Gentlemen:
You have submitted to me the
following questions:
81. Is there - in the United
States - a difference as to their
legal rights between chartered
and unchartered organizations
which are not operated for pc
cuniary gain?
2. Has an unchartered organi
zation the right to make lega
and binding agreements in th'
United States?
3. Can an agreement, entered
into by such an organization will

closed on a legal holiday Memo
rial Day. be declared falsun
by the party of the second part
after having received and en-
joyed the benefits evolving ou
of that agreement"
Replying to these questions
my opinion is as follows:
Cd There is some differenc
between chartered and unchart
cred organizations not operate
for pecuniary gain, but for sue.
purposes as are involved in tn
subject Of your inquiry, there j
no difference.

(2) I understand the organiza-
tion in question at the time the
"Pittsburgh Pact was entered
into was an organization having
a Constitution, Bylaws, officers,
ETC., though not chartered by the
State. For the purpose Of taking
the action which was taken, such
an organization would have all
the necessary power as fully as if
it had been chartered.
(3) The agreement entered in
to by the unchartered organiza-
ton referred to would be just as
effective as if entered into with
a chartered organization and just
as valid if closed on Memorial

A glorious evening for the old
guard of the guild Of theater-
goers was vouchsafed last evening
at the Rapley- Cochran playhouse
when Mrs. Fiske entered upon
the final lap of her repertoire

Sharp"
The glamour of the play re-
mains, even though age mas
dimmed it's brilliance; and the
great player who created the role
of the immortal adventures of
Thackeray is still in the forefront
OF the American theater, linking
the new generation to the old

any other actress.

cient to make the presentation
last night one of the real high
lights Of the season.
Suffice it to that the perform
ance was excellent; that Mrs
Fiske disported herself in what
is in many respects the greatest
role of her career; and that
''Becky Sharp" will be repeated
at the National this afternoon
and evening. A word to the

CONRAD NAGEL
In SCREEN
'DU BARRY

Some years ago a young man
listened anxiouSly in the wings Of
the old Princess Theater in Des
Moines, Iowa. Fay BANTER, the
star, gave him his cue and Con-
rad Nagel made his stage debut.
Today Conrad Nagel Is a fa-
nous screen favorite. His latest
role is opposite Norma Talmadge
in her United Artists starring
picture, "Du Barry Woman of
Passion" the intimate screen
story of the most famous siren
Of history, now on view at Loew'S
Palace Theater.
Nagel was born in DeS Moines,
the son Of DR.. Frank Nagel, Q
noted composer and pianist. His
mother was a concert singer.
AS young man looking for q
career Nagel decided to become
an architect. The nearest he
got to that ambition was a sum-
mer job laying bricks at a dollar
day. He tried other vacation
jobs during his school days.
Once he was a key clerk, at an
other time a telephone operator.
He graduated from Highland
Park College with a degree. In
college he had achieved a reputa-
ton as an entertainer. That
pointed him toward the stage.
After a season as a reader he
played his first part with the
Princess Stock Company.
During the var he served as
a seaman and upon his discharge
in 1918 began his motion picture
career in Little Women"
In the Talmadge picture he

and mighty realistic.
The humor of the piece, and
there are many hearty laughs
throughout the play, is not
dragged in just for laughs, but
is part of the story. Every bit
is acted for all it is worth. AS
the police inspector, Leo Curley
gives a fine performance of a
difficult role. Others in the
cast are Jack Byrne. Virginia
Curley, Hugh Duffy, Marie Pet
tbs, William T. Hayes, Edward
Everett Hale, Wall Spence, Ralph
Simone. Maude Nolan, and many
others.
