STRAND THEATER
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

How does a man die of cyanide
poisoning?
What clues would he leave?
What kind of plants grow in
English backyards?
Does an Englishman put ice in
his highballs?
These are a few of the questions
which caused the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer studio to employ doctor,
a detective, botanist and even
a former English barman to work
out authentic details for their lat
est mystery thriller, Payment De-
Iferred," which shows at the Strand
Theater tonight.
Payment Deferred" is thrill
er based on a perfect crime"
which is never detected. The plot
takes an ironical twist, however,
when the murderer, who escapes
conviction for his real crime, is
punished for a crime of which he
is innocent but of which he is
found guilty because of circum-
stantial evidence.
Charles Laughton, who appeared
as the murderer in both the Lon
don and New York stage versions
of the drama, repeats his cele-
brated role in the screen version.
Neil Hamilton and Maureen 0'Sul-
livan have the romantic leads and
important roles are filled by Doro-
thy Peterson as the murderer's
wife. Verree Teasdale, as an I'M
Escrnpnlous French milliner, and
Ray Midland as the rich nephew
who brings about the whole trag-
|edy.

GENEVA, Feb. 16 Q.N.S0.- -
The League of Nations Council
tonight reached a definite deci-
sion to send "the strongest note
in it's history" to Japan in a
final effort to bring about peace
in the Far East.
The Leagues note, it was
learned, will inform Japan in
blunt terms that advantages
gained by violence cannot be
maintained"
Decision to send the note to
Tokyo was reached after two
hours of bitter wrangling by the
Leagues Council of Twelve"
Germany and Jugoslavia had de-
manded that the note be sent
simultaneously to China and
Japan, but other members in
sisted the communication would
have no object unless dispatched

MELLON SEES
EX-W|FE AGAIN
By MARGARET LANE


A romantic rumor has for the
last six months been lowering
round the venerable white head
Of Andrew w. Mellon, newly ap,
pointed ambassador to the Court
of st. James.
Gossip has persistently played
with the idea that he intends re-
marrying the handsome Irish wife
he divorced more than twenty
years ago. Some even insist he
has already done so.
Even the Melons closest friends
refuse to put a direct yes or no
on the possibility. Mr.. Mellon
himself, denies it; his former wife
says nothing; yet the fact is that
there has recently been a recon
element Of the friendliest nature
after a complete estrangement of
nearly a quarter of a century.
Ex.wife Returns Here
The rumor of a re-marriage has
sprung up round the former Sec
retary for several reasons. First,
his former wife, who has for
many years refused to live in
America, has returned to Wash
ington.
Mr.. Mellon, who is leaving for
London within the next two
weeks, has nevertheless recently
bought an expensive fouf-hundred
acre estate near Middleburg,
Va, within fifty miles of Wash
ington.
The estate is in the name of
his son, who has just completed
his university career, but it is an
imposing place for a young man
of IS, even though his father is
in the first dozen richest men in
the world.
Children Bring 1t About
The former Mrs. Mellon is even
now residing on the estate with
her son and her former husband
visits them frequently. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mellon had not been in COM
munication with each other for
many years.
Friends of her grown-up son
and daughter know that the
children for years have been try
ing to effect a reconciliation.
They have always been devoted tc
their mother, although separated
from her almost from babyhood
Washington people who know
the Melons most closely are Skep-
tical about the report Of actual
remarriage.

In the event an emergency
arises, Araki indicated, additional
divisions of infantry will be sent

In answering the protests de-

diplomats, Araki pointed out that
Japanese troops had been landed
in the settlement simply because
no facilities were available outside
the settlement for debarkation Of
