AUTOGRAPH HUNTER FAILS
 TO GET SHAW'S SIGNATURE

LONDON, April 30.-American ingenuity has failed to get George Bernard Shaw's signature.
 During the campaign for funds to provide home and sustence for Sir William Watson, English poet, a $2 check was received from Am erica and made out in ShaW's favor
 The effort to secure an auto graph was so obvious that Shaw's secretary endorsed the check, George B. Shaw" as he often does, minimizing the value of the signature.

of lawyer. Should he hold in
confidence the information given
him by a client, thereby condemn
ing a man whom he knows to be
innocent to be executed, or should
he break his word with his client
and save the innocent man? The
lawyers problem is complicated by
the fact that he is in love with the
sister of his client and to expose the
latter would ruin his chances with
the girl. Further pressure is
brought to bear on the lawyer when
he refuses, in front Of his sweet
heart. to undertake q plea for the
condemned man
Throughout the play the drama
tic suspense is heavy, and for this
reason an exceptionally capable
cast was chosen for the play. Give

lawyer, with Fay Wray as his
sweetheart. Richard Arlen is the
man wrongly condemned and
Charles Rogers is the brother
whose secret the lawyer holds. Jean

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

AS you probably know, Chanel,
that Partisan designer of first
rank, is now in Hollywood. She
has gone there to design clothes
for stars of the screen, but she
has not committed herself as to
what she intends to have them
wear. With this added interest
in Chanel, we were especially
pleased to find one of her
newest and best suits copied in
a Washington shop.
Fur EncircleS Sleeves
The newest thing about this
suit is that the fur is used on
the sleeves instead of on the
collar. Not that fur has de-
serted collars, but it is just a bit
newer when it bands the sleeve
just below the elbow. This suit
boasts bands of soft gray fox.
Another novel feature is that
there are detachable sleeves
that may be put on below the
fur band, making long sleeves,
or, if you prefer, you may wear
three-quarter sleeves, ending at
the bands Of fur.
Gray Is a Spring Color
Gray has always been consid-
cred a spring color. but has dis
appeared from the color chart
for several years. 1t is now back,
however, stronger than it's been
for years, and good in both
sports and dress versions. This
suit is of a Spongy gray woolen.
The narrow roll collar was origi-
mated by Vionnet, but is now
used as much by Chanel as
9th designers as by the origi-
nator. The diagonal closing Of
the jacket is new, as is the sash
belt that buckles in a soft, flat.
tering line.
A gray flat crepe blouse &C
companies this suit, and, as the
whole costume is in mono
tone, it offers good opportunity
to introduce color in the acces-
sories. It will be easy to work
out an ensemble of great indi-
viduality with black, brown or
navy as the basic accessory
colcr. The suit is also very
easy to wear, as are most of
the clothes designed by Chanel.

Quick RELIEF FROM

That is the joyful cry of thou
sands since DR.. Edwards produced
Olive Tablets. the substitute for
calomel.
Dr. Edwards. a practicing physi-
clan for 20 years, and calomel's old.

for Olive Tablets while treating pa
tents for chronic constipation and
torpid livers.
Olive Tablets do not contain Gallo
mel. Just a healing, soothing veg
etable laxative safe and pleasant.
No gripping is the keynote" of
these little sugar-coated olive-col.
ored tablets. They help cause the
bowels and liver to act normally.
They never force them to unnatural
action.
If you have a dark brown
