elderly husband with a voice taunt-
ingly thrilling. And then-the
shadow again. Well selected gowns
Of white satin, red silk and black
satin trimmed in gold matched in
character her portrayal Of a chic
young wife-but Ethel Barrymore is
well. changed.
THE malice Of good thing is the
barb that makes it stick" says Lady
Teazle, and the adhering quality Of
Sheridan'S time-humbled comedy
bears proof
Written with pen well moistened
in satire, the play prods the ageleSs
scandalmongers full of ironic holes.
Brimming with epigram, it remains
aptly Quotable in the best society.
Besides Miss Barrymore. who still
has the ability to make you enjoy
hearing and watching her, credit
must go to Walter Gilbert as the
profligate Charles Surface, to Charles
H. Crocker-King for his Sir Peter
Teazle and to Harry Plimmer for his
Sir Oliver Surface.
All three offer exceptional per-
formances. Mr.. Gilbert brings an
amiable gentility to his interpreta-
tion Of the roistering philanderer,
ready to sell his ancestry to help
a poor relative. Mr. Crocker-King
sent many husbands away last night
thinking perhaps their lot is not so
bad after ALL And who can help but
warm to the uncle who makes you
forget he is acting when he warns
to the nephew who has been villified
to him. when he finds that nephew
will sell all the family portraits but
that Of dear Uncle Oliver.
Though in a different tempo from
the vigorous comedies that are
penned today. THE School for Scan
dali remains entirely satisfying en-
tertainment. particularly for those
mature souls who think Of young
girlhood as day Of heavily ruined
dresses and blushes.
The first act opened last night in
a little too much of hurry. but the
actors realized they had the slow
expository beginning to put behind
them before the dramatic interest
rose and you began to wonder about
it all. TOO many side glances at the
audience on the part of the minor
actors detracted. too.
But when you get the mood Of the
playa mood in gayOtte tempo
you'll enjoy 1t as much as the dear
old lady who sat near the front last
night and kept good time to the
minuet music that closed the OPEN

President ,Hoover's unanimously ap-
plauded appointment Of Benjamin N.
Cardozo to the Supreme Court COM
pletes list of popular selections for
prominent places he has made this
year.
With one exception, there has been
no substantial opposition to any OF the
important choices by the Chief Execu-
tive during the present Congress. In
the last Congress nominations were one
of the leading items in the bitter and
protracted conflict between the Presi-
dent and the Senate.
Recalls Parker Fight.
There was the notable fight on Fed
eral Judge John j. Parker Of North
Carolina, whose nomination for the
Supreme Court was defeated, making
way for the acceptable Owen j. Roberts.
Almost as great was the losing attack
on Charles Evans Hughes, who became
Chief Justice over the opposition of the
same wing of opinion which now is
pleased with him, and enthusiastic over
Judge Cardozo.
The Power Commission appointments
and those to the Tariff Commission
added to the siege Of bitterness; the
first leaving a backwash of court action
(over George Otis Smith, chairman) I,
which has not ended yet.
BY contrast this session one nominee
after another has been approved in rec
ord time. with almost no dissent uttered
The list includes Andrew w. Mellon,
Ambassador to London; Ogden Mills,
Secretary of the Treasury; Theodore
Roosevelt, Governor General of the
Philippines, and line of others. The
one reappointment to the Power Com
mission found no objection to Claude l..
volved in the previous row. Two Tariff
Commission selections brought oppoSi-
tion of so slight character as to have
no effect.
Wilkerson Exception.
Only the selection Of Judge James H.
Wilkerscn of Chicago for promotion to
the Circuit Court of Appeals has brought
strong labor protests. with the Senate
issue still unsettled.
The reception a>-ed the Cardozo
nomination >5ures unopposed con-
firnaation. The Judiciary Committee,
headed by Senator George Norris OF
Nebraska. will take up the selection at
its meeting next week, according to
present plans, and report its approval
Immediately. The Senate will then lose
no time In clearing Cardozo's path to
the place vacated by the revered Oliver

SENATORS REJECT
APPEAL FOR MOONEY
Committee Holds Congress Has No
Right to Intervene in Califor.
MIA Bombing Case.

Congress has no authority to inter-
vene in the case of Thomas Mooney
and Warren Billings, now serving
prison sentences in California in con-
nection with the 1916 Preparedness day
bombing in San Francisco, the Senate
Judiciary Committee decided yesterday.
In report to the Senate, Chairman
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, said that
in the committees judgment the
matter is without the jurisdiction of
the Senate and the Congress is without
authority to pass any effective legisla-
ton in the premises
It is felt the case is purely State
affair.
The committee did decide by
very close vote to ask the Senate to
have printed as a public document the
report Of three Wickersham Commission
experts condemning the arrest and
prosecution as marked by violations
of law.
This report was never accepted by the
commission and had not been made
public until the Senate formally
demanded it several weeks ago. At
that time the report was referred to the
Judiciary Committee for its consider
alton of possible action.

Opposition to all suggestions for Fed

night by Representative Frederick W.

of the House Civil Service Committee.
in a speech before the Federal Bar A.:
sociation at the University Club.
Dallinger said slashes in Government

gress at this session.

as theory, many activities would be
consolidated. For instance. there would
be one flying field for both the Army
and Navy, instead Of two different ones

To help solve the parking problem

A concurrent resolution. indorsing Gov.

RO0SEVELT'S SON
BEGINS CAMPAIGN
Opens Drive in Massachu-

to Support Father.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, February 16.-James j.
Roosevelt, lieutenant in the forces of
his fathers army Of supporters for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
yesterday unfurled the family battle
flag in the face Of the Massachusetts,
enemy. >.
Young Roosevelt fired the opening
salvo in a campaign for delegates to
the national convention pledged to his
father, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The supporters Of the New York
Governor will wage a vigorous cam
paign and they carried notice of their
intent to the enemy headquarters-the
Office Of the Smith-supporting Gov.
Joseph B. Ely.
With Strabo v. Claggett, candidate
for lieutenant governor at the last
election, James went to the Governors
| Office and announced their drive. Ely
smiled and said: That's good"
Son May Seek Seat.
Later Claggett said that he, Mayor
James M. Curley of Boston and Mayor
John j. Murphy of Somerville would
probably seek election as delegates at
large and lit was also possible that
Michael OLeary. formerly Of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, and John
Backus Of New Bedford.
James sounded the call to arms at
Lowell while addressing the Kiwanis
Club.
Democratic circles were set aflutter
by the sudden attack of the Roosevelt
forces, which many expected to remain
| out OF the contest because of the pre-
dominance of Smith men in Massachu-
sets.
The Rooseveltians refused to say
whether the New York Governor had
| authorized the campaign.
At Lowell the Kiwanians were told
by the younger Roosevelt that his
| rather had the most united backing of
any Democratic nominee
BY coming into SSachuSetts we do
not intend to belittle Mr.. Smith or anv
other candidate. As a matter of fact
we feel that Mr.. Smith has been
great leader Of the Democratic party
since the last presidential campaign
ana that he has done much to deserve
the popularity he has been accorded
here in the East.
EAST Only One Section
I'VE must all remember the Fast is
only one section of this country and the
vast population of the South and West
Is just as much entitled to its opinions
as we who live in the East. The time
is ripe for a change and all parts of the
country must be united in so far as that
is possible
Gov. Roosevelt at the present time
mas the most united backing of anv
OF the candidates who have been men
toned as possible presidential candi-
dates.
1T IS we'll that we have a man with
a strong Eastern background as our
candldate and when we have such a
man with the strong backing in other
sections as Gov. Roosevelt, my father.
mas we should and will do all that
we can to secure his nomination and
eventual election"
When the scene Of action changed
to the State House Claggett took
charge. He told Ely Of the intentions
OF the Roosevelt proponents. He said
| the campaign would be pushed in every
| district for the election of delegates.
The only outstanding Democratic
leader Of the State who heretofore
had declared for Roosevelt was Mayor
| Curley.
