rations. If, therefore, to prevent can
collation. of reparations it appears nee
essary also to oppose cancellation Of
war debts, France will not hesitate.
Fears Default by Germany.
What France, like Great Britain,
fears, however, is that Germany will
default, which would leave France still
owing Great Britain and the United
States.
The ideal French solution would be
cancellation of an equal amount of
reparations and war debts, leaving
France still receiving considerable
balance of reparations. The Young
plan Just suits France. If permanent
Franco-German friendship could there
by be assured, France might even agree
to a complete cancellation of war debts
and reparations, take loss on repara-
tionS and consider peace cheap at the
price. But practically all France is
convinced that Franco-German friend
ship on an acceptable basis Is tenn
porarily impossible.
1t is being said everywhere in gov
erning circles that to cancel the war
debts and reparationS completely, as
Great Britain and Italy propose, would
leave Germany with bigger and bet
ter industrial equipment and lower
national debt than any one else. while
the disappearance through cancellation
of the reparations quarrel would lead
Immediately to a new and even more
bitter quarrel over the Polish Corridor.
French Favor Moratorium.
- The French tend to believe, more
over, that as long as the reparations
problem is unsettled the Germans will
deliberately refrain from putting thei1
finances in order. So the French plan
is to grant a two or three years mora
torium, provided the United States
grants a similar moratorium on wal
debts, and keep the whole question
open. Then, if Germany does not, il
will remain so internally weakened, the
French seem to think, that at least il
will be unable to start new agitation
over the Polish Corridor.
It would be mistake, moreover, tc
| believe that the French, as the Ger
mans so often say, are trying to hole
| the world still and oppose all changes
What France seems to be really trying
| to do is quite different namely, to hole
| Germany still while Frances allies

Rumania-develop. These countrie
actually are developing and it is seem
! ingly not without reason that the
French think that Europe may be qult'
different place 10 years hence.
| Meanwhile a movement has beer
begun in France to shift the whole wal
debt question to a new level, one much
| more pleasant for France, though
hardly so for the United States
Hitherto the allies in suggesting a re-
ducticn of war debts have urged mainly
that these were really credits expended
wholly in the United States to equiv
allied troops in a common cause at higf
| war prices. part of which the United
States Treasury Immediately recuper'
ated in the form of excess profit taxes.
What is now proposed is to drop tina
argument and present the United States
with a common bill for having held thI
me and dCne most of the fighting dur
ing the Is months from our declaration
of the war on April 6, 1917, to our frs
considerable engagement on July Is

Jury Invokes Doctrine of "Last

1t was brought out that both the

newspaper ethics, free and easy
with their amours and yet de-
voted to their jobs and relentless
in pursuit of a juicy paragraph.
I ought to say right here that
I liked "IS My Face Red" I
liked it in SPITE Of the fact that
it was so palpably influenced by
the first Of the columnist plays,

etched.
For one thing "Is My Face

pace and abundant incident Of

peters out into a wishy-washy
ending, with the conventional
clinch instead Of a hectic career
cut short with a bullet, as was
threatened.
Ricardo Cortez plays the
columniSt. He has a sophisticated
and alert secretary. His heart in
tereSt is a VanitieS girl, who tips
him off to bright paragraphs. His

haunts, speakeasies, and the
better clubs. When Mildred

enough nor endowed with the en-
thusiasm which turned a similar
role into a triumph for the foot
light Roger Pryor. But he's good
just the same. Helen Twelvetrees
gives first-class support as Peggy.
Zazu Pitts is fine. as usual, in
one of those "Oh, Mr.. Poster"

Story Of Paris
Underworld

while Paris Sleeps" a Fox
film. starring Victor McLaglen,
starts the new low price policy
at the Columbia this week. Con-
ceding a tough spot to any movie
following Grand Hotel" this
particular picture does not seem
an inspired start for the new
regime.
Victor McLaglen, sentenced to
life imprisonment for a street
brawl murder, escapes to pro-
tect his motherless daughter from
the tolls of a Partisan under
world. Unknown to her since
she cherishes his memory as a
World War dead hero, he rescues
her and her lover from a vicious
scheming group of scoundrels
who meant i'll by daughter. He
slugs the gang into fear and in
sensibility, sees the daughter
safely into the arms Of love and
then does a Beau GeSte fade-out.
Lively Encounter
Supported by Helen Mack and
William Bakewell, the picture is
frightened by one good McLaglen
scrap and the sweet appeal Of
Miss Mack. McLaglen suffers
with role calling for too much
sentimentality and though mis-
cast he does fairly well with the
grimaces of emotion.
Helen Mack has little to dc
but look innocent and sweet but
it seems a bit far fetched for one
brought up in the murk of Paris
so pictured, to so accept things
on their face value. William
Bakewell, as the accordion
player lover, handles his part
with ease. There is a good assort
ment of minor character parts
and some good photography.

AsHusbands Go
Is Farewell

AS their final offering Of the
season, the National Theater
Players will offer next week, be.
ginning Monday, June 20, the
adroit comedy of morals and
manners, LAS Husbands Co."
Written by Rachel Crothers,
who has given the American
stage some IS comely comedies,
"As Husbands Go" is an uncom-
monty clever piece Of playwriting,
which brings into contract the
life Of Main Street and the
Champs Elysees. In other words,
it is play which has as its
motif a reverse English on the
old policy. Hands Across the
Sea-" 1t shows that, after all,
America and American husbands
are all OK.
The story Of GAS Husbands Go"
tells Of a married woman who
deserts her husband for a trip to
Paris. She is accompanied by a
widowed friend. While in the
French capital, both of them be-
come enmeshed in love intrigue
and one of the lovers follows
the girls overseas, back to a
small American town. After that,
many things happen which make
LAS Husbands Go" fast-moving

Forgotten commandments"
With this trick title dripping with
melodrama, Paramount has made
a picture which can hardly be
called pretty, boxed it up with
names growing in popularity and
sent it out to Loew's Fox as pro
gram feature. 1t is story of
the Russia of today, soulless Rus
sia, with its gigantic scheme of
mass production, mass distribu-
ton and ugly, unified mode of
living.
Recounting the story of a scien.
tist, his assistant and two young

lieve, as lived in the new Russia
of the Soviet, may have been
motivated by desire to show our
own corner of the world how an.
other corner looks at existence,
but whatever moral was intended
by the insertion Of lengthy cut
from DeMille'S extravaganza.
The Ten Commandments" Is
lost in the futile finale.
The talents Of Irving Pachel
are not at ease in this unhappy
picture; he is deserving of better
fare. The blonde Gene Raymond,
who is possessed Of only one ex-
preston; Margurit Churchill, who
performs creditably, and the EN-.
bryo Dietrich, Sari Martha, who
speaks nicely and Sugges
naughty French farces, make up
the principals.
The stage gets a much higher
rating currently with the smiling
and agreeable Wesley Eddy intro
ducing the players who make up
this petite revue "PariSienne."
King, King and King, a trio OF
excellent tap-dancers, take the big
spot easily; Radcliffe and Rogers,
who offer a skit, entitled Dark
Doings," would do better to sing
more and dialogue less; Lee Kails,
Anila Avila and Jack Nile do in
terpretative dances, Sylvia Nelson,
sings a song or two, and the Ches-
ter Hale Girls do a very effective
ballet. Wesley's rendition OF

he also obliges with a series OF

March Playing a
No Good Guy,
at Palace

"Merrily We Go to HELL" cur
rent at the Palace, Is Dorothy
Arzner production for Paramount
which does not come up to the
customary high Arzner standard.
The story tells Of a girls mar
riage to a man who from start to
finish is quite unworthy, and un-
fortunately it turns out to be too
much a glorification Of the
journalistic drunkard.
Frederic March, as Jerry Cor
bett, plays a role that seems al
together too unsympathetic to
hold the regard of the average
audience. Various characters,
particularly Joan (played by
Sylvia Sidney, express the view
rather frequently that Jerry is
really a sweet soul, but most re-
grettably that does not appear on
the screen. Instead, Jerry is an
inSufferable bounder; and his ulti-
mate repentance not only seems
far-fetched but one questions how
long it will last.
The story is derived from II,
Jerry, Take Thee, JOAN" and
follows the original rather too
closely. In novel form there was
a tragic ending-Joan simply
couldn't endure life with Jerry
and took the easiest way out.
The happy ending to the picture
would ring truer if Jerry showed
more likeable traits as the mar
rative unfolds.
Joan, a rich girl, meets Jerry,
a drunken reporter (perhaps for
film purposes the word drunken
is redundant. and falls for him
madly. They marry, he goes
back to his drinking and to his
girl friend. She has to leave him
and then he reforms. Skeets
Gallagher and Esther Howard
are excellent in supporting, roles
Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts in

ways of getting rid of a cold.
