ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL-'Rebecca of Sunnybrool'
: Farm"

Farm"
Good acting and entertainment is
provided in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm" revived by the National Theater
Players in the E street playhouse last
night.
Harking back to the days when
counting lacked some of the sophisti-
cation it has during the present ''jaZz
age" the production provides sweet
ness in the love scenes which prove a
pleasing contrast to the love making in
more modern plays where counting
seems to be no novelty to either party.
The simplicity of the life of the farm
folk of Maine, where the scenes are
laid, as well as the dignified, gentle,
and kindly sophistication of the Bos-
production, also are pleasing. The lat
ter part is taken by Wilfred Lytell.
Betty Kent, starred as Rebecca, gives
an excellent performance throughout
proving the good judgment of those
who selected her to take the part of
the green country girl and later as the
charming high school graduate of II
years.
The scenes are conferred around the
home of Rebecca's aunt, Miranda
Sawyer, played by Adelaide Hubbard,
with whom Rebecca has gone to live in
order that she might have educational
and other advantages her mother could
not provide for her, due to having been
left widow with seven children.
Although sad at having to leave home
and having to put up with her cranky
cid Aunt Miranda, Rebecca makes good
and even wins the affection of the aunt,
although the latter is reluctant to
show it.
The play closes when Mr.. Laid, the
Prince Charming, like in Rebecca S
favorite fairy story promises to wait a
little while" until Rebecca gets older, to
marry
Adelaide Hubbard, as the old aunt,
does her part well, while Robert Brister,
as Amber Simpson, jack of all trades,
and Charles Hampden, as jeremiah
Cobb, the stage driver, give exception
ally good performances. All others in
the cast depict the characters well. The
list includes:
Freddie Sherman, as Abijah, the
chore boy: Helen Wallace, as Mrs
Simpson, the wife Of Amber; Mary New
ton, as Jane Sawyer, another maiden
aunt Of Rebecca: Ida Garrett Mat
tingly, as Mrs. Perkins, the blacksmith S
wife; Madeline Mcmahon, as Emma
Jane Perkins; Cecilia Carmel, as Min
ME. Smellie; Virginia Davis, as Alice
Robinson, and Beverly Rittenhouse, as

GARDENERS CLEAR
EGGROLL|NG SCARS.
White House Grounds Regain
Quiet and Beauty-47,217
Enjoy Celebration.

Long before noon today, the remains
of yesterdays annual egg-rolling festivi-
ties had been cleared from the rear
grounds of the White House and the
surroundings again had resumed their
customary quiet and beauty.
Fifteen gardeners and laborers went
to work just as soon as the children,
weary from their day of romping over
the lawns, had departed. BY dark the
greater part of the mashed, Squashed
and broken eggs and the countless
pieces of paper and broken baskets and
stuffed Dummies had been removed from
sight. The work was resumed early this
morning, and by the time President
Hoover appeared to stroll to the Execu-
tive Office at o'clock, one never would
have imagined that the grounds had
been so rumpled up and disorderly-
looking only few hours ago.
47,217 Pass Into Grounds.
An actual count kept by Sergt. Clar-
ence Dalrymple of the White House
police showed that 47,217 men, women
and children passed into the rear
grounds yesterday. This is next to the
Easter record established two years ago,
when slightly more than $4,000 were on
hand.
OF yesterdays total, 2S,676 were in
the grounds during the egg rolling,
which came to a conclusion at o'clock
in the afternoon. The remainder arrived
after that hour to view the remains OF
the egg battle and to listen to the band
concert given by the Marine Band and
to witness the folk and Maypole dane
ing by young girls, chiefly from the
Neighborhood and the Friendship
Houses.
This late afternoon dancing was an
innovation for Easter at the White
House. It was Mrs. Hoover's idea and
she, with some of the ladies OF the
cabinet and other personal friends
watched the dancing from the south
portico. The happy young participants
were presented to the First Lady after
ward.
No Casualties Mar Joy.
In spite of the romping on the part
of the thousands of youngsters in the
White House Grounds yesterday there
were no casualties. There was a hos
pital tent erected in the grounds with
several nurses and physicians on hand
to give first aid. One elderly woman
who had accompanied her granddaugh-
ter, tainted. She was treated for sun
stroke
During the day II children were lost
When 1t was all over, the lost children
all had been returned. AS a result
of the cleanup the police now have
in their possession several pocketbooks
shoes, neckpieces, one coat, a white
gold ring, number of little sweaters
and a photograph Of a West Point
cadet.
Despite the tramping down it received
the turf will be none the worse.

SINCLAIR SUBMITS
HIS DEFENSE BRIEF
Oil Man Holds Government Failed
to Disclose Evidence Justifying
His Arrangement for Contempt.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Harry F. Sinclair, convicted with
others of contempt of court for Jury
shadowing in criminal proceedings
against him and Albert B. Fall, for
mer Secretary of the Interior, has filed
a brief in the Supreme Court to be used
at the time his case is reached for oral
argument during the week of April %.
The brief holds that the Government
failed to produce any evidence to show
that any of the acts done by Sinclair
and his associates resulted in obstruct-
ing the administration of justice or
tended to obstruct it, and insists that
under such circumstances the trial
court was without power to hold them
guilty of contempt.
William j. Burns, the detective, and
his son, w. Sherman Burns, who were
sentenced with Sinclair, filed briefs
last week.

 Refers to Decision
 Referring to a recent decision or the circuit court of appeals of the second district at Philadelphia, Judge Dawson said he had not read that courts opinion, but it was his opinion that what that court really decided was that one who purchases liquor is not such an alder or abct ter of the seller as to make him guilty as a seller under-the federal law"
 To that extent, Judge Dawson said in his charge, 'I agree with the opinion, but if that opinion holds that it is not an offense against the national prohibition act for one to purchase liquor without q permit and not on a prescription, then ] cannot agree with it. because l have

HOOVER'S DEFEAT
 LAID 10 COOLIDGE
EX-President'S Tariff Manipula- tiOn Blamed for Senate Action

Washington, Oct. 15--After in heriting such major unsOlved prob lens as farm relief and prohibition enforcement from his predecessor, as well as vexing fiscal worries caus- ed by the Coolidge passion for econ omy, President Hoover recently took his worst licking to date from con- gress when the senate co!dly turnoI down his demand that the flexible provisions he retained in the tariff bill.
 It was rather a smack for Ir. Hoover, but it was also postponed kick for Mir Coolidge. the famous author. The flexible provision, established in 1922, authorized the president to advance or lower dl- ties by as much as 50 per cent upon recommendation of the bipartisan tariff commission. The house bill would have abolished the bi-parti san nature of the commission so as to give the president power 10 stack the commission IS he liked. Mir. Hoover made q strong public plea for retention Of the flexible provision when it appeared 10 be endangered.
 It Was Co0lidgc'S Fault
 But the senate looked back at the administration of the provision by Mr Coolidge, and democrats and progressiyes decided that il had proyed too tempting to alloy them to trust presidents with 2. any more The sad fact is that Mr. Coolidge was too stingy to let the tariff commission play with the thing: he undertook 10 Cajole and threaten the uncontrolled members into letting him use it only as he saw fit, His arrogation was so re- markably thorough that the senate took it away from MT. Hoover.
 If we dig up some of the oli scandal herewith, the backgrOun of the Hoover defeat will be easily explained. This scandal was effec- lively used in debate with the re- suit that unless the house forces it's will on the senate, Mr. Hoover will have no control over duties ex- cept his power 10 veto the bill. The senate provision confines action on the commissions recommendation to congress.
 The manhandling of the flexible provision began with the commis- sion's sugar investigation begin ming in 1929. Coolidge and his friends on the commission, Marvin and Burgess. did all they could 70 delay the investigation, which was pushed by Commissioner Costigan.
