; Crandall's Bra
zlllan Circus Offering something a
DIT different than the average run
OF vaudeville; and MY Broadway
Hlrl with cast of fast stepping en-
tertainers, full of pep, laughs, and
pretty girls in "A Frolicsome Frivol."
sacrlflce is the theme of THE
Night Watch'-sacrifice between
husband and wife--and from tense
and unusual plot has been woven n
fascinating film drama.
Inc picture, First National pro-
ductlon with the beautiful Billie
Dove in the starring role, began its
local engagement at the Strand the
alter yesterday, and its reception by
audiences at the initial showing in
dictate it will become Miss Doves
most popular picture to date.
The plot is direct and simn,e
one. but its dramatic power is
heightened by its very simplicity and
the characters of the story are few.
Sacrifice of her own reputation
to shield her husband-even though
they are estranged-from an unjust
accusation. is the highpoint of the
story and the events leading up to
1t are both tense and colorful.
On Thursday the vaudeville show
Will be headed by Bob Larry and

that war is unworthy of civilized

Baron Gonsuka Hayashi. former

assembled ENJOYS in Paris to sign a

Il am particularly sratified by the
role played in this achievement by
my old colleague in London, Secre-
tary Kellogg. and l am glad he is in
Paris personally to take part in the
signing.
Il am also glad that Count Uchida
is there in representing Japan. I
believe he is the best available for
that duty since Japan's foreign min

LEAGUE REJ0|CES
ON KELLOGG PACT
Feel That Another Move Toward
Peace is Assured

Geneva, Aug. 81 P-Becauso the
Kellogg pact makes for peace and.
by increasing the sense of interna
uonal security, constitutes a prac,i-
cal incentive to reduction of arna-
ments, its signature today was a
cause of rejoicing at the League of
Nations.
Although the United States has
taken the precaution to point out
that its adherence to the pact in
wolves no future commitments con-
cerning conflicts IN any part of the
world, league officials expressed the
opinion that contamination of the
agreement certainly created a moral
interest and some moral response
blllty for the United States in the
maintenance of peace.
Concretely. officials believe that
Americans would be so disturbed,
and even inccnsed over any nation
aggressively breaking the anti-war
pledge that they would refuse food
and munitions 10 the War-making
country. In other words, the league
believes the United States would not
insist upon its rights of neutrality
and would not bring succor to the
