Lady Refuses at Capitol Sunday Florodora'
 Ends Tonight

With The Florodora Girl" star ring Marion Davies, showing for the last times tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre, "The Lady Refuses" !" with Betty Compson in the lead ing role, will be the attraction Sum- day, the first presentation being aS the Sunday afternoon matinee.
 "The Florodora Girl" a delight ful romantic comedy of chorus girl life in the "gay nineties," gives Miss Davies splendid opportunity for the exploitation of her engag- ing talents.
 Heroine Is Vamp
 In "The L Lady Refuses" Miss Compson is a "vamp." In the plot she hires herself out to win the love of the hero, vain, selfish and somewhat weak young man, enacted by John Darrow, from a woman skillfully depicted by Mar garet Livingston.
 Throughout the process of en- snaring the boy which she does with the connivance of his father, Miss Compson, gives the audience the feeling that she is wandering into situation tremendous in it's potentialities and one liable at any time to get beyond the control Of it's principals.

FRIENDS SCHOOL
 PROUD OF LINDY
Plans for "Air Calls" in Far East Watched With
 Interest
By HARRY w. ERANTZ United Eress Staff Correspondents

l
 Wa h ng Il. - When Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh pay their friendly lair calls" in far eastern countries, it is certain that no group in the world will follow their ad- ventures With greater interest than students of the Friends school at Washington.
 Lindbergh attended this school. in seventh and eighth grades, during | 1913-14 and 1914-15, and the stu dents and alumni naturally have been eagerly interested in this aero nautical exploits. After his success ful trans Atlantic flight special eXer- cises were held to commemorate the | event.
 But the Friends school also has extraordinary ties of sympathy with the countries of the far east, because of the large number of Japanese, | Chinese and Americans now resident in the Orient, who attended it. The modest brick Schoolhouse on l street, in fact seems peculiarly iden- 1 tified with the development of good , will between the United States and far eastern countries.
 Famous Alumni | Most famous of the school alumni is the Princess Chichibu who grad uated in 1929, few months prior to her marriage. She was the daughter of Ambassador Matsudaira, and during her school years made records for scholarship, athletic pro- ficiency, and personal charm which have become a tradition" at the school. Her sister, Masa. also at tended the school and was exceed ingly popular.
 Children of other distinguished diplomats from eastern countries have attended the institution.
 Julia, daughter of former Chinese minister Alfred Sze, was there six years, and her daughter, Betty, a year, before the minister was trans ferred to London.
 The boys of former Ambassado or Shidehara of Japan attended the school. Last year Nasaru Debuchi, son of the present ambassador of Japan, graduated there, and since has entered Princeton university. The ambassadors daughter, Taka, Is TOW at the school.

 The superintendent of Friends school is Dr Thomas N. Sidwell, also it's founder. The curriculum is sup plemented by an encouragement to
 moral purposes, and particularly the cultivation of friendship and good will among the various peoples of the earth. Since pr SidWell has spent a lifetime intoxicating the thought of International good will in his young charges, the school natur- ally has taken special interest and pride in the former attendance of Colonel Charles A.

FARNUM DENIES FAMOUS SCRAP .
WITH SANTSCHI WAS A GRUDGE

HOLLYWOOD, april II. dj,P) =
The death of Tom Santschi. 81, pio-
neer character actor and screen vii
liam, recalled today how the most
ferocious screen battle Hollywood
ever saw was fought by two men
who temporarily forced their friend
ship to achieve the last word in
realism.
william Farnuln, hero of The
Spoilers when 1t was filmed II
years ago. described the famous
fight as he mourned the death of
Santschi, the screen enemy who was
his friend in real life.
The battle has become a tradition
in Hollywood Modern directors use
1t to inspire their actors. but every
one-players. directors and critics
admit 1t never has been equalled.
Tom and I were young and in
our prime the day we staged the
fight" Farnum said. Contrary to
rumors that never have died in Hol-
lvwood, we were not enemies. He
was one of my finest friends and
I regard him as one of the most in
spring men I have ever known.
"There was tension when We
gathered on the set for the fight.
Cameramen. prop boys and the di-
rector. Colin Campbell. realized
something was in the air. Camp
bell CARED camera and the fight
was on. We started cautiously, but
our blows were hard. Soon blood
was drawn. ! have no idea how long
we fought.
THE script of the Rex Beach
novel called for me to eventually
subdue Santschi with hammerlock,
which was supposed to have broken
his shoulder. I will say that shoul-
Ger practically was useless when the
battle ended"
Farnum said that he and SAINT
schi conferred briefly before they
started to fight.
"I remember we agreed to make
